Godfullsam:
If the north wants to unseat the president, another southern candidate must be allowed to complete the second tenure.

The north will not be allowed to replace Tinubu with a northerner. They are not the only owner of Nigeria.

Any plot to replace Tinubu with a northerner will distabilize the country. That is what Shehu Sani is talking about .
Even the north themselves are bad and corrupt leaders by default.

The northern agitation is not because they want a better Nigeria, it is simply because they want power.

We know them...

If they can't allow Nigerians to replace incompetent Tinubu with a more competent southern leader, we will rather let things remain the way they are instead of giving the incompetent northerners another chance.

The question here is not about the North replacing Tinubu with a Southerner. Will Tinubu accept to be replaced, that is the question. Since we know Tinubu will object to that and still be APC flag bearer, then the North will produce someone like Atiku and this time the North won't vote Tinubu. It was the North that made Tinubu president and that same North will take it away from Him. South will never go Tinubu way.

Absolutely nothing will happen the yorubas have been given the opportunity to rule nigeria twice through obj and tinibu so on what moral basis will they hold on now to cause any major crises in nigeria? If the niger delta that feeds nigeria with their oil couldn't cause any major crisis after their son was ganged up against and stopped from completing his tenure is it yorubas that have ruled nigeria for more than 15yrs by 2027 that will now cause crisis? They don't even have that kind of liver sef.

helinues:
This evening bloggers Sani should STFU.

He has been sounding as if he lose his senses since he was caught off from north politics

Why should the president loosing in an election cause trouble? What then is the meaning of democracy?

Sani should stop sounding slow all in the name of cheap attention seeking

When Jonathan lost nothing happened, so he should keep calm and let the North flex their muscle if they're actually serious!!

They cannot do pim.

If they try it, they will hear from the VP.

After, Baba T will activate ABIDO SHAKER.

This shehu sanni is funny,

when tinubu and the north planned and removed Jonathan Nigeria was not destabilized

But if they plan and remove tinubu Nigeria will be destabilized?

Please try another spin,

Nothing will happen

Ttalk:
I don't know how haters reason, is it Atiku or Obi who can't even organise their party that will organise Nigeria?

Ronu virus. Use Bitters Obi cleanser to get well.

NaijaCowFarm:
Okay ooo!
Tinubu is a goner anyway!
The North should not bother. We Southerners will remove him. He is a bad representation of what Southerners represent.

NB:
Since after the APC primary, the Yoruba-organized "Southern Governors" forum did not see a need to meet. Now that the North had decided Tinubu's fate, the Yoruba governors chose to resurrect the useless Southern governor's forum. Interestingly, the useless Igbo and South-South governors are joining them to further their selfish and tribal agenda. TRULY, IGBOS ARE NOT POLITICALLY SMART TO SEE THROUGH THE YORUBA AGENDA IN THE NAME OF "SOUTHERN GOVERNORS"

God bless your soul! You are a smart guy. Very few are around this corner.

If that will make the suffering of Nigerians reduce .
I don't see anything bad in that we are all surrounding.

WizardOfNG:


Look, I am not asking anyone to wait unrealistically. My point is that Tinubu should be given sensible period of time, say 2 years at least, before harsh judgement from all Nigerians.

I appreciate there are genuine Nigerians, likely yourself, who are not bothered about politics and just want the wellbeing of our average citizens.

Yet the reality is that Nigeria has been damaged beyond belief most especially by the leadership of GEJ and Buhari consecutively.

It is why I feel genuinely well-meaning Nigerians should not play into the hands of desperate political elements and born-to-rule hegemonists who want to exploit understandable frustration in the land for their own benefit when they have never had and will never have anything positive to offer Nigerians.

Rather than urge Nigerians to be patient, give the government's efforts and reforms more time to produce desired results and encourage them to hold all leaders accountable, from Governors to Ministers, in this trying times, some only want to exploit disaffection with the Tinubu Presidency to make a pitch for a Presidency they do not deserve and have never done well with when their sons lead Nigeria.

