This one no sabi anything. A Muslim-Muslim ticket can win a presidential election in Nigeria but it’s impossible for a Christian Christian to ever try such not to talk of winning.

Oga you don't know anything, a christian christian ticket can win too

Svoboda:
This piece of news will set off a long chain of wailing from the same people who claim total disdain for the political party involved.

you are a fool for this

Afamed:
These are the structures we are talking about not the 1room apartment of labor party in Gombe and Sokoto
We are talking about men that can move votes not the one that won Govship/ Pandora fraud that won élection in Anambra with less than 98,000 votes

without the people at grassroots, they are nobody. A quick one everyman has one vote.

trutharena:
The previous CAN leadership are shameless.

Thank you bishop Kayode Williams, Obituary people and their lying CAN won’t be able to lie now that he is a fake bishop.

see there nothing good in him, any christian that supports APC in this time in our country is not a christian even tinubu wife know this.. that man saying what tinubu money want him to say. Osibanjo was not known when buhari made him VP. Tinubu should go and enjoy his loot.

Philipponzaghi:
Lol the person that did this fact-checking don kolomental.

So Archbishop John Olorunfemi Onaiyekan, a Yoruba man is now the candidate of the Northern minorities Christians?

If Tinubu pick a Yoruba Christian from the Northern geopolitical zone, will the other Northern Christian tribes in Jos, Benue, Taraba, Southern Kaduna, and other places accept him as one of their own?

CAN marginalizing middle-belt Christians and those in the core North. CAN should be ashamed of themselves.

sorry CAN is an organization but nigeria is a country, and as any member of CAN ever complain of marginalization? Answer yourself and stop being fool. We say no to muslim muslim ticket.

ryloy:


But Atiku will win neither Kano nor Lagos, however, all Northwest, South West, 4 States in North East, 4 States in North Central , 4 States in South South and 5% in SE will be won by Tinubu.

in your dream abi? If tinubu and his structure can win and they did not win osun. Let all tinubu supporters keep deciving themselves.

KingKO22:
Nothing can stop Jagaban not even IPOB or Obituary militants

The best he can do, is to spend the looted money for this kind of story but on reality everybody knows that a vote for him is a vote for more loot.

Daddyyin:
Reno is 100% accurate on this. That’s the definition of being civil.

how true is he? South south and south east is a no go area? But people went there in2015 and 2019 and we did not hear any bad news, he is just a fool and agent of destruction

Northerner Chrstians

#Tinubu Dares Not Run Witha Northern
Christian as His VP.He Would loose the
Elections to Atiku before 12pm !!!
"Yes, this is because the vast majority of
northern christians have turned out to be
evil serpents whose hatred, bigotry,
islamophobia and fatal actions against
the Northern Muslim is legendary and
with no limits.
They will initiate attacks against
muslims and because they have allies in
the dominant southern media, will
always turn around to claim victimhood
instead of being the culprits.
You will never get to hear stories of their
attacks against muslims in the biased
media until the Muslims decide to
undertake a reprisal counter attack
which is caused by lack of action by the
security agencies and government..
that's when all hell will break loose and
you will begin to read about "Unprovoked
Attacks on Defenceless Women &
Children" bla bla bla.
Millions of Northern Muslims who knoww
of the danger involved in this
arrangement of having to put our lives
and destiny for the next 8 years, into the
hands of a Northern Christian will rise
against this position, if taken..
Iwould definitely campaign against the
APC, and work towards the defeat of
APC at the polls.
Northern Muslims can never risk voting
for a Tinubu as our next president once
he commits this fatal error.
In the nearest future, no southern
presidential candidate should dare to
make the attempt of putting the destiny
of the Northern Muslims into the hands
of his Northern Christian VP!
After all, with Muslims having the
majority population in the north and in
the country, this should be a safety net
and an advantage to us rather than an
albatross.
The media would never bother to
investigate the root causes or context of
why the counter attack took place
amongst other salient and open factors,
but will push the idea that the attack was
'unprovoked'
The hatred against northern Muslims by
the inferiority complex ridden physce of
Northern Christians lasts a lifetime...it's
one that has been ingrained into their
hearts right from their homes,
communities, schools and churches etc.
This hatred continues to grow and is
expressed right from their cradle and
down to their graves.
With the present state of divisions solely
based on religion and tribe in the country
and especially in the north, Northern
Muslims would prefer to vote againsta
Tinubu once he makes the fatal error of
tagging his ticket with a Northern

it mean the south are fool too na because giving the chance that supposed to go to christian to a minority muslim is foolish idea , mr man you are one the problem we have in this country and this why Lawal is rooting against tinubu choice.

