Kwankwaso being a VP to Obi will not be effectively enough to make Obi win the election. The Igbo factor will still make people not vote for Obi in NW and NE. It will amount to People in NW and NE seeing Atiku and Tinubu as no1 and 2 option. Kwankwaso will not be able to deliver much as a VP aspirant.

The fact that kwankwaso is in the race and is going to scatter APC and PDP votes in NW and NE is a plus for Obi.

This is the most efficient way to steal votes from APC and PDP and make those votes utterly useless because kwankwaso will not win the election.
This is just the most sensible comment i just read now, exactly what i have been telling people. Obi stand more chance if kwankwaso is in the race to scatter the northern votes

Since the NW and NE can't vote Igbo according to you, why then do we have to continue to have one country for Igbos and the people of NW and NE?
No country was ever created to remain indivisible forever. Roman empire, Soviet Union, etc dissolved. For how long do we gonna pretend that we have a country if people from one side will not tolerate people from the other side of the same country?
This 2023 election may be decisive on the integrity of Nigeria.

Kwankwanso just let bigotry get better of him.
If I was in his position, I would have given Obi the ticket and made someone like Abba Gida the vice.

The problem is that they were still calculating that the South was still collectively gullible and will join them in bigotry and also continue playing second fiddle.

They forget that they just completed an abysmal tenure and people have been forced to wake up.

Bigotry bigotry bigotry. Someome cannot habe his personal ambition or reasons without it being bigotry??

Why are you people like this?

The truth is that Abba gida would surely win the governorship so, no need to gamble. More so, Rabiu Kwankwaso is more experienced and better than Obi in all ramifications. Three, Obi is not sellable in the north and it will affect the newly formed party NNPP. IT is Obi that ought to accept VP position which would have guaranteed his winning because his people will vote him regardless.

Why should I live there? Does anybody lives there?
It's only Elephants, Antelopes and lions that lives in Anambra.
All the humans lives in lagos.

Exactly!
Even animals can’t survive there because the place is cursed.
Only ghosts and grass are there.

A strong Kwankwaso will favour Obi because then there would be no Northern bloc votes going to anyone.

But there is also the problem of winning at least 25% votes in at least 24 states.

This election might be going into a runoff eventually if care is not taken. And when that happens, Atiku would definitely be in the runoff and is favorite to win.

Person wey sabi
BAT best chance is to win the 1st ballot, if he doesn't then Atiku will take the run off.
PO is definitely not in the equation for a run off (if that happens) cos he wont have the spread required

Atiku is already the favourite to win this election.

However, my prayer is that God intervenes by turning things around.

A Peter Obi will instill sanity in leadership and place Nigeria on the pathway to success.

We deserve to see a sane and working Nigeria in our lifetime

I would also prefer Obi at the helm of affairs for sanity but National assembly is another hard bone to crack considering that LP has no member.

Same way Obi been in the race is a plus for Tinubu as without Obi on the baloba paper, the competition will have been kind of tight for Tinubu as Atiku will have made it kind of harder

But as God will do it, he uses Obi to destroy Atiku to favor Tinubu

Moreso obi is from the dot region another disadvantage

The youth will certainly vote wisely and cast for Tinubu as he's the most qualified between the Top 3 contenders which are Tinubu, Atiku and kwankwaso respectively.

Obi is in the class of Sowore et al

Same thing applies to obi in the south, won't tinubu factor diminish his votes especially in the SW? I feel atiku has an edge in all these permutations
Atiku has already lost about 5 million votes combined to Obi in SE and SS.
Atiku is also losing votes to Obi in NC.

Obi will beat Tinubu in southern Nigeria and its not even going to be close.
Tinubu is only popular in southwest and even in southwest, he cannot win with wide margin.

Even with Obi in th mix, Tinubu cannot boast of winning any region aside SW. Tinubu cannot win any region massively

Anyways for your information, when they mentioned South region , naturally they are referring to the Southwest part but other just share same name but government mean Southwest.

Peter Obi will beat Tinubu so badly in southsouth and southeast. The margin will be very high.

Tinubu is not loved by every Yoruba because of his questionable attributes and Muslim muslim ticket. And southwest a lot of non-yorubas.

Kwankwaso has this mentality of northern supremacy and that is why he refused to step down for obi, you can see his comments later on.
Mark my word any where, this is is best opportunity he just lost
He will never have another opportunity to aso rock for any reason

Think about it. If Obi/Datti ends there tenure,
and obi did well which we believe by God's grace, Ahmed Datti will easily get the youths support and after that, it will be a southern turn. That means the next opportunity for kwankwaso will be the next 16years. How old will he be then and will the youths pick him against younger contenders then? No

I am happy pride did not allow him. He is not a good person at all

You are right.

Maybe it was God that made him stubborn so that he would not accept to deputize Obi so that he won’t go close to power.

I think finally God has remembered this country because Obi and Datti are just perfect together.

Let’s pray they win.

Besides, he would have been too influential to be loyal to Peter Obi if they won.

God just perfected his work by making him refuse to align with Obi.

ATIKU is not the favorite to win. All permutations are pointing towards a PO win

SS and SE used to be PDP's strong hold not this time, it is in favor of PO. SW will be keenly contested with Tinubu winning with a slim margin closely followed by PO. NC will not want another Fulani Muslim after what they went through with APC and will not buy a MM ticket because they are majorly Christians. So logically, the bulk of the votes goes to PO.
Core North will be keenly contested with Atiku winning but with a slim margin because of so many factors like education, insecurity, Kwankwaso, religion and ethnicity.

I don't see ATIKU winning this election

My only comment is this: the South needs to unite under one banner. The North (Fulanis) is using Tinubu to divide your votes against Obi. Their main candidate is Atiku. We the sensible ones up North are going with Obi, there is no need to know how many we are, the election results will show that.
Please Yorubas, do the right thing. End this Fulani supremacy. You owe them NOTHING. Don't follow Tinubu into slavery.

The problem is that they were still calculating that the South was still collectively gullible and will join them in bigotry and also continue playing second fiddle.

They forget that they just completed an abysmal tenure and people have been forced to wake up.
Where he got it wrong was the fact that other political parties agreed that presidential candidates should come from the South but he thought it was going to be a business as usual.
APC made the smart move even though some of the governors were not happy with the decision at first coupled with the fact that their candidate is weak and old but he is from the south.
Kwankwaso and Obi have great popularity in the North and South respectively, which could have resulted in a small structure but mighty combination but he made a terrible calculation.
As it stands today, two major parties are contesting in the forthcoming election; PDP and APC and the latter has a higher chance as a result of the internal squabbles within the former.
