Goke7:


and you think APC too will fold their hand abi?

WisdomFlakes:


If what you saying is the true situation on ground in that region, then it may work against Atiku. This is reminiscent of the Lagos scenario during the last governorship elections, where the perception of Jimi Agbaje being an 'ibo candidate' lost him a lot of sympathy/goodwill amongst his kin in the state, and ultimately cost him the election.

QuotaSystem:
PMB and Osibanjo now have the SW + North (a.k.a almighty formula) firmly in their grip.

Atikuchukwu how makate?

jollymizzle:
well sincerely, timing is everything, a few months ago the sentiments would have had a different tone, pmb was terribly sick and away, the economy was bad, moral was generally down. now things are looking up, the economy isn't as bad and pmb is looking healthier than even when he was contesting against Gej. all these I'm sure would constituents a very unpleasant migraine for Atiku. he really needs something to campaign with, restructuring is ok but not potent enough as the national assembly is the ones with power to change the constitution.

Lol Atiku's idea of restructuring which EXCLUDES fiscal federalism and resource control is enough to cost him support even from his core base (SE/SS).

The insults that Atiku suffered from ipods when that "Atiku idea of restructuring" thread hit the FP is a valid pointer to that fact .

Sunky200:
"19 northern states" so the middle belt is no more in existence?

journalists are giving the hausa/fulani the awareness and strength they are fast~losing in Nigeria political space.

Well, they package and repackage all they want, one thing I know for sure is that 'I will not vote for a fulani'

Daboomb:




No, let them play their dangerous game!
PDP has always been a dangerous party from day-one!

It simply plays more into the hands of APC. 2015 on 'repeat-mode'.

Your arrogance is amusing,more amusing considering the fact that you are a mere mortal with no control over your tomorrow or anybody's.Your delusional air of superiority and invincible may be bursted sooner than you think..

Keep your rants and rubbish calculations coming.

okway:
Buhari just won

QuotaSystem:


Arrogance or reality check? Or you want to pretend to not know that the North and South West are Nigeria's electoral powerhouses?

You're entitled to your perspective however delusional they are.

Ugosample:


SW over estimating their importance lmao

Ngokafor:



What reality and what powerhouses??...chanting 'Atikuchukwu' in a retardded manner all over nairaland??...dude please!

onatisi:

they have to present their candidate ,honestly if buhari is presented again then apc has a very very very slim chance . in the next couple of weeks , most likely by February , ppl will start moving from one party to another .

QuotaSystem:


You can keep playing ostrich for as long as you want, but it doesn't change the reality of the North + SW deadly electoral efficacy.

Atikuchukwu's IPOB endorsement is the final nail in the coffin of his presidential ambition.

Goke7:


so the SE will be played again? hmm na wa o!

Goke7:


Exactly, so we would aslo see movements from pdp into apc or you think the outcome of the pdp convention will be favourable to everyone?APC may not produce their candidate until PDP present theirs even atiku may not be pdp candidate at the end of the day. Politics is also like biscuit, you don't know where it will crack. It's still early days

Ngokafor:



You have no campaign points for your failed and mega clueless buhari cos there are none..The only cards you have to play is to tag Atiku as an IPOB member just because some Igbos appear to be supporting him,thats how empty you lots are .

Bari22:
PDP just confused themselves, and wait after they fail election in 2019 they will still blame APC for their failure.

Before now, I used to say PDP has internal arrangement more than any party in Nigeria but that one is before.

Zoning chairman and vice to South south and south east is nothing but suicide, marginalising southwest is not a good bet for any party that wants win an election in Nigeria. I'm a northener but I have since realised this.

jollymizzle:
this is not a South West matter, it's a pdp South West matter (that incidentally appears to be on life support) it's either they let it die or they find the donors for the organs it needs to survive. it's left for the pdp to decide if the cost of winning the southwest is greater than the advantage/loss from those who would have to donate the organs(I'm looking at South East viz the vp slot. they are I'm afraid the only compatible donor) jokes apart though, the pdp needs south west.

QuotaSystem:


Exactly my point, and the APC campaign is likely to use that tested and very potent tool against Atiku. For his own good he'd better shake off that "ibo candidate" facade otherwise it will come back and bite him very hard in the butt.

Mynd44:
A chairman and Deputy from the south?

The PDP is playing a dangerous game sha. They need the SW and can't afford another tussle.

QuotaSystem:


Reducing BH from an occupying military force that took over the region with tanks and administrative headquarters, to a ragtag guerrilla group is a major campaign point in Athiefkuchukwu's NE, so you have no point. As we speak, the region is being gradually rebuilt thanks to PMB.

This is just the beginning, IPOB members feverish support for Athiefkuchukwu is just the icing on the cake of his serially failed candidacy and will be his greatest undoing yet.

dokwhot:
And when he does that,his slim support aka noise will evaporate.Atiku can never fly.Both ways.

onatisi:

which streets ?forget all these nairaland political analysts oo that are shouting atiku is an ibo candidate .just wait and see
the game hasnt even started , it is one step at a time , you have to understand how these politicians manipulate ppl brains and thinking
just wait and see. it is one step at a time , the convention is first , then secondly is the party ticket

jollymizzle:
pdp southwest being in shambles does not equate to lack of unity. people like me don't care about the pdp,even though we are not totally happy with the APC. if we had a third option I'm telling you even APC would be terrified. pdp is just about to make another mistake just like they made with sheriff. I'm not saying secondous is not fit.pdp needs southwest and Atiku needs to find a way to get southwest pdp to unite, to work for him else the party will fail in southwest. giving APC even more advantage than they have at the moment. I want a close race between pmb and Atiku but at the moment it's not looking good for pdp, there's still time though.

itsene:
All these shameless reporters pushing secondus's candidacy.
So annoying.

powerkey:


You are naive and an ethnic bigot....

Uche secondus is not an IBO ok. Get your facts right and try to read wide so you don't look stupid when you talk in a forum like this.

M16:



It shows how politically naive you are. Northerners are politically savvy and look at the bigger picture. Immediately Buhari was sworn in , they started looking at who could contest against him in the North for 2109, once he had the South west's(Asiwaju) backing. Now that's a forgone conclusion. There's no Northern candidate that can withstand Buhari, I don't know which foot soldiers for Atiku your talking about, even Atiku's children have been going around pleading with his friends to talk to their Father to drop this never ending dream.

Atiku was dead on arrival in the North without the Ibo tag. despite all the dollars he spent at APC convection Kwankwaso beat him. Look and watch
