This is a truly nonsensical thread.

Tinubu at the time was talking about the National Assembly intruding into the operations of INEC. This has absolutely nothing in common with mass emigrations from one political party to another. Everyone has freedom of association, and nothing is stopping you from going to replace the political migrants if you feel any political party needs more hands.

In life , People are mostly against what's not favoring them but change position when they're the one dishing it out ....a popular example is those that shout genocide but they change position when they are the ones commiting genocide .

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.

He should be sponsoring ADC and LP and be resolving their crisis for them because he doesn't want one party statehuhhuh??

Then,he was talking to his fellow oppositions and he made sure that one party state didnt happen.

Its the work of the babasuwes and Lukuluku ike Peter OBi and co to prevent one party state not Tinubu. Tinubu has played his own role as opposition and he played it well.Should he be doing the work of Atiku,OBI and co for themhuh?

Tinubu has clearly said he has no duty to keep the umbrella intact. PDP should take care of his house. During OJ tenure was ACN not reduced to a one state party?

Whoever loves his horses will not open the stable door and set it on fire.

So he should reject others if they want to join his party. I told you before that you are not smart at all. Show me one politician anywhere in the world who will reject more support.

If the Shcuk Shumer, our Senate Minority leader, should wake up tomorrow and decide to support Trump by joining the Republican party, Trump will call him one of the greatest men to ever live, even though he's calling him sorts of names today.

Your pain is very obvious; go and take some meds for that.

BTW, we do not have a one-party state. In a one-party state such as China, there are laws that bar anyone from forming any other party.
In Nigeria today, we still have LP, ADC, PDP, Accord, and many other parties.

i cant see who or the post that started this thread cos its someone i have blocked but i am not shocked because this is the kind of low level reasoning and nonsense posts that get people like him blocked.


there are over 40 political parties in Nigeria, it is not the responsibility of APC or Tinubu to sort them out the problems of opposition parties. Neither is he under any obligation to deny defectors.

Peter Mba just defected, he is taking a big risjk because his constituency are arch enemies of the president and APC so why would he jeorpardize his career by defecting? He is a sitting governor who enjoys immunity, he controls the state purse, he has a second term to consider and he will comfortably win in PDP...so why is he defecting?

I have said it before that the sooner the opposition supporters start to hold their leaders for their failures the sooner the opposition will get its act together but so long as they lazily continue to blame the APC or the president, the longer the rot continues.

PDP, LP ADC etc have no incentive to get their act together when their supporters continue to blame others for their failures instead of the leadership of these parties.

Again there is nothing like a one party state, if the other parties are getting weak by the day, you should look inwards and take responsibility for not holding your leaders in opposition to account for the way they managed their parties, their inability to settle squabbles, their selfishness etc.

you have tenants, you and your wife are always arguing all night disturbing the tenants, the tenants one by one cancel their lease and take up tenancy with your neighbour. Instead of the children to tell the parents to please settle the causes of your constant fights, you the children are blaming your neighbour for taking your tenants saying he wants to be the only landlord. is the landlord supposed to say no to new tenants? is it his business to settle fights with your wife? the parents will continue to fight because they havent been shamed by being called to order by their children telling them to behave like adults so they dont see anything wrong with what they are doing to the family.

at some point responsible children have to say Daddy, Mummy stop the fights, get your act together, you are chasing the tenants away! for so long as the children blame the neighbour, the parents will not be shocked to act and do the right thing. The children are enabling the acts of the parents by blaming the neighbour.

Blame the politicans who are defecting for one party state, not the government of the day.

Na them wey dey do am to pursure their personal ambitions.

There are over 20 parties that will present candidates in the next election. If we can vote for parties that have no former or current PDP, and APC Members (yes, that means not voting for emilokan, atiku or obi too, sorry for all their supporters..lol)...we can send a message to these people that enough is enough.

Forget politics k if Nigeria really wants to move ahead in the comity of nations, we need a 1 party state same way China and Singapore used it to become first world countries.

Except you want to deceive yourself the only advanced and progressive state in Nigeria since 1999 is lagos state , and it has been under 1 party rule , the other state with some visble progress to an extent and stability is Anambra as it has been under apga since 99.

-They know they can get away with anything once you guys collect half bag of rice

China and Singapore were both autocracies. If you want that type of autocracy for nigeria, many of you will cry and weep

Plus, a lot of countries became advanced while being democracies. The key thing they did was to promote capitalist driven industries. That would export things. (Which is what china and singapore do)

Here in Nigeria, we can have one party rule, or multiiparty democracy, so long as our leaders run a sharing economy, instead of a producing economy, we no go see advance.

I'm sure it was ok for you when PDP was the recieving party, n'cest pas?

Racoon, better realize that your party PDP started this thing, even ignoring rules that stated that someone had to resign from elected office after defecting

Plus, don't blame tinubu for this, (and yes, I don't blame GEJ, YARARDUA, and obasanjo for PDP related defections). Blame your lazy ass politicans who see parties as SPV, Not as ideologic centers.

At the end, we got vote out your party and APC....someday.

Well, he also opposed and helped pull down Subsidy removal attempt by Jonathan, as well as castigating fuel price hike.


Democracy will take Nigeria nowhere, especially when those who would have been jailed and executed by a no-nonsense Military regime are the ones claiming to have the solutions.


Those who had the chance to japa and blew it... Well, I have no words for you today.

I pity people who are always in support of an action, either it's good or bad, for as much as the action originate from their own. Soon it will clear from our eyes. We're gnashing our teeth today and crying because if economic hardships caused by the stupidest handling of national issues by past leaders. Today, some of us are still supporting same rotten system because the man at the helm of affairs is our tribe or someone who use the national cake to buy support for his personal goals. Remember, tomorrow generations will also meet the mess you're creating and supporting. And they shall curse this generation too.
