It's funny that you're now seeing evil in Buhari's bid to choose his successor but saw nothing wrong and indeed failed to cry as Tinubu consistently chose Governors for Lagos State for nearly two decades.

Is there a sacred cow, I begin to wonder. Same Tinubu played this same game few days ago and Sanwo-Olu's challengers were eschewed from participating in the Primaries.

Double face?

How were they eschewed from participating in the Primaries? Their hands were tied behind their backs or they refused to sell the forms to them? How? Just tell us how?
You cannot blame some people’s cowardice or lack of confidence on others and label them as dictatorial.
If they truly have followers, they should go into the field and rally their followers against Tinubu’s candidate…..just like Tinubu himself is not folding his arms right now but busy rallying his followers to battle with anyone that Buhari may choose as a preferred candidate.
That’s the way Democracy works….not by lazy people looking for Anointing Oil all over the place and blaming others for their inability to perform!

.
You are being clever by half, somebody that imposes his wishes on his party members. The legendary baba sope.
There are rumours he even controls the so called opposition in the state.
We are not as ignorant as you, and we are not collecting stipends to do a hatchet job.
For once let him be on the other side of Baba sope,this time he is not the "baba".

The problem with you and your ilk is lack of confidence! You refuse to follow Christ for your salvation because you say to yourself that Satan is too strong. Well, you deserve what you get!

Yemi osinbajo a.k.a star boy is the final decision

….and your Star Boy will lose the general election!
Go find out what happened to Jerry Rawlings’ preferred candidate in Ghana after Rawlings had ruled for 19 years.
He was roundly defeated!

CorperKola:
But tinu u has the right to choose his succesors even though his tenure ended in 2007.
Something is wrong with you. Nobody takes you seriously anyways

Great2017:
Tinubu and his "anointing oil". Same will be served to him very soon. Once Buhari names his anointed candidate, Tinubu is free to contest against him.

Reference:
Let me whisper this to you softly, softly....
That is exactly what Mr President (or the President's men) want to do.....

What you cleverly hide in your submissions is the status of the 'candidates' to be chosen, which is the crux of the matter.
Just like Mr. Tinubu makes available HIS candidates at the general elections, Mr. Buhari want to make available HIS candidate at the general elections also.

The lack of democracy is not on the streets at the general election, no, no, no, but within the political parties. That is where all the mess of maladministration starts, and I am sure you have heard the term 'LACK OF INTERNAL DEMOCRACY'.
This can be caused by two things. Either by coercion or by influence. Both attack the conscience and erode true competition, the foundation of true democracy.

The PDP did theirs last week and the lack of internal democracy was manifest by the influence of bags of money. The APC wants to do theirs but by coercion. Both are bad and both are alive at all levels of the polity, including States of which Lagos is a poster child.... and you know it, infact you folks boast about it.

I just cannot see what is happening now that has not happened all over Nigeria including in Lagos for the better part of twenty years.
But the silver lining here is if this 'big fight' will result in mutual destruction that will consume that cancer of autocracy in Nigerian politics, then we might all be happy at the end.

Great2017:
How many persons contested against Sanwo-Olu? Tinubu is anything but democratic.

Reference:
There is nothing to be said about Lagos politics that is not audible to the deaf and visible to the blind.
Heck, you folks boast about it all day and night for two decades now, about how a single individual decides elections.
Is that democracy.?
When you sing that a man, a single man has the power to instal and remove leaders in deciding elections, you give little thought that it flies in the face of the tenets of a popular franchise.

That is empire building. Who does that in a democracy.
Where it works properly you do your term and walk away hoping to leave the office, state and its institutions in a better shape than you met it, period. That is success in a democracy. You don't use the instrument of state while in office to create a back door to perpetuate yourself in power. It is a crime in other climes.

Now that it is practiced by others you folks find it hard to swallow. So wierd.
You are either a democrat or not. You either practice democracy or not. You cannot pick and choose when and how to peddle influence to suit your wants. It is a moral question every politician out there has to answer and a serious question the people of this country have to rise to resist.

Enough is enough. We want to vote for who we want, not who is foisted on us. If not elections is futile and your PVC is no better than a motel door keycard.

Great2017:
Will Nigerians not also vote to decide who becomes the President? There is nothing like democratic about Tinubu, so he is not in any position to reject Buhari’s concensus candidate.

Great2017:
How about Tinubu choosing the governors of Lagos since 2007? If anybody should complain about concensus, it should not be Tinubu.

GuyWise101:
Nna mehnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Tunibu is a greedy old idiot

Samakus:
Comparative analysis.

Samakus:
Wrong example! He's actually trying to follow example that people like Tinubu had set many times now, which has unfortunately became the convention

Samakus:
You're shifting the goalpost

Samakus:
Did you read where he reckoned that the same Salihu Lukman recently benefited from the same 'consensus arrangement' he is writing the President against?

What do you have to say about that?

I don’t care about what Lukman does or does not do! Point is Buhari does not have the right to seek to choose a successor particularly after failing woefully to deliver any of the promises made to Nigerians in 2015 and 2019. Who needs the recommendation of a calamitous failure? He should just quietly go back to Daura and try to hide his face from public view as much as possible after that!

