If this plan should come to fruition, and Jonathan becomes PDP flag bearer, the kind of rigging you will see in 2027 will not be here. Tinubu will rig anything, it will take God to stop him from having his second term. He’s an experienced politician who is skilled in rigging. The way OBJ rigged for Umaru to become President, Tinubu will rig to stay in power.

The last I checked,it's the Igbos that have always been rolling in hay with the north and playing second fiddle.

History is replete with these facts!!

NCNC/NPC even after awo had already pledged his allegiance to zik but zik went behind and succumbed to the north.

Same Igbos supported the continued domination by the north in the 2nd republic sagari/ekweme in the NPN against even their own zik and awo a fellow southerner.

Same Igbos were in cahoots with the quasi northern military establishment and truncated the 3rd republic by instigating and supporting the annulment of Nigeria's best election to date....ending another Yoruba man's quest in the name of MKO abiola.

Same Igbos supported and entrenched the quasi northern/military establishment metamorphosed into the PDP against core southern interest.

Now another Yoruba is there representing a true neo liberal ideology that can mitigate the hydra headed dichotomy between the north and the south socio politically.....yet the Igbos still wouldn't let the man breath because they feel he is the cause of their problems as they have always blamed the SW for their woes.

GEJ is prehaps Nigeria's most respected ex president, maybe second only to Obasnajo. He's enjoying life, doing international assignments. For a man who was a mere deputy governor, desintiy has been kind to him, and he's truly lived his name.

I doubt he'll want the wahala of running against a ruggered guy like Tinubu, moreso why should he help the North, when they are the ones that kicked him out in 2015.

I think he'll stay out of it, unless a new mega party is formed, and the party presents him with the ticket unopposed.

As against 1st,2nd,3rd and 4th reps!! If you are a good student of politics....the core progressive SW never supported PDP no matter who was president.

2015 was purely politics and the better strategist won......only if you would see it as what it is

Sentiments?!
Isn't it obvious that the North is trying to play a fast one on the South?
If they liked good governance, they would have replaced Buhari with Atiku in 2019. Did they do so? No.
So why replacing Tinubu with Jonathan in 2027?
Why not PO who can rule for two terms?
PO should behave like Mandela do a one term and make way for another igbo by his performance, the way Nigeria is presently structured, power rotates between North and south as it is south has done half of it 2 terms with Tinubu obi should just look for the remaining one term ,that's how he can appeal to the north

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

What progress



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
Re: North Moves To Draft Jonathan Into 2027 Presidential Race - THISDAY by samijet: 7:13pm On Aug 19
For now I still rate Tinubu government low, Tinubu will still win if Obi contest for presidential election again. We don't elect our president on merit in this country. So obedients if you don't want Tinubu reelection tell Obi not to contest. Bitter Truth.

givedemwotowoto:


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
One thing is sure ,Tinubu will fight tooth and nail to win the second term . I won't be surprised if he does all what you just said , and start sending money to people , Nigerians Kuku have short memory, they won't remember all the pins they went through . But except he does that it will be very difficult for him.

The Only reason North is moving mad is the greed of Yorubas that's all

South and middle belt can decide to rotate the president among us till North have sense

But North is so sure they can offer Yorubas Vice and they would betray

That's all nothing more nothing less

South is majority if you call koji, kwara and Benue North then you are joking

In fact Benue, koji kwara, Abuja, plateaus all vote with South

Nassarawa, taraba, 50% of Kaduna, 60% of adamawa vote alone with south

So in what way is North majority

Your accusal of Yoruba of shutting the Middle Belt-South alliance is at best dishonest because that alliance was proposed right from independence by the Yoruba leadership with the offer that Igbos would be the beneficiary but the Igbo leadership scuttled it for a reason which is still difficult for any right thinking person to make any sense from. You can't now suddenly turn around after 64 years to ask for what you rejected and thwarted when it really mattered most.

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.

All these big grammar?na wa.the hunger no reach your side

Greedy northern leaders, continue to blind the eyes of those ignorant followers. One day it will dawn on you that the ignorance you re siwing in them will catch up with you.
As for Good luck Jonathan he knows you northerners better.

North is taking South for granted simply because of yorubas... If Yorubas respected zoning n stick to it North won't even dare

That's the truth any other thing you want to tell yourself is a lie

Was the Jonathan who first disrupted zoning a Yoruba man? Is zoning part of our laws?

That person you quoted was right. They just want a dummy.
Why can't they support Peter Obi who has shown willingness to work?
Maybe they have forgotten how the country protested especially in the northern region against GEJ government.
It seems there are some forces that want the country to remain in an archaic system?
Tinubu has shown that he's no push over and himself is a matter of the 9ja kind of politics.
They should wait till he Finishes he's duration of government.
During GEJ time though things were better, but at the same time there were a lot of wastages and leakages in the country's resources.
We can do better by electing the right person.
Religion and tribalism will keep affecting the decision making of people in electing the right ones.
My best advice is for every region to manage themselves. Let those who like Godfatherism and archaic ways of life should be left to do their things, while others can do what's best for them.
Why is the UK not one country? You think the whites don't know what's best for them?
Due to nobody has the real zeal to make things work because it's nobody's property, it will be difficult for things to work effectively.
Greed and wickedness won't make people think properly.

Bro, I can't quarrel with what you say. Na so.
