Be it Osinbajo, Oshiomole or Amaechi, it's a sure success.

Congrats to you GMB for sticking with someone from the SW where the election will be decided.

In 2011, Buhari did not have the support of Tinubu, Fashola and all other APC politicians which he now enjoys. I am very sure that Osinbajo was nominated by Tinubu after Buhari rejected him for the slot. So, Tinubu and the rest APC governors will surely deliver the votes.

Going SS would have been much more difficult to sell to the Yorubas because the ticket does not guarantee them the presidency even in the next eight years especially when they have been marginalized by GEJ for the past six years. So, how do you convince them to troop out on election day?

Besides, nothing you can give the SS/SE now, not even the presidential slot, that will make them vote against "their son".

Once the election is won, Amaechi and other SS's APC guys will have their own dues?

An Amaechi as the Petroleum Minister won't be a bad idea for example

All in all, I see this choice as the best option to defeat PDP.

PDP/GEJ now be like " ... shitting in their pants"
This guy just dey analyze what you don't know. Who told u that GEJ is afraid to confront GMB

They claimed he is a Religious fanatics, yet he

be his running mate in 2011. Now he has pick
intelligent Professor Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) as
running mate, a well respected PASTOR of
Redeem Christian Church of God. It is a high
time Nigerians should understand that PDP
deliberately capitalised on the gullibility of
Nigerians to paint him black. This they did in
order to keep on looting the treasury and ensure
that he never gets the opportunity to stop all
their atrocities How many Nigerians would hold
the appointment of government, minister of
petroleum, PTF chairman and head of state yet
don’t own a house in Abuja and has NO foreign
account?? Vote Competency, Commitment and
Good Character. #VoteBUHARI /Osinbajo in 2015.
# Vote APC. A Combo of INTEGRITY and
INTELLIGENT for a Better and Greater Nigeria

Add this,
APC! Change Jonathan!

My dear dont believe most of those PDP propaganda that they spread online. They are just doing those things to mal the chracter of the General. Am acute christian from the same region with mr President but am rooting for Buhari because i no what he stand for and what he can achieve for Nigeria if given the opportunity to serve. So dont let anybody deceive you. If Buhari is so guilty of those allegations what now stop the PDP government from charging him to court after he has challenge them to show up evidence?

You sound like a sincere person who is tired of the status quo like most nigerians but You see, I am not even saying you should vote PDP, I don't even like PDP. But I posit that APC under Buhari is NOT the answer. If you read my earlier comments you will see valid reasons why I have this opinion.
PDP has Their propaganda, APC has their propaganda. However, there is propaganda and there are Facts.

Do you realize that the Moslem north has ruled this country for most of its existence and has destroyed it with just 3 weapons tribalism, religious bigotry and Nepotism.

You asked, "If Buhari is so guilty of those allegations what now stop the PDP government from charging him to court after he has challenge them to show up evidence?"
I don't knw which allegation you mean. The PDP cannot take him to court for loving and vehemently supporting a sharia law governed Islamic Nigeria.
I guess you are talking about his former CPC supporters rioting and murdering INEC and NYSC members. In that case my answer is the lack of EVIDENCE and our poor justice system. I don't even believe that buhari would have approved of his supporters doing those things.

But you must remember this, on a crime scene, a Lack of evidence does mean a crime was not committed.

Re: Buhari Has Announced Professor Yemi Osinbajo As Running Mate [Confirmed] by coldFLARES1(m): 7:05pm On Dec 17, 2014
[quote author=arsetalks post=28959540] You are wrong there. There is no how you can convince those in the SS and SE to vote against GEJ enmass. No bigotry but the electorate in those regions have their minds made up. They see GEJ as one of their own even if he is not doing anything for them.

U nailed it there! I'm Deltan fully loaded for Buhari, however while doing some rounds of beer with my friend from Bayelsa last night he agreed our brother doesn't deserve to continue but he'll nonetheless vote him.
An analysis of the results of the 2011 presidendential elections shows that PDP won all states in the SS and SE with at least 90 percent of registered voters 'participating'. That is where I get uncomfortable knowing that realistically, not more than 60 percent of registered voters took part in the polls. I voted in PH and saw how Amaechi gave PDP/GEJ close to 2m votes representing about 95 percent of registered voters.
Personally, making a Niger Deltan, however popular, a running mate won't be the master stroke because the majority of my people will still vote their non-performing brother. Rather, it has to be ensured that if voter turnout in areas of strength of the PDP is not less than 90 percent, then APC should equally replicate such frauds in the areas where they have strength.
Meantime, those who genuinely wish change should get their PVCs ready and make all sacrifices necessary to express the wish for change.
I wish APC luck on the campaigns and success on the elections. I'm already boarded!
Re: Buhari Has Announced Professor Yemi Osinbajo As Running Mate [Confirmed] by whytfaz(m): 7:09pm On Dec 17, 2014
Osibanjo maybe largely unknown, but isn't it what mainstream Nigerians have been clamouring for? A fresh breath away from all these recycled politicians. We cannot eat our cake and have it. If Buhari had chosen Amaechi, Oshimoye, Fashola, some people will still pose their objections to the decision.

So much noise about the choice of Prof. Osinbajo. Is he the one running for President? I wonder if Namadi Sambo will win the North-West for GEJ? He couldn't even win in his constituency in 2011. Osinbajo is more likely to poll more votes for Buhari than Sambo can for Mr. President, so what's the fuss.

The race is between GEJ and GMB abeg. Enough of all this hyperventilating over the choice of Osinbajo.
