Tinubu is just warming up! This is a man who knows how to turn challenges into opportunities. The North will come around when they see the positive changes unfolding. It's all part of the game; politics is never straightforward. He just needs to recalibrate his strategy and remind everyone of the progress he’s capable of. Renewed Hope is not just a slogan; it’s a vision that will prevail!

He did not imagine the North as a competitor. Awolowo understood the differences and was just looking out for his people

“Nigeria is not a nation. It is a mere geographical expression. There are no ‘Nigerians’ in the same sense as there are ‘English,’ ‘Welsh,’ or ‘French,’ The word ‘Nigeria’ is a mere distinctive appellation to distinguish those who live within the boundaries of Nigeria and those who do not” - Chief Obafemi Awolowo, 1947

Tinubu's political acumen is on full display. He knows how to navigate the ever-changing tides of alliances in Nigeria. Those who underestimate him might just be in for a rude awakening. The North may be divided, but Tinubu is a master strategist; he always seems to find a way to consolidate power.

if there are two Nigerians i can not bet against (even if the money is on the house) based on their antecedence to perform viz: Dangote and Bola Ahmed Tinubu. When all chips are down, they have the tenacity and cache of Human resource to get the goal accomplished and hand over the baton to the next in line for continuity. This is one character (continuity) Pa OBJ Lacked, and failed twice.

I am not politically savvy but from the look of things the next set of presidents and head of Government for the forseeable decade to come regardless of ethnicity will be from the BAT ideologue. Continuity and perpetuity is the strategy.

The analysis attempts to paint President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s political strategy in a dire light, suggesting his chances for re-election in 2027 are dwindling due to the recent Zanga-Zanga protests. While the protests highlight discontent, the article misses several critical aspects of Tinubu’s long-term strategy and the dynamics of Nigerian politics.

First, the notion that Tinubu’s coalition with the Northern political establishment has crumbled is premature. Northern politics is notoriously fluid, and alliances are often re-forged based on evolving interests. The protests, while significant, do not represent the entirety of the Northern political landscape. Dismissing Tinubu’s influence based on short-term reactions fails to consider his deep-rooted connections and ability to navigate complex political terrains.

The claim that Tinubu’s economic policies are pushing people to the brink, while valid in its concern for immediate impacts, overlooks the long-term vision behind these decisions. The removal of fuel subsidies and currency adjustments are painful but necessary reforms to stabilize the Nigerian economy. Immediate backlash was expected, but the true test will be whether these policies can bring about sustainable growth, reduce inflation, and ultimately improve the standard of living. If successful, Tinubu’s approach could secure not just Northern support, but nationwide approval.

Furthermore, the article’s suggestion that Tinubu discard neoliberal policies in favor of Awolowo’s welfarist approach is overly simplistic. The economic challenges Nigeria faces today are vastly different from those of Awolowo’s time. A modern, diversified economy cannot thrive on protectionism and government intervention alone. Tinubu’s embrace of market-oriented reforms may seem harsh now, but they could lay the groundwork for a more resilient economy, reducing Nigeria’s dependence on oil and fostering innovation and entrepreneurship.

The author also overlooks the fact that Tinubu’s silence in the face of protests is not a sign of weakness or loss of control but a calculated move. In Nigerian politics, applying the “stick and carrot” approach at the right moment can solidify power rather than erode it. Tinubu understands that acting too swiftly or harshly could alienate key supporters or escalate tensions. By allowing the protests to run their course, he avoids giving them undue importance while preparing to address the underlying issues in a manner that consolidates his authority.

The assumption that Tinubu’s political capital is exhausted ignores his ability to adapt and pivot as needed. The President is well aware of the vested interests, often referred to as the “cabal,” that have historically held Nigerian leaders hostage. His careful maneuvering, however aloof it may appear, is designed to avoid the pitfalls that have trapped his predecessors. By focusing on long-term economic reforms and maintaining strategic alliances, Tinubu is positioning himself to outlast immediate challenges and secure a peaceful, prosperous reign.

While the protests and economic hardships are real concerns, the analysis underestimates Tinubu’s strategic acumen and overstates the impact of short-term unrest on his long-term prospects. If Tinubu continues to balance reforms with strategic alliances and carefully timed interventions, he could emerge stronger, not weaker, in the lead-up to 2027.

The problem most youths on this forum have, especially those from Southwest is that they are not really smart in their thinking, they are just commenting with hatred and dislike for Igbos and Peter Obi without being objective and smart and their foolishness is seriously affecting or will affect Tinubu's chances in 2027 if Tinubu plays according to their ignorant mindset.


This poster gave you guys a daring secret exposure of what played out in 2023 and what is going on in the background.