diadem10:
The Ingrate.

Tinubu and the Muslims didn't discriminate against him but now he's discriminating against Tinubu and Muslim ticket just because of his selfish interest. As a matter of fact, what did he do when he was given a post? He did nothing but looted away yet wants the presidential ticket?

Point is Tinubu chose someone from the core North. He chose one of the core North which happens to be Muslim since they're all Muslims anyway. The criteria is Northern and Southern.

Meanwhile, the big churches are in Lagos. Were they islamised? If Tinubu didn't islamise his wife and Lagos, he won't islamise anyone.

We all know Tinubu is one of the most liberal competent leader out there.

The southeast (Anambra especially) that claims to be Christian yet are discriminating against Kumuyi coming into Anambra. The hypocrisy. They don't even tolerate others whereas Tinubu is someone who tolerated them a lot and even had Igbos in his cabinet. Hateful lots.

you guys don't have anything good for this country, check the reality on ground today, is muslim muslim ticket good for this country at this point in time? See that man did not hate tinubu, check APC as of 2015 and APC of today, they have change from what is right to what is wrong. 2015 APC run all inclusive party but today the story have changed and that is where the problem is, not hating tinubu as all of you are saying. You guys should look deep and you will see everything is wrong with the way APC is today. Again the wife of a president has no office in our constitution, so remove tinubu marrying a christian from that equation. APC is evil with the way they have turn the party to.

iReddington:
“I plan for betrayal, I plan for backstabbing,I also plan for reunion and forgiveness long before they happen. In life,I expect nothing,I expect anything,I expect everything."
- Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Asiwaju wasn't capping, these are the kind of people he was talking about. Babachir Lawal is an ungrateful self serving snake, and 100 of him can't stop Asiwaju.

Lawal was never against tinubu, he is only against tinubu choice of VP which is a muslim, again as of 2015 APC was never like as it is now, they have a national chairman which is a christian and run an inclusive party unlike what it is now. So Lawal is talking about the present APC and the way they go about doing things now. He never hate tinubu and tinubu know it.

IgOga:


I am a Christian and I don't support Peter Obi......just because one is a Christian doesn't mean they will vote Obi.....although I have zero vote none of my family in Nigeria is supporting Obi and they are all Christians......this bukka analysis may cause you shock on election day....like Lasun was telling us how Labour party will win Osun only to get 0.34% of the votes

Bro you are not a christian, secondly the killings in this country will soon reach you. A P C will lose in kogi, simple.

ufotunang:
Atiku is full of pride.. Atiku would had gone to meet Wike plead with him and reconcile with him and tell him not to be annoyed for what all had happened all this while that he should forgive him for hurting him ...and I know Wike will forgive atikAtiku and be friends with him again and support him for the presidency.seat.....but when Atiku just ignored wike since the PDP primarie and the choosing of his running mate issues...and for 2 months since the PDP primaries in June 2022 till now he has ignored Wike and not met him.... indirectly he is creating enemity between him and wike...and that is not good for Atiku to ignore him.... Atiku is not humble

that is where tinubu pass him, immediately tinubu won, he went on reconciliation with other aspirants and not jet out. I think Atiku will have it hot this time and may not win any sizable vote in the south. I am obidient and useful.

Wake up from your sleep.

onez:
Chai..This guy has messed his life up with a second wife.

How?

thebosstrevor1:


Tinubu is not from my tribe.

Some section of the country, hate him because they hate yoruba people.

They won't tell you.

