What was the presidential election results like in the APC states of Imo, Cross River and Ebonyi? Just like in Lagos, the governors may comfortably win their reelection but that doesn't mean Tinubu will win these states.
Go and check the result of APC in Imo, Cross River and Ebonyi and compare with states that did not have APC governors like Enugu, Anambra and Abia state.

Show me one person (outside of the SW, of course and not a direct appointee or beneficiary) who didn't vote Tinubu in 2023 and is now ready to vote for him and I will show you 5 people who voted Tinubu in 2023 and will not be voting him in 2027.

Lol. You quoted and bolded what I said and still went ahead to prove me right. In other words, only direct beneficiaries or appointees have been successfully flipped (I wouldn't even bank on it). If you all will accuse Sanwo-olu and some of his appointees for betraying Tinubu in 2023, how can you then count on others from other regions who owe Tinubu nothing? So all Tinubu's voters are still intact and he will gain more voters despite his abysmal performance right? But both Atiku and Obi have gained no new voters? Time is a gentleman.

I have. Commulatively, Tinubu scored less than 150,000 votes in the entire Southeast (APC states inclusive). Is there something else I should be looking at? That's barely a ward in the North. Anything short of Tinubu winning the entire South in a landslide will not be enough to see him through the finish line. You can take this to the bank.

I did not mention any appointee or beneficiary. I mentioned state governors, Atiku’s former running mate, a former speaker etc. These are people who worked against Tinubu in 2023 and will be working for him in 2027. Come up with your own list of people who worked for him in 2023 and won’t be supporting him in 2027 so that we can compare and analyze who has made a net gain of supporters. I’m waiting.

If wishes were horses, online election permutation by obedients should be enough to predict the winners of the next 100 federal elections and if polling units are on Twitter or Nairaland then Elrufai will be the next president deputized by Pandora. Yesufu will be the Senate President while Aregbe will be the Chief Justice of the federation.

NEW ERA.......
The new era promised two years ago?

Deltafirstson:
Although the pump price of fuel was N197 when President Bola Tinubu took over on May 29, 2023, the product now sells for N617 per litre – less than two months after.

In his inaugural address, Tinubu announced that subsidy was gone, fulfilling a promise that all leading presidential candidates made during the campaign.

However, pump price of fuel hit N537 per litre days after Tinubu ended subsidy.

On Tuesday, the price climbed further to N617, a development that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) attributed to “market forces”.

Nigerians have been lamenting the hardship occasioned by fuel price hike. Amid the lamentation, a video where Tinubu campaigned to slash the price of fuel went into circulation.

Checks by Daily Trust affirmed the authenticity of the video uploaded on the YouTube page of Channels Television.

At his campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, on January 25, 2023, Tinubu spoke on a number of issues, but those of fuel scarcity and naira redesign made the headlines.

However, Tinubu who spoke in Yoruba language, also assured the crowd that though people were saying petrol price would hit N200, it would be reviewed downward under him.

“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax, we will bring it down,” he had said in the 7th minute of the video.

King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, a Fuji musician who performed at the rally, interrupted the president’s speech with chants as the crowd cheered.

On the campaign podium with the president were Vice-President Kashim Shettima; Pa Bisi Akande, interim National Chairman of the APC; Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President; Senator Gbenga Daniel; among other bigwigs of the ruling party.

Tinubu went further to say Nigerians would defy the acute fuel scarcity at the time and trek to cast their votes.

“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200/N500 per litre. Go and relax, we will crash the prices,” he had said.

Buhari’ll reduce petrol to N40/L —David-West

FORMER Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Prof. Tamunoemi David-West, said that Nigerians should expect sharp drop in petrol price from the current N87 to about N40 per litre, saying, “the president-elect, Gen. Mohammed Buhari, will reduce the fuel pump price to N40 per litre.”

Petrol should never cost more than N70 per litre, says APC

January 19, 2015

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as mere tokenism the reduction of petrol price from N97 to N87 per litre, saying the petroleum product ordinarily should sell for N70.

On Sunday, the federal government announced the reduction of petrol price, citing the fall of global crude oil price.

But the APC through Lai Mohammed, its spokesman, on Monday accused the government of making a show out of deceit, saying “a 10.3 per cent slash in the price of petrol was a mere tokenism at a time the price of crude oil has crashed by about 60 per cent”.

It argued that the pump price of a litre of petrol should not be more than 70 Naira, alleging that at N87 per litre, the government was forcing Nigerians to subsidise the massive corruption in the oil sector by N17 for every litre of fuel.

May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu

According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”

On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.

Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.

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.

Atiku won all the states in the NE with exception of Borno (slim margin). He also won all the states in the NW with exception of Kano, Zamfara and Jigawa. That was in 2023 when Tinubu was popular in the North and everyone believed it was the turn of the South. How many PDP governors did he have then? All governors of the PDP are expected to dump the party and take advantage of the state-backed unopposed largess that Tinubu is offering. It doesn't guarantee that Tinubu will win their states. Time is a gentleman.
When was Tinubu popular? In 2022 when the sitting president, Vice President, Senate President, APC Chairman, CBN Governor and almost every one in the country were against him to the extent that Emefiele had to change the nation's currency in the wake of an election in their quest to make sure he will loose? He was popular yet no one in your generation voted for him. If you compare 2023 with the upcoming election then I'm afraid you might not survive the coma. Tinubu's re-election will be a repeat of the June 12 landslide victory of Abiola. The way PDP is now, even the combined effort of Pandora, Atiku, Elrufai, Aregbe, Amaechi, Malami and the lousy obidients can't guarantee them 30% of the votes. It is finished according to Agbotikuyo.

Who is Closer To The People?
Is it not your Governor and the Political Structures in the State?
What People like you Failed to Understand IS THAT EACH-GOVERNOR IS CEMENTING HIS 2- Term,with the alignment WITH THE CENTER - WHICH GUARANTEES ABSOLUTE LOYALTY AND THESE GOVERNORS WILL BE READY TO USE WHATEVER IT TAKES TO RETURN TO THEIR RESPECTIVE STATE HOUSES OF ASSEMBLY!
YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK!
AND BY SO DOING - AUTOMATICALLY ENSURES TINUBU'S 2nd- Term is Solid and guaranteed!
• Always Remember - THAT IN POLITICS,THERE IS NO PERMANENT ENEMIES - ALL OVER The WORLD 🌎 BUT PERMANENT INTERESTS - drives Politicians in their Directions!
• The question ❓ - is if you are a Governor - would you Not like a Guarantee 2nd Term?

Atiku had Buhari’s cabal, Emefiele etc in 2023. At some point, Atiku and his goons started supporting Buhari’s government policies because they believed they were in their favour. Infact all the odds were against Tinubu in 2023.. lastly, name one state Atiku won in the South in 2023 that was not controlled by PDP. Atiku is finished without PDP structure.
