PoliticsRe: Rabiu Kwankwaso In Talks to join ADC - ThisDay by Saladdin: 2:06pm On Jan 03
AMINDA:
Lol. You sound defeated. Who is Governor Abba without Kwankwaso? Does he have any structure of his own? Lessons will be learnt. The ADC still expects Kwankwaso to decamp to the APC though, we have planned for that contingency. His defection to the ADC will just be an added bonus but a very pleasant one, nonetheless.
It'll be a big bonus. I really want Madugu to make my day by decamping to the ADC. It'll be a 3-to-1 scenario, let's see how the structureless governors want to win.

They'll so beat Tinubu at the polls like a Bata Drum.

PoliticsRe: Every Minister Knew Fuel Subsidy Was Killing Nigeria — Kemi Adeosun by Saladdin: 12:55am On Jan 03
Ofunaofu:
We were promised heaven and earth.

We were told that subsidies were the reason Nigeria’s economy was not growing and why there were no developmental projects or good hospitals.
Since the subsidy was removed, the economy has nosedived, there are still no developmental projects, and hospitals are still bad.

Tinubu, where is the money saved from subsidy removal?
Lolz, he has shared it across to the defectors. Muftwang recently collected his, and Abba is on his way to collect his, while Nigerians replace the shortfall by being taxed to death! cheesy

If Nigerians like, they should not correct their mistakes in 2027, body go tell them!

Who told you that I am an Igbo in the first place? From your profile, you seem to be in the US. Anyways, WE ARE IN NIGERIA and we see the realignment going on.

Nothing scares the president and APC more than an Atiku/Obi ticket. Let them have the ticket and watch them win before 3pm that day! There's a reason Mr. President desperately wants Kwankwaso on his team. That's the only factor (aside rigging) that can still improve his fighting chance.

Take this from someone who never voted both of them in the 2023 elections and a growing number of Nigerians also share this sentiment too. By God's Grace, Feb, 2027 is gradually edging close, my prayer is that we should be alive to witness the shock and awe!

Ok

Oga, we are talking about results and capacity to resolve the country challenges without shaking. All the names u mentioned are too small in their past records. The combination of Atiku and Obi will give Tinubu a thunderous wining before 4pm election day.,

So what campaign Atiku and Obi want to tell Nigerians? Tinubu no go school, him dey sell drugs, he no get parents etc dey play. Atiku Obi or Obi Atiku can never be trusted by well meaning Nigerians wether together or separately.

Tinubu is the first Nigeria democracy president. Not the past generals or accidented
Bro, what exactly are you talking about. That Atiku is a small fry when weighed against Tinubu? If yes, then why has APC been jittery ever since Obi decamped. Trust me, I like millions of Nigeria never voted either of those and candidates in the past election.

But the economic and security situation in Nigeria today is enough reason to remove Tinubu. Nigeria NEVER had it this bad all through its fragile nationhood.

Under Tinubu, many Nigerians now sleep in fear. He has turned us to a French stooge. Bombing another country on their behalf, while his own people die like flies.

Tinubu is the first democratic president? Are you okay?

Nobody is demarketing Nigeria! Nobody is insulting our beloved arewa. The region is watching what is currently happening. Every region's voice will be heard loud and clear!

What we don't want is unbridled greed and the inordinate quest for power. You keep sharing billions to governors and co, but you want Nigerians to pay it back through our noses in the form of tax?

Let an Atiku/Obi ticket comes out and watch how Nigerians take back their mandate. This ticket will be the best national gift to Nigerians in 2026.

No amount of rigging will save anybody and what will happen in 2027 will surprise everyone!

Simple majority is there
2/3 spread is there.
Unless rigging is involved, you must be dreaming by posting those figures. Unless Abba decamps with the tacit support of his godfather, if not Tinubu can never win Kano. Don't confuse Abba winning his own reelection to Tinubu winning Kano.

As a matter of fact, don't confuse the decamping of any governor as an automatic win for the president o.

Lagos has rejected Tinubu and will still reject him in 2027.

Which of the "Norths" will Tinubu get 50% in 2027? You must be dreaming!

