Henrymas:
Stop the senseless apologies and obey the supreme court judgement by ordering your clueless and incompetent Central bank governor to roll out the old notes with immediate alacrity.

Exactly!

foleskay:
He's a betrayal. PDP made him governor. Not APC. Party loyalty before anything else.

Abi

Ofunaofu:
Makinde is in a middle of nowhere

He followed Wike to work against his party forgetting that he is seeking reelection on the same party he is working against

Abi

grandstar:
The suffering is better imagined.

At the very least, let the old notes in circulation still be used as legal tender until the CBN prints new notes. It shouldn't withdraw old notes from circulation until it has enough new notes to replace that deposited.

many people still have the old notes, so its use as legal tender will suffice or reduce the level of suffering a lot

Abi. This stubbornness of CBN is highly uncalled for! In saner climes, both the old notes and new notes are allowed to co-exist until the old notes are phased out. Why is ours different? I wonder if we are really practicing democracy with this flagrant disregard of court orders by the executive arm of government.

Caseless:


This people are useless. Emefiele is a domkop. He didn't need the finance minister or any minister to activate this policy, but he's waiting for legal advise from "atanni" general to respect the Supreme Court. Once Supreme rules, it becomes an order and a law immediately. We need to do a lot with our system.

You can say that again! I wonder how they keep disregarding court orders like this! It is a very bad precedence!

barojana:
What legal advice could supercede the directive of the highest court in the land.

I wonder o!

benuejosh:
As in wether to disobey Supreme Court judgment?

Abi?

Can you imagine the rubbish Wike is saying? The party performed abysmally in the state in these last elections with your stupid alignments and you are rubbing it in their faces? I have never seen where blatant anti-party activities are given out like that without any sort of seeming punishments by the party they belong to.

SmartPolician:
They should get an injunction demanding Lagos REC to post governorship election PU results in real time on Saturday.

It's okay for Sanwo-Olu to win, but the upcoming elections must be free, fair and credible. We cannot live in tech-driven 2023 and be acting like we still exist in 1999 🥱

Abi

Zimkay:
They could have declared whatever they wanted instead of wasting huge of money on rubbish claiming that election was conducted....

Abi. They didn't need to spend those huge money on BVAS since they didn't really use it anyways!

He has a point though! How INEC released guidelines that they will use electronic transmission and then changed the rules in the middle of the game to manual transmission without no problems encountered is why everybody is in uproar. Imo, Nigeria is practicing a pseudo-democracy and will be practicing that for a long time especially with the desperation of the ruling party.

modernWays:
How did you know he won those places you mentioned?

Are you an INEC officer in charge of result to be so sure about that?

What some of you kids don't know is that, election in Nigeria is secret ballot, you will never know who anyone voted for until result are announce. Some people might be supporting your candidate but voted another person at polling boot. Some are just following you because that is what is trending, but deep in them, they want someone else.

Alot of your utopia supporters has families, friends, mothers, fathers, etc who are the core members of rulling party. Do you expect this type of people to denied them and vote Obi? This is what they called STRUCTURE. Structure win you election not ordinary individuals followers.

We said the same thing about the structure they do not have.

modernWays:
Obi know the truth, just using emotion to capture the hearts of his brainless supporters against next election in 2027.

How on earth will you say you won election you only had 25% in 16 states. If they conduct this election 100 times, Obi with his style of hatred politic will never secure a required 25% in 24 states, especially in the Muslims north. This is his greatest undone that his supporters failed to understand.

Abi. You can say that again! Obi was the most divisive and tribal candidate I have seen in this dispensation!

Grgton:
According to INEC Benue pple voted for APC

Same APC that killed slaughtered them??

Nawa oo

They have a bad case of Stockholm syndrome in that state! They never seem to learn!

mancoconut:
Don't worry Fulani herdsmen are just testing microphone, they were even nice under Buhari government, now they have a Muslim/Muslim government to do even worse...I have absolutely no sympathy for Benue people, to each their own at this point in Nigeria.

Abi. They clearly didn't learn with the humongous votes they gave the lifeless one in 2019 despite how their people were massacred in the first term.

Mynd44:
Seyi Gambled when he decided to be neutral in the presidential/NASS elections.

Now I hope his works will be enough to see him through on March 11.


His actions were politically naive and his opponents will cqpitalize on it

Exactly! His being a political neophyte and having such kind of people around him has not helped him at all.