Bola Tinubu have an agenda to dismantle Northern political influence in Nigeria and Tinubu also have a plan to be the last influential Nigerian President as he plans to restructure Nigeria and return power to regions and LGA levels before he leaves office because he knows that if he fails to do these things before he leaves office, Northern political Mafias will regroup and use it to deal with his family and Yoruba region, so he is working hard to ensure he finishes the battle by dismantling that Northern political influence and grip on Nigeria and I honestly support him in that regard even though the battle is affecting Nigeria economically and otherwise.



In 2023 Northern political Mafias wanted power to remain in the North under APC and when they realized that it may cause an uproar, they reluctantly chose to push the power to Atiku which was what gave Atiku the confidence not to bother about Wike and his Asoebi men's shenanigans because Atiku was so confident of his Northern brothers secret support.


Tinubu being a smart politician worked on El Rufai's greed for power by quickly aligning with El Rufai to deceive him into thinking Tinubu would pick him as Running mate. Tinubu still deceived him after picking Shettima by making him his point man he was carrying about to key campaign moves including the one at London.


Tinubu outsmarted the North in several ways and I give him kudos because he knew Northerners wouldn't have allowed him become President if he didn't act sick and about to die. He also knew that it would be difficult for him if he didn't carry El Rufai and co along, so he played them all. Even Aliko Dangote's ordeal is all part of Tinubu's decision to dismantle Northern political and economic influence in Nigeria and I commend Tinubu on that.



Now like the Op rightfully pointed out, Northerners are trying to work on Peter Obi with an agreement to align with Atiku to defeat Tinubu in 2027 so that Obi would then take over in 2031 to do one tenure and return power back to North.


And if they succeed in convincing Peter Obi to become Atiku's running mate in 2027, believe me, they might win Tinubu. Though the only challenge they would have is that if Peter Obi agrees to deputize Atiku in 2027, Obi will not get massive votes from Igbo youths like he got in 2023, Obi will also lose most Yoruba youth votes he got in 2023, but with a mass Northern vote Atiku/Obi would secure in 2027 if they marge together, it will overshadow the votes they would lose from Igbo and Yoruba youths that supported Obi in 2023.


If Tinubu wants to checkmate their moves, what Tinubu should do now is to first realize that his Northern game is over and face South to consolidate his support base in the south and Middlebelt by doing the below things:


1.) Tell COAS and IGP to work seriously together to curb Fulani herdsmen attacks in Middlebelt states like Benue, Plateau, Kogi, etc

2.) Initiate or create a Middlebelt Development Commission to return back displaced Middlebelt indigenes and farmers

3.) Release Nnamdi Kanu at all cost without minding whatever nonsense his Yoruba kinsmen maybe thinking, this will return peace to Southeast and win Tinubu large supporters that Obi would lose should he mistakenly decide to deputize Atiku.

4.) Work seriously to actualize the extra one state in Southeast.

5.) Start paying Niger Delta youths a monthly stipend of say NGN50,000 in the name of any reason he can come up with, and this should be initiated around beginning of 2026 so it won't deplete Nigeria's scarce resources.



If Tinubu work on these points I raised, he would most likely checkmate Northerners and whatever Zanga Zanga plans they may have and will win again in 2027

All Tinubu bots on NL. If you truly love your principal, take this to him, let him read and act exactly as written here.

I object on a few points you raised though. The moment Obi deputized Atiku, he will immediately lose all the organic support he got in the last election.

A plus for Tinubu is if he eventually finds a way to bring food inflation way down, even if we have to continue with high energy prices

I guess that was the intention all along. The cabals who are in the shadows and behind this protest, don't care about the masses or the hunger they are facing. They are simply after the agenda of the next election. But the mob is usually mindless, mix that mob with uneducated people that the north is predominantly filled with, then you have people you can manipulate at will. Sad how they continue to let themselves get used.

The South-East won't support Tinubu unless he commissions a seaport there. It would also be an easy way for Atiku to win over the Igbos' support.

Take this man serious at your own peril.

Before the APC presidential primaries, he gleefully claimed his sources in the corridors of power had told him Mr Tinubu was wasting his time and that he would never be President of this country.

In one or more of his articles, he listed reasons why Tinubu would not win the primaries. He was so full of delusion, and still is today.

More recently, he promised that the protest would portend the fall of the government. It hasn't. He must be very disappointed.

Like he did before APC primaries, he is back again peddling views by a narrow group of so-called northern forces that he thinks will determine what happens in 2027. He told us he was certain Tinubu would not be allowed to be President. That prediction proved to be hot air.

Now, he is back again posturing as the man who knows tomorrow.

The man always pushes narrow sectional northern interests but hides under the cover of pro good governance to deceive naive Southern readers who can't read between the lines or know the man's inglorious history.

