Though there is no morality in politics worldwide, but Osinbanjo as a pastor should have that morality to be discent enough not to go against his benefactor.
BUHARI was right on this.
Even his Bible should have taught him, what happened to ingrates.

SmartPolician:
You worked with a man for 8 years! How else are you supposed to know him?

Professor Osinbajo would've made an excellent president

I had hoped that after tales like Marilyn Ogar, Nigerians would have learnt there lesson, by sticking to their job roles and not disgracing themselves with oversabi.

Clearly the author of the book is not interested in his subject matter (which is Buhari) but more interested in seeking favour by attacking people he believes Tinubu dislikes.

Another Nigerian not worth anything more than a kiss ass eye serving wannabe.

Osinbajo was who I wanted to be president and I still believe he was the best choice.

However, I am enjoying how Tinubu is dealing with the men of "no value" that Buhari surrounded himself with that started behaving as Peacocks.

Once Tinubu leaves, it is the same way I fervently pray that those too who have "no value" in this regime (including this author it seems) are severely dealt with and publicly shamed.

I hope this cycle will continues until people get it into their thick skulls that power is transient and it is better to ignore an appointment if you know you have nothing to give a nation of more than 200m people.

To be frank, Buhari showed true camaraderie to Tinubu. How would you want to supplant your master and benefactor whereby the same man also happens to be a solid backing to Buhari's Presidency. Buhari's endorsing Osinbajo would have amounted to one of the darkest arts in human history.
But also, Buhari's body language at the time gave room for lots of tensed atmosphere, speculations and uncertainty especially in the Tinubu's camp, paving way for some of the candidates proclaiming themselves as the anointed candidates. It was not until Tinubu self- proclamation of " Emilokan" at Abeokuta, that was the turning point that scattered the table, dismantled the cabal and reset the arrangements.

That was when Buhari finally heard it loud and clear and Aisha had to come out to align with Tinubu. That singular pronouncement changed everything!.

-Kiss the truth!

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.

He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.

He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.

“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.

“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.”
Private sector to drive the economy

Were Tinubu and Buhari friends before Tinubu travelled to Daura to encourage Buhari out of retirement to come send his Southern brother, Jonathan out of power? Tinubu simply capitalised upon his popularity in the North and used that as a foothold to ascend to power. With 8 uninterrupted years of working closely together, I daresay that Buhari grew to know Osinbajo more than he knows Tinubu so he couldn't have said this.

TokoEkambi:
The Osinbajo that you all termed fake pastor when you realized he might have been whom Buhari would support? Lolz. Now because he is not contesting as a Yoruba man he is your favorite. You lot are very predictable.

oz4real83:
This is just story, I don't like Tinubu but if not for his political sagacity and connections, everything was almost going against him. Buhari didn't helped him and succumbed to the cabal.

Pootle:
spot on, those he help to power turned against him for reason best know to them. but tinubu is resilient and has a strong will in a long while his the first president without the cabals and even the people to become a president. i like his fighting spirit and his actions looks like someone who read the 48laws of power

PulaPower:
Tinubu did not traveled to Daura..

It was El-rufai that brought Buhari to the Bourdillon to meet Tinubu. Everything about Apc was seal at the bourdillon..

The picture is on nairaland. I’ll attach it for you to see when I find it..

PepeXKermit:
Only a fool would think that way.
And here’s why.

You don’t need to shake hands with a president to have access to power.
If you work in a company whose market capitalization exceeds your country’s GDP, and you speak with the CEO more than once
do you really think that puts one “in a pit”?

Power isn’t proximity to titles.
It’s proximity to influence.

You lie. Go listen to Tinubu's Emi Lokan speech in Abeokuta again. He said so himself. Buhari lost the 2011 elections, shed some tears and retired to his home. It was Tinubu who approached him to come get rid of his Southern brother. Still, assuming but not conceding that you are correct, can you now see how wrong Tinubu was for betraying Elrufai?

PulaPower:
You no sabi anithing

Wait for my attachment first..

Putindbutt:
Osinbajo messed up big time, how could he?. He overestimated himself and see at the end of the day, even Ameachi floored him to second place. Those he was banking on let him down.
It's just like PitaObi saying he wants to contest against Abacha... we all know Obi is Abacha's boy and Abacha made him who he is. So, Obi contesting against his benefactor would have been a very big insult to Abacha. Hopefully, Osinbajo has learnt from the experience to become better.

Stale. Buhari would never say that about Osinbajo. It is now known that this book, written by a Buhari critic, is a hatchet job to malign Buhari in death and promote some people. Little wonder Tinubu attended its lunch but failed to attend that of Garba Shehu. The piece by piece media attention the book is getting is also not a coincidence. It's being engineered by someone but it's dead on arrival.

kokoA:
True. Even Nigerians didn't know him from anywhere before he became vice president, but how can you have worked with a man for eight years and still claim not to know him?
