It is not about investment but trust and loyalty.gej never had loyalists up north.he wasn't a core pilitician except david mark.muazu was never his ally,they only met in pdp.the northerners already showwd that they were for buhari.mind you,bauchi always voted buhari even more than katsina so muazu couldn't do zilch.even in 2011,gej lost heavily in bauchi.....
Now,tinubu is a core politician.he has cultivated friendship and alliances right from 1999.a lot of them are loyal to tinubu.he has helped them severally.he helped nyarko in 2013 when gej rubbished him.how many times has atiku or gej helped apart from election periods? Atiku doesnt have that overwhelming support buhari has in the north.a lot in the north hate him him.even in Adamawa,jubril aminu and and tukur akways fight him...either tinubu wins the north or they divide

you are joking. I promise you that buhari is voting for Atiku. If Buhari is really voting for Tinubu why is the emire of Daura endorsing Atiku publicly? I told you, iam a northerner and I know how northern politics is played.
Can you remember what El Rufai said about Tinubu in terms of his age? The video is there go and watch.

PeterObi4LP:
I don't know you or who you report to, but I can boldly tell you that all you wrote is false.

I left Abuja to Enugu for an official assignment and I returned back to base yesterday being Monday by Sienna. Even on Wednesday I came, the 2nd Niger bridge has not been functioning since it was open. Stop this your false narrative.

did he say second Niger bridge? The picture you see is it second niger bridge or the first Niger bridge?

triple996:
This man(wike) will not rest until he destroy atiku completely

unfortunately,he is destroying himself. All the house of assembly members, the governorship candidate, the senators are all Wike nominees.

My son change my reasoning when he asked me these questions
1) he said Daddy now that you stayed on the line since morning to this evening because you want to buy fuel, will you still vote APC
2) Now that you buy fuel at 500 per litre will you still vote for APC?
3) Dad, you know that we had 3 cars before in this house but you have to sell 2 for our upkeep, will you still vote APC?
4) now that you are able to buy only half bag of rice instead of the one bag you used to buy every month, will you still vote for APC?
5) Dad, remember that Mirabel my elder sister stayed at home for almost one year because of ASSU strike, will you still vote APC?
6) Now that 1 dollar is equal to 800 naira, will you still vote for APC?
7) Now that we cannot travel to the village as we used to do,will you still vote for APC?
Now that 133 million Nigerians are living in poverty will you still vote for APC?
9) Dad, please what is the name of Tinubu primary and secondary school? Also dad as a Christian are you happy that Tinubu picked a man that stop the teaching of CRS in Borno state as his vice?
10) Dad you watched a video where Tinubu was licking microphone instead of tapping it, will you still vote for Tinubu?
I nearly shed tears when I see these questions from a 14 year son. He knows that I used to be a die hard supporter of APC that is why he was asking me those questions.
Please I will like nairalanders to help me answer these questions. Thanks.

Aufbauh:
It can only be Obi's turn only if he's contesting for the President of Biafra.

In Asari Dokubo's word: how many times will they tell you that Nigeria is not for you?

It's Tinubu we know!

I don't how you people are thinking, Tinubu that publicly licked microphone should be the president of Nigeria? You are a disgrace to your lineage.

senatordave1:
Nyarko has been outside treating himself.he was with tinubu yesterday.his son is on the ballot

let me tell you that Muazu was very close to GEJ, infact they were together everyday but at the end what happened?
Tinubu that don't even have a pure water shop in the north and you think northerners will vote for him? Mention one thing that Tinubu has done to the north that warrant the north to vote for him.

senatordave1:
This is the third time this man is decamping this year snd.a more relevant ex gov nyarko is still in apc

And you think Nyako is working for Tinubu? You guys are just fooling around. When did you see Nyako together with Tinubu since the beginning of this campaign.

Omihanifa:
Former governor bindow doesn't have any electoral value anymore. Someone that came 3rd in apc primary election in his state.

Imagine someone that ruled the state from 2015-2019 coming third in 2022 primary election. That speaks volumes already about his person. He's simply worthless.

see foolishness. Do you know that all the former governors of Adamawa state are with Atiku?

If I hear Yoruba talking about protest I will just go and sleep. Only tear gas is enough for them to abort their useless protest.

donphilopus:
Bro, you're just a political jobber deceiving yourself. The same APC you're condemning now, you claimed you would have voted for them if they had chosen a Christian. You're either a Fulani who obviously do not like the Kanuris or a Christian northerner but whichever you are, you're in the minority so no qualms.

