The same way OBJ lost the north after his 1st term in 2003. By refusing to do the bidding of the northern oligarchs only. By insisting on allowing development and government appointments to reach all the 6 geopolitical zones in reality and not on paper.

Same thing PBAT is doing with his 1st term.

Please tell the northern oligarchs to wait for their time in 2031.

Kindly take the message back to the sender.
This is one detail I keep forgetting. Buhari swept the core north in 2003 but didn't get the spread or numbers to win it.

El Rufai was most relevant in the build up to the election. However, in the election proper, APC lost Kaduna in the Presidential election, lost numerous National assembly seats, and very narrowly won the gubernatorial election.
Or you want to pretend you don't know how much he is despised especially in southern Kaduna?

APC will perform way better in Kaduna come 2027 than they did in 2023. You can bookmark this.
Lol. I just hope Tinubu has better advisers on Northern matters than yourself. Elrufai's contribution to Tinubu's victory transcended his ability to make Tinubu win Kaduna state. Elrufai wasn't on the ballot, Tinubu was. Tinubu was on the ballot in Lagos but couldn't win the state which he governed for 8 years and his state of origin, Osun State but let's crucify Elrufai for not having the ability to market alcohol in the middle of Mecca. Tinubu got 400k votes in Kaduna, Atiku (a Northerner), won the state with 500k votes while Kwankwaso (another Northerner) got 150k votes. Obi cleared all of Southern Kaduna votes but that only translated to just over 200k votes. Fastforward to 2027 and Elrufai, Atiku, Obi and Kwankwaso are in the same party. Do the math! You don't know better than Tinubu that is fighting tooth and nail to ensure that he does not have to face any opposition at the ballot. Now, that's how you analyse politics.

Tinubu is in bed with those killing Nigerians. Why should anybody vote for him? The NSA is sending unknown gunmen to Nigerian communities as vigilantes when those communities are under the attack of unknown gunnen

Oh ok, you are actually a full fledged member of ADC 😁

Don't worry, Atiku was far more confident than this in 2023. Even me, I was 100% certain that Atiku will win. Not that I wanted him to win, as Buhari just finished a bad 8 yrs.

But be careful to write off Tinubu with this cockyness. Its not over until it is over.....still many many hurdles ahead

Saladdin:
Lolz, me online voter? I doubt you even have a PVC. The first three states you mentioned are currently a nightmare for any ballot snatcher. Please do short vox pop in any of those three states and you'll know what's going on.

In one of those states, clear warnings have already been given that NOBODY should bring spaghetti and 200ml groundnut oil to come and campaign, else they'll be flogged and chased away. People are campaigning for free in those states.

Igbos' hardly pay Soludo any attention. They'll vote their choice and send useless street born-throways who attempt to snatch ballot boxes back to his maker.

In Kano, Abba has already lost his goodwill. Gawuna is already smiling in a corner. I won't be surprised if he has sew his inauguration agbada. cheesy

In Kaduna, most grassroot politicians have joined the ADC. I'm talking of young rugged politicians that'll give Uba Sani a run for his money. You don't know anything. When last did you hear anything from him? cheesy cheesy

Isa Ashiru's residence from 2027 is the Sir Kashim Ibrahim House.

FCT residents will naturally vote against Tinubu, they are as sophisticated as that. Tinubu should forget the FCT.

You think this is a joke? If you doubt me, follow the news in months to come.

Be more concerned about Peter Obi. Obi defeated Tinubu in the South and will defeat him again in 2027. If Tinubu loses his Northern votes, where will his votes come from? The North gave him 63% (5.6m) of his votes. Mind you, if he repeats his muslim-muslim ticket he will lose the little ground he has gained in the middlebelt.
Don't worry, y'all said more than this 2023. Once Obi is not the candidate, forget it. So I will advice u to give obi ticket but is not looking like Atiku will leave greed alone.

Relax, 2027 is around the corner. You can play ostrich or drown in wishful thinking all you want. Your emotions would not change obvious facts.

Even your tin-god is no longer counting on winning at the ballot, he wants to use federal power and institutions of state to preselect the opponents he will face at the polls. Not going to happen.

Tinubu has never lost an election he ran. Your corrupt SPV god has been trying to be president since 1992. After 2027, he will finally retire to his beloved Dubai.

Tinubu is the greatest politician alive in Nigeria. He does not take opposition for granted no matter how small. If you create loopholes in your smelly coalition of confusion, he will exploit it and show you guys pepper. Cry from now till tomorrow, emotions do not change fact.

He lost to Obi in his backyard in Lagos. He is only president today because the North made him so with their votes.

He's building houses for judges and giving lands out to INEC officials. Is that part of the loopholes created by the opposition? Did this loopholes exist when others were president or they suddenly manifested during his regime?

In his first election, Obasanjo lost all of South West to Falae.

End SARS, currency redesign, and Muslim-Muslim ticket affected Tinubu's performance in Lagos and most parts of the south. But he has gained grounds since assuming the presidency. He will clear all of South-South, South West, and Middle-belt. He will perform excellently in the South East this time. He will sweep the North and shock naysayers like you.

Let Obi go and win Lagos again in 2027 na. undecided

Times have changed my brother, stop playing ostrich.
