I Pity Tinubu, 22 PDP Govs Endorsed Jonathan Yet He Lost Re-election —ndume by Chinonye2022(op): 9:29pm On Jun 08, 2025
The lawmaker said he did not support the decision of APC governors endorsing the president's re-election as "things are very bad in the country".
The senator, who has been in the National Assembly for over 20 years, was a guest on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics programme.

According to him, former President Goodluck Jonathan secured the endorsement of 22 governors of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the 2015 poll yet he lost his re-election to Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
On May 22, 2025, 22 APC governors unanimously adopted Tinubu as the APC candidate for the 2027 election.

Ndume, a high-ranking APC member, said he did not support the decision of the APC governors as “things are very bad in the country” at the moment.
He lamented the harsh economic situation, the skyrocketing cost of living in the country and the insecurity ravaging parts of Nigeria. “Nigerians cannot see any hope, they are doubting the Renewed Hope,” he said.

According to him, he stormed out of the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa in Abuja when the governors endorsed the president for re-election.
Ndume said, “I was there but that was not why I was there; I was there for a summit and when I realised that it was not a summit and voice vote was put about the endorsement of Mr President, I just left, and that does not mean I am not an APC member. The majority had its way but few of us felt that was not right.
It happened before, not once, not twice. It happened during Jonathan. That does not mean anything. Politicians are decamping but the people who are the voters are not decamping.

“I hope that he would look back historically and see that the gathering of people to endorse you does not mean anything.
Jonathan had 22 governors then endorsing him like was done now. And what happened? Jonathan lost woefully. A lot of money was spent. Even the election was shifted but we are not learning our lessons. I pity Mr President.”
The six-term federal lawmaker has been in the National Assembly since 2003. He first represented Chibok/Damboa/Gwoza Federal Constituency in Borno State for two terms (from 2003 to 2011) in the House of Representatives. He proceeded to the Senate in 2011 when he was elected to represent Borno South Senatorial District, a seat he has kept to date.

They are all defecting because they don't want the same fate that befell Fubara to befall them. They want to secure their second term.

What exactly is Ndume's problem?.. or does he think PBAT is from a minority ethnic group like GEJ that North tossed around?.
A whole Jagaban that caged you destructive people is who you're feeling pity for?. Interesting. Ndume's home State is war zone from terror activities, but you won't see him utter a word or take steps to restore peace in his troubled State.

If not for Lagos and SW commerce, will most of your States up North survive?. Nonsense

When it comes to polities, some Nigerians na mouth we dey especially the youth, many of una wen dey analyse this political matter most of una nor get PVC, even if una get, una nor dey vote, even if una go vote, na to sell una vote for less than 2k & a congo of rice.
Most of una think say a mouth dem take dey overthrown government, if election hold today una go still vote APC, even if them cancel the election do another one again, una go still vote APC.
Most of una go dey blast North say make them let the South do their 8 yrs, but things are not working for the ordinary man on the street, what is the essence of a southern been in position and it's citizens are dieing like ants as if we are in a war tourn nation.
This government is not the government for the people but the government for the political class and elite, know this and have peace of mind.

You go wail tire.. youths should remove APC and install far worse candidates with no track record of success.
Those not interested in voting their fake messiah automatically sold their votes and collected cup of rice.. shallow mentality.

Tinubu can not lace Jonathan’s shoes in terms of leadership qualities.
Leaders are assessed on their performance not propaganda.
Jonathan despite calls for subsidy removal maintained fuel subsidies for most of his tenure, keeping petrol affordable at ₦87/litre

Tinubu: Removed subsidy on day one, resulting in fuel prices jumping over ₦1,000/litre in less than a year, sparking nationwide hardship.

During Jonathan's administration Naira hovered around ₦150–₦200 to $1.

In Tinubu's economy the naira has fluctuated wildly, reaching over ₦1,700 to $1 at one point due to floating the currency without clear cushioning policies.
Re: I Pity Tinubu, 22 PDP Govs Endorsed Jonathan Yet He Lost Re-election —ndume by Stilloracle: 11:15pm On Jun 08, 2025
Tinubu is not Jonathan

Jonathan needed Yaradua to die to be acting president
Jonathan needed OBJand PDP to be elected. He needed a god father. Jonathan had no structure.
Tinubu even supported Jonathan at last minute. Ditching Ribadu.

Tinubu is 1000000 miles ahead of Jonathan.
Tinubu is the structure himself

The scenario and dynamics are quite different. Tinubu will win if the opposition does not put their acts together. They need a force and unity that people can rally behind. Not a rag tag approach.

Is that your own defense? He go cry for long. You people are truly suffering and smiling as they said.
The facts of your oppressions have just been rolled out for you and all you could do is to say he needs help. Someone who is indirectly in your defense needs help. Tell me, is he not speaking for your betterment? And you are here opposing him all because you want your kinsman to keep being the president and maybe because you get little crumbs from your oppressors

Well Jonathan wasn't and isn't as politically wise as Tinubu. Tinubu won't depend on governors or politicians he depends on the source.

Now 24+1 if you include Akwa ibom ,Anambra and Abuja

It could get to 27 or 28 by next year political primaries. Osun, Rivers ,plateau, Adamawa, zamfara, Taraba and bayelsa ( at least 3 out of 7 will endorse him)

He wont need 90% of votes.

49% of total votes is the highest he will need to guarantee reelection.

Ndume acting as face of opposition , seeing how the presidency has kept quiet to his shenanigans. I am close to certain, he wont retain his seat nor get governorship.
