Why are we making it about winning the election when our concern should be someone who will work to move the nation forward? Can we take away our attention from the politicians and focus on the everyday Nigerian?

I have no idea
Educate me please. He paid Tambuwwal?

U don't know Nigerian politics or ure whining me?? How do u think wike also stood a chance and beat out better candidates if it wasn't a money contest?

How did Buhari beat Atiku in 2014 ?

Are you whining yourself?

Was that Ugandan politics?

omonnakoda:
I have no idea
Educate me please. He paid Tambuwwal? By your logic Buhari has more money for beating him in APC primaries

Now I know u are feigning ignorance are apc and pdp or labour same party or using same selection model?

Didn't Atiku even after buhari was already the chosen candidate? Buhari had c which was half of pdp so how can Atiku who only just left pdp sur him who formed the party?

Totally different scenarios.

When atiku left to apc against pdp/Jonathan wike built the pdp and largely financed it. Atiku coming back won the ticket in 2019 and 2023. We all know how.

Emotions and sentiment

I am 100% logical

Did Peter Obi buy LP ticket

You cannot claim Nigerian politics is one kind of way and then start to talk about scenarios

You premise is Atiku defeated Wike because he has money

Why could the same money not help him defeat Buhari

Logically that means Buhari has more money

.
Everything else you have said is illogical and contradictory

U are funny. do u think all scenarios have same level playing field? What kind of dumb questions and comparisons are u making?

Even apc mocked pdp primaries as tickets going to highest bidder.

Peter obi said he left because he doesn't have dollars to compete.

Peter got Labour ticket cos he has the political clouth and movement it wasn't a battle of dollars like pdp.

yarimo:
Bullied or not. ATIKU, kwankwaso, OBI and El RUFAI must all contest for president in 2027 they like it or not

Thought you said kwankwaso is coming to APC? So what changed?
🤣🤣🤣 .....
Una go soon see mother of all alignments that will be too powerful for apc to rig out...
Tinubu is a OTP.....

If truly we are practicing democracy,no one should be denied his or her right to contest any elective post, the right to accept and vote for such person reside with the electorates.

But if I were Alhaji Atiku I will rather cleared my name first from damning allegations made by his former boss OBJ in his book 'Under My Watch' before contesting any election.

SOWUNMI IS WORKING FOR TINUBU

omonnakoda:

The power backing Buhari then had more money and influence in the party than Atiku.

No be today Tinubu don dey teach Atiku lessons for Politics.

Stop the ignorance. Buhari was Tinubu's candidate in 2014. Tinubu outspend and mango the primaries for Buhari.

Do you know that primaries took place in Lagos as against Abuja that it was initially scheduled to take place? That was one of Tinubu's jokers back then.

Tinubu spent the money and made the connections for Buhari in 2014, if not there was no way Buhari would have won the primaries.

and this are the sycophant decieving Atiku, Why is sowunmi himself not contesting since the constitution Everybody right

By now Atiku should be really ashamed of himself as an elder state politician, you can unite the party and is choices of vice in the last two elections, Obi, okowa as shown Atiku lacks visionary

Atiku is the main reason Pdp is torn apart, even Tinubu despite owning his party denied himself ticket, he made sacrifices b4 2023

Atiku never understands power play is not all about trial, its all about timing and merging with the right forces not sycophants he surrounds himself with

"fairness" supersede "Right", even at the Atm stand if you try twice and no dispense you step aside for others to try .. Atiku must sit down n ask himself whats " Fair"

Bullied or not. ATIKU, kwankwaso, OBI and El RUFAI must all contest for president in 2027 they like it or not

Atiku will be 81yrs old in 2027

DMCY:
If he’s not ready to respect himself and not contest then I guess he has to be bullied! Haba! Is he the only one? Let him make way for others to contest too nau!
He has tried his best every election cycle and he fails woefully every time, moreover it’s the south turn of 8yrs. North should lowkey wait their turn and stop incit!ng what’s not 😏.

But you weren't sounding like this 2011 and 2015 when it was the turn of the north after Obasanjo. The equation had been disarrayed since then.

If Atiku contest presidency today, he will not get cumulatively more than 10,000 votes from the whole of southern Nigeria.

