PresidObi:
When you come to the issue of running mates, Peter Obi stands at a major advantage. His choice ticked the religious diversity box, ethnic diversity box, ticks the young and energetic box and also ticks the education and integrity box.

Coming to Atiku, his choice ticks all the boxes too, but Okowa is a featherweight when you come to regional politics, he cannot influence the votes of anyone in Delta, not to talk of the whole south south, and Wike will just eat him raw.

Coming to the issue of Tinubu running mate, what else can I say, when mass resignations and demolition of party structures and even party offices has become the reaction of many APC staunch members, this one is a major VP drawback, a dead weight that will drag down the ship of APC all the way to the elections and beyond.



Who’s more featherweight Okowa or Datti?

Is this a sincere truth coming from yourself.... especially on how you x-ray Okowa's strength and tactically said nothing about how best Datti can win votes in the North

It's fine....let's see what happens at the polls

Johnson Ironsi and Babafemi Ogundipe

Hello all'lets stop the hate chances of the APC presidential candidate winning the 2023 presidential election were very high.it's just principle We are in charge of 22 states of the federation. We have the majority in the National and State Houses of Assembly – they are not going to betray him.“Even in the South-East, that has never been our (APC) stronghold, on the day of the election, we are going there to protect our mandate.

Which is part of why Awo may have lost.

Military's rule. Civilians have no power to oppose. (In 1986, there were massive protests against the IBB regime...which ended in defeat.). Plus, Jack's real right hand man was Muritala Muhammed.

In 1979, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe and
professor Ishaya Audu ran on Christian/
Christian ticket.

Part of why Azikiwe lost too...plus he was not that popular...then NPP split into NPP proper and GNPP before the 79 ELECTIONS, and GNPP had a candidate. Not a nice way to win elections, with your party in division. (NPP made matters worse by allying with NPN later on ).

Johnson Ironsi and Babafemi Ogundipe
have also ruled on Christian Christian
ticket.

Millitary rule...plus it was in the 1960's Nigeria was a different country then. Religion did not start playing a big role in these things till the 1980s.

I think, the Northerners have been very
tolerant and accommodating.

Except under Buhari's 1984/5 regime...Buhari...Fulani with Idiagbon...Fulani (both Muslims too. Idiagbon was a Fulani...despite his Yourba sounding name). And then thanks to Northern opposition, Nigeria lost the chance to get back to civilian rule in 1993.

Victory is certain with the block votes from northern Nigeria

Depends. Buhari is not running...so votes may be split up from the North between Tinubu, Atiku and Kwankwaso. I expect a first round with no significant winners...meaning a runoff between Atiku and Tinubu.

What u guys should know is that Tinubu is a master strategist. He knows Christian North will never deliver and the best calculation is to play Muslim/Muslim card despite we know Christians south won't like this. Like it or hate it, Kwankwaso will finally step down for Tinubu for ministerial post and that alone will put Atiku and Obi in limbo. The votes of South is already divided cos the stronghold of PDP is south east and south south. At the end of the day, the permutation favour Tinubu. That's the reality, take it or leave it

Vote for physically, spiritually, mentally young Personality, a person that has the experiency, capacity&competency to fix this country, deliver the much needed dividends of democracy across the nation.

The OP is of opinion that Labour Party perhaps other unpopular political parties is unknown &this is Laughable, I can understand they dont have structures to the grassroots probably due to funding, but the electorates are the structures at the polling units, what they need to do is massive, vigorous&adequate publicity&sensitization at the grassroots.

WE ARE QUIET BUT NOT DUMB
In the second Republic, the late Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, the presidential candidate of NPP, picked a northern Christian, Prof. Ishaya Audu as his running mate, thereby flying a Christian-Christian ticket. However, the presidential candidate of UPN, the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, went a notch higher by flying not only a Christian-
Christian ticket, but also a southern-southern one, when he picked, as his running mate and Igbo man, the late Chief Umeadi. In both instances, however, Muslims in Nigeria did not abuse anyone nor threatened thunder and brimstones. Instead, they chose
from the array of the presidential tickets the one which they felt could protect their interests- NPN which flew a Muslim- Christian ticket.
wonder what is so difficult for those who
are aggrieved or outraged by Tinubu's
audacity, in borrowing a leaf from the
reaction of the Muslims in 1979 when the precedent was set.

We live in very interesting times...

If elections were rational in this country, Obi would win by a country mile because he is without doubt the best candidate for the position. He is exactly what Nigeria needs right now to get us back on the right track. I wish him the best but unless he is able to form some significant political alliances with some key power groups (Wike, Amaechi, Kwakwanso, Disgruntled APC Christians) I sadly don't see Nigerians voting him in unless a miracle happens. Perhaps if the electronic voting works and rigging/voter intimidation is reduced to the barest minimum he may stand a chance. I doubt it though... Just look at what happened to Osinbajo. That was another eminently qualified Nigerian who if given the opportunity could have made a difference but well you know how that went.

But we know that unfortunately many Nigerians are unenlightened which is what the APC has used to win previous elections along ethno-religious lines and of course by rigging and intimidation of voters.

Unfortunately I don't see this strategy changing in the next election for APC. They obviously failed woefully in delivering on their campaign promises of Change and next level in the last 2 dispensations so they don't have any credible base to base a manifesto on. They cannot go the propaganda route this time as the Nigerian Youths are wiser now so this time around it is strictly politicking that they are relying on to stock religious and racist embers and engage in massive voter/influencer buying. I wish Nigerians were wiser but unfortunately even with hunger in their belly they will prefer to vote in their brother or who their Imam told them to vote for better still if given monetary incentives. Perhaps the worst thing BAT could have done is to disenfranchise Nigerian Christians by going for a Muslim Muslim ticket but it is a calculated risk being that Christians in Nigeria are unfortunately not as United as Muslims otherwise Atiku would have won by a country mile. Time will tell if this greedy and insensitive decision will turn out to be a stroke of genius or not come 2023. As things stand, BAT has the best chance of winning if elections are not free and fair as he has shown he is desperate enough to win the election by any means possible.

Atiku would have stood the best chance of fighting BAT but he stupidly shot himself in the foot by choosing a weak VP candidate who cannot deliver Rivers, Maybe Bayelsa, Edo is fully obidient now, perhaps Delta though Omo Agege may have something to say about that. So the PDPs chances have been severely weakened by Atikus choices which have divided the party. However, if they get their act together, he stands a good chance of winning the north and a good percentage of APC Christians who are now disenchanted by the Muslim Muslim ticket. He still wields significant influence in the North and has the money to rig the elections but let's see how it goes.

As a christian, the way I see it is Tinubu taking advantage of political calculations., and being realistic...so his Muslim-muslim ticket does not offend me.

I won't be voting for him though. He was not that spectacular as governor, so also Shettima. If it was their succesors running...Fashola-Zulum or Zulum-Fashola....that might tempt me a bit to vote for APC. (Tempt, but at the end may not vote for them because I am still angry with APC for their economic failures.).

I'm not voting for Obi (for the same reasons as Tinubu) and for PDP (because they created the mess that brought us APC...plus Atiku is a poltical jumpologist)...before you start.
