Ekiti and Osun elections prove SW is a battle ground, you guys forget Igbos has a large population in SW that can give bloc votes, even tinubu might end up working for atiku

Stop being delusional!

How come the Igbos did not use their "large population" to elect Jimi Agbaje of PDP back then in 2015?
How come they did not use it to win Lagos for Jonathan, back then in 2015?
How come the Igbo large population in the SW is not used to win Ekiti Governorship for Fayose' stooge?
What about Osun, how come Igbos did not elect Adeleke as Governor?

I know Igbos are very emotional people but l am talking FACTS here.
What is the percentage of Igbos in the SW, who have PVC and what percentage of those with PVC will come out to vote in the SW?
grin grin

Abeg, this gamble don backfire for Atiku

I think credibility, knowledge of the economy should be the order of the day,
If PDP are corrupt and yet under dat Govt we had great achievement and people didnt die of hunger as compared to one terrible administration, where freedom of speech is restricted, then i think we'd rather take a tent with AOB.
Which do u prefer indirect corruption(where selected few benefit) or direct corruption where all Nigerians benefit.
I believe the theory of JEREMY BENTHAM called Bentham Criterion on Welfare which says "Greatest goods for the greatest number"
A.OBi-greatest $ money for greatest population
B.OSi-greatest money for selected few.*

We are talking about how to revamp the economy you are talking about your tribesman being in a VP position. Pray tell what has osinbajo being VP brought to the sw, what did obasnjo as a president bring to the sw? What did Jonathan as a president bring to as? Being myopic and tribalistic at the same time is curse.

You will rather suffer for the next 4years ad be satisfied just because your tribesman is the VP when you benefit nothing just because you don't want another tribesman to be VP who might get is out of this fallen economy where people are earning 18k a month.

Buhari has failed and should not be given a second chance so we will remove him. If Atiku messes up we take him out too, because we can't do anything once they get there, the office of the president especially.

If Atiku and obi get in and stimulate the economy where people can do business and prosper who will pay attention to who is his tribesman in govt, as long as the person is competent.
bro leave the guy. his heart is with atiku but his problem is Obi.l would have supported any choice of atiku for vp but seems the guy carry tinubu matter for head

From your logic, then Anambra is also a battle ground since APC came second ahead of PDP in gurbernatorial elections.

Isn't about being second but margin, anambra was won by a landslide, you cant say same about ekiti and osun, moreover APC has internal party issues look at Ogun.

Igbos were a factor to why Agbaje was able to put up a fight, PDP will get substantial votes in SW this is no news, if you like you can argue, everyone is tired of this failed govt.

Atiku is very corrupt. Dude looted $16billion together with obasanjo his former boss. Atiku singlehandedly destroyed Nitel, he embezzled custom money when he was the boss. The American government indicted his stealing ass because Atiku was also involved in the Halliburton crime.

Mr Atiku's lootocracy has crossed into every continent of this earth. And some people want Nigerians to vote for a corrupt criminal like Atiku. Never again!!!

They say the devil you know is better than the angel you dont know. What is atiku looking for in asorock? An incompetent Buhari is a million times better than a corrupt atiku. Atikulation my foot!!! More like "a thief circulation"

And that feminine peter obi didn't help any matter. Rather he made everything worse. Anyway we will see how a corrupt man with his silly running mate will enter asorock. It will never ever ever happen.



Lol we are just waiting for proper election campaign to start and atiku will forever regret why pdp nominated his stealing ass to be their flag bearer

if you agreed on the above then leave SW, about 30% of SW are none indigenes. It's painful you wanted a vp from SW though but that isn't going to help. PDP will get at least 40% of SW votes. mark it somewhere

Why is it Painful to you? grin grin

It is sad that you guys dont understand human psychology!
Atiku will get majority of the votes in the S/East, irrespective of where his running mate comes from .... (because most Easterners will not vote for APC/Buhari), but that cannot take him to Aso Rock.

If he were smart, he would try to get the Votes of the S/West IN ADDITION to that of the S/East, by picking a S/West running mate. He should have tried to 'snatch' some votes from the S/West, from Buhari/APC..... by taking one of their own as running mate.

With his choice of Peter Obi from the SEast (not minding that peter Obi was rejected by his own people in 2015 as he could not deliver his state to PDP, after eight years in power!), he has solidly and finally taken himself and PDP put of the S/West and given it to Buahri/APC.

The S/East = Atiku + Obi/PDP
The S/West = Buahri + Osinbajo/APC

Battle ground is now the Northern Votes and we all know that overall, Buhari will floor Atiku in the North combined.
Like in 2015,
Win or Share North and Win South West, Buhari gets elected.
Share North and Win S/East, Atiku still cant get elected

And to be fair to him, I think he is a competent technocrat(from his people's testimony). But Atiku is one corrupt Nigerian i know. Have come in contact with him even though it was indirect, I visited his hometown in the past, spent close to three freaking months there, I heard what his people said about him. And what they said about him was bad. Simply put, : Atiku is a thief. May God forgive him though......

you are making noise. while "should have picked his vp from SW'" that's the pain. If your heart is with buhari, you should be rejoicing for atiku mistake not had it being he picked SW vp. Obi lost Anambra because is APGA is in Anambra blood.Who will get SS vote? Buhari right? How about NC? you think NC with vote buhari to finish his genocide mission or NE to abandon their own.

Lol.
In the other thread, you were talking about atiku has lost the north because of obi.
As if there has ever been a monolithic north.

Now you are saying atiku has lost because of atiku, since obi is as clean as a whistle and as competent as Abraham Lincoln and you have nothing concrete against him.

Guy, you need help. Nobody should take you seriously.



From nigeria political history ... infact under pdp 16yrs rule who vice president help, it is just a ceremonial post or glorified supervising post .... times have shown vice president are just antics to secure votes as far as nigeria is concern.
Obi is as sound as osibanjo, but even with osibanjo as VP where as that taken us ...
History as shown in pdp 16yrs rule that Vp is just a ceremonial post with no contributions asides supervising projects ...
if atiku becums president & start laundering money again can gud OBi stop him ... who controls who. pdp is just a party of social media noise when election comes una go cry as usual thinking it was rigged becos of NL 100likes for atiku ..

Those claiming atiku is corrupt. The question is, Why is Buhari not after him even while he crossed over to pdp. Only kids believe tainted media reports. Buhari is more corrupt than any other politician. It will all be unmasked after he leaves office. His corruption fight claim was a charade to win elections.

SW is NOT a battle ground at all.

Atiku just threw it away, into Buhari's lap.
If you are from the SW, what would make you vote for a party whose action and your Vote is a DIRECT REMOVAL of your Tribe from the Power equation (with respect to the Vice Presidency) and replacement of same with someone from the S/East?

Atiku must be high on Oshogbo weed. Even Osun will not vote for such Atiku/Obi combination at the expense of Osinbajo
The SW is lost to APC, confirm.

Question is, what has osibanjo done for me as a Yoruba man?? If not for the stubbornness of fayose and the ever shouting Afenifere, the herdsmen would HV run through the south west leaving death and blood behind.
You talk about Osun, of course even in 2011, osun was the only south west state that voted ACN, Jonathan won all the other west state including Edo. That changed in 2015 because we all became tired of him. All the PDP need to do is lay bare the facts in the south west, appeal to the common sense mentality of the south wey, and trust me, the common sense mentality of the south west will make them vote right irrespective of tribe, besides, the aim may not be to win the south west, but divide the votes there and cut buhari to his pre-2015 stature as a regional jingoist
