One thing I find amusing is the fact that most people overestimate the political wisdom of the average Nigerian voter irrespective of their tribe or zones. There is one language the average Nigerian understands and that is money and force . People will be shocked that these people they are underestimating their political popularity will actually pull large voters when it gets to election time

opes:
Tinubu doesn't need to win SE, but the influence and attention there is to stop what happened in 2023 to repeat itself in 2027.
You don't know anything about Oyo politics. Seyi makinde popularity is only in Ibadan city which has 11 local government, the remaining 22 local government are outside Ibadan, talking of Ogbomosho, oke Ogun and Ibarapa. 5 parties collapsed their structures for him in 2019 based on feud with Ajimobi. He contested for senate before, he didn't even win the primary.
APC abandoned their candidate, Teslim, in 2023 to support his re-election, based on the deal they had together. Let him win against Wike and Fayose first, then we can assess him political relevance

Seyi can't even win ibadan, stop wasting your time responding to political neophytes who are not even card carrying members of any party.

Its only in Nigeria that people can be talking about a person winning elections in an area he is not popular

Only in Nigeria

Can only win through rigging

The north is going to vote skirt and blouse.

I don't know what you mean but from all indications, the north will maintain status quo

cr7lomo:
I really pity these illiterates money miss road people... they really dont understand politics ... they will runaway from Nigeria if Tinubu looses ....they aren't considering Trumps plans .... to get money come be illiterate no good ...

It is YOU that don't understand NIGERIAN politics.
It is NOT by majority.
Tinubu will win even if he doesn't want to, even if he just wants to go home and rest!

SpatialKing:
The fact that Igbos business men are flooding into Tinubu’s campaign is already irritating some core Tinubu support groups in south west and the North.. Most of them feel betrayed already because Tinubu has not even compensated them...

Tinubu should stick to his 2023 winning formular and work with the grassroots people that ensured his victory in 2023..If not he will end up winning the South East votes and losing key south west and Northern votes...

Total nonsense. His base is totally in his pocket because they have no choice - they're not about to vote for PO

Tinubu's agberos told us the SE is insignificant in his calculations, yet Werey dey pass back funnel money to ex and current drug dealers and Yahoo boys in the nomenclature of one yeye city whatever.

The north is terribly angry with the president. And it cuts across party limes. Go and feel the pulse on the streets. APC govs me ght return, but they won't stick their necks for Tinubu against the pulse of the people. Likewise, all the clerics who supported him are giving him subtle digs. Let's wait and see just how many APC candidates will campaign with his image like they did with Buharis in the north.

tinubu isnt popular yet governors of kano , plateau taraba even zamfara nd atikus adamawa are dancing towards jagaban. WAKE'UP MY BRODA

don't be deceived , I have been in an election where some of these igbo big wigs that were given huge amount of money by Tinubu to help him gather votes in igboland were busy telling us to make sure we vote Peter Obi for president and vote for APC in the other ones

AMINDA:
According to Agbadorians, Obi Cubana, Zenco and Cubana Chiefpriest will deliver the Southeast to Tinubu but Seyi Makinde cannot deliver Ibadan to ADC. Tinubu's top-down approach instead of a bottom-up will cost him dearly in 2027. When shady characters and people with questionable wealth start pledging support to Tinubu in exchange for access and legitimacy of their ill-gotten possessions, it is not a flex. It's desperation. Anyways, you know what they say about birds of a feather.

Your analysis of Makinde is extremely wrong. Makinde cannot deliver Oyo State to Tinubu. Oyo State without Makinde is for Tinubu and APC is coming back to OYO State Government House. Makinde is valueless as far as 2027 is concerned.

