Hope next year election when people begin excort election material and the all nation come out to vote and Tinubu energe the winner, we nor won hear democracy is in danger, I nor know if only opposition win election, that's when election is Free and fair

Give me 10reasons why APC have to retain power ?? Are you normal in this country?? God forbid.

Local government funds doesn't belong to the governor, take note.

A local government chairman has the same power in his local government that the governor has in his state and they are independent.



Thank you for your attention to this matter

How comes this is only applicable and enforced in Osun state? In other states, governors continue to get local government allocations into their accounts as long as they sing the mandate song. Yet you wonder why Adeleke says he has endorsed Tinubu. Tinubu is sabotaging himself by seeking endorsements via coercion and threats. He should learn from Osun. You can't force the people into loving you.

UrVillageChief:
…but this thing pain una o😂😂 Blood is thicker than water here in the SW. We practice the most mature form of politics here. The Jagaban and his Omoluabi brother, Gov. Adeleke disappointed y’all 😂😂

Continue to cope. So why did Tinubu lose Lagos and Osun in 2023 while on the ballot and is now set to lose Oyo? Was blood not thicker than water in 2023? So without begging for Adeleke's endorsement, Tinubu cannot win his own ancestral state of Osun? What does that say about him?

AMINDA:
How is he going to do that? The whole state turned out for the election. You all have unravelled yourselves as fascists after spending decades wearing the NADECO cloak. Vote buying and electoral malpractices died under Buhari but Tinubu resuscitated it.

"Tinubu deserves to be commended for not using federal might to rig the elections in Osun" - Endorsement Bandits

Really?? So Buhari was the popular choice of Nigerians after all? Something is wrong with the way those of you on that side of the fence think.

The president can still declare the election inconclusive if he wants.

APC is the best political party in Africa.

If we win, we jubilate and if we lose we congratulate the winner and move on.

Let him try let's see.

Buhari had 12m dedicated voters that would follow him to the ends of the world until the day of his death? How many organic supporters does Tinubu have in the Southwest? 5.6m out of his total 8m votes in 2023 were from the Buhari bloc who voted for him as payback for 2015, thanks to Elrufai. Buhari had thousands of people trooping out on the roads to greet him whenever he steps outside on the streets, Tinubu cannot even campaign in Lagos without hiring crowd and mobilising them with money.

josielewa:
NO HE CANT. THE LG RESULTS SPEAKS FOR THEMSELVES. APC WANTED TO RIG THE ELECTION, BUT IT WAS A DIFFICULT ONE TO RIG. REMI TINUBU AND OYETOLA ARE THE MASTER MIND FOR APC FAILURE. IREV WAS PAUSED FOR ALMOST 2 HOURS, BUT BY THEN EACH MONITORING ROOM ALREADY HAS THE RESULT, SO NO WAY INEC COULD RIG THE ELECTION. THEY HAD NO CHOICE THAN TO ANNOUNCE ADELEKE AS THE WINNER.

For saying NO HE CAN'T, I guess you are a kid when Obasanjo was the president.

ijayalolo:
Released to who exactly?

If you must ask questions, ask reasonable ones. Why did Obj seize fund, why did Tinubu not release fund?




Thank you for your attention to this matter

Oga stop trying to be half clever. Obasanjo seized Lagos state LG funds whether he or his successor released it is immaterial. The issue here is why is Tinubu holding on to the LG funds of Osun when there is no established legal basis to do so? You are the one not reasonable.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Respect yourself this man. 😅
You sound like a broken record.
What is the big deal about congratulations or no congratulations?
You're not even that relevant as a Journalist because you're mediocre at best and unprofessional.

I thought the story had always been how GEJ was rigged and coerced out. Now it's emerging that Buhari was a man of integrity. We were also told that Tinubu had bullion vans supporting Buhari but now it seems Buhari never relied on vote buying after all.


Hehehe.

onehope:
Where did he derive the powers to declare state of emergency in Rivers State? he suspended the governer and conducted LGA elections in his absence. Nothing happened and Nigerians did nothing about it. You don't know how powerful the president of Nigeria is! Remember that APC gave governorship ticket to a PDP member in Rivers State. Tinubu personally, was neutral in Osun state elections. So stop the noise, all of us na noise makers for this country.

Would you have said he was neutral if APC won the election? How was Tinubu even neutral with the level of intimidation accord party members suffered, and the illegal witholding of lg funds and the momentary freezing of the states account 10 days to election?

Why did he quickly direct efcc to quickly unseal the accounts, or you don't know power itself has its own limits and that there are repercussions that even a leader won't be able to contain?

