Why do you think igbos politicians are not big on using tribal sentiments in politics? Because they know it won't work or work as effectively as in SW and North

Northerners need to work on their mind and liberate themselves

Have SE liberated themselves?

cheesy



Mega-Super Loss dey wait all of una

GEJ no even get the strength to dey drag this kin thing again. He is mentally tired to do this. Same North that betrayed him after Yaradua's death, now they wanna use him like a disposable tool again. He should be smarter than this



As for this sectional North, Its all wild imaginations till they get beaten in their own game again

A stamp from Sultan and Emir Sanusi would sway the whole almajiri vote behind APC again.

In a delicate period like this, we need a strong man and not some weakling that was manipulated all through by Stella Oduah,NOI and Diezani


There are two significant lessons for Nigerians to learn from the socio-economic and political situation of the past 24 months.

Firstly, the widespread "Hunger Protests" that swept through the nation, particularly affecting regions in the North and South West, clearly demonstrate that the impact of hunger and starvation, exacerbated by bad leadership and governance precipitates knows no tribe or racial prejudice.
It is a natural phenomenon that disrupts and affects everyone indiscriminately, irrespective of their religion, tribe, or political affiliations.

Secondly, endorsing a candidate during elections solely based on tribal, religious, or ethnic affiliations is akin to committing political suicide, as evidenced by the case of Tinubu Government, which brings no positive outcomes and instead leads to detrimental consequences.
An ill-wind that blows no good.

While I doubt that GEJ will run again as I prefer we try PO, if GEJ decides to run, his presidency will achieve 2 things:

1. End Atiku’s presidential bid finally
2. End the calamity of 2015 when we put power into the hands of greedy, corrupt, tribal bigots who destroyed all the progress made over the years, for selfish gain

If GEJ joins the 2027 race, then I’ll ask PO to drop his political ambition. He can work with GEJ to help strengthen democracy for the next election

Other than that, it’s PO all the way
If gej runs ,Atiku will automatically support him once all his northern brothers support gej . Hejnis a good candidate for the north , he will only use one term of office which plays to the advantage of the north as power will rotate back to the north after 4;years. Peter Obi on the other hand will still contest but it will be difficult for him ,because even his base in the south east will be divided between the three political giants ,BAT,,GEJ AND OBI.
The same is likely to be the same with the south west , so the deciding factor will again be the north . With the way thing are going I don't think Tinubu will get the kind of support he got in the last elections

Throwback:


What was the MiddleBelt given to choose Buhari over Jonathan in 2015?

Or that one is not a betrayal in the Igbo dictionary?

Even you claimed that you supported and voted for Buhari in 2015, so you betrayed the South also?

Make it make sense to those who do not know the Igbo meaning of betrayal.
please stop mentioning igbo, we igbos love Hausas pass some people don't mind the guy bros. nothing join igbos and Yorubas never
Re: North Moves To Draft Jonathan Into 2027 Presidential Race - THISDAY by Greattha: 5:01pm On Aug 19
They must be mad.

They want GEJ who they perceive as weak.

Is he a Saint all of a sudden?

GEJ would be an idiot of the century to take the offer

You lie in your bed the way you make it.

Of course, they want a dummy that they can push around. Tinubu has shown them pepper.

This is good news for we the BATists. So the small votes that Bitter Hero Beer Obituary got the other time will be shared with Goatluck Jonathan in 2031. Definitely, it is the god of Politics Emilokan JAGABAN that is sponsoring this move.

Come, can I ask you a question. Are you buying things cheaper than you bought them at the beginning of last year?

Re: North Moves To Draft Jonathan Into 2027 Presidential Race - THISDAY by aylipple: 5:02pm On Aug 19
Lol. If this report was meant to be a PR stunt or testing of the murky political waters a second time by GEJ’s supporters, they did a rather poor job of it.