Coming to those people, as I have always said, based on my experiences as a student in the University in South East several years ago it is a wastage of effort and wastage of money to rely on them. Seyi Tinubu is a young man who is inexperienced about the behavioral patterns and cultural orientation of Nigeria. He is naive and as a young man he is being carried away by Glamour and Fair Weather Friends. Seyi is naive and inexperienced. Those people can never vote for Tinubu. I remembered how SDP and not ABIOLA won Anambra by 51.5% against 48.5% in 1993 because of Anthony Anenih lobbying and pleading with Ezeife the then Governor of Anambra. Despite all the plea, Ojukwu refused. He said the Secretary is a man that serves his master Tea in the office. We were young, we never knew it was more than that. They made ABIOLA to lose Rivers State to Tofa. Going through various Social Media platforms you can see the bitterness and deep hatred these people harbour towards Tinubu and the YORUBAS. You can see the blackmailing, insult and assault. It is a wastage of effort expecting anything from the South East.

Bayo Onanuga, Dele Alake and madam (Oluremi Tinubu) should not expect anything good from that side (South East), I know what I am saying. When I was posting using my Personal Account (babaolofin) since year 2022 I prophesied that Senator Tinubu would win the 2023 election. In the heat of the campaign, I asked Baba Odumbaku to forget about all the issues with CCC Headquarters and meet Pastor EMF Oshoffa and Pastor Tosho to pray for Asiwaju at Imeko where Baba SBJ is buried.

I can authoritatively say Asiwaju would win 2027 election with wide margin. There is no any opposition, ADC is not an opposition. They want to create chaos and crisis, they are projecting election annulment and that is why they are sponsoring electronic transmission that cannot be 50% successful. They want to scuttle the democratic processes. We are looking at how they want to achieve that.

Finally, with my 6 years in the University in South East several years ago, I can authoritatively say Asiwaju can never win in South East, except by chance in EBONYI because of David Umahi and not because of Glamour Boys.

Asiwaju one more time 4+4=Jaganban

We are simply saying the same thing as far as Makinde is concerned. This also puts to bed all claims that having 36 governors will deliver Tinubu at the polls since the SW will prioritise their region. Other regions will largely do the same in 2027. Tinubu won the 2023 elections with 5.6m votes from the North. He only won 4 Southwestern states across the entire South and lost the South woefully to Obi. Tinubu cannot replicate his 2023 Northern votes, and it's foolhardy to claim he has replaced those votes with votes from the South when you have publicly admitted that he still won't win the Southeast. Historically, even the Southsouth has always largely mirrored the Southeast in terms of voting patterns. How then does Tinubu intend to win the election, even with rigging?

Trading can make you super rich if you are lucky to spot an evergreen product and have a genuine source.

And these guys started trading far back before the Advent of internet now spoiling commodity trading. Back then, traders determined the price and they made over 1000% profit on their products.

We are not saying the same thing but as usual, nairaland may ban me as usual to allow you confuse yourself and other ignorant people. Intelligently and clearly the blind and dumb knows we never said the same thing on the issue of Makinde.

Historically, two elections were never the same. It always get better and dynamically it shows before the election. I know Mallam Nasir El Rufai during ABACHA regime and I know Mallam Hakeem Baba Ahmed in 1998 when he was the Executive Secretary of INEC, that was when El Rufai was a member of Presidential Advisory Council to President (Gen Abubakar). Both Mallam Hakeem Baba Ahmed and Nasir El Rufai at this period would have known Tinubu would win. Atiku knows Tinubu would win. It is not a matter of Regional voting as it is done in South East because of vendetta. ABIOLA defeated TOFA in Kano. I can authoritatively tell you Tinubu would defeat Atiku in Kano, Jigawa, Katsina and Kaduna. In Adamawa, it may be 52 to 48 against Tinubu. I said this for a reason I know very well but with all due respect to Waziri Adamawa I will not say it online.

What happened in 2023 was a collective battle against Tinubu which began after 2019 election and after the removal of Oshiomole as Chairman and the death of Ajimobi. From 2020 to 2023 APC had no opposition, the only Political opposition in Nigeria was internal battle between Buhari Camp and Tinubu Camp. No opposition for 3 years just scheming against Tinubu supremacy and presidential ambition.

