VP Femi Otedola (beside been a billionaire. He is also from Epe LGA same LGA Ambode and ambode will share APC vote in Lagos because it will be payback time.Beside big guys and otedola pal Dangote will also pull crowd all over Nigeria for him)

biztip:
2015 is diff from 2019.,in 2015 people were voting for change believing there will be a beta Nigeria. DTS why eben d southwest voted for buhari. but with this hunger and hardship brought upon Nigeria in this buhari era, I see buhari losing in d north. southwest will vote for PDP. people re tired of seeing anoda four years of hardship. I don't know what others see, am not a politician but I see atiku as d next president of nigeria

you get eyes

Majority will not vote PMB in south west, if he picks Peter Obi from South East, Atiku must surely win even if you give Buhari 2 handicap

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 will keep ruling till 2023.


My opinion

I think Peter Obi is the best bet, imagine vice presidential debate of Peter and Osinbajo.

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.

votes for APC

ekiti-120,313
ogun- 308,290
osun-383,603
oyo-528,620
ondo- 299,889
lagos- 792,460

Lagos alone gave him more than seven hundred thousand votes and you concluded yorubas only gave him 700k

oyo and osun alone is more than seven hundred thousand.

you are just ignorant

from the above the total is almost 3m like o told you earlier

Igbos and ignorance

take your L in peace

Don't be surprised if Atiku and PDP win next year Atiku has the funds to match APC's rigging and he is also loved by educated people in the South West. All the other PDP big guns will rally round Atiku and deploy their resources to help him record substantial votes in their respective States and Regions. Unless the APC uses INEC and State Security Services to win the elections, Buhari will lose next year.

atiku can pick anyone he wants. it won't add him an already gotten advantage which is DT Nigerians are tired of buhari economic style. many people have lost their jobs, many biznesses closed, more nigerians have ran away from Nigeria looking for greener pastures. its true DT there have never been a time things were good in Nigeria but definitely there has been a time its worst. and DTS within d last 3 and half years. when I see people argue about who will win in 2019, I laugh. do u people even know DT d northerners have suffered more in this buhari regime. more people became poorer there and hungry combined with Fulani herdsmen saga. many farmers in d north deserted their farm in fear of been killed by herdsmen. d only people supporting buhari re politicians who stand to gain appointments if he continues in office.,as for d real Nigerians they know Nigeria is going down and DT it can only get worse under buhari. even if its a goat DT contests under a strong party like PDP against nuhari will defeat buhari. for me I don't even see DT election as a contest. its already a walkover . buhari should go rest. his policies shrinks d economy and life of nigerians

Aquilazng:
Okonjo or Peter Obj is OK

This will be excellent but the jealous spoilers of Nigeria politics will perform their act of perfidy. I will prefer he chooses a Yoruba as running mate as long as APC is sent packing.

0monnak0da:
They are mostly minority groups but have produced a president and are targetting their second.
The SE is not relevant in Nigerian politics. A people who one minute are calling for Biafra?
?
If the Eboes like they can be 100% in the SW their votes will be counted how the Yoruba want them to be counted and nothing will happen.

if not for the death of Yaradua ,Jonathan or south south will still be dreaming of the presidency

fykes:
For a VP, I want OTEDOLA

I think I agree with you. He needs someone that can match what Osinbajo's value.

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...

Why do you think so. Are southeasteners not human beings.? So are you saying the north and SW do not believe in one Nigeria? Choosing a SE vice will be the most sane thing to do. The hatred and discrimination needs to stop. Unless it is no more one Nigeria.

Famzer:

Hahaha. Please don't confuse Ekiti and Osun election for national presidential election sir. The South West is seriously angling for the Presidency in 2023 and it's best bet is the Vice Presidency,anything else won't persuade them to vote against APC. Currently,it is the dominant political bloc in the southwest that is backing Prof osibanjo so PDP will give APC a strong edge if it goes to another zone for its Vice presidency slot. It is not that I am particularly happy that the southeast has a lesser chance but PDP will lose the election if doesn't field Southwest

SW people we know them , but for your information Atiku and PDP will never fall for your antics, who do you want to even bring out for the VP? Because me never see any tangible person

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.

What percentage of voters in SW are igbos?

Being the second largest.

Tolexander:
Why?

constitutionally wrong?

U must be related to buhari. I know u don't have waec

Aquilazng:
Okonjo or Peter Obj is OK

Ngozi Okonji Iweala will never accept to be Atiku's vice.

