To be fair,tinubu started it with his “Emi lokan”,”Yoruba lokan “ statement
So tinubu should stop crying cos he started it

He started it, but thinks he has the right to criticize Atiku for the same thing he did
Big hypocrite!

Spandau:


No, you're wrong. It simply means,it's my turn based on some unseen agreement with the North. If he loses, the bottom line is that someone from the South must become president.

If it must com to the south den den its ibos turn or let it stay in de north for all eternity. See were ur bitter politics don land una? Harassing ibos in lagos, opressing dem and making all kinds of derogatory comments about dem..forgetting dat ibos no b una problem. U totally left Atiku. Now wey atiku don start use thesame tribalism wey una start, una de cry..una go wail tire

Tinubu’s statement about Atiku and PDP is an indication that he has moved on from the irrelevant LOSERS party (LP). The real presidential election campaign has just started.


Bye bye to the noisy FlatHeadsss!

How can you steal what belongs to you?? Mad man

Osinbajo should be ashamed of hmself . I know for sure, that Tinubu gave him the position of VP. Which he knew that Tinubu will be the flag bearer for APC that was the deal. Never outshine your master

See dis mumu. Tinubu should turn himself to president na..master kee u dia..una never stil realise say tinubu is a bad market..Tinubu represents all dat is wrong wit Nigeria

TolaniLuv:
The only tribe I pity in Nigeria are the Igbo’s. They don’t seems to think logically. I mean seriously, you will rather have Atiku be president than Tinubu? How many business do y’all have in Adamawa?

How many youth from north supported end sars? How many northerners south Nnamdi Kanu? It’s only the Yoruba . But, they still want Atiku! Oya continue. I urge every Yoruba on Nairaland to Vote for Tinubu. Let’s the Igbo’s Vote for Obi. We don’t care. Hausa will still support Yoruba no matter what mumu people! We deh tell una now , na only Yoruba Allow you guys to flourish in our land go to North and develop it for them nah

See dis mumu..make everyone vote for dia candidates na.lets see if tinubu will get close 15% in d General election. Na tribalism go kee una. Ibos don't even have a large stake in Lagos compared to d Hausa. But ur mumu tribalism no make u see dat one..aboki don take over Lagos ports, custums and army.yet na Igbo be ur problem. Shebi una like tribalism abi. I'm glad now dat Atiku has entered full gear on tribalism. Lets see how ur awa lokan will win.mumu urchins

MikoB:
It's so disgusting and disappointing that Atiku stole the ticket from the southern candidates,I can't imagine another fulani after Buhari on the throne consequtively , Nigeria is so doomed to have to chosee between Atiku or Tinubu, who has nigeria offended? Anyway this will be most relaxed election for me because I don't have any candidate.

A southerner was the last PDP president and out of 16yrs of PDP in power southerners ruled for 14 years. Now tell us how Atiku stole the southern mandate.

THIFNUBU REMAINS A THIEF.

Lols. He is shouting South now because Atiku don unify d north finish. There's no votes for him in d north.ss se are no go areas. Sw will be shared. The joke is on u urchins

Okjay:
It is just that the northerners think like cows. Atiku telling them that they need a northerner not a Yoruba or Igbo was completely insensitive. The one who is finishing 8 years now who perfectly crumbled Nigeria in every facet and specially in insecurity in the north is from which part of Nigeria? Arrant rubbish. These northerners need to be taught a lesson. How can Bubu from the north finish wrecking Nigeria the way he did and Atiku fromm the north come to take another 8years. Nigeria belongs to all of us.Let's see how only votes from the north will make him president. My people of the south you have heard it. Please vote wisely.

If u betray ur brother to a stranger, the stranger will never trust u and sees u as a betrayal. No b all pf us de here wen selfish southern politicians betrayed gej? So y'all think dat after betraying ur brother for a fulani the fulani will see u as his own? Tueh. The north can comfortably make Atiku president and there's nothing emilokan urchins can do about it..if the president is not going to d east den it should remain in d north.. we will not reward betrayal

DadaHammed:
The phrase 'awa lokan'...yoruba lokan' is full of tribalism.

Lies ,you cannot interpret Yoruba in your own way,Go and listen to the full video.He has worked for several years with politicans from the north ,since 1992.Give his platform to Atiku,ribadu ,so awa lokan ,after all the sacrifices.Tell us the sacrifices made by obi?tinubu was a senator in 1992 ,He was meant to be the senate President but withdrew because of abiola contesting as the president.

