Ojuntana: Lol. Buhari is suddenly a dictator after seven years of supporting him So who has been forced to sign the form? The form is for those who may wish to withdraw. Has Tinubu not submitted his form? Did he sign the withdrawal form? It's obvious you guys see you're holding the short end of the stick and just making noise to save face Did they show their forms to you before submitting them or are you a member of the party’s NWC? Question is …what’s the Declaration in the form there for in the first place? We all know what the Law says about Consensus…..every aspirant must agree or there’s no Consensus! What then is the point of the requirement to sign a Declaration? If anyone wishes to withdraw, all he needs do is to write a simple letter to that effect and sign it…….no point in inserting a Declaration in the form for all aspirants. Subtle coercion imo!  |

MASTAkiLLAh: I watched a video of Tinubu in Ogun state yesterday where he made disparaging comments against President Buhari and other politicians including the Ogun state governor.
There's freedom of speech I agree but Tinubu should remember that politicians are a very vindictive specie of human beings, you might be the one who brought them to power but insulting them might force them to exercise that power on you.
So my question once again, is Tinubu ready for this fight he started? He who comes to equity must come with clean hands. He was merely stating the facts of the matter for historical records. Did he say anything that is untrue?  I beg park aside! |

Samakus: I want to believe that you decided to play to the gallery as regards the bolded. The challengers to Sanwo-Olu were not cleared paving the way for him to emerge unopposed.
It's crazy how the justle for stomach infrastructure can make a man to be so double faced. You see no evil in perpetuating installation of candidates and godfatherism but cry wolf when it's done against you.
Very unfortunate the kind of politics some young people play just because of selling their conscience for handouts Lolzzzz! The challengers to Sanwo-Olu were not cleared paving the way for him to emerge unopposed.  Where did you get that from? Who were the challengers that were not cleared and for what reason? Please enlighten us….unless you’re making it up! |

Ojuntana: Na "they" know why "they" are talking about consensus. Buhari asked for the governor's support in delivering his candidate just as Tinubu had been going around asking for the governor's support too. I don't know why you think him asking for their support equates consensus. Don't forget, during the last convention, some people refused to step down for the consensus candidates and an election then held. So calm down. If Tinubu refuses to step down, an election will hold. Buhari is free to rally his troops for battle but he cannot muscle the party’s NWC into foisting a consensus on the others. Tell me, why do they insert the Declaration in the form that aspirants must sign to accept a Consensus candidate? If it’s Indirect Primaries where the Delegates will perform their statutory role, why trying to arm-twist the aspirants into signing such a Declaration? An aspirant does not have to accept any Consensus candidate….that is the Law. So why force them to sign a declaration in the N100 million form? A dictator is always a Dictator … whether in uniform or babanriga! |

Ojuntana: When did Buhari say the delegates should not vote? So, if the Delegates can vote what’s the hullabaloo about? Why are they still talking about Consensus candidate? All the Delegates should just vote for the candidate of their choice and we count the votes and declare the winner! Why the shout of Consensus or I want to choose my successor? What rubbish is that? |

Samakus: 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! |

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 I’m sure something is wrong with one of us….but it’s certainly not me. Search yourself my friend. Like any other citizen, Tinubu always has the right to have a preferred candidate. That choice is subjected to popular vote by Lagosians who are free to vote against Tinubu’s preferred candidate. If his opponents are too lily-livered to contest against his candidate, who then should be blamed? That is exactly what he’s also asking Buhari to do….have your preferred candidate but let us go to the Square and fight it out. If your candidate wins, so be it. Why is Buhari and his goons afraid of that? …..because they know Tinubu is strong enough to beat their candidate!! |

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. Look….after Rawlings ruled Ghana for 19 years, he tried to impose a preferred successor on the people but his candidate was roundly defeated. It’s only here in Nigeria you guys try to turn Buhari into a demigod. He is free to name his preferred candidate but the person can still be defeated…..Anointing Oil or no anointing oil. You guys should muster some Confidence in yourselves….after all Buhari himself was defeated three times before someone came to his rescue! |
Politics › Re: Salihu Lukman And His Grandstanding Over Buhari’s Successor - Suleiman Musa by shinealight(m): 6:31am On Jun 03, 2022 |
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. What the President and his goons want to do is to subvert Internal Democracy by disallowing the Delegates from choosing a flagbearer for the party…..in the name of “consensus”. The President can have his preferred candidate….he can even go to the Venue of the Primaries to campaign for his personal choice, but he cannot impose that preferred candidate on the party. The Delegates must be free to agree with him or choose to go in another direction. That’s the point Tinubu is making!! |

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. ….and who is stopping you from Voting for a candidate of your choice? I asked a simple question: each time Tinubu announces his preferred candidate, does he subject him to popular vote by the people or not? So, if his opponents are men of the people, they can always beat his candidate…..but most of the time, they lack the confidence to fight their cause! |
Politics › Re: Salihu Lukman And His Grandstanding Over Buhari’s Successor - Suleiman Musa by shinealight(m): 5:50am On Jun 03, 2022 |
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. What do you have Delegates for at Indirect Primaries? Is it democratic for Buhari to make the Delegates redundant and usurp their powers? Yes, the generality of the citizens will vote at the general election but the Delegates who are Representatives of the people at grassroots level must also be allowed to vote at the Primaries. Simplicita! |
Politics › Re: Salihu Lukman And His Grandstanding Over Buhari’s Successor - Suleiman Musa by shinealight(m): 5:33am On Jun 03, 2022 |
Great2017: How about Tinubu choosing the governors of Lagos since 2007? If anybody should complain about concensus, it should not be Tinubu. Does he not allow Lagosians to vote for his preferred candidate or reject him on every occasion? If the others are truly popular in Lagos, they will beat Tinubu’s candidate hands down. That’s all Tinubu is asking for……let there be a contest at the Primaries…..he’s sure he can beat Buhari’s candidate! That’s democracy!! |

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!  |

They have more in common with the Yoruba than they have with Ibos. How many Ibos are Muslims? Also, they have not forgotten how their leading lights were murdered in 1966.