Why is it that during the endsar protest, this same man was the main target of the evils of the endsar protesters.

Now that he is contesting, he is also the victim of hate from another section of the country because they have their own candidate

Oga come to the NC here and see how people don't want him, he is not welcome because of questionable character. Stop spreading hate, I have a lots of yoruba friends and our mind set about the coming election is the same. Nobody hate Yoruba.

Nobody hate Yoruba, tinubu would have been celebrated if he backed osibanjo for the job and more so he choice of running mate did not go down well with most people, I have a lots of yoruba that will be voting tinubu because of his choice of running mate, he is the enemy of himself and yoruba in general.

Aqesimitta:
Ask yourself

Will those doing sit at home in the southeast, vote for peter obi?

Will those burning inec office in their state vote for peter obi?


Will those clamoring for BIAFRA vote for peter Obi

Tinubu and Atiku might be set of confused people but these Obidient guys need a new word added to the English Dictionary!

stop making obi project an igbo project, I am not an igbo man and I will never be but obi project is for all us both me and you. Igbo has nothing do with it.

dreu2fine:
How many mosque has he visited
Nobody is complaining now that Peter Obi is busy visiting churches.

He will soon visit mosques

Chinkoalhaji34:


Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the next president of the federal republic of Nigeria.

Obituary supporters can be bitter as they want, nothing wey dem fit do.

In your dream? Because in reality that guy is going no where.

Difrent:


Isn't that why Christianity should be different.

You should be ashamed of your comment. The right thing to do is call for fairness in CAN leadership abi are northern christians no longer christians because they are northerners?

has anybody in CAN complain to you?

Nexus25:


Lol.

I like how Tinubu keeps pressing forward without paying attention to those silly distractions.

The hypocrite you quoted started attacking Tinubu long before the issue of running mate.

Asiwaju cannot satisfy people like him irrespective of his choice of vp or DG. Thank God the man knows not to heed to their shenanigans

to me tinubu is doing himself, his desperation is too much, winning north and lost other parts is not a good strategy, that guy is a religious extremists.

Aldol:
Can't you guys just get it. With Elrufai as his campaign DG, Northwest is sealed for Tinubu. This Tinubu an real badoo I swear, better oil dey im head

this APC is an islamic party, be honest with yourself, must everything in APC revolve round muslim?

moghalu2010:
1. Nigeria’s poverty rate grows at 6% per minute
“We now live in a country where we have the highest number of poor people in any nations, 87 million, and growing 6 per cent every minute,” he said.

Fact - The claim is false. If we follow the premise of Nigeria’s poverty rate growing by 6 per cent every minute, it means by the fourteenth minute, the entire population (assuming even that it grows to 205.8 million) will be extremely poor.

2. Nigeria dropped on HDI from 152 to 157 …
He said: “Our HDI has dropped from 152 to 157, our global competitive index has dropped from 124 to 127. In terrorism, we have moved from seven to number three behind Iran and Afghanistan

Fact - According to World Economic Forum’s 2015-16 Global Competitiveness Report, Nigeria ranked 124 out of 140 countries, an improvement from the 127th position of the previous year.


3. Nigeria uses over 50 per cent of revenue for debt management and owes N22.7 trillion

He said: “Today we are virtually at a level where our debt is not sustainable because we are using over 50 per cent of our revenues to service debt, which means we don’t even have enough to be able to do infrastructural projects that are highly needed in this country.”

Fact - DMO had said in January that Nigeria’s spending on debt servicing stands at 34.02 per cent of revenue — as likewise noted in its 2017 Report of the Annual National Debt Sustainability Analysis (DSA), the latest of such reports.

4. Bank loans are about 15 per cent of GDP… China is 250 per cent of GDP
“Your banks today, all the loans they have given are about 15 per cent of your GDP, when other countries are doing 50, 100 percent. China alone is doing 250 per cent on their GDP as credits to businesses, to private sector,” Obi said, while answering a question on driving investments to the economy.

