Keep it up anonimi, keep it up, you are doing a good job. Your mentor Atiku has taught you well on the politics of backstabbing Yoruba leadership of this nation.

But unfortunately you've met your match with PBAT, your party and your politrickery are already in disarray.

How we foiled Jonathan’s effort to make Mulika Adeola Speaker, Akande reveals

AS president in 2011, Goodluck Jonathan did all he could to ensure South West grabbed the country’s number four seat, including lobbying then opposition leaders from the zone, to no avail. The North West eventually grabbed the seat, supported by South West leaders in opposition to then ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Former Governor of Osun State and now statesman, Chief Bisi Akande, made this revelation in his autobiography, “My Participations” which is currently dominating political and national dis- course.

Aminu Tambuwal, now Sokoto State governor, won the seat, against the preferred pick of his party, Mrs Mulikat Adeola Akande, from the South-West. Defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, then a fledging opposition, which had Akande and his soulmate, former Lagos State governor, Senator Bola Tinubu, as front- line leaders, openly asked its elected members of the House of Representatives, mostly from the South-West, to work against their region and back Tambuwal from North-West.

The opposition party’s support carried Tambuwal through the contest against Akande, then ruling party’s favourite for the speakership seat.

In his book, Chief Akande revealed that former president then as incumbent, personally reached out to Tinubu, who is now believed to be nursing presidential aspiration in 2023 and himself, but couldn’t convince them.

He wrote, “President Jonathan, immediately after the meeting (with political parties), called Bola Tinubu aside into a lobby to broach the matter of ACN support for a choice of who would become the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

“That same day, President Jonathan talked to me on phone about the same matter. He disclosed that PDP had zoned the position to the South-West but that only one Muraina and another Mulika won elections on PDP ticket from the zone into the House of Representatives.

My dad, victim of complex conspiracy – Kola Abiola

What role did Bola Tinubu play in all of these?

At the very beginning, he was part of the Yar’Adua PF group from Jos. He was a senator then, and as far as the group went, we related. The crisis started post-election. When Abacha came, one of the things he wanted to do was to be the administrator for Lagos.

That is Tinubu?

Yes. I am sure you have seen pictures of him and my dad. He was hoping that there would be civilian administrators like we had under IBB but Abacha said no, that he was going to have military administrators. So he (Tinubu) said okay, in that case, can I be a deputy administrator? But Abacha said that there wouldn’t be deputies. Then he wanted the post of a commissioner.

He wanted to be a commissioner?

Yes. Then it was a choice between him and someone very close to Jakande who has passed on now. I can’t remember his name, but because Babagana was already in the government, that guy was picked as commissioner. But really, Senator Tinubu had lost out already.

Was Tinubu very close to MKO?

Yes, he was close enough. He and Adeniyi Adele, a very good guy, were close to my father. In fact, Adeniyi was closer to my father and more dedicated to the process than anyone of them. When my documentary comes out, you will see Tinubu’s take on issues. So once he lost out, automatically, he became a NADECO member and Adeniyi was incarcerated.

You are far from reality, perhaps you are gushing out what, one misinformed older guy around you told you, I won't be surprised you are still a toddler then.

Meanwhile, even if it's true, is it the reason why Obj didn't do anything in south west? Going by what you analysed up there?

Anybody that was taught to do evil and he obliged, he himself is a devil.

I will advise you to go and read that Obj son and daughter said about their own father, before you ordinary stranger that is reading story from far distance.

Obj antecedent is not worth emulating and far from image, he is projecting himself to be.

And who says Obasanjo is perfect?

