Even though I'm a born again Christian, acts of generosity like this makes we envy Muslims and their honesty. We Christians have a lot to learn from our Muslim brothers especially up north about the simplicity of life. In my next life I might be a muslim due to their rare honesty that can hardly be found in the christendom

Couldntfigurean:
If not that Islam encourages killing for Apostasy,Many Muslims would have left
Many are scared of being stoned to death as it states in the Quran

Nobody is a Muslim out of his own free will,they must have be conquered or forced

📍In a statement released Wednesday by Sanusi Dawakin-Tofa, the spokesman for the NNPP governorship candidate, said the operatives were caught on camera planting weapons in their members’ offices in order to allegedly frame them


📍“Today, Wednesday 22nd February, 2023, three days to the general elections, men of the Department of State Security, DSS, in Kano have laid siege on the Campaign Office of the NNPP. The office of the directors of Support Groups and that of the director of Youth Mobilization were cordoned by men of the DSS.

Atiku isnt strong anything. He is basically relying on pdp structures. How can you say he is strong when he was blown away by buhari in 2019?

Biodun556:
Benue, Kaduna is for Tinubu

Biodun556:
Atiku strong hold

Bauchi

Taraba

Adamawa

Nasara

And Jigawa


South West, North Central, Northwest, for Tinubu

South East for Peter Obi

The rest of north east and south south will be shared

Softmirror:
LIES UPON LIES. IF THERE IS ANYBODY THE NORTH LOATHES IT IS ATIKU ABUBAKAR. AM TELLING CONFIDENTLY THAT AN AVERAGE NORTHERN KNOWS THAT ATIKU ABUBAKAR IS A VERY BAD EGG. THERE IS NO SHOCKER THAN THAN ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU CARRYING THE DAY. YOUR ASSUMPTION DOESN'T REFLECT ANY REALITY AT ALL.

INFACT, TINUBU IS VERY MORE SUPPORTED IN THE NORTH THAN ANYWHERE ELSE.

LocalStandard1:
Let's make it easier. I want two, two Tinubu intellectuals here, one from the South so we speak in English, the other from the North so we speak in Hausa.

Penguin2:
Because Tinubu is an impending disaster that must never be allowed to happen.

It’s my little contribution to my motherland.

During 2019 presidential campaign all APC chieftain accompanied Buhari in all the states in South-east go and check the videos, they were so committed unlike now with Tinubu

adedayofrosh:
19 states where Tinubu may lose the 2023 presidential election


Bola Tinubu is finally one more step away from the presidency after decades of plotting. The former Lagos state governor cofounded the ruling APC and helped President Muhammadu Buhari to win two elections. Now, he believes it’s his turn to rule the country. But this won’t be a coronation. Below are 19 states where he may lose the 2023 election.

Osun
The main opposition PDP lost the 2019 presidential election in this state by only a 1% point – and yet it did not control the state at the time. This changed last year when the PDP won the state gubernatorial election. The opposition has strengthened its position here and the APC is fractured locally. The ruling party is unlikely to win next month’s election in this state.

Imo
Imo is the only state in the southeast that Tinubu’s APC controls, but the state governor and the party are highly unpopular. At best, the party will muster enough votes to satisfy a constitutional requirement that a winning candidate must get 25% of votes in at least two-thirds of states nationwide and the capital Abuja.

Anambra
The PDP comfortably won Anambra in the last five presidential elections, but this time it faces stiff competition because LP candidate Peter Obi comes from this state. Tinubu is not expected to put up a meaningful challenge there.

Plateau
Plateau presently has the most registered voters in the central north. It is a swing state with a largely Christian population, and there is constant friction between Christians and Muslims given the dynamic between the central north and the rest of the mostly Muslim north.
This is why many stakeholders flinched when Tinubu, a Muslim, picked another Muslim as his running mate – neglecting an unwritten Nigerian rule that a president and his vice cannot both be of the same faith. Voters in Plateau will have that in mind.