The most agreeable as seen in the incumbent is, for the purpose of inclusion, (Atiku coming from the Northern bloc, would have to choose) someone from the southern bloc; someone who claims christianity; is a technocrat, not a partisan politician, one popular for performance or advocate of ideals, one who can articulate, personify what the Government preaches (not necessarily what it is practicing), someone eloquent enough, someone who can debate an Osinbajo (cause PMB cannot defend his first term), one progressively critical enough to take the past 4 years of PMB & tear its hypocrisy to shreds...that being said, I can only think of:
East - Ezekwesili, Okonjo-Iweala, Elumelu, Utomi, Obi
South South - Donald Duke, Ben Bruce
Southwest - Agbaje

This people always amuse me, how many millions of vote did they give to Jonathan and how many did they give to GMB, you guys always say PDP is a regional part because SS and SE are the major stake holder but now you guys want to ripe where you didn't sow.... Same on you guys

Donald Duke is out of the equation. He is the SDP's Presidential Candidate for 2019. Ben Bruce does not carry enough weight to be Atiku's deputy. Bruce should be made a Minister if PDP wins next year. Ditto for Jimi Agbaje. Atiku's running mate has to be from the South-East. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is both South East and South South in ethnic origin. Making a woman like Iweala as Atiku's running mate will be historic and it will galvanize votes for PDP from all over the nation, especially from Ladies and Women. Peter Obi is another good option. Atiku is a very intelligent fulani man. Buhari is not intelligent. Cheers.

Honestly,it is not about antics.We are having a healthy political discussion as stakeholders in the Nigerian project. If you are Atiku,what will you use to get votes from a region with the second highest number of registered voters which the ruling party has given the Vice presidency? Just think about this as a neutral observer

Base on your submission Peter Obi is the best among them, why did I say that, because he has been tested, entrusted with state funds and he performed wonderfully well and for his eight years as a governor ,never been found wanting, left billions when he was leaving

landmark86:
1. Atiku will claim all the vote in the North East

My opinion

mumu posts like this is why I seldom read Nairaland comments...

Atiku vs Buhari in NW and NE will be a win for Buhari. NC is like 55 to 45 in Atiku's favour...SW is like 55 to 45 in Buhari's favour...SS and SE will be like 80 to 20 in Atiku's favour...But SS and SE combined won't cancel Buhari's lead in NW and NE...

In the NE, we are talking of states like Yobe, Bauchi, Borno, etc which are pro-Buhari states.

IbrahimDamola:


He joined APC when buhari won, he was even considered for ministerial appointment but he got the African development bank job and left.

PDP will not zone it to the SW except they've sworn to destroy their chances. They already have the SS, parts of MB, NE, they'll need to consolidate their power by picking SE, which will have a positive ripple effect on both SE and SS. SE and SS vote in the same pattern.

na wa o, so the man left PDP immediately after election. smh.

sogodihno:


What will Atiku gain by picking an easterner as VP, absolutely nothing.
SE is already in his bag, I know SE won't vote for Buhari. And SE has the least voters.
Anyway, I know Atiku won't make that mistake

Clear voters apathy,
Stop APC from getting 25%

Encourage igbos living in other regions which constitute of 70% of total igbos to come out and vote.


We will do the main mobilization this December when they come home and every other zone becomes empty.


Why is it that during Xmas period other zones are dry?

who told you that the southeast have the least number of voters?

Do you know how many persons from the southeastern descent that lives outside of the southeast?
stop talking nonsense!

kaliboi94:

U must be related to buhari. I know u don't have waec

Hello, you are definitely a drooling.

How can a man have "waec"?

is waec a property?

Atiku should not just woo OBJ with mouth. Let Atiku request a running mate from OBJ camp. A Yoruba vice is a better political strategy at this time

Do u know that Igbo community outside igboland live in groups and this community carry igbos agenda and identity

When you say NW ,I begin to wonder how many igbos are in Kano


See igbos problem is apathy, and with the silence of ipob and Massob no longer calling igbos to boycott elections,you will truly understand the strength of igbos in other regions.

Look at the election that brought ambode to power,igbos voted massively for Agbaje and good luck ,youruba voted massively for ambode and buhari because of tinubu effects.

What was the Margine between ambode and agbaje in Lagos?

Less 680k and 810k

Linzo:
Take or leave it PDP is still very strong in SW and due to the underperformance of PMB many persons from that region will not vote PMB. Check osun and ekiti election and see that PDP is stronger in SW.

In the case of Lagos buhari is gooner because majority of lagosians are complaining bitterly about PMB style of government that have brought hardship to them, many of them have their children abroad schooling and the Buhari regime as made it difficult for them to access dollars and also the high exchange rate have been another factor that many Nigeria and lagosians are lamenting, this couple with the issue of Ambode. Believe it or not Ambode will not worked earnestly for the success of APC

In SS and SE you need to see the hatred this two regions have for Buhari, i came from these two regions, if any one tell you Buhari can get 5% vote in both Rivers and Akwa Ibom then that person is deceiving you. In Delta which is my state Buhari is equal to nothing, so 1%_vote for him in Delta state is by God grace.

In SE which is my mother's region whether PDP take a vice from the SE or not they can never vote Buhari, I mean PMB will never get up to 0.04% vote their. Its either you believe it or not but that's the bitter truth.

The best thing PDP should do is get a credible vice from SW to appeal and entice them more and that solves PDP problem in the Southern Nigeria

ur analysis is very correct. even in other southwest state buhari can't win.,APC will win governorship BT as for presidential even d northwest he comes from will reject him . d only state he is sure of winning is his home state katsina and maybe surrounding ones like Bauchi . he won't win kano

Many of you making noise here won't even vote...If Atiku should nominate an Igbo man as his VP, he should kiss mainstream SW support goodbye...And the election will be massively rigged for Buhari here...Keep this post till next year.
