If Tinubu had worked for GEJ'S PDP Buhari will never be President. Also if Tinubu did not ensure Buhari won the APC primaries would Buhari be president?

mikeweezy:


is high time them join force with the south south and east......the north will not have any other choice than to bear the pain

sarrki:
Lol

Check very well what makes a president

You have to win 2/3 of all the regions

Wailers cry me a river

mightyhaze:
So how does all this load of crappy info add value to the average starving and devastated almajiri/agberos?

positivelord:
the truth remains that without Tinubu , there is no way Buhari could have win the APC primaries.

My question. how come Buhari did not win the previous election until he merge with ACN.

make we fear God ooo. I know Tinubu is a certified thief , but he brought Buhari to power.

mayoor15:
BTW, majority of kwarans don't see themselves as middlebelt or north central, so you can as well add kwara vote to south west

raumdeuter:
DIdnt Kano give Buhari that amount of vote in 2011, So why didnt Buhari become president

The main difference between 2011 and 2015 was SOuthwest votes

mikeweezy:

Really?
Did they join forces with the East, to produce Abiola (truncated) or OBJ, ... Twice?

The people who need to look in the mirror are the Yiibos who cant EVER rule Nigeria, unless they beg the South West to accommodate them.

No need to argue, just ask Google whether a "Yiibo" has ever been President of Nigeria since they messed-up in 1965.

Politics should not always be about "who you hate", you can use it for "self-advancement".... just like the South West.


Yiibos are just all about HATRED and ANGER!

Funnily enough, I did think of adding Kwara and Kogi's numbers to my tally, but since officialdom regards Kwara as 'North Central'...I thought it would be better if I left them out for now.

Ngokafor:



..bro its too late for that..damn too late.

vantage001:

That would only work if tinubu along with the entire south supoort another candidate apart from buhari.
But the fact is, even if tinubu did not support buhari, and the north along with the unprecedented level of northern support for buhari get the south-east or even the south-south, buhari would have emerged president with possibly a much bigger margin.
So in a way tinubu brough buhari to power because, he provided the only remaining jigsaw of the puzzle for buhari to win. It could as well be the SE or SS.

ProWalker:
Buhari contested how many times winning the whole of the core north heavily and still losing elections after elections until tinubu gave him the magic wand.
History cannot be re-written to suit the narratives of some old ethnic jingoists and tribal bigots

ProWalker:


I will ask you again? Are you suffering from dementia to insinuate what I didn't say?
You well at all?
Leveraging on Tinubu support won the election for him, without that support there was no way he would meet the constitutional requirements of 25% in 2/3 of states.
It is worrying how some of you are so ignorant

PaChukwudi44:
chaiiii Afonjas has really suffered.See as this man just whitewashed them and their local champion at bourdullion

9jakohai:
KANO'S votes were more than SW votes for PMB?

Really? I know North get population....but still.....

Let's check the record

KANO: Votes for APC: 1,903,999

SW votes for APC by state

Lagos: 792,460
Ogun: 308,000
Oyo: 528,260
Ondo:299,889
Osun:383,603
Ekiti:120,331

TOTAL:2,432,543


Source of figures: http://www.inecnigeria.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/summary-of-results.pdf


Senator Waku should go and check his figures again.

2,432,543 > 1,903,999!

bros is not too late just that[b] my brothers from the west has this betraying spirit and them live as if the north hold their life[/b].......if baba heppen to travel to greet his ancestor the north will fight osinbajo will all their might and fustrate his government just the way them did to Gej so is high time the west should get ready and start joining force with south south & south east

sanpipita:


Ranting with abusive words won't change fact Buhari had the numbers deal with it, If Tinubu was so good he should have performed magic with Atiku or Ribadu, they leveraged on his support too

vantage001:

Nothing is too late.
The first step is that tinubu would have to realize that southern politics is not south-western politics.
He is not going to have as much influence as he has in his backward. All these his APC commando style will not fly with the rest of the educated south.
If he agrees, then i think that would be the first major step to any southern political unification.

fergie001:

Was this news posted by a wailer?So someone does not post or say something u choose,he/she automatically becomes a wailer.You are becoming an enfant terrible here daily.
You are becoming worse,in the times past,you used to argue constructively and even if you had your own preferred party you did so with so much gusto(albeit with some distorted facts),but these days you now are like the Fayose you daily criticise,subscribing to beer-parlour gossips and comments,and all that.This is 2017,Sir.

Eluwilussit:


The North is very proud and dishonest. We all know that without Tinubu and the SW, Buhari wouldn't have won the election.

I am not yoruba and i detest Tinubu, but I will not watch the North mock a people that made this whole thing possible, through their well oiled political machineries(propaganda).

The North is very incorrigible. . As soon as this idiot won the election, the north changed their tone. It is no longer one Nigeria but the winner takes all things. I hope the rest of us have learnt a thing or two.

isnovic:


my thought exactly.

The effrontery is unnerving

A lot of Nigerians and other party leaders contributed a lot. Kano State alone contributed about 1.8 million to Buhari’s total score, and so did many states in the North. Kano’s votes is more than the votes of the entire South-West,” Waku said.

He forgot it must be majority votes in 2/3 of the country.

Some dorks should not be given press time.

omoharry:
These Northerners are the most ungrateful people i have ever seen in my life...where were they when Buhari has been contesting and losing since 1999...even with a larger vote from the north he still could not win the election..he was know for crying on T.V as a result of his frustration..now look at what all this ones are saying..i am not a fan of APC nor Tinubu But i must give it to Tinubu for repackaging Buhari from an unsalable product to a much preferred candidate .This is the height of ingratitude..Next time all these Southern APC e-warriors will realized who they call their political friend.Any partnership with the north is at your own risk..they would not listen..the north does not share power..but they are good at the Divide and rule game....Sai BABA sai BUHARI!!..I nor hear again ..where una dey sef?

ojobek:
Ur analysis is wrong,hausa/fulanis,some yorubas and some igbo will still vote for buhari had tinubu pit his tent with other party.bayelsa a case study.

ProWalker:


He had the numbers in 2004,2007 and 2011, winning heavily as usual in his traditional strongholds, why didn't translate to success.
The question you should asked yourself is what changed for him in 2015.
If you are not dishonest, you will give credit to whom it is due to.
