Tinubu:

“Even Atiku, who makes so much noise today, met me in politics at a time when he had only just retired from the Customs Service and entered partisan politics under the tutelage of Shehu Musa Yar’Adua.

I was already one of Yar’Adua’s trusted and brightest political minds within the hierarchy of the party. I understood the machinery of politics, the people, and the terrain long before Atiku found his footing.”

It's not about who has been older in politics Sir. Nigeria is not your Old Boy's Association.

The question that we're all waiting to verify from economic improvement without unbelievable inflation is this:

ARE YOU COMPETENT TO LEAD US TO THE NIGERIA OF OUR DREAMS SIR? IF YOU SAY YES, WHAT HAVE YOU SPENT THE LAST 3 years doing.

Your greatest rivals are Nigerians who are fed up Sir 🤗

Tinubu oniro deyy. Omo olode ide oniro.

You have no relationship with shehu. No dey throw us lamba for here. It is Atiku that is known worldwide as shehu's boy and that was one of the reason Obasanjo choose him as his vice out of respect to Shehu his former vice as Military President

No dey throw us lamba here abi you still think we are in the era of print media?


Hunnnn..

Yet, when Atiku says Tinubu is 90, his lackeys will begin to foam in the mouth. Do they think they know Tinubu more than Atiku?

Tinubu is a father to Atiku politically, which Atiku himself knows

That’s why the 2 of you will be retired in 2027.

You have destroyed Nigeria enough.

Make una go rest.

Has anyone noticed that TINUBU has never mentioned Obi's name...

He doesn't even know if Obi exists

Peter Obi is Tinubu's greatest rival online while Tinubu only acknowledged Atiku as his greatest rival in reality. Peter is not just in the game this time. If voting were to be done online, he would have got something similar to what he got in 2023.

In this coming election, I doubt if he would get half of what he pulled in 2023. People have started losing interest in him and the more interviews he attends, the more his followers get to see his weak points.

Fair enough. Assuming but not conceding that people are beginning to lose interest in Obi, who are they considering to vote for? Tinubu?

Obi and Atiku that keep questioning Asiwaju education background with their terrible English. Which one or them can compete with Asiwaju eloquently in vocabulary and comprehensive presentation

Listen to his lovely accent and question no more

Because he knows for a fact that obi is his real rival.

This man still think say na grandfather politics or who first come. Macron, your friend. How old was he when you started politics? Donald Trump was how old when he ran and beat Biden who had been in politics longer than him?

This set need to go. They have too much baggage from the past that they will be trying to settle scores instead of how things can be changed for the future. I hope this is enough signal for Nigerians to know that these guys are playing a game of seniority and turn by turn. It's always about them, not about the country. Let me help APC data boys, because both Atiku and Amaechi had wonderful things to say about their friend when he was with them. They are all in this together.

And that's how he's able to know that you're a few months away from 91 years. People should believe Atiku that PBAT is truly a few months away from 91.

He knows that Atiku is the only serious threat to his reelection. That's why he doesn't talk about others. He knows his real rival, and he knows the pretender too

Oga greatest rivalry is obi and you can't denied it,

Baawaa:
Tinubu is a father to Atiku politically, which Atiku himself knows

And Atiku is the father of Gringory Obi.

We hope that your Ikwerre cousins will step down for Igbo in 2039 .

Solid illiterate don drop lamba.

Focus on sharing posts to your WhatsApp group. Leave articulate comments for your superior.

Hunnnn..

That man too Dey lie.

Where Shehu Yaradua wan know am from?

Someone that schooled outside Nigeria and only returned to Nigeria in the early 90s.

The same Atiku that was reported to have been in contention for the SDP presidential ticket Abiola later won is who Tinubu said met him in under Shehu Yaradua’s tutelage?

Greatest rival? Lobatan! Does he mean Obi is not even close to being the first runner up.

Atiku & Obi go drag that second position though. E never sure for Atiku o.

Tinubu is such a generous man to call atiku his greatest rival 🤣

Lol!

I remember how you lots swore he will not win 1 Local Government in 2023. He ended up shocking you guys and your paymasters.

Now you’re back with rhetorics?

Una go learn

Oun naa fe eniyan to da fi s'ore. Orisirisi

What in the world would Shehu (RIP), a clean man in and out, be doing being friends with Baba 90?

Question for the e-rats

that mean that tilumbu is truly 90years

Tinubu doesn’t have any relationship with Yaradua Shehu.

The dots can’t be connected at all.

Tinubu was never present in Nigeria during the military junta, from his numerous lies he said he schooled in the US and worked with Deloitte for about 7 years then returned to Nigeria in 1992. How would he have been under Shehu Yaradua’s tutelage and met Atiku that had always been in Nigeria and in the customs and also a northerner?

The maths aren’t making sense.

A man is always a Man !

No be cho-cho -cho ... JAGABAN na MAN you be !

leave them make dem deh mumu up and down while you ROCK the stage .

This man talk too much about political experience!

Do that one put food on our table. What we need is good governance, who can bring dividends of democracy to common man in the country

so tilumbu is truly 90years

English is just a language.....

No doubt!

We must remind them that we have been in the game for long!

When we were standing up against the military, many of them could not even talk and some were even dinning with same people we were opposing. Peter Obi knows better!

This political minions need to reminded about the sacrifices we made before we got here.

They think our political structure was power grab and money influence, forgetting we had paid the price when they have not even started daydreaming of becoming democratic leaders.

Tinubu is currently roasting Atiku
