Igbos voted for Obasanjo twice against even other Igbo candidates. So rest.

They voted for Azikiwe in this case. All

This stuppid ethnic baiting (Tinubu supporter only campaign strategy and only hope of winning) will not work.

Different analytic perspectives
It seems more votes were cast in the southern part of the country

Lagos state was not the most populous when it hosted the federal government
Eboes and Yoruba have never supported each other
Kano did not support Shagari and he did not get 25% there a source of controversy later
Kano has not always followed the rest of the North
Shagari did not win in Kaduna, Plateau Borno
Azikiwe won in Plateau

Thats only for this. I have saved.

Shagari won that election of the 3 main states: Cross river(todays Cross river and Akwaibom), Bendel(today's Delta and Edo) and Rivers(today's Rivers and Bayelsa).

Very interesting in deed

Still we read of election rigging in North even When the North is yet to start using underaged voters, voters from Chad and Niger Republic.

Awolowo did a Christian-Christian ticket, I believe?

Every contestant maxed out their bases. Look at what Awolowo did in Lagos/Oyo and what Azikiwe did in Anambra/Imo.


Vote Tinubu 2023. Vote APC.

The only south south state Obi might win is Edo state due to the internal wrangling in the state’s PDP chapter. Even at that, it’s a big IF.

Atiku will still win Delta, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa and Rivers if they find a way to resolve with Wike. APC may likely win Cross River and come second in Edo, Delta, Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa.

Overall, PDP should win SS, APC second and LP a distant third. Nothing is going to change.

Peter Obi is sweeping every single SS state, except perhaps Delta, where he will come a close 2nd(you know why abi?).

2nd position everywhere will be Atiku, not Tinubu.

I'm just calculating the number of votes from each state between that period and now, questioning myself of the factors that could lead to such a vast difference.

I concluded corruption is involved. There's no way the north could be more populated than the south with such a huge difference. We need a more accurate census protected by NIN and BVN.

Good response to understand Nigeria you need to study and reset your mind so it is not projecting. What was the PREVIOUS voting behaviouris what you should know
Let me describe a small experiment
You are playing with 2 small children and they find some matches. So you say let us store it . You agree to hide it in the cupboard. Then child1 goes to the toilet when he is gone you say to child 2 let us hide it again. So you remove it from from the cupboard and hide it in the freezer.
After an hour You now ask child 2 "if I ask child 1 to bring the matches where will he look"?
What response do you expect and why?

Not everyone you respond to in politics...Atimes you allow them learn.

Obi and his igbos supporters will lose Anambra and Enugu Owerri and Abia

South south states is a sure lose... not even Edo..

Obi ain’t wining any state in 2023


Power to the people

Yorubas are delusional.

Vote for Awolowo who masterminded the genocide of over 3 million people?

You are guys are insane.

The results also proves that without Igbos votes, Yorubas are not going g anywhere.

The story is changing.

From PO will not win any SS state to PO will win only Edo.

LP will get more votes than APC in Delta, Akwa Ibom, Rivers. Bayelsa has large Igbo population but PDP will win their.

I don't know about CR.

But I am sure LP will beat APC in SS if Tinubu picks a Moslem VP. Only fools believe Moslem VP doesnt matter in the South.

The South is PDP vs LP.

So South South =
1. Bendel= Edo+ Delta

2. Rivers= Rivers+ Bayelsa

3 Cross River = Cross River + Akwa Ibom

There are Two parts to the South South

West of the Niger

East of the Niger.

This is for the attention of those
