On A Second Thought, No Southerner Should Contest Against Tinubu by oyichi(op): 10:02pm On Aug 31, 2025
It is only a disfunctional brain that will think that the northerners are fighting tinubu because of the state of the country right now, those people are not interested in the betterment of this country at all, all what they think about is their North, they fought and helped in installing this government not becouse tinubu is the best, infact, looking at tinubu"s behavior during the campaigns, no sane human will want him to manage his tooth pick factory but they supported him because they thought they will control him and he will not last long, it's all about their interests, tinubu have not done anything new, everything that he is exhibiting today are templates handed to him by buhari, let us all enjoy the show, the reason why I will vote tinubu this time is the same reason the north had for voting buhari the second time, nobody should allow himself to be used by those selfish lots

Dead on arrival. Is Tinubu running a "Southern" government or a Lagos-centric government? The same North you seek to vilify gave Tinubu 5.6m votes to make him president. The South didn't vote Tinubu. He only won 4 states in the Southwest plus Rivers state under questionable circumstances. By 2027, nothing much will change in the South but there will be no 5.6m Northern votes.

Where was the Southern solidarity from Tinubu when South South Jonathan needed it most 2019?

He claims he is running a southern government while all the juice and honey from the government are going to Lagos state and South West..

Tinubu promised to run a Muslim Muslim government to favor the northern Nigeria now he has turned around to run a Yoruba Lagos government even Shitima is sidelined completely. Osinbajo was never sidelined by Buhari the way Tinubu is currently sidelining Shitima...
This means in 2027 Muslim Muslim ticket won't sell in the north anymore...

The Governors can't save especially those southern government because the money you welcome them into APC the more APC loses it base in the core north and gradually becomes a Southern party like PDP..

It is insulting to start rallying "the south" for Tinubu.
Tinubu never saw himself as a southerner. He has always seen himself as an southwesterner.
Let's keep it that way.
Let him and his gang keep that energy till the election day

There is nothing like Southern Nigeria to start with.


What we have in the South is:

Igbo
Yoruba
Others


So you need to change your topic to:


No Yoruba Person Should Contest Against Tinubu in 2027 because Bola Tinubu is not a Southern President, he is a Yoruba President there to propagate and elevate Yoruba interest only.


Please correct your title, thank you for your attention to this matter cool

Simple as ABC.

When it's time for juicy appointments, project allocation and all other benefits, they will start chanting Omoluabi, Yoruba egbe, etc, but when its time to defend their failed brother from scrutiny, they turn to we Southern Nigerians, who do they think they can deceive? Sighs

No Southwesterner should contest against Tinubu, be specific whenever you mention South because there is nothing like that. We only have Southeast, Southwest and Southsouth, no South.

Yes. Tinubu is a SW president and we are proud of it.

After Tinubu, power can go back to the north.

Let everyone region play their own game.

Where was the SE when the SW jumped in to ensure power moved to GEJ. See screenshot attached.

Only for SE to turn GEJ to an igbo man and hijacked his presidency and gave him a middle name "ebelechukwu". They even convinced him to fill his cabinet with Igbo people and a few SS people while sidelining the SW.

This thread from 2011 is proof.

Listen and listen carefully, we in the SW do not care. After Tinubu, power can go back to the North. That will be awesome. Make every region all over Nigeria bear their papa name.

Several election results have shown that anyone can win an election without the south east.

If any region should be boasting of not voting for a candidate, it should not be the SE .
The SE votes in any election has little or not effect.
Buhari won twice without the SE votes, balablu won in 2023 without significant votes from SE

The SE can't threaten anyone with their votes.
In fact, those candidates that got massive votes from that region always lose election.

Southern unity did not die under tinubu, southern unity died since independence.

There was never a southern unity in the first place
Yorubas and Igbos don't share anything in common, not a boundary, culture, dressing, ideology etc. nothing!

Don't make any fruitless effort to make people feel like it was tinubu that destroyed a non existing unity.

Yorubas and Igbos have been at loggerhead since the time of awolowo and Azikiwe.

Tinubu won in 2023 without the votes from SE, he will most likely win again with significant votes from SE .

If tinubu lost on 2027, it is not because of the lack of votes from SE.

I always feel nothing short of extreme disgust whenever these oily mouthed snakes mention "southern" this or that in relation to their intolerable Tinubu. I can barely contain myself. Let them awalokanize themselves to the fullest extent and eat their putrid amala alone. When the time comes, they will continue dancing surugede even without any music playing.

Between Atiku and Tinubu, whose Presidency will balance power dynamics between North and South? There’s a reason people like OBJ, Yar’adua, and GEJ were respected despite controversies during their Presidency.

Atiku will do a much better job than Tinubu.

💯.
Buhari did it twice.
Tinubu has done it once and would be twice in 2027.

Nobody can win election with votes from one region alone. Buhari couldn't win with Northern votes alone, he had to join forces with South West to win.
Tinubu only won because of the support he got from the north with little support from South West.
The reason this OP is writing this epistle is because Tinubu has lost the Northern support and South West votes alone can't win him presidency, so he's seeking the collective Southern support.

That's dead on arrival because unlike Buhari that carried the three Northern regions along, Tinubu is only favouring the South West.

In 2023, Tinubu did an uncommon thing. He picked votes everywhere except the SE. Atiku got the most support in the North. Atiku won the KKK states. Atiku won the northern votes. Tinubu just picked votes here and there. He would even get more votes in 2027.

The old Eastern region will not vote to spite another region but what economic benefit a presidential candidate is perceived to pursue.

We will not vote for Tinubu because he has failed irreversibly. If we vote for him to spite the North, how does that benefit us?

This is the reason why no federal government the old Eastern region(SS and SE) has voted for that has not succeeded

grin cheesy

You are also not fighting for the South just like the Northerners. Before the election Tinubu & his clans were shouting South South & more South.

After the grab of election rigging, Tinubu & his kinsmen forget the South and concentrated only on parapoism.

Nobody cares for the South & no one cares for the North either. What everyone cares about now is Tinubu must go.
