Gmb's Candidacy: Where Are The Northern Voices -samuel Ajayi by joeyfire(op): 1:21pm On Mar 12, 2015
TINUBU’S HIDDEN AGENDA; SAMUEL AJAYI

WHERE ARE NORTHERN VOICES? As media practitioners and consultants, we used to do one thing while analysing national issues: who is commenting and who is not. What are they saying, what are they not The aim is to see if an issue initially presented as a national one is actually an ethnic agenda. It is in this context that I have been doing an analysis of the Buhari presidential challenge and I asked: WHERE ARE NORTHERN VOICES? It has been a 'research' I have been doing since January till this year. Granted that Buhari campaigned in the North and pulled massive crowds but where are Northern opinion leaders?

On mainstream and social media, the vehemence of the Buhari push is being spear- headed by Yorubas! In all his official engagements, within and outside the country, check the pictures: you wont find a Northerner behind him.The odd men out apart from South- westerners are John Oyegun and Rotimi Amaechi. Yet you see Tinubu, Fashola, Fayemi, Amosun, Lai Mohammed, Mamora and co. I may be proved wrong, but only once have I seen Tambuwal in photo with Buhari! Kwankwaso has quietly withdrawn himself! Atiku hardly talks even when his boy runs Buhari's media organ of the campaign. Wammako, Shettima, el-Rufai don't talk. While Obasanjo is talking every day, Babangida, Abdusalami, Ciroma, Coomasie, Lawal Kaita hardly say anything. Is there something going on?

I spoke with a Northern senior friend of mine from Sokoto State who used to head a federal government electronic media arm on why the North is not giving the general the media and moral support required, here are his words: "We want power to return to the North but it seems you Yorubas have a hidden agenda with the way your people are pushing Buhari and turning it into a Yoruba crusade." I prodded him further but he politely declined to say more. I continued this 'research' on Facebook. Whenever someone posts a pro- Buhari or anti-GEJ material, I also usually do a demographic analysis of 'likes' and comments and again, I discovered that it is mostly 75-80% Yoruba thing.

Even the Remove-Jega- don't-remove-Jega campaign is PURELY a South-west 'headache'. If you doubt, do your own media survey. Does it mean the feelers are true that most Northern leaders are uncomfortable with the way Tinubu has 'approximated' the change 'struggle'? Are they aware of any agenda some of us are not? I asked these questions because no matter the noise we are making here, high-wire, high stake politicking is going on at the highest level.

Abi? Northerners are not really noise-makers like we Southerners, hence why they keep dominating the South politically. While our SE/SS brothers are shouting "GEJ till...", the Northerners are mobilizing their people to go and pickup their PVCs to do the needful. Na game of numbers, and right now.. if the PVC collection rate is anything to go by, Buhari is on safely cruise-control all the way to Aso Villa. cheesy

The reason why u don't hear the voice of Northern opinion leaders is because Northerners are very calculative. They play better politics than we southerners particularly the Igbo's and my people, the south- south people who always play very bitter politics from the bottom of their hearts.

They play better politics than we southerners particularly the Igbo's and my people, the south- south people who always play very bitter politics from the bottom of their hearts. The north are busy mobilising their people for this election, urging them to go collect their PVCs. while many southerners, the Igbo's and my Niger delta people in particular are busy saying Buhari didn't go to school, Buhari is sick. he has cancer, Buhari will die etc. like my younger brother who is ready to quarrel anybody that says anything against GEJ. Meanwhile he has no voter cards and doesn't care to have it too. As for me, I want change.
Re: Gmb's Candidacy: Where Are The Northern Voices -samuel Ajayi by Rawani: 3:04pm On Mar 12, 2015
To be honest, the relative silence is mostly strategic. For example, the born to rule propaganda is known to us, and we know how the North has, and still dominates governance, therefore any statement uttered unnecessarily stands the risk of being misconstrued as 'born to rule', therefore it's a safer bet to act instead of speak.

The efficacy of this strategy is self evident, as it forms the premise of this discourse. However the North's position with regard to GMB's campaign is unmistakable; one of unanimous support and cliff edge loyalty, to the best of my knowledge.
Re: Gmb's Candidacy: Where Are The Northern Voices -samuel Ajayi by ManMountain(m): 3:04pm On Mar 12, 2015
The silence of the North on GMB is very tactical and strategic, only a political novice would not see that, they don't want it to look like GMB candidacy is a northern affair, but try to project it as a national movement.
Re: Gmb's Candidacy: Where Are The Northern Voices -samuel Ajayi by nedu666: 3:08pm On Mar 12, 2015
the north including d govs that decamped, arewa congress, politicians, jega hve realised that they hve been scamed by tinubu and yorubas , by adopting a sick buhari with d sole purpose of doing a yaradus on them. but are ashamed to admit it so the best thing is to move to plan b. support jonathan and wait till 2019 or plan c back buhari, win d election, force osibanjo to resign at gun point using his purported resignation letter he signed or assasinate him, then appoint someone amenable to them. they are not quite for notin, they ve been scammed and are shocked that yorubas wan catch them mugu again.

