How Wike And Tinubu Exposed North Vulnerability In Politics (8698 Views)
(1) Go Down)
Biodun556(m): 12:32pm On May 01 |
Our popular beliefs in Nigerian politics is that any presidential candidate not ed by core norths ( north east and north west) will never win presidential election in Nigeria. But 2023 election proved us wrong. Both Tinubu and Wike insisted on Southern presidential candidate and they won absolutely. This is what brought Wike and Tinubu together. The northern politicians in APC didn't Tinubu in primary election. To everybody amazement, he won even without Buhari's . Another blow from Wike is that of Atiku, a high profile northern political elite and politician. Wike insisted that Atiku is a northerner, therefore he shouldn't stand as PDP presidential flag bearer after Buhari 8 years in office. Atiku refused, Wike held on to his scrotum and he fell yakata. These two scenarios brought Wike and Tinubu together. The two Southern warriors The success of Tinubu and Wike is what is driving many governors from the south into APC before any other thing. It is now proven that no region not even two can single handedly make anybody Nigerian president. The six geo political zones have almost equal political relevance. 44 Likes 6 Shares |

North shame on you. You go dey form alliance with a Yoruba man just to spite an igbo man You have been used and dumped. Yorubas will be the greatest undoing of the north. You see that northern holds on Nigeria, Yorubas are out to cut it off and deflate that egos of yours. Yorubas will make sure that your influence and powers in Nigeria are reduced to nothing. INEC chairman will come from the south south, let me see how north will decide the winner of the 2027 general election 18 Likes 3 Shares |

Biodun556: OP, it isn't even as simple as you write. It is evolution, that no one can stop, dealing with the North. Empires fall, intolerant dictators (something the North ca be described as politically) and imperialists (another fitting alias for North) will eventually be defeated. Even Nigerians, all focused on 2027 and the Presidential system, are fooling themselves because they are not seeing what is obvious. This is the beginning of the end for the North's born-to-rule arrogance and the end of 'One Nigeria' garbage, we all fool ourselves with, to pave the way for the evolutionarily unaviodable regional autonomy. Regional autonomy , whether Nigerians want it ot not, will become our norm soon same as mobile phones, some resisted for a while, has now been adopted by all human beings. This is not about Wike and Tinubu per se. North was always going to be resisted in the end because the North will forever be uncompromising and unreasonable demanding power the leaders of the region( from Arewa to their political, religious and cultural leaders) believe belong to them and they just 'lend' to the rest of us from time to time. Statement, threats and insistence ,such shown below,is uniting critical-thinking Southern leaders. They must always tell GEJ, Tinubu and all Southern President What they can do or not do either as Preisdent while they behave as they please in power. https://nairaland.sitesunblocked.org/8413765/north-decide-winner-2027-presidential People should the talk of Wike after Atiku had gained the PDP ticket Wike felt Atiku had no right contesting after 8 straight years of Fulani rule under Buhari. I.e "I cannot be second class in my own Country". We all how vehemently Makinde, Fayose, Bode George etal robustly resisted what they felt was Fulani imperialism their PDP. Go figure OP. 25 Likes 2 Shares |

The north should just do everything in their capacity to not let Tinubu win the second tenure Otherwise he's ready to show them shege if he should win Funniest part Tinubu maybe the last president of Nigeria, because I am not sure this man is ready to release power, even after his 8years tenure he's not going to handover the power over to North especially to the Fulani The only thing I enjoyed about Tinubu presidency is the fact that he's telling the northern that Nigeria didn't belongs to them alone 40 Likes 4 Shares |

Olachase: I hear/read this many times but it is erroneous. Tinubu does not want to show North or any other region "shege". He wants to do what is in the best interest of the Country Nigeria and not the Northern region of Nigeria. If those two clash then, for a worthy President, Nigeria wins. For the avoidance of doubt, for me, ordinary Northerners are not the problem of the North let alone Nigeria as as a Country. Northern leaders, at all levels, are. 23 Likes 3 Shares |

Educationalserv:NOT true with all due respect! The game changed for all Northerners when Tinubu "singlehandedly" and "openly" challenged Buhari because most of them including Buhari were "antagonistic" towards Tinubu and his mandate but they failed woefully. That was what made most of them queue behind Tinubu after he won the presidential primary. 15 Likes 3 Shares |

