Party ward chairmen and members in remote locality even if they have banks , cash is far better during outreach at remote location

So they don't have bank details?

Logistics, can't you contract logistics company to help you move thing anywhere in Nigeria?

Ireportlive:
Not in rural location and during grassroot

what agents are you talking about?
What are the roles of these agents who don't have bank details?

What are they been paid for?

Ireportlive:
Campaign logistics requires liquidity.. am not sure about vote buying but finances must be available to agent in cash

What do you mean by agents?

What agents? They don't have bank accounts?

Ireportlive:
Campaign logistics requires liquidity.. am not sure about vote buying but finances must be available to agent in cash

What do you mean by campaign logistics?

Can those be done via transfers?

Ireportlive:
At the first Lagos Presidential APC Primaries Tinubu also bought Delegates for Buhari and Osinbajo... He knows about delegate buying. Also if Buhari wanted to stop delegate buying in 2022 Banks and EFCC can step in

Buhari is just playing to the gallery... Aisha Buhari and all his daughters travel together with APC women campaign team, He travels with Tinubu on Northern Campaign, the head of minting company Ahmed Halilu is Aisha's brother yet you think Buhari isn't just playing games

So are you of the opinion that APC is relying on vote buying as a tool to win this election?

Dsalvo:
Do you not think that APC delegates actually want Tinubu as their candidate and future President?

Well, that's hard to say but going by what we heard from the primaries, it is very logical to say that the highest bidder got the ticket.

Don't you think that it's why Buhari and the cabals are bent on compromising Tinubu's chances?

Don't you think that this policy is specifically meant to ensure that vote buying is controlled during election and then still resolve other issue on a long run?

LordAdam16:
I can practically feel the apprehension from the urchins following Buhari's broadcast.

That said, for the anti-Tinubu forces, you should understand Buhari is not reliable.

I'm pro-Atiku. But the fact is that if the only thing standing between Tinubu and Aso Rock is Buhari, then Tinubu remains the frontrunner.

I can never rely on Buhari to come through. He has elevated failure to an art form.

That is why Tinubu did his homework and logged credible support from APC governors, the Sultan, and most Northern elite. Other candidates should do the same rather than rely on that quarter-to-collapse Almajiri.

I would appreciate if Buhari works for Atiku, but I cannot count on it. Anybody that hopes on Buhari is on a long thing and deserves the expected disappointment. I will only acknowledge Buhari's help for Atiku when Atiku is announced the winner. Because he could have truncated Tinubu at the Primaries and forced the sniffer to SDP, rather than allow the situation get this tight.

-Lord

How do you think a northern govnernor can him Tinubu win his state with this cash policy and BVAS?

Especially, if the people of the state do not like his candidate and Buhari is bent on a credible election

Ireportlive:
Same way it's said so before primaries....

Buhari is simply staying neutral to the public. But Tinubu still enjoys full benefits of the Federal Government

Don't you think that Tinubu used money to buy the primaries and it is exectlt what Buhari is fighting now?

Phoen1X:
Well,..dont underestimate him,...he still has oluomo and thousands of urchins plus billions of unsold tones of cocaine.

can they fight federal government?

Dsalvo:
Buhari is not a sagacious, strategic or studious politician though he can be bullishly stubborn using power in pursuit of what he wants.

Many have surmised Mr.President took on this policy on advisement from Emefiele and co who fed into Buhari's desperation to stop Tinubu to then begin feathering their own nest with outlandish suggestions that lines their own pocket but does nothing to stop Tinubu.

Even Tinubu himself defiantly mocked this in his speech in Abeokuta that fuel or Naira scarcity will not prevent the people going out to vote for him.

Cast your mind back to APC primaries to note we have seen all these desperate antics before such as the announcement of Lawan as consensus candidate by the Party chairman and the many flirtation with GEJ plus nemerous back and forth over direct primaries, indirect primaries, ashaow joint primaries etc, etc, etc.

All those undemocratic and wicked machinations failed. This policy will not stop Tinubu either because it is those who hate him who cannot accept he is popular and therefore continue to make themselves amenable to the deception of Emefiele and co in their desperate effort to thwart Jagaban.

Don't you think that Tinubu bought APC primaries with money and that it's the same thing that Buhari is trying to fight?

Flathead8:
I'm a northerner, the fuel scarcity and naira redesign has reduce support for Tinubu in the north.. Atiku will get symphaty votes

Hmmm, that's so insightful

Jones4190:
obi will not get up to 6m vote, he only want to take atiku votes

are you tired of this nonsense statement? 🤣

Tinubu is also stealing Obi's votes in NC and SW

Ireportlive:
Same way it's said so before primaries....

Buhari is simply staying neutral to the public. But Tinubu still enjoys full benefits of the Federal Government

okay, you opinion is well acknowledged

Ireportlive:
Tinubu had a closed door meeting with Buhari yesterday... What makes you think his Federal might isn't intact

the body language of Buhari is glaringly saying that

Dsalvo:
Buhari is not trying to create a level playing field. If you have been observing his clearly partisan utterances and actions, that started more than two years ago, then you would know a 'level playing' field is the last thing on Buhari's mind.

We will see how things unfold

How would this policy create undue advantage for other parties?

Dsalvo:
OP, what is really happening between the political powers is a cold War.

What Buhari is attempting to do is win the battle without understanding he does not have enough time to win the War.

Those against him are eventually poised to win the war, regardless of what Buhari does, because of the reality of Nigeria. In fact many of Buhari's actions actually help those opposed to his ultimate goal and agenda.

