They have done well.

Thank God their administration is coming to an end

Kasssandra:


Yeah, because,as I said elsewhere...you need the middle belt to win. Not the North.

But even then, you still need 25% in the North at least. Obasanjo got a minority of votes in the North (and won a state like Kaduna outright..though by a thin margin)...just to make sure of victory in 2003.

North may be more important this time, because Southern votes may be split between tinubu and obi and atiku three way.

Why do you think Tinubu, Obi and Atiku will split SS and SE votes after everything that had happened in this country. The SE and SS are on total lockdown for Obi. The only way Atiku might get something from the south Is if Wike finally aligns with him. But you see APC, the SS and SE are no go areas for them.

Tinubu will obviously get tangible votes from the SW, Borno and Yobe. Kwara, Kogi and few other states.

All things been equal, the election is between Atiku and Obi

Kasssandra:


True , I am expecting an Atiku win...or at worst a Atiku tinubu runoff vote.

Obi is a movement...among internet savvy nigerians and nigerians who live in the cities. And maybe the south east. You cannot win an election on such limited support.

Obi supporters can still win, if they leave their computers and spend time in most of the villages in the Northern part of the country, as well as the slums and low income areas of cities like Kano, Sokoto, Kaduna, Gombe and Maid...mobilizing support , and staying there till election day.

You don't actually need the north to win elections. Buhari always got all the votes from the core northern states but still lost previous elections.

David160:



I will vote for obi next year.

But at this point Atiku looks like the incoming president.

APC has lost kano.. All thanks to Kwankwaso

APC will be badly hurt in Kaduna, Bauchi due to the huge Christian population.

APC will lose Sokoto and they'll barely win kastina.

Atiku will give them tough time in NE given that it's his region.


APC needs their bloc vote in the north untouched.. Atiku will win the SS and he'll still get massive vote in the SE.

Tinubu is not even sure of Lagos bloc vote.. PDP managed to win ondo and oyo in the last election.

This time they have oyo, ondo and Osun up for grab... The reality is that the backlash to MM is more than the backlash to 8 more years of northern rule.

All signs point to an Atiku victory

On what basis will atiku win SS and get block votes in SE? I swear, this is comical

Moh247:
Apc Governors, Presidential Campaign Council and APC Candidate had crucial meeting that same day at the Campaign HQ

Always having excuses for this useless party.

You just can't support Tinubu without sounding somehow

When will this man grant us an interview?

This was how Buhari started when he was always avoiding public discussions.

Tinubu is Buhari pro max in waiting

Lmao.

Drip on drip. 20 million US billion dollars. Pendi!!

This people are trying so hard. It's just too funny

This is like eating your vomit.

God forbid!

Hail APC!! Anything they lay hands on turns to trash

If she was actually diagnosed for HIV, there's no way it can be cleared. Except her viral load is low, and that can only be known if she does a viral load

We all know who he's referring to

The Hurricane is coming.

The jogarnut is coming.

Peter Obi is coming

mascot87:
Let us get BATified and move this country forward. No time.
Nigeria is just a stone throw away from been a first world country under the presidency of BAT

You speak well, I must commned you for that.

However, what good do you think can come out of APC at the moment? I believe you're a Nigerian living in Nigeria and should know the true state of our economy and security.

What difference do you think Tinubu will make compared to Buhari that he gave us?

This is a man with alot of dark cloud (controversies) following him, from his name, age.. and what have you.

This is a man who says it's his turn to rule Nigeria. What entitlement does he have? Is ASO rock offering Hospice services?

A man they said that didn't just bribe delegates but bribed fellow aspirants during the convention. After giving out such money, what do you expect he'll do when he becomes president?

We have seen how Buhari turned to kwaku the traveler. Tinubu will definitely do thesame thing or even worse. Tinubu isn't physically fit to rule a diverse and problematic country like Nigeria. He needs to rest, he's not healthy. Age is not on his side. I'm not saying this to talk down on him, afterall we will all grow old and suffer from one degenerative illness or the other.

