My post is based on your false narrative that the Northern INEC chairman gave thr election to Buhari and Tinubu without them winning it .
Thr only election results you believe to be right are the ones that your candidate win. Anything else is rigged. No be so?

The last election is by far the best election in the history of Nigeria. Fact!

He is obviously blind to the ruse. It's a political game concorted to gaslight them to announce northerners as winners whether they win or not.

But such ruse can't be played on a northerner whose only allegiance is only to his own person. Case in point GEJ appointing Jega thinking he will be loyal.

Don't expect Tinubu to make same mistake.

In the history of Nigeria, no INEC Chairman has colluded with politicians to make citizens suffer like the two you lamented from the North. This una northeness na bad thing. When nations are talking about competence and inclusion, you are all here championing ethnic and tribal agendas. That is what has put us in this piss-poor, piss-poor condition.

It is like officiating 10 world cup finals in a row and yet your home country never qualified for once

Of what importance is being Inec chairman the most times when your region isn't smelling Presidency?

Elfidel:
Former Presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad, has kicked against the appointment of only 2 Northerners to assume the position of chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC since its inception.

In a post shared on X, Bashir argued that out of the 12 INEC chairman that have have been appointed, 10 are from the South East and South South while only two are from the North.,

He argued that this ‘’stark imbalance'' should raise questions about equitable representation in one of Nigeria’s most critical democratic institutions.

The two northerners sef have done what Napoleon could not do.

The mess created by these two have set Nigeria back by 50 light years.

Prof Iwuru wuru didn't even do up to what they did. They subverted the will of the people.

Parastatals that are more important than holding the presidency for 8 years (Obj) and Vice Presidency for another eight years (Osibanjo)? Yoruba and their kobo kobo serpentine sense.

Tinubu led Yorubas to make Buhari president in place of Jonathan who was maintaining PDP deregulation and privatisation prosperity.

Buhari would have failed a 4th time without Yoruba support. The Yorubas reinforced his failure in 2019.

Tinubu rules out alliance with CPC

Prospect of a possible alliance between the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN and Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, was dashed yesterday in Kano as the leader of the party and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu described CPC as parading “expired leadership.”

Tinubu told ACN supporters in Kano during the party’s Presidential rally that: “What Nigerians need now is a transformation in leadership” as obtained in the advanced economy.

The two-term Governor of Lagos State explained that the leadership of ACN was offering Nigeria the brilliance of Nuhu Ribadu who, he said, is in the class of Nicolas Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain, Medvedev of Russia and Barack Obama of the United States of America.

“What has CPC got to offer? We certainly don’t need expired leadership as we are offering the best in terms of brilliance, courage and patriotism in the class of Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain and Barack Obama of the USA.”

Tinubu’s position came on the heels of Ribadu’s declaration penultimate week in Kaduna when he hinted during a political rally of a joint ticket between the two opposition parties to confront the dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

The national leader of ACN criticised President Goodluck Jonathan for shying away from the national debate held last Friday, stressing that”that singular act exposed Jonathan as a coward who has nothing to offer.”

Flashback: How Bola Tinubu spoke highly of Buhari in 2015, named PDP ‘Poverty Development Party

National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had during the presidential campaign in 2015, referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as the only solution for the security and economic challenges facing Nigeria.

During a mega presidential rally, the former governor of Lagos State recalled how some powerful nations in the world returned to army generals when they were challenged, saying “Major General Buhari would revive Nigeria’s economy”.

He named the current opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP as the “Poverty Development Party saying they had nothing to offer.

His words at the time were; “Every nation has a period of their own challenges, when America was challenged, they turned to one great man, their ex-military general, General Eisenhower. When the French were challenged, they turned to their general, Charles de Gaulle.

“When Britain was challenged, they turned to their general. Today, Nigeria is economically and physically challenged so we turn to General Muhammadu Buhari. He is the right man for the job. If you talk about military experience, he has it abundantly, he has courage, simplicity, he has it abundantly.

“If you talk about great determination, a combination of vision and ability to perform, honesty and integrity, he has it abundantly.

“I laugh when the incapable government, ‘Poverty Development Party’ PDP were talking. They have nothing again to say, they now want to question the qualifications of General Buhari and look for his certificate”.

Following the manifestos in 2015 which projected the APC presidential candidate as a ‘saviour’, Buhari defeated the then incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan with Nigerians expecting a total change in security and economy.

I always got a hint of regional bigotry from Mr. Man. Any public official whether past or present should be on a higher level of seeking solidarity in the nation.
Bro looks like he missed a few meals. Maybe it was just the lighting. Plenty of free rice was given out in a large southern city this past weekend. 😉

Very wrong and selfish analysis. If the north rules this country more than any region, it's ideal that the INEC chairmen should come from other regions

Very funny dude. Why did he have to make his argument about North and South? When it is convenient, they lump the south west with the south to hide the marginalization of Yorubas. When it is not convenient, they single out the south west and claim all appointments are going to only Yorubas.


The fact that should be clearly stated is that no Yoruba people has even been appointed to head Nigeria’s electoral commission since independence. Even if we are to look at it only from 1999, SS(twice), SE, NW and NE have all been INEC chairman. In fact the north has been in charge of INEC for the last 15 years. So, for equity sake, everyone should be clamoring for an INEC chairman from the south west. That’s the only sensible argument anyone can make.
Hypocrite
When it comes to president, it is North vs South
When it comes to INEC, it is SW vs NE, NW, NC, SE, SS. NC is yet to produce an INEC chair as well

No INEC chairman has been worse than Maurice Iwu since 1999. The clown who declared someone winner while election was still ongoing. Rest Abeg
Which election did he declare someone winner when elections was still ongoing? Your heads have been filled with APC lies

This is the pure fact. It is now very difficult to rig elections in Nigeria. Even when you manage to rig, you have to constrain it within the values that BVAS permits otherwise the whole result gets thrown out the window.
