If Tinubu eventually emerge as the flagbearer of APC, he should not think twice, a Muslim deputy from the north who is economically sound and with strong political structure should be considered to give him a fair edge since we know north plays religious card unapologetically. For the avoidance of doubt, southwest do not play religious card therefore indifferent to that choice. Tinubu's wife is a christian, Fasola's wife is a christian, Tinubu is not a religious fanatics as far as I kno. A lot of Muslims and Christians in southwest have married one another without rancour. What matters most is performance and ability to deliver dividends of democracy.
A christian can be made SGF or senate president to douse any tension or suspicion. People may say that's selfishness on his part and therefore will be resisted by all means bit ask youself this fundamental questions. Has Nigeria fare better economically through religious expansion and aspirations. Has religion bring the needed peace in Nigeria? Why are we deceiving ourselves and allow these politicians to play us? What benefit has buhari-Osinbajo pairing afforded us? Why can't we think deep and allow competence rule over religion.

You’re correct . But south east and south south people are humans too na.

Atiku should be the one to consider someone from the south. Someone like Wike.

But he will compress wike's power ehn. He’ll make him powerless.

Atiku shouldn’t have won that primaries

For me muslim -muslim ticket is not a big deal, even if APC field a christain against atiku who is a fulani muslim, SS/SE a 90% predominantly christains will still not vote for APC christain candidate because he doesnt belong to their traditional political party.

PDP shunned zoning to return to power, if APC field muslim-muslim ticket to stay in power it is not out of place.
Muslim-muslim ticket has been tested before and the election was the best ever in History of Nigerian politics

Not a gamble. It’s about Southern president in the south and Muslim president in the north.

Jagaban 2023 is a goal !!!

Op man weh mumu. Is Tinubu contesting for south west president or Nigeria president ?. Muslim Muslims ticket doesn't matter if he is contesting for south west president. I've lived in South West and most of my close friends are Muslims.

But we are talking about Nigeria president here . Christians and Muslims are always at eneminity in other part of Nigeria. Muslims Muslims or Christian Christian ticket is a big red flag and dead on arrival.

Muslim-Muslim ticket is a NO NO

Actually, there is nothing Tinubu can do about the vote of South East. If he wins the APC primaries his best bet and only way he can win is to get a strong muslim from the north. No matter what Tinubu does, he can never win any significant vote in South East. He will struggle in South South. He will get at least 70% of South West. His only way to the presidency is the block vote from the North and to get that he needs a strong muslim northern politician.

NB: any other candidate presented by APC from the south is a walk over for Atiku. Amaechi might still put up a feeble fight, but 'Pastor' Osinbajo would be beaten blue and black.

ATiku will win in the north wether Tinubu pick Christian or Muslim vice from the north. The only hope of Tinubu is to win the entire south (SE+SW+SS) and then try to split ATiku vote a bit in the north. But Tinubu miscalculated because he was hoping that PDP will pick their candidate from the south .so he focused all his campaign in the north and south west, neglecting the rest of south .and it's too late now for him to start campaign in South East and South south because we have seen his true hate

A Muslim-Muslim or Christian-Christian ticket is a bird that won’t fly.

Any party that tries that has committed political suicide. This is not a Nigeria of 1993, no propaganda can convince people.

Buhari has divided the country beyond using propaganda to convince people.

Any norther Christian chosen as running mate to a southern Muslim won’t be sellable to the core north who are in the majority.

Someone said Yakubu Dogara is being positioned to be running mate to Tinubu, well, let’s see how it goes.

You might be right about him still losing North to Atiku, but as I said no matter what Tinubu does, he can never get 30% vote in SE, whether he started campaigning and rolling on the ground there for the last 4 years or he starts now. SS he can still make headway if he starts now, especially if he works underground with aggrieved PDP people like Wike.

All said and done, the North is the master of this game of politics in Nigeria. The plan for North take over has been well laid, and nobody in the south can become president if they don't want you to.

God forbid bad thing. Nigeria is not Afghanistan, you evil people have been pushing this kite for some days now but your devilish plans will never work, take that to the banks

Oshinbajo and zulum/Elrufai will beat ATIKU blue and black Tinubu will be defeated blue and black by ATIKU

Osinbajo has a better chance of defeating Atiku Tinubu would do. If you think otherwise bring out your points and let's debate it

Mossadd:

You don't know how politics of the North is played. The campaign against "Pastor" Oshinbajo will not be done openly. All they have to do is to be whispering it to the Northern voters that he is a pastor and his plan is to establish church on every street in Nigeria With that no matter who is vice is from the North, in fact, let both Zulum and El rufai combine to be his vice, he would lose scandalously.
