₦airaland Forum

Sahara Reporters broke the news today that Tinubu has formally fined tuned his plans for the 2027 presidential election by picking Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan, a Kogi "Yoruba" professor as the next INEC chairman to succeed inglorious Yakubu Mahmood. The fact that Tinubu is allowed by law to appoint the next INEC chairman without any push back from Nigerians shows that Nigerians are okay and happy with the monumental rigging of elections by politicians. There is no doubt that the sinister plans on how this evil APC government will return to power have been activated and set in motion by Tinubu, Wike, Akpabio. Ganduje and other APC heavyweights.

Just as one Nairaland user called Onuman said and I quote "A person contesting election to appoint election umpire is like a football team in a national league appointing a referee for the competition. Are there no more reasonable people in Nigeria to stop the MADNESS in having the president to appoint INEC Chairman?". No one should be deceived that what happened in 2023 presidential election will magically not reoccure in 2027 presidential election as Tinubu's path to victory will only be made easier now that he is the president and owns the INEC by virtue of appointing it's chairman. If Nigerians were serious about good governance, about their future and that of the nation, they should've stormed national assembly, protested endlessly, forcing the compromised 10th Assembly to enact new laws that will stop the president from appointing INEC chairman. The nonchalant attitude and petty tribal sentiments of Nigerians over serious political issues will cost them another 4 years if nothing is done to push for electoral laws reforms that will guarantee a free and fair election in 2027.

Many readers may argue that Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan being from Kogi state north central is okay but the burden over conflict of interest with him being a Yoruba man appointed by the president (Tinubu) who is participating in the next election can't be disputed. It is left for Nigerians to decide if they want Tinubu to continue beyond 2027 by simply doing nothing to stop his plans.

If you don't mind, you can lead the protest

In this country, protests are getting useless
As it would always be boycotted and would lead to violence which nobody wants

There's a better way

How are you sure Ojo Amupitan is a Yoruba man?

Is Chinedu Gbadebo a Yoruba man? People just pick up names sometimes.

We don’t recognize him as a Yoruba man, Ojo is a Northerner and it will stay that way.

There is no "Ojo" or "Amupitan" in any natural core northerners name. If am not mistaken, these words are Yoruba terms.

Amaechi bear the name “Rotimi”, does that make him Yoruba?

Chinedu GRV bear the name Gbadebo, does that make him Yoruba?

You have countless Edo people bearing Yoruba names, does that make them Yoruba?

Okay but you know there are minority yoruba tribes in Kogi state. As long as he is being picked by Tinubu as the next INEC chairman, he is not independent. Tinubu thrives in dirty politics and won't hesitate to milk the powers of the president over INEC to his advantage. In my opinion, 2027 presidential election is a done deal. Nigerians are only wasting their time if they think Tinubu will hand them a free and fair election without demanding and fighting for it. Tinubu has already won the election by virtue of appointing the next INEC chairman.

There are no Yoruba minorities in Kwara. The Yoruba are major tribes, they cannot be said to be “minorities”.

I like you that you already admitted it’s Tinubu till 2031. For that, I forgive you for the rest of your statement.

Point of correctiom, I did not say Kwara State but Kogi State and there are Yorubas in Kogi state. I hold no pride or happiness in admitting the obvious as it is only pity I feel for Nigerians. Nigeria's economy may not survive another 4 years of this bad government. A Tinubu's win in 2027 will only mean more borrowing, more taxes, more lies, more deaths and propaganda. Nigerians simply can not afford to allow this government to continue.

Abeg help me greet Ojukwu after you don cross to the other side. As you wish so shall it be for you.

Tinubu will be president till 2031 and Nigeria will be prosperous and fruitful.

Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan is a native of Ijumu Local Government Area in Kogi State. Does "Ijumu" sound like a northern word or a Yoruba word?

@OP.

You are not fooling anyone. Simply admit you are afraid Nigeria will begin her march toward greatness under a Yoruba man and that is what you do not want to happen.

Otherwise why are you lot making so much noise now, to the point you suggest a "push back" from Nigerians against Tinubu's for a privilege all other President's have enjoyed to include OBJ reputed to have conducted the "worst election in the history of Nigeria"? I.e.that which brought Yar Adua to power under INEC Chairman, Maurice Iwu ,OBJ appointed?

I really don't know how many things you lot will desperately demand to be forcefully altered with people power "push back", just so Tinubu does not get a second term, considering you made no such demand under previous Presidents.

Mr.Hypocrite, same with OBJ, take your "push back" and shove it where the sun don't shine. Push back ko shove forward ni.

https://www.thecable.ng/you-presided-over-nigerias-most-fraudulent-election-presidency-replies-obasanjo/

Obasanjo said Nigeria must appoint new, credible leaders for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) with short tenure to prevent corruption and re-establish trust in the institution.

But in a statement on Monday, Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to the president on information and strategy, said Obasanjo left many unresolved problems for the country, adding that he presided over the most fraudulent election in Nigeria’s history.

“The beneficiary of the sham election, Umaru Yar’adua, admitted that the election was seriously flawed and, as Justice Muhammed Uwais’s panel recommended, worked towards electoral reforms,” the presidential aide said.

“It is hypocrisy writ large when a man who presided over the worst election in Nigeria demands the sack of the leadership of the Independent National Electoral Commission.

Are you for real? It is clear you are just been biased and not honest as it is obvious you're a Tinubu supporter. Let Nigerians and other users of this forum be the judge, I rest my case.

