Orji the slave of the North.

100% agree. The idea that a Muslim-muslim ticket can come after Buhari is a big joke. Tinubu will be mad to do it

alsudan:
Abiola got 40 percent votes in the SE and 60 percent votes in the SS and NC with a Muslim Muslim Ticket in 1993.

But that’s the difference, 1993 is not 2023. Thiefnibu will get 3 percent votes in the SE, 10 percent in the SS, 25 percent in the NC if he ever tries it.

Head or tail, Tinubu will lose out.

If he selects a Muslim, Christian will show him pepper and if he selects a Christian, the Muslims will vote for their pikin Atiku.

Man is paying for helping foist the most divisive President in Nigeria’s history.

You will soon see Tinubu speaking in tongues, telling us he's been a member of Mountain of fire all this time!

This is the kind of over centralized mandness that we need the presidental candiates to be debating. There should be regional/state grids. Let everbody produce electicity using the resoruces lcoal to them.

Nonsense talk. How can they say my dear Edo state attracted 0 foreign investment, what of all the remittances from our major export of Asahwos to Italy?

Rebelutionary:
Why are you banking on this muslim-muslim ticket that isnt yet a reality? Can we just wait and see who his running mate is abeg? Any analysis you do with that assumption is futile!

Iam not banking on anything, Iam simply reflecting the stated political reality. You are correct it may not happen, but all signs are that Tinubu will select a Muslim running mate.

Toneypen247:
You guys are giving this thing more relevance than necessary Just get your PVC and vote these political urchins out

I tire bros. There is absolutly no need to heat up the nation on this issue. Anybody can select whoever they want on their ticket. Las las it was for we the voters to make our choice. The MOST IMPORTANT thing for every christian in this country now is TO GET YOUR PVC. Making noise online is of no value. There are no polling stations online. Get your PVC and be read for the election.That's all

Peter Obi is a stingy man, a thief that waist so many resources when he was a Governor to say, even to donate money to any public organization is a big No for him, those people that really matters has far as Nigerian politics in concern are watching him very closely, and I'm very sure they will surprise the man, Peter Obi is only popular on social media just because that's the only thing our Igbo brothers can really offer us.

Tinubu/Atiku paid bots are out in full force this weekend. They are really scared of Peter Obi. Surely if Tinubu or Atiku were such great candidates, they would be busy selling their credentials and achievements to us. The fact is these are 2 old rogues that have nothing to offer the youth, that's why PO is generating so much support across the land, and why they are so scared.

Flier:
The Nigerian youth has the opportunity to meet TINUBU and ATIKU to confirm what is their policies for the youth but they are busy marketing a candidate that has zero chance of winning presidential election
It is rear to see an independent candidate or 3rd party candidate to win a presidential election in a developed world let alone in Nigeria where 3rd party is non-existence
We have the opportunity to select the lesser of the evils at the moment before we end up with the worst of the two
The debate among the youth at the moment should be who is the lesser evil? because we are left with 2 thieves at the moment and we must select one.

It's my vote, and I am very happy to waste it thanks for your concern, but I am fully OBIDient!!

NaughtyBrainiac:
Peter Obi can only win if Tinubu of APC and Atiku of PDP both step down for Obi and tell their supporters to vote Obi.

I am sure you know the probability of that happening!

Not at all. The Muslim-Muslim ticket is going to hurrt Tinubu badily. He can kiss the SE/SS and parts of the middle belt and NE goodbye. Further more this election is going to be a FOUR HORSE RACE. Tinubu, Atiku and Kwankwaso will split the Northern Muslim votes, this will give Peter Obi a good chance in states like Kaduna and Taraba and maybe even Gombe. The Northern Christiand and minorites are 100% behind Obi

The ONLY way Peter Obi can win, is if his supporters roll up their sleeves and do the HARD stuff of grassroot campaigns. As we have all seen there is no polling station on Twiter or Instegram.
Key target states need to be identified. If I was advising them these would be split into must win, come a good second, get at least 30%

Must Win:
Anambra
Abia
Imo
Ebonyi
Enugu
Edo
Cross River
Akwa Ibom
Benue
Plateau
Kaduna

Come a close second:
Rivers
Bayelsa
Delta
Lagos
Kogi
Kwara
Ondo
Osun

At least 30%
Gombe
Bauchi
Taraba
Adamawa
Niger
Oyo

In a 4 horse race, with Tinubu, Atiku and Kwankwaso spliting the Norrhtern Muslim vote, the above projections are perfeclty possible, but the ground work has to start NOW. Ward by ward campaigns, ensure people in the target states have thier PVC's and on election day ensure they come out to vote and their votes are counted

Samunique:
I now understand that, coming up for the first time in Kaduna with Muslim Muslim ticket was a ploy to test the waters for their agenda for 2023 election.

These people are master planners !

Look at the rate at which the Christians are being massacred under the watchful eye of El Rufai Mr capacity.

Now I strongly believe that there's an Islamic agenda going on in Nigeria !!

Exactrly! Trust me if muslim-muslim president and VP should win. The next one will be North-North.

...The South-East is our zone and we know the people and the voters there will not abandon us.....

What a joke! The SE have been the most loyal zone to the PDP since 1999, yet the PDP did not see fit to zone the presidnency to them, and now you expect loyality from them. If I wee from the SE, I would be so offended by that!

GeneralPula:
Ibori is more of Tinubu’s Ally than Atiku..

Go and ask..

ibori has been close to Atiku for a long time. I think that rules out the current Delta state governor. I think it'll be Obaseki. He's not a threat to Atiku as he does not have deep connections inside PDP.

