Will The South-west Listen To Tinubu In 2019? by nairavsdollars(f): 9:26pm On Feb 27, 2018
Is the South-West still under the control of Bola Tinubu? Does he still possess the kind of influence he had in the days of AC and ACN? If Tinubu pulls out of APC today and asked the South-West to vote for another candidate, will they listen to him again like they did in 2019?

One thing is certain: With the tenure extension for Oyegun today, Tinubu has lost out finally in the party

Asiwaju is a sorry case.
He would pay dearly for being an asslicker
the so called jagaban has really been trashed. his relevance in the south west has vanished, he has been defeated in ondo, ekiti, etc. He would also lose lagos, this he knows very well...

The question isn't whether the SW will "listen to Tinubu": the question is whether the PDP - or any other party - will provide a strong, credible challenger to Buhari, who is currently looking set to coast to an easy re-election victory despite his terrible record over the last 3 years.

None of the probable PDP candidates seems likely to give Buhari a serious challenge, and the party's leadership doesn't look interested in finding new blood with fresh ideas, so the likeliest scenario is that some used-up old crook like Atiku will gain the PDP nomination in the name of "zoning", at which point it's quite likely that the few SW voters who bother to even turn out in 2019 will give most of their votes to the terrible Buhari, simply because the alternative looks even worse.

Ask her, what is eboe status today in the Nigeria political equation, she will go dumb..

They can never forgive Tinubu, because he was instrumental in the defeat of their IB, hero.

I doubt Buhari stands a chance of winning the next election.

First, the "Sai Baba" fervour that brought Buhari in is no longer as strong as it was before. It may even be gone forever. The fervour at which Northerners voted for him was the belief that he was the Incorruptible Messiah that will sweep Nigeria clean of corruption and herald in era of economic prosperity. Many have seen no economic prosperity and a Fulani guy in my compound who was a core Buharist now said that all these rulers forget the common man when they get there. It is "Kai Baba" for him. His words speak for millions of core Northerners. The fervour was what brought him in and that has gone.

He should forget the South West, He can only get there if Tinubu campaigns for him heavily. The Yoruba's are swing voters has noticed by the 2011 presidential elections where Yorubas voted enmasse for Jonathan despite Tinubu urging them to vote for Ribadu. Ribadu only won in Osun state where Aregbesola's then popularity won the day.

The Yorubas deserted Jonathan due to poor performance and fell under the Buhari spell which promised ending corruption, enthroning discipline and ushering economic prosperity. They too are disillusioned.

He should forget the Middle Belt. They aren't keen on anything that reminds that of deadly pastoralists and their coincidental impunity (which Buhari would never support but was too slow to take concrete action) which seemed to commence when their tribesman assumed power

The East and South South will never, ever, ever vote for Buhari.

Your chief subconscious worry seems to be the power bestowed on the political class due to incumbency.

Anyway, he will first need to win the primaries in his party. He had massive support in the past but is the support really there today? Bubu's incompetence has dealt a massive blow to his party and they are now seen in that incompetency light. And worse, his party fiddled while the fire burnt.

He will also need massive finance to win the primaries and the election and who will deploy his or her resources today to assist him?

I might be going to far with this but I suspect Dangote and perhaps some in the rather passive Organised Private Sector may begin to be play a more active role in politics though underground.

A Buhari win for instance is bound to hurt the fortune of his oil refinery as he won't be ready to sell petrol at subsidised prices. I suspect that is why there has been a shift in the commissioning of the refinery to 2019 when he might be gone. The damage done to the economy with Buhari's capital controls in first 2 years as probably been unprecedented in so little time.

Also, Atiku and perhaps Lamido may give Buhari a serious challenge. People may be more interested in Atiku's capable business acumen over his presumed corrupt status. Nigerians now seem to value competence over corruption seeing the fight against corruption as exemplified by Buhari as hubris. Remember that the Naira has lost almost half its value under Buhari against his promised $1 to N1. Yes, bring back our corruption

Simply focusing heavily on Buhari's campaign promises and its' blatant failures is enough to ruin any chances of him winning.

During the 2015 election, the "Change" mantra meant a change in the minds of people from corruption and seeming incompetence of the PDP era and Jonathan rule. This was a clever and it dealt a devastating blow to PDP and especially Jonathan.

Same tactics may work in 2019 if employed by the opposition
