derecho: Kperoogi no get PVC na.Hin no go know as people dey vex here.
Ekiti isn't Nigeria and would vote differently during the presidential elections. They may not have voted for party per say but for the best devil of the whole lot. Segun Oni,for example,has ruled before and didn't do well.Hence, the people see him as not different from the rest.
The Presidential election would be different.Tinubu was rejected in favor of Fayose.Did Tinubu not spend money then?
Segun Oni didn't do well as a governor? Lol. Are u for real? Please get ur facts right.
seunmsg: David Hundeyin is just a bully. Seun said nothing wrong. Peter Obi is a presidential candidate and all allegations linked to him should be subjected to investigation. N250million is no small money so why should the allegation not be investigated? Why should Peter Obi be excluded from investigation while others are subjected to various investigation and online abuses?
When did David Hundeyin become EFCC to help u investigate Peter Obi?
ObidientFC: The presiding Pastor of Family Worship Centres today admonish her members not to vote for APC and PDP and rather should go and waste their votes on a Structureless Party (Labour Party)
Peacecore: I said this before that they shouldn't underestimate the roles of stakeholders n politics of interest. What do the northern leaders stand to gain from working for Atiku? Lose their Guber posts, State n assembly seat, NASS bids in d name of scrambling for appointment?. Make we dey think abeg.
An incumbent vice president sacrificed his personal ambition and worked for the interest of the north in 2015. Many Northern PDP governors worked for APC in 2015. Make of that whatever u like. The rest is now history.
Benbellamor: better Fulani will be Fulani How can Atiku chose okowa with 3 votes leaving wike with 16 votes?...this is the same thing that buhari is doing by neglecting popular views and cling to the cabals....the northern chairman has shown signs of forming cabals in PDP..... No way I either follow tinubu or I don't think nnpp can fly higher in south.... Wike is a force and I am sorry for PDP....
Where in the world have u ever seen a runner-up in a primary chosen as the running mate to the winner? Give me an example.
Peacecore: Wike will be like Umahi u were right and I was wrong. Go to Jagaban's camp and prepare a soft landing for me, they must pay seriously for this treachery.
Wike doesn't play that kind of politics. He is a loyal party man. Go and check his antecedents.
garfield1: The north has always rallied round a radical Muslim,a pious,sharia driven fellow usually Hausa fulani or kanuri.first was usman danfodio,then ahmadu bello and to an extent late gen yaradua and maitama sule and then buhari.kwankwaso is gradually getting such followershio in the mould of aminu kano...atiku does not fit that features,he is seen as too liberal minded and western minded unlike conservative buhari.moreover,he is not from the core north nor from the Muslim dominated states.Adamawa is evenly divided...
Atiku contested in 2007 and won no state.he lost the entire northeast while buhari won some states in the north west.in 2019,he won Adamawa narrowly same as taraba.borno and yobe literally buried him whilst giving him his lowest votes...
Again,the north have read the mood of the nation and seen that power must go down south for Nigeria to remain as one which favours the north more.highest they will do is extract some firm commitment from tinubu not to rock the boat...
Again,the north knows that it is the turn of the south and they are honest people.if they were so powerdrunk,they would have voted atiku in 2019.. Again,apc is so entrenched in the north and pdp weak...
muykem: South East has been a strong hold of PDP since 1999. They have never lost presidential election in any of their 5 states. They were not considered for president ticket and even worst still VP slot has eluded them, Peter Obi privity to this arrangement caused his exit from the party. Who is to blame?
Some of u are campaigning for Peter Obi/Labour party and still want PDP VP slot at the same time. It doesn't work that way.
CutieKing: This Adamu na mumu of the highest order. Na like that dem dey announce candidate?. Na top of him head dem go settle apc wahala. Seems he's acting out a script though.
So at ur age, u still believe Adamu can announce the presidential consensus candidate without Buhari's consent?
Let me help u, Adamu is simply acting a script personality written by Buhari.
sogodihno: Buhari is not anointing anybody, when will you guys have sense and stop waiting for anointing that will not flow, if Buhari has a candidate, he would have made it known since yesterday.
We Know Adamu will become national chairman a week to the election.
Anyway, anything to make some people Happy.
Buhari told APC governors last week that they must allow him to choose his own successor the way he(Buhari) allowed them to choose their successors in their respective states.
hisexcellency34: Game on. Let's see who blinks first. Tinubu won't go down without a fight
Tinubu has no one to fight with. If the governors fail to agree on a consensus candidate, then Buhari will use his discretion to pick any candidate he likes and impose same on the party and nobody would complain.
Bonesbreaker: Peter obi never messed up his Rooting for presidency which we will vote for him
With Labour party, Peter Obi cannot even come fourth in the presidential election.
The guy really messed up by leaving the PDP. He should have just withdrawn from the presidential contest and remain in the PDP. By now PDP would come to his house and beg him to receive the VP ticket.
