He said kwankwaso is only known in Kano. But he pulled over 1 million votes in his first shot at the presidency. Let's assume it was only Kano that voted for him then. This time, he's coming into the race as a VP candidate presumably.

But as a sitting Vice president known all over the Nation, you got less than 3 million votes in 2007 presidential election.

One person can't keep holding this nation down.

Anthony Amakor, writing from Yola, Adamawa state

How can a man exercising his democratic right by contesting an election be seen as "holding the country down?" Do you realise that demanding that Atiku steps down is same thing as Tinubu wanting other opposition parties not to field candidates against him? If it is right to pressure Atiku not to contest, against his wish. Why shouldn't it be right for Tinubu to pressure Obi and indeed, other candidates from contesting, using every arsenal at his disposal? Power is not served on a plate.

There is a natural succession in Northern politics. With Buhari deceased, there is no single Northerner alive today that can pull more votes from the North than Atiku. Whether anyone chooses to deceive themselves or not, the ADC momentum is currently in the North. More Northerners are registered as members of the ADC. For this reason, if ADC holds a direct primary as stipulated by the Electoral Act, Atiku will win. Atiku ran against the tide in 2023 and still polled 7m votes while winning Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa and Osun states in the South. That was against an untested Tinubu that enjoyed tremendous amount of support from the North (5.6m votes).

Atiku And ADC in north is massive, he need A southern VP like Obi and he wins but no , obi want to be president.. that is to say , gathering of selfish people without any team spirit.. how I wish they could bury their ego and work together collectively and let not the past repeat itself..

Atiku/Obi will win Tinubu landslide


Obi/Kwankwaso will win Tinubu in a close contest



If I am to decide, I would prefer Atiku/Obi for a sure winning no matter Tinubu's rigging plans

Now it's Atiku's slander.

We do not just want to defeat Tinubu for the sake of doing that. We want to enthrone a better Nigeria and that can only be achieved through a righteous leader. Atiku is not that person.

The only politician giving tinubu sleepless nights and migraine is Peter Obi, Obi is a great threat to tinubu and this is fact.

Kwankwanso's strength is actually only in Kano state

And for the 1 million plus votes he got in 2023, almost half of it are under age voters

If Obi refuses to vice Atiku in this coming election, then, I can admit he works for PBAT.
Because I see no way he's winning the election against PBAT even if the election was conducted 10 times over.

Let him contest the primaries in ADC again. If he eventually wins the primaries, he will still not win TINUBU because it's the turn of the south. So he better wait until 2031, if he must have a hope of winning

Those underaged voters then have become aged voters now. A new set of underage voters will replace the underaged. You can guess what the outcome will be in 2027

So Atiku isn't selfish right?

Must he contest when he knows it's the turn of the south? That was what he did that destroyed PDP. Insisting to contest when he knows it's the turn of the south

At defining moments, the cup is either full or empty. In 2023, Atiku's INEC allocated vote count was 6.9 million, not 7 million. Peter Obi, on the other hand, was allocated 6.1 million votes by the same corrupt and fraudulent election umpire.

Now, his candidacy will result in serious voter apathy in the South. In fact, some people will vote against him in protest because of his perceived disregard for the regional rotation of the presidency. Most southerners believe that it is still the South's turn, and this will harm his chances of winning and even water down his vote count in the North, where a sizeable number of southerners will be voting as well. On the other hand, a Peter Obi candidacy will excite Nigeria's large youth population, a large and vibrant demographic.

In politics, hope, sentiment, perception, and excitement are needed to win a free and fair election. Peter Obi's charisma and personality, as well as his frugal politics, now endear him more to northern voters. This is also aided by his partnership with Alhaji Musa Kwankwaso and the Kwankwasiyya movement. Fair-minded northerners looking ahead to 2031 and wanting a younger northern presidential candidate have already accepted the Obi/Kwankwaso ticket.

In the north, Peter Obi won Nasarawa, Plateau, and the FCT in 2023. Some even say he won Benue. He also won in most states in the south, sweeping Delta State, where Atiku Abubakar's running mate in the last election, Ifeanyi Okowa, was the incumbent governor, and Tinubu's forte, Lagos.

Clearly, 2027 is a make-or-break moment for Nigeria. Nigeria deserves a strong, upwardly mobile president whose integrity, competence, and compassion for the country as an administrator are without blemish. It must be noted that the livelihoods of over 200 million people should not be gambled on the ambition or ego of any person, and definitely not that of an octogenarian serial contestant.

First time I align with you in this forum because many times you talk with the blood of a failing politician. Everyone that’s legible is free to contest an election. There should never be a situation whereby one has to be compelled, bullied to stop for another. Even though Atiku will not win like you said.

Ad for me Atiku is more cosmopolitan than the other one crying up and down.

tony0806:

See my friend, it's possible. That tide turned since the 2015 election using Buhari.
It's the same game plan the current rulers played to get to power.
Now, Jagaban isn't a gentleman (that's not in his dictionary) when it comes to retaining power.
You need a landslide victory against someone like that, otherwise the 'snatching and grabbing tactic' will easily erase your little marginal win.
An Atiku/Obi combo can surely give that landslide win, just like Yar'Adua/GEJ did in 2007.

As long as Peter Obi is on the ballot, whether as a presidential candidate or as running mate, I'm all for ADC.

Anywhere Peter Obi is, that's where we Obidients will pitch our tent.

Tinubu must be sent packing.

Where did she say Atiku will not win in her post? You read with a blurred vision obviously. 😅
You read with shaky hands and legs because you know that poster always has something important to say and you fear that so much. 😄😅

As for that one crying up and down, remember he's the first person to disgrace tinubu in Lagos down to Bourdillon! A first! Tinubu is really scared of him! But you keyboard warriors are free to mas tur bat e!

Apc didn't complain about it because it favoured them. Anything to reduce Atiku's votes

Bros. If it was the turn of the north, obi deputizing Atiku won't be a problem, how do you expect the South to vote for a northern, knowing fully well it's the turn of the south?

Votes are not transferable, alignments are. If ADC gives Atiku or any Northern the ticket, the obidients will vote enmass for Tinubu, and there's nothing ADC can do about it.

Atiku knows this, he is just helping Tinubu to win the 2027 elections

Oga, the obidients will vote for Tinubu if he tries it, he knows, that's why he said he would leave ADC if the primaries becomes transactional

Wonderful article. Love it!
People who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

This is what ATIKU and some of his followers are yet to understand

That was because there was Umaru Miss Yar’adua and Muhammadu Buhari on the ballot. If Kwankwanso try contest against those two that 2007, I doubt he’d garner a thousand votes. 😁😁

ATIKU/OBI ticket cannot work again. It's OBI/Kwankwaso that the people want.
