Abgi park well!! The northeners unseated GEJ and not you and your paltry 500,000 votes
you forgot that his decision to let buhari go, change the whole game. in addition to that, he was not selfish with his choice of VP when he was given the slot, he choose a candidate that added value both in number and experience to what buhari had at hand and eventually, GEJ was kicked out.

Wen Buhari was in CPC, didn't he win Jonathan in d North? Politics is a game of numbers, one vote can make a difference.

No, it won't be another June 12, it would be the end of Nigeria, and even you will not be on Nairaland by now, it was the best he could do, he would have been Gbagbod by now and he would hate the day he was born. The last election was the most heated in Nigeria's history, the best any wise person should do is to let the will of the people prevail.

That was actually the beginning of my grouse with BAT & OBJ. angry

I sponsored a candidate back then when the looter created additional LG in LAG., and OBJ as the president request PDP members not to participate in the vote as he would cancel the LG election, we boycotted the election as advised, all the spends became a waste and OBJ could not stop the fruadulent additional LG BAT created before finally converting same to LCDA. Thanks to Pastor Prof. Osinbajo. (The pastor behind the professional looter, offering professional legal service to the crook).

And what we see thereafter was the handpicking of candidates from his bedroom in Bourdillon without recourse to due process and democratic principles. angry

Imagine, the imperial capitalist is now the biggest landlord in Africa at the expense of the people.
No wonder you hate him so much, I will keep this for reference purpose.

When people fail to realise that electioneering doesn't begin & end on the day people file out to cast their votes then such people would not appreciate what Sen.Tinubu is saying. It was to his credit that the now defunct Action Congress Of Nigeria teamed up with other progressive Forces to firm APC, His calculations also brought up The incumbent President as her Flag bearer which without it would have been difficult to unseat Ex-Pres.Jonathan. Credit must be given to whoever deserves it.

Do you think he didn't think about that , you forget the army itself is also tribalised, he wouldn't have lasted three months on the seat. The international community was also against jonathan, there was nothing he could do other than leave honorably.

Jagaban & Lai have same calling, lying.

Hausa-Fulani oligarch, coupled with their Niger & Chad alien voters, supported by the under aged almajari votes from Kano, Katsina& Sokoto states unseated GEJ & nothing else.
Actually, to be precise, BORN TO RULE FULANI MENTALITY unseated GEJ. They used Boko Haram and propaganda to unseat him.

As we are now finding out, you can gain political office by propaganda but you cannot govern by propaganda.

Buhari, notwithstanding that he is a former military person is more daft than GEJ.

Tinubu is just an opportunist like Buhari. It is about them and not the people.

Did you put the NORTH in your equation? This is not the West fighting, this is North-East, North-West, North-Central, South-west and even part of South-South against South-East and South-South. Hello sir, it is not June 12, It is closer to Nigeria Vs Biafra, but thank God it didn't happen, the IB allowed common sense to prevail.

Amaechi lost in his home state & region to PDP, Tinubu narrowly escaped defeat from PDP in his own region, the core North gave Buhari 11 out of his 15 million votes.
Oga, that's ain't correct.

Tinubu delivered 5 out of the 6 states in the south west. In Ekiti, he got over 40% of the votes for PMB.

He had a comfortable victory in the south west despite the dollarisation of the south-west by the ineffectual buffoon.

Infact, if Tinubu hadn't delivered the south-west for PMB, PDP would have won the presidential election.

Go and analyse the presidential election results again.

Nobody said the North doesn't matter, If they don't Tinubu would have vied for the Presidency himself, It's a Coalition of Forces, without Tinubu and ACN, Buhari would have failed again, without Buhari and the North, Tinubu would've failed at the Presidential level, and the brain behind it all is the Jagaban himself, Shikena!

IlajeGal1:
The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has said his most difficult battle ever in life is ousting an incumbent president Goodluck Jonathan in the 2015 gen­eral elections. Tinubu revealed this in an interview with senior editors at The Sun ahead of the Sun Man of the Year Award which the astute politician will be honoured in Lagos later today.


In his words, Tinubu during the interview said,“Presi­dent Jonathan’s battle was the toughest. When you are fighting the incumbent, it is tough. You had the chal­lenge of terrorism; you had a class that is divided and a nation that was almost moving from its focus of religious tolerance and di­versity to religious division. You had a system that had been corrupted beyond any­body’s imagination. People were being bombarded with money in Lagos. But you have to forget personal temptation”.


On how he engaged for­mer President Obasanjo on the political field, Tinubu said, “Obasanjo, during his time disobeyed court order on the disburse­ment of money for local governments in Lagos but you knew where he was coming from; you just had to be careful. That period was also a bit challenging. There are different situa­tions that you had to face with different strategies. But to unseat an incumbent president in Africa was the toughest battle. It was not easy".


On his role in politics as a politi­cal godfather, Tinubu further said “Godfather is not negative but godlords are. They are the mafias. Godfathers ex­ist even in the church. If you call me a godfather, it is alright. I have many chil­dren everywhere.” Explain­ing his position further, Tinubu added that, “You are talking about imposition in a democracy. If you are a strong adviser, you would get blackmailed; you have seen great quali­ties in an individual and one that has capacity to do good; you identify those you believe can deliver on the evolution of good gov­ernance.


"I have a responsi­bility to recommend. My party has a right to reject the person. When I identi­fied Babatunde Fashola, some people shouted impo­sition but when he started to blossom like flowers in the garden, Fashola now became their child. The umbilical chord is buried and the baby has survived. In democracy, sometimes, you have the sprinkle of dictatorship too when you know that you are working on the overall interest of the people. You have facts that some people do not have; so you do not get angry.”

I wish Nigerians could call it their own victory too. Like those who cannot pay their kids school fees abroad.

Or those whose life savings are getting worse.

Also ask those workers at Truworths and elsewhere who just lost their jobs.

Let me save this

So this is the reason why you hate Tinubu and APC
grin

Because you lost a LG post? So your bitterness is personal and not because of APC's performance

Selfish

Naivety. Buhari had 12m votes from the same North in 2011. He didn't win.

It is submission of his (Tinubu's) structure in the SW to Buhari that was the game changer.

If Tinubu's structure did not work for Buhari in 2015, you will just see 1.5m votes for GEJ in Lagos, and 500k in Oyo, Ondo, Ogun etc and 1 (with no one to fight for him in the SW). That's what you guys don't know.

It is not about the aboslute numbers of votes alone, but the opportunity cost.

Jagaban 1 of Africa. The man that single handedly destroyed PDP...
he didn't destroyed PDP as a party, he only succeeded in taking away the mantle of leadership/power from the most quiet president that believes so much in democracy.
PDP may bounced back if APC refused to worked on the systems. Nigeria needs a leader that will severe/less the economic tribulations and pains that has befallen them. The economy is bad but I know with time we shall reap from whatever the government of the country plans to sowed.

The man should not take glory but should remember that without the helps of former PDP member from the north n PMB's reputation he would not have had a prayer. The Lion of Bourdilon documentary shocked him to his roots. Arisiri ti tu!! Ha!!
But the victory made it worth it. Lagos was as good as lost, if not for last minute abrakadaba APC would have lost big time with Tinubu being the major factor.
You are part of the winning team now but Nigeria allows people who have amassed wealth illigally to xontinue to wield power n walk freely as if they did notuing wrong. How do we expect CHANGE! I mean positivr change.
