This igberatv that carry both false and fake news is not even current.

El rufai already ceded presidency to the south.

Lawan is not contesting. He's not even amongst the those who have the potential to race or you think its about being a senate President, where is David Mark now?

Please remove orji. Even the Igbos don't want him.

BAT is a king maker. He should stay like that if he tries to mount the throne, all his reputation both good and bad would be distroyed especially the good ones.

Osinbajo remains the most capable and able man to lead this country. He's an action man.

Osinbajo is a set up. If APC fields him, PDP would have a swell time in the north. It will be very hard to convince a northern Muslim to vote for a pastor. Even Yoruba Muslims would be skeptical. Orji Uzo Kalu already has the support of key influencial figures in the north. They trust him because he was born and raised in the north and knows their struggles and needs. That is what matters. The north will decide whether we in the south like it or not.

Plz remove Elrufai!

Any ticket he's on would be viewed as Boko Haramic.

Elrufai right now, will never win any national election.

Try and keep up son and put personal hatred of others aside.

El Rufai, before all other Northerners, has already come out to declare unequivocally that the Presidency must go to the South in 2023.

He is likely angling to be VP to a Southern Presidential candidate.

The part in bold is ignorant of the history of Nigeria. The only thing constant in life is change. Nothing is rigid or set in stone in politics.

Did "unelectable" Buhari many tagged "eternal election loser" not become President. Buhari's ambition was even harder than Tinubu's to achieve yet we all saw GMB become PMB.

Ditto for GEJ in 2011. A total nobody with no political machinery whatsoever and the most unlikely President anyone can imagine. Yet he won the election when politically powerful men and women swung behind him.

Some of us don't understand Nigeria to appreciate what becoming her President entails. If the right number of the right sort of political elite back a candidate then that candidate will be President. Take that to the bank and watch this work for Tinubu in 2023. In fact Tinubu himself is counting on this while ordinary Nigerians continue with their "Kingmakers don't become Kings" myopia.

You guys keep mentioning Osinbajo without ever pragmatically understanding that the political elite must want and back him too as the beginning of the journey to the Presidency.

Many of you need to note the overaching picture for Pete sake. If Nigeria were ever simply about who the average Nigerian wants then Osinbajo would certainly get the nod. As it stands, I personally doubt that Osinbajo can ever get the APC ticket unless Tinubu stands aside.

The APC delegates who will vote at the Party primaries will not eschew ulterior motives in casting their votes. That part of things is purely related to deal-making and horsetrading Osinbajo is simply not capable of or has the capacity for.

Osinbajo will not scale the APC Primaries hurdle unless Tinubu and PMB want him to.

For me, the battle will be between Oshibajo, Tinubu and Amechi...others are just accompanying aspirants...

Orji Kalu doesn't have what it takes...and what will disqualify Tinubu is that he is a Muslim and the northerner Christain vice-presidential candidate may not pull weigh....so, it should be between Amaechi and Oshibajo...

At the end you left your god's name as the only qualified one. When you hear power belongs to God it doesn't mean power belongs to god.

These Biafra people like to dream a lot,do you seriously think that an Igbo man will ever come close to being the president of Nigeria?
Or are you just plain stupid?
Yes Amaechi can be president but he is not Igbo and we just had our turn in Goodluck Jonathan. I believe you are dreaming of Kalu as the president of Biafra not Nigeria, even Biafra is impossible. You guys are cursed , Hahahaha.

Biafra is impossible to say but Nigeria's eventual disintegration is not impossible. If you like laugh.

Lol. We can always trust you people to be sentimental, tribalistic and hateful above common sense and logical reasoning.

Pray tell us who will get APC tickets if indeed it is zoned to the South. Igbos? SS?

If the APC try to disenfranchise the Yorubas then the Party will suffer for it. Know that Northerners are not hateful enough to cut their nose just to spite their face as Igbos are prone to doing.

The North is pragmatic politically and knows the worth of the Yorubas to the APC. Unlike Igbos who are politically worthless with no reward at all to be gained supporting or empowering them.

If Yorubas won't get APC ticket I guess they will hand it to those from regions with no electoral value at all to the Party and will guarantee an election humiliation for the APC. Nonsense.

To be honest, those are the only candidates that will appeal to the political powerbrokers, kingmakers and elite of the APC. We all must remember they come first, at Party level, before Nigerians even get the chance to cast a single vote.

How does anyone, regardless of the love Nigerians have for them, get to become President if they cannot even get the ticket of the APC or PDP? APC will win in 2023 and the names you list above are the only ones suitable to APC Party delegated who will be under massive inducement from political Godfathers, benefactors, power blocs, interest groups etc.

Nigerians can mention Moghalu, Adesina, NOI, Kalu, Onu, Sowore etal all they want. If you are not running on the platform of APC or PDP then forget the Presidency. Simple. I can't speak for the PDP but I know the APC candidate will be a Yoruba with Amaechi having an outside chance while Igbos have zero chance of getting the APC ticket. Best they face PDP.

One thing is worth bearing in mind. Of all the APC candidates, Tinubu will be the most powerfully opposed. Yet he will also be the most powerfully supported. The most excitable always show their hands early hence the early gang up we are seeing against BAT now. Nonetheless it is the most calculative, patient and influential who always win in Nigeria. Go figure.