As for the Sai Atiku, he has been hiring some miscreants to chant his name during opposition's campaigns but that doesn't matter.

hahahaaaa �. Who hire people more than Tinubu? The same Tinubu that hire bishops,hire judges, hire people to his campaign ground.

I can bet with my life that nobody can beat Atiku in Adamawa.

Buhari4sale:
Listen to it again. Buhari is a man of himself.

Remember, I'm for everybody and I belong to nobody. That's who he is but will be able to. Work against his party?

Though Northerners believe in their brothers than political party but this is new era and the table is turning very quickly. Buhari will be retired for life in the next few months. Permanently retired.

The closest to the presidency corridor is BAT

I wish you are in the north to hear what the people are saying.
Will you vote for APC after buying fuel at 500 naira per litre?
Will you vote for APC after sleeping in filling stations looking for fuel?
Will you vote for APC after buying rice at 50 thousands naira?
The number of votes Tinubu will get is the exact number of fools we have in this country.

Buhari4sale:
It's a simple advice that should look at your community and avoid voting the wrong violence and dubious set of people into power. If truly Easterners are civil with much elites to convince the people especially about the killings in the East. They should avoid Voting for OBI because he has never condemn IPOB otherwise known as unknown gunmen.

If you like vote for person wey finish your region and destroy your community.

BAT can silence, caution, correct and stand any form of mayhem, corruption among other relative enemy of national interest and progress.

Use your sense and avoid Atiku the grand thief

are you talking about the same Tinubu who is the father of corruption? Are you talking about Tinubu that collect 51 billions every month from Lagos state treasury?
Are you talking about the same Tinubu that is licking the microphone?
I am ashamed that educated fools are gunning for Tinubu.

donphilopus:
Yet Buhari raised Tinubu's hands in Adamawa today. Can you mention the names of the APC governors supporting Atiku without sounding stupid?

BTW, I never said Tinubu made Buhari. Or can you point to whwre I said so in the writeup you quoted?

Do you know the meaning of sai mun bata wuta?

when Buhari raise Tinubu hand, what did the crowd say? "Sai Atiku" "sai mun bata wuta." Do you know the meaning?
It is only a fool that will buy rice at the rate of 50k and still vote for APC
It is only a nonentity student that will stay at home for 1 year, yet he will vote for APC.
Are you buying fuel now? Those that are sleeping in filling stations are the voters.
Do you think reasonable Nigerians that sees how senile, dementia, and mentally deranged Tinubu yet they will vote for him?

BRIMBRAM:
*SIT DOWN THERE DEY LOOK FOR TINUBU PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL .THE ODDS FAVORS TINUBU TO WIN THE 2023 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. IT'S TOO OBVIOUS UNLESS TO THE BLIND AND DELUDED.*


For those running around focusing on Tinubu’s age, certificates, alleged ill-health, bublubla and Muslim-Muslim ticket, that is an ineffective political tactic.

Here is Atiku’s challenge. It is in the numbers!
The same applies to Peter Obi or Kwankwanso.

Below are 14 Northern states with APC governors.
Which one do you think Atiku's PDP, or Kwankwanso's NNPP or Peter Obi's Labour Party will win?

1.Borno state: Babagane Zulum
2. Gombe state: Inuwa Yahaya
3. Jigawa state: Badaru Mohammed
4. Kaduna state: Nasir El Rufai
5. Kano state: Umar Ganduje
6. Katsina state: Aminu Masari
7. Kwara state: A AbdulRasaq
8. Nasarawa state: Abdulahi Sule
9. Niger state: Abubakar Bello
10. Plateau state: Simon Lalong
11. Zamfara state: Bello Matawalle
12. Kebbi state: Atiku Bagudu
13. Yobe state: Mai Mala Buni
14. Kogi State: Yaya Bello

At the Eagle Square in Abuja, 13 of them campaigned for and got Tinubu elected as the Presidential flagbearer of the APC.
Today, all these governors, including Yaya Bello of Kogi State are supporting Tinubu and there is no crack in their ranks.

Can Atiku or Kwankwanso or Obi peel away any of these govs?

Can any of these opposition candidates win any of these states without the governor's support?

For emphasis I have also included the south-western states under APC control or in Tinubu’s electoral basket:

The South-Western APC state are:
1. Lagos: Sanwo-Olu
2. Ekiti: Abiodun Oyebanji
3. Ogun: Dapo Abiodun
4. Ondo: Rotimi Akeredolu
5. Osun
6. Oyo
Which of these states can Atiku or Kwankwanso or Obi win?

To complicate Atiku’s path to victory is the enthusiasm being generated mostly in some southern cities for Peter Obi's Candidacy. In the south, the PDP is mostly dominant in the South South and South East. Even 3 of the governors in these states are APC!

