The biggest loosers in this election is the core  north  who finally capitulated to the nee ruling alliance of SS, SE and MB .
The core north is no more a political super power and they are not an economic force.
If they confinue their bombing , they will shrink to a pariah state.

The biggest beneficiary is the SS who by providence are now emerging Nigerias Economic, political and military (militant power). Depending on how deft they are in the driving seat of Aso rock will determine how they will maneuver 2015 .
The SS has 5 international airports, the new petroleum/ gas empire will be built in the SS.

The truth about the MB is that this is their opportunity to free themselves from the yoke of the core north politically and economically.
If they can leverage on their support of GEJ they can finally break the bonds of Ahmadu bello.

I don't really know where to place the SE because igbos are both in SE and SS but depending on their bargaining power they might emerge as a new power block now that the core north is deflated. The east has to go to the drawing board now that ovation is loudest.

For the SW, really it is premature to start throwing party when you are now under emperror Tinubu. You are now a regional empire. No longer in the national power circle. Lagos your economic hub is gradually being over taken by SS ( the 5 stars of niger delta, bayelsa, rivers , delta, A ibom whose GDP surpasses all of SW).
You are back to where you were in 1960 and 1979 where really can that take you.

Moving over from the things I've said on this thread, having a one party region is not always a good thing, especially a party that has a emperor-like figure. Apart from that, I think the South west will be okay, but I don't think it's time to start wearing uniform for celebrations.

ezeagu:

There's no south east zone or south west zone in Nigeria's official governance so having different parties leading in the geopolitical zones doesn't make a difference to individual states. It's better to vote for people that perform, Amaechi and Chime are PDP, but with Fashola, they are the best governors in Nigeria. The people on this thread seem to think that ACN is a 'Yoruba' party, so therefore ACN will magically perform or somehow having all the south west under ACN will make the south west grow roads, but I'm not sure Nigeria works that way. The south west is voting for broom, and the south east is voting for candidates.

"Only the like of you see ACN as Yoruba" .Who in the south east was crying for APGA? I agree that in some states the best choice they could do was to choose someone from the next party from PDP, which is why in Imo they want APGA, but apart from that the south east mainly focuses on the candidates.

After the elction of April 9th. The Igbo were lamenting the overwhelming victory of PDP and some ACN in their region.
"So who is now the voice of the SE"  "SW has one voice" etc.

SW wanted ACN, they got it. SE wanted APGA, they didnt get it. They settled for PDP and ACN.

I laugh at your statements because they make no sense whatsoever. What state in the SE has an ACN gov? Chime is in PDP, we wanted him,we got him. We(Igbo) wanted Amaechi,we got him. PDP was never our problem.May have been your problems but not ours. Promoting an Igbo political party together would have been ok ,but its not really needed. Maybe you have been blinded by your own ignorance, regardless off our governors party affiliations, they always have SE governors meetings. It's something that is constantly in the newspapers. Did the SW governors do that? uh-uh, no. Unity is something we already have. So we spoke with ONE voice and are still speaking with ONE voice. Mind your own and worry about your own people.

Congratulations to the Yorubas,I salute the courage and independece of judgement of the Yorubas.That the Yorubas are the most political savvy and sophisticated of all the tribes in Nigeria is an understatement,Papa Awolowo will also be celebrating with his people at the other side.I hope that Ndigbo will wake up from their deep slumber,and liberate themselves from the cursed PDP

dayokanu:

Instead of going in circle jerks, Can you show us one PDP candidate in the SW that was better than the ACN candidate but didnt win

Dosunmu vs fashola

Olurin vs Amosun

Akala vs Ajimobi

Just one

Ileke-IdI:

Instead of writing without thinking, you should have read his post.
He assumed that it was a tragedy that SW is a one party region. Nobody is talking about Gov. or representatives.
Does SW not have PDP, ACN, and LP?

If I was you, I'd be more concerned about the inconclusive result, violence and rigging going on in the SE region.

If you guys are hurting so bad, why not simply log off and let us "laff" hmm? Se ko si?

So you wont show us an instance where SW voted party over personality?

I gave you the 3 contests in the SW now show us anyone who won that was not better than the opponent

Moreover I can see the votes for personality in Imo where Ohakim's personality, Orjis personality won ppl over

seanet02:

Only God knows the type of brain some bigots used to compare Fashola with Amaechi? Somebody have the highest numbers of civil service, the highest number of teachers , the highest numbers of Doctors even more than Federal government, the highest number of Secondary schools, the highest number of Primary Schools, the biggest infrastructural needs coupled with the highest cost of living in Africa yet was given just $3 billion with a state that has less than a quater of its population with less civil service, less infrastructural needs yet the former is the highest payer of labour in the country paying more than the federal government which has not start paying the new minimum wage yet Lagos is still rated the best. I tell you it sucks to be ibo.

And still, with only a few lines, you seem to not make sense. SW, a one party region? I guess Mimko is no longer in LP. But hold up you went from a "one party region" to " does the SW not have PDP,ACN, and LP".Which is it? I'm lost. So where is the whole "one party region" coming from again?

zstranger:

LP = ACN

Ode!
