Question: Realistically, Can Bola Tinubu Actually Win This Election? by Nobody: 11:14pm On Jul 20, 2022
Is this too early to say It is Impossible?

I was having a conversation with someone this morning & we were looking at the Osun polls. Judging from the Osun state elections, it shows that APC still has strong votes of 375,027 in total, while Adeleke's PDP had 403,371 votes. Most of this same people, if not all will still vote for APC in the coming general elections, meanwhile the other votes might be scattered in the other parties including Labour Party. Yussuff Lasun, the LP candidate, came a distant fifth with 2,729 votes, representing about 0.34 per cent of the total valid votes, according to the results released by INEC.

APC lost on 100,000+ votes, meanwhile Bola Tinubu has decided to go with all Muslim-Muslim ticket, against all odds, Ignoring Northern Youths warnings.

Two Questions:

1/ Realistically, can Bola Tinubu actually win this Election, and on what metrics?

2/ Does the Osun State outcome by Labour Party a verdict on presidential ambition, is there any hope?

Atiku of PDP will surely be voted by the North, so no questions asked about this.

Personally, on a scale of 1 - 10, he's a good 6.

Obi should win, but the Nigerian reality will disagree.

Campaign never even start.

I expect Tinubu to sweep all 6 states of SouthWest, Kwara, Kogi, Niger, Borno, Yobe, Kaduna, Katsina, Kebbi, Nassarawa, Zamfara.

If he wins those 16 states and takes 35% in all other Northern states he loses, he takes majority votes nationally.

He then takes 25% in Edo, Delta, Akwa-Ibom and Cross-River and that puts him over the 24 states out of 36 states he needs to score minimum of 25% of votes cast to avoid any runoff.

With Peter Obi playing his spoiler role for PDP as planned in the South, while Kwankwaso does same to PDP in the North, the path is clear for Tinubu to actualize a life ambition he was patient enough to pursue without political prostitution or opportunism that has dogged the Atiku and Obi campaign.

Atiku of PDP will surely be voted by the North, so no questions asked about this.

1. Yes. State elections are different from federal. While Buhari was sweeping Northern states for APC, PDP was winning some Governorship like in Bauchi amd Sokoto

So I expect all SW states to deliver for Tinubu. Plus Niger Kwara Kogi Nasarawa, 3 states in NE and 4 states in NW. 6 + 4+ 4 + 3 = 17 states.

I expect Obi to sweep all SE states and maybe 1 SS states = 7 states

Atiku wins 5 SS states, 3 NE states Benue and Plateau in NC and 1 NW state = 12 states

The only thing that will stop Tinubu presidency is if Obi and Atiku merge

2. No hope for Labor. They will finish a distant 3rd behind PDP and APC and they can not get 25% in 25 states

You are not wise.

Kwankwaso will be taking a bulk of old Buhari voters. He is not playing any spoiler to Atiku but to Buhari's 12 million voters.

You must be naive to think Tinubu will win Katsina and Zamfara. Those two states don't want to see APC today.

Buhari is currently the most hated president in the those state today. Travel, una no gree.

If you think Igala will vote for APC, then you are not wise.

Tinubu will not get any vote in SS with his Moslem Moslem VP.

The path is even clearer for Obi than Tinubu, a Yoruba fake Moslem.

It's analysis based on numbers and not emotions

Outside Social Media APC knows their main opponent is PDP that's why Tinubu picked Shettima to counter Atiku in NE and stop him from a clean sweep

This is why Reno and Deji have been trying to tell Obi people to step down

Obi is taking those people who would never vote Tinubu and would have voted Atiku. So Rise of Labor is hurting PDP more

Kwankwaso Obi and Atiku were all in PDP in 2019. Now 3 of them are contesting and sharing those votes

Most times I laugh when I see Tinubu's SW supporters claiming that he (Tinubu) would sweep northern votes.

Since the history of Nigerian elections, the only Southerner to ever receive massive northern support is Obsanjo, and the reason why the north rallied around him was because he was in the military and since it was the military who conducted the elections in 1999, they decided to support their own. Secondly the north felt they've been unfair to yourbas. Remember Abiola had just died the previous year (1998) and tensions were rising so they just decided to allow the yourbas rule.

Since then, they've never backed any Southerner. When Jonathan won the presidential election in 2011 he had the whole southern support plus a handful of NC Christian states. The core north didn't vote for him. And the reason why he lost in 2015 is that the SW who voted for him in 2011, formed an alliance with the north and voted massively for Buhari leaving him with only the SE and SS. That's why he lost.

If Tinubu is thinking that the north would choose him over Atiku and Kwankwaso, he had better wake up from his slumber. Aside the SW and NC States like Kogi and Kwara, it would be very difficult for him to win any other northern state.

The kaduna they're projecting has El-Rufai who feels jilted for not being selected as Tinubu's running mate and might play the nonchalant role by secretly working for Atiku leaving the Southern Christian section to vote for Peter Obi and the northern part to be shared between Atiku and Kwankwaso.

The Brono he's projecting Bloc votes from are secretly rallying around Atiku, and the Northern Christians who would have given him massive support if he had picked any of them as running mate would either join forces with Atiku or Peter Obi.

The SS and SE would be where he would record the worst performance cos in SE states like Imo and Ebony who have APC governors, the governor of imo isn't performing and no imolite would want to have anything to do with APC because of him, and that of Ebonyi is in crisis and on the verge of leaving the party to pursue his Senatoral career in another party.

The SS has only one sitting governor the governor of cross river state and he's facing the same crisis the governor of Ebonyi is facing. So it's most likely that he'll decamp from APC as well so as to pursue his Senatoral career.

This technically means that tinubu has almost zero votes from the SE and SS, he would struggle with PDP and LP for votes in the SW and loose massively in the whole north. So tell me how he's going to become the next president.

The mystery about Tinubu I'm still trying to understand is how can you be a Muslim and say because you want northern votes you select a Muslim VP? Is it that the north doesn't recognize yourba Muslims are geninue Muslims?

Cos in Christianity whether you're from the south or north as long as you confess Jesus as the son of God and believe in him, you'll be accepted wherever you go.

Tinubu's rejection by the northern caliphate that he had to choose another northern Muslim to appease them is a slap on the face of yourbas and if they're smart they'll emancipate themselves from the north and stop attacking their fellow Southerners just to please them.

Pure facts!

They are doing the opposite of what APC did to unseat PDP from federal power.

APC was a political fusion in 2013 with ACN, CPC, ANPP and Imo APGA. While PDP is currently having a political fission in 2022 with Kwankwaso NNPP and Obi LP being the splinter from the main.

Tinubu will not win up to 3 states in Nigeria outside Yoruba land
And might not even win up to 3 states in Yorubaland

Power to the people

E go clear

Waziri has no opposition to 2023 Presidency

Tinubu is not even an option to the northerners

Maybe some of this monikers writing rubbish should leave social media and nairaland and come over and understand how stupid the Yoruba god is

But since they can’t ... make we all wait for 2023

The problem is you Igbo analysis is that you project your Igbotic failure unto others. Tinubu will beta both Kwakwaso n Atiku in many Northern state. Tinubu will win Atiku in both Borno n Katsina handsomely. The others state I do not have a project for those but Igbo hatred of Nigeria can not n will not be transferred on Tinubu.
