Just wow.
So now it's about religion not about competence and track record anymore.
I can't believe Pa Adebanjo said this because where was he when Obasanjo and Jonathan were president. Gowon, a Northern Christian has once ruled this country.
Basically,he is stylishly saying that no Muslim Southerner deserves to be president.
Atiku is using tribalism.
Obi is using religion+ethnic sentiments.
It's only Tinubu that is using competency, antecedents and track records among the aspirants.

That's is why Obidients need to take a look at the bigger picture and support Atiku/PDP. Because God forbid, if Muslim/Muslim ticket should succeed, we would all have ourselves to blame. We can see the nonexistent of government in southern Kaduna a predominantly Christian zone being neglected by El-rufai's led government. El-rufai himself is a chief advocate of Muslim/Muslim ticket because he tried it in his state and about to repeat itself. Obidients are trying to allow emotions get over them. No doubt Obi is a good man but with the statistics available and being truthful to ourselves, can Obi win?

A statement like this is very unfortunate. Is it impossible to make your contribution without insults? The value of life has been so diminished that it seems ok to wish another person dead. What a country, what a people.
I find it very hard to believe that we are living in the same country. Should any Nigerian be willing to fight because of any politician?

Afenifebi, Playing politics of religion. We should tell this old fool that he is seriously marginalizing the southern Muslim then, and he his gradually waking them up as non of the southern Muslim has ever been the President of this country.
He wants to play victim while the southern Muslims are the real victim here.

Nonsense
..Southern MUslims should align with Northern MUSLIMS during election, in that sense , whenever it is the turn of Northern Muslims , they should give chance for a Southern Muslim because there has never been a Northern Christian as President of Nigeria....

Until NORTH states giving Nigeria , a NORTHERN CHRISTIAN President......the South can't give them a SOUTHERN MUSLIM President.....

Hope you understand it better now and stop crying and wailing......lols

Jonathan is a Southerner and Christian

Obasanjo is Southerner and Christian

Aguyin Ironsi, a southerner and a Christian
Ernest Sonekan is a Southerner and Christian

That is 4 Head of state/ Presidents from South and all Christians
The question, we should ask ourself,

Who has been a Southerner Muslim President in Nigeria?

Southerner has never produced A Muslim President before.

Papa Adebanjo, posterity will not be kind to people like you for misleading people who might not be old enough to know the history in Nigeria,
it's you the jihadist terrorist them that will be disgraced forever

Those attacking Peter Obi are not attacking Obi, they stylishly just want Christianity to be deciminnated finally in Nigeria.. Why would a Muslim want to succeed a fellow Muslim ?
Can average sane Muslim tolerate that if it's the other way round?

Go to Abuja and see the way some Christians are swearing affidavit in court changing their Christian names to Muslim names just to get government work... The same thing is applicable to some Muslim dominated states..

Now what would now happen if another Muslim becomes the president? God forbids!!


Those that want Christianity to be eliminated in Nigeria shall be disappointed

Nigeria is not an Islamic country.. This country belongs to everybody

Amen. But obi is not a christian bearing christian name doesn't make u one. A christian shd not support a failure like obi, if truly u want better for this country

This man is starting to sound like a religious bigot/agbaya. Atleast the south has produced two Christian presidents since '99 (OBJ and GEJ), while no southerner of Muslim extraction has ever been sworn into that office -- Abiola was denied. Did he even think before he uttered that statement?


Who denied him the chance? Was it not the same Northern oligarchy?
What the old man is saying is very true. El-rufai picking a Muslim deputy was a test run to see the public reaction.

The way politics is in southern Nigeria. It is not that easy for a southern Muslim to become president in Nigeria... Take a look at the two presidents that southern had produced, they (Obj and Jonathan) are Christian.

The same religion-political atmosphere we are having in southern Nigeria politics is what they are having too in the northern part whereby a northern christian cannot become a president in Nigeria except if God want it.

I so much happy that southern is very lucky to have a brilliant candidate like Asiwaju this time around to correct the abnormal situation that sounds our Religion-Political space in the south and I wish him success.


That a southern man cannot become a president in Nigeria again by Pa Ayo Adebanjo is a false statement. Christians always be the beneficiary whenever presidency is thrown to the south.
A case study is the current situation of Asiwaju a Muslim man vying for the position of number one Nigerian.
Some Christians in the south don't want him there, hiding at the back of Muslim Muslim ticket.

Nigerians know very well that no man or agenda can Islamize or Christianize Nigeria or Nigerians.

Nothing but the truth, God bless you pa Ayo , History will be kind to you and your generation yet unborn, what we are fighting for is survival, some people think this is a child play , this is a matter of life and death yes it has long reached this point, survival of the common man on the streets is being threatened everytime by this old politicians in apc and PDP, mark my words nothing good will come out of atiku or even agbado cassava man that one is a fatal failure, the only hope we have now is Peter obi, shine your eyes there is no time for religion, tribe or enthinity this is time to do what is right, it's either Peter obi wins this presidency or we forget anything about Nigeria, we divide entirely must , I can't imagine atiku or tinubu old fucccccckin useless politicians who messed up this country to become president, e no go better for them both PDP and APC they will suffer for their sins committed in suffering and leaving Nigeria in this state of suffering and poverty even with all our rich natural resources we are suffering.

Chief Adebanjo ought to have outgrown that mentality. At his age he still reeks of bigotry! Hopefully he doesn't carry that bitterness to his grave because it is absolutely certain that Bola Tinubu is going to be the next President.

Pa Adebanjo is one of the few sensible yoruba elder we have left in Nigeria....see i don't have problem with Christianity or Islam person been the president really but can we just be sensible and fair for ones....can we just understand the fact that crisis and unrest will never leave Nigeria if we don't do the right thing and been fair...as a Yoruba man it's way for me to say a Yoruba man should be the president tribe wise but even we Yorubas know Tinubu won't do shit...a fully fit man will hardly success transforming this nation as we speak now NT to talk of a wrinkled vegetable whose words are even incoherent...

The only man who seem to have slight vision and clean slate is obi....but the Hausa are still staying on the opinion "they can't trust an Ibo with presidency" ....the most painful part isbwe Yoruba keep following them with this notion blindly forgetting the tribe we keep making am ally has done more harm to the nation than good ...can we keep ask ourselves since we ave been following the northe and giving them block vote..what have we gained?....vice president at most ...A man that was sidelined and made a figure head in office ..power still stands in the north as we speak....
The ibos might have been too bold to counter the nation in years ....but the simple question is what they have been subjected to in years ....can the north take it?....

Can we the Yorubas take it?

The last time I checked we were stamped on by fulani in our fathers farms and the next thing we did within month was shout "oduduwa nation"

My simple take either u believe it or not is "if Obi doesn't win ...Nigeria will be under another big threat"....

We are simply hypocrites and can't take wat we dish out...if the ibos fail again ,they have the right to say they are leaving...

One major thing we Yorubas need to know to have a rethink is ..kindly throw a debate or a threat to a norther. Group today and tell them how the nation should be splitted or everyone given a fair sha ...the next thing they will threaten u with is WAR...they have close to nothing they can really bank on to pour out millions of dollars ..but wat they bank on is their numbers during electron...

Till when will we do this...most federal govt parastatals are headed and filled with northerns....if other tribe won't be respected and treated the same ...let them go or Nigeria can't know peace...it's that simple
