Fighting for his stomach infrastructure..and not for the interest of Nigerians

How are YOU fighting for the interests of Nigerians, such that you expect politicians who emerge from among us, to also fight for the interests of Nigerians

El rufai has had his own career and life.

He is not dumb to act out what he is thinking. Any smart person will give anything to have an ear in his enemies camp. This is the scenerio playing out here.
El rufai must have actually instructed his son to remain in APC.

Mohammed Bello is himself a super smart and strategic young man. Only fools act impulsively under the foolish guise of being honest.

The world eats the honest for breakfast and sips their blood for lunch.

It is their family's best interest to remain relevant and within circles of power.

Nawaaooo..so Nigeria politicians are fighting for their belle 🙄

Jayhome24:
I told those losers to look at the game more deeper and rest they said no.

Atiku son with Tinubu
Obj daughter with Tinubu
David Mark daughter with Tinubu
El Rufai son with Tinubu in apc
Aregbe son still in apc with Tinubu

Our next plan is obi wife or one of his sibling and we are already on it the shocking news is loading the whole Internet go tear that day it will happen soon keep watching...

Let's face it. Even as we knows haters will remain too bitter to agree, Asiwaju is an institution as a political leader.

He has done far more superlative and reformational things consistently (like build and define winning political platform other leaders use) than any Nigerian politician active after 1999.

It is logical his consistent success as a politician and public administrator (highly lauded "Road Map" Governor of Lagos) will inspire followership confidence in young politicians who want to be mentored by the best so they too can have good careers/successes in politics.

If Nigerians know how many succesful political leaders Tinubu has mentored and defined then they would understand why young, up and coming politicians would prefer aligning with Tinubu.

It's a simple case of follow man wey know road, as far as politics is concerned, and not your father that will get you lost.

What mentoring, for example, can self-centred, unprincipled and party-hopping politicians like Atiku and Obi provide for young political leaders? How to have joined and left 30 political parties before age 30?

They want to chop from all parties, some saraki family members will be in PDP while others will be in APC, some Atikus will be in APC, others in PDP, Some El-rufias in APC, while others in PDP, some Igbinedions in APC, others in PDP, they share themselves all over the major parties so that they will keep benefiting from all sides, no matter who wins😏

This is where the gullible ones on the platform are regarded as fools.

AMINDA:
Tinubu does not own the APC even though he has tried, since assuming power, to scheme out other blocs that came together to form the party while personalising the party and turning it to ACN pro max. His influence on the party will wane once he's voted out in 2027 and all those singing the mandate song today will turn against him and drag him through the mud, headed by Wike. PDP produced at least 3 presidents. What was their influence on the party after leaving power? Tinubu's lackeys will come with a lot of clichés on Jagaban this and Jagaban that but time is a gentleman.

I know deep down that you may not hate Asiwaju as much as you portray here. Rather, you are disappointed by the way he treated Malam El-Rufai. (Mind you, you are not alone in this feeling, some of us, even the most ardent followers of Asiwaju, were equally unhappy, but what could we have done?) However, some of your outbursts and vituperation directed at the President on this platform are needless. I do not know your relationship with Malam, perhaps you are his son, perhaps not, but here is Malam’s most prominent son openly endorsing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Reflect on this for a moment. Do you not think that Asiwaju and Malam could reconcile ahead of the 2027 elections? Consider this carefully, because in Nigerian politics, impossibility is nothing.

That guy is always speaking monotonously out of turn, on every issue to do with Tinubu, because he is simply too emotional, bigotedly prejudiced and clannish for his own good.

I'd like to see a single commendation he has given Tinubu here, if such exists, yet he is solidly behind Atiku that all rational and critical-thinking Nigerians can never support to lead Nigeria when he has a history of residing in Dubai, as a Nigerian political leaders, by choice that is never to be found in the trenches with those he wishes to lead in Nigeria.

He then appear every election year demanding the keys to Aso Rock. Who does that and, most importantly, who supports or vote for such a character aside those lacking exposure, political sophistication and ability to think logically/critically?

We should ask ourselves where Atiku's actions, disdainful of Nigeria and Nigerians, would be condoned in the World.

Even Ghanaians and other African nations we love thinking we are superior to cannot vote for a character who sojourns abroad and is never domiciled where he wants to lead.

This anomaly, favouring Atiku, exist in Nigeria because of ethno-religious prejudice that does not allow Nigerians to become politically sophisticated and evolved enough to note what is obvious others can worldwide.

No passionate supporter of Atiku, who has effectively done zero for Nigeria or any Nigerian since leaving office as VP in 2007, is fit or justified to be here in condemnation of Tinubu daily, like that Aminda chap does, unless they completely lack principles, integrity, uprightness and shame.