MJib:
You're disliked by 14.5m plus people n liked by 8.7m plus people. That should not stop you. Stay focused n you'll surely achieve your dreams.

Very great lesson here!

Bhol28:
Election not won only by the LIKES and SHARES on SOCIAL MEDIA.Millions of real voters are not on Nairaland,Twitter e.t.c

Abi

casualobserver:
1). You cannot become president of Nigeria without spread. So make friends not enemies.

2) most Nigerians are so busy thinking with their hearts not their heads they miss the obvious, right in front of them.

3) the Ibos remain the most tribalalistic tribe in this country.

4) Trust is earned, in the end (both at the primaries and the election) it was the North that saved Tinubu. Sometimes you have to give 1st.

5).Just as your own can betray you, your enemies today can one day help you, e.g Wike,

Exactly. #1 is the lesson for those Obidients crooners.

Omoluabi16:
walahi. Tinubu will have to inevitably work with him, PDP or not. After all them be same yooba.
All these politicking by makinde will backfire.

Abi. The way Tinubu views Oyo state as a prize for APC shown by his actions in the 2019 elections shows this election on the 11th is going to be war!

Think9ja:
There are so many lessons.

1. Never betray your benefactor. E.g Like what Pandora did to Atiku

2 Never hate a person because everyone hates the person. E.g Igbos against Tinubu

3 Always attack a common enemy by unity and alliances. E.g PDP and LP were not United and no alliances formed.

4.Never be too confident of victory. E g Atiku was too confident of victory

5.Never let your emotions cloud your judgements. E g nzogbu nzogbu politics didn't allow the igbos to look at the bigger picture. Now the person they love to hate is their next president.

I will drop more lessons when it gets to front page.

Exactly! Caveat on the Atiku was too confident of victory, he saw the writings on the wall with the fragmented opposition and incursions into his votes but was fighting two wars at the same time, one within his party and one outside. Not much he could do.

Throwback:
Greatest lesson is don't believe in your own delusion too much.

You can say that again! That was the lesson and bitter pill to swallow especially for the disunited opposition and a certain "structure" candidate.

sotall:
That you should always take every bad news of poverty, unemployment, mass killings, huge corruption that we see everyday with a pinch of salt.

During election, a significant number of those affected by government bad policies will still vote for them.

You can say that again! Was shocking seeing those humongous votes for APC who have been abysmal for 8 years especially for the last 4 years! We said it then that this was going to be the most divisive election and votes were going to be along tribal lines. We turned out to be right.

obembet:
Dear Nairalanders, What was the greatest lesson for you in this election ?

The greatest lesson is how the opposition failed to unite based on personal greed especially the one that said he will win without structure (he was still 3rd in the elections). They all went home empty-handed! I hope we now know that the two major parties will continue to be in competition until a seismic event enters our politics. Why? Because they have the structure and nationwide appeal (Atiku got at least 25% in 26 states while Mr. I will win without structure didn't meet the at least 25% in 24 states requirement - he only got that in 16 states way off the 24 states required).

seunlayi:
Winning for him will no more be smooth



Oluwaseyi Abiodun Omo Makinde shame on you, you sold your party presidential bid and your state National Assembly candidates. See the disaster you brought to yourself. Let opposition Guber candidate Comes together before the election, they will all vote you out of that place if care is not taken. The bitterness you inherited from Wike will hunt your political career instead of putting your party first. See what adeleke just did in his State, he delivered it to his party

You can say that again! Being first a party man is very very key. Look at Adeleke.

Yinmu! This kleptocrat and incoming dictator be the people's servant? I laugh in French

Amotolongbo:
It remains Makinde

Makinde used his head aligning with Tinubu. If that will save him from drowning, we shall see.

Hmmmm

Nazgul:
Since Kaduna results started coming in, I haven't heard from El Rufai. Some should check if he's alright.

You can say that again! The coming gubernatorial elections in Kaduna not looking good for El-Rufai and his party at all.

abobote:
That thug called Wike took his own rigging to another level

How PDP will not expel him and Ortom for these obvious anti-party activities is what I don't know. PDP should show seriousness in expelling those two! Let them go to the parties they endorsed! After Makinde if he wins the elections on March 11, hand out six month suspensions to him and the remaining 2 governors in the G5. How you can betray and hold a party to ransom who gave you the platform as governors and there seems to be no punishments from the party beats me!

Worst election in a while on par with the Iwuruwuru 2007 election SMH. When this happens, it is a call for military regime again unfortunately.
