PrinceOfLagos: Tinubu cannot blackmail Buhari into supporting his dead ambition
You called that blackmailing You supported someone to emerged; someone that lost elections for three consecutive terms. Even if Tinubu will not win, would it be wrong to demand reciprocity of such gesture from Buhari. Put yourself in that position and judge
Nigerialabalaba: In this throwback video, watch how how Ogun State Ex-Gov Amosun supporters booed then APC Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, just to stop Dapo Abiodun's presentation as APC gubernatorial candidate.
In the video, you will see that the stadium is full of supporters of APM and those campaigning for Akinlade who the Ex-Gov Amosun was supporting against his party's choice, Dapo Abiodun.
It was Tinubu who personally went to fetch the flag and threw it to the podium in the view of everyone so that it will not be stolen and torn.
No single poster of Dapo Abiodun is in that stadium and most of the APC supporters were locked outside the stadium.
Tinubu is actually right that he personally fought to ensure that Dapo Abiodun becomes the Ogun governor.
Tinubu truly has something to be proud about when it comes to pushing people up. I think that virtue is one of the reasons most of his opponents hate him; Tinubu makes them appear bad.
FACT: Tinubu truly stood by Dapo Abiodun to become the governor and is right to demand that Dapo Abiodun reciprocate his support for him.

Truth be told, is no secret that Asiwaju singlehandedly supported those traitors into emerging governors. Fayemi, Rauf, Oyetola, Aketi et al. I just dey pity the Dapo
Igbo people are people of enormous respect and they're deserving of many. However, this man promised he'll sweep Aso Rock villa when one particular candidate emerged as President. This is shameful and pathetic.
AkpaMgbor: You lie!! You bloody lie!! If ANYONE can claim to have made Buhari win it should be amaechi. He was the one who first went to daura and met Buhari with his wife. Telling him that he was going to help him become president. This was immediately after his fallout with GEJ and his wife. He was also the major financier of the campaign. Do you think we have short memory or what??
You must have been a political nonentity to even think it was Amaechi that helped Buhari clinched presidential ticket. Amaechi that had serious fallout in his home state; someone with no political structure or grassroot. Please go and read pre 2015 election and learn. Amaechi delivered the southwest to Buhari or the 5% in the east.
That's because he meant what he said which is absolute truth. You and I know without God and Tinubu, Buhari wouldn't have been President. Mater of fact, many governors in the southwest emerged as a result of Tinubu support and influence. Ask Messrs Kayode Fayemi, Rauf, Oyetola et al. What are we now saying
MrPristine: In his characteristic manner, Tinubu made two statements that were pure lies at the screening of APC presidential aspirants yesterday, the first lie was that he brought Enron to Nigeria while the second lie is that he brought Econet to Nigeria.
While I won't accuse the geriatric of deliberately telling lies because of the obvious dementia symptoms that he has been exhibiting over the years, I will set the records straight.
Concerning Enron, after the company went bankrupt in 2001 some of their disused equipment were put of for sale. Lagos state government under the leadership of Tinubu without doing due diligence bought one of their old power plants.
This power plant was diesel powered, obsolete and very expensive to run and as a result of this they couldn't reach an agreement to integrate it into the national grid and it ended up being a wasted investment. It is dubious to claim that you brought a company that was already bankrupt to Nigeria just because you bought obsolete and disused equipment from them.
On the issue of Econet, Tinubu never played any role in bringing the company to Nigeria, the credit belongs to Bolaji Balogun and Strive Masyiwa who worked together to bring the company to Nigeria.
Lagos state government only invested in Econet after they got their operating license and needed funds to rollout. Delta state and a good number of other institutional investors also joined in investing in the company so it's very fraudulent for Tinubu to claim that he brought Econet to Nigeria just because Lagos state government joined others in investing in the company.
Even though I didn't expect any better given his questionable character, one would have expected that a man of his age and experience would not resort to obvious lies that can be easily exposed in his desperation to achieve his lifetime ambition.
If indeed he had any real achievements after his 23 years hegemony in Lagos state, he won't have had to resort to lies to market his presidential hallucinations. Let's all remain vigilant.

Let me lie. Leave this man alone now!!! You people don't have any tangible things to do rather than continued smearing of his name. If he becomes President, will you die
drlateef: Fake news. He worked in several international organisations. And you think he used fake certificates? His university confirmed his studentship, yet you are wailing Sowore Do you need some tramadol
tonididdy: You have an idea of the plan but you have misunderstood 'their' motives. YESTERDAY primary proved a long belief that the North doesn't care about party but as long as the candidate is northern.
Atiku is 98% going to be Nigeria next president, IF APC fields a Southerner. The North will never vote a southerner.... Never! So if APC fields it's ticket to either of ameachi, tinibu or osinbanjo.... they stand no chance
Your claim that northerner will never vote for a southerner is totally wrong. That is why you have to choose someone from that region for consolidation. If northerner will not vote for their southern counterpart, how then did goodluck won massively in 2011??
Some political nonentities are saying APC should field Ahmed Lawan against Atiku. Lawan has no political structure in the north and his performance in the Senate is marred with inefficiency. Field him and APC is buried for life!
Atiku is huge, APC wished Wike had won Now give us lawan
And you think Lawan is a strong candidate only by the virtue of being a northerner?? I pity some political nonentity pushing for lawan candidacy. That guy will loose massively
StrongAlphMale: My brother, u should worry more about tinubu who for sure isn't going anywhere. Apc can't afford to waste their ticket on him knowing fully well that he is no match at all for atiku.
Finally the war between you igbos and Yorubas Don dey die down for nairaland. APC will rather field in GEJ to challenge atiku. Just Wait until 7th of June
ChangetheChange: With the current political scenario on ground. ....with Atiku as the PDP Presidential candidate, which APC never wanted....APC will go back to their plan B and also bring up a Northerner as Consensus candidate next week, they will never risk presenting a Southerner with the current reality on ground where Atiku is PDP candidate and Kwankwaso is NNPP candidate, it will be political suicide for APC to present a Southerner...that is the bitter truth and reality on Ground now. APC will pick a Northern Consensus candidate next Week ..Quote me The Northerners is United than we the Southerners.