When Tambuwal sent OBI out of PDP to the street, Politically, OBI was nobody until OKUPE and Baba Ayo Adebanjo picked him up from Political gutter as Political Orphan and take his IBO Presidency as the battle of their lifetime which ultimately they both died for simultaneously. They gave him life Politically and took the case to OBASANJO and others that have scores to settle with Tinubu. The fact that they never witnessed the second year anniversary of Tinubu government shows that something happened in the Spirit realm.

After Buhari, the North has never accepted Atiku as their leader. Just like Shehu Yaradua defeated Falae by 90% in SDP primary in South West because Falae was not a replacement for Baba Awo or Abraham Adesanya or Baba Ajasin. The South South which you claimed follow IBO in electoral voting pattern is false. Bitterness of Jonathan loss made them voted the last time. During June12, 1993 ABIOLA lost Rivers because of Ikwerre but won EDO, Delta, AkwaIbom and Cross River.

This time around, Voting pattern in Rivers, Bayelsa, AkwaIbom, Cross River, Edo and Delta would be entirely different.

All the crying about electronic transmission of results which can never be 50% successful is to create chaos and crisis and to cause confusion which will lead to election annulment. The key players in Nigeria know that Tinubu would win. All the set-up of hooligans to disrupt ADC meetings by ADC is because they have nothing formidable on ground. They are confused. They want to create confusion and crisis as a coverup.

Your last paragraph is what I'm most interested in since time will take care of the rest. You claimed ADC are sending thugs to disrupt their own gatherings and that's just disingenuous. Aside from that, would you say the simultaneous crisis in LP and PDP does not have Tinubu's hand in it? Why is he afraid of a fair contest? Okowa was VP candidate and a sitting governor in 2023, why couldn't he deliver Delta state? Aren't you being bias by thinking only Seyi Makinde will fail to deliver his state while all other governors will deliver Tinubu in their states? The South wouldn't just cower to Tinubu and vote him simply because he undemocratically disenfranchised their preferred candidate from the race. The best outcome Tinubu can hope for is to have voter apathy. Very few who didn't vote for him in 2023 will queue up to do so in 2027.

We can feel the pulse. It's barely a year to the election and Tinubu is still not loved in the South. Forget the defecting governors. APC had 21 governors in 2023 and Tinubu only won in 12 states. Nearly half of those 12 states were not APC-governed states. He's already panicking and going after Elrufai which is a strategic mistake as far as the North is concerned.

You have said nothing. I was banned by nairaland as usual to prevent immediate response. They ban intellectual input to allow uncensored low profile content. I am sure at 4 a.m they can delete my reply again. You are using states controlled by APC in 2023 as a condition for voting in 2023. Every intelligent person knows that APC was balkanized before election. Votes for Tinubu in 2023 was not based on Party controlled by APC. In Rivers, Amaechi used APC machinery for Atiku. In South West, Osinbajo, Aregbesola, Fayemi, Ojudu and others with followers never supported Tinubu. In the North, It was a battle of conviction. El - Rufai single handedly fought for Tinubu. Baba Tanko Yakassai and other bridges Tinubu built also tried. The votes were never because of APC. After the death of BUHARI, during the Burial, the Northern Emirs and elders must have realized and noticed something.

In 2023, Adamu the APC Chairman was against Tinubu. Sure Lamido, an elder Statesman said BUHARI never wanted Tinubu but Lawan. He said Tinubu fought his way to Presidency. The cashless policy and Naira redenomination that brought hardship were to frustrate Tinubu and give Atiku edge. Highly exposed people know in 2023 it wasn't about States controlled by APC because Nigeria had no opposition party since Year 2020. The only opposition in Nigeria was APC BUHARI and Tinubu camp. Tinubu is a warrior. He fought OBASANJO to remain the One man Standing as Governor. He fought his way to Presidency.

ABIOLA votes were never because of State Governors but on conviction.

All the cry about electronic transmission of results is just to create confusion and chaos so as to call for cancellation of election. If I post the reason electoral transmission can never be 50% successful as even in US, it has never been 60% successful, nairaland will delete this post and ban me.

