Omooba77: The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF, on Friday, lambasted former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal over what it described as “narrow-minded, unguarded political sentimentalism and provocative stance” over the 2023 presidency.
Rising from its meeting, chaired by the National President of AYCF, Yerima Shettima, the group said there can be no better choice of running mate for the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu than Senator Kashim Shettima, who is a nationalist to the core.
In a statement he signed, Shettima said “no one should turn our democratic space into the home of religious extremism”.
Shettima said Lawal and his co-travellers in the “myopic, sentimental stance, should stop this madness in this new century of advancement all over the world”.
The AYCF Chairman queried the former SGF and all the proponents of “this distraction and dangerous religious extremism”, saying ” we are familiar with the antics of narrow-minded, emotionally-driven politicians wearing religious garb”.
He said, “Talking of Muslim-Muslim ticket, have these charlatans become so blinded by emotional religious fixation that they forgot history? We had a Christian-Christian ticket with Awolowo under the UPN in 1978 and Azikiwe under the UNPP when he picked Professor Ishaya Audu – another Christian as running mate”.
Going further, the AYCF recalled that “since the emergence of democracy till date, the South-south, South-east states have never given a chance for Muslims to taste the seat of running mates even at the level of governorship”.
He further warned the “anti-Shettima campaign promoters to shut up before they create bad blood along religious fault-lines and drag the nation into further insecurity".
AfonjaEmir: With the electioneering preparations gathering steam, its now pertinent to ask this question. If you have a business interest and you want it to be successful, who do you hand it over to?
Tinubu
Atiku
Peter Obi. R
This is in response to a thread by @helinus concerning Peter Obi vs Shettima...
candidtalk: Disgraceful of Afenifere but they no longer matter and no longer weild any sort of influence so their endorsement of Obi is not here nor there.
Important to note as well that almost all influential Yoruba leaders are 100% behind Tinubu.
Stupid association... He no go better for any afenifere group... Una go soon go leave for east..
Simplythebest: Clap for ur self what a pity that we still have young people that still reason like u in this country.
I reason better than u do.... Tell us what your obi did special in anambra state that other governors has not done before .... His greatest achievements is anambra state University.... Is it not State governor that built Lagos State University ? ... We don't want a mediocrity thinking leader... We want great thinker/ achiever like bola hammed Tinubu....
Thanksful: What development exist in Lagos that is not linked to federal government and Nigerian airway and seaport in Lagos?
I hope you are not typing from the same Lagos... I don't do back and forth with Obidient any longer.... I just want to use dis Medium to tell you not to labour invain...
Sylraph1: Even though I partly agree to what kemi has said,I also concur with Abike assertions. Yes Nigeria leaders are extremely corrupt and deeply rooted in embezzlement of public funds and that's the main reason we are canvassing for Peter obi. A man who have shown to be free from corruption and high on integrity. Many have tried to drag him down but have failed woefully. He is the man for the job and am glad many Nigerians have began to break free from their shackles.
Vote Peter Obi for a brighter future.
Who is going to vote that fraudulent man ... Abeg vote your lieing aspirant and let nigeria youths vote great JAGABAN
swaggerjack: Nigerians are making the same mistake they did with Olusegun Obasanjo and Mohammadu Buhari, this time with Peter Obi. Nigerians have a flawed logic that a Messiah will come and fix the country overnight and like sheep with a herd mentality assign a new political personality as the chosen one sent from God.
I remember the celebrations and joy in the streets, churches and mosques when Obasanjo was released from prison and when he won the presidential elections. Nigerians thought with his near death and prison experience under Abacha, he had come to salvage the nation.
Nigerians forgot the past antecedents of Obasanjo when he ruled the nation. This was a man that turned Operation Feed The Nation, to his personal feeding project to corner lands across the country. It was no surprise Obasanjo tenure turned out to be no different from Sani Abacha when it came to corruption, human rights abuses and infrastructural decay across the nation.
Step in Mohammadu Buhari who even Redeemed Christian Church of God Pastor Adeboye and many pastors vouched for and allowed to use their platform to ascend to Aso Rock. We were told Buhari was the Messiah Nigerians had been waiting for who had come to salvage the country and fight corruption to a standstill.
Nigerians again forgot his past antecedents for lack of respect for human rights, selective corruption fight, incompetence in handling the economy and nepotism.
