I have put two and two together.

I said it here first that Tinubu was going to pick Kwankwaso as VP and some people thought I was kidding. They thought Shettima couldn’t be replaced, but we all saw it later play out later.

That Kwankwaso plan failed because the US intervened.

If Tinubu doesn’t drop his muslim VP in 2027, Trump may take action against him. I don’t think they’ll even let him contest the election. They’ll accuse him of something and that’s all it takes.

His only chance of contesting the 2027 election is picking a Christian VP from the North.

So he dropped the idea of Kwankwaso as VP, and Kwankwaso has refused to join APC for anything other than VP position. His best chance right now is ADC with PO as Presidential candidate.

Because Atiku does not do fair primaries
since ATIKU does not do fair primary didn't OBI see ATIKU in ADC before going there ? He must not run away since he is already in ADC he must participate that primary election with ATIKU, ameachi and others. Nothing like free ticket or vice presidential ticket for obi

Why President Tinubu May Not Secure a Second Term


As Nigeria edges toward another election cycle, the question of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s reelection is becoming increasingly contentious. While incumbency traditionally offers an advantage in Nigerian politics,


Tinubu’s presidency faces structural, economic, and political challenges that could significantly undermine his chances at the polls.



1. Economic Hardship Has Defined His Tenure

For many Nigerians, the Tinubu presidency is inseparable from economic pain.


The removal of fuel subsidies and the floating of the naira were presented as bold reforms, but the immediate consequence has been soaring inflation, rising transportation costs, and declining purchasing power. Salaries have not kept pace with prices, and poverty has deepened across urban and rural areas alike.
Elections in Nigeria are often referendums on living conditions. When citizens feel poorer than they were four years earlier, promises of long-term reform struggle to outweigh daily hardship.




2. The “Renewed Hope” Narrative Has Worn Thin

Tinubu campaigned on a message of renewed hope and technocratic competence. However, for a significant portion of the electorate, that hope has not translated into tangible improvements. Power supply remains unreliable, unemployment persists, and small businesses continue to collapse under high operating costs.



Political messaging loses potency when lived experience contradicts official optimism. By 2027, slogans may no longer persuade voters who feel abandoned.



3. Weak Popular Connection Outside Party Structures

Tinubu is widely regarded as a master political strategist, but his strength lies more in elite coalition-building than mass appeal.


Unlike leaders who command organic grassroots enthusiasm, his support base is heavily institutional—anchored in party machinery rather than emotional loyalty.


In an era of rising youth political consciousness and social media-driven mobilization, this gap could prove costly, especially if opposition candidates energize younger voters.



4. Insecurity Remains a National Wound
From banditry in the northwest to separatist tensions in the southeast and persistent insurgency threats, insecurity remains unresolved.


While no administration can fix these problems overnight, public patience is limited. When fear and displacement persist, voters often seek change, not continuity.



5. A Fragmenting Political Coalition


The coalition that brought Tinubu to power was broad but fragile. Internal party tensions, dissatisfaction among regional power brokers, and shifting alliances could weaken the ruling party’s cohesion. Nigerian politics is fluid; yesterday’s allies frequently become tomorrow’s rivals.



If opposition parties manage even a modest level of unity, incumbency alone may not be enough.


6. The Burden of Expectations



Tinubu’s long political career is a double-edged sword. His supporters expected mastery and swift results, not prolonged adjustment pains.


High expectations magnify disappointment, and disappointment fuels electoral backlash.
Conclusion
President Tinubu may still command influence, resources, and political experience—but reelection is not guaranteed.


In Nigeria, power ultimately rests on perception: whether citizens believe their lives are improving or deteriorating. If economic hardship, insecurity, and public disillusionment persist, the 2027 election could become less about party loyalty and more about a collective demand for change.
In that scenario,


President Tinubu’s greatest challenge may not be his opponents—but the verdict of everyday Nigerian reality.
PoliticsRe: The Obi Vs Atiku Quagmire Is So Deep That You Need a PhD in Politics to Unravel by yarimo(m): 8:15pm On Jan 17
Why consensus? Obi want to be president yet he don't want to participate in primary election isn't that sign of unserious candidate?
givedemwotowoto:
If Peter Obi is not the consensus candidate, Atiku faces the risk of vote buying in the south eroding his chances – with people thinking there's nothing in it for them (due to his age and record of corruption concerns), which makes them go for the highest bidder.

However, there's a strong possibility that over 60% of Peter Obi supporters will vote for Atiku if he endorses Atiku.

Why? Because politics is about interest.

Atiku represents the interests of the larger group of the northern population. With Peter Obi as a strong ally, the majority of the south who subscribe to Peter Obi's movement feel comfortable. Moreover, people see no future ahead with Tinubu's re-election, which will strengthen opposition candidacy even more.

Yes, the North and South dynamics is a political agreement, but Tinubu doesn't really represent the South, that's why he got only 3.2 millon out of his 8.8 million votes from the South. He represents the interests of a specific political group of people who are openly promoting tribal and religious bigotry and see it as a survival mechanism. Their political structure is built on that foundation.

Validated:
If a Chief Judge disobeys a court order, who then is obliged to obey same?

The case in mind is that of Rivers State, where a High Court in PH has restrained the Rivers State Chief Judge from receiving, acknowledging and acting on the impeachment notice on Governor Fubara.

On a second thought, how is it possible that a High Court Judge can give instructions to his boss, the Chief Justice of his state.

All I see is "padi-padi soft landing for a disgraced landlord".