Is it not the same way Gej was receiving endorsements, and in the end, what happened? Like I told you, let's see how many candidates in the APC that will campaign with Tinubus image on their posters. How many votes can rarara generate for Tinubu? To add salt to injury, he's thinking of setting up a military base in the north. You and I know how that would reverberate in the Muslim north and what it portends.

franchasofficia:
Obi Cubana and Cubana Chief Priest are not illiterates, they graduated from the university before venturing into businesses.

I don't know much about Zenco.


Quit seeing successful Igbo businessmen as illiterates, that is very poor and obnoxious assumption.

I am an Igbo business man, a small company owner with sizeable investments in some states and I am a graduate, a masters degree holder and a PhD in view student that also tried to study law but if you see me in real life, you will think I didn't even finish Primary school because I don't form educated in public.


When I was fully in Lagos, most of my Church members who are mostly Yorubas always thought I didn't go to school but funny enough, I am more educated than even our Zonal Pastor and others on a low key but because I am Igbo and not working with government or working in a Bank or for one company, they always assume that maybe I didn't go to school.


And same applies to several Igbo business owners you see in the markets; most are graduates, that was why Nigerian media and Yoruba controlled government of today were shocked that a screw driver seller in Onitsha Main Market influenced US government to classify Nigeria as a country of particular concern, they will be shocked to discover that that screw driver seller is a PhD holder, thats how we Igbos of our time roll.



Now back to the topic, Tinubu is wasting his time buying up rich Igbo people to promote him in Southeast. Igbos are very Republican in nature, we believe and follow our individual conviction as individuals and therefore we judge candidates based on their performance and how good and humane they are to the people. All that Tinubu needed to win Igbos without any celebrity or political figure is to be kind, be humane, stop being tribalistic and divisive with his policies and stop pushing Lagos state government to continue to churn out anti-Igbo policies in a desperate effort to clamp down on Igbos and reduce their influence in Lagos.

Exactly! I support most Tinubu's economic policies, but I cannot fully support him since he's the leader of the party, especially in Lagos, that promotes anti-Igbo rhetoric.

Whenever I watch Igbo elites hobnobbing with Lagos elites, I wonder if they don't voice out concerns regarding the Lagos APC anti-Igbo rhetoric.

You see that SW president turned yoruba president will never see 10k votes in SE.
You think we the igbos are stupid abi
We will vote him for sentencing Kanu to president to pls his people. Or we will vote him for bringing down igbos properties down in lagos. Did we vote him in 2023 that we will vote him now.This his drug boys can not even tell anyone in SE to vote him

You are missing the points. No emir or or foremost northern leader ever endorsed Gej. Right from the get go, it was Sai buhari. No northern emir has ever endorsed any candidate. Kano governor will not defect if Tinubu isn't sellable.Even in 2011, buhari rubbished Gej in the north. Tinubu on the other hand humiliated Atiku in the north, there's no way Atiku can make a headway. APC has too many gladiators in the north to get Tinubu across the line while Atiku lacks same down south.Even if Atiku wins core north, he will lose north central and the entire South. He has no pathway.

So your ward alone is enough to grant Tinubu 25% in your state?

I’m telling you that what you’re doing online will clear your eyes in reality if especially in Abia state.

Igbos are not the only tribe east of the naija ..they might be the largest tribe in the old eastern region but everyother tribe there alzo matters..( If e no reach me but e reach my junior brother i go follow enjoy am)... Thier anger is misdirected, who made this disaster president ? It was the north, now they want him out... As what exactly , masters and others slave... They have an option of choosing another southerner , not a northerner for now.. VP position is s**t in the scheme of things

Svoboda:
Ask yourself what is southern presidency? It's a pertinent question. If it's southern solidarity era, then Tinubu should step down for Obi to complete the souths tenure. After all, in 27 years the southwest has had someone in asorock either as principal or as vice, a combined 19 years. So, the Igbos aren't good enough for southern solidarity or what? Personally, I'd rather Obi is sworn in as vice in 2027 than for the southwest to have potentially spent 24 years strutting the corridors of power.