Now step in Peter Obi who Nigerians are declaring as the next Messiah and have bestowed on him sainthood when they are not the Pope. They choose to overlook his past antecedents of going against the constitution and not conducting local government elections throughout his tenure. Can Peter Obi give account of the local government funds he collected for eight years when he ruled Anambra state?
Nigerians are choosing to overlook serious flaws identified in Peter Obi past. Such as a penchant for continously lieing even when not required, such as saying he only has one wristwatch and no house outside Onitsha in Anambra state.
Peter Obi has enough corruption scandals surrounding him to match the leading candidates Atiku Abubakar and Bola Tinubu, to have sainthood declared on him.
Most of the idotics and toxicology miscreants abusing great Tinubu are paid by the labour party and pdp..
Obidient are lunatcs and a bigoted fanatics like thier idolize obituary failure...
I can never vote or being brainwash by a pathological liar ... Who failed to developed small anambra...
Alots of anambranians are suffering running down to Lagos to stay.... Even p-sqaure are not left out...
P-sqaure wey use thier mama do ritual for �...shio...
Again lest I forget we know Lagos is Yoruba and we know you are not from Lagos so quit famzying with Lagos, Lagos is for all of us not only Yoruba, if you want to contest it then go back to your shack in Ekiti or Okitipupa and stop famzying with Lagos.[/quote]See emotional painment Did u see Lagos in your fatom Biafra map ? Your eye go clear very soon... U better go back to your aba and be selling human part as usual , u dis cannibal...
obynzo: Oga you are fighting a losing war. Just admit it Lagos has been ranked the second worst liveable city in the world that alone is an embarrassment for us, but you just to satisfy the money your paymasters have given you which is crumbs want to defend the indefensible
Stay off my mention if u don't have anything to say Lagos , Yoruba...
Seefinish: When a Yoruba man supports a Emi Lokan drugs baron to be the president, Jagabandists will call him a nationalist but when an Igbo man supports his own the same Jagabandists will call him a bigot.
Oga keep shut...go and support your padorama obituary in peace
At least he didn't pay $25,000 to get the votes of delegates during primary..
Him even get the money... No ibo man get money reach Tinubu... How much anambra get.... Shio... Tell your obituary to go and regovern anambra by promax ...we don't need himnat the national level... Because him too dey lie....and he failed woefully to turn anambra around.. today anambra still look primitive and underdeveloped
Basiljoe: Lmao. You're just a stupid troll. I was born and bred in lagos and I can tell you that lagos slums are worst than those pictures there. You can't find the same type of slums in lagos, in anambra. Lagos is one of the most unliveable cities in the world, it was ranked on nairalands homepage few weeks back. Dirty, overpopulated, congested, filled with touts, agberos and abokis like yourself.
A giant mega slumville only behind ibadan, the brown roof slumcity
You Afonjas and dirtyness and poverty are like 5 and 6, no wonder kwara was ranked the open defacation capital of the world.

I repeat Peter obituary is a fraudster and a pathological liar... From underdeveloped region of cannibalism in eastern region of Nigeria.. Oya kill ya self
post=114238256: Ignorant mind Anambra has the lowest poverty rate in Nigeria, state with highest numbers of rich dudes, you know the facts it's just that envy and bitterness will not let you accept the fact
Which fact ? Abeg excuse me with your audio billionaires mantra ?
IlovePMB: This is for those who think that voting someone because of his tribe or religion will benefit them. Here, Peter Obi said he saw Christians studying in Egypt which is a Muslim country. In other words our problem in Nigeria is that bad leaders use religion to get votes but at the end of the day, they are like drivers that learnt how to drive using old cars. How can such a driver drive modern cars. He would simply crash the car. Try and listen to this 4 minuits video and have a rethink.
With all dis camouflage...why did he failed in anambra ? U meant he was not knowledgeable then to govern ?.... Peter obi failed anambranians....for good 8 years of is tenor.... Till date anambra still look primitive
post=114237766: Take your time and view videos through these links below, he did all these without borrowing, even when the state was in huge debts and mess, he cleared all the debts, always paying workers as at when due, didn't owe pensioners or gratuities, executed all the projects without owing contractors or suppliers before his tenure ended, still invested billions for the state and left 75 billion naira in three different banks for his predecessor, Labour unions know his antecedents that's why they are backing him
