Crocky23:
But you're not useless for supporting a convicted drug lord? See logic.

Do you even know what a conviction means? Where was he convicted of being a 'drug lord'? Your anger is really clouding your reasoning ability.

Crocky23:
He is leader of APC, I mean considering his past he should be rotting in jail.

GEJ had a chance to put him away but couldn't pin nothing on him. He was only accused of laundering money for someone with a shady dealing, not running any cartel like the Op's post is alleging, else he would be in jail in America till now. All these info are already in the public domain and PDP said worse about him during the period leading up to the 2015 elections. You people will have to try harder or look for something more damaging against Buhari who is your real opponent.

You people are funny. Is Atiku competing against Tinubu or Buhari? Besides, in spite of the embellished stuff in the op's post, Tinubu has no case to answer in the U.S and has travelled to America severally in the past few years, can same be said for Atiku? Tinubu is not the one that will be facing Atiku at the polls o.

Fayose is afraid of losing the influence he and Wike had previously had in the party. He is still the leader of the party in Ekiti and should realize that in the game of politics, setbacks happen. He should be strategic rather than rash. His season will come again. That is how the relevant ones have managed to stay relevant in the game.

Fear women. They can make or break a man

no one has the SE votes en bloc.If Atiku picks a SW VP he is almost assured to lose the elction as a majority of the SW people will still not vote for him ad the SE will be angry and lots of them will not vote

No. Atiku already said he is willing to do only one term in office to complete the North's turn so that the presidency can come vack to the South.

It is based on that premise that the SE delegates voted for him, and not because of any VP slot per se. Anyway, let's wait and see.

PaChukwudi44:
why not wait and get the VP first before gloating

I am only saying that Atiku has the SE bloc vote on lock down, so why not strategically give the VP slot to a zone where it will have more impact? It is only common sense, no sentiments.

basilo101:
Afonja. We are not zombies whose votes are controlled by the ordinate ambition of one man

Lol. E dey really pain you that SW might get the VP slot. Even after GEJ got no less than 40% from SW in 2015, and the recent results from Ekiti and Osun, you still regurgitate that trash about your imaginary one man controlling SW. Igbos are more zombified than SW because you people are the ones that give bloc votes as long as it is for PDP. Igbos give as much as 80% bloc votes to PDP. No single party can ever get that much in SW no matter who is on the ticket.

basilo101:
There will be voter apathy in the east and the West will still not vote for him.

That is a lie. SE will vote en masse for Atiku because he has promised to sign an undertaken to do only one term. That is why most of their delegates voted for him. He knows SE votes na sure banker regardless of any VP position.

tochukwuifediba:
most lame argument this is politics we are not foolish mind you if we fail to get the VP slot instead of voting APC we shall stay at home and do another thing which will give Buhari a huge boast and victory .

Dont forget Igbo votes all over Nigeria .

Either South East VP or Buhari continue

I repeat. PDP is SE , SE is PDP. No point wasting the slot on them because since '99, the zone has been consistently voting for PDP. The hatred of Buhari by Igbos is more than enough to galvanize them to vote against him without a VP slot. Presidency is more sure for SE under PDP than APC. That is the plain and simple truth that everyone knows.

tochukwuifediba:
trash He must Pick South East we have the biggest political block in Nigeria

Atiku will get SE votes regardless of where his VP comes from so no need wasting the slot on them. SE is PDP, PDP is SE.

That is because poozy got a strong hold on a lot of rich men out there.

Congrats. This lady must have some strong backing from someone influential to achieve such a feat.

Chai! Those delegates don hammer today. If Saraki can bid $1k Atiku and Kwankwaso go match am fire for fire. Wike better be ready to spend serious Oyel money for his boy, Tambuwal.

See crowd. This is 'people power'. Direct primary is the way to go.

Congrats to him. Fashola defeated him. Ambode also did. We will see if Sanwo-Olu will keep up with tradition.

Shuku0kukobambi:
Tinubu cannot dictate to Dapo Abiodun because Tinubu didn't make him. They might be close, but there's a limit.

No empire lasts for ever. Tinubu is still relevant because he still aligns with majority of the stake holders. The day he deviates, he'll be reduced to nothing

I think that what a lot of people don't realize is that even Tinubu's politics is evolving with time. He knows the amount of fear and resentment his personality generates in the political circle outside Lagos (and perhaps Osun to a lesser extent), so his survival strategy has changed from overtly supporting and sponsoring candidates to building political alliances with actors that are inclined to support his political interests in future when there is need for consensus. It is becoming more and more difficult to just impose a person on the party without popular support (even Tinubu and SanwoOlu had to reach out to Fashola, Muiz and Fouad Oki for support). Obviously in Amosun's case, he didn't have nor command complete control and loyalty over the party structure in his state, hence the strong resistance to his succession plan and candidate. He can still bounce back if he plays his cards right and resist the temptation of playing 'scorched earth' politics/politics of vengeance.

Amosun should relax and not act irrationally. He can still make himself relevant within the party by using his incumbency as a bargaining chip. You can't always win all your political battles. Even Tinubu sef has lost some critical political battles n the past and was the butt of jokes when things didn't go his way, but his 'staying power' is what is keeping him relevant. You don't burn down a house because you want to kill rats.

Lol. He would be stupid to serious my consider that. When the Oyegun NWC favoured him he was happy. Now he us throwing a fit because he's not having his way? Mumu governor.

Please epp me, I am in pains. These pictures are giving me serious pains.

Yimu. Campaign after election.

In my opinion, Amosun should have tried to unite the APC in the state so that he will have less resistance to his plan to install his successor. Sanwo-Olu and Tinubu had to 'stoop to conquer' by reaching out to the likes of Fashola, Muiz, and Atoki ('factional chairman') for support in order to consolidate and shore up their bases in Lagos ahead of the primaries.

The APC in Ogun has not been united for a very long time in the state (except in maybe Ogun Central), and Amosun should be strategic enough to reach out to the Dapo faction and maybe offer them concessions so that he can unite the party in the state, else APC may lose the state next year. In politics there are no permanent enemies but permanent interests. My two cents.

Wike will sponsor it.

It could be someone else that cut out the picture because why bother printing his face on it only to now cut it out afterwards?

These people no dey tire. The Tinubu hatred and obsession is like an addicrion. Una must sha cookup some conspiracy theory about Tinubu's imminent downfall or how his political career is about to crash, and when that fails, you cookup another theory, and go on and on. Una no dey tire?

I think those doubting the authenticity of these figures are failing to understand that APC members don't necessarily have to possess PVCs. When you look at it from that point of view, you realize that these figures are really possible.

3 governors in one picture. 1 ex governor (Baba Akande) 1 soon-to-be ex-governor (Aregbe) and 1 incoming (Oyetola).

Wike has the party by the ballz. That earlier threat he made must have terrified a lot of partymen. Whoever he endorses will likely emerge the party's flagbearer.
