3 Reasons Why The Northern Elites Are against Tinubu. by Workch: 10:51am On Feb 09, 2023
1. Tinubu seem uncontrollable and power drunk.

The north are weary that they may end up making a monster the president. If that happens, they are in ruins. He's not president yet, he's acting like he has so much power and ready to fight everyone, what will happen when you make him president?

2. Atiku.

The north will prefer a devil they know in Atiku to an unknown monster called Tinubu.

3. Tinubu's loud mouth.

Tinubu keeps arrogating importance to himself by attacking Buhari. He keeps telling everyone that he made Buhari president. This act is putting many northern elites on the defensive.

He is a betrayal,he betrayed the south by campaigning against GEJ. He does not deserve a single vote from the south south.
Any reasonable and sane Nigerian will not vote for a man that betrayed the south.
Emilokan is just too desperate for power,too proud and insultive.

I would not have bothered to respond to you, but due to the fact that we are speaking to people of different races and backgrounds.
Jonathan was the cause of his defeat in 2015. After Tinubu and some SW leaders had fought for and helped Jonathan to win the Cabals, and the Presidency, he jettisoned their agreement and relegated the SW to nothing. No SW person was allowed to hold any 'sensitive' position in that government. The desire to survive was the reason behind the formation of APC. APC would not have been IF JONATHAN HAD RESPECTED AGREEMENT. The same way this "emi lokan" syndrome is playing out. The failure of Jonathan's leadership is what we are all suffering from today. Please do not blame Tinubu, but blame the system that failed to honour agreement and reward loyalty and competence.

Tinubu Confesses He Helped Make Jonathan President In 2011

A frontline leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, at the weekend confessed he betrayed his own candidate for President Goodluck Jonathan in the 2011 presidential contest.

In that contest, Mr. Jonathan was in competition with General Muhammadu Buhari of the Congress for Political Change, but also with Nuhu Ribadu, the former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, who was the flagbearer of Tinubu’s Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).


Curiously, while the candidates of the ACN did very well in the legislative and gubernatorial elections, Ribadu was trounced in all but one of the ACN States by Mr. Jonathan. Observers have always suspected that Tinubu, who was known to have flown to Abuja to meet with the president just before the election, was bought off to give victory to Jonathan in the area.

Speaking at Onikan Stadium during an Ndigbo APC governorship rally on Saturday, Tinubu appeared to confirm those suspicions.

"In 2011, I helped Jonathan become President because he made us believe he was a breath of fresh air,” the APC boss said. “I didn't say because he was from Bayelsa that I would not help him. We voted for him because he promised to make our lives better. But now, he has failed us."


In the speech, Tinubu appeared to have forgotten he did not belong to Jonathan’s Peoples Democratic Party in 2011, and that he had a candidate in the race that was not told ACN was voting for Jonathan. Ribadu campaigned on the ACN platform until the end.

On Saturday, Tinubu urged the Igbo in Lagos not to permit the politics of tribe and religion to influence their vote, and that they should support the APC so as to continue to reap the dividends of democracy.

"Igbo have lived here for years, and nobody has discriminated against them,” he said. “No one would fight them because they are based in their land. No one can determine the tribe or family where he is born; it is only God that can do