As Sanni observed, no Southern leader made noise against Buhari in the eight years he was in charge let alone be convening clandestine meetings up and down.

Is it then fair this same people want power in 2027 after 8 years of Buhari? Is it Atiku who was cordial with Buhari for the 8 years PMB was President, yet has been asking Tinubu to resign a few months into his job as President, that means well for Nigeria and Nigerians?

To me what is needed are obvious if Nigeria has discerning and politically sophisticated citizenry.

The nation is truly fcked top to bottom. Therefore time will be needed to steady the ship and then steer it forward.

Secondly, Governors, if they want, can make the plight of Nigerians much better as they have direct power to intervene with measures that improve food security, employment and general wellbeing of Nigerians.

For example it is commendable, even as some argue it may be an electoral stunt, that Governor Obaseki began paying 70k minimum wage in Edo of his own free will and volition.

When has any Governor, when it is in the power of many of them, done anything similar since 1999?

We must charge them to do far more, especially now allocation to them has increased following fuel subsidy removal, rather than sit on the neck of the President alone.

Below, Tinubu implores them to help aid food security because he knows they have the power to do so.


Thirdly, and finally, taking time to understanding the problem means we gain the clarity of mind to see what is truly happening and then be able to explain issues to those less educated and less informed than us.

It is a tragedy if in very troubled times a nation cannot rely on her most educated and knowledgeable folks to rise up to the task of sacrificing , over a sensible period of time like 2 years, and then imploring others to do same for the greater good.

Tinubu only facesthe sabotage, impatience and deliberate mischief-making he does today, even though many knows he inherited a terribly damaged Country, because of tribalism, sectional hatred and a completely disunited nation on all levels.

If anyone doubts this, then they should look at how the North convened lawyers to sue the Tinubu FG for billions over the accidental air bombing in the North months into Mr.President's tenure when no such happened in the 8 years of non-stop bloodletting that characterised the Buhari Presidency.

Other nations have faced worse but can pull together and sacrifice because they have homogeneity of ideas, targets, desires and purpose.

In the end, we will all reap what we sow if we allow ourselves to be exploited by opportunities who only seek powerl for their parochial agenda and not to use transformationally.

Yes. Tinubu is reaping what he sow. Rigging election to steal another's mandate has consequences. He will reap it for 4 years before he will be embarrassed out of office if he dares to seek reelection.

If that will make the suffering of Nigerians reduce .
I don't see anything bad in that we are all suffering.

WizardOfNG:


Making the Country "work for the common man" cannot happen in even 3 years and without fundamental reforms that will come with 'teething pain'.

Tinubu is not causing hunger as you, an educated man, erroneously believe. Many factors are. For example banditry that showed it's ugliest face last week when bandits demanded 20 million from farmers in a Benue community to harvest or face "serious attack".

Me and you both know bandits are heavily abetted by political and armed forces might in the North. The situation there is simply a macabre joke.

A minefield of traps, abetting of terror, treachery, betrayal and deliberate undermining and endangerment of the dedicated armed forces personnel trying to fight all manners of insurgencies in the North.

Yet you, an educated man, think such a situation can be resolved overnight?

I think the educated class, which I believe you belong to, are letting Nigeria down seriously.

Who will take the right and truthful message, per the reality of Nigeria, to the illiterates at Street level when even your sort feel government, anywhere in the world, is supposed to dash fish rather than teach citizens to fish?

So why is Tinubu contesting to be president of he can't deal with this issue? Are you impliedly say there's nothing Tinubu can do about it? We should all sit down and watch? Why was Jonathan kicked out of we should just accept insecurity because there's nothing the president can do? Na wa oh

Ezeama400:


SE and SS governors can't control the masses during presidential election, it's only in SW that their governors press their people like remote control..
Those SS and SE governors that participated in southern governors meeting did it for a political exercise, it has no impact on the masses.. Attending meeting is one thing, executing the purpose of the meeting is another thing

You people are just wasting always 'invoking the non-existing so called power of the masses . Since when have masses wielded so much power on political arrangements and ascendancy? Then which 'messes ' are you talking about? From the SS, SE, NW , SW, NC or NE? And you think the other side don't have their own 'masses ' too ?

