What sort of talk is this? You did not note I described Tinubu as incumbent meaning all powers of the Nigerian nation is in his hand? Was he incumbent in 2023?

Additionally, he has support of 31 Governors or so which was not the case in 2023. Ogbeni, you better respect facts and reality on ground.
You might be stressing yourself invain ..... They really don't understand the politics behind Obi winning Lagos and Abuja.

Just let them rant online... The real politics is offline.

You mean Obi won Lagos online and lost it offline in 2023?

Or do you mean offline like this?

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

@OP.

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.
Everlasting loyalty, talented politician, undisputed, well respected etc of your political god are NOTHING under INTEGRITY POLITICAL STETHOSCOPE. Rightly,you are blind to this because of reasoning beclouded by monthly data stipend.

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.
In a free and fair election, Tinubu will not win a local government talk more of winning Lagos

GEJ was also all that, maybe you forgot.
I think you did not read my long epistle. let me summarize it

Obasanjo: A seasoned soldier handpicked to become president
Yar Adua: A seasoned Lecturer handpicked to become president
Jonathan: A seasoned Lecturer handpicked to become President
Buhari: A seasoned soldier handpicked to become president
Tinubu: A seasoned Politician who has been strategizing, scheming, and planning all his life to get there and now he is there even when many odds were against him. Now he wields the power and he has shown you already that he is not afraid to use the power,

Na that person you say make a gentleman trader wey dey run away from trouble come confront?. This one dey see trouble dey happy.


Thank you for your attention to this matter

As a Muslim and a northerner, It always makes me laugh when I see someone who have never left his hamlet in the south east telling northerners who to vote.


Same Obi that was deporting northerners out of Anambra
Same Obi that created a register for northerners in Anambra
Same Obi that destroyed the Onitsha central mosque in Anambra
Same Obi that demolished the Hausa market only to rebuild it and hand over to his Igbo brothers
Same Obi that was waging a religious war in the YES DADDY leaked audio phone call with Oyedepo

How can you expect northerners to vote for their enemies because Obi is 100% enemy of Muslims and the North
Ohh so now he doesn't leave his hamlet in South East. It is no more them entering night bus to SW abi. Bros go and sit down you are talking a lot of nonsense.

Only in a country like ours will a mere Catholic bishop/cardinal have access to the seat of government. Then be uncouth enough to disclose the discussion to media houses.

Throw him out yesterday sef, it won't be any skin off my teeth. Just replace him with someone sensible, which rules put Peter Obí.
Now he is a mere cardinal. Do you know who a cardinal is? You guys just wake up and type nonsense. Don't invite curses on yourself

Lagos was due to a lot of misguided non-Igbos, including Yorubas, voting Obi. Nothing like that in 2027. Obi is a busted flush.
You see that tribalistic rallying that you people by using fake profiles and claiming igbos called Lagos no man's land will fail big time because people are angry with this govt. You seem to underestimate the anger among the populace.
Re: El-Rufai: "Obi Is A Drop In The Ocean In Lagos"—Then Obi Won Lagos (Throwback) by Irony1: 7:52pm On Aug 02
WizardOfNG:
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.
You are deluded. The same Yoruba HOR kicked against restructuring saying to will help igbos get Biafra. You guys seriously overestimate your relevance in the scheme of things in this country. You don't know how MUCH Tinubu has unravelled you people. If he loses next year it will be bad for you guys, and any attempt at Yoruba nation will see a deadlier version of python dance in SW this one the northern soldier would be happy to exert their pound of flesh on these agberos

2027 is not 2023, APC learned it lesson that human being are dynamic in nature and emotion can sway people heart therefore will not repeat same mistake twice.

Nah we dey Lagos nah we know why APC lost the Election and same thing will not repeat itself!!!!!


*#Bookmark this you lot will see overwhelming number comes 2027......... *
Unless you guys use voters intimidation but trust me if everything is free and fair. Tinubu will lose Lagos in Landslide. Trust me even within Lagos APC they will vote against Tinubu. Make no mistake about it.

Obi cannot win in Lagos in 2027 even if 20000 of. Igbos relocate to Lagos before election ! Yorubas in Lagos are awake now. They will not repeat the mistake they made in 2023 in Lagos only to see the Igbos claiming ownership of Lagos
You guys really underestimate how much Tinubu is hated in Lagos circles, it is just eye service people are doing. The truth is this if there is no rigging violence or voter intimidation Obi will win Lagos Landslide. On what basis will APC campaign when there is anger and hunger in the town? Lagosian are awake I agree, but they are awake against Tinubu, some of those who did the voter intimidation are regretting their decisions.

What has changed that will stop him from winning?

I am sure you hated him ane voted against him last time and he still won.

Since then , many people who voted against him are now in his camp, he has gained more than he has loosed while your toxic Mesiah that you celebrate more than the real Mesiah has lost more than he has gained.

You think so?
As usual, your master can't win without rigging and his thugs.
In a country with free and fair elections... with the way everything is in shamble right now, he wouldn't even have 10% of the vote.
Infact, if not for money 🤣 , you will not even vote for him.
Mention one sensible thing you will use to campaign for him.

How does what I say change the fact that una people dey enter night bus every day to south west and other regions of the country to search for daily bread.

Those who are deluded and think they could tell us who to vote for have never stepped out of their tiny village or hamlet which is why they think they can tell others who to vote for.

If my talk pain you, then you can:
1) Tell your people to stop entering night bus to other regions
2) tell your people to educate themselves about election and that they are in no position to tell others who to vote
