Still not upto the 10M votes BAT pulled in the APC primary

Ordinary primary lasan o

Where will Seyi and others see 10M votes to start with?

What Tinubu is telling the others candidates in the election, Obi and Co, is that before you even starts talking to me, secure 10M votes first

Jagaban for a reason

AntiChristian:
What is Seyi fighting for sef?

Who knows him in the other zones and states?

I see him becoming irrelevant later if he's not careful.

Fighting those who are fighting him.

He was part of the G5, wore the Asoebi, and helped Tinubu in 2023. What did he get in return? Disregard, disrespect, and maligning from the Tinubu presidency, while Fayose keeps running his mouth like he has diarrhoea of the month.

Then, within 24 hours of declaring for president, terrorists and bandits wreaked havoc, raiding villages and kidnapping school pupils and teachers. That was an opportunity for the Tinubu government to work with him to rescue the victims. Instead, they blamed Makinde for the kidnap , trying to rubbish him

franchasng:
Seyi will surely win Oyo on a landslide, Janganbandit should subtract Oyo from his rigging plans cos na otilo

Now the crowd are not bought, right?

What did he get in return? Are they not geting money every month? He should also work on his state IGR. What does he expect to get? Why are the other G5 members not like him? You are the one viewing the kidnap case like a season film thriller. Terrorists are all around in Nigeria and yes the state governors of each terrorised states should share the blame as well as the LGs and FG.

Winning jst one state does not make you the president.....

Get your pvc

Who is asiwaju jagaban?

Na lie, makinde can never win with only Ibadan votes, so they know where to caste their votes so as not to be wasted.

why you dey answer them e go too shock them jan16 they forgot okeogun with 13 lga who hate makinde,for seizing lga funds , they forgot ogbomosho, even the ibadan he will not win mark it down

You have a valid point . At times I do surprise the way Wike go scot free from all the things he does . How can one person be this powerful.

AMINDA:
Same as presidential in Oyo state. Makinde is running to help his down ballot candidates. Supporting Tinubu in 2023 cost him the elections of his down ballot candidates and what did he get in return? Betrayal, blackmail, embarrassment and Tinubu backing Wike to force him out of the PDP all for his own selfish interests. Wike and Tinubu always feared that Seyi Makinde will fly the PDP presidential ticket and did all of that to ensure he wasn't on the ballot. Same thing they did to Peter Obi and LP. Not only was this undemocratic, it was the height of cowardice. So much for "turn of the South."

P.S: Makinde is really serious about his opposition to Tinubu because he realises and rightly so, that all Yoruba leaders cannot be seen to support Tinubu. Tinubu never supported Obasanjo all through his 8 years and that is the reason why he eventually became president shortly after. All the PDP-supporting Yoruba politicians fizzled out of relevance at the end of Obasanjo's tenure.

Ibadan and Oke Ogun, then pieces here and there, o pari

All their Governors since 1999 have been from Ibadan, bar 4 years of the late Alao-Akala who got there by providence, and lost re-election as incumbent to an Ibadan man.
Seyi had someone in mind not even from Ibadan. His hands were forced when APC went to Ibadan.

Oga juz know that ogbomosho and okeogun can never support madkinde, after seizing our lga funds u go see am na jan 16 no far, do we even know him in okeogun? If not for senator alleluia who is now his enemy from iseyin to kishi, we are fucking apc, check his last election even his deputy governor lost his local govt in kishi u go see am

Local Champion. Until you go outside of your comfort zone and are able to pool massive crowd before I will take you serious.

You cunningly left out the disregard, disrespect, and maligning he received from the Tinubu presidency. You also left out the constant attacks from Fayose.

Suddenly, the LGs and state governors should share the blame. But when Tinubu was blaming Goodluck Jonathan for insecurity, asking him to resign and telling him that, on matters of insecurity, the buck stops at his table, did you tell Tinubu to also call out the governors and LGs and say they should share the blame?

The standard seems to change depending on who is being discussed.

i juz pity am cuz if tinubu wins again yeeee

I'm still very much open to anybody that wish or want to take the bet that Seyi makinde will not get up to 60k votes in coming presidential election, Yes.

If you take a look at that crowds, you will notice that the ground there filled with men and those men you are looking at are Fuji lovers who came out to watch Pasuma performance.

I am Ibadan boy resides in Abuja. I can tell you how much my people love Fuji, most especially when it comes to Osupa, Pasuma, Currency and other Fuji stars. We can go to any length to see their performance.

Seyi Makinde ba wo?