I'm glad that you did not mention SE, because whether he rigs or not, the region will reject him again loud and clear...
PoliticsRe: I’ll Withdraw Support If Peter Obi Runs As VP In 2027 – Pat Utomi by Saladdin: 12:10am On Jan 02
PROPHETmichael:
Running as VP is his only road to presidency and that is what he should've done in 2023 instead of allowing Tinubu to used him to divide PDP's vote. Moreover, he's still young compare to Atiku.
This is someone that understands what's going on. The best and most effective route to an Obi presidency (in future) is if he supports Alhaji.

Else, it'll be 2023 all over again and Obi will loose his golden chance. So if Pat Utomi is really sincere in his support of Obi, he better nudge him to clinch the VP position.

PoliticsRe: Ganduje Set To Receive Kano Gov Into APC by Saladdin: 10:56am On Jan 01
AMINDA:
Are you all sure you want to go through this route? With Tinubu going behind Kwankwaso's back to cut a deal with Abba in the midst of negotiations, he further seals his reputation as being untrustworthy. PDP got negligible votes from Kano in 2023 but with Kwankwaso's back against the wall, he may cut a deal with ADC. Only the naïve will question Kwankwaso's grip on Kano. Are you all sure you want to have the first runner-up, second runner-up and third runner-up from the 2023 elections uniting under one banner? The betrayal narrative will also be counterproductive to your principal's campaign.
On spot! Tinubu still think Kanawa play politics like the Lagosians. They don't know that betrayal is heavily punished in the North?

Today, only very few politicians have organic followers and cult-like following like Kwankwaso and Obi. They don't have to give anybody a single kobo before being voted.

Kwankwaso is loved for his charitous nature and his love for his people. Let Abba decamp by betraying the Madugu (Kwankwaso) and he'll learn his lessons in 2027.

Not only will the first, second and third unite, and fight as one, but even Ganduje and other aggrieved politicians in APC will codedly and heavily work against Tinubu.

PoliticsRe: Kano Governor’s Planned Defection Unsettles Kwankwaso’s Camp by Saladdin: 10:43am On Dec 31, 2025
AMINDA:
I like how all of you in Tinubu’s camp can't paint a realistic picture of his re-election without affirming that it would be via rigging. Akpan, ask around. Unlike Akwa Ibom, elections don't get rigged in the North if the people don't want you. That's the fastest way to get counted. Tinubu's rigging margins will be coming from your conquered local government in Nsit Atai but he can't rig more than your voting population. There is no equivalent of a Wike in the North who gets his way against the people's will. Every popular politician in the North is only popular with the people's permission.
Well said my Oga. If Tinubu fully agrees to Wike's terms, the figures that will come from Rivers and some part of SS will even shock the president himself. Because the "cooking will be brazenly done".

Like you rightly said, the case is reverse in the North. Because with the sentiments and anger brewing in the North currently, any governor or political figure that misaligns will suffer political-wise. Many of them will even struggle to deliver themselves. Tinubu's implementation of that exploitative tax will permanently seal his fate as an OTP.

Let's keep observing.
PoliticsRe: Atiku Has Already Stepped Down For Peter Obi - Blessing Chimezie Ezeokoli by Saladdin: 9:52am On Dec 31, 2025
Teenaira:
But nobody knows Obi in the political circle. If ADC presents Obi, ATIKU can never use his money to support Obi and of course before 12.00 noon on election day, Tinubu would have won with an unimaginable margin. Obi is only popular in the Eastern part of Nigeria because they want an Ibo president not because they don't know he can not hold that position. Anyway, I will join you people in praying that ATIKU will step down for Obi so that you people can see real politics at play.
You summed it up beautifully. It seems they have not learnt anything from the last election and are still bent on playing politics with emotions. Politics is a game of numbers and logic. It has NOTHING to do with emotions.

The best route for an Obi Presidency is to deputize Alhaji and after his tenure he declares his own ambition. There's a reason APC desperately wants Kwankwaso on their team.

