Famzer:

No because they have the option of Chief Falae sir

Glink2018:



No, you are wrong...

Atiku should pick.....

Diezani Alison Madueke should be his running mate.

She carry polithievian weight as Atiku

AyakaDunukofia:
" In an interview with New Telegraph newspaper, Junaid Mohammed said that whereas the average votes garnered by Buhari in Lagos and other SW state was about 700, 000, Kano gave him two million votes"

Why all this noise from a few uninformed miscreants from the SW?

landmark86:
1. Atiku will claim all the vote in the North East
2. Atiku and PMB will both share the vote in North West equally
3. Atiku will have the larger vote in the Middle belt
4. Buhari will have the larger vote in the South West
5. Atiku can only lead Buhari with more vote if only he can pick his running mate either from South South or South East (South East preferable).

By this Atiku will emerge the winner come 2019 or else PMB keeping ruling till 2023.


My opinion

ISLAMBAD:

Expect that tribal politics in 2019.
History might repeat itself.

Jaideyone:
lie. buhari got 3m votes from the south west

PDP got 2.7m

My opinion

bonechamberlain:
a member of APC, when.

mandax:
SW and NW in Buhari presidency.

SE and NE slug it out with SW and NW next election.

P. Obi is answer, or any former governor in the southeast.

paj4love:


My brother let's say things as we see it, SW vote will be 50/50 or 60/40 as far as PDP is Concern, even though you give them the VP slot, but South East will be of an advantage to PDP, Because APC is already woeing them with presidential slot in 2023 and if they fall for it then Atiku should say bye-bye to his presidential bid, and 2023 is not even sure for SE under APC because of Tinubu factor

Aquilazng:
Okonjo or Peter Obj is OK

sogodihno:
if Atiku make the mistake of picking his vice from SE, then it's over for him. he will get less than 20% from SW, no westerner will leave Osinbajo to vote for peter obi/Nkowjo.

SS has the PDP chairman aready, they can't have the VP and SS & SE is already tilted towards Atiku.

Their is no way Atiku can win In NW(wch has the largest voter), what he should is to try to get at least 40% in NW. Atiku should win comfortably in the NE and NC. But this cant march NW(largest voter) and SW votes(2nd largest voter).

Atiku, can only win if he pick SW candidates if not, he should better not contest. SW media will finish him and won't get significant vote with Igbo VP in the west.

SOUTH WEST GAVE BUHARI A PALTRY 700K. IT IS A NATIONAL RECORD. ATIKU IS NOT READY FOR THAT. HE NEEDS A BLOCK VOTE.

SOUTH East VOTE is NOT certain for anyone. They VOTE in BLOCK. And not ready to take any insult.

Spatta:
Nigeria is a dead country

see the agitation over a corrupt Atiku

whoa! those who took History out of our curriculum did us a great disservice

onadana:



People and religion.

I do not understand all this talk of voting strength. All states are equal and what is more important is getting 25% or in the states where you are strong stop your opponent getting 25%.

the SW and SS both have 6 states each while the SE has only 5 so Atiku's best bet to my mind will be either SS or SW. Politically with 5 states the SE is irrelevant

To win the election Atiku needs to hold his NE region and am to stop Buhari winning 25%.

He needs to work in the NC region and aim for 25% across SW and particularly Lagos

Honestly I do not think a SW candidate will help him.

I cannot see any current PDP member in the SW that has any clout.

It will all come down to money and structures

We have a good idea how the SS and SE will vote but this time with the federal might and decampees like Akpabio,Uduaghan and so on Buhari will get 25%.

All said I think The resultt will be close and Buhari will win. Buhari will win SW so Atiku should go to the SS. A SE candidate will hinder rather than help him

sexiestharam:
If you watched the primaries, you will realise his closeness to Ben Bruce. Ben Bruce would likely be his running mate.

My opinion

oluwaseyi000:

Hopefully PDP will choose a reasonable and acceptable vice

The reason south west seems to tilt towards buhari especially during his second term bid is osinbajo, not a case of tribalism of him simply being a Yoruba man but of his qualifications, a good technocrat, scandal free, family man and Public Relation man. Hate or like Tinubu he seems to have abundance of this amazing technocrats in his war chest and uses them appropriately.

PDP/Atiku should note that not everything is about Buhari/APC, in choosing their vice, the target man should be Osinbajo nothing less than him should be presented, forget the position of president you need someone people will rather vote rather than osinbajo and I must confess that is a more difficult job than finding a match against buhari

sulakishop:
Choosing from the SE may jeopardize his winning chances. Most northerners and SW might not be comfortable with such choices. Just an opinion though...

0monnak0da:


There is no parallel between 1979 and now so stop talking nonsense

What do you mean by "divided"

There were 10 states in the North in 1979 and Shagari only got 25% in 7 states
He got 25% in 5 states in the South

his party the NPN won the governorship in 5 States out of 10
Sokoto Niger, Benue,Kwara and Bauchi

It did not win in the other five Plateau,Kano,Kaduna,Gongola and Borno

These are the only states (10) that were present at that time
