This is completely true.

Nigeria isn't a Northern state. Nigeria belongs to all of us.

Pls pls pls!!!

Atiku is exempted.... You don't want him to break Guinness world record for most presidential election contestant at least if him no see 9ja rule, him fit use the record award hold body.

The truth is that if Atiku steps down for Obi, Tinubu will just catwalk back to office in 2027. This is not 2023, Peter Obi is very easy to beat now.

Toh

Can Atiku break the record of Raila in Africa?

Gbam!!! Exactly what I have stated a million times on this forum. If a Northerner can show the honour and uprightness to make this declaration in support of "one good turn deserves another" equity towards the South , what must we say of Kenneth Okonkwo and our own fellow Nairalanders like Aminda, Odin13 etal , from the South, supporting the dishonorable attemtp of Arewa to regain power through Atiku?

It is 100% the bonafide turn of the South, courtesy of a crucial power rotation agreement all stakeholders signed up for because such preserved the peace and pretend unity of a very divided nation meaning anyone looking to truncate it is a very callous human being with no thoughs for damage dumping of this almost sacrosant agreement can do to Nigeria.

It is even more important, especially when the South was the personification of honour when they perfectly supported the North to complete her 8 years in power, that North honourable reciprocate.

The South is never a slave to the North. If fact, today, it is the North, because of damage she has done to herself, that will be horrendously stranded if the South she has always taken for granted walks away from the Nigerian union.

Noooooo,Atiku must get the ADC ticket and contest

So? Are you saying you want a Fulani in power as long as such denies PBAT a second term?

If Obi was not such a wicked and irredeemable anti-Yoruba bigot, woukd it kill him to join Tinubu moving Nigeria forward as some of the brightess and most succesful Igbos, in politics and business, are doing today? Must he be President to be a change agent?

Obi is just all shades of wrong right from when he stood gidigba behind Abacha merely because of personal gains without a thought for what is best for Nigeria and even his generations unborn.

Precisely. There is also the greater issue of how the North is a law unto herself and a region that decides her terms of engagement with Nigeria.

That must stop because such is outright wrong and something no Southerner should accept even if they hate Tibubu more than the devil.

The North got Sharia in a secular nation. Thye have now virtually crippled Nigeria with terrorism.

To make matters worse, They blackmailed all other Nigerians to accept amnesty and "rehabilitation" for terrorist many nations globally insist, as a fundamental issue of self-preservation, are never to be negotiated with.

Some Northerners now want to renege on a power rotation agreement that their misbehaviour and disregard for the South (truncation of Abiola's Presidential mandate) necessitated the creation of in hope we would never again see the deadly and machiavellian moves the North made for several decades to ensure power is never with a Southerner.

Now they wish to take us back to those dark days whereas, in my opinion, such would destroy Nigerians beyond redemption.

The Southerners backing Atiku are just wicked and irresponsible bigots who do not see that hatred of a Yoruba President is making them support their own traditional Nigerian slavemasters.

Like Fintiri stated correctly "no Northerner Has Any Business Aspiring To Be In Power Until 2031". Northerner doing that are enemies of Nigeria along with their Southern supporters.

Atiku Abubakar thrown in the mud and dragged like a village thief by his blood brothers

Yes, he has destroyed the goodwill he enjoyed among the people because of his unintelligent initiative.

The North are selfish if a Northerner contest in 2027 a southerner will contest too in 2031

Even if under APC, people are being killed like chickens. Has anything improved under Tinubu. Every Nigerian has right to be voted for, even drug dealers and killers.

At this point in our national life, Nigerians are not interested in which region should be in power. Rather, they are resolute in ensuring that Tinubu does not spend a single minute or second beyond May 28, 2027. Another four years of the Tinubu regime is unimaginable and frightening

This is yet to be put in the constitution and it therefore holds no water in reality as Atiku almost won the last election despite that Buhari just finished

Peter should stop campaigning here. He will lose on every side.

What about the opinion of those emergency Nigerians who suddenly develop acute patriotism, right after taking instructions from somewhere abroad, and then proceed to hide under their beds in strict obedience?

Those ones insist that if their neatly packaged fraud doesn’t clinch the presidency, then, it is perfectly fine for a Fulani man to take the seat instead, because they hope fulani can save them.

Even in a discussion about Fintri’s claim that no Northerner should aspire to power until 2031, you still manage to display staggering hypocrisy, bîgótry, and resentment toward people whose only “offense” is aspiring to lead Nigeria.

This is completely unreasonable.

It was always predictable. I have told many Southern fan boys and worshippers of the North on Nairaland that the North does not only consist of leaders alive to kowtow to the ambition, will and desires of Atiku, El Rufai, Malami etal.

Many Northerners leaders are honourable men who know what Tinubu did to make Buhari President, after three Previous attempt, and get the North back in power when GEJ wanted to spend all Nigeria's money to gain 9 years in Aso Rock.

Those type of Northerners, though not vocal like Malami, El Rufai, Ndume ,Sule Lamido etal, are not dishonorable men who will support treachery that will destroy Nigeria for good and give the North an irrevocable reputation of being untrustworthy.

NEIDA OBI NOR ATIKU CAN STOP TINUBU.. OBI IS ONLY SABOTAGING D OPPURTUNITY OF A SOUTHEAST MAN BEING VICE OR PRESIDENT AFTER 2031..LIKE IT OR NOT GODWILLING TINUBU WLD DETERMINE 2031 MAKING ENEMY WITH HIM ISN'T A GOOD IDEA..

Speak for yourself. When have you even tried educating yourself to note what Tinubu is doing experts globally praise him for as the way forwards to a new and developed Nigeria?

Look at where Singapore is today. Did it take Lee Kuan Yew and co 4 years to achieve the stunning turnaround of the nation or decades that involved punitive reforms and sacrifice from leaders and followers alike?

Do you know how many soldiers died, how many people killed and kidnapped this few weeks, and nothing is said by the president. An nysc member being beaten by terrorist nothing being done to rescue him.

May nigeria happen to your family.

Security is a very complex issue. You deliberately choose to use that to demarkwt Tinubu, because of youe own ulterior motives and the fact you have not much else to use.

I am sure, as an example, you have never praised spectacular and life-changing initiatives Tinubu has delivered that we have never seen before such as Government-backed MREIF 20 years tenure mortgage scheme with single digit interest rate at 9.75% and 100 million to be disbursed with only 10% equity deposit.

Whereas nothing of the sort before Tinubu with only pathetic garbage loan schemes, usually only available through property developers, of 2 years tenure lending at over 30% meaning 95% of Nigerians will never own their own home under such a greed-driven system many President endured with.

Those are the sort of initiatives, as well as many others Tinubu has been delivering, that will aid Nigeria's development immensely.

If you are a decent, progressive and godly person why do you never mention the many good Tinubu is doing the world is praising him for today?