So why is Tinubu desperate? Why should we vote him? His glory days are long gone.

OP, next time put viewers discretion.

We don't have ambulance here to carry APC and PDP supporters should incase they develop cardiac arrest out of bitterness and hatred

The incoming GCFR.

They said Obi is not a threat, he has no structure, but Tinubu's camp are always convulsing at the mention of Obi.

There's Atiku, Kwankwaso, Sowore and others, but Obi is living in their heads rent free

PHOTOSPEAK

Buhari, Tambuwal, Tinubu, Dangote, Others Storm Shettima’s Daughter Wedding

Political differences took back stage in Maiduguri, Borno state, on Saturday as Sen. Kashim Shettima, vice presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) gave away his daughter, Fatima to the son of the former FCT Minister, Ibrahim Bunu.

Superintended by the Shehu of Borno, Alhaji Abubakar Ibn Umar Garbai Elkanemi, the wedding was attended by President Muhammadu Buhari, who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, his Yobe, Ekiti and Jigawa counterparts.

Also at the wedding were: Senate President, Sen. Ahmed Lawan, the National Security Adviser, Maj. Gen. Babagana Monguno (rtd ), National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC ), Sen. Abdullah Adamu and APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Business moguls, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Alhaji Mohammad Indimi and Alhaji Tahir Manga, were not left out, just as the Inspector General of Police, IGP Alkali Baba Usman and others witnessed the solemnization of the marriage in which former Governor of Bauchi State, Alhaji Adamu Muazu and
Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum stood in for the groom’s father and bride respectively.

The political class. It's always within them.

Congrats!

I didn't read your crap filled bs

Ibos can't discuss Politics because they don't have the mindset for it

You dropped this sir

How far with the famous tucano jets we received sometime ago?

Buhari is never aware of anything. This is why I say that Nigeria is just Turning on its own. We don't have a president, the country is run by canals

In saner climes, Buhari should have been impeached since his first tenure.

Our rubber stamp legislative can only threaten him with impeachment.

The state of the country is abysmal

Hurricane ObiDatti is coming.

sammytee02:


I don't hate Obi bro. I was just stating what was obvious.

I didn't say Tinubu is the most talked about candidate. I only said they are attacking him more than the other two, which it true. Simply because he supported the current President and was one of the those that made him won the two elections. Nothing more. The President paid back by not fulfilling his promises and made the effort of those that fought for him fruitless.
Hence, the reason for the attack and insult.

Yes, the major problems are security and economy. But your points on how PO worked on those two were not really solid. Fine, he left 75 billion naira while leaving office, part of it was spent on airport. And how has that airport improved Anambra economy over the years? I found it hard to depict that. Also, you made mention of him suppressing MASSOB during his tenure not until recently Anambra has become something else. Bro, if truly, PO worked well on that - I mean laid down a strong security system, it would be so hard for those guys to penetrate Anambra. Just take Lagos as an example, Tinubu worked on this two problems - security and economy and still manifesting till now. He created the RRS, the best police unit in the country today, he made Lagos the econmic hub of West Africa which has transformed to the whole of Africa.

Furthermore, you talked about PO improving the education system of Anambra, quite commendable. But Tinubu did that during his tenure as well.

Lastly, you spoke about age, old age doesn't stop someone from performing excellently. Everyone has the right to contest for any election - take Biden, Trump, Hillary as examples, so far he/she meets up with the requirements. Of which he does.
May the best man wins Bro. We didn't even talk about the Waziri of Adamawa, Lol.
Nigeria will be great again.

