A kachikwu will not be a bad idea, especially should another yar adua episode happened again [God forbid sha]. It will make common sense to give an igbo man a chance and a Kachikwu candidacy will not be a bad idea especially to the SW. Obj from the SW was President for 8 years and since a SS man GEJ has been a given a chance, I think its only fair the igbos to have their turn too

Kachikwu is from Delta.

BTW, I don't give a Fxck about where folks are from though.

MUST THE PRESIDENT BE FROM THE NORTH?

EazyMoh:
1. Sen. Muhammadu Rabi'u Musa Kwankwaso
Kwankwaso of course is the most popular northern candidate after PMB, and if you take the latter out of the race vast majority of northern electorates will vote for Kwankwaso.
Also Kwankwaso are in a very good term with PMB and he seem to be one of the most idle candidates for him to anoint. Remember also Kwankwaso came second in 2015 APC presidential primary election, now imagine PMB out of the picture.
Kwankwaso also seem to be the only nPDP decampee who has an excellent rapport with the presidency certainly more than a Saraki and Atiku.
As I stated earlier we currently lack story opposition, and it appears the way things are going there isn't gonna be an opposition with momentum, resources, members, and acceptance in 2019 the kind APC had prior to 2015 elections. So the main rumble is gonna take place within APC, the emerging candidate may just sail through.

EazyMoh:

Mind you this is not a list of those I deem most fit for the job,it is the list those with the potential to achieve it (the seat not the job).
Kachikwu isn't even a politician to start with. you don't expect people like Ameachi to take a back seat when they were all the party depended on in the region to make it were it is today.

APCHaram:
Abacha
Dimka
Qaddafi
Idi Amin

EazyMoh:

Check the list it's almost 50-50, but for people like you you only see what y7 want to see.

Jesusloveyou:
remove kachikwu and replace it with el-rufai.
It is one of the three buhari wil anoint.

EazyMoh:
Having closely followed Nigerian politics especially 2011 and 2015 elections, I believe there are enough indications to safely predict who and who might be most likely victorious presidential candidates in 2019.
Until PMB's recent medical trip I was convinced there was no major obstacle for a PMB's second term. This I believed was simply due to the lack of a viable presidential candidate that can challenge the president at the polls.
May I remind you in 2011 that people voted mainly against GEJ due to his failures (real or perceived). Likewise in 2019 people (the majority at least) may consider voting against PMB (also against real and perceived flaws), but the deciding factor is lack of a reliable opposition figure to do to PMB what he did to GEJ .
So foreclosing the above scenario due to the president's health gives room for predicting his likely successor. Going by the president's decision to play neutral in legislature leadership elections, it's safe to say the president may decide to do the same thing in 2019 regarding APC presidential candidate.
This brings us to the top five people I'd consider most likely to succeed PMB.

yes 50% Hausa and the rest Nigerians share the remaining 50% Right?
please don't quote me again because I am very close to insulting you.

APCHaram:
Abacha
Dimka
Qaddafi
Idi Amin

doubleportion:

Though you have already said it was your opinion, but my opinion is that PMB might also know his health status, thereby getting himself ready since he will not want to breakdown when it matter most. Still an opinion, you will discover that no back home has never heard his voice, because we can deduce his state of health and shout on him to come back home if we deduced that he is healthy, after this year politicking begins. So all these hullabaloo that PMB is unhealthy and he will not run in 2019 may be a delusion.

5. SP Sen. Abubakar Bukola Saraki

allrightsir:


None of the people you have mentioned have shown any capacity for great thinking or a capacity for the sort of visionary leadership and ideas that can change the course of this country. If this are the options, better start to emigrate with your family.

Ngokafor:


..lmao!!..so its no longer 'sai baba buhari till 2023'??...In 2015,it was 'buhari will rull till 2023,after that Osibanjo will rull for another 8 years blablabla!!

...Funny clowns!!...you all sit down in one dingy corner making permutations in future tenses you have no control over..'Igbos will never rule,Biafra will never come,we will control the destiny of Igbos till eternity blablabla..

..Now its another set of calculations for 2019,with buhari's name missing

..Buhari himself on ascension of the throne was behaving like a demi-god with his 97% and 5% thingy,now he is lying sick while the 5% are alive and kicking and the 97% crying of hunger and starvation..

..Let the uncertainty surrounding buhari and 2019 presidency now be a lesson for you numb-skulls(apc supporters)..thats if you have any common sense ..Never say never is the watch-word for the wise.

Koolking:


These candidates don't stand a chance. Their antecedents work against them. Unless the people's mandate is hijacked by the cabal

EazyMoh:

Lol! You have succeed in saying nothing actually.
We supported PMB in 2015 and today he's the president while you were beating chest. Your hero lost and nothing happened.
Unlike you who are blinded by sentiments and lack of vision, we can decode and analyze political happenings to predict and plan for what's gonna happen. And the prediction is that nor PDP nor any other political party is gonna stop an APC candidate from winning.

EazyMoh:

Edo and Ogun say otherwise.

EazyMoh:

You are on point however may I point out to you that Kwankwaso isn't perceived as "north centric" half the extent Buhari was. Yet he was elected.
Osinbajo like I said has no party loyalists or big boys yet. And PDP isn't going anywhere, mind you I am from the same ward with Sule Lamido.

EazyMoh:
2. Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu
It's still no argument the Jagaban Borgu wields a lot of political clout follwership perhaps he's second only to PMB in terms of political base consolidation.
If Asiwaju were to throw his at in the ring in 2019 am sure even the now popular VP Osinbajo will mobilize for him. It is noteworthy Asiwaju's base was instrumental in PMB's emergence as presidential candidate because much of northern voted were decided among PMB, Kwankwaso and Atiku. It was Asiwaju's camp that boosted the former's votes to outweigh the rest.
May be if northern candidates (the likes of Atiku, Kwankwaso, Saraki who might contest) were to divide their votes in 2019, a lone Asiwaju from the south could clinch the ticket.
Forget PDP fielding a Dankwambo from the north, PDP is generally viewed as the main cause of Boko Haram, it's defeat is now credited to APC. Hence a northern candidate won't make any difference.
3 VP Prof. YEMI Osinbajo
The VP is arguably the most popular Nigerian politician today, especially giving his performance as Acting President. Unlike an overreaching Atiku or a docile GEJ as a VP and later Namadi Sambo, Osinbajo carries out his duties professionally and diplomatically. Also giving the level of trust, mutual respect and support he enjoys for PMB, I believe the president wouldn't mind giving him a chance to succeed him in 2019.
The only issue an Osinbajo candidacy might face could mainly be from the interest of Asiwaju if he also decides to join the rest. Giving the latter's grip on the loyalists of the party, Osinbajo may be defeated in the primary election by Tinubu himself. That is of course giving the divided nature of northern votes among those possible contestants.
The rest of the main election is going to be a walk in the park.