How are you different from atiku, Mr emilokan?

If you wanted to restructure Nigeria you will support people that have been clamouring for it since the 90,s .You are the problem,you created the unitary system that is being practiced today and have always worked to keep centralization of government,even obi will centralize the government.i don't know why you Igbos prefer centralization to devolution of powers,and you are always quick to pretend and point fingers

Urheadmaster:



The phrase "EMI Lokan" has nothing to do with being tribalistic


It simply imply it is his turn

Before Emi lokan, hé said Yoruba lokan and it has everything to do with tribalism.

Unless you didn't watch the video. He was clear about Yoruba lokan ie it's the turn of Yorubas.

South is were the money to govern will come from ,south contributes 80pecent of the money .so stop joking..Atiku is a rogue

tammie24:
you are not well

When did EMI lokan become awa lokan?

Please stop skipping your drugs

Either you didn't watch the video or you want to lie. He started with 'Awa lokan' to Yoruba lokan before saying Emi lokan. He used the 3 phrases so has no right to accuse Atiku of tribalism.

uckay304:

What do you mean?

He is guilty of the same offence.

Both of you are thieves. You stole South East mandate.

And fortunately more than 180 million sane Nigerians have rejected you and APC come 2023. Go and take care of your dementia old age. God will punish anybody canvassing for all these old cargos to rule Nigeria. May your generation never assume any leadership post in their youthful age and never be leaders of tomorrow. Amen.

The bat... I agree with you on this statement. Tiku mis yarn

Yen yen yen Rubbish !
Vote wisely. Don't vote for ethnicity. Vote for competent person who will deliver Nigeria

yomi961:
Atiku Abubakar is by far the most popular and the most prepared presidential candidate in this election. Beyond the fact that he was Nigeria's first democratically elected vice president under this democratic dispensation, he is the only candidate with that level of experience among all those contesting to replace Buhari and his catastrophic government that has reduced our economy to its worst state since we gained independence in 1960 and left our currency struggling for relevance with the Zimbabwean dollar.

There are certain challenges only a salary earner or one who was previously a salary earner can understand. Unlike Obi, Atiku was not born with the proverbial silver spoon. He was a salary earner at the Nigerian customs service for about 20 years and as a result, he understands the pains of salary earners when inflation strikes. This explains why he goes to great lengths to ensure that salaries that are paid at his firms can take care of families and alerts for workers salaries hits their account early enough to keep them motivated and help them take care of thier needs.

As a former civil servant himself, Atiku understands how the civil service works and the need to make government services more efficient. Nigeria today has one of the biggest civil service in the world, with over 720,000 salary earners on the federal government payroll alone. The civil service swallows more that half of the our national budget every year even though they make up less than one percent of our entire population.

With Nigerians yearning for a reform of the civil service, there is the need to elect a candidate with first hand understanding of the problems and issues that has transformed the Nigerian civil service from the engine room that drives development to a clog in the wheel of progress.

Tinubu and Obi do not have any civil service experience, they dont understand how it operates, talkless of how to reform it. In contrast Atiku Abubakar with over 20 years experience in the glory days of the civil service understands the pains of civil servants and his multi dimentional digital approach to restructuring the civil service is what our country needs to trigger the process that will transform our dysfunctional civil service to the "vaibranium" that drives development and deliver real benefits to our people.

Tinubu and Obi were two term governors of their respective states, however, you cannot compare that with the experience that comes with being the Vice President of a country of over 200 million people.

As chairman of the National Economic Council from 1999 to 2007, Atiku Abubakar was an epitome of who a Vice President should be. His passion for a better and prosperous Nigeria is evident in the caliber of technocrats and specialists he personally convinced to return to the country and join hands with the government to develop our country.

As head of the Economic Management Team, Atiku and his team which included the current Director-General of the World Trade Organization Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, successfully renegotiated and paid off Nigeria’s entire debt with the Paris Club before the current disaster's in government plunged our unborn children into the biggest debt trap in the history of our country with about ₦50 trillion in debts hanging over our necks.

Under Tinubu's lackeys in Lagos, the story is not different, because despite the huge internally generated revenue it rakes in every month, Lagos sits at the top of the list of highly indebted states in Nigeria with nothing to show for it.

