Not because of religion, remember all South West except Osun voted for Jonathan in 2011, though many see Tinubu as d leader in south west but most of us in west use our head instead of our heart, that's why u hardly get 80% vote in west

its not about Religion.. As a Person Born in Lagos, I'll say it's more about Personal beliefs... Most South westerners are not cowed by wat a political leader says... Majority are after what has a Personal effect on themselves, Family, Business etc

It is not because of religious

West are enlightened to know what is good for us or not

We don't play politics of sentiment ( though some may)

Just because we are not in the same party or ( support your candidate) doesn't make us an enemy

That's how we roll in West

because we don't vote on tribal or religious sentiment, we vote our choices based on our conviction.
That's why I always laugh at Yoruba BMC Crew on Nairaland who always speak as if the whole Yoruba are pro Apc when infact pdp is a very strong party with huge structure in SW.
despite APC propaganda, Jonathan lost SW by a low margin.
Despite APC propaganda, PDP won the actual election in osun state. you did have thought all OSUN are pro APC and that pdp will struggle to even get a vote.
despite all what APC will say and propagate, Atiku is getting nothing less than 45/49% in SW.

and to those igbos who say pdp get votes because of non indigene population in SW, especially igbos, the assertion is a big fat lie.. here in osun state ,despite igbos huge population here, I've never seen an Igbo voter.

exactly, as at now, I don't know or can't say who will SW.
the elites are majorly against Buhari
the less educated will probably vote for Buhari again..

so true I thought pdp won't even get 10% of votes in osun election because of the propaganda.

They claimed osun is Yoruba Muslims majority state and they won't vote for pdp.

I was shocked seeing pdp leading there.

8 years from 16 years of pdp rule was s Yoruba president.

If he didn't work during his regime blame him not pdp

lol, it's always funny to see people get carried away by the BMC propaganda...unless you live amongst us in SW to get the real side of events.
More than 80% of those who led the campaign of Adeleke in Osun are Muslims, even though Adeleke himself is not what you will call a "real muslim"
Yoruba hardly do religion politics.
the lowest Atiku will get in Southwest is 45%
and like we see in osun state, anything can even happen.
no way will any candidate that win here get up to 60%
