You're shifting the goalpost

Bar1941:
Anything short of Tinubu emergence as APC presidential candidate is a doom for the party. Buhari will lose even in his native Katsina state.

lonecatt:
buhari is trying to protect aso rock from being hijacked by a known thief just as he hijacked major assets of lagos state.

we are even talking about buhari making choice of candidate, how about tinubu openly and arrogantly deciding who becomes governor of lagos state .

he disgraced ambode and chased out other candidates contesting primaries with sanwolu the present lagos state government yet no one is coughing.

Some people are just too criminal in nature to hold sensitive positions, they can even convert the central bank of Nigeria to their personal property.

Shifting Goalpost?…..because I care more about what my President does or does not do….as opposed to what duplicitous behaviour some human being called Lukman may be guilty of? My interest is in the President because he is the one that carries the mantle to represent some 200million people in this country. It is the example he lays that politicians are likely to follow many years hence….not that of someone called Lukman!

[/quote][quote author=OyeofIkoTuN post=113414543]First I wanna to correct that impression that "dominant people see it as an insult to the office of the presidency not president"..

I like to say we nairalanders were shocked just like the presidency.. We don't see it as an insult,we were just shocked.

Secondly we both know that are no channels to reach him...Ear infection and boss is hardly around.. Envision an adventurer for starters

Thirdly I will advise you stop drinking panadol for another man's headache not just another man,oga boss!..His tenure will come and go.

Lastly not only did the presidency not read past the first paragraph,we know letter did not pass second gate at the Aso villa..

Thanks for letting us know you are a senior member of the ndi oshi cartel....More grease to your stealing elbows

Samakus:


Wrong example! He's actually trying to follow example that people like Tinubu had set many times now, which has unfortunately became the convention

jnig:


When you want to make mockery of someone's input in any national discourse, don't assume that you are smarter than everyone. Less I forget, you did not reply on behalf of nairalanders. More so, could it be that you didn't discern that you are guilty of what you are accusing the author of doing? Certainly, different cartels exist nawadays in Nigeria and you are certainly a member of one.Bw that as it is, you are taking Panadol for another's headache. Let me know if you still wish to know why your response fail short of being a smart reply through pun

shinealight:


What has Tinubu got to do with this? I thought we’re talking about whether or not Buhari has a right to choose his successor?

Comparative analysis.

Anything short of Tinubu emergence as APC presidential candidate is a doom for the party. Buhari will lose even in his native Katsina state.

lugado:


For the records Tinubu did not impose anyone on Ambode. Their was a primary election and Ambode lost. So pls correct statement

The President does not have any “right” to seek to choose a successor….in a democracy, that right belongs to the people and they must be allowed to exercise it. Goons like you Suleiman Musa should also desist from turning Buhari into a demigod.
What Nonsense!

lugado:
Two wrongs can never make a right. If the governors are doing it doesn't mean it's right.
Buhari is the president of Nigeria. He should lead by example . He should not be following what the governors are doing.
Besides the governors do not wait for the last minute before expressing their intentions. It saves a lot of stress and it removes controversy
The presidency cannot be compared to any office in Nigeria
If Buhari had performed very well during his tenure it would have given a lot of clout and confidence to announce his successor early.
But right now ,honestly nobody trust his decisions anymore.
That's why people have the confidence to come out to contest

Great2017:

How about Tinubu choosing the governors of Lagos since 2007? If anybody should complain about concensus, it should not be Tinubu.

ChoCho54:
There's no prize for telling.

Tinubu is not a democratic person himself. He can't be choosing who governs SW states year after year, and expect buhari not to...

shinealight:


Does he not allow Lagosians to vote for his preferred candidate or reject him on every occasion? If the others are truly popular in Lagos, they will beat Tinubu’s candidate hands down. That’s all Tinubu is asking for……let there be a contest at the Primaries…..he’s sure he can beat Buhari’s candidate! That’s democracy!!

Great2017:


Will Nigerians not also vote to decide who becomes the President? There is nothing like democratic about Tinubu, so he is not in any position to reject Buhari’s concensus candidate.
