Bola Tinubu’s Mother, Abibatu Magaji, on podium in 1979, campaigning for Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Alhaji Lateef Jakande.

This is an Alhaja campaigning vigorously for Awolowo on a Christian-Christian ticket. To God be the glory

Remember:

Chief Awolowo vice presidential candidate in that election is Philip Umeadi and they ran a Christian - Christian ticket.

Alhaja Abibatu Magaji was a core Muslim and yet she campaigned Openly with all her strength for Obaseki Awolowo Christian-Christian ticket.

Awolowo went on to win the whole SW region by over 90% of the votes.

Asiwaju Bola Ahmad Tibubu met politics at home, he was born into politics.

That man is a political guru of this 1999-2022 era and by God’s grace and the vote of Nigerians, Asiwaju Jagaban will be the next president of Nigeria next year.

God bless Jagaban and all his well wishers.

Urchin, go down memory lane well and quit giving half truths and lies.

Baba Awolowo never wanted to run a christian- christian ticket. The northerners refused to run with him and he had no choice than to pick a fellow southern vice. That was why he lost.

How the North denied Awolowo a running mate, by Chief Babatope

Chief Babatope makes a very startling disclosure about why the Yoruba leader, Papa Obafemi Awolowo, chose a fellow southerner as his running- mate in a country divided usually along North and South lines. Babatope should know.

At the age of 35, he became the Director of Organisation of the Unity Party of Nigeria, UPN.
Babatope asks: “Did you know that Papa Awolowo contacted some of his trusted friends in the North, requesting that one of them should come and be his running-mate but they turned him down? They rejected, especially those from the Hausa-Fulani clan.

One of them who was Papa’s good friend, Papa Yahaya Gusau, he told Awolowo that it would be meaningless for him to come and be a running-mate because people are not going to vote for us. Papa also contacted the late Ibrahim Tahir and Tahir said it was going to be difficult for him to team up with Papa. Papa then moved to the Middle-Belt states.

Bola Tinubu really humble himself for his mom in her lifetime,that's why everything seems to be going easy for him.
Her prayers is really working for him,I am very sure one of her prayers is that "Bola,if you have multitude enemies,you are the one that will conquer them",and her prayer is still working for him.

1979 is not 2023


Buhari has divided this country along religious and ethnic lines.


If you like dig up where John the Baptist was supporting Muslim-muslim ticket, Nigerian Christians have rejected Tinubu's insensitive ticket.

Let him go fight for Northern votes with Atiku and Kwankwanso.

Majority of Southern votes lost already

What God's grace is available for a rogue and governance failure like Thiefnuibu who made this disaster in Aso Rock president seven years ago?
Do you know what you are talking about, before people accuse you of blasphemy??
No true Yoruba son will touch anything related to Thiefnuibu again, as the Osun people showed him last month.