Bro, even in Abuja that should be the most secured part of this country is attacked by terrorists. The national guards were attacked some kidnapped and some killed. Putting the crimes in Lagos and Anambra into perspective without bringing up the issue of IPOB, Lagos is one of the unsafe place to live in Nigeria. The crime rate is very high. Now let's bring IPOB into the equation. The rise of what we know today as IPOB didn't start today, it has been progressive over the years. The current federal government didn't handle the situation well at all. The president has made several utterances that didn't help the situation. From 5% to dot and all of that.. if this was handle well by the government, we won't be where we are today. Mind you, I'm not in support of IPOB.

Remember, this Airport in Anambra was recently built. And there's no way you'll say an airport wouldn't help improve the economy of a state. Haba. Imagine Lagos without an airport or Abuja without an airport. Yes, Tinubu might have contributed in the education sector of Lagos. But it was nothing comparable to what Obi did in Anambra

Talking about age. Will you compare the way Biden, Trump ruled to the way the likes of Obama, Clinton, George Bush... ruled?? There's a certain extend where physicality and health status comes in. Nigeria is not France, Ghana, Togo, or any other country. We are the most divers country in the world. The diversity comes with several issues, we are very volatile. Yes, the president must be smart and also physically and mentally okay. Nigeria no be beans. Take Buhari for example. From all indications, Buhari isnt running this country. This country is being run by canals. Tinubu is just another Buhari In the waiting.

As for Atiku, we'll talk about the Waziri later. Lol

ogbonti:



The bolded parts - Now I see why the British introduced the property suffrage in the early 1900's - as a political analyst, I used to criticize that policy of the British but today, I am beginning to see reasons somehow - most Nigerians lack emotional intelligence - they do not deserve to vote because they do not have the capacity to make rational decisions due to ignorance, ethno-religious sentiments and poverty

How else can one explain the rationale behind openly corrupt politicians winning elections based on issues other than ethics and capacity to deliver good governance? In Nigeria - a potential great leader can lose elections because he is too tall or too short, or because he is not a good dancer or he is from a certain tribe or his wife is ugly or his clothes are not trendy - can you imagine the nonsense?

That was why the British disenfranchised Lagosians who did not earn up to 100 pounds a year because they can not bear seeing these unintelligent Nigerians elect hooligans into the Legislative Council - Is that not what is happening today? where Thugs and Miscreants have turned our National Assembly into an asylum for megalomaniacs ?

You couldn't say it any better.

Let's take the north for example. The political elites their vow to see the average northerner languish in illiteracy and poverty which they take full advantage of. Imagine someone saying 90% of northerners are not on social media. Is that a thing to be proud of? Even my old dad and mom at home are on whatsapp. But yet, these set of people will wish to continue languishing in penury.

There's no better way to Say this. You have said it all

sammytee02:


You make me smile brother. How is Peter Obi better than the two? Lol...We both know people are attacking Tinubu more than the other two. As far as I am concerned, we've seen what Tinubu did and had manifested till today even if it's only just one thing - RRS (Rapid Response Squad), no doubt many people attest that it's the best police unit in Nigeria today.

Here is the thing, I really want to be convinced that PO is better and I've been asking and yet none has replied me with evidence - what are his track records even if it's just one that had stand till today and had a good effect - it may be in terms of security, economy, etc on the people of Anambra that many people are talking about? All we hear is PO has a good plan for Nigeria and talk and talk.

Haba brother. For you to tell me you don't know of even a single Obis achievement as Governor of Anambra shows that you just don't like him.

First of all, you said Tinubu is the most talked about presidential candidate, I beg to differ. The only reason Tinubu is currently being talked about is because of the controversies following him, starting from the Muslim/Muslim ticket, certificates and what have you. It was only when these issues were talked about that you hear Tinubu. Prior to these sagas, Tinubu just like Buhari were on the basement membrane. This isn't the issue sef!

The major problem we have in this country is security and economy. No governor in the history of our dear nation has left money when they left office talk more of leaving 75 billion naira. Obi did it. It was from this money Obiano said he built anambra airport with. When economy improves, security is bound to improve. Insecurity today is mostly because of the increased poverty level we have in this country.

