You haven’t been giving the right amount

Ofunaofu:
Exactly. Defections driven by patronage don’t equal popular support. Even in 2023, despite APC having 25 governors, Tinubu won only 12 states. That alone shows governors don’t deliver votes.

With widespread public knowledge that defecting governors are being enticed with figures like N250 billion, this strategy only breeds resentment within the party. You can buy defections, but you can’t buy the electorate

4 governors is 1 trillion
That money will build 2 big standard hospitals one in the North and one in the south

Anyway to oust Tinubu from power is welcome . The poverty is too much.

Mr Kwankwaso,
Stop 🛑 all this your divisive method of politics,for you have nothing to Offer Nigerians.
You were a Governor,yet nothing to show Nigerians in your Kano State,
You became a Minister of Defense,yet Bokoham Terrorists,Bandits and Kidnappers were everywhere during your time.
So,if you performed,why don't you destroy the Bokoham that are now even in your Kano environments?
It's disgusting seeing many of you Politicians that Could Not Make Any Impact when you Were In Government then,As FORMER' POLITICIAN!

He is playing hard ball ! All the president need is the governor and his entourage plus ganduje then Kano is a goal and he has gotten that. The only thing now is the president is an honourable man that values and upholds loyalty that is the only reason kwankwaso is still in this conversation and I really think he is demanding too much and jagaban is not giving in to all his demands reason why he switches on and off everytime. He will be the biggest loser because the president already has all it takes to get the numbers in Kano.

OredoPikin2:
So u support the squandering of our common resources by Tinubu?

No Sir, I'm not supporting any politician because most actions of politicians are driven by personal interests unfortunately, they always say the opposite to hoodwink the populace to support them.
If politicians really care about the emancipation of ordinary Nigerians as mentioned by this politician, Nigeria will not be like this today

Stephen0mozzy:
Good for you Sir. I hope after the many dances you actually stay true to this claim.

We don't hold our political leaders players to any standards at all, that's why they jump around every political season like mosquitoes.

Imagine a Republican becoming a Democrat and back to being Republican and then a Democrat then a Republican again within 4 election cycle.

The last 3 presidential election has met him in 3 different political parties. He was in APC in 2015, PDP in 2019 and NNPP in 2023.

We are not talking about other politicians but Tinubu
We the people are the problem not the leaders. An average human being is possessed with greed and if u leave them, they will use it to the maximum.
God or Angels are not coming to fix Nigeria, the leaders will not fix Nigeria as long as we the people who are over 90% of the population allow them do whatever they like and get away with it.
They even buy over some of us to defend and support their greed and evil.
So until Nigerians wake up, come together regardless of tribe and religion and fight for their country by holding leaders accountable, none of them will have the will on their own to do the right thing.

100% we the masses are responsible for the mess we are in now and i dont see any change anytime soon

Olatundex22:
You can’t give what others give and you lied on your speech .
This is why all the governor is joining APC, APC Governors control their state party structures be you godfather in the state will be under him. He can only have respect for you as senior leader and if he didn’t nothing dey happen.
NOBODY will be the state governor with full immunity and people working under him will not respect him because one godfather put him there, godfather will be putting people in positions, control them because he gives them power and the governor will be paying no single respect for the governor who does that

All this buy buy talk is a big fat lie, you can only know if you’re inside. Tinubu is giving what other greedy party leader never give that’s why governor who needs to act like real Governor is joining him.

The problem with myopic people like you who can't see beyond their nose is that you assume others are as myopic as you are.

If everything you typed above is true, then ask yourself why does GAC exist in Lagos? If an APC governor is truly the party leader in his state? Why did Sanwo-Olu and the house impeach Obasa only for Tinubu to reverse it?

In Ogun state where APC is the ruling party, who is the leader of the party in the state? I'm sure dear wouldn't allow you say GOVERNOR DAPO.

You political jobbers should get a life! Political sycophancy and praise singing isn't a job. If you're justifying evil because of 30K monthly payment, I hope you remember your parents and relatives who will bear the brunt?

AMINDA:
Tell Tinubu to use his money and go buy another V.P candidate na. Don't confuse having an ambition as being available for sale. Tinubu wanted to Vice Buhari in 2015 but for muslim-muslim considerations. Does it mean Tinubu was for sale?

This guy....
Was Tinubu defecting from another party in 2015? You no dey think before posting?

Kwankwaso is just overestimating himself. All your political influence is just within Kano and you're behaving as if he has entire NorthWest for him.

He is terrible bad negotiator, with Peter Obi you couldn't strike any tangible deal in last election, with rulling party you still can't just cho cho. Soon you will ultimately render useless politically.

Is defection a crime?
And why is Tinubu dragging him to defect to APC

Did Tinubu not have all what you mentioned above plus power of incumbency when he lost Kano in 2023? It can even be argued that Kwankwaso was sympathetic to Tinubu and did him a favour by running as a third force. Tinubu will only have himself to blame if he tries to cross Kwankwaso. The opposition will be the biggest beneficiary.

