It's there turn. Since 1999 you have had South almost 13 years in power. We are still leading them sef, so for equity it's good. The Northern power brokers understand this and that is where your own miscalculation driven by irrational anger is

dyydxx1:


Let them try it. They will lose. Anyway I still personally don't believe PDP can be this stupid but it's welcome if they did. My point still stands, Buhari is not on the ballot so we can at least agree no northern bloc votes for whoever the influential Northerners are. Either as PDP presidential candidate or APC VP candidate. So it will be interesting to actually test this and do away with assumptions. But either way the road to victory doesn't pass through the SE. This governorship elections should have shown you that the Northerners are voting based on there own local issues and interests. They are politically astute and will definitely support a VP so that they can reclaim power in 2031. It will be about position. If this is PDPs game plan they will lose again

Whiteangel1234:
I think APC is Buhari and Buhari is APC if we look at the current trend in Kano and some Northern States there will be no APC without Buhari.

So the PDP Should Zone the Presidency to the North and pick their Vice President from the South East or South South this will be strategic and will help the party regain power again .

In terms of Trust the Igbo's will gladly Form Political alliance with the North anytime they will not pretend or hide their motives

Let APC zone the Presidency to the South West and His VP from North

eagleeye2:

Why should I be angry? Now you just said the South have had 13 years, and you think the North wouldn't want to balance up and even surpass them a little. Power is taken and not given. So forget any thought of equity and fairness when you talk about power.

eagleeye2:

PDP can't be that stupid you say? It is the political astuteness of the North that will make them to gain from the division in the south. Yes, the SE don't determine who rules or not. But are you willing to bet that the politically astute North will pass over on the opportunity to continue in power after Buhari if it is presented to them on a platter? Think about that.

nonsobaba:
Umahi of ebonyi state will come out for president in 2023. As much as I dislike abakaliki people, I must admit that Umahi is a very stubborn man who stands firmly on what he believes in. So if PDP deny Igbos the 2023 ticket, Umahi will lead other SE PDP states to boycott and sabotage PDP

franchasng:
When the time comes, you will tell us who wrote the unwritten rule


PDP have already zoned the Presidential slot to North to ensure they regain federal power since Tinubu and his Yoruba goons out of their desperateness to clinch on to federal power decided to support known thieves like Barawo Gandollar and known Terrorist sponsor cum Tyrant Buhari, we will align with the north to ensure power returns to the north under PDP, APC must go back to Lagos State where it belongs after Buhari leaves office

So the only saving grace for Yorubas right now is to intensify prayers and consult your alfas and babalawos to help Buhari kick the big bucket before so Profesi Osibandele can take over before Buhari tenure expires 2023

dyydxx1:


Let's look at this dispassionately, if any zone deserves presidency in 2023 on the platform of PDP it should be SE because of there unwavering loyalty since 1999. If SE cannot even emerge through PDP then they will never emerge. As I have said you can't reap where you didn't sow so that even says a lot. I'm telling you that a PDP northern Presidential candidate and an APC northern Vice Presidential candidate will definitely battle it out on equal terms of it has to get to that. And at the end of the day that is what counts

rummmy:
Both parties are picking presidential candidate from the South East... Ask orji kalu and ekweremadu, anything shot of this is a no no no no..... North and west can not continue to full us

Honor10:


oga! the only thing SW need is Buhari support, as long as he support SW, SW is coasting to victory

eagleeye2:

I remember stating somewhere that other tribes in Nigeria will never elect a SE (Igbo) president. I don't delude myself in thinking that an Igbo man stands a chance for Aso Rock. No.
So, the PDP is not likely to go that route because they know they will lose. And it's a sure thing that APC is going for a Southwest Presidential candidate. And the natural thing for PDP to do is to pursue a Northern presidential candidate.
I agree the North will have a divided vote, but the Southeast and the south south will tilt towards the PDP candidate.
Thus my calculation is that the division in the South will be the undoing of the APC in 2023. Power is all about interests.

eagleeye2:

Buhari is not a party man like Tinubu. When Buhari finishes his tenure, I doubt if he will travel the length and breadth of this country campaigning for APC in 2022.

NkayStory:



Your headache,you can call yourselves kings and Igbos slaves to suit your delusions but that wont make you President in 2023,

Go and write it down,instead of yorubas to be President in 2023 or beyond ,the North will continue to rule till Nigeria dis-integrates

That is a promise.

franchasng:
As soon as Buhari leaves office, APC is dead and buried in Nigeria, it will become a Tinubu Lagos party just like defunct AD

By then, Tinubu or Osinbajo or Fashola or Fayemi will become their Presidential aspirant with Barowo Gandollar as VP, then they will win the Presidential seat of Bourdillion

nelronaldo:
This won't make any sense! If this happens, they have a strong chance of winning though. Northerners have the number to decide the next president.

But nobody will want to allow northerners 16 years as president.

misano:




Sorry the SS & SE will want a Northern candidate.

mercyville:


Maybe you are just annoyed that Buhari won with a little help from the SW and TINUBU but it is an unwritten law that there would be rotation Of power between the North and South and I think that is what has been playing out.I do not think the North is so daft as to continue to field and vote for Northerners,who will always win because they have the number except there is an alliance between the South and the Middle belt.

Charmingrascal:
South East with all their supports for PDP are losing out again. Lol
I have told you people several times to stop putting your eggs in one basket

KunleyY19:
So far an Igbo man is on that ticket it's bound to fail in the north...PDP will be wise to go with SS or SW which is more acceptable in The North...

Buhari's Performance this second term is the major determinant if he performs creditably well then the opposition is dead...

Ugosample:


the far north voted Buhari massively despite him having an igbo man as vice

TWO TIMES

with the right candidate, they will vote.
it has nothing to do with Igbos

I wonder what the Pastors preaching against Buhari now will say...Will they start preaching for a Muslim Northerner Again

eagleeye2:

And that is why a Professor of Law is serving 'Waec' holder whose certificate is a thing of endless debate.

Osaze007:


Same way a founder of a bank served an illiterate Atiku and lost we know your plans and it will fail infact I’m balky pdp lost and sw messed up by delivering more votes than the entire se

eagleeye2:

Lol.... if you refer to Atiku as illiterate i wonder what others will say about Buhari...maybe... didirin (imbecîle). Anyway, I'm done with this back and forth.

ChangeDchange:
Truth be told we igbos have tried for pdp and therefore deserve its presidential ticket , buh apc tinubu ticket will win over an igbo pdp ticket... And an average igbo man is scared of tinubu controlled government than buharis government.

Therefore we will support a northern pdp ticket with joy , its wrong though buh since we can't have it sw wunt