The only area OBJ made mistake was in election rigging. Baba was a master in that. But apart from that?Economic wise,He is the best we had since 1999
Telecommunications
Banking
Anti corruption- Efcc and ICPC
Paid off our debts
Minimum wage was increased twice
The Nigerian middle class grew

Abeg,your yeye tinubu cannot even lace Obasanjo's shoes. Your tinubu is only synonimus with poverty and nothing positive

Chief Olusegun Obasanjo had the best chance to amend the constitution, especially that part that has to do with elections and electoral malpractices but was blindfolded by his evil third term agenda. Yes, the economy boomed in his dispensation but if had really done what needed to be done, no Nigerians would be afraid to go out and vote their preferred candidates.

ejimatic:
I don't know why people would love to lie when the facts are in the public domain.
I don't have time to read your rubbish reply.

1. The military junta wanted a Yoruba man to rule in order to pacify Yorubas over Abiola matter. Obasanjo was their choice.
2 The Southwest politicians chose OluFalae

3 Obasanjo won but the SW voted Olu Falae to sustain Baba Awolowo legacies.


4 In order to win the SW in 2027, the PDP caucus killed Bola Ige in his Ibadan residence.The result? PDP won the SW states through a coordinated rigging but Lagos was still won by the AD.

5 Obasanjo wanted to include 3td term clause into our constitution which Atiku and many others rejected in the Senate.


6 It was Obasanjo who refused to sign GLO documents because he did not want anybody to be like him. in the SW.When Obasanjo travelled out ,Awujale and some people had to go to him in London on the Glo matter.Yet he refused to give approval for Glo to operate in Nigeria.

7 When he was out of the country,Atiku signed the document for Glo to operate in Nigeria.


8. Did Obasanjo recognize Abiola June 12 election? It was Buhari a Hausa man that gave recognition to June 12.

9 Did Obasanjo support Tinubu to be the president? Is it not Obi that he supported?

Baba Obasanjo is after his own interest.He does not want any Yoruba man to be like him.He has failed woefully as a Yoruba leader. I look at anything Obasanjo says now as the senility of the old age.Everything about Obasanjo is in the public domain.

Long live Yoruba nation!
Long live Nigeria

obj was never a good person, it is only lately that gen z who doesn't know the country history or who weren't around then that they are supporting obj.

That man na devil incarnate, he had d best chance to lift Nigeria higher with resources at his disposal and everything but he messed things up.

This same obj was power drunk that he wanted to go for 3rd term n every governor that went against his was either impeached or lost reelection badly with the help of the then inec chairman Maurice iwu.

The obidient who now see obj as messiah now, if peter obi had contested in d era of obj then they would have known obj to b d devil himself, fayose made it clear that 99.9% of election results then we're written in obj bedroom.

At least yakubu organized everything n opposition vote counted, it was on the field when inec materials never reach our local government that we hear election result of our state for radio.

Imagine say u dey field dey wait for inec materials n viam u say make u listen to radio n them dey announce your state election results when u never even vote.

That's y I don't rate those obidient cos they don't know who obj was, to them it's anyone following obi even if that person is a devil

AMINDA:
Obasanjo was never Atiku’s master and will never be. He merely invited Atiku to be his Vice and it was a call to service. Atiku’s utmost loyalty is to the Nigerian people. Not one man.

AMINDA:
On the contrary, Atiku was a democrat and still is. He did the right thing against a dictatorial Obasanjo. Tinubu had the opportunity to pay it forward but he became even more dictatorial than Obasanjo. That's not on Atiku. It's like blaming thr patents of a terrible individual of not aborting the individual while he was a child.

dettolgel:
From your write up you just painted Obj as a nationalist which in his own write up he clearly stated it that he is not a tribalist So you made his case for him. You guys and tribalism na like 5 and 6

anonimi:
Atiku succeeded 100xxxx times in the economy, with deregulation and privatisation policies for a business friendly government.

What else are you watching to see, apart from his influence on peasant farmer Obasanjo

epainos:
Atiku cannot become the president of Nigeria. Obasanjo may forgive him, but he will work against him. Rather, OBJ will allow Tinubu to continue.