Stop deceiving him Chief Sowunmi he should throw his weight behind Obi.

DMerciful:
Sowunmi is working for Tinubu

Something is wrong with the guy ,he is not stable, you can't take anything he says seriously, because next time he is going to change
He enjoys going from one broadcast station to another saying nonsense

slimfit1:
His time has gone, we didn't see anything he did to get this democracy. He was a coward during Abacha's regime, did nothing to fight for democracy Abacha has used your time go and look after your children. Benue killing not a single word from him.

Unlike ebilokan who used NADECO as a cover for his drug dealing crimes

Is this the tribalism or racism rotation that produced Sunak and Kemi in Britain as well as Obama in America along with their non-white lawmakers?

Is the absence of this tribalism WHAT makes them forever productive and prosperous to attract us there in japa frenzy bragging about our diaspora status of making the neocolonial countries even better than ours in government services, amenities and utilities?

edet19892015:
Unless you understand your role in society, you can never make any meaningful contribution.

According to the Greeks, they are three types of people on Earth,
1. The idiots,
2. The tribesmen, and
3. The citizens.

Studies show only 10% of Africans are citizens.
The remaining 90% are either tribesmen or idiots.

1. When the Greeks used the word "Idiot", they did not use it as a curse word.
Idiots are people who just don’t care.
If they sit for exams, they will cheat.
If they are in government they will steal.

An idiot does not care at all, if he eats bananas he throws the peels anywhere instead of putting them in a trash bin.

IDIOTS won't attend monthly neighborhood meetings. They won't pay security dues. They won't contribute to community development. Even when they see or know about something that will harm others in the community they won't report it. When they see/know/have something that will benefit their community they won't share.

In fact, Idiots don't care to for or vote in an election, yet they complain the most. If they to vote, IDIOTS will sell their votes for peanuts.

According to the Greeks, some societies have more idiots than tribesmen and citizens.

2. The next set of people are "Tribesmen", these are people that look at everything from the point of view of their tribe.

These are people that believe in you only if you are part of their tribe.
It can be terrible to have a tribesman as a leader, he will alienate the rest.

When the Greeks talk about tribes, it’s not just about ethnicity, they also consider religion, gang hip, group hip, party hip and even cult hip as a tribe.

A great percentage of Africans are tribesmen, because they view everything from the point of view of their tribes. They trust only their tribesmen

3. The last group are "Citizens".
These are people who like to do things the right way.
They will respect traffic light rules even if no one is watching them.

They drive within speed limits.
They respect the laws, and won’t cheat in exams.
In government, they won’t steal.
They are comionate and give to others to promote their well-being.

Citizens often promote projects that benefit everyone.
The Greeks called this group "The Citizens".

Some countries have more citizens than tribesmen and idiots, others have so many idiots.

A tribesman can become a citizen through orientation.
And an idiot can become a citizen by training and constant enforcement of the law.

But things fall apart if you elect an idiot or tribesman to lead you if he has not been reformed.

Where do you belong? Are you an idiot, a tribesman or a citizen? Reflect on your life.
Reflect about your immediate community, city, state and nation.

How did Buhari beat Atiku in 2014 ?

Are you whining yourself?

Was that Ugandan politics?

Always speak from the abundance of knowledge, and not fdrom a lack thereof.

scribble:
The blogosphere was inundated with reports of the excessive sharing of dollars at the All Progressives Congress which took place during the latter part of last week.

One APC er and Special Adviser to Osun Governor on Environment, BolaIlori had blown the scandal open after he saw the beginning stages of the dollarization in action.

He took to his Facebook page and scribbled, “Crazy things are happening here!!! Some of these cannot represent the change Nigeria is yearning for. Excessive dollarization by one of the aspirants to is to say the least obscene. I have been involved in political process for decades now, I have never witnessed this volume of raw dollarization of party primaries. I only read about this kind of things in PDP primaries. A question been asked by conscientious delegates is that whoever can be giving out between $2000 to $5000 to…delegates certainly does not represent the kind of change Nigerians want…those who contributed to the pauperization of Nigeria now revel in dollarization… majority of Ondo delegates are still standing with Buhari but have been reduced from 85% to 70% within 24 hours…the remaining has gone with dollars ooo.!!!!!”