In 2015, the APC won mainly because all the opposition political parties merged and formed a formidable political platform whereas the ruling PDP was enmeshed in an intractable crisis and a political war of attrition with at least 5 sitting governors, the Senate President, Speaker of the House of Representatives, several senators and House of Representatives members including serving Ministers leaving the party. The exact reverse scenario is playing out in 2023. The APC is intact but the opposition is sinking deeper into opposition and is fragmented with Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwanso leaving the PDP. The PDP G-5 governors have crossed the rubicon and will not be supporting Atiku’s candidacy in the presidential election. They are expected to declare their support for either Tinubu or less likely Peter Obi in the coming days. This will be fatal to Atiku’s chances and unlikely to shore up Peter Obi's chances in any significant manner.

Until we see a crack in the APC governor's support, Tinubu is sitting pretty well and the odds are clearly in his favour to win.

The opponents of the APC Candidate say the Buhari administration has not done well but this is vehemently contested by APC party stalwarts who insist that Buhari is the best thing to happen to Nigeria. Will this count during the 2023 Presidential election? The answer so far is No using Ekiti gov election as a barometer, even though it is a very small sample size. Even the Osun election was won by PDP simply because Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola and his faction of the APC are alleged to have worked against the candidate of the APC.

Those opposed to Tinubu, rather than hold him to a campaign of issues are wasting their time with his age, alleged ill-health, his Muslim choice as running mate etc. They even want the courts and INEC to disqualify Tinubu. None of these will work or even happen!
Indeed, Tinubu has so far campaigned more hungrily and more comprehensively than any of his challengers. From the UK to Saudi Arabia, then Kano and Edo states and then back to Kano...all in 4 days! On monday, 9th January, he will be in Adamawa state with President Muhammadu Buhari leading the charge for votes in the state and other core northern states in quick succession putting a lie to the claim by the PDP that Buhari has vowed not to join the Asiwaju campaign train. The supposedly fitter candidates are all lagging behind Asiwaju.

The only way to defeat Tinubu will be at the ballot by all the opposition candidates stepping down for only one of them but this will also never happen. Tinubu is still in pole position for now and coasting to victory.

Atiku lacks the bite....majority of southerners are also unlikely to stomach a potential 16 years of a northerner presidency. In a very commendable display of statesmanship, patriotism and to guarantee national cohesion stability, the political leaders of Northern Nigeria also desire to respect the North-South power rotation on which plank President Goodluck Jonathan was defeated in the North and then eventually nationally in 2015.

It is almost late in the day to upstage the entrenched political system in Nigeria and by the current political and electoral system and in a free and fair contest, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu appears unstoppable and a Jagaban presidency looms large.

Dr. Philip Ugbodaga
Citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (CFRN)

you are seriously a baby politician. Do you know how many governors PDP had before Buhari win GEJ? Do you think the north care about your fcking party?
What were you thinking when Atiku stood as a father during Buhari son's wedding?
Now let me me tell you something, I can swear to you that Atiku is winning Katsina state. Go to emir of Daura house, you will Atiku picture at the palace, the emire himself endorsed Atiku publicly.
It will take the grace of God for Tinubu to win one state in the north.
Don't forget that even me I was a die hard supporter of APC.
How many people are happy with the so called governors?
There are 3 groups of person that determine the voting pattern of the north
1) religious leaders
2) traditional leaders
3) Ex generals.
Did you forget that Osun state was APC before Adeleke of PDP won? If PDP can beat APC in Tinubu home state, what else do you think will happen to APC in far away north?
Mr man,go to the street and see how many people are happy with APC.
Do you think I will buy rice 50 thousands (#50000) and I will still vote for APC?
Do you those people that are sleeping in feeling stations just because they want to buy fuel will vote for APC?
Do you think the students that stayed for almost a year at home will still vote for APC?

Sai mun bata wuta.

gypsey:
She is not clever, if i were her lawyer i woulda adviced her to claim that she was kidnapped by the kidnappers, even now that it appears that she confessed to murder and even with the dead body there, i can still get her off the murder hook, confession doesn't mean guilty.she could claim she was afraid, was forced or coerced to confess. Nigerian poiice and their investigative and forensic system are rubbish.

did you see any form of force in the interview? No judge will watch this video and still believe that she was forced to make the statement.

Gidigidi and emmergination3 your days are numbered. We will get you the way we got this girl.

