If you know anything about the man Buhari he believes in loyalty, Osinbajo is loyal to a fault, only him can protect President Buhari's legacy, which he is part & parcel of, He is the next President, no one from Southern Nigeria will vote for a Northern candidate, no serious political party will field a Northerner, probably only Apga for Atiku, after Obiano leaves the party for Peter Obi when he finishes as Governor, and decamps to Apc. Wike, and all the south south Governor's will leave Pdp if anyone tries to impose a Northerner on them.

Lets assume that APC fields Osibanjo as Presidential candidate in 2023, where will Osibanjo get the votes to win? The SS/SE zone wont vote for him. All the votes of the SW cannot make him president. That leaves the North to decide. So why would the North support a Yoruba to become president when they could support one of their own to become President? Because of loyalty? Because Buhari wants it that way? The only thing the North cares about is power, and in 2023, both Buhari and loyalty wont mean as much to them as retaining power.

Osibanjo does not stand a chance in 2023 no matter the party he is running with

Your vote was ineffective in 2015 so I don't see your vote making any difference in 2023.


Nice try though.

If that's the case, then why the constant headache on nairaland? Why all the fuming? Why all the angry replies?

Why won't you n your types simply ignore the threads since "they" are inconsequential

I like things that make sense. I can't be calling a girl pictures ugly but stay in her dm's

Nice try indeed

The North is tilting towards the SS.. its no Joke, GEJ may possibly denounce PDP membership in 2023 to become a full elder statesman..

It is not his nature, the man is a mistake on South south politics, he never had any say, he was chosen by Obasanjo to undermine us in the south south, an ordinary deputy Governor of backward Bayelsa State? A Zebra, can never do the chores of a donkey.

The north love Osibanjo and they turned hi into VICE PRESIDENT {ACADEMIC)

Sorry to bust your long espistle, but you know nothing about Nigerian politics, no serious political party will choose anyone from the North, please tell me the Heavyweight weight political party that brought out a Southern candidate in the2019 Presidential election? It's all about calculation, President Buhari to preserve his legacy will single handedly with the assistance of Jagaban, and Oshiomole install Osinbajo as President.

President Buhari will be the 1st President in the history of Nigeria to hand over to his Vice, just be another number 1, to the President's cap, even Pdp & Yaradua on their death bed refused to hand over to Jonathan Ebele.

You dont seem to get it. Even Buhari would rather have his fellow Northerner continue. The North only cares about retaining political power. If anyone is hoping that Buhari will deliver Osibanjo against the wishes of his own people is kidding themselves

Osibanjo does not stand a chance in 2023 no matter the party he is running with

Apc does not need the south south or south east votes to win, it has been proven twice by President Buhari in 2015, and again in 2019, no matter what any myopic mind imagines, most intellectual thinkers know Presidential powers is coming down South, South West to be precise, Lagos, Ogun State(VP Osinbajo).

Osinbajo does not stand a chance in 2023 so you claim, the same thing you said about President Buhari in 2015, & 2019, don't mix sentiments with politics, wings of wax, you will get burnt.

Well if APC fields Osibanjo in 2023 then you better hope that all the votes in SW can deliver Osibanjo because thats the only zone he has any hope of winning

Buhari will deliver Katsina, and 3/4 of Northern Nigeria, El Rufai will deliver Kaduna, wamako and tambuwal will deliver sokoto, Ganduje will deliver Kano, Governor Bulum, and past Governor Shettima will deliver Borno State, all other Apc Governor's in the north must deliver their states by hook, or by crook, Senate President Lawan will deliver Yobe, all Senators & House of Reps must deliver their wards, and States to Apc, don't worry you will be in agony till at least 2031.

Every major contender for the Presidency will have areas of strengths and weaknesses.


What you just described may be an area of weakness for Osinbajo in 2023 but there are several other factors that are areas of his strengths.

gidgiddy:


What I see is that the North has no intention to concede power to the South. The Northern Elders Forum and the Arewa Consultative Forum have all said that Presidential rotation is not in the constitution and they do not recognize it. Power is very important to the North and they wont allow it to go down south for 8 years. Last time they did that with Obasanjo, they bitterly regretted it

In 2023, the Northerners will rally behind a fellow Northerner, no matter the party, and ensure he wins.

Osibanjo stands no chance as he will never be able to win votes outside his native SW

I WILL NOT EVEN DIGNIFY THIS TRASH WITH A RESPONSE OR MY CONSIDERATION.


U KNOW WEN A PEOPLE ARE BUILDING THEMSELVES FOR A GREAT FALL, IT USUALLY INVOLVES TAKING SEVERAL STEPS BACK.



IN THIS CASE, BACK TO 2015.

You know your onions, couldn't be closer to the true facts. What will shock everyone is who he will choose as his running mate, believe me never El Rufai, he is too ambitious & powerful, and it's the North East turn to bring out the VP, North West Namadi Sambo (Kaduna), El Rufai (Kaduna), Buhari (Katsina), Yaradua (Katsina), A Kanuri, Shettima or Bulum from Borno State will be his running mate, even just to appease Boko Haram for a truce, the war has been going on for too long.

If Osinbajo wins APC presidential ticket in 2023, his candidacy will have strengths and weaknesses.

You are not being objective by having a fixed mindset on what you perceive will be his areas of weaknesses. You didn't consider what will be his areas of strengths.

If you want to do a clear, objective and unbiased analysis, you will have to do SWOT analysis of Osinbajo/APC candidacy.



Great leaders, Military Commanders, Political Juggernauts, Corporate Chief Executives and all highly successful people don't take critical decisions by thinking only in one fixed direction.

They even have extra plans for their own possible failures, they anticipate betrayals before it happen, they consider elements of surprise, they estimate the strengths and weaknesses of their opponents as well.

gidgiddy:


APC was all about getting President Jonathan out. APC would have never won if they hadnt fielded a Notherner like Buhari. Thats why the North voted for the party, for them, it was "operation bring back power to the North"

In 2023, there will be no Buhari and the North are not keen to lose power. If APC fields a Southerner like Osibanjo, then APC will be seen by 5he North as no longer representing their interests, which is about holding on to power as long as possible. The North will rally behind another Northerner and produce the president

No matter how much anyone thinks the North loves Osibanjo, they can never love him as much as one of their own remaining in power

If Osibanjo has no support from the North, how will he ever be president? The SS/SE wont vote for him and all the votes in the SW cannot make him president

I have more chances of visiting planet Mars than Osibanjo ever becoming President in 2023

There is no need for speaking in parables sir.



Democracy is a process, it's not an event. Elections should be like a sport, those who win today may not win tomorrow.

Democracy in Nigeria goes beyond the 2023 presidential election which like all other elections will be contested by political parties and not regions/tribes.


1) Are ALL Northerners in the APC?

2) Are ALL Southwesterners in the APC?
