This is the Bayelsa state, Tinubu zombies are expecting Tinubu to get 25%

Trinitycian:


Tinubu might come 4th after Kwankwaso in this election

lhordspy:


Some times i am always tempted to ask if you guys know anything about politics atall. You guys analyse politics like when kids play with sand.

Do you know what is 25% atall? Bayelsa with less than 300,000 voters turn-out or maybe little less self. so you mean a certain APC will not get 25% of 300,000 which is like 75,000votes?


The same Bayelsa where APC candidate David lyon won the governorship election? If not because he was later sacked by supreme court just 5days to his inauguration, because of the fake certificate is deputy presented.

So you are telling me that SAME APC wont get 25% off the state. You are definitely high, because even the present PDP governor wont dare say something like this.

Kai....

MadeInTokyo:

Another confused, Janja-weed Tinubu zombie analysis.
Go back and fact check Bayelsa PDP members mobilized and voted for David Lion dues to Former Governor Dickson imposing current Governor Diri on the party.
APC leader in Bayelsa state , Minister Timpre Slyva agreed power sharing agreement with Top chieftains of Bayelsa PDP to support Daviod Lion of the APC against supporting the Diri.
No come here dey type nonsense u don't know about Bayelsa politics.
U want to bet Tinubu can not get 25% or 75,000 votes in Bayelsa.
If u are ready to bet 2 million, anfy of the Nairaland mod will act as escrow, money will be release when the Presidential results for Bayelsa state is announced.
All these political ignorant and arrogant Tinubu Zombie always thinking Tinubu is very popular outside southwest will cry blood when results are being announced on February 24th, mostly results from the North.