Your postulation might not be entirely true. The sentiment in the north and the south was that power must return to the south. It was Buhari and a few cabals that didn't want Tinubu. Elrufai and 10 other northern governors defied Buhari Those 11 governors transversed the North speaking to emirs and opinion leaders on why power has to go back to the south. If not, they risk sowing a seed that will come back to bite. There was a video where Elrufai hosted Kaduna delegates in Kaduna government house and they were told to vote Tinubu. To now undermine those obvious moves made by certain elements is you distancing yourself from truth. Wike wanted to be PDP presidential candidate. When he lost. His hatred for PDP intensified. he saw that a part of the North was already with Tinubu. He did his permutations and pandered towards Tinubu. Clever move if call it that but hey. Tinubu did not emerge because Wike and Tinubu did anything extra ordinary. Don't forget the margin Tinubu won with. If 2 states in the North turned their back on him, it would have been game over 17 Likes 1 Share |

Educationalserv:Tell me any other person who can do that?. Tinubu publicly said without him, Buhari can never be President, that Buhari failed three times and cried on TV before he went to him and told him he would win the next election. Then Tinubu declared "it is my turn". Tell me any candidate who can do that to a sitting President and get away with it?. After that declaration, all the talks about anointing a candidate was thrown out and a rule was made that all candidates should contest on a level playing field. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

All these talk of south/north politics only benefits the politicians and never the masses and Nigerians are wiser now. Tulumbu is otp, that you can take to the bank... 5 Likes |

What Tinubu said concerning Masari was that he "almost gave up" ........NOT that he gave up and I feel that remark by Tinubu was just a "political statement" to give some of them a "sense of belonging"!

Biodun556:The North ed tinubu because he is a southerner and it is the turn of the south. Same thing might play out in 2027 if the pdp did not present a good southern candidate who has the potential to win. If there is no formidable candidate from the south, they will have to go with tinubu not because they like him but because it is more like a game. 5 Likes 1 Share |

When it's 2031, a Northerner will occupy the seat. 2027 belongs to the South. Any Southerner is free to contest, but you will have to fight Tinubu to get it. Any Northern candidate will lose.

Biodun556: Lol. The North made Tinubu president in 2023. He got 5.6m votes from the North while losing the South to Obi. Tinubu only won 4 out of 6 states in the Southwest and only Rivers state in the Southsouth. In contrast, Obi won 9 states in the South. Obi will still best Tinubu in the South in 2027, irrespective of all the governors decamping to APC. Southern votes will be split with Obi having a slight advantage over Tinubu. Tinubu is clearly desperate and the North will still decide who wins the election in 2027. The North is currently adopting strategic silence but it will be become clearer soon. There will be no 5.6m votes waiting for Tinubu this time. He knows it, which is why he's employing every crude tactics known in the books, from cajoling Fubara to decamp via SOE and using EFCC and Co to threaten and blackmail the likes of Okowa. Even Ibori and others are now being courted and promised heaven and earth. Tinubu is desperate! 8 Likes 2 Shares |

AMINDA:If you talking about North, better emphasize the part of the north you're talking about. Because Tinubu only won the NW by slim margin, while Atiku won the NE. The North Central is not a core north and Tinubu won NC by a significant margin better than that of NW. And I think you know that NC are already in of Tinubu's reelection. Then coming to the South, Tinubu won the SW by a large margin enough to cancel out the votes Obi got in SE. The votes Tinubu got in the SS added to the SW neutralized both Obi's votes and the absymal votes of Atiku in the South. So, Tinubu won the SW, NC and NW. So, how did the North make him President?. Because we know you're talking about the core north. And the only core north he won was the NW with a slim margin of about 300,000 from Atiku. Compared to how the North voted massively for Buhari winning both NW and NE. Stop deceiving yourselves. 8 Likes 1 Share |

You sit in makoko and be writing rubbish. Go check the last election and see if SE and SS voted for your failed SW president. The SW vote didn't make him president. The votes from North was used to rig him into becoming the president. In 2027 we will not still vote him in SS and SE. Let all the governors in SS and SE APc.It makes no difference. We are not transport union illiterate workers. We are sophisticated. The governors don't decide who we vote in 2027.We vote based on individual merit. If you think after sharing poverty,hunger,corruption and insecurity that we will vote you because you are in apc.You will learn the hard way.And besides SW president has never been southern president. 18 Likes 2 Shares |