Lol, this people want to see OBJ 2.0………..All of them put together can’t remove Tinubu. He’ll so decimate them like never before. Many of them will end up in prison, exile and EFCC’s bunker. You see in Nigeria, it’s easy for Politicians to be tamed because they all have dirts in their cupboard. Once Kaduna State govt intensifies effort to actually embarrass El-Rufai with court cases and possible jail term, he’ll calm down. As for Atiku, he’s a dead politically already, no need to worry about him. As for Buhari, he doesn’t really seem to be alive in anyway.

He contested because he has clear plans and reforms he know can set Nigeria on the right course provided all Nigerians sacrifice for a short period for a much brighter futures with developmental gains that will be incremental.and sustainable going forward.

Even majority of expert economists, In Africa and beyond, agree Mr.President is attempting to reform Nigeria the only way possible given severe challenges he met on ground he must overcome to then move on to getting Nigeria where she needs to go once the current government has steadied the drifting ship.

Opposition in Nigeria ( be it Obi, Atiku, Kwankwaso, Sowore etal) are particularly brutal, selfish and deliberate saboteurs only interested in using whatever possible to discredit the current government in the belief that doing so betters their chances of taking over.

Listen to objective non-Nigerian observers from Africa and beyond to note Tinubu, with many brilliant and proven achievers working under him, is doing precisely what has to be done to stop the rot he met on ground and then move to secure the growth and development of Nigeria.

It is not unreasonable to expect most Nigerians who can read and write to familiarise themselves with the problem and then give the government sensible time to turn things around.

Do you know for example, even as OBI and Atiku will never mention it, that Nigeria is only now coming to the end of the 'promisory' supply of our crude the Buhari Government exchanged for raw cash at it's outgoing hour?

That reality means a large portion of our crude had to be supplied to those who had already paid the PMB government for it.

The crude owed will still have to be supplied by the Tinubu Government, per the unavoidable contractual trap the Bubari government set for the Tinubu Government, yet this same Tinubu Government does not get a kobo in return.

Like you having to pay 20 million Naira, in one year, your brother borrowed from your own salary yet everyone still expect you to carry them financially.

This is only one of many examples of how knowing the problems Nigeria faces, and then understanding the solutions to them, means we appreciate time is needed but surely the future will be better.

No one, certainly never the likes of Atiku and Obi, will tell you about this and many other man-made problem the current government is facing because virtually all Nigerians are working their own angle with the view of profiting from making the Tinubu government look bad and then insisting on its removal after 13 months.

It is left to Nigerian to familiarise themselves with the problems and then support a Government, for the first time since 1999, determined to do the right thing to get Nigeria heading towards developed status instead of perpetuating the mess we have always being where Nigerians, even if they don't know it, are merely surviving but not living.

Will Tinubu also experience these 'teething pain' or the pain is meant only for the citizens?

If Tinubu is not responsible for hunger, who is responsible for the inflation?

What does inflation do to incomes?

If you say "bandits demanded 20 million from farmers in a Benue community to harvest or face "serious attack", what has Tinubu done about it? Does stopping bandits not fall into his job description?

If you say "Yet you, an educated man, think such a situation can be resolved overnight", what exactly were Tinubu/APC/buhari complaining about when Jonathan was president?

Or are they not educated?

Who are the educated class and how have they let the country?

Which class does Tinubu fall into?

What is the right and truthful message, per the reality of Nigeria that should be taken to the illiterates at Street level?

Amumaigwe:


Yes. Tinubu is reaping what he sow. Rigging election to steal another's mandate has consequences. He will reap it for 4 years before he will be embarrassed out of office if he dares to seek reelection.