When it comes to the private sector experience, Abubakar towers above Tinubu and the upcoming Obi by miles. Atiku co-founded INTELS, one of the biggest oil and gas/ports logistics firms in Africa. His other business are huge job creators that employs more people than many state governments in Nigeria.

Tinubu on the other hand has no real businesses beyond negotiating a slice from your tax and prompting his rubber stamp state assemblies to legalize his tax collection illegalities.

Obi as a business man is mostly interested in importing from foreign countries and taking away jobs. Some of his rookie economic policies will shut down half of our manufacturing capacity in less than 100 days if they are ever implemented because it does not factor in critical aspects of local production.

Perhaps one of the major reason most Nigerians are queuing behind the Atiku presidential bid is his sterling records as Head of the National Council on Privatization, which oversaw the sale of hundreds of loss-making and poorly managed public enterprises into highly successful and profit making ventures.

This action led to the influx of new and badly needed investments in vital sectors of our economy triggering massive growth in our GDP and the highest creation of new jobs ever witnessed in our country.

In addition, his efforts at transforming the telecomunications landscape completely changed how we do things today. Before the Obasanjo-Atiku era mobile phones were a luxury because the 350,000 available telephone lines provided by the then inefficient NITEL was grossly inadequate to cater for our massively growing population.

As Vice President and head of the economic team in Nigeria, Atiku inaugurated a 22-member Telecommunications Sector reform implementation committee, charged with the responsibility of facilitating greater access to phone services for Nigerians. His team went on to facilitate and supervise the licensing rounds for GSM licence in Nigeria conducted by the NCC under the leadership of Engr Ernest Ndukwe whose appointment as the Executive Vice Chairman (EVC) of the NCC was facilitated by Atiku.

Thanks to the patriotism and dedication of Atiku and his team, the mobile connection you are most likely using to read this article and the over 188 million registered mobile lines in our country are helping to improve the ease of doing business, create jobs and open the global space for young Nigerians to unleash their talents and support the development of our country.

In 2019, we lost an opportunity to take back our country because some criminals manufactured non-existent votes and brought in a 'black market Justices" to legalize an illegality in plain sight.

In 2023, armed with the new Electoral Act and increased awareness of what the enemies of our nation can do, let us rise as one irrespective of tribe, religion or political leaning and support the most experienced candidate to help take back and restructure our nation for the benefit of our people and generations unborn.

What does 'awa' mean?
After Awa he specifically directed it to Yoruba. You would have seen it if you watched the video and he was speaking to Yoruba people.
And office of presidency is not a souvenir if he feels he has sacrificed anything for any body let them give him an award or something.

There are almost as much Igbos in the Adamawa, Kano, Kaduna etc as in Ogun, Osun, Oyo, Ekiti etc Lagos is different for obvious reasons.
Igbos have supported Obasanjo in 1999 and 2003 & Jonathan from Ijaw in the South south in 2011 & 2015 even though their southern brothers (Yorubas) chose a Northerner then. In the spirit of Southern oneness let Yorubas pay back the support to Igbos now. Is that not what Afenifere is telling you to do?
Igbos can't be the ones supporting you all the time.

DadaHammed:
The phrase 'awa lokan'...yoruba lokan' is full of tribalism.

You are an idiot and those that applauded your message are idiotic tribal jingoist. Tinubu reference of Yoruba lo Kan and EMI lo Kan was made with reference to APC. Within APC, it is turn of the south, Yorubas (BAT and his boys) were the major people that worked for APC in the south and also BAT had a gentleman agreement with Buhari that he would take over from him. He finished the statement by saying emi lokan, not Osinbajo(who's a better candidate) or anybody else. He made the statement in Ogun state (Osinbajo's state), he's simply telling them this is Yoruba's turn, and not just Yoruba but his turn hence, they shouldn't vote for Star boy. But ethnicity jingoism and hatred has made permanent residents in your brains that you can't reason critically.

Igbos(Obi) should have stood their ground within PDP because it's their turn, they worked for the party since 1999.

That being said if you and ilks are not fools, you would know that Tinubu was stating a fact with reference to APC agreement not a tribal sentiments. Equating emi lokan to Atiku's ethnic chauvinism shows you are all stupid.

My respect for atiku is gone forever