Fact - The claim is exaggerated. According to data sourced from the IMF and made available on TradingEconomics, which provides more than 20 million economic indicators for 196 countries, in Nigeria, domestic credit provided by the bank sector as a per cent of the GDP for 2017 is 26.56 per cent. For China, the figure stands at 215 per cent.

5. Nigeria has only 2 million vehicles, 10 per 1000
He said: “It [subsidy] is a waste… what are you actually subsidising? Look at it. Nigeria has one of the low car ownership in the world. It is 10 per thousand. So we have only two million vehicles, and you are paying almost a trillion when we have 87 million people that are poor.”

Fact - According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Nigeria’s estimated vehicle population as at the second quarter of 2018 is 11,760,871, and the vehicle per population ration was put at 0.06 (as against Obi’s 0.01).

6. 40 per cent of the GDPs of China, Indonesia and Malaysia from manufacturing

“No country that is doing well… If you look at the GDP of China, 40 per cent is from manufacturing, Indonesia 40 percent, Malaysia 40 percent. Even in the western world… yours is under eight, and your factories are closing down,” he said

According to 2017 data from the World Bank, while the manufacturing sector contributes 29.3 per cent to China’s GDP, it contributes 20.12 per cent to Indonesia’s GDP and 22.3 per cent to Malaysia’s GDP — none of the figures as high as that cited by the PDP candidate.


7. Total bank loans today is N19tn and only 0.5% goes to SMEs
He said: “You can look at your loan portfolios. Today, the total loan from the banks is N19 trillion, and only … 0.5 per cent of that goes to your SMEs, where in the countries it is about 20 percent.”

It is the Central Bank of Nigeria’s Statistical Bulletin on Financial Statistics Out of this, N10.7 billion went to small-scale enterprises, which amounts to 0.1 per cent. The only periods when the percentage increased between 2014 and 2017 was in the second quarter of 2014 and the first quarter of 2017 when it was 0.2 and 1.7 per cent respectively.

8. The power generation in Indonesia is 50,000 megawatts for 250 million people…

“…If you can support the SMEs properly and be able to work on your manufacturing, which then leads to the issues of power, because what we are generating today is too low. Look at your competitors, the lowest that you can see in the MIND countries is Indonesia that is generating 50,000 for 250 million people and you are generating about 4,000 for 200 million,” Obi said.

Fact - according to data from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration, by the end of 2016, Indonesia’s “installed generation capacity was 58,541 MW, with 40,461 MW (75%) generated by state-owned National Electric Company (PLN) and the remainders, 13,254 MW and 2,434 MW are produced by independent power producers (IPPs) and private power utility (PPUs) respectively”.


9. African trade today is less than 9% … Oil gives 80% of our forex


“African trade today is less than nice percent, and ff we get it right it can go as high as 30 per cent or 40 percent. The foreign exchange you are saying today you’re now earning from oil, oil now gives you 80 per cent of your foreign exchange, when in effect if you do the right things, you can have twice than coming from manufacturing,” he said, while commenting on the African Continental Free Trade Agreement.

Fact - According to the NBS, crude oil and other petroleum products constituted up to 87.7 per cent of Nigeria’s foreign exchange earnings in the first quarter of 2018.


10 - I have invested aggressively in education as governor, taking my state from being 28th to number one…
“The more you invest in education, the better your economy. So we will aggressively invest in education. I have done this even as a governor of a state, where I took a state from being number 28 to number one, because we know the value of education. I was the first to equip all our schools with ICT… Go to HP, I bought the highest [number of] computer[s] ever bought by a government in Africa: 30,000. So I know the value,” he said.

Fact - It is not clear if this last claim applied generally or was restricted to sub-national governments only. Records, however, show that countries such as Rwanda, Kenya, and South Africa have implemented much more ambitious educational computer projects before 2015.


11. NPA has an office and guesthouse in London
Obi said: “Nigerian Ports Authority, for years, looked at the expansion that is coming and everything and decided not to invest. Instead, we are using money wrongly. Nigerian Ports Authority is the only ports in the world that has an office, even a guesthouse, outside its country of operation. They have a guesthouse in London; and that is the problem.”

