Stop embarrassing yourself if you also think your parent money spent on your education was not in vain , you have no moral ground to campaign for any of the present frontlines presidential aspirants because they belong to the same class , let’s argue to learn without propaganda, tell me your candidate and what has he done different or what is he going to do different

It is only a fool that will say what you are saying! Are you not aware that APC is the ruling party? Are you dumb to know that whatever decision they take affects the whole nation? We are talking of peace and unity and all you are interested is winning an election. Nigeria is more than winning an election. You are among the people criticizing Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho, what is different from what these men are seeking for and APC flying of Muslim / Muslim ticket?

My opinion not yours ? Is that the reason you called your father,mother and ancestors fool ?

More of her tweets!

She’s now a transformed lover of Nigeria. No more IPOB agitation. In fact, she want to rescue Nigeria with a Peter Obi presidency. When a Buhari, Tinubu or Osinbajo is president, we must divide Nigeria. If it’s a Peter Obi, then they believe in Nigeria.

Let me ask again, what will IPOB like this lady say when Peter Obi is not declared the winner of the 2023 election? Are we going back to the violent agitations we’ve seen in recent weeks in the SE? Can we really trust people like this lady with the leadership of this country?

Go back to their Biafra agitation crying of marginalization destroy south east

Before the late 1980s, religion was not a defining factor in national politics. Alhaji Shehu Shagari, elected president in 1979, was a Fulani Muslim surrounded by Christians. His No 2, Dr Alex Ekwueme, was an Igbo Christian. The No 3 was Dr Joseph Wayas, a Christian from today’s Cross River state who was senate president. The No 4 was Chief Edwin Ume Ezeoke, a Christian from today’s Anambra state who was Speaker. All the service chiefs were Christians: Lt Gen Alani Akinrinade (army chief, later defence chief); Lt Gen Sanda Jallo (Army Chief); Vice iral Akin Aduwo (Naval Chief); and AVM John Yisa-Doko (Air Chief). The Inspector General of Police was Mr Sunday Adewusi.
In fact, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, the presidential candidate of the Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) in 1979, fielded a Christian-Christian, Southerner-Southerner ticket: Chief Philip Umeadi, from today’s Anambra state, was his running mate. Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, candidate of the Nigeria Peoples Party (NPP), also did a Christian-Christian ticket, pairing with Dr Ishaya Audu from Kaduna state. Although Shagari’s Muslim-Christian pairing won the election with 5.6 million votes, the Christian-Christian tickets of Awolowo and Azikiwe did not do badly, netting 4.9 million and 2.8 million respectively. Awo and Zik got a total of 7.7 million votes. That was the Nigeria I grew up in as a primary school kid.
Military governments were not sold to the religious thing either. When Gen Yakubu Gowon, a Northern Christian, was Head of State, Vice iral Joseph Edet Akinwale Wey, the Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters, was his second-in-comman. The Vice-Chairman of the Federal Executive Council was Awolowo, the Minister of Finance. Effectively, Gowon’s military and civilian deputies were both Christians. Religion was of no consequence.
Maj-Gen Muhammadu Buhari and Brigadier (later Maj-Gen) Babatunde Idiagbon — both Fulanis, both Muslims, both Northerners — were No 1 and No 2 in 1983-85 and I can’t any objections. That was what Nigeria used to be.
Something definitely went wrong thereafter as religious crises erupted under Gen Ibrahim Babangida. When Bashorun MKO Abiola, a Yoruba Muslim, wanted to pick his deputy for the June 12, 1993 presidential election, we had lost our innocence. The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) warned him not to nominate a Muslim, otherwise Christians would not vote for him. They gave him a list of Northern Christians to pick from: Dr Chris Abashiya, Dr Ishaya Audu, Mr Bala Takaya and Mr Paschal Bafyau. These were no political heavy hitters. Abiola achieved the North-South balance by picking Amb Babagana Kingibe, albeit a Northern Muslim. They won nine of the 16 northern states.
The cold calculations in Tinubu’s camp, I should guess, were in favour of a Muslim running mate. And I suppose that these might be their essential assumptions. One, a Muslim-Muslim ticket should not be a problem for the Muslim North where the bulk of the votes are. It should be a major counter-offer to an Atiku presidency since the president and vice-president would be Muslims. Two, it should also not be a problem for the South-West, apart from the cosmopolitan Lagos. Tinubu is the homeboy and religion is not yet a major political factor, although CAN and Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) are working overtime, along with fifth columnists, to poison Yorubaland with bitter bigotry.
Three, their calculation may be that those most likely to be vocally opposed to a Muslim-Muslim ticket are voters and commentators from the South-South, South-Eest and Christian North who do not vote for APC on a normal day. Even if Tinubu were a pastor, APC would still be a no-no for many voters in these constituencies.

