Good question.
1. Jagaban was not in control of his party then. There were internal forces working against him but now he is in full control.
2. Many Christians do not trust his Muslim Muslim ticket thereby voting against him but now Christians have enjoyed more Key appointment in this government which will change the dynamics.
3. He has the power of incumbency and many governors and gravitating towards him even from the opposition.
4. Lastly and most importantly, he will be the one to choose the next INEC chairman who will be in charge of the next election. Like it or not 'he who pays the piper dictates the tune' except Jonathan anyways who was a neophyte in politics.

You wan ask another round of questions?
No Be Juju Be Dat?
In other words rigging is the game plan abi!?

I don't take seriously the analysis of anyone, who thinks Atiku has a chance to win the presidential election as a candidate in 2027. That was his major impediment in 2023, where he attempted to succeed Buhari.

This is a Southern slot. I don't know the type of advisers he has. Perhaps, he is not listening to them. They are usually surrounded by sycophants, although his desperation cannot be ignored.

2031 is his best chance, if he can be patient. Else he will still contest and lose.

They are always in a hurry to grab power, only to end up struggling to improve the country with it.

Please under which party, this guys are wise, they want to deceive Obi to contest, so that Atiku too will contest.

Everyone knows Obi cannot be trusted

How many northerners has he appointed of late? Mention them.
Again. Who are the North? Is it Yorubas in Kwara and Kogi u are calling Northerners?
Jagaban is not and can never be afraid of the North. If u think he does then u don't know his trajectory.
Muslim Muslim ticket to entice the North? You don't understand politics. It was a political calculation.
He is a Muslim which is Minority in the South, it will be a wrong calculation to pick minority from the North. He didn't even pick an Hausa/Fulani man. He picked a Kanuri man instead.
Modified the tax reform? Are u intentionally distorting fact and history?
The North do not want the tax bill at all. The Senate made the amends and the funniest thing you don't know is that wen you are making a proposal, you raise it so high so that wen a reduction wants to be made which will be made, it will aggregate at ur expected point. You don't know politics.
Buhari stepped down RUGA because the South were against it. Jonathan stepped down the implementation of CONFAB because the North were against it. The North roared against the Tax bill but Jagaban never reason them, he passed the bill them began to cry.
Them shout say him no put Northerners for strategic positions he put a Northerner of Yoruba extraction in NNPP and told them he is a Northerner. Yesterday he put a Northerner of Yoruba extraction in another appointment the North shout again say Kogi and Kwara are not North. He put Wike as Minister of a Northern city which has never happened before the North shout them keep quiet.
Tell me.
WHAT IS UR OWN DEFINITION OF AFRAID OF THE NORTH. NA UNTIL HE KILL ALL OF THEM OR COMOT ALL OF THEM FOR POLITICS?

AGAIN!
DEFINE NORTH. WHO ARE THE NORTH?
Why didn't Tinubu appoint a Yoruba from Kwara or Kogi since you're asking who the north is?
Tinubu appointed 7 northerners in 1 week!
What else is political calculation if not regard for the north? Why didn't Tinubu pick Father Kukah a Hausa Christian? You guys just love to deceive yourselves with alternate reality.
What is the difference between the tax bills signed and the existing tax systems? Has VAT changed? The proposal to scrap TETFUND and NASENI for NELFUND, how far with it? Why postpone the implementation?

Sorry to bother you again.
Immediately I sent my reply to you, I went on front page against and saw another breaking news that Jagaban as Appointed another Yoruba man again as DG and some Northerners have started crying. Tinubu no dey disappoint. Go and read it on front page to confirm. This is FACT.

Tell me again. HOW IS JAGABAN AFRAID OF NORTH?

TALK O...SHOW PROOF AS I DEY GIVE U PROOF BACK TO BACK TO BACK

And the appointment on fp was occupied by an Easterner before the Yoruba person just appointed. So how does it affect the north when it's even a new and relatively unknown agency

Choosing one Northerner out of about 7 appointments on a role. You call that being afraid of the North?
funny you.
Let me ask you just one question.
Do you think Jagaban's appointment has favoured the North?
Yes or No.

Mention the names of the 7 appointments Oga.
Let me help you with at least two so you can tell me the five.
He picked a Yoruba man from Kwara (You can tag him as a Northerner, you are right).
He picked another Yoruba from Kogi (You can also call that a northern slot, you are right).
Show me ur own list of the seven appointments.
Tell me again:
Why is the North crying that Jagaban did not favor them in appointment and projects?
Tell me again:
What is ur own definition of North? Northerners of Yoruba extractions like Ojulari from Kwara and the likes?

Shame no dey gree catch una?

Obi beat him in 2023 squarely but he was rigged in but this time around,he will be check mated. Tinubu is already gone
How can an educated grown up talk like this? Winning Lagos and Abuja outside the SE and the SS can never make you win the Nigerian presidency. Many of us do not like tinubu but that will not make us talk like idiots. Obi is not popular in the SW outside Lagos. In the north he is next to nothing

These people are pressing your mumu button so that obi Will be deceived to contest separately from atiku again and divide the votes like 2023.

Just as tinubu truncated a southerner for second term, a southerner (Obi) should also join with a northerner to truncate his, first to do no dey pain

Tinubu is the only presidential candidate who performed woefully in Nigeria's election history. The opposition (Atiku + obi) polled more than 15M votes against Tinubu's 8M. In fact, tinubu scored higher than Atiku by less than 1.5M votes, and more than Obi with just above 2M votes.
That's a terrible margin. And this is despite all the abracadabra by INEC

When were they offered to join? Propaganda. Show ur infallible proof and not some newspaper concoction.
So, an Hausa man in Sokoto will be happy that a Yoruba man from Kwara is chosen as a Northern appointment? Are u kidding right now?