Anambra was around twenty something position in education before Obi came in. When he came in, he metamorphosis the whole education system in the state. Anambra doesn't get less than 2nd position as it is now. One thing the north suffers the most is Insecurity because of mainly illiteracy. Expose a man to education and see if you haven't deradicalized him.

During Obis tenure as governor, you can't walk with your full chest In the streets of Onitcha without fear of getting kidnapped. MASSOB were also trying to destabilize the state then. But Obi took care of the whole incidence. It's recently that Anambra is trying to become something else.

This is just a few of the numerous achievements Obi had.

Tinubu must have done one or two good things, but his time is passed. He's old and senile sorry to say. Videos and pictures don't lie. He's another Buhari in waiting. We are more than 200 million Nigerians. Tinubu can't be the best out of us. It will be a shame if such a man became president. Let's learn from the antecedents of Buhari.

lereinter:


Before buhari became president he was never seen or reported to make foreign trips

People didn't know he was dying to make foreign trips he could make it with his personal income

Atiku isn't a novice or jjc, where has he not travelled to that when he now becomes president he will now start ajalaing round the world

I don't think so

Lol. But this one he's already not spending time in Nigeria when he's not even president. Imagine what will happen when he becomes president. Just few weeks ago, he and Tinubu traveled to Dubai and France respectively and spent almost 3 weeks. Nobody knows why till this very moment and nobody wants to ask questions

lereinter:


Lolzzzzz

Comparing Wycliffe to Atiku

Why not?

I'm sure you complained about Buharis frequent travel. How will you be comfortable having a president presiding from Dubai?

blueAgent:



Lol.....I Don laugh tire.

Bedroom ?

Lol... anywhere that will be very comfortable for him. We need to make baba comfortable to avoid stories

@lereinter. Please come have a look

ogbonti:



you are very correct - the Nigerian passport is almost worthless - electing either Atiku or Tinubu will destroy whatever is left of it - If some Nigerians supporting these two men are not sincerely crazy, why would anyone in his right senses vote for a man who does not live in the very country he is trying to rule over ?

That was why Haitians didn’t vote for Wyclef Jean because although he has helped his people with so much philanthropy and otherwise - the people told him “Thanks Sir BUT No Thanks - you can’t be living in USA and expect to come here and rule over us” - If Haitians, black people like us could make that decision easily - I wonder why Nigerians are even thinking about Atiku being president. It is the most unpatriotic act to abandon your country, not because of seeking employment to survive but just to seek comfort for yourself and return only to contest elections - what else is a testament of lack of patriotism?

So if Atiku wins and decides to rule Nigeria from his country home in Dubai, how can anyone blame him? after all that’s where he lives and you elected him ? THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU JUST READ!

lereinter:



What's wrong in contesting for a position which is only vacant every 4 years


After you listened to Atiku interview, you weren't impressed?

There's nothing bad in obi having an ambition

I didn't have any particular issue with his interview except where he accused Sowore of coming back every 4 years to contest election. That's typically what Atiku does.

Let me copy a post by a fellow nairalander and show you..

I just mentioned in a post

I really hope people read what you wrote. But they'll not still hear.

I just watched the video of the released abducted train travelers. At some point the man was crying when he was interviewed. I felt really bad. I hope those that want APC to continue in the person of Tinubu also watched that video? And if those released victims are in their right senses, they'll try everything to see this current government and party loses power because they have failed magnificently

zionstaar75:
at least you're objective,I like u.i don't believe your defense though,keeping your concentration is key in leadership. He didn't show that tonight. After what buhari did in 2015 honestly I'm not ready to support anyone blindly,I need convincing o,that's where I stand now

Putting the 3 major candidates to choose from, I believe Obi is alot better than the 2. He's not a Saint, he has his short comings.. but he's way better than Tinubu and Atiku. There'd a reason why they keep attacking and trying to dig out lies and propaganda about him. They know he's a force to reckon with at the moment.