People like him are never happy if a Northerner is not the President, or if they can't control a Southern president.

FFK has got the SW and North unity which he craved. It's for Yoruba and North control of oil revenues from the Niger delta region made up 95% of the old Eastern region.

In his mindset in 2023, this unity shall enable rotation of apex political leadership of Nigeria between the North and the SW regions to control oil revenues.

Even Kperogi shares in FFK's belief, reading here from Kperogi's ethnic and religious permutations on political alliances.
FFK got educated in the UK.
Kperogi is a lecturer in the US.
When people like FFK and Kperogi are like this, what does one expect the Almajiris and urchins to do with their votes in the polling both?


Guess why nothing short of breaking Nigeria into new and manageable countries is the ultimate goal for people in the old Eastern region of Nigeria.

Tinubu outsmarted the North in several ways and I give him kudos because he knew Northerners wouldn't have allowed him become President if he didn't act sick and about to die. He also knew that it would be difficult for him if he didn't carry El Rufai and co along, so he played them all. Even Aliko Dangote's ordeal is all part of Tinubu's decision to dismantle Northern political and economic influence in Nigeria and I commend Tinubu on that.



Now like the Op rightfully pointed out, Northerners are trying to work on Peter Obi with an agreement to align with Atiku to defeat Tinubu in 2027 so that Obi would then take over in 2031 to do one tenure and return power back to North.


And if they succeed in convincing Peter Obi to become Atiku's running mate in 2027, believe me, they might win Tinubu. Though the only challenge they would have is that if Peter Obi agrees to deputize Atiku in 2027, Obi will not get massive votes from Igbo youths like he got in 2023, Obi will also lose most Yoruba youth votes he got in 2023, but with a mass Northern vote Atiku/Obi would secure in 2027 if they marge together, it will overshadow the votes they would lose from Igbo and Yoruba youths that supported Obi in 2023.


If Tinubu wants to checkmate their moves, what Tinubu should do now is to first realize that his Northern game is over and face South to consolidate his support base in the south and Middlebelt by doing the below things:


1.) Tell COAS and IGP to work seriously together to curb Fulani herdsmen attacks in Middlebelt states like Benue, Plateau, Kogi, etc

2.) Initiate or create a Middlebelt Development Commission to return back displaced Middlebelt indigenes and farmers

3.) Release Nnamdi Kanu at all cost without minding whatever nonsense his Yoruba kinsmen maybe thinking, this will return peace to Southeast and win Tinubu large supporters that Obi would lose should he mistakenly decide to deputize Atiku.

4.) Work seriously to actualize the extra one state in Southeast.

5.) Start paying Niger Delta youths a monthly stipend of say NGN50,000 in the name of any reason he can come up with, and this should be initiated around beginning of 2026 so it won't deplete Nigeria's scarce resources.

6.) Open Seme border to allow affordable foreign rice and other food items to flow into Nigeria to crash food/commodity prices and reduce hunger.



If Tinubu work on these points I raised, he would most likely checkmate Northerners and whatever Zanga Zanga plans they may have and will win again in 2027
You are quite apt in your posits and I would rate u 80 of a 100.however,you first paragraph isn't quite correct..... majority of SW youths are on the same page with other Nigerians in chastising tinubu for the hardship in the country,it's only a few enlightened or politically savvy ones that are trying to decipher between propaganda and reality.

Nigeria we all know is a very complex country and has degenerated into the abyss for far too long....there is no magic wand that can correct the lacuna we have found ourselves within 1 year.

The handlers of tinubu are his major problem....the govt didn't come out tactfully enough behind their president and his policies....they aren't speaking the language the people understand..... tinubu's political astuteness is being put to the test hear,I want to believe and wish he will come out of it better and stronger as he did after the end sars debacle against his person and political structure in the APC.

It's a good thing this protest came early and many detractors have shown their hands early and I trust he would know how to deal with them but my worry is sacrificing the interest of the masses on the altar of elitist political interests....he should focus on the masses by
Making food prices more affordable.

Opening the borders.

Create direct employment initiatives for youths in agriculture.

Tackle insecurity head on.

Decisively tackle corruption even if it's just one or two big fishes as Scape goats.

With these the minds of people will be swayed in his favour.

The obi/atiku alliance is practically not workable,the north has shown there hands too early and made it more obvious they seek to control power for their interests and southerners can see this.....GEJ was pushed out with the help of the west and now the east is bein coveted to push out the west,to whose benefit?

The SE region were already gaslighted into not participating in the protest which was really a plus that worked in tinubu's favour,had it been the other way round,the country would have been embroiled in serious crises of catastrophic proportion right now,that was why the north quickly reined in their mob as they were seen as trying to muscle the govt for their own selfish interests which can easily turn against their elites if not nipped quickly.