Enugu
The PDP always wins this southeastern state by a landslide. The party’s current candidate Atiku Abubakar got 84% of the votes in the last presidential election. If that changes this time, it won’t be because Tinubu’s on the ballot but because a more popular Obi has emerged.

Benue
Benue is a predominantly Christian state in the central north. As in Plateau, voters are averse to the APC’s Muslim-Muslim arrangement due to pre-existing religious tensions in the state. The election will be competitive here, but the PDP candidate should earn a second consecutive victory.

Taraba
Voters in Taraba have never elected a Muslim state governor, so it’s improbable they’ll vote for a party with two Muslim running mates. The state is mainly Christian and is currently controlled by the PDP.

Sokoto
The northwest is the stronghold of Tinubu’s APC, which runs all the states in this region except Sokoto. The party swept votes in this northwest area last time, but that was because its candidate Buhari is seen in the area as its religious and ethnic leader.

Now, the president’s not on the ballot for the first time since 2003. This means another candidate’s going to inherit that large segment of the electorate who vote on the basis of religion and ethnicity. Tinubu’s apparently not that candidate – northern Muslims consider southern Muslims inferior. The NNPP’s Rabiu Kwankwaso and PDP’s Atiku are ahead here because they’re both northern Muslims and Hausa-Fulani.

Rivers
Rivers has more voters than any other state in the oil-rich Niger Delta. The state (and the rest of the southern region) is a PDP stronghold – it’s always won presidential elections by a wide margin there. But the PDP state governor now bizarrely opposes his own party’s candidate. This infighting may allow Tinubu to squeeze out enough votes to meet the 25% constitutional threshold, but his supporters still won’t expect him to win the state.

Delta
The PDP won 72% of votes in this southern state last time. Now, the state governor is also the party’s vice-presidential candidate. Tinubu will be devoting the bulk of his resources elsewhere.

Abuja
The PDP won the country’s capital five times as the ruling party and still did so in 2019 when it was in the opposition. This pattern will likely continue this year.

Ondo
Ondo is in Tinubu’s backyard: the southwest. But his party APC lost the presidential election there last time even though it runs the state. This is because the party was splintered not just in the state but also in the region. That dynamic is still at play this year.

Cross River
[/b]Atiku neatly beat the APC’s Buhari here last time with 70% of the votes. The southern state now has an APC state governor, but Tinubu seems prepared for a defeat so long as he can get up to 25% of the votes in this state toward fulfilling the constitutional requirement in two-thirds of the 36 states.

[b]Adamawa
Tinubu’s main opponent Atiku is from this state in the northeast. The ruling APC won this historically PDP state for the first time in 2015, but Atiku was in the APC at the time. Atiku should continue his home winning streak next month.

Akwa Ibom
[/b]A Tinubu win in Akwa Ibom will be a miracle. Getting 25% or more of the votes should be enough success for the ruling party candidate.

[b]Edo
The margin here in the 2019 election was barely 2% points. Next month’s election in the state will again be closely contested, and the PDP has the upper hand given it’s presently in charge of the state.

Bayelsa
Tinubu will hope that former (and current) PDP figures in this state, such as oil minister and ex-Bayelsa state governor Timipre Sylva, can get him a decent tally there. But no one should anticipate a Tinubu victory.

Abia
The Abia state governor is one of five PDP state governors who are rumored to be discussing a deal with Tinubu to sabotage their own party. Note: it’s not really ‘sabotage’ in the eyes of Nigerian politicians, who freely switch parties when it personally benefits them.

President Buhari would barely win a few thousand votes in Abia (or any other state in the southeast) in a fair election, but he managed to rally 26% of the votes in 2019 – just enough to get over the constitutional line – with the state governor’s tacit cooperation. Tinubu should expect this cooperation again this time. He knows he’s unpopular here, and so winning the state is not his priority.

Ebonyi
Ebonyi is another state where President Buhari somehow managed to get over the constitutional line in 2019 – with 25.26% of the votes. The PDP state governor who covertly organized this result has in fact since joined the ruling party. Tinubu will count on him to organize this simple result for him again, leaving Atiku and Obi to slug it out while he directs his own energy elsewhere.