Underestimate GSM at your peril🙂‍↔️

Everywhere choke

They said southwest is in the bag abi

oya na sha no shout rigging when e sup ooo

Stop deceiving people must of those are rented crowd from neighbouring states, stop deceiving yourself ,we know how it was done[quote author=Penguin2 post=140710350]I must confess that I’m surprised because I thought Seyi Makinde was just another presidential candidate for the sake of it but his recent activities show someone serious about the contest.

Bear in mind that Oyo State is supposed be part of Tinubu’s stronghold and one of Southwest’s largest voting bloc just after Lagos.

Now, if Lagos is shaky for Tinubu, and Makinde seems to have taken Oyo, Osun people are threatening not to go where Adeleke is pointing, then where is Tinubu’s stronghold?

We dont need to talk too much..
We will let the momentum and works of our Presidential Candidate speak for us..
Seyi Makinde For President.. It starts at home..The Old Oyo Empire..Tomorrow Katsina pic.twitter.com/mxfVvuNs6F

No

fergie001:
This is an election Obi could have stayed out of because he will return poor numbers he never imagined. However, I think his aim is to stop Tinubu. Without Obi on the ballot, there will be apathy in the SE. The SE is a zone before now who do not even care about elections. They sit in their houses on election days to discuss the 1979 election whilst the present one is ongoing, Obi changed that. It's also a zone where rich men won't come and decide the votes, you will be beaten in the PU in your house even if you are Governor.

Election rigging is helped by apathy! So, if they come out like in 2023, it will be very difficult and tight because everyone will vote for 'their' son.
Obi is not contesting to win like in 2023, safe to say he is contesting to stop the President.
.
It's my opinion.

For me there are only two things Wich can and will stop obi for 2027..

1. Rigging by INEC

2. Atiku's influence in the north...

Aside that ,if it went free and fair, obi will win...but will struggle to win this time around, because a lot of Governors will work for tinubu unlike in 2023...

Upon rented crowd abi, no need to argue, election will soon come

Any LGA Tinubu win outside; Ekiti, Ogun, Ondo is nothing but rigging.

Tinubu is not electable...he didn't win in 2023 and will still not get close in 2027 except through mindless election rigging and voter intimidation using thugs he is known for.


The Tinubu you are campaigning for is nowhere to be found....even the France President he allegedly pretended to go see has abandoned him and went to United Nations General Assembly holding in USA while Tinubu is still hiding in some hospice in France....how low can you guys sink Nigeria to? You went to visit someone and the person abandoned you to go visit another person and shame no gree you to leave the person's house and go back to your own house, is that not a shameful act to you guys?


You guys want some criminal elements to be ruling Nigeria from proxy in the name of Tinubu who hardly knows what's going on? Make una fear God and also have pity on your future and that of your children na

manuelkel:
Your opinion is staged and wack. Get a job mate, ooh!! I remember APC have no job recruitments for you sheep.

There is practically no difference between the inanities the chap spews as political analysis and the drunken mumblings of a serial alcoholic in cheap drinking joint.

Peter Obi is not in the election to win and yet he was able recruit Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to join his ticket.

How many politicians in Nigeria both North and South can match Kwankwaso in political ambition?

It is crass tomfoolery to denigrate the strengths of other key political actors just because one wants to amplify the strengths of their preferred candidate...

He will oyo win osun even lagos juz no shout rigging na my own be that e go tok shock una, the man u guys are playing with is 100 steps ahead of you tbh sentiment aside we remember the gangup like yesterday, in the Apc, the cabals and all everone said he was going to loose even bet9ja gave him high odds, but when results started trooping in a lot cried like babies now he has the power and you think he will loose otida

yinkus6750:
2027 election is going to be highly interesting
Spoilers everywhere, split votes across all regions.
Shocking outcome likely to be expected

There is nothing like spoilers , people will vote for who they want , just like it happens in any sane society , Kanye west contested for the president of USA and got 50 votes… nobody called him a spoiler, people are free to vote whoever they like , unlike this place where they are being forced or using fear to control the process.. i wish we can change the voting system, America takes a week if not more to vote, you can easily walk there and cast your vote when it’s Convenient for you but here , we are stuck with archaic systems but current with inflation and things that does not serve our people right .. there’s freedom to vote and be voted for so let the best candidate win

Obi needn’t stay out of this election because he will win the election and this time nobody can rig it.

I told you this about Otti in Abia in 2023 and I’m telling you now.

Keep fooling yourself with this nonsense post.

I am an Ibadan man, and let me tell you what happened yesterday. People came out to enjoy themselves. They came to dance to Taye Currency, Tiri Leather and the other musicians invited to the concert. The event was deliberately packaged with entertainment, music and political mobilisation. So please stop deceiving yourself that everybody who attended was there because of a governor. Ibadan people know how to enjoy themselves.