In the end, even if Buhari and his 'capitans' manage to win the battle by making Atiku President, which is their mission, they only make their loss of the War more inevitable and hasten the deliverance of what they ultimately fear more than anything else in the world.

Nigerians are fixated with Tinubu's win or loss but overarching issues are about much more than.

The most important consideration concerns Nigeria becoming free or continuing in bondage and oppression.

Those two are the agendas being fought over that are bigger than Buhari and Tinubu who are merely todays champions of each agitation even if Nigerians cannot work this out.

Why don't you believe that Nigerians can choose their leaders and that Buhari is trying to give everyone a leveling playing ground?

Be like all is working for the good of obedients

What's your opinion?

The federal might factor to manipulate many things has gone, what are Tinubu's chances now?

Googledotcom:
Since Buhari thinks he's the only one that knows how to disobey court order, I will not listen to him either. I will wait for supreme court judgment.

Supreme Court doesn't have the Jurisdiction to stop monetary policies. It's in the constitution but you an average African.
An average African cannot read, if you want him not to see anything, put it inside a book.

I am fully and 100% with Buhari on this

The Naira Redesign and Daily Cash Withdrawal Limit policies, are policies of the Central Bank of Nigeria. Only the Federal High Court has jurisdiction in disputes arising from or related to Central Bank policies, and anything having to do with the Naira as the Legal Tender in Nigeria. Section 251(1)(d) Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 provides: “Notwithstanding anything to the contained in this Constitution and in addition to such other jurisdiction as may be conferred upon it by an Act of the National Assembly, the Federal High Court shall have and exercise jurisdiction to the exclusion of any other court in civil causes and matters — connected with or pertaining to banking, banks, other financial institutions, including any action between one bank and another, any action by or against the Central Bank of Nigeria arising from banking, foreign exchange, coinage, Legal Tender , bills of exchange, letters of credit, promissory notes and other fiscal measures…”. Thus, it is submitted that the proper court to have filed the case is the Federal High Court, and not the Supreme Court. Besides, it is submitted that, the proper party to sue is the CBN.

I hate APC so much eh.
What kind of campaign is this?

Flier:
Now Politician should be able to buy vote with just 1000 naira new note instead of 10,000 naira
Mind you,only fool will believe that 22 APC Governors or ATIKU or OBI wont have enough new Note to spend on election day

this is a flimsy excuse

vicdom:
I agree, but sometimes the popularity of the candidates of other seats like senate and HoR usually influence the presidency. We Africans are not mainly conscious about personality, rather the party. Some people will just vote PDP and APC because of the popularity of their local candidates that equally on the ballots.

things have changed a lot.

Particularly for me, I am voting across party lines. LP for president, APC for governor, PDP for senate

3 things usually influence voting in the northern part of Nigeria.

1. Religion.
2. Ethnicity.
3. Competence.

I am going to divided northern states into 4 categories for the purpose of this illustration:

Category 1
This category includes states like Kano, Katsina, Sokoto, Kebii, Jigawa, zamfara, Borno, Niger, Yobe and Bauchi.
This category vote for Muslim candidates, historical data proves that. This category is usual anti-igbo candidate. Almost always often, someone from the north usually wins most of the states in this category as well.
This category is not interested in the competence of candidates, their first and second reason to vote before anything is religion and tribe.

Category 2
Adamawa, Plateau,Taraba, Nasarawa, Kaduna, Benue and kogi.

This category tends to vote in opposite direction to category 1 whenever the election is very contentious. The have a considerable amount of Christian population who always deliver massive votes to a top Christian contender.
This category to a certain extent considers the competence of a candidate than category 1. This category has a lot of anti-Fulani factor, hence the reason why they do not have the same voting pattern as category 1.


Category 3
Gombe
This category is somewhere in between category 1 and 2. However, it takes more attributes from category 1 but it's not totally category 1.
This state give Christians votes historically.
I don't know where those votes comes from but a part of Gombe is Anti-category 1. Data suggests so.

Category 4
Kwara
Whatever happens in southwest will influence this state.

wegevv:
You think LP is completely lost in Niger?

Based on these results they should be targeting those states as well as Niger, Osun and Kwara.

The only other state I'd pour resources into at this stage is Kano due to its huge population for the popular vote but they're not getting 25% there.

leave Kano.
Kano is a waste of time.

It will be a waste of resources invest scarce resources in northwest except Kaduna. Those guys are to tribalistic and religious to convince.

vicdom:
He didn't conduct the poll, Bantupage media crew did. However, if Wike genuinely works for Tinubu, APC will certainly get 25% in Rivers State. APC should get 25% in Edo too. You know that there are so many factors that would play key roles on the day of the election for the two big parties, APC and PDP which is strong structure base, it usually influence votes for them on the day of election even if the candidates are not that popular.

it's because they rig the election and do overvoting which BVAS will detect now.

Candidate popularity is the best bet for anyone now. No one is Going to conjure any figure for you, not even Wike can.

APC cannot get 25% in edo and rivers. They will had this election been conducted in 2015

Southwest--Peter Obi

Lol, delirium

All APC states 🤣🤣

garfield1:
Denying apc 25% in edo,rivers,crs bayelsa is funny while you allocated 25% to them in sw.obi won't see 25% outside lagos

lol, he didn't do the predictions. It's a poll conducted by southwest and that's the result.

You are just finding it difficult to accept because it's not what you expect

ORIAYO70:
Which stupid federal level say what U knew...

Fayose locked almost half of the banks in Ekiti sometimes ago

he locked for monetary policies?
Illiterate
