if buhari is not careful of those trying to limit tinubu's influence in the apc,by the time tinubu is through with him,he should start packing out of aso rock come 2019.I wonder how buhari would believe politicians that cannot even win their polling unit will limit tinubu's influence in the southwest. smh.

vislabraye:


Tinubu is influential. I can say that his effort made up at least 55% of the victory in the last election. But don't expect Buhari to be like Gej who left without a fight. The best Tinubu revenge Tinubu could take is to betray Buhari at the polls the way he betrayed Ribadu in other to support Gej.

TPAND:
Tinubu can never float a party that can win Presidency without the help of the North. If you disagree, history is there for you.

APC won because of Buhari's influence in the North. North is the majority, majority they say carry the vote.
If he trickles down his influence and power, Buhari's party will defeat his candidates hands down. Tinubu has lost out. He has learnt the hardway! He is not but a local warrior.

some north east, all off north west but north central is not all buhari... the sw is the tilting ace ... se ss and parts of north central for gej while part of north central, north west and parts of north east went buhari... its the sw that determined the rise and fall... check back your facts

OgbeniSamm:


let south west close rank with south east and south south, then u will knw that ur north is in the minority. North can never win election on its own, it needs support of 1 or 2 other geo political zones. Same goes to others. May God gv our leaders wisdom to reciv sense. Hausa/Fulani is currently nacking Yoruba akpako. Nxt time, yoruba leaders will look b4 they leap.

“Just imagine how easy it was to get the transcript of all that transpired when he was receiving a segment of APC chieftains from South West who paid him a solidarity visit last weekend after keeping them waiting for over five hours”, the source added.
Tinubu was quoted as saying during the meeting that he regrets building APC and giving Buhari a platform to become president. “We all knew he didn’t merit to be president, but you know how we politicians behave when we are desperate for electoral position; we beg. That was how President Buhari always and frequently came to my private house here in Ikoyi with his entourage, which included that Nasir (El-Rufai) and others. Now they occupy Aso Rock and they think Asiwaju Tinubu is finished. He is using people I brought from obscurity against me. Now they say my mouth is smelling. They say I’m no longer relevant. The battle line is drawn, I will show them the meaning of Asiwaju”, he allegedly told the gathering.

What influence does a man whose party has never produced a governor (prior to APC's formation) in his home state has?


Prior to 2015 election, The so-called popular man lost even in the North to GEJ (a southerner). Probably you were too young or your history teacher died so early in life, else, he would have taught you that the late M.K.O Abiola defeated Usman Tofa (a notherner) even in his own state. You think elections are won by so-called 'popularity' as against machinery? 2019 will clear your doubts.



Funny enough, your saviours so-called popularity has been blown away no thanks to his economic somersault policy. By then, I'm sure he'll be defeated even in his polling unit in Daura.

One may not like Tinubu and his tendency to annoint candidates,appoint cabinet members and other govt appointees,but pmb may not have won the election without Tinubu's machinery.
Without that machinery,PMB won't have won because even if he had won tru majority votes got mainly from the North in d 1st ballot ,losing the SS,SE and the SW wud have denied him the required 2/3 spread and in a runoff with the then presidency seeing the danger of losing,all the rigging apparati wud have been deployed.
With the likes of Wike,Diezanni,Akpabio,Fayose,Tompolo in Delta etc,votes of 2m or more in Rivers,Akwa Ibom, Delta wud have been manufactured to counterbalance whatever the North wud produce in a runoff.
Tinubu can be tamed,but not thru this barefaced,crude and tampering with delegates way the presidency is going about it.

whether they like it or not,TInubu remain force to be reckon with in Yoruba land. I wait to see among Ibikunle Amosu,Babatunde Raji Fashola, Kayode Fayemi, Akeredolu Rotimi and Abiola Ajimobi whom among them have the weight and charisma to woo Yorubas respectively to vote against Tinubu directive. Time will tell. And those of you who think Yoruba are gullible will be shocked in 2019 with a block voting pattern again. That's the reason we are an enigma to solve

Jagaban made Apc

He can liase with other progressive across other

Geopolitical zone

U strongly believe that it won't get to that stage

Tinubu is spend..the north is bulding another political bloc in the west.
He's not needed in the scheme now..loyalty is what is needed not godfather. There can't be two captain in a ship..is tantamount to mutiny.
Atiku is a confirm politician..he learnt from his mistake after baba dealt with him..but oga tinubu don't want to learn from others..
By next year..the north will empower the new bloc in the west..politicians will realign.
Tinubu should be fighting for lagos state ..which will be a tough battle..

A man should know when he conquer..tinubu miscalculated..even after lagos election. That saw fash nearly fronting him..

there's no fight for him to be won at the federal level..he should concentrate his arsenal in lagos..

The boys have turned to men..and they ain't smiling..they are coming woskily for him..and they have the backing to equal his finance.

Jagaban..you came you saw..you conquered..but going in peace will confirm. you jagaban borgu.

Take it or leave it,there is no political block built in the southwest that can beat Tinubu for now.It takes more than political appointment to become a leader of men.

All the instrument of the new power block are political feathr weight who needed Tinubu support to win elctions so it will be awrong calculation to build it on the likes fashola,Amisun,Fayemi etc.these are just appointees who cannot deliver when it's time for the real politicking.

TINUBU may be down now,he is not out
Watch out for 2019

MayorofLagos:
First of all, Buhari is not looking for second term. He was in early 70s when he first contested and lost the election. Buhari wanted to return and finish what he had no chance to complete in 84 but he already retired from military and coup was no longer an appeal so he looked for political platform to achieve his ambition.

He is a self appointed righteous saint and believes he alone can clean the mess in the country. He doesn't know how to manage economy, society or any form of public administartion outside the military code of honor,which in effect is to obey first and complain later. This is why he champions fight against corruption, and we see he is using paramilitary tactics to fight corruption. He will not succeed if he were to exercise legal avenues ahead of "snatch and lock-up".

There are many social problems facing the nation, he cannot use decrees and he is distant from legislators, so the issues are not heard of now because politicians are banking on using them as tools to hold Buhari to accountability and reveal his weakness.

Buhari will look at grooming a successor, someone who will continue to see him as godfather and even run to him for endorsements.

We shall see

matrix1759:
Chai!! Did u deliver a bloc voting pattern in 2015? As derided as GEJ was in the SW and as influential as Tinubu was, Jonathan still got over 40% in Lagos and other SW states. Not talking of Ekiti, which he won. Abeg, Tinubu is overrated. The last general elections were won and lost in the North. Simple.