Well, you're wrong as I did not make this post to satisfy any tribal subpremacy fantacies you are insinuating. Many Nigerians agree that the current government is the worst government since Nigeria's independence. If it is true that Tinubu is presiding over the worst governement in Nigeria's history why should he get a second term? I do believe you're not one of those tribal champions on this platform who can't reason objectively. How many more needs to perish over his government's bad policies? Are you happy with the current state of Nigeria?

Bro don't waste your time with this guy. Once you see an educated and ostensibly informed poster insisting everything related to the Tinubu Government is bad then know you are 💯% talking to a bigoted Igbo person who hates Tinubu and Yorubas primordially.

I used "educated and ostensibly informed" to differentiate from Nigerians who are suffering and have poor or no education to appreciate the big picture of how we got here and why Tinubu is doing what must be done so we move forward, as quickly as possible, and never again find ourselves in this position several Presidents before Tinubu has put us in.

Those people can be excused because their ignorance is understandable as they are not well-educated nor exposed enough to understand the complexity of the problem and the solutions required which cannot come without pain and sacrifice.

Simply scan people's past post and you'll discern who they are very quickly. This is a guy, see below, who insist Tinubu's bad leadership is "killing" Nigerians as many Igbo casually love claiming. They are very predictable.

It is under Tinubu an Igbo Pastor prayed Remi Tinubu poison her husband so Jagaban will not be sworn in as President.

They have implored Nigerians to revolt and remove Tinubu. Even begged the Military to seize power just so Tinubu is gone.

When these people who never wanted a Yoruba to become President, and have shown historically that they hate Nigeria and Nigerians to the extent of causing a devastating war, begin pretending they are the biggest advocates of the good governance of Nigeria, then we know their agenda is 💯% sinister.

Only ipob terrorists agreed with the bold... While Many Nigerians agree and support the bold reforms being undertaken by President Tinubu, which has revived the comatose economy and drawing applause from many international financial ratings, increased allocations to record numbers to coffers of the three tiers of government, reduced inflation and stabilised the exchange rates.

What I’m yet to understand is why would a person be in charge of appointing who will decide his election fate before an election?

Does it make sense to appoint a referee from your family to officiate a match that’ll hold between you and your opponents? Nigerians just let the simplest things slide by and then turn around to pray to ‘God’ for a better life when they cannot even handle the most simplest of tasks

Who chooses INEC chairman during Buhari's regime? The answer is as good as you sees it.

Bro, who do you think you are talking to? A simpleton your deceptive and outrightly false scaremongering can agitate?

How is it the intention of Tinubu for Nigerians to "perish" when it is other callous Nigerian Presidents, including GEJ I am sure you love and exalt, who set the stage for what we have today where fundamental reforms, needed urgently to reverse severe past damages, cannot come without sacrifice and pain?

The main way Nigerians "perish" today is through insecurity. All educated, objective and informed Nigerians know that is a complex situation which includes Born-to-rule Northern supremacists and hegemonists ramping up deadly terror under Southern Presidents, as we saw under GEJ, they believe achieves two things

(1) Facilitation of their easiest, quickest and assured return to power.

(2) Creation of disincentive for a President from the South to lead too progressively and transformationally in favour of ordinary Nigerians.

Not surprising they do not want this since they prefer impoverishing, suppressing and oppressing their ordinary folks in the North, as a culture, to keep them docile and unable to rebel against a system where many beg for a living yet a few live in stupendous wealth with their unemployed children racing ridiculously expensive supercars across the streets of Abuja etal.

You are not blind to all this yet you deliberately misinform desperately and daily online to create the perception our serious problems began under PBAT.

Ironic you people always like accusing Tinubu of being evil and wicked yet you don't see the personification of what you claim Tinubu is when you look in the mirror.

Precisely. We know why they are that way also. I.e pure and undiluted hatred of Yorubas to the extent they cannot stand the thought of Nigeria becoming great under a Yoruba President.

If anyone is on doubt, let them show me proof of Igbos , aside the poster OkoroAwusa alone, showing up on many threads, where the current Government has done very well, to commend President Tinubu.

Anyone is free to show me proof of Igbos , in large numbers, commending the exemplary achievement of Tunji-Oji to the extent we don't talk of passport issues here anymore whereas 30 to 50 threads were opened on the issue weekly, on this forum, when Buhari was President.

What of student loan, benefitting the North greatly, that removes the problem of promising students being unable to attend university because of poverty?

They are even the only folks here, using korokoro lies, to deny power supply has improved significantly under Tinubu than has ever being witnessed since 1999 when our current democracy began.

I can go on all day but the conclusion is that knowledgeable people are not fooled.

We know why it is them alone who use words like "evil", "wicked" , "killer" etal, as appellations to describe Tinubu, to the extent gullible folks may believe they care about Nigeria and Nigerians more than all else whereas history shows us otherwise and indeed confirms they are the biggest haters of Nigerian and their fellow Nigerians.

It is common sense as you don't need to think to see that 2027 is a done deal. Tinubu will win the next election over this obvious unfair advantage he enjoys. Sadly, many Nigerians are yet to discipher what you're trying to say here.

Because Buhari did it, does that make it right? If it is wrong should Nigerians fold their arms and let it continue? There is no way 2027 election will be a fair if INEC is under the influence of Tinubu's APC presidency.

You keep talking about sacrifice, what sacrifice have Tinubu and members of his government made over reducing the government costs, their wasteful spendings or purging themselves of corruption. Since 2023 till now can you point to any meaningful developmental programs initiated by Tinubu that Nigerians are proud of? What about the mass killings that have continued and increased with no end in sight. What about the the increasing high cost of goods and services? What about the monumental looting/corruption being done by the military heads and other members of Tinubu's government? There is no way you can say what you are saying here defending this government or Tinubu making sacrifices without sounding like a clown because what you're saying is simply not true.
