Millimann: This is why I respect Obi. His leaving the big parties shows that he has self confidence. Even if he fails to win, his integrity remains intact. I am voting for him.
Please don't compare Obi with your preferred candidate. You can vote for your candidate because he will give you money. I will vote for Obi without expecting money from him because I believe he has the zeal to fix this country.
So anyone not voting Obi is doing sọ because he's being bribed?
That is the only ACN character that we can consider depending on who his VP is
Those 11 APC Northern Governors will choose from amongst themselves who will be Osinbajo’s Vice.
They will tell Tinubu that Muslim Muslim ticket is not acceptable, all politics is personal interest, any of you want to be Vice President, Bola Tinubu cannot be President.
The President has passed the buck to the Governors to deliver the news to Bola Tinubu.

The 11 northern Progressive governors' decision to zone the All Progressive Congress' presidential ticket to the South ahead of the party's primary scheduled for the 6th and 8th of this month has been roundly rejected by the northern youths.
Following a statement of resolution released by the governors on Saturday, after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari, northern youths said in a press conference that the governors should be completely ignored because their resolution is completely unacceptable.
The youths said in a video address to the press obtained by The Trumpet that the 11 governors' decision to shift power to the south after only two terms of President Buhari spent by the region is an act of selfishness and selfish interest. It went on to say that the south has been in power for 12 years, including the administrations of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, and that a northern candidate should be allowed to fly the APC flag in 2023.
The Northern Youth Alliance, or AREWA, has also stated emphatically that the 11 governors' statement will be a costly mistake for the APC, adding that it is not in the best interests of the country, but of the 11 self-centered individuals who wrote to the president.
The statement by Northern States APC Governors and Political Leaders read, "APC governors and political leaders from the northern states of Nigeria today met to review the political situation and to further support our Party in providing progressive leadership amidst our national challenges. During our discussions, we welcomed President Muhammadu Buhari's invitation to governors and other stakeholders to contribute to the emergence of a strong presidential candidate for the APC.
"After careful deliberation, we wish to state our firm conviction that after eight years in office of President Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the APC for the 2023 elections should be one of our teeming members from the southern states of Nigeria. It is a question of honour for the APC, an obligation that is not in anyway affected by the decisions taken by another political party. We affirm that upholding this principle is in the interest of building a stronger, more united and more progressive country.
"We therefore wish to strongly recommend to President Muhammadu Buhari that the search for a successor as the APC's presidential candidate be limited to our compatriots from the southern states. We appeal to all aspirants from the northern states to withdraw in the national interest and allow only the aspirants from the south to proceed to the primaries. We are delighted by the decision of our esteemed colleague. His Excellency, Governor Abubakar Badaru to contribute to this patriotic quest by withdrawing his presidential aspiration.
"The APC has a duty to ensure that the 2023 elections offer a nation-building moment, reaffirming that a democratic pathway to power exists for all who value cooperation and build national platforms. This moment calls for the most sober and inclusive approach to selecting our party's candidate, and we call on all APC leaders to fulfil their responsibility in this regard."
The resolution signed by governor Aminu Bello Masari, Katsina State; Abubakar Sani Bello, Niger State; Abdullahi A. Sule, Nasarawa State, Prof. B.G. Umara Zulum, Borno State; Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, Kaduna State; Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya, Gombe State; Bello M. Matawalle, Zamfara State; Simon Bako Lalong Plateau State; Senator Aliyu Wamakko, former governor Sokoto State; Dr. A.U. Ganduje, Kano State; and Senator Abubakar Atiku Bagudu Governor of Kebbi State was completely condemned by the northern youths.
The youth also declared their disdain for the governors, warning the ruling party not to take the risk of succumbing to the "self-centered" governors' appeal.
Meanwhile, Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President (Media and Publicity) has said that the outcome of the meeting between the president and aspirants on Saturday night was for the presidential aspirants to go and consult, build consensus, and come up with a formidable candidate.
Adesina said that was the president's address to the aspirants, clearing the air on rumors circulating that the president has backed a southern candidate.
who are these imbeciles, what are you idiots contributing to the economy
Buckeyemedia1: Southern President is exclusively for Christians.
Are you clandestinely trying to pit Muslims against Christians (PYO Vs. Tinubu), in your support for Tinubu or what da hell is the need for this sort of comment you made? I dont know what guys like you gain (maybe some small-small change) from instigating strife among fellow Nigerians. Very bad
Misterone: yeah, just like mpurumiri governors and addicts support Atiku instead of Peter Obi in the SE. GEJ defeated Atiku in the North in 2011, why can't a rugged Asiwaju do same in 2023.
Just continue deceiving, north east is taking that post, it is pay back time, same way you guys supported north west in 2015. Don't just complain because you guys did same to your own person Bakari and Obj

Why are you blaming me for the modus Operandai system of government you practice in your country?
The great Fela Kuti opened our eyes to the one Muslim, one Christian doctrine, his words are still there to be studied.
Or are you naive to the political system of Nigeria?
It is Christian South, Muslim North, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo a fellow Yoruba like Tinubu is who they are dashing the position to.
Ntoor!!!!! Things like this dey pain.. thank God i am Yoruba with a leader with big balls... he no dey afraid and he no dey chicken out like some people leaders...
Oluboh: *On The Request by 11 Northern Governors to Zone Presidency to South; Delegate Permutations That Will Favor Yahaya Bello*
1. Tinubu will not step down for Osinbajo, neither will Osinbajo.....
2. The south west and north west votes will be shared between both of them
3. The south east and south south will not support the southern zoning demanded by the 11 northern governors because it is obviously to the interest of Tinubu and Osinbajo
4. With a south west ticket, no VP for South East nor south south. It is then easier to get bloc support of south East and south south.
5. The north Central and north east can work together with the south East and south south for a Yahaya Bello flagbeareship.
6. Only the above can guarantee the south East or south south a VP slot.
The 11 Northern Governors have made a terrible mistake.

Ibos should vote Obi thier candidate. Kwankwasiya group will mobilize for kwankwaso
Let Atiku become president, let me see.
APC has 11 sitting governors in the north, are you saying all these people will work against their structure just to vote for Atiku? You must be day dreaming.
Then you don't know this Area people, If you think Northerners will pick Segun or Emeka when a Northerner is repping another party then you must be day dreaming

You have not considered the power of Dollar $ in your analysis
Buckeyemedia1: Probability is 100% that your demise will occur before Nigeria will divide.
Odumegwu Ojukwu tried it, where is he today?
It is arrant exhibition of ignorance to compare 1970s with 2020s. Nigeria is more divided now than then. You can see Biafra South South and Odua Nation saying they are going. If any war breaks out NA cannot win.

It's funny how people analyse the northern cooperation for their interests as it's a collective interest.
Politicians don't care about the interest of their region as long as it doesn't directly puts money in their pockets or gives them power.