Since you want to turn a music concert into evidence of political popularity, then let us talk about the issues you conveniently don't want to discuss.

What exactly has this administration done for the ordinary people whose name it constantly uses in its propaganda?

The same government that keeps shouting “government of the poor” has been accused of forceful land grabbing through political allies. There are allegations surrounding the use of global Certificates of Occupancy to override existing titles and red-copy surveys issued under previous administrations. People have lost properties and investments, and some families have allegedly been pushed into unbearable financial and emotional hardship. If these allegations are false, then publish the documents and let the public see the truth.

And what about the alleged compensation paid to a property owner after the demolition of a fully completed luxury four-bedroom bungalow? If the reported ₦460,000 compensation is correct, how exactly can anybody call that justice?

Then come and explain the money.

Explain the ₦30 billion Bodija intervention fund. Explain exactly what was received, what remains in the account, what has been spent and what has been done for the victims. The government has its own explanation, but the questions are still there and the public deserves complete transparency.

Explain the reported ₦50 billion federal intervention approval and the difference between what was approved and what was actually released.

Explain the billions being spent on projects while ordinary people are being told there is no money.

Explain the two surveillance aircraft reportedly purchased for ₦7.7 billion. If that money was properly spent, publish the procurement documents, specifications, contracts and payment records. Let the people judge for themselves.

Explain Iwo Road. The excuse was that transport operators would be moved into a properly planned terminal to reduce congestion. Yet look at what is gradually happening around the area again. What was supposed to be a lasting solution should not become another abandoned or poorly managed government project.

And please, don't lecture anybody about caring for the poor while people are raising questions about land grabbing, government assets, procurement and the management of public funds.

What about the alleged ₦1 billion COVID expenditure? What happened to it? What was purchased? Who supplied it? What remains today? These are legitimate questions.

Ajimobi's hospital was built as part of an attempt to decentralise healthcare and reduce pressure on Adeoyo. Instead of simply preserving and improving the facility, the government converted it for COVID-related purposes and changed its name. Then came the governor's own COVID episode and all sorts of claims and counterclaims about what happened there. If everything was properly handled, publish the accounts and end the controversy.

And then there are questions about alleged overseas properties, including the much-discussed house in Texas. If that allegation is rubbish, let the evidence settle it. If it is true, Oyo people deserve to know how it was acquired.

This is exactly why Africa remains backward: we turn political entertainment into evidence of good governance while refusing to demand accountability from the people controlling public resources. Give people music, food, mobilisation and political speeches, and suddenly they are expected to forget everything else.

No.

A concert is a concert. A crowd at a concert is not an audit report. Musicians performing on a stage are not proof of good governance.

I am an Ibadan man. I know my people. Give them Taye Currency, Tiri Leather, Pasuma or any other popular artiste and they will come out to have a good time. Don't confuse entertainment with political approval. Yesterday's event itself was explicitly designed to combine entertainment with political mobilisation.

And to those defending this government blindly: stop insulting people's intelligence.

If you believe the allegations are false, open the books.

Show us the contracts.

Show us the procurement records.

Show us the land documents.

Show us the compensation records.

Show us the intervention accounts.

Show us the project costs.

Show us where the money went.

That is what serious governance looks like.

Not Fuji music. Not rented crowds. Not political slogans. Not propaganda.

The people of Oyo State deserve answers, not another concert.

helinues:
Obidients are now the one promoting Makinde, a presidential candidate as Peter Obi

That's what you get when you don't have political ideology or direction

If you aren't scared of Obi's popularity, why must you mention his name on post that doesn't concern him??

Obi himself knows it won't be free and fair.
Even you know it won't be free and fair.

In the recent by-election in Udu....look at this result..what do you see? The total is 17 oooo but look at this and INEC nodded their head and counted, this one is even small! Imagine what a Wike or Yahaya Bello will do/
People refused to come out and this happened, head or tail, It's Tinubu's to lose or there will be a forced supplementary.

I'm always suprise at the way you political pundits put out narrative, you're galavanting with makinde's opposition to Tinubu's presidency but see Soludo's opposition to obi's presidency as betrayal. Are we not practicing democracy?

Ogbonoso/Oke-Ogun are majorly APC give or take so what difference does it make? Seyi had in mind to go there but it was still APC that forced his hand to Ibadan. Why APC no give them ticket? Dem still give Ibadan man so Seyi no like una, APC sef no like una? It's a free world but it's omituntun's time.
