Politics is not a zero sum game.


Nobody cuts a deal better than Tinubu. As a pragmatic politician, he will cut a deal and get out better than most.

These guys keep making Tinubu god. Tinubu this, Tinubu that. what's all this na. Later they will start saying Tinubu is too powerful when they are the one making him so by calling his name per second on any national issue. Even when the man did nothing, they attribute everything to him. Jagaban infact I salute you.

If they don't reach a consensus,I see David Mark coming in as Senate President....PDP senator will definitely vote him in (46) and the factions of APC if divided will not reach (46) in number.

I see what happened in the Tambuwal's saga been re-enacted.PDP would side a faction of the APC nd elect a senate president contrary to whomever the APC national leadership wants

After fighting off cabals, looters and thieves, its a pity and so unfortunate that our destiny as a nation is now in the hand of one man - a power drunk and unrepentant drug lord Bola Tinubu

Good morning Nigeria!

Bia, calling a spade a soil redistribution implement is nothing but big grammar. A spade is a spade! Tinubu held the winning card in the last elections and he decided to hand it to Buhari. If GEJ had won Lagos by a landslide, won't Buhari have finally retired from politics? Tinubu started the movement and he shopped for a candidate that he knows can win in the states where he has no control over. APC is Tinubu's company. He only gives franchise rights to those he wishes to give.

If Buhari ever wants to achieve a sanitized government, he must learn to slate down the rules to all. Tinubu has been bragging all around town to be the brain behind his success, that's false! He only played a part in the success. Buhari was an already established force before this whole APC thing. As it stands right now he sud know his place in APC n not act like a Godfather to a grandfather. No one sud ever let him dictate the doings of the APC, cos that's where the problem will emanate.

A Senator attending the induction programme for national assembly members at the Hilton Hotel, said, “the issue of senate president is the personal issue of the senators so all leaders who are insisting on producing the senate president should know that it is our affair and not the thinking of APC leaders.
“We are going to ensure that our leader emerges among us and not through any form of imposition from any quarters.

Kwankwaso contributed more votes to GMB in Kano alone than Tinubu did in the entire SW.I think his influence is actually overblown.He does not really posses much influence outside Lagos
thank u! I'm overwhelmed by his aggrandizement in Buhari's success.

Since Buhari has been doing it all alone without mingling with corrupt people like Tinubu and co. What did he achieve?
Stop deceiving yourself. It's just an advice

Tinubu held the WINNING cardhuh Was he going to come out as a presidential candidate in the face of Nigeria? Aside Lagos do u think Tinubu is of any political value? Buhari has single handedly chased votes out of OBJ, Yaradua n GEJ. Check the previous elections u will c how close Buhari has been coming. The west has no power mandate big enough to unseat GEJ weda crook or crone . The choice of words, "shopped for a candidate" isn't right in this context. In the real sense Buhari didn't have to contest for a space in the party. Without him there won't be a defiant APC. Who go carry sweet for mouth n e go say make another man chop am? My dear, the most important entity in APC is Buhari. Take him away n APC will be like APGA trying to unseat PDP.
Glory claimants!!!

he didn't achieve cos all previous elections were rigged. His underlying success is GEJ, who allowed for a free and fair election without stiff manipulation. If GEJ had rigged it.... Bro, think again...

The senator should choose their president based on merit and let it be in the interest of the nation.Anything contrary to this might spell doom for apc and they should allow selfish interest to becloud their decision.Naija will be great again!!!

Why not recommend that Tinubu be expelled from APC, when Tinubu was putting it together against all odds where were your folks or are they blind?.
Tinubu is a success live with it or die trying.

It will soon dawn on Tinubu that Nigeria is too big a country to be greedily controlled by just him, this ain't Lagos for crying out loud!
wrong my friend, you are wrong here... No insult intended sir.

It is the north that is wiser than him. When GMB won most of SW states the north decided to rig all their states with high margin of votes so that they can contain Tinubu‘s ambition of having much say in the in-coming goverment.

Am loving this whole scenario because it is taken APC almost 1month to agree on which zone what & what will go. “Onwebeghi ife ha furu“

As i said before & still saying now: the north is too sophisticated politically for Tinubu to control. GMB followed him up & down cos he needed him(tinubu) to win the SW‘s vote.

Now that GMB has gotten power...lolzzz it time the north tells tinubu, who the master is in this game.

More & serious fight still ahead.

which winning card? Tell me how many votes APC got from south west. There is not state in SW where GEJ/PDP didnt get up to 45% votes. Compare it with the north where people just sat down & where writing GSM numbers.

The only winning card Tinubu had was bringing out a northerner against a southerner. The north needed power back by all means & they shew it with the amount of votes they were quoting in writing for APC.

Why didnt Tinubu contest himself & he was strugling to be VP. If not cos of religion Tinubu would have been our vp elect.

Change has been bringing surprises since the creation. The game plan ahead may be too much for Tinubu to predict or control. We are all watching how the events unfold in Nigeria during the coming years.
