The Duo of Atiku Abubakar and Bola Tinubu are influential Politicians, each accomplished in his own right, they are very rich, and have limitless contacts. It is crystal clear that both of them have been relevant in the scheme of the 4th Republic Political Landscape. Ahead of the Forthcoming 2023 Presidential Poll, Tinubu and Atiku might slug it out for the Top Seat under the APC and PDP platforms respectively. Let's take a look at their individual profiles

1. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu

In the last 21years(1999 - Till date), All Progressives Congress (APC) Chieftain who is popularly known as "Jagaban" has risen to become a Legend in the Nation's Political Space, A Former Lagos West Senator (1992 - 1993) and Two-term Governor of Lagos State (1999 - 2007), Tinubu survived several Political Tsunami including as the only Alliance for Democracy (AD) Governor that won a re-election in 2003. The 68years-old Politician also facilitated the formation of the All Progressives Congress, a Party that Successfully dislodged the then ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP). The Osun State-born Tinubu has been long expected to run for the country's number one seat.

2. Alhaji Atiku Abubakar

"Atiku" is an Household name in the Nigeria's Political Circle, the Adamawa State-born Businessman and Politician was Nigeria's Vice-president between 1999 and 2007 under the Administration of Former President Olusegun Obasanjo. Unlike Tinubu who has never contested for Presidency , the 74years-old Atiku has made Four consecutive attempts to become Nigeria's President either as an Aspirant or Candidate, but was unsuccessful. Not giving up on his Ambition, the People's Democratic Party (PDP) has not hidden his intention to succeed the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari come 2023.

Who among them do you think stands a better chance of succeeding Buhari in 2023

it's written Atiku will never be president of this country

God forbid the two instances

Let forget this old men

If it comes down to Atiku(PDP) vs Tinubu(APC) in 2023, Atiku will win with a landslide

The reason is simple, the North would still want to retain power after Buhari and will vote heavily for Atiku.

Tinubu has always been a nobody in the SE/SW and is most likely not going to get any votes outside the SW if he runs against Atiku

If it comes down to just ATIKU (PDP) ... TINUBU (APC) Tinubu will be perplexed

ATIKU VS BUHARI ... freeeeee and fair election in katsina ... Buhari will be Shocked

The only Politician I’m sure could give Atiku a run for his money is Kwankwaso of Kano ,that nigger has a cult like followers like Buhari

I HOPE I MADE SENSE

Unfortunately you are almost right.

The SS and SE will determine the winner, not North nor South West

Atiku that Buhari defeated in his(Atiku) polling unit? Go and check last Presidential election result

I agree but answer his question.

He created the thread for a purpose

I said freeeeee and fair elections... Buhari that wasn’t sure his own wife would vote him ?

And you think all northerners are in support of Atiku?

Winning elections is beyond the region you come from, if not Jonathan wouldn't have became a president.

It's about lobbying, serious underground work and how you can strategically win the electorates and major political influencers to your side.

This is just too simple to analyze. Let's just do it this way
Like For Atiku.
Share For Tinubu.

Atiku will win, but I hope he(Atiku) doesn't get the PDP ticket.

One doesn't have to fear the north. Infact, one of the reasons why the north seem to dominate the political space is because of the too much respect whether consciously or unconsciously given to them by the southerners.

Now, they act as king, and even in this 21st century, despite the level of education here, we still have that psyche.

But the good news is that, it's on record that Abiola from the west defeated his northern opponent with a wide margin.

So if other southern part still believe in this northern dominant hoax, then it's left for them. But the WEST will always prove them wrong!

All that lobbying & underground work has a lot to do with rigging. That was APC's main strategy to beat Obaseki but the masses changed the game.

If you think the Northerners are going to vote for a Yoruba man over a fellow Northerner, like Atiku, you're mistaken

All Buhari has to do is to raise Tinubu's hand and tell the north that he will keep his legacies alive and there you have it. The north will follow the instructions of their greatest leader since Ahmadu Bello. But I know that Buhari is going to hand over to the SE so the case of Tinubu doesn't arise.

If that's what it means to you, then I'm sorry I can't correct you.

Orji Kalu was seen moving around, entertaining visitors from different sections of the country, what does that mean to you?

Or you think winning elections means sitting in one corner and be threatening other parts of the country to do your bidding?

And for the rigging, are you new to the political space to realize that the two main political parties starting from the PDP do rig elections?

Are you aware of the shameful Maurice Iwu era when he conducted the then general elections?

Pls, ask the elders around if you're too young.

We don't want the 2 of them......


We need someone who can deliver
Young with touch of current global Trend
Someone who will uphold true democracy
Who is for the people and not for selected people who would see him as lord


We need fresh experience not all this recycled ideas with trial and error.

So with that kind of mentality, you expect the west to sit down and fold our arms like cowards?

That sounds more like a failure. Giving up without a fight!

The west have done it before during the time of Abiola, and same can be done again.

The other southern parts can continue with that kind of wrap mentality, that's not for the west!

Nah eh! No qualms
This is so unsophisticated

Both are dead on arrival

both of them don't deserve it

Both don't deserve it
Unfortunately, Atiku will win with northern influence.
Tinubu will clear all SW states.
I pray none of them win

You forgot to add to Tinubu profile that he once presented Atiku the opportunity to run for presidency through his party ACN .

Not when the other contestant is Tinubu..

You completely don't understand the political permutations of winning election in Nigeria. North is more united with three zones compared to the south whose three zones look like three countries.
One can't win election in only one region but 25% votes have to cut across all zones or atleast 4/6 of the zones; this formula has reason and the reason is to avoid winning election based on ethno-religious sentiment.
Overlooking Northern political power and sagacity is a political suicide. If North decide to retain power for many decades, North have many permutations that if inserted into political atmosphere of Nigeria definitely it'll work but for the sake of peace and regional balance power ought to rotate.
Don't ever tempt some gullibles to commit that political suicide of ignoring the power of Northern influence in the political landscape of Nigeria.
North!

Because abiola didn't win in the south east abi

Delusional at it peak

You keep making the same mistake in your fixed postulation about presidential election.


Yoruba is an ethnic group. 'Northerners' is just an appellation that group hundreds of ethnic groups together.


It would have made sense if you had said if Fulani voters will vote for a Yoruba candidate ahead of a fellow Fulani candidate.


There are many tribes in the North that won't vote for another Fulani candidate to succeed Buhari, a very nepotic Fulani leader.