This is not dictatorship

Many of you overrated the president and underrate the masses

If APC be want rig the election nothing for stop them

I don't think Rufai before speaking so the president should have congrats Adeleke before the election.

I blame him I blame those that follow or listen to him.

DiarisGodoo:
Where did he derive the power to remove a whole elected governor? The ONLY power he needs is tell INEC to announce it and army and police to enforce - and they all will definitely obey him.

No problem. He'd have to then militarize the whole of Nigeria in 2027 when he's have realized that he's staring at the barrel to declare the election inconclusive.

Why would he do that, because he's a vilian or dictator!? Or a sore loser. The people has rejected him and his poor leadership

Away from that, who is your President today?😂

Rufai is sounding so slow lately.

President Tinubu called Adeleke the eve of the election.

Honestly, some people don't even know how powerful a president is. If President Tinubu wanted to interfere with Osun election, Walahi there is nothing anybody can do about it apart from ranting.

The Osun state account freezing by EFCC is not even close to the SOE in Rivers state.

Annoyingly, if Rufai is one of the people the opposition are relying on as guardian in politics, then they are pure jokers

I pity u, u really think the president is God and can change democratuc laws at will? Let me tell u now there is pressure and facts a mad man will see u he will know it is over unless u want the country to burn. Adeleke himself warned tinubu not to allow what happen in a particular year happen again in osun.

U think tinubu can change the will of the people? When the people now their funny games?

Tinubu is only as powerful as the people allow him to press their mumu button.

Fubara is one of the most weakest governors in history of nigeria. Why didnt they declare SOE in benue or sokoto or maiduguri?

“It was after everything failed President tinubu congratulated him”

This Rufai is very slow brain wise,always portraying himself as been relevant mainwhile the reverse is the case,i wish you know what the Presidency can do if they want to their party to win,please Rufai stop being a comedian.

Answer the question. Was blood not thicker than water in 2023 or did you suddenly become sane after 2023? If you are now "sane", what makes you think other regions where Tinubu got the bulk of his votes from are still "insane?"

Yes, it wasn’t thinker than water in 2023, are you happy now?😂 Now update your OS to 2026, It’s now ketchup-thick but you are crying about it. Two men placed political maturity above their differences but it’s one particular people that are crying. You never talk wetin dey pain una. That’s how you were mad when Wike and Fubara chose reconciliation over grudges. Why peace dey always vex una?😂😂

Sebi you lots shouted that the SOE in Rivers state won't stay but that mandated 6 months passed.

Presidency can declared state of emergency in any region, all those things that Trump is doing, which power do you think he's using?

Why you hate the truth is what baffles me. Listen to yourself here again and ask yourself.. Am I alright? What do you mean by "walahiii there's nothing anyone can do if the President interfers? You think highmindedness is the right way forward? Sometimes una dey think say na una get monopoly of violence and destruction.., but what you fail to understand is Nigerians aren't all like that.

President can delcare SOE anywhere is a big delusional lie. Whybdisnt he declare it in other places and see himself even buhari new the limits of his power in certain situations.

Trump has not done anything without the backing of his people who are majority and also trump has not had his way in everything. Many things he wanted was regected even tho trump is a legitimate president who won majority american votes not like tinubu who rigged majority votes in a tight 3 horse race. Alot of nigerians dont support tinubu.

Like you saw in 2023, outcomes of elections go beyond the political differences between two men. Adeleke was a beneficiary of the people's anger. Tinubu will need more than just Adeleke's endorsement to win Osun State. When Osun voted Atiku in 2023, it wasn't because they loved him. They did it to spite Tinubu. Just as they defied him in 2011 by voting Ribadu over Jonathan. It's the headquarters of the Omoluabis for a reason.

I deliberately ignored the Fubara in your previous comments, let me revisit it now.

If Fubara was weakling, he would have been removed by the Rivers state assembly members, he stood his ground to some extent.

The mistake he made was he can't be fighting Wike and state assembly members at the same time while he wasn't close to the presidency.

The thread which I created about the possibility of state of emergency in Rivers state was less than 3 hours before president Tinubu eventually declared it. When the thread was first created, it's people like you that argued confidently that it's not possible.

Let me tell you little about the power of the presidency most especially in Nigeria.

As weakling as people thought about Goodluck Jonathan, did you know during his first term, a northern governor, Adamawa precisely, Murtala Nyarko, a sitting governor had to fled the country for over a year as he was declared wanted by the presidency. Are you aware of that?