BRIMBRAM:
Too much unnecessary talk. My brother, stop being deluded. Stop being blind. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is Nigeria's next president.

what is the name of Tinubu primary and secondary school?
Why was he licking the microphone?
I know you will run away from these questions.

Tinubu go pee for trousers today again.
God bless Atiku the in-coming president of Nigeria.

Sweetplum:
Melaye is a handbag. Atiku is not as healthy as Tinubu

sure? No wonder Tinubu is licking microphone.

donphilopus:
Yes. He would win Bornu, Yobe, Gombe, Zamfara, Katsina, Kano, Kogi, Niger, Kwara. Guy, you ain't normal.

I can bet you on that.

donphilopus:
Continue deluding yourself.

Has any of the three aforementioned groups endorsed Atiku yet? You know nothing about politics. You're just an ethnic jingoist.

please what is the name of Tinubu primary and secondary school?
Why was Tinubu licking the microphone?
Answer the 2 questions and Tinubu will get 1 million votes from me.

toujurs:
Tinubu said he made, buhari a president.

why didn't him make Nuhu Ribadu?why didn't him make Atiku?
Then why is he begging Buhari to attend his rallies in the north.

donphilopus:
Oh. I understand you're a northerner Christian. I wouldn't condemn you again. Let's see how it goes.

But just so you know, the only time Atiku won a primary election prior to 2019 and this 2023, it was Tinubu who gave him his party platform. He was only able to secure 2m votes nationwide then. When he contested against Buhari in 2019, he lost his polling unit and his region, the northeast. Atiku only believes in politics of money but he has been out spent by Tinubu who's richer and who happens to be the godfather of Lagos.

This election go shock you.

if Tinubu is the one that make Buhari president,why didn't him make Atiku or Nuhu Ribadu?
Don't forget that Atiku was the one that represents Buhari ( father) during Buhari son's wedding.
Buhari and Atiku also marry from the same family.
Some APC governors are working for Atiku
Wait ooh! Why are you voting for Tinubu? A man that is licking microphone? God! You guys are disgracing this country I swear.
Just imagine Tinubu is the president (Godforbid) and start licking the microphone as he stood up to present his speech in an international conference where other world leaders are. What will you say?

donphilopus:
But you worshipped same man when he supported Buhari in 2015 and 2019. You're a hypocrite.

I said that I was supporting Tinubu before. But when he decided to go for Muslim Muslim ticket that is the reason I withdraw my support.
The worst part is that the man that Tinubu picked as vice is a religious fanatic. Do you know that shetima was the person that stop the teaching of CRS in Borno state when he was the governor?

toujurs:
Why then was he a failed presidential candidate, until tinubu party merged with buhari party.

Before buhari won, the presidential election

Tinubu was with Nuhu Ribadu why didn't him win?
Tinubu was with Atiku why didn't him win?
Go and check the 2019 election results, Buhari would have won without the south west votes.
South West gave Buhari less than 3 million votes and Buhari beat Atiku with almost 4 million votes.

donphilopus:
Lies. Which Atiku? Wasn't I in the north just three weeks ago? Oga nor dey deceive yourself. Tinubu would comfortably win the north central and northwest and if care isn't taken he would beat Atiku in the northeast.

The endorsements Tinubu has gotten in the north from people that matter, has Atiku gotten half? Stop deceiving people online. That you're an ethnic jingoist doesn't mean the rest of northerners are. The north remembers and they would pay back.

Oga continue fooling yourself. I am a northerner and I know what iam talking about.
You are talking about endorsement, you are a baby politician.
In the north 3 groups determine the voting pattern of the north
1) Religious leaders
2) traditional leaders
3) the ex generals.
Even me today I will endorsed Tinubu if I can get the millions but God know that nobody in my entire family will vote for Tinubu.
Even Buhari will vote for Atiku.

Saintinoo:
According to them, Northern APC governors have 1m.votes each, and will vote for Tinubu.

they are joking. I am a northerner, I know what the people are saying now. Atiku will win all the northern states.

Espelbengz:
A rented crowd can't change a damn thing, APC can decide to do same in any of Atiku's campaign! That's why it's called politics of the fittest and not for noise makers!!

do you know Adamawa? Even Buhari has never beat Atiku in Adamawa state.
Come to the north and hear what the people are talking. Everywhere is Atiku in the north.

toujurs:
Buhari was never mighty, it took him tinubu who had the south west at their neck and rotimi ameachi, and some igbo supporters to get him the president seat.

Buhari was never mighty.

how many votes did the south west give to Buhari?
No presidential candidate ever had 12million followers that will follow you no matter the party except Buhari.
Buhari is the most popular politician in the north followed by Atiku.