That's your opinion because you can never contemplate, for reasons known to you alone, the very obvious alternative which is that things begin to fall in place , i.e reforms coming to fruition and defeat of many debts/traps set by the previous government, to the extent Tinubu turns thing around so well that Nigerians get behind him and overwhelmingly back him to continue behind 2027.

The Nigerians that are supposed to sacrifice, what are they supposed to sacrifice?

Is Tinubu among those that are supposed to sacrifice?

What is Tinubu supposed to sacrifice?

What are the challenges Tinubu met on ground?

Nobody likes suffering unnecessarily.

And you think the northerners love us (SS/SE)? Have you forgotten so soon the nepotistic and bad administration of Buhari? Please, instead of another northern Muslim who are largely tribalistic and religious bigots to rule, it's better Tinubu remain on the presidential seat.

By the way, what stops Shehue Sani from mobilizing votes for Asiwaju like El Rufai did last year?

Mumurity taking a shadow jab at Asiwaju and Ronus!

There is no need to worry if the President is United about Nigeria , but as it is every region is feeling the pain ...Imaging getting two hours light only and it is not guarantee sef in a day , I mean if Big company that can access credit are leaving what will small business holders do ... If people have to spend on Power ,it is going to eat on their profit and that would reduce their abilities one way or the other ... The President needs to stop spending on frivolities and focus his energy in creating the enabling environment for Power firms to thrive with no government intervention. If your country men are not productive, the whole reason for being in Government is defeated. With climate change you can't even depend on the rain anymore assuming everyone would be a farmer , so power is still needed for irrigation , let alone preservation and processing .

You’re very right. Things have gone from bad to worst in just one year. I’m yet to see any hard working Nigerians in support of this useless government.

And one idiot is telling me to give him more time? I should wait and allow his anti people’s policies kill me? Anofia

The same north unseated Jonathan and it did not destabilize Nigeria. If tinubu failed to perform, there's no crime unseating him as well.



I'm proudly a Yoruba, but I don't allign with this your tribalistic line of thought. I'm more concerned about good governance. If tinubu failed to provide one, there's no crime unseating him. I don't see this destabilizing Nigeria in any way. That's it.



It doesn't sound logical to compare both administrations at this stage. Tinubu has just wrapped up a year in office but Buhari did 8 years. I also think it is too early to tag Tinubu a failure. But if this economic hardships persist, or get worsen in this current tenure of 4 years, then Tinubu could be tagged a failure and that would be a good reason to unseat him in 2027. The reelection of Buhari in 2019 was one of the biggest calamities to have ever befallen this country. Such a mistake should not be allowed again.

That happened because of southern low turnout and yoruba states backing Buhari, with exception of Oyo and Osun (which was close).

flokii:
PBAT and his team need to do more if he wants a second term in office.. the issue of insecurity, banditry and whatnot should be tackled on time so farmers can return to their farms.
Instead of subsidizing Hajj for pilgrims, they should enter PPP with farmers to set up large farms and agro-processing zones across the country to tackle the problem of high prices of foodstuffs in the market.

The Power Ministry should ensure removal of manufacturing industries and other key industries from band A to other bands so they can survive.. high cost of power will only make more industries to shut down, leading to loss of jobs and economic collapse.

PBAT should not go to sleep yet, the reason Atiku is courting Obi now is for him to sway votes of South East to his side in 2027 which if you check history well, is very possible.. Igbos have no problem voting Northerners over their fellow Southerners as far as they get VP or SP post. The Rivers State tussle too can be tied to 2027, some States in South West too might give PDP considerable amount of votes to get national spread.

Una don dey wise small small. Stop the allegation against Igbos tho because your bad did the same in 2015. Let's make this Country work.

all these inordinate politicians should stop playing GOD.HOW DID THEY KNOW THEY WILL SEE TOMORROW LET ALONE YEAR2027?