Was Stalin an irresponsible father because his daughter defected to America

How will societies ever evolve if children have to follow their parents’ vision, for the parents to be considered as responsible?

Yes ,Stalin was an irresponsible father ,Stalin was considered as one of the most evil men that ever exist .

TrainPark:

Children should be strategoc and know that not all battles need to be won for the war to be won.

All battles must be fought when it comes to family , that's what family leadership and pride is all about .

If a child doesn't want to fight for his family ,then one of several things is wrong which includes bad leadership.

He that can not be trusted in little things can not be trusted in bigger things .

WizardOfNG:
Anonimi, who I seldom agree with, is right indicating you have dictatorial tendencies and would likely be a throwback parent. The sort intelligent and independent-minded adult children would resent.

This is obvious because you are twisting what is simple with rhetoric to suit your outlook.

"Personal conviction in one's vision" you use for example, in the context of this argument, is garbage. It should be replaced with political outlook, leaning or ideology.

Your grown children have no obligation to follow your leadership political outlook, leaning or ideology if they decide to seek a career in politics.

Tinubu believes growth and development of societies shoild be driven by innovation and private sector-led free market economies all anchored on decentralised democracies.

If I am socialist/welfarist in thinking and subscribes to government interventions always, via subsidies etal, plus government control, I.e ownership/running of processes and entities private sector is better suited to run/define, then why should my independent-minded adult children be obligated to follow my belief and automatically align with me instead of Asiwaju?

Whereas, for any clear-minded adult, the choice should automatically and simply be a question of whose political outlook, leaning or ideology they believe in as young and budding politicians.

Lack of deep understanding leads one to erroneous conclusion.

I will make simple analogy so that you will understand(from the simplest). We all know that people(which includes ones children) want the best position/outlook/outcome , therefore,people make decisions based on these criteria .

Firstly, in a family , the father (leadership) "must" teach his children certain values ,which includes contentment ,family loyalty & pride .

We all know that fingers are not equal ,if a father is only able to provide rice and ponmo for his children,they should eat it with joy without comparison with the neighbour that could afford rice and turkey for his children.

A contented child will happily eat what his father provide without complaining.

A loyal and proud child will not go to the neighbour to eat turkey because his father couldn't afford it .

A father (leadership) should be able to convince his children why eating rice and ponmo now doesn't make them inferior and also lead his children out of poverty ,a father that failed in communication and chartering is an irresponsible father .

You spoke about some qualities of BAT which made the son to follow him instead of the father because the son has freewill/independence.

I don't know if you're a father or not ,or you have one ,but if a son doesn't see his father as his first role model ,then I will tell you now in plain terms,that father is an irresponsible and a failed father ! If you're a father , I'm sure you will not be happy if you take a step in one direction but your son took the step in another direction especially the step of your "enemy" .

The friend of my enemy is my enemy .

How does this analogy relate to the japa syndrome of people praying and fasting for visas to help develop other countries to the detriment of their own fatherland?

Voluntarily accepting to slave away in other countries, unlike the ones we forced there over 400 years, in exchange for alcohol, cigarettes, fabrics, firearms, mirrors etc

How does this make us responsible parents collectively?

anonimi:
The often cited biography titled Madame Tinubu: Merchant and King-maker, authored by Nigerian historian Oladipo Yemitan, paints her views regarding slave trading.

On one occasion, during her final sojourn in Abeokuta, she was alleged to have sold a young boy into slavery and was accused of it. When arraigned before Ogundipe Alatise over the matter, she reportedly explained: 'I have a large house-hold and I must feed them well. I need money to do that, that's why'.

— Oladipo. Yemitan, 'Madame Tinubu: Merchant and King-maker'

Another section of Yemitan's Tinubu biography, referred to as the Amadie-Ojo Affair, captures a slave trading deal gone sour in 1853 (notably after the 1852 Treaty abolishing slavery in Lagos) wherein Tinubu tells another slave trader (Domingo Martinez) that "she would rather drown the slaves [20 in number] than sell them at a discount".

It's the irresponsibility of "our" forefathers that made today's children to Japa,if they had built a beautiful and great country ,no one likes to slave in another man's house .

Elrufai is playing politics with the noobs

Atiku claiming to be against this government but his son has shown commitment to president Tinubu's reelection

Elrufai has been speaking like a parrot lately yet his son is becoming relevant in Apc

Obasanjo has been against the presidency of president Tinubu yet Iyabo Ojo just joined Apc a week ago

The pattern is glaring, they are not putting all their eggs in one basket. If this did not work, others should

But in the case of sons and daughters of nobody who called themselves the supporters, those are the people they have been insulting/attacking others for . They have no consideration for future sharing same interest. That's why they are noobs in politics

You have spoken well
But what about you? Are you not describing yourself in that last paragraph?