One has to wonder how Buhari was able to win the primaries in this era of stomach infrastructure where dollars are like the Biblical manna that God sent down from heaven to nourish the Israelites as they made their way to the promised land.

Sources close to the APC with knowledge of the way the Primaries unfolded have revealed that it was Rivers State Governor, A[b]maechi who flew back to Rivers State and returned to Lagos on Thursday morning with enough dollars to make Benjamin Franklin blush.[/b]

It has been revealed that Atiku offered the delegates $5000 each, but Amaechi doubled it to $10000 a pop. Thus turning the tables in favour of General Buhari.

Since his adventure into the APC, Amaechi has gone out of his way to prove himself a party loyalist, always the first to shoki or azonto at the many events the APC holds, which he himself is usually the chief sponsor.

According to party insiders, Amaechi has overtaken Tinubu as the major financier of the party. One does not need to wonder why he is always at President Jonathan’s throat over misappropriated oil wells or other such business. Anything that diminishes from the State’s coffers will have a ripple effect on his funding budget for the APC.

Atiku is like Arsenal FC, luck is not by his side. He should s PO

I'm sure the new committee formed by pdp outside Atiku will be destabilise by Atiku loyalist and desperate gang.

Let's wait and see how it goes...

The druggie who wasn't a coward during abacha regime is he not worse than abacha?
At least during abacha regime, people could eat 3 times a day comfortably.
On the issue of Benue killings, is atiku the commander in chief? Since the killings started, no words or action from the druggie with an empty brain you have as a president.

I was not talking to you.
The context of our conversation was whether Atiku had more money than Wike

Is that your position? Are you saying Atiku won because he spent more money than Wike?

yarimo:
Bullied or not. ATIKU, kwankwaso, OBI and El RUFAI must all contest for president in 2027 they like it or not

so that they can have split vote and make things easy for APC right?

It's time for the presidency to Return to SS/SE I am with peter obi.


Obi should team with wike, strike a deal with wike.

Take kwankwanso as running mate.

But you weren't sounding like this 2011 and 2015 when it was the turn of the north after Obasanjo. The equation had been disarrayed since then.

I guess we were well acquainted during those period for you to know my stand then, right?
Moreover, after obasanjo didn’t the power shift back to north(Yaradua)?? If not for the untimely death of that good man, God rest his soul. After yaradua didnt Gej win?

This is one of the reasons Nigeria might not get better... We put emotions and self-interest on something that doesn't concern us directly.

Are you a card-carrying member of PDP? Are you going to vote on convention day? Do you have any money to convince him to step down? Have you people, for once, read the constitution and want it to work, or do you just want the parts that favour you to work?


Atiku has every right to contest until his last breath as far as Nigerian politics is concerned, and you can only choose not to vote for him according to your right, but asking him not to contest is very wrong. This is the same thing that happened to Tinubu in 2023 when he was addressing his party and soliciting votes from APC delegates using the term EMILOKAN. Everyone of you took it personally and nearly killed the man for the statement... He's not wrong for saying he's the next in his party.

Saying I am funny is a clear way of itting you have lost the argument. Saying a question is dumb is evidence of frustration
I did not say your ma ma is funny. Not because I cannot or because your mouth is bigger than mine but because I know I have logical and superior argument
You laid down the premise and cannot shift the goalposts talking about scenarios
You claimed Wike LOOTED money
You also claimed or implied Atiku won because of money and so Outspent Wike

Are you asking us to believe that. In 2022 The same Atiku that ran away to Dubai and left Wike to carry the party spent more than WIke

The same Wike who funded several PDP governors campaign and carried PDP according to him

Did Atiku pay Tambuwwal I asked you once and ask again

Did he pay Tambuwwal

Did he pay Tambuwwal more that what Wike donated to Sokoto state. We saw that after the fire incident

Why did Tambuwwal betray WIke? How much was he paid
The obvious reality is Atiku defeated Wike not because he has money but because of where they both come from

If Wike had come from Kano or Katsina with that kind of money he would have wiped the floor with Atiku
