Not sure about this theory, but it does make some sense, and it may also account for why APC lost votes in the North.

EVEN THEN, APC lost far too many votes in 2023 compared to 2019 for this to be the only reason

(BTW, the cashless policy of Buhari was a good idea, but as EL-Rufai said around that time, most Nigerians, especially in the rural areas, don't have access to POS, talkless of banking service).
Let him be chasing straws instead of the real issue.

Factual list of Nigeria’s presidential election winners since 1999, including each winner’s name and the percentage of valid votes they received.

1999 – Olusegun Obasanjo: about 62.78% of valid votes.

2003 – Olusegun Obasanjo: about 61.94% of valid votes.

2007 – Umaru Musa Yar’Adua: about 69.60% of valid votes.

2011 – Goodluck Jonathan: about 58.87% of valid votes.

2015 – Muhammadu Buhari: about 53.96% of valid votes.

2019 – Muhammadu Buhari: about 55.60% of valid votes.

2023 – Bola Ahmed tinubu: about 36.6–37% of valid votes.


Fact: Tinubu remains the most unpopular president to have won the Presidential elections.

The people who praised buhari unceasingly are now attacking him because there is a new tin god to please.
Osho was never really buhari praise singer. He subtly attacked him when campaigning for PBAT.

The Naira redesign affected almost every Nigerians from every part of Nigeria in a Negative way

Majority of Nigerians didn't partake in the Election. The turn out in the Presidential Election was not even up to 30%

Asiwaju eventually Won
You are right.
If they had turned up, he wouldn't have won.

Naira Redesign is now an excuse.

2027 , give Nigeria Free and fair Election.

Obi will still Floor him in his Bedroom .( Abuja).

Despite INEC , MILITARY , JUDICIARY , LEGISLATURE ARE IN THE POCKET OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

psalmsjob:
The logic you people use is too illogical to find a logic to it.

So because Peter Obi won lagos with about 10,000 votes than President Tinubu that means Tinubu is unpopular?

Every sane person knows that Buhari and his handlers in the cabal like Malami and co didn't want APC to survive that 2023 election because they wanted the former senate president from north east to be the presidential candidate of APC after they couldn't get CBN governors to be on the ballot. So the cashless policy was launched to discourage people from voting for APC and Tinubu.

I have said it several times that the reason Tinubu went for a muslim muslim ticket is because Atiku was in the race that was supposed to be for southern candidates but when your IQ is very low you will not understand.
Snake oil merchant. So he did muslim-muslim out of desperation to get into power? Why does he still see the need to repeat it but hypocritically vilify others who did the same to win an election? He lost Lagos but that didn't stop his cabinet from being populated by Lagosians and Lagos getting the highest project allocation. Didn't you all say others were irrelevant to his victory because they didn't deliver their states? A feat that proved impossible for him to achieve in his home state of Lagos and Osun.

BATified2023:
tinubu will win Lagos n reelection by every means available

Get that into your thick skull
We know. He will win it by invoking tribal sentiments and "Chinedu, go back to your state". At the national level, he is running on muslim-muslim ticket to also secure the Hausa-Fulani votes that made him president in 2023. But time is a gentleman.

Is there ever a time in this 4th Republic, where election turn out as always been high?

Tinubu was the favourite to win the 2023 Presidential Election. Whether the voters turnout was high or low wouldn't have mattered.

The Naira redesign affected Nigerians accross the Country in a Negative way.

An old Ibo man in a bank in the East even went naked crying and asking for his money to be given to him.

The man son and his friends attacked one of the women working at the bank, they removed all her car tyres because they blame her for not given the old man his money

So the turnout did not matter, right?
Meaning that he losing Lagos wasn't an issue of the turnout, which also contradicts your initial statement.

The post was about Peter Obi defeating Tinubu in Lagos "due to Naira Note Redesign" (according to Oshiomole.
You rushed out to agree with it and even buttressed it with a statement that the issue caused "low voter turnout" and that "Tinubu still won," implying directly that the low voter turnout was linked to the cash crunch and that the loss was linked to it.

Abi, what was in your mind when you polluted the air with your first comment?

Of course, tinubu ran low of cash to share.

Oshiomole should also tell us why tinubu fell out with Sanwo after the election, perhaps the later did not rig as required.

This is the most idiotic comment from Oshio Baba but still insightful in the sense that his principal uses money to buy votes and facilitate rigging.

magoo10:
the good thing is oshiomole now knows that Peter Obi is his father when it comes to politics
After tinubu the likes of oshiomole will be useless.
Does Obiano also know that Obi is his godfather in politics huh

What of Obi and Dickson? Who is the father of the other in politics?

newsbook:
Anambra State governor, Chief Willie Obiano has re-echoed his allegation that his predecessor, Mr Peter Obi demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him for sponsoring his election in 2013.

Obiano and his predecessor, Obi have had a frosty relationship shortly after his swearing in.

Obi has however denied that he demanded for the sum of N7.5billion from Obiano, saying that his problem with him was his (Obiano’s) underperformance.

Obi said if he needed the said sum, he would have simply taken it from the N75billion he left for the Obiano administration at the end of his tenure.

But Governor Obiano while speaking on Wednesday evening at Ezechima Primary School, Onitsha where he inaugurated his reelection campaigns in Onitsha North Council Area, said the clarification became necessary because of the recent accusations against him by the former Governor.

He stated that his predecessor had demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him as funds spent in prosecuting the election on his behalf, but that he refused to pay the money because it was not true.

Obiano said he refused to pay because he strongly believed that public funds should be used for public good, and not to settle godfathers.

These, he said, was the reason they fell apart.

The governor said that another reason he refused to pay the money was because he was aware that enough money was raised for his campaign by his friends and associates, all of which were never accounted for by the former governor.

On the actual sum the former Governor claimed he left behind, Governor Obiano made it clear that he inherited liability of about N127 billion debt from him in contracts awarded and other responsibilities, which he has been religiously undertaking in the spirit of continuity.

He said Obi flagged off several roads even on the day he was leaving office and saddled him with the burden of paying for it, but he assured the people that he has his eyes on the ball and will not allow anything to distract him from fulfilling his promises.

The Chairman of the Governor’s Re-election Campaign Committee, Chief Victor Umeh said APGA as the political spirit of Ndigbo, has in the past three and half years, availed Anambra good governance at its best, reminding the people that the upcoming guber election was not about Willie Obiano but about ensuring that the state remained free from political godfatherism.

A former Central Bank Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo in his speech said that at this time, the State needs a tested hand like Governor Obiano who has the experience and expertise to effectively steer her affairs.
