Ok but explain Lagos to us. Sanwo Olu his handpicked governor was in charge. What happened?

And why do you think having APC governors this time will help him especially in the North?
Lagos was due to a lot of misguided non-Igbos, including Yorubas, voting Obi. Nothing like that in 2027. Obi is a busted flush.

Using your language, what happened in the Lagos "battle" will help us understand what his prospects for the "war" look like in 2027.

He had the governor of Lagos in 2023 but lost Lagos.

Regardless of how his supporters try to spin it, we believe it was Buhari's endorsement plus people like El-Rufai that helped him win most votes from the North in 2027.

Now He has lost both Buhari and El-Rufai, and he failed to secure the support of Kwankwaso.

How will having governors in most states, especially in the North, help him win?
Naive talk. The North knows Yorubas are fed up of Nigeria and are the only one, of the major ethnic groups, with the clout and focus to split "One Nigeria" , the North need the most, if they suffer another Abiola-type act of treachery against PBAT.

Look at how the Sons of El Rufai, Atiku etal are behind Asiwaju, publicly declaring loyalty to him, to understand politics is about permanent interest ambitious politicians will always prioritize working for and not ethnic agenda.

You will see how Northern Governors will work to ensure Tinubu carries the day in some Northern State and, at the very least, get the requisite 25% in most States of the North.

The problem is that you guys always operate with emotions. Never critical-thinking or recognition of facts and reality on ground.

Do not fool yourself. Tinubu is the greatest incumbent President since 1999 by far.

Nothing for Obi or Atiku next year. For example, I am pretty sure he will use his foot soldiers to ensure neither get 25% vote in all six SW States let alone win any.

What your messiah Obi is doing is typical of those who do not belong at the top yet are trying to wing it.

Tinubu is where he is is because he is very talented as a politicians and perhaps best of his generation. He built people, powerful political structures and transformational legacy project like Eko Atlantic whereas Obi built nothing, is below mediocre and a dullard.

All he is famous for is fleeing from political Parties when the going get tough rather than resolving issues that would then make him meritorious head of the Party he has joined as Tinubu is the undisputed and well-respected Supremo of the APC.

If hype wins elections then sure Obi will be President. Yet the reality is that PBAT will win easily next year.

Best prepared, best supported and most powerful by far. A situation he arrived at because he plans meticulously, invests in other leaders thus securing their everlasting loyalty and bides his time as a talented politicians with an end game in sight he prepared for.

The "food is ready" approach to politics of Obi and his Obidients mob cannot succeed.
yet Obi defeated him Lagos, Atiku defeated him in osun , his major votes has to come from a region that thinks Muslim Muslim ticket will work for them. He is jagaban of failure, he built nothing, all he knows how to do is throw money here and there after reducing the purchasing power of the people , without rigging tinubu will be defeated before 12noon.

No problem. Keep talking about what Obi and Atiku achieved in 2023 as if things, and conditions on ground, are not considerably different today.

We will welcome 2027 in a few months. Fantasists,like you, can dream. Those who work with facts and reality know what's up.

President Buhari's Endorsment? BAT lost in Katsina, Buhari's home state, he lost in Kaduna where El rufai is the sitting governor. Buhari only appeared at his campaign once, the body language does not show any suport.

BAT won because the opposition votes was divided , Atiku did well in the north, but lost the NW because of his terible performance in Kano. BAT's second place in Kano was enough to give him the NW because Kwankwaso that won Kano performed terribly in other NW states.

Obi did well in the north central, but BAT still won because of the forgoten states of Kwara,Kogi and Niger where till today APC still have no rivals.

One major thing that count for the president is that even in states that he lost, he still performed well, while you guys are focused on victories, he is focused on margins.

At the end of the day, he won the war as he will again in 2027.

Did he not win? you folks can't distinguish betwen winning a battle and winning the war.

Lagos is just a battle, a cosmopololitan city where election has always been close. Obi won by a meagre 10,000 votes and the obedient has never stoped celebrating it .Clearly its the pick of his political achievement up till now.

The real war is Nigeria, Obasanjo was president for 8 years, he never won Lagos once. Even though he was based in Lagos as Military president just a few years back.

I doubt it if Tinubu will loose Lagos a second time, but the real price is Nigeria and I am very sure he will win, unless death or ill health stops him, even at that APC will win.

So you guys should keep celebrating your Lagos victory, meaningless though it is, it is the best you will ever get.
He will not win bro.
He is not God but just a mere man.
During that time, you will also just be ranting here for nothing and post this same post that you posted

No one is absolutely perfect in election analysis but in the final analysis, El-Rufai said Peter Obi cannot win the election and he truly did not win.

You people are funny. Let Obi go and be president of Lagos since he won Lagos.
I can never ever understand celebrating pockets of wins across Nigeria by OBIDIENTS as if it makes any difference because in the final analysis, only one person becomes the president. Even the Rufain Oseni you are quoting is always wailing and in serious pains that Tinubu is the president of Nigeria. So how does the single Lagos win make Rufai Oseni a winner?


Instead of you to tell Obi to stop attending interviews you are attacking Tinubu.

Give Obi a mic and he would disgrace himself thoroughly like he did with Seun Akinbaloye on Channels TV
Each interview Obi does makes your propaganda job more dificult for you as people keep seing him as a laughing stock grin

At least, his own was not even upto your master.
Bala blue... blue bla...... unla ba
Share the last interview the Tinubu had with the Bishops( real bishops not the fake one APCs rented lolz) he couldn't even stay on one topic.
He was just talking on things he wasn't even asked 🙄.
Bring most of his recents interview and see that he wasn't even communicating at all
Re: El-Rufai: "Obi Is A Drop In The Ocean In Lagos"—Then Obi Won Lagos (Throwback) by epainos: 5:33pm On Aug 02
But ElRufai did not tell any lie. Obi is still a drop in Lagos. Lol! This is the truth.

Did he win Lagos. Yes. And then what? What exactly?

That Obi is a drop in Lagos does not mean he is not popular or respected. Igbos are many in Lagos. They are claiming landlords sef. But Lagos isnt driving them away like they do.

So, the Lagosians rulers lost guard them. Why? Emefele did them bad. grin Why do you think they are dealing ruthlessly with him. What that man did to Tinubu....lol.

If Obi isnt a drop, he supposed to carry the momentum to gubernatorial. Where is Rhodes today? Lol. grin

Who is Obi mentoring? Lol. He is a drop. He will know the extent they have caged him in this election.

Do I support the thuggery method of APC? Nope. But the whole grassroot of Lagos is in the hands of the strong man. Who is Obi? Such cannot happen again in Lagos.

The way Obi will lose 2027 election, it will be shameful. The way Tinubu will clear the whole of the north, SW, SS, and even SE, it will shock everyone. You allowed that man enter Aso Rock. Forget it. He is the chairman.

I’m surprised most APC supporters are not getting the clear simple message here. That tells a lot. How low does one have to go to explain things?

The post is not celebrating frivolities. It’s warning people not to listen to politicians telling them Peter Obi can’t win, especially APC politicians like Keyamo etc

The real question is: Can Obi win if the election is free, fair and credible ? And the answer is an emphatic YES!
Tinubu's reputation, precedent and performance so far as president are not good enough to make him win a reelection.
If a good number of voters (particularly youths) come out to vote on election day, Tinubu cannot escape defeat.

He is also a drug lord.