What you mean by winning formula?

A combination capable of causing chaos and disrupting peace and tranquility is what you call winning formula?

Its like the bad news coming out of this country daily never tire you. By the time you put a same-religion ticket in Aso rock and you begin to witness unprecedented violence and more religious strifes, you will understand this your perceived winning formula.

For most of you Tinubu ers, you do not care what happens if Tinubu eventually wins. You only want him there.
This was the same sentiment that brought this disaster called Buhari to power. They were all shouting change. And now after seven years, Nigeria has gone several times deeper into financial, economic, insecurity mess.


Vote, campaign and canvass vote for your preferred candidate also allow others to enjoy the same thing, there are several candidates with Christian or Muslim ticket go for them

Asking xtains not to protest is like, beating a child and you are surprise the child is crying ... like seriously.
In as much as they have choice to vote another party they have rights to protest, cos that also democracy.
Democracy is a govt for people(all) not a section of people, you can't convince the world a muslim muslim is a true representation of nigerians, when a section that qualifies as half of the populace are sidelined that is not democracy, maybe we should just call it Agendacrazy.

Agreed with you but apc is not the only political party on the ballot paper , we have options to choose unless we all agreed that only apc is the competent party
Carlosdd: 8:20am On Jul 16, 2022
What are they protesting for ? As if apc is the only party on ballot paper , if you are not comfortable with same faith candidate then go for other party with mix faith candidates, you call it a mistake yet you continue to wail over it every now and then I think the opposition should be happy that ruling party commited a blunder that will make there journey to aso villa very easy , It seems their statement calling Tinubu choice of running mate a mistake is a big lie . Am a Christian and I see nothing wrong in fielding a same faith candidates but if am not comfortable with it I will then go for other party but I don’t think I want to place religion ahead of competency because governance is not about religion but a serious project that we suppose not mix with , tribalism, ethinicity or religion if we really want to get things done right as a nation.

Honestly, since Nigeria returned back to democracy in 1999 we have been using this formula of Muslim-Christian ticket and yet nothing good comes out of it, we have been deceive by political elites and we have been further dragged into more poverty....

Let them continue to deceive themselves, even if Tinubu choose pope from Rome they will criticize and still not vote for him , the only option remain with them is to vote their preferred candidate, they wanted to convince him choose wrong running mate but now that it dawned on them that he made the right choice , they won’t allow us to breath in peace . Vote , campaign and canvass vote for your preferred candidate allow others to enjoy their civic responsibility too . Too much noise

Enough of this wailing, they have made their position known to us with convincing explanation it’s up to the electorate to speak with our vote , perhaps there is something you people knows that we don’t know because I can’t figure it out. If you see it as a blunder on the part of apc I think the opposition should be happy for making there victory easy not the other way round

APC Is An Islamic Political Party

Nigeria is not Islamic country so all well thinking Nigerian must reject the Islamic terrorist Muslim Muslim party, The APC

We don't want a country where our children will be forced to convert to Islam by this wicked terrorists in APC parading themselves as leaders

They've started with Hijab in our schools, they want to stamp there Islamic agenda with Muslim Muslim ticket, we must not allow this to happen to us.

If it is true that Tinubu and Osibanjo have ideas that can solve Nigeria's pyramids of problems, why can't they share them with Buhari since they are one. Why must they allow Nigerians to suffer economically and die gruesomely from for eight years before they will bring out their solutions? I am confused.

We are just hyping these people for no tangible reason. They have nothing good upstairs. Reject Islamic terrorists party, don't vote for APC

Let me be honest with you I will vote APC because I believe the party candidate is the best among the aspirants as of now