The President does not have any “right” to seek to choose a successor….in a democracy, that right belongs to the people and they must be allowed to exercise it. Goons like you Suleiman Musa should also desist from turning Buhari into a demigod.
What Nonsense!

• Presidency: APC Still Divided on Zoning, Mulls Options to Face Atiku

•Some govs want to go south; Adamu, others prefer north

•Party may reopen sale of forms to broaden choices for candidates

•Moves to encourage El-Rufai, Zulum to join race

This will never happen….paid write-up!

toujurs:
After stealing lagos funds , buhari haven't dealth with him yet. Tinubu is a very foolish man, he thinks the north would vote for a yoruba man into presidency. Hmmm you guys that are his followers are funny and stupid same time.

God1000:
He talks too much

adioolayi:
Why is APC Chairman appearing to be partisan

I think the umpire shouldn't be seen with any competitor ..


O wrong now..

PrinceOfLagos:
That's how this northerners will continue to milk Tinubu all in the name of audio support

Dem don see Tinubu as mugu

If you look in the mirror you will see a worse mugu!

Obidient1:
Is true but I won't forgive Tinubu for bringing a Calamity President to our Land

excomarow:
You are an idiot brought up by your useless parents. I once told you to ask you useless mum whom your real father is. Useless bastard.

Wasted Sperm... Bastard pikin....
Quote me again, that will show how stupid n useless you are.

excomarow:
And so shall it be unti you and your entire family. Amen

Lol ….you’re dabbling into areas you know nothing about! You better go and talk to your useless parents first!
When a curse is sent out, it has to find a deserving soil to land, otherwise it returns to the Sender ….with disastrous consequences!
Therefore, Be careful what Prayers you send out. The Ruler of your Dark world will not have mercy on your Soul.
Stupid juvenile delinquent!!

excomarow:
Garbage...
Come n take the civilization out of me you Bastard

I need not take it out of you….it will spell your doom. Without you, it will be good riddance to bad rubbish for the rest on Earth!

excomarow:
Bastard... Wasted Sperm... Better ask your mum whom your real father is n fvking don't quote me again

You’re Nothing but the Dregs of the Earth! People like you should not be living in civilised society. What a wasted life!!

excomarow:
Fvcking idiot, you are the person that lacks home training you just pained that your preferred candidate will not smell the sit. You still want to recycle those old thives.

Mind you, am not capitalizing on there status been professors in fact you just reminded me that Zulum is a prof. . what a plus to their portfolios.

Osibanjo/Zulum 2023

Your father is an idiot….that’s assuming your mother knows who he was! Bloody ill-trained scoundrel

excomarow:
Go fvck yourself with rugged die-in-the-wool politicians, I don't care if they've proven their mettle over 600 years of translating bullshit into jargon.

With people like you, that's why we keep recycling those old thieves you call politicians.

We need fresh brains in the system... Osibanjo/Zulum Insha Allah

You should learn to make coherent contributions without resort to such fowl language….it shows plainly that you lack home training and should not be living in a civilised society!
How many Universities do you have in Nigeria? How many graduates and Professors are you churning out year after year in all disciplines….but look at your environment, is it anything to write home about? Giant of Africa indeed, What a shameless lot!!

anonimi:
Talk is different from doing hence a gbewiri, ole, barawo, like Thiefnuibu can talk about doing something he failed to do for Lagosians and their children in 23 years, and his lapdogs will echo it as gospel truth.
How many schools did he built with how many teachers employed since 1999 to have every Lagos child in free primary and secondary schools as Jakande had four decades ago? How many

Oh….you’re looking for another Jakande eh? I thought you guys used to abuse this same Jakande that he was building sub-standard ramshackle schools and houses? Hmmm….human beings sef!
Now, please tell us ….what have you or anybody in your generations ever contributed to the development of Lagos in the 23 yrs you referred to, apart from being a scrounger and scavenger in the city? Now, you have the effrontery to criticise!
Look around you an tell us if you can compare the level of development in Lagos to any other city in Nigeria…or indeed in the whole of self-ruled black Africa…..even with having to cope with Tom, Dick & Harry trooping in from their various Villages rather than developing their own areas.
Learn to give credit where they are due!!

MASTAkiLLAh:
Tinubu should respect himself and know that the party is supreme to even him

Party cannot be supreme if party leaders choose to side a Dictator! He’s the same person that came in 1983 to sack an elected civilian government…..that put paid to Ekwueme’s presidential ambition.
We say NO to Buhari’s THIRD TERM ploy through a proxy in Aso Rock.
Vote a courageous leader who can stand his ground at all times….unless Nigeria wishes to remain the Poverty capital of the world with $1 equating to N1000. Générations unborn will never forgive our foolishness. Enough said!!

excomarow:
Whatever....

This Combination will be superb
Osibanjo/Zulum.

The kolabo go make sense for this country

Valkrie:
I'm sorry i don't need his type...!!

Only a motor pack tout would write all the trash you wrote up there....!!

For me I have a successful career and my kids are well taken care of so don't need the old demented leaky yansh man for anything bro...!!!

Lol @ your successful career in a sh!thole country!
One wonders how a “vagabond” can have children who are well taken care of…..in a sh!thole sit-at-home Village for that matter!
