But Tinubu is an old face too na

SixSeven:
You'd be surprised by how crafty they are. Don't forget what Atiku said yesterday about PDP and how they formed it. He was the VP but the real President, they deliberately chose Obasanjo who just came out of prison and had lost touch. He just confirmed what people had said all along yesterday when he said he recruited cabinet members among others. He was the de facto president who latched on to the sentiment of repaying Abiola and the country wanted a Yoruba man as compensation. That's why

1. The South West voted Falaye instead of Obasanjo

2. After the first term when Obasanjo's eyes opened, he tried to grab the SW in 2003 election and he tried to settle with Atiku. He had now become his own man. Search for Obasanjo begs Atiku in 2003.

Payback came when Atiku thought he would succeed Obasanjo and that man decided to publicly speak against him and publish books that wrote his image in red ink. Politics is a game of interests.

He is still a selfish man and is the kind of person Tinubu fears. Why? They know themselves. Tinubu has publicly admitted that the deal with Atiku saved him from the South West tsunami in 2003. They worked together in 2011, 2015 to play and remove Jonathan respectively. I can see Atiku's perspective. He feels that only the South East and South South was what was left to be captured in the last election and the North is already in the bag for him while Obi feels that with a Northern support, he will defeat Tinubu since he is quite popular in the South. Now I will advise Atiku to do a poll and find out whether people really want him or they just want his money.

He admitted yesterday that he had made some mistakes and I hope he doesn't make the same mistake like his brother Tinubu by running for President. Tinubu has been demystified now that he is President, he could have supported Osinbajo or any other candidate that the people willingly accepted back then. Atiku should read the room and endorse someone. If Tinubu did that in 2023, that candidate would have won smoothly but the man wanted to grab it, snatch it and run away with it and he's been falling and embrassing himself ever since. Presidency is not a small job, they both need to rest. Anyhow, I love the energy of Atiku who is older than Tinubu. It makes me question things.

The only surest ticket is Atiku and Obi. Atiku will win ADC primary and he will want to choose Obi as running mate. If that works out without rancour, then Tinubu can kiss his a$$ good-bye

Aside Obi and Kwankwanso, no other politician has been able to prove themselves ALONE outside the establishment.

Repost👇

Obi has the brightest chance going by the last election result followed by Kwankwanso. I choose these two because they left PDP and did not have the structure of the regular party, which Atiku benefitted from using the PDP platform. You also have to look at the time they had to test themselves between the election primaries and election.

If you want to know what that means, Ribadu ran the Presidential election in 2011 under AC and failed with that party structure. Obi and Kwankwanso have been able to test their popularity as candidates outside the regular establishments and done well. Both had no Governors in their party before contesting and pulled a good number in the last election. Buhari used his CPC to bargain with AC to get the Presidential slot in APC. Buhari could say whether he used ANPP or CPC, he could gather votes. I'm not so sure Atiku can do that. He was a presidential candidate of the Action Congress in the 2007 presidential election coming in third to Umaru Yar'Adua of the PDP and Muhammadu Buhari of the ANPP. Atiku came a distant third in that election with less than 10% of the votes.


Obi and Saraki/Kwankwanso

A Saraki will be a difficult campaign for APC that has defaulted to using tribes against themselves. Saraki ticks two boxes of Yoruba/North Central who have been looking for relevance since Gowon.

Here is the stats of the declared winners since 1999. Mr Bola Ahmed tinubu was not a popular president elect

Here is the brief, factual list of Nigeria’s presidential election winners since 1999, including each winner’s name and the percentage of valid votes they received.

1999 – Olusegun Obasanjo: about 62.78% of valid votes.

2003 – Olusegun Obasanjo: about 61.94% of valid votes.

2007 – Umaru Musa Yar’Adua: about 69.60% of valid votes.

2011 – Goodluck Jonathan: about 58.87% of valid votes.

2015 – Muhammadu Buhari: about 53.96% of valid votes.

2019 – Muhammadu Buhari: about 55.60% of valid votes.

2023 – Bola Ahmed tinubu: about 36.6–37% of valid votes.


A United opposition will defeat tinubu before the election begins. With a wiiiiiiiiiiiiiide margin. There is no need to argue about that.

Fact: Tinubu remains the most unpopular president to have won the Presidential elections. He is the easiest to kick out. Back then, PDP told AC, CPC and opposition parties when they were reigning that to kick us out, you need to unite as opposition. That's what they learned in 2015.

Edygrin:
If you think Northern stakeholders created a coalition they hold by more than 80% to the hand over the ticket to Peter Obi then you're dreaming. Atiku will win the primary and by then it will be too late for anyone to decamb. This is a game, and the north has been playing it for years.

SixSeven:
Unfortunately I don't think that will work. Why? How old are you?

You are well spent on politics of the past while these young people are not interested in these old faces. That's one message Atiku is not getting. Those who voted for him in 2019 are now 7 years older. Since that time, children who were 11 years old are now 18. Since Atiku started contesting in 1993, a child of that age is now 33. Since he was a Vice President in 2007, a child then now is 19.

Approximately 39.65% (roughly 37 million) of registered voters are between the ages of 18 and 34. In the lead-up to the 2023 elections, 84% of the 10 million newly registered voters fell into this age category. Those aged 35–49 (Middle-Aged Voters) make up roughly 35.75% of the electorate.

Read the room. Especially the last line.

How did you come to the conclusion that the story is a lie,you can’t just conclude it’s lies just because it don’t include the name of the said teacher,she might have left the name out for some Personal reasons

never trust love or relationship advise from an Indian or Middle Eastern.

Lack of social exposure and etiquette by the men limits their success at wooing or interacting normally normally with the opposite sex. This causes unrest or sexual frustration often leading to rape, incest or sexual harassment.
Arranged marriage has its advantage and disadvantages, but it's the easiest way out for this demographic, to meet societal expectation.

if she mentions his name,you know every teacher in Anambra state?

R.I.P. Nairaland. Reddit got automated and provides answers to almost any question imaginable. You had your run and never thought to grow bigger. History should remember you well, or so I hope.

Before buying the phone i thought she is that calm and responsible girl and giving me the girlfriend vibe though we have not slept with each other.

When Devil and Village people do meeting ontop your head this is the result. One would think a Medical Doctor a Gynecologist for that matter wouldn’t risk Vaginal birth when you are carrying triplets. Why gamble when you can just do a CS and save everyone the trouble.

Maybe she felt as a doctor she couldnt see herself having a CS so she opted for vaginal birth. Smh.. sad indeed. May her soul rest in peace. I just pity the triplets and their Dad,how will they cope? Really sad
