Buhari and his cabal didn't want Tinubu to take over....Jagaban taught them how powerful he is . So Buhari no get option.

As for Bros D. Na political survival he is looking for
your tinubu used emotional blackmail against them. they all ugly skeletons in their cupboards. he was ready to spill the truth, that was why they allowed him. if he didn't protect himself spiritually, they would have killed him. you think you can play brutal politics more than the Fulanis.

If Buhari worked against Tinubu, he wouldn't have emerged as president. Buhari was neutral and rightly so, in an election that his Vice, Osinbajo was also contesting. Fastforward to 2026 and it's now clear what Osinbajo was trying to tell Nigerians. "Vote for who you know, don't vote for who you do not know". Why is Tinubu so desperate in being the only candidate on the ballot come 2027? This has never happened before. Elrufai who came all out to support Tinubu, how was he repaid?
Because he knows he cant win any other way
Obi and atiku can not run apart like last time they are or should be smarter now

The least popular president in the history of the country
President with 8 million votes

Those who lived in Lagos back then in 2002-4 have one question, who killed Funsho Williamshuh
Although I didn't ask that question, but I have a feeling you are going to tell us since you know who did.


Thank you for your attention to this matter

If Buhari truly worked against Tinubu,he won't be president today,leave that propaganda talk.Buhari allowed level playing ground for everybody in Apc even though he might have a preferred candidate.
Aminda, you don't have to switch accounts to argue with yourself.

You're not informed.

Buhari didn't want it to look as if he anointed Tinubu, especially as the reports of bullion vans leaving Tinubu's house before the election so he used another method of rigging to help Tinubu win.

Moreover Tinubu is a secret Fulani have you ever heard of Tinubu's father's name or anything about him? Forget about the appointments he gives Yorubas let's look critically at his actions in office especially as it relates to insecurity

Tinubu spent 7 million dollars to defend criminal fulani herdsmen jihadists from being designated a foreign terrorist organization. He also gave Boko haram 9 million dollars, something even Buhari will not dare do.

GloriousGbola:
One the eve of the election we had a double whammy

The HARDEST fuel scarcity Nigeria had ever seen. I have lived through multiple fuel scarcities and this was simply the hardest

The naira cash scarcity which had people spending naira to buy naira. Jumping bank fences.

Team Buhari was prepared to burn it all down so tinubu would not be president

Who allows that to happen on the eve of an election? Kyari should be in prison with emeifele.
In addition to this, provision for subsidy payment expired at the end of Buhari's tenure and it wasn't included in the budget, the reason Tinubu made that insensitive announcement that subsidy has been removed.

Imagine punishing the millions of citizens because of only one man.

Dele mumude is a terrible liar.
Re: Tinubu Wants To Contest Against Himself, Buhari Made Him President – Dele Momodu by franchasofficia: 8:37am On Mar 16
Mr Dele Momodu tell them.


Buhari made Tinubu President with the assistance of people like:

El Rufai
Wike
INEC Yakubu Mahmoud


Only liars will deny this obvious truth staring us all in the face.

Don’t tell me you expect Tinubu not to be wary of his words during all what happened? Those people were ready to pounce on him with any thing he says then…

Obidients no just get sense.
This type of campaign only achieve two thing
1.Make Tinubu supporters more sturbon
2.Demarkets your candidate
Who are the "Tinubu supporters" outside Yorubas in the South West and Kwara/Kogi? We implore them to vote 100% for their Tinubu, no problem and that's about it. Just tell your Tinubu to give himself common sense and allow the rest of the country to vote for their choice too z so that we would see what happens.

The way tinubu will be dragged down before election it will shock everybody, that why he don't want opposition but he failed to know that his opposition is USA, Senate go shake when ADC enter CNN AJESERA and other international media. The Shane go loud and finally USA myths pick him up.
Shh. No cast things yet. Allow him and his agbado co-travellers to continue fooling themselves.

Conservarmy:
Dele momodu is a low key anti Yoruba. The same buhari that contested 3 times and couldn't win. He even cried on national TV that he will never contest again until Tinubu went to meet him in Kaduna and helped him to be a president. Buhari that couldn't made himself the president how on earth did he made Tinubu the president.
@bolded Exactly!

And his mum is Yoruba

We need to stop Yoruba women from marrying downward. Their children end up hating Yoruba. angry

But hey, Dele, Dino, Nduka are all chopping their fair share of Atiku's looted wealth. Afterall, the money belongs to all Nigerians.