The sad part of all this, is that Northern Muslims are effectly saying Yoruba Muslims are not 'Real' Muslims. I wonder why SW Muslims continue to take this crap.
Anyway I am fully OBIDient so it does not really bother me. Na how we can deliver Edo state for Peter Obi nai we dey. Yoruba muslims, you guys have my sympathy!

PrinceOfLagos:
I am begining to fear this Peter Obi with the way he's taking over

Is he the Barack Obama of our time?

Hmm

Its up to we the people to make it happen. 6 years ago Macron's party did not exist, today he's in his second term as France President. A couple of years ago, Zelinsky was a comedy actor, today he's leading his country against Russia.
We the people can achieve anything if we put our minds to it

seunmsg:
I agree completely with the OP. This choice is now before us especially southerners. We either ensure power returns to the south through Tinubu or it remains in the north with Atiku.

If the price of power returning to the South is a Muslim-Muslim ticket, then let it stay in the North. After all despite all the years the North have rulled, their region is still poor and under developed. Another 4 years won't make much diffrence.
Muslim-Muslim tikcet is simply not acceptable in today's Nigeria

Osinbajo did his best. The reality is that there is no way he could get the ticket without FIRM support from Buhari. When a candidate does not have a solid structure in the party.
Buhari is well known for being indecisive and open to manipulation

it's either going to be Gado Dollar or El-Rufai. I think it will be Gado Dollar. Tinubu can't risk the Millions of votes from Kano.

He's bigger problem will be the Muslim-Muslim ticket. He can kiss the SE/SS goodbye in a big way with that, as well as parts of the NC/NE. Then it's him Atiku and Kwankwaso to battle it out for the the Muslim NW.

I really think the election is going to be very interesting as it's a 4 way race. It may the first time we don't have a clear winner in the first round and need a run-off second round

Blaksheep01:
My brother you said it all. Sometimes i weep for my tribe. We still have a long way to go. And it's we the Young ones that will bear the consequences.

It is so sad. There are many like me, who are not Igbo, but really are in sympathy with our Igbo fellow citizens and would love to see one of them become president of this nation. However the Presidential primaries have shown why this will not happen anytime soon. Not a single Igbo governor or prominant Igbo politican, supported any of the Igbo Presidentail candidates in either party! All the other zones now know clearly that the SE politicans are only in for their pockets.

Nokio1:
Nigerian politics is not about big big grammar and reeling out economic houcus pocus...ya dollar ya ticket shikena

And that is why the country is the shit hole it is. An oil producing country that imports petrol. A Gas producing country that can't generate electricy. A fertile counrtry with massive hunger. You guys continue with the dollar politics. You and your generations will continue to serve the politicans and their families.

booblacain:
This talk of Notherners will not vote a Nothern Christian is just rubbish talk.

Then you really don't understand Northern Politics. The Northern Muslims do not recognise southern muslims as proper muslims. This is why no southern Imam can preach in a northern mosque. This was explained to late MKO Abiola which is why he selected the muslim Baba Gana Kingibe as his vice.
Tinubu will surley go for a muslim vice, he's has even hinted as much, and this will destroy his chances among Nigerian christians in the current climate. The middle belt, SE and SS are totaly in place for Peter Obi and Atiku(Atiku will definilty selected a southern christian). I just can't see how Tinubu makes it to Aso Rock

Bro, thanks for having the courage to share this.

Now hear me well. End this relationship NOW!

If you want to have a happy stress free life, end it NOW!

Any woman that is can show such disrespect for your views, will show you red pepper in marriage.

Anybody that leaves their house next year to vote for either APC or PDP deserves all that may befall them

coputa:
You got it right,it's either the Yorubas or the igbos that ass lick the north to betray their region.The southern minority need to form a union to nip this slave mentality in the bud.

Too right bro. The SS need to work as a block for our own interests.

DOTian:
They understand nothing more than anyone.
It's a function of their control of the military post 1966. Power revolves around force. When you have the force to back up your political decisions and choices, others will gravitate towards you.

How many SE governors supported Peter Obi in PDP?
How many southern States did Wike Win?

Please face FACTS, the south is completely divided. We are selfish and do not put the interest of the region before personal interest. Look at Orji Kalu playing slave to Lawan, when even the northern ACP governors have said it should go to the south.

They are united and unity is strength. The 2 big groups in the south, Igbo and Yoruba are not united , due to this the SS looks after its own interests. Until we learn unity and FAIRNESS in the south, the North will continue to call the shots

AntiWailer:
Lol. Very ignorant generation.

President Obama

President Bush

President Trump

That is how America address their Presidents Ex or Current.

No big deal or need for a dumb conspiracy theory.

Thanks bros, the ignorance in this generation is staggering. Is Tinubu not still referred to as Senator Tinubu till tomorrow?

You must have really messed up in life, when FFK sounds sensible and wise compared to you!!

I would still not rule anything out. The next 72hrs are going to be EPIC in Nigeria's political history. APC can do and undo anything. However going by the tips Buhari gave in his speech (The person must be a party man who understands the party, must be acceptable in all parts of the country...) I still think it's going to be Amaechi. I mantain Osinbajo was simply used to divde the SW.

CloudWalker:
In all honesty which so called major tribe will you prefer to join

What makes you think the Edo nation needs to join with anyone? Were we not an independent kingdom before the arrival of the British? There are almost 5 Million people in Edo state, thats almost the population of Denmark. We are more than capable of being an independent, thriving country.

I stand 100% with Buhari. Tinubu has been picking Lagos gov candidates since 2007, why does he think Buhari should not be able to do the same?
