...Obi can not win 2027 election, Tinubu will win; better begin to love Tinubu as your president of you celebrate 16 years of hatred after his tenure

See nonsense talk from a bird. How is Gbadebo different from the person he's accusing now?

"The worn-out, intellectually bankrupt tactic of labeling people as “betrayers” or “bastards” the moment they dare to deviate from the script written by the self-anointed gods of Yoruba politics. The speed with which dissent is criminalized and ideological independence punished is not only disturbing, it is tragic.

Tragic, because the very man now deified by these zealots has done nothing monumental for the Yoruba people, except trample the sacred ethos of Omoluabi, ridicule the principles of probity in governance, and drag us into the narcotic-forfeiture history of shame that is entirely alien to the Yoruba soul.

Let us state it clearly. Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s narcotics-related forfeiture of over $460,000 in a U.S. court is not a whisper of rumour. It is a documented, certified judicial fact. Yet his fanatics would rather gaslight the nation than confront the moral rot at the apex of their political cathedral.

Fear this with finality. Tinubu is not God. He is not infallible. He is not royalty. And Nigeria is not Bourdillon Estate. His presidency does not wash away his sins. It magnifies them. And history, unbought, unbowed, and unsentimental, will write its verdict.

You already voted for something worse than a stone so this is an improvement coming from you

When the time comes, put head nah. No be Cho Cho Cho, come out then at show your workings

Lagos is not free, yet you all are running away from your free states to come and slave in Lagos, even your lord and saviour Peter Obi ran away from the free state that he ruled and looted for 8 years to come and slave in Lagos

simpleseyi:
To be forewarned is to be forearmed. Those who have ears, let them hear. 2027 is not going to be like 2023 when you intimidated, harassed and prevented anyone from voting for APC in South East but your candidate Peter Obi was voted in Lagos. It will not happen again

kingbee90:
Can you imagine this bush man?I thought they said Tinubu is a master strategist? Why are they scared?
Deep down, they know that Tinubu is a CERTIFIED FAILURE and would lose any free and fair election in this country.