Please chop the money Dele

Dele Momodu is a poor student of history!

If Buhari had his way, Tinubu would never have emerged as the APC flagbearer let alone becoming the president of Nigeria.

Tinubu fought for the presidency doggedly and by sheer providence won against all odds.

Dele Momodu is mentally befuddled!

Who is El Rufai? A man that would steer up cabal against Tinubu if he were to be in his government. It is better as he is on the opposition side, at least you know who you are fighting with....Not a snake plotting your downfall from within.

El Rufai is an animal, that mad destroyed people's lives as the then FCT Minster- many died, many never recovered. Especially the domlition of retiree's homes

Not buhari but buhari's men/cabal.

Buhari didn't have a candidate but he allowed tinubu have his way after winning the primaries.

Buhari supported the party so buhari supported tinubu to win.

Why are you people so naive
Buhari made him president, you cabt oppose a popular and determined nigerian CinC
Forget all the tv drama they played for you
There wasn't any drama. This same buhari almost snuffed life out of us with his draconian "cashless" policy and for what?

Notatribalist:
How exactly was he agaist tinubu? If he had picked Osibanjo as his preffered candidate who would have stopped him?
He should picked Osinbajo na. Do you even know the reason for the "emilokan" that you guys call Tinubu today? I guess not.

Buhari allowed tinibu to win without interfering if he wanted to stop tinibu he would have done it and nothing would have happened.
Buhari didn't allow him, there was no other way he could work against him after several attempts. The useless "cashless" policy being one of them. There was no other way he could have gone against him without visibly being anti-party. He had no choice since he didn't everything to stop him at the primaries and failed. Anyone above 12 years old in 2022 and could at least have a little interest in politics should not be ascribing APC victory in 2023 to buhari. The man is just useless top to bottom in everything. Looking back at APC, I think Atiku would have been a more honorable person than buhari and Tinubu should have supported him in 2014 instead of the lifeless one.

They tried. Read the news around May to June 2022. Tinubu didn't just decided to say "emilokan" in Abk out of the blue.

Don't mind him. Imagine how people now attempt to rewrite history.

SO why did Tinubu tell Nigerians i will continue from where Buhari stopped undecided

You fit carry on your enemy work
It's all politics just not to be seen visibly going against the president who happened to be in the same party. Buhari had no choice after the man managed to win the party primaries. They had to come up with "cashless" policy to frustrate him. You wonder why opposition parties were in support of such useless policy despite the untold hardship it brought? It's the first time in my entire existence when I became very helpless

Sheuns:
If a sitting president is against your presidential ambitions, trust me you won’t even contest in the primaries.

Buhari decided to remain neutral. If not for El Rufai and a few others that forced his hands. Tinubu was already considering SDP as his platform.
Chief, Buhari didn't have any other choice. On what ground would he not be allowed to participate in the primaries? I'm glad you know buhari did everything to frustrate him. There's no way the useless man could have done more than that. Maybe you forgot he threw the entire country into unnecessary chaos just fews weeks to election just because of the man.

Buhari supported the party so buhari supported tinubu to win.
Buhari's men also authorized the needless cashless policy that threw the country into chaos? The emilokan statement was directed at buhari himself, not his men. You know it's very easy and convenient to just pretend to be neutral and let your foot soldiers do your dirty stuff?
Will buhari ever smell victory at the APC primaries if Tinubu decided to be neutral?

You know what i have observed, when people in govt want to justify something they know makes no sense ... They use that phrase " it is politics" wike doez it Alot cheesy and who instruct you guyz politics must be bereft of logical reasoning

I can you opine cashless policy only affect Tinubu, ... Do we not all spend cash and got frustrated at that period
Did Buhari give Atiku nd Peter obi free pass to spend money ... so how did cashless only affect Tinubu
you feel the cashless is targeted at Tinubu because you know did kind of dirty politics he plays cheesy face the damn truth

SO somewhere you know, the cashless policy rbrought hardship upon Nigerians and yet you feel Tinubu is the Victim

you were helpless buh you opined Tinubu is the victim ....smh

The kind of reasoning you read ... God why you put me for 9ja

I do not know of any politician in Nigeria that likes or loves opposition, not even Buhari. Tinubu has not made any decrees turning the country into a one-party State. The case has been that there is no credible opposition and the opposition is in disarray. And that is not unexpected when you have parties without ideologies.
