Most definitely by looking 👀 @ yourself in the mirror, u must be one also, to come to that conclusion without evidence?

Tinubu why? Why are you marginalizing the Yoruba people.

No Yoruba man has been appointed INEC chairman ever. This is so sad.

lets not behave like they behave. He is a yoruba man and anyone who doersnt like it can go hug a transformer. Since 1999 every president has appointed INEC commisioner. These are the rules, anyone who doesnt like the rules should lobby for the rules to be changed but this one o...e don appoint and he will serve his term.

Welcome on board, Prof.!

My prayer for you is that you will surpass your predecessors in that very hot seat as INEC Chairman.

Henceforth, you will become the cynosure of all eyes: the good, the bad and the very ugly!

Remember Prof., that even if you turn out the world best, some people who are incurably blinded by hatred would still pick holes in your handling of the Commission.

Just do your best and leave the rest for posterity to be the judge.

Congratulations and cheers!

[quote author=casualobserver post=137068646]Tinubu doesnt owe jonathan an apology, If you said he owes Nigerians an apology that would make more sense. Jonathan is the one who should rue the fact that he did not have the courage of his conviction to follow through on what he knew was the right thing to do.[/quot

Courage? Jonathan was doing the right thing at the time, as a stateman, the least Tinubu and his league could do at the time was leave him be if they won't support him. That is the American spirit. They put the country ahead of politics. Fayemi few months back admitted it was all politics, does that make sense to you?

Anyway if that does make sense to you and make you sleep better, who am I to steal your sleep. Stay safe brother.

I agree but you have to play the same game like them to silence them.

How can he do what right when he is been appointed by a 2027 presidential aspirant. Nigerians decided to fold their arms and do nothing to pressurize the national assembly to enact electoral reforms that would've guaranteed the appointment of an independent INEC chairman so I wonder why it will be a surprise to anyone if Tinubu wins in 2027. Anyone telling who tells you that Amupitan will give you a fair election is either deceiving you or living in self-denial

I don't care where he is from; I hope he does what is right when it is right.

In as much as he is Yoruba Kogi, but the most important question is, is he going to be compromised like the rest? Has he been briefed on what to do? Is he a secret political member of APC? Time will tell ......To me, till date, the most credible INEC umpire has been late Prof Humphrey Nwosu. Who maintained his ground and announced Nigeria's fairest election so far, which was won by MKO Abiola

Despite she is my half sister we are tired of obidient unruly behaviour turning to national moles and be embarrassing themselves. Enough is enough of uneecessary emotion and hate.

And I said it yesterday that before Friday tomorrow we will remove her and its done.

And I said We will pick from Kogi or kwara and it happened.

oga knowing and doing are 2 different things. The job of a good leader is to finish the job, you will always have opposition, the same people that criticize you will praise you when they see they benefits.

anybody can say we must remove subsidy, every sound economics student who hasnt graduated knopws that. Removing the subsidy and staying strong in the face of the backlash knowing it is the right thing to do is where the courage is. that is where you earn your stripes and place in history as a leader. Do you know the backlash Awolowo faced when he was taxing farmers and market women to pay for free education? i read somewhere that at the time the tax rate in the western region was 44%. What are they saying about Awolowo and education today and forever?

Researchers, over to you on the new appointee's profile.

I personally do not believe Tinubu won the last election giving Buhari/APC 's outing prior. However, Tinubu has proven to be a far better administrator than Buhari and in some respect, Jonathan (although he owes Jonathan an apology for the subsidy protest, having come to swallow his vomit on keeping subsidy).

Having said the above, regardless my support of Tinubu 's economic policy, it will take heavy politicking, and some rigging for Tinubu to win the coming election. This is not because Tinubu has been terrible, but because Nigerians are too poor, uneducated to appreciate the reforms. If we agree, the greater number are hungry illiterates with a need for immediate gratification, then you'd agree that the greater number won't want Tinubu back. Those that are literate enough as Sanusi, Iweala, to appreciate his policies, do not have the numbers. So see you see rigging.

contradiction
Greater number need gratification
Or greater number don't want the gratifier in chief
Pick a side

I may be wrong but seems to be a no nonsense man. Kogi seems to be one State that has very tough and hard-to-crack individuals. If my permutation is correct, this may likely be another Jega against APC. I don't see him being used against the populace. This may likely be a big mistake from the ruling party. Kogi has too many factions to trust the faction this may likely favour. Like someone said, "na Dino former lawyer". Dino faction, Natasha faction, Bello faction, etc. Even the choice of the party Chairman too may be another mistake too. Like I said, I may be wrong. Anything for the welfare of Nigerians, I support 100% and not politicians gains alone.

Many people fail to understand that rigging is conducted at ward coalition centers. It's collusion of party agents. That's why civil society groups are calling for direct transmission. INEC CHAIRMAN announces results from states, he dares not change one figure. There's a reason Elrufai said they will resist rigging 🤷🏿