According to NPA, the agency operate an overseas liaison office” with the physical address stated as: 2nd Floor, Allenby House, 1a Temple Rd Cricklewood, London.

show us the correct one by your candidate, simple

johnfem321:
I wonder what he will write in manifesto after talking so much

where did obi said all these about NBA, I don't think he said so. Prove or anyone that claim he said so is a big lier.

Esseite:


There is no excuse... 100 of 150 players is the least of Nigeria's concern.. i think we are lucky we have an aspirant exposing us to these figures, many would think Nigeria NBA dream died after Olajuwon. If not Obi, how many other aspirants even have that knowledge?.

where did he said that? Any prove he said so?

Verdict: Peter Obi lied

can you show us where did obi said this? Just asking to know.

PlayerMeji:
He knows most of his supporters cannot defend him without turning it into a brawl.

Pitobi is an Igbo project not a Nigerian project.

Know this, know peace!

let say you are right, what is the wrong of Igbo man that he cannot lead this country? What is the contribution of other tribes that rule us? Buhari is a Fulani man but has fail, obansajo failed, good luck failed., Maybe an igbo man will have the solution that we need as a nation. Let try him.

candidtalk:
@OP.

What you reveal just shows that only dreamers, fantasist, gullible elements and ignorant folks are supporting Obi.

I don't rate Atiku but would accept him as President any day rather than the liar, propagandists and deceitful scammer called Peter Obi.

Study Obi carefully and you will note he is a carefully packaged scam. His record as Governor is totally empty and below average.

People forget he was governor in the Era of the likes of Duke, Fashola, Akpabio and others who stood out for achievement no one could doubt. Whereas everything about Obi is more propaganda than substance.

Visiting Egypt, hanging around Downing Street in London, taking silly pictures with Nigerian taxi driver in the UK ,who gave messiah Obi 'free ride, to even Hollywood A list actors endorsing Obi.

It is all scams and deceit with Obi we have not seen from Tinubu, Atiku, Kwankwaso or even Sowore who is a bit of a showman.

When Obi talks it is all evasive rhetoric with zero substance. Neubulous jargon that can't fool any averagely intelligent analyst.

I laugh at Obidullards who think attacking Tinubu is a wise strategy. Tinubu cannot join issues with the upstart Obi.

Campaign will separate the men from boys. When you talk about security Kwankwaso, Obi and Atiku will all spout rhetoric.

Yet Tinubu has been there, done it and got the t-shirt. He can point to RRS, perhaps the most professional subdivision of the Nigerian police force, he created, equipped and funded innovatively.

No be 'dem say dem say' of Obi, Kwankwaso etal.

If you want to talk economics, Tinubu simply has to point to his achievement of making Lagos the 5th or 6th biggest economy in Africa, richer than nations like Ghana, while Obi's and Kwankwaso's reign as Governors were mediocre and completely unremarkable.

Let's not even talk about the likes of Eko Atlantic City that is a stupendous ode to Tinubu's unreal vision and ability to concieve great ideas.

All in all, the reality is that no other can match Tinubu, not even remotely close, if we talk about record and achievements in political leadership and public administration.

any leader who cannot make decisions that can unifer our nation at this critical time is not a leader. Any leader that looks for away he can win and not a way the people he intend to lead can win is not a leader. Telling us the same old story that has no effect is not what we need. Tinubu of then is different from tinubu of now, a vote for tinubu is a vote against equity, fairness and justice. We will not take that part. Thanks and most importantly leave obi alone, he has not condem any of the candidate contest in this election, they are the one doing so, leave him alone.

Moh247:


No confuse my father with your own papa oo

Because for Ibadan and even FG my papa name opens doors

So who is also your own father

Clown

your no get any name, buhari is a failure, kiss the truth.

alsudan:
With Obi clearing the SE/SS and half of NC and Atiku doing same in the NE/NW, then a run off between Obi and Atiku is most likely.

Tinubu on the other hand will win in the SW plus Kogi and Kwara, while Kwankwaso will win in Jigawa/Kano, but will both be dropped after the first ballot.

tinubu cannot win kogi take it to the bank.