The underlying message in this report is that fPGEJ can be controlled (PBAT, who they thought they would “own” isn’t kowtowing to the North) by the northern political elite; a GEJ government benefits the north (a PBAT admin doesn’t benefit the north especially, contrary to their expectations), the same northerners who were there, quiet & uninterested in getting fPMB to sustain the Almajiri schools built by GEJ in the north, don’t want to own up to their own systemic failures but are looking for a “cleaner” in GEJ to help them clean the mess they created! Finally, what this report didn’t say but is very obvious is that the northern elite while preferring power to supposedly remain in the South for another 4yrs after PBAT’s first term, they’re more comfortable with it shifting to the South-south rather than the Southeastern part: question is why? In other words, the northern elite cannot trust an Igbo man with power! If not, instead of going back to the stone (GEJ) they rejected if they’re truly dissatisfied with a PBAT government, they would’ve built consensus around someone like PO who against all odds, came 3rd in a hotly contested election despite contesting on the platform of a political party without “structure” & without the support of power brokers.

I hope fPGEJ can see through their hypocrisy & call their bluff but if he doesn’t, it means PO may not contest in 2027 & risk incurring the eternal wrath of his “Obidient” mob or contest against his former leader (seeing his desperation, he’ll run even if it means running against GEJ) & both of them fighting over who takes 2nd & 3rd position in the race.

Re: North Moves To Draft Jonathan Into 2027 Presidential Race - THISDAY by francotunsco: 5:03pm On Aug 19
Though Jonathan won't run again as president. That is given. But, if he ever becomes Nigeria's president again, only a fool will expect him to repeat the same style of leadership he led in his last chance at the presidency. He definitely regretted many actions he did and will only return to undo some of them.

Re: North Moves To Draft Jonathan Into 2027 Presidential Race - THISDAY by Vadese1: 5:06pm On Aug 19
Look at this one. Tinubu online employees. Your idea of strong leaders is someone who by his policy will bring hardships to the citizens . If you talk of mental fitness, I wonder how your shaking shaking and brain death Tinubu will be stronger than Jonathan.
Some of you need to be brought to the village square and flogs. If Jonathan agree to run which some of us are praying for, just know that your Tinubu will not bother to seek for second term.
Tinubu is a calamity

PO contesting with GEJ means the SE will be divided which is an advantage for Tinubu

Though people think Tinubu can’t win the election, he has power of incumbency and propaganda machinery

He can spin up propaganda showing that his so called policies are beginning to bear fruits, he can borrow WB loan and start sending cash transfers and things like TraderMoni. He has powers.

You think many Nigerians won’t fall for it? So why are controversial pastors still having fully filled venues? If people were paid to come and stop protests when they themselves are facing hardship, then anything can happen

We can’t have a divided SS/SE/MB
Re: North Moves To Draft Jonathan Into 2027 Presidential Race - THISDAY by Vadese1: 5:11pm On Aug 19
My thoughts as well. I will vote obi any day and any time, but if Jonathan decides to run, I will also suggest our beloved obi step down so that Jonathan can chase away this calamity call Tinubu.

As in. I've been saying this. Southern Nigeria is just too full of educated e-diots. Always making North unduly arrogant.
Re: North Moves To Draft Jonathan Into 2027 Presidential Race - THISDAY by Vadese1: 5:15pm On Aug 19
Where do you get this calculation from. Anyway if Jonathan decides to run which almost every one is praying for , I bet you Our beloved Peter Obi will not run. Obi is Jonathan boy. Obi will work with Jonathan to chase out that calamity president call Tinubu


angelboy01:
APC will still win it and I will tell you why, Obi has his own cult group already. If the North decides to field Jonathan it will still look like the case of Atiku at the end. So the votes will still be divided and at the end of the day Jagaban will win it. It's just the pure truth and not like I'm an APC supporter.

Gej should sign agreement with them for them to support the implementation of his 2014 confab report before accepting the offer that's the only way his coming back will make sense and favour the entire southern region.

So,they are the one to choose the choice of leader for the South.

This is a direct ploy by those who don't mean well for the country and you should reject it from the get go.....the north seeks to divide the south to their advantage also to diminish PO's popularity and stop the south from gaining an extra 8 years through the back door.

If the north should support anyone it should be PO if truly they have the interest of Nigeria at heart.

Well, their aim is divide and rule. If they are sincere, let them rest all their fulani aspirants. They are obviously after power for evil ends.
