Thats because there were only two people running for President, and both were Yoruba

Do you think Yoruba's would have voted Tinubu if Tinubu and Osibanjo were the only two people running for President?
Who did Yoruba delegates vote for during the primary election of APC?

They voted Tinubu. Who's osinbajo in the electoral value and permutations in the south west?

Bcoz aregbe and femi ojudu deceived him that he could defeat Tinubu?

Osinbajo stand no chances against Tinubu any day. Tinubu is his father in politics. Can you see aregbe dancing skelewu across Osun markets? He doesn't know that the train has left him at the bus stop. Does Tinubu has his time? Not at all.

That year when we all had hope of OBJ prison to palace. Turned out as the sanctimonious leopard that couldn't change his spots. God gave him the biggest opportunity on all sides and he failed Nigeria.
We were on same level with UAE at this point if not ahead.
He flopped that opportunity.

even the port Harcourt wey tinubu win no shock u? E win am with higher margin even akwa ibom wey atiku win no shock u? As for Lagos I can say they have lot of Igbos so is possible imagine handling both akwa ibom and rivers to the original winner u feel aay tinubu go smell aso rock?
so it's only when your fraud wins that elections results weren't tempered with?

Nobody send your tears

Not true, people believe that Obasanjo been the former military president will fix Nigeria
And he delivered ✅

I think this election was conducted then by Abel Guobadia
Re: Check Out 1999 Presidential Results by revelation2013(m): 12:29pm On Mar 14
I remember this election. Was in Secondary School then. Obasanjo used prison to palace fallacy to win people's heart. Obasanjo dealt with us in southwest after he won. He didn't do anything to develop the southwest. Instead he developed the north and south east. He has forgotten that he's coming back to his base.

osinbajo is too small to compare to tinubu.

Osinbajo is a product of tinubu brilliance n good administration.

One, political hierarchy osinbajo is small

Two, administratively he's small

In virtually everything, osinbajo is small.

U lots just want osinbajo because u want who u can defeat easily cos u know tinubu will always win u anyday anytime.


Funny enough u lots now suddenly love who u call fake pastor n mere commissioner

Why is tinubu 20years younger than great Olusegun Obasanjo then
This people are very funny 🤣

Those were the days of Free and Fair elections...

Just like the June 12 Presidential election...

What we have today is a sham and electoral somersault often called elections...

Where you see results from Imo appearing in Jigawa....

Where Wike and his foot soldiers will rewrite and manipulate election results and boldly tell you to go to court if you don't like what you see...
Free and fair ke? Ask people with direct knowledge. Rigging started from PDP primary in Jos.

The military and north had decided that the presidency should go to the West to pacify them for all that happened with June 12 1993. The main figures were OBJ and Falea. Falae was a technocrat and a typical awoist. The north and military saw OBJ as a lesser evil and everything was done to make him president. They rigged Ekwueme out in the Jos convention.

The GenZ will be wondering where all these figures are now...and many will be saying "voter apathy"..

Don't let anyone deceive you with those words....it's not voter apathy....those were dark ages of electoral malpractices of the highest level...laced with massive thumb printing...ballot box stuffing, elections results writing, accompanied with loads of electoral mayhem and massacre. Dark Days!

No one will witness those days and not agree that our electioneering process has improved.

The introduction of PVC and card reader was the game changer.

Voter aparthy is now so bad that only 7% of registered voters came out to vote in the last offseason elections in FCT, Rivers and Kano states.
This is why most Igbos preferred Abacha to the Taqiyya sold to Nigerians by Tinubu led NADECO democracy activists who are currently ruling the country and messed up the democracy they claim to have fought for.
It wasnt really high voter turnout but high level of results writing.
Re: Check Out 1999 Presidential Results by Hemanwel(m): 12:35pm On Mar 14
Obasanjo won in 27 States + FCT out of 36 States

Because they knew he wasn't a democrat and not an heir to the Abiola '93 win they were fighting/struggling for. The AD guys were like a continuation of the SDP/Abiola loyalists. OBJ was seen as military set, no different from the IBBs and Abachas and Buharis then. Took a while to convince majority of the South West to 'forgive' or connect with any of them. The SW resisted and suffered from military the most. From Awolowo to Fela to Abiola and the NADECO guys.
You really captured it. Not only that South west see Falae as compensation for the annulled June 12, 1993 presidential election, they also see someone who will return the south west and Nigeria in general to the path of egalitarian society south west was known for brought about by Pa Awolowo and many of his followers.

OBJ was a political reject from his people because he rigged the 1979 election in favour of Shagari. He was constantly mocked that he had no political base. In 2003 he went on overdrive using federal might to muscle the entire West. Only Tinubu in Lagos resisted him.

No mind them, some of them know nothing.
The election should have been between Olu Falae and Alex Ekwueme, but because the military still want to hold on to power indirectly, they had to find a way to rig OBJ from primary to the general election .

Very correct my brother. They looked for unwilling president and gave it to him. Primary school headmaster. His ministers just like Jonathan had a field day. Nigeria would have been another nation now if they had allowed Awo to win. Nigeria's problem started te te and OBJ had hand in them. The north used him.

Interesting!
Katsina had more than 3 times the voter population of kano?
None of the Yoruba states wanted Obasanjo às President. He didn't win even one state in the southwest despite wining in all the other 30 states and the FCT.
No sir! Katsina had only 1.3 times the voter population of Kano.

So instead of Obj, Awo should have won. Did Awolowo contest in 1999? How did the north use Obj if I may ask?

This was different. After so many years of military rule Nigerians were enthusiastic to witness civilian rule. Many hadn't witnessed election from birth. That's the reason for the large turnout.

Olu Falae was the Obi of that time.

I like the way the contestants were from the same region. When it's time for another region, the 2 contestants should come from same.
That will never happen again. Even that of 1999 happened because the Northerner wanted healed the wound of Yoruba that was caused by cancellation of June 12 and the death of Abiola. So they decided to return the Presidency to SW

The military might not have requested him directly to forfeit it, but it's certain that they probably sent different emissary to him to do that, because they were actively involved in PDP affairs, by extension, Nigeria.
If that election was between Falae and Ekwueme, we might might not be experiencing the police and other security brutality that we are experiencing today

There was massive rigging in 1999. And not much has changed since then.

Political strongmen rig in their stronghold.