Atiku failed to remove his boss, and this is one of the biggest hindrance. When you mame such move, it is a do or die affair. To Atiku, it killed his ambition and shut the door permanently. But the worst issue is that, it was shut in a way that he didnt understand it has been shut permanently. Lol. And this is more dangerous because it has cost Atiku a fortune, yet, he still cannot see it clearly. He is delusional. What OBJ dod to him is too much. Mehn! He killed him with hopes. The likes of Reno Omokri, Fani Kayode, and many others have benefitted massively from this failed hopes. Even Wike is able to talk back to him and rubbish him because of the damages OBJ left in Atiku. Who is Wike to talk to him anyhow. Even Tinubu shows mote respect. Lol.

Finally, the Atiku curse was the reason he left the winning Obi yo choose Okowa. Lol. And Obi got bigger than even Atiku. Yet, Atiku has not realised it. Lol. Everyone knows his play now as Wike exposed it. He can always buy the primary and push out anyone and everyone except Bola Tinubu who single handedly defeated him and made sure Buhari won the primary. That was dollar to dollar competition, and was the only and last time he was defeated. He saw the signs that Bola would defeat him again and again. So he quickly left them for the opposition. And he met Wike. This was the final blow on him. All because of the failed hopes OBJ left him.

OBJ really did him bad. I see it better for him to have known in their first term in office that he cannot continue since OBJ was aware he was trying to impeachment him from day 1. Yet, OBJ did not make any attempt to impeach him, rather kept him closer and killed him with hopes.

Atiku is still carrying this hope in 2026, this is 27 years after he initiated the plot. Imagine being hopeful for 27 years. What is worse than this in this life? Imagine the amount he has wasted. Now. He is paying one US lobbying firm to bastardize Tinubu's name more when that one had already painted himself as a cooperative man though with stains in his character. So, it is Atkku who has the tendency of strengthening sharia and who has more recent case with the US is who the US will accept to replace Tinubu. Or is it Obi who has decided in his wisdom to make a VP put of a labelled terrorist is who the US will work with.

These people gave Bola Tinubu a free rifle to a second term.

Good luck to you all.

Samuels90:
Atiku was not a democrat. From the day he became VP he wanted OBJ out. Not for the good of the country or anything, but for himself. You can make points for him, without using flowery words like Democrat for him.

Your other comments on this topic also suggest mayb you are an Atiku supporter, that is why you gave out this biased Judgement.

The Edwin Clarke that you quoted, does he have the character or charisma of OBJ?
Or is he not one of the "Come and Chop Leaders" of the South-South who betrayed their People, betrayed the development of their Land, for Personal Financial Gains, each time they travel to Abuja to collect Money from the Presidency?
Abeg Shift jare.

OBJ is not perfect but a man like him who is bold in decision-making, (right decisions, not the current Subsidy is gone type!), is bound to be controversial.
You think if OBJ was the President, these Terrorists/Bandits will still be as Confident as to be overrunning our Military Formations and killing Generals at will, Kidnapping Children from Schools and making Farming in the South West/Middle Belts impossible?

Loose with Women? Yes! I have never seen a Military man who i snot loose with Women, not even that Bean-Pole Jihadist called Buhari.
But that story of sleeping with his Son's Wife or Daughter, is a False allegation manufactured to smear his image, until it is Proven to be True.

At least
Out debt was Zero
Nigeria respected all over the world
He appointed competent hands to run economy without picking his kinsmen
Nigeria was hosting heads of States and major sports tournaments.
These are few this I remembered OBJ for.

Under you Emilokan.
Tell me any useful President that has visited?
Tell me how Nigerians in South Africa 🇿🇦 are being treated. If not for Ghana and other countries who are bold to retaliate what could be our fate.
Tell me one Minister who is capable under your Emilokan?
Can Nigeria ever host even under 09 Inter house sports now as a nation.
We are the laughing stock amongst the committee of Nations.
If not for Rema, Burnaby Boy, Davodo, Wizkid, Flavour, Asake and Phyno, Osihmen and others who are making Nigeria proud outside, no one will be talking about Nigeria today.