That's my point. All the parties have the same ideological identity.

"

And ye shall fulfil your personal ambition to grab power. F**ck the people. F***ck accountability and the Rule of Law

They have no unique perspective about governance, about foreign policy, about economic strategies. So, irrespective of their acronyms, it's all just Tomatoe, Tomahto.

THIS ONE DON FALL FOR TINUBU'S 2027 STRATEGY OF PROMISED AND DISAPPOINTED and USED AND DUMPED.

AMINDA:
At this point, even Agbadorians can no longer deny that their tin-god is offering money to governors to decamp to their party. As well as the prospect of neutralising their opposition in the APC by becoming the automatic candidate. It may appear too good a deal to pass up on by the governors but it has its risks. There will be too many aggrieved politicians in the ruling party whose ambitions have been scuttled in favour of the president's own ambition. It may also not translate to votes for the president come 2027. Despite APC having 25 governors in 2023, Tinubu won only 12 states, and only half of those states were APC-governed states.

Every man has his price , even Satan offered jesus the whole world, even you if I reason your matter too much i will send Apc to negotiate with you an offer you can't resist my good friend 😁😁😁😁

Like I said you can only know when you’re inside so people like you are just chess on the board so you’re doing exactly what you’re meant to do keep it up.
To be honest I don’t talk much with kids on social media who think having access to the faceless forum means to insult their parents. I blocked people like that take note 📝

If you want to talk to the agulu mourner, talk to him directly and stop passing through the corners😭😂

OredoPikin2:

That money will build 2 big standard hospitals one in the North and one in the south

But that’s clearly not Tinubu's priority. Tinubu has no incentive to fix Nigeria’s healthcare system when he comfortably accesses medical care in the UK and France. While Nigerians die in underfunded hospitals, public funds are being used to buy political loyalty instead of saving lives.

Unlike you, I don't call people who are better than me names... Just to avoid actually having an intelligent conversations about what matters most.

Tinibu believes he can buy anybody with his dirty money good to see politicians with dignity like Kwankwaso refusing to be bought like others with low self esteem.

Always bringing different issues.
Were you there when the money was given?
Why did Obi run? Maybe ADC gave him money.
Are you not aware that in 2023 even APC worked against Tinubu?

All your calculations using 2023 as template (including Obi's 2023 bragging right) are irrelevant because 2027 is entirely different. New formations and there is a boost on 2023 strength for the man at the center.

Where is the boost? Among the voting electorates or the money-induced governors? I just told you what to expect if you are hoping on the governors to deliver Tinubu in 2027. Even Sanwo-olu failed to do so but won his own re-election under the APC effortlessly. Not every governor will be willing to kill their own citizens just to deliver their states to Tinubu as it happened in Rivers. Tinubu is more unpopular now on the streets than he was in 2023.

Wrong. 9 (75%) were APC controlled.

You're interpreting the data wrongly. Below are the APC states that couldn't deliver Tinubu even though the APC won the gubernatorial elections in them effortlessly.

Kaduna
Katsina
Kebbi
Yobe
Gombe
Lagos (Tinubu’s home state and political base)
Nasarawa
Plateau
Ebonyi
Imo

Why then are Agbadorians celebrating defections? Tinubu is more unpopular today among the electorates than he was in 2023 when he was untested and had benefit of doubt.

See...eeh I'm not an APC or Tinubu supporter but I openly support his policies. 2027 will be his easiest election. In 2023
His president worked against him.
His party worked against him.
The performance of then president worked against him.
Someone that has no performance record rode on the frustration of the youths and ordinary people.

In 2027 we will ask the opposition clear questions and they must tell us what they will do differently and not China, Egypt, Malaysia etc.

Will they bring back the multiple exchange rates and subsidize the naira?
Will they bring back fuel subsidy?
Will they cancel the tax reforms?
Will they cancel NELFUND?
Will they merge ministry of petroleum resources and gas resources as it was before?
Will they stop the efforts to upgrade our infrastructure because Obi said that provision of infrastructure doesn't grow an economy.
Etc etc.
They must never accept to use any of the products of the reforms because they condemned all.

Only when we look at their alternatives that we will agree to support them. The man that they want to unseat had his clear program from day one and he is pursuing it with a single mind even at the risk of his popularity.

richiemcgold:
Oga pls no dey whine us; every Nigerian politician has a price.

I'm not for sale, yen, yen, yen. But you have made proposals which unfortunately were not accepted by the president?

Is there anyone in this life wey no get price. Even Elon

VEE2010:
Funny how some politicians overrate themselves. "Your aim is for the emancipation of ordinary Nigerian" You were governor for 8 years, minister, Senator...
Where is the emancipation of ordinary Nigerian? Looking at the economic conditions of ordinary Nigerians in Kano...

The average Kano person cannot communicate in basic English.