Re: Gmb's Candidacy: Where Are The Northern Voices -samuel Ajayi by judiciarypalava: 3:55pm On Mar 12, 2015
Honestly there is no need trying to play politics here.
This Tinubu's desperation and sudden S/western die heard relationship with GMB is not going down well with some big shots in the North. A University class mate of mine in those days in UNIZIK through which four of our class mates got jods in one of the ministries in Niger state with the help of his multi millionaire father(name withheld). Told me in confidence that 100% support for Buhari is a very dicey game. That they are still regretting what happened to Yaradua.

That they did not understand what Obasanjo's plan was, all they thought, they have destabilized the South with Obasanjo and the nomination of GEJ as vice. That if it were to be that Yaradua was from the South and GEJ from the North. That as far as they know the South has taken their turn. Meaning that they will not consider what happened, after all you played politics with your turn.

Just few years after, almost the same group is at it again. That the initial game plan was Tambuwal or Kwamkwaso. He said that if not for their religion and agreement bound by Koran, that they would have unanimously made it clear their stand in the presidential election. Now they are between the devil and the blue sea.
That they are just praying that he wins, then they will tell him how to handle Tinubu and co, while also praying that God should spare his life beyond the 8years of his tenure.

Ordinarily that they would have waited for just four years more since they have waited this long and could not return it back to the North immediately after Yaradua's demise with all their gimmicks.
Lets not deceive ourselves, the West is more interested and more catholic than the pope here.
Just managed to remember some things he told me because l was doubting him then, moreover, my mind was on getting a contract paper he was pushing for me through his dad's office.
Lets see what the game changer will be.

God bless Nigeria

Op you said you did research but you only sited Facebook and one man from sokoto, is that what is now called research in Nigeria??

Did you see the percentage of PVC collected by northerners? ?

If Buhari rub shoulders with the likes you have mentions does that make him a better candidate? ? Or won't that soil the fact that his selling change??

Why are you so interested on ethic groups, are yorubas not Nigerians?? What are you implying by yorubas have a hidden agenda??

This is the kind of thread you create when you are having nightmares abt march28

Yet you see Tinubu, Fashola, Fayemi, Amosun, Lai Mohammed, Mamora and co. I may be proved wrong, but only once have I seen Tambuwal in photo with Buhari! Kwankwaso has quietly withdrawn himself! Atiku hardly talks even when his boy runs Buhari's media organ of the campaign. Wammako, Shettima, el-Rufai don't talk. While Obasanjo is talking every day, Babangida, Abdusalami, Ciroma, Coomasie, Lawal Kaita hardly say anything. Is there something going on?

Even the Remove-Jega- don't-remove-Jega campaign is PURELY a South-west 'headache'. If you doubt, do your own media survey. Does it mean the feelers are true that most Northern leaders are uncomfortable with the way Tinubu has 'approximated' the change 'struggle'? Are they aware of any agenda some of us are not?

The North has long bursted those unclad political greedy folks from Southwest,as having ethnic agenda of returning from back door.Imagine that called Buhari names in 2003,being in same party with Tinubu his worst political rival in Southwest,to support Buhari?.Well,truth is that,North knows better now,and wouldnt want Yaradua situation being masked as "change" again.

grin grin grin

If you're so sure the north isn't with GMB and the hausa/fulani who were recently insulted as born-throway by PEJ will vote GEJ, why then are you bothering with this long epistle? Why not just give this assurance to GEJ so he can go back to his abandoned presidential duties in abuja and stop his daily pilgrimage to Yorubaland for prayers, initiations, rituals and what-have-you? i mean there should be no need for all this his sweating in some covens in the SW cheesy

Of course you can't because you sure don't believe the tales by moonlight you just posted wink

If the man who wrote that is truly a yoruba, he would remember that the SW is always in the forefront of every struggle against injustice in this country. Every popular movement in this country has been spearheaded by the SW so it shouldn't be surprising that the GMB charge too is being pushed mainly by the SW but remember.....an hausa/fulani cattle rearer won't be found on facebook. You'll see him in the savannah with his transistor radio in his left hand, sanda in his right and his PVC in his pocket. he has no use for twitter or clicking likes on NL grin.

If the man who wrote that is truly a yoruba, he would remember that the SW is always in the forefront of every struggle against injustice in this country. Every popular movement in this country has been spearheaded by the SW so it shouldn't be surprising that the GMB charge too is being pushed mainly by the SW but remember.....an hausa/fulani cattle rearer won't be found on facebook. You'll see him in the savannah with his transistor radio in his left hand, sanda in his right and his PVC in his pocket. he has no use for twitter or clicking likes on NL grin.

So GMB election bid to put in place an Osibanjo presidency through the back door is a struggle against "injustice" by the yorubas. Guy don't make me laugh. For your information buhari's campaign is a cabal plot and it will fail. Secondly yorubas have never been at the forefront of popular struggle. They have played their role like other Nigerians.