Patrioticbreed9: We have been cheated alot. The north has no regards for us one bit, imagine ruling for eight years and the northerners still has the impetus to come out to contenst again.
Truth to be said we gave them the go ahead. Till we realise we are sotherns first, this mess will keep on repeating its self.
As a southern i want you to make up your mind that no matter what power must come south!.
The northerners have been preying on our disunity for long! Its time we unite! If tinubu win i go kill chicken, if obi win i go kill chicken, if osibanjor win i go kill chicken same with amaechi.
Check the candidates and their vairous twin nations, the north west i will pity them and mention 4(niger,mali,guinea) . Northeast(chad) are they doing well?
South west( ghana an cote devour) south east & south( gabon & equitorial guenea)
By standard the vibes of the sw & se/ss related nation are doing better than the north own.
How comes a group of people have no single related useful nation in africa? Is that the vibe we want?
This is how Akeredolu was shouting southern presidency all over the place, he even formed southern governors forum for that part. You would think he genuinely loved southern unity, not knowing the weyrey was codedly agitating for Yoruba presidency.
PermSec01: my argument too.... There are credible northern Christians that are widely accepted in the North... Prominent among dem is Yakubu Dogara.... I believe Tinubu-Dogara ticket will fly and can help APC retain the centre
Who told u Dogara is wildely accepted by the Muslims in the north? Tell him to contest for the governorship of bauchi stayed and u will weep for him.
EfonAlaaye2023: NNPP will divide Atiku vote in North, LP will divide Southeast vote, Tinubu will get 25% in Southeast due to low vote turnout, Tinubu should focus on getting 90% votes in south south, 80% in west if Atiku pick non westerner then 95%
North west 55%, Northeast 45%, North central 70%
Southerners will still win las las
Tinubu first
Atiku second
Kwankwanso Third
Peter Obi fourth
then others
Nobody will vote tinubu with his Muslim/Muslim ticket. Stop daydreaming.
famzynet: Igbos will vote Peter Obi because they believe he will perform better than the other candidates put together. They don't give a damn if eventually PDP or APC wins. They will rather lose voting the right person with increased chance of changing Nigeria than vote people who put Nigeria where it is today.
Igbos will not vote for Peter Obi in Labour party. This is because igbos know that voting for Obi in Labour party is a waste of votes. Ask why they did not vote for ojukwu in 2003.
seunmsg: I have done my own analysis on another another thread and the only viable option for APC is to field either Tinubu or Osinbajo. They are the only two candidates that can pull massive votes in the south west and North central and still divide the north using the APC structure and presidential backing. Atiku will walkover any other candidate from APC.
Tinubu with his Muslim/Muslim ticket is a no-go area.
Grgton: Nigeria problem is beyond party ! We are talking about personality! Who can turn things around! Assuming PDP or APC (rulling party has been picking excellent candidates, do you think Nigeria would have remain this way?
In Nigeria of today, personality alone cannot win any election, u need a formidable platform to win elections. If u have a formidable platform (political party), ur personality will now come as an added advantage for u.
Damidave1124: Okay... But we know that Peter Obi's Labour party will play a major role in reducing the chances of PDP's winning in the general election
Forget the hyping, Labour party is no threat to anybody. Where are they? Who are their foot soldiers? Which structure do they have? Not even a single senator or governor. The highest they can get is to to get the majority votes in Anambra state the presidential election because of Peter Obi.
joe54: Ohanaeze should Align with Obi. That's the right thing to do and kick away both APC AND PDP. As it stands now Tinubu will definitely win the APC presidential primaries. Atiku is the candidate for PDP. We can't afford to have this same criminals back in power. Obi is not a saint also but a lesser criminal. For the sake of equity and the pattern of Obi campaign I think he can make developmental strides in Nigeria. As it stands only the educated rational youths can swing the pendulum in his favour. The illiterate almajari will definitely vote Tinubu or atiku. Let the campaign begin.
This kind of thinking is alienating the igbos from national politics the more. Does labour party has the structures to win the presidential election? Do u think the whole SE voting for Obi will make him win the presidential election. Whether u like it or not the coming presidential election will be won by either APC or PDP and it's better the igbos allign with one or them before it's too late.
My advice for igbos is to abadone Peter Obi and his useless labour party and lobby for a competent Igbo son to be Atiku's running mate. Otherwise they will remain in political wilderness for the next eight years or even more.
Peter Obi is the most foolish Nigerian politician I have seen in the last twenty years. He would have been Atiku's running mate if he had remained in PDP. But he allowed some idiots on social media to over hype him and led him to join Labour party where he cannot even come fourth in the general election.
There would have been the possibility of him becoming the Vice president of Nigeria if Atiku wins, and who knows, he can even miraculously become the president from being VP.
Now he has joined labour party and after loosing the general election, he will run back to PDP and nobody will take him serious anymore. Obi is now permanently a political orphan. He has used his own hands to destroy his promising political career.