Should Obi decide to row it alone, then his career is finished politically. Because Kwankwaso (if he deputizes the President) has a brighter chance of becoming the next president than Obi. Also, I'd rather stay in my house that day than go out because Tinubu would win using that scenario and it'll be 2023 all over again.
PoliticsRe: How Internal Power Struggles Are Driving Gov. Abba Yusuf Away From Kwankwaso by Saladdin: 10:06pm On Dec 30, 2025
WYZAD:
Tinubu has other powerful power players in Kano outside kwankwaso. So if d governor is with tinubu, ganduje with Tinubu and majority of senate and HoA, then he's good to go and will allow kwankwaso to remain afloat but little relevance.
That's not d same with Rivers.
Wike is right now unequalled when it comes to power in Rivers and Tinubu won't like to hurt him especially nit after d role wike played openly during 2023 warmup and election.
So fubara will either continue to lick wike ass or he say bye to d ticket.
Even the president will not believe what you've just spilled. Powerful people in Kano you say? Abba, the members, senators and chairmen from Kano all won by associating with Kwankwaso and his party. Except there's a grand plan and existing agreement, the governor will not decamp without the blessings of his godfather.

While it's on a limited scale, Kwankwaso is one of the extremely few politicians in Nigeria that still enjoy organic, cult-like following. Let's see Abba and Co retain their seats without the Madugu himself.


For you to say Wike is unrivaled shows some form of delulu on your part. The same minister that has been issuing veiled threat and insisting on previous agreements being won.

Tinubu is careful of making him angry not because Wike has any strong executive power like before , but for the fact that he can play dirty politics and cause significant losses to the president in Rivers State should they betray him.
PoliticsRe: NNPP Expels Kano State Chairman by Saladdin: 3:01pm On Dec 30, 2025
seunmsg:
It appears there is a division in the NNPP camp in Kano. The governors appointees and loyalists are pushing for a move to APC which will automatically guarantee a second term for the governor while the Kwakwanso camp are against the move.

While I prefer both of them to join APC, I will accept the governor and his camp if Kwakwanso decides to stay back. The governor’s camp plus the existing APC structure is enough to win the election.
Nothing is guaranteed if the move is made without Kwankwaso. The governor has no concrete structure and the existing structure remains that of Madugu (Kwankwaso).

Apart from the Buhari, he is one of the very few northern politicians to enjoy cult-like following (though on a limited scale). Let him decamp solely to APC let's see.
PoliticsRe: Yahaya Bello Declares Interest In Kogi Central Senate Seat by Saladdin: 11:10am On Dec 30, 2025
Reference:
With the way politics is going in this country and Mrs Natasha's problems with the establishment, Mr. Bello is more likely going to be used to dethrone her and have his sins forgiven in the process.

More like the stars are aligning for him. We operate a feudal system where the compromised is often the chosen just as eunuchs serve the courts of the king.
You're painfully right with this submission. As much as GYB is not even fit to be a councillor in Okene LGA, he'll win for those reasons you mentioned and more.

First his boy is the governor. That means he'll use everything in his possession to win for himself, his master and Tinubu. This isn't like the previous scenario. Then apart from Wike, no one can play as dirty as Bello.

The feud with Akpabio is still there and the Senate President will exploit every chances he's got to get even with her.

This time around, he is directly contesting with Natasha and that changes everything.

The only hope for Madam is to decamp in at most two months time, try and placate the Senate president, then she can duke it out with Bello.

Else, the final results of that election will be written in Lugard's House.

Though the Executive Management is often aware, but they overlook the small cases, especially if discretion is applied.

They have this unwritten policy of: "everybody na thief, who dem catch na him be barawo". They hate blatant fraud and corruption, that's why their C-Suites are very ruthless and run those organizations with iron hands.

Its so naive for our people to think that Trump loves them. cheesy. It's all politics to him and when he looks at Black Africans, he doesn't see Muslims or Christians, he only sees "Niggas" who he can manipulate as will.

Finland no longer has free scholarships, Canada's PR scheme is no longer straightforward, New Zealand is planning to hike the visa fee for some of their visa categories, Australia? Don't even think about it, plus the UK has recently introduce some stricter policies, Europe as a whole is currently anti-immigration with a weaker economy. No country is readily welcoming anyone again.
