In a report published by the Sun, a public affairs analyst, Dr. Adetokunbo Pearse, the convener of Reset Lagos, highlighted President Tinubu’s strategic efforts to win over 12 northern states in the most recent elections, attributing his success in the region to politicalq astuteness rather than tribal loyalty. With the exception of the South-West, where he was able to win four of the six states, he claimed that Tinubu’s support was far lower in the southern regions.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
On the other hand, he said Peter Obi received overwhelming support from his own tribe, as evidenced by his electoral performance.
Pearse further argued that Nigerians are well aware of the government’s poor performance and questioned the legitimacy of Tinubu’s victory, considering that he was declared the winner with only 31% of the votes counted.
He said, “Was it not the permutations of Tinubu that helped him to get the 12 states in the north? Did that have anything to do with tribe? Tinubu used some political acumen to get those states in the north. The south was not safe for him. He didn’t get much in the south, except South-West. Out of the six states in the South West, he got four. The only person that got from his tribe totally is Obi.
Do you think that Nigerians are not aware of the poor performance of the government? Do you think that Nigerians don’t know that they didn’t vote for Tinubu considering that only about 31 per cent of the votes came in before he was declared winner. Don’t blame Nigerians for anything; they didn’t vote for him.”CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
