Workch: Nope, we don't need the extreme north to win. You are not getting it. We only need to win or get at least 25% in non-Muslim dominated states like Benue, Abuja, Plateau, Nasarawa, Kaduna , Taraba and Adamawa, kogi and then secure 25% in all sohthern state then obi will win. The northern Christians in these states I listed will give the votes. This means a total of 25 states, one more than the 25% in 24 state constitutional requirement.
We are not interested so much in Northwest state where Kwankwaso is already working by proxy for Obi to deplete Atiku and Tinubu votes.
We are not hoping to win Kano, Katsina, Jigawa, sokoto Borno and the likes, we don't even think we can get 25% there. We know they cannot vote Obi, we only need at most 10% there
It's not easy but it's doable, there is a viable pathway to victory without the Northwest, Borno, Yobe and the likes
Good comment but , Abuja is not a State. The law says 25% votes in 2/3 of the States, i.e 24 States. Any Candidate has to do well in Abuja as well.
Workch: bro, Obi is winning this election. He has better chance than Tinubu. I am looking at this data, I don't see why we should allow Atiku be getting 25%in Imo, Abia and Anambra when he cannot get it in crossrivers and Rivers state. We will work on that.
Atiku has a slight lead in TARABA, Obi is closely seocnd, we will work on that, Obi is also closlely second in Kaduna to Tinubu, we will work on that.
Don't underestimate us dude. Don't be surprised if Obi gets 25% Ondo, Osun and Kogi.
See. We have a working strategy that we are yet to unleash. PDP and APC will be shocked
I'm from Southeast, Atiku cannot get 25% votes in Anambra, Enugu, Abia... I'm very sure. I don't know about Ebonyi and Imo.
Workch: Atiku will lose so much votes to Tinubu and Kwankwaso in the north that it will not be enough to nullify the bloc votes Obi will secure from SE and SS.
Obi will meet 25% coverage and still get the highest votes. Trust me.
If Obi is winning SS by 60% and SE by 70%, Atiku needs to win NW by 40% and NE by 65% to be able to get the same amount of votes as Obi.
Then the NC will now become the battle ground. Atiku is weak in the largest NC voting blocs of Plateau and benue, Obi will win there comfortably by virtue of religion.
Taraba in NE will be very close between both. The like of Kogi, Niger and kwara do not have huge voters, and Tinubu is also there to help deplete Atiku's votes. Obi will win Abuja.
Obi will end up having the highest amount of votes combined if you add his performance in SW where he will be seocnd.
SweetVibe: I reside in Benue State, as the election comes closer in February 2023 I have scrutinized all the candidates and made my choice. Here is how I will be voting;
Presidential: Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi
Governorship:All progressive Congress (APC) Rev.father Hyacinth Alia
Senatorial: All progressive Congress (APC) Comrade Dan Onjeh
House of Rep: All progressive Congress (APC) Hon. Blessing Onuh
House of Assembly: Labour Party (LP) George Owie
note: I used to be a PDP supporter but they presented rubbish candidates all through the state. As a free thinker who doesn't involve sentiment when making decision, I will be voting across party line
You can add yours
From Abia Presidential...... LP Governorship.....LP Senate.......... APGA House of Rep...... Undicided State Assembly..... PDP. I May change mind here.
udeh3: Are you saying what you know or mere perception?
I'm not an Igbo nor Yoruba person, but one thing I know is that Obi is carting away over 40% of Lagos vote.
I work in Island, but stay in mainland. My industry is the real estate, so, I can categorically tell you due to my exposure and relationships with the money bags here and other engineers, many elites in this state are queueing behind Obi. As we speak, the real estate industry is seriously suffering due to the poor economic policies of PMB, which BAT isn't different.
This industry, couple with the Alaba, Ikeja Computer Village, Idumota and Oshodi boys dominate Lagos big boys, most of them are actually from Igbo extractions. With the high clearing cost of goods, forex market in accessing dollars...
Obi is pulling over 40% of votes here. I've never come across one of them talking about BAT. Most of them secretly discuss the option of Osibanjo and Obi before, and now, Obi is the only one they trust for economic revamping... Apart from the being Igbo's turn which I believe it should be, since my region and other major tribe has tasted the highest seat, he's the most competent, articulate and vibrant. He has openly told the high and mighty that they should go and dip deep, if they found any money he took from those offices he held for years, he will stepdown. Uptill now, this challenge hasn't been countered or challenged. None of the candidates, I mean, none can throw an open challenge like this. So, there's this openness and corrupt–free dude in town. A prudent and frugal candidate
Coming down to Mainland where I live. Berger precisely, almost everywhere is Obi. My MD is Yoruba. He has invested much in this Obi's campaign without knowing him. The CDAs here are mainly talking about Obi
Only bigots who don't understand business or economic still talks about BAT. Even the radio and TV stations here are more of the Obi's presidency. One can know from the way they speak and talk. Nigerian Info is arguably the most popular here in terms of content and information and I can tell you, most discuss and response from callers will give you the feel that Obi is having the upper hands
This is the real situation
Nigeria actually deserve better. I was looking forward to a debate between Osibanjo and Obi presidency. Obi won this election when Osibanjo wasn't given the APC ticket. We look forward to better candidates in the future, but for the now, Obi has the love
God bless Nigeria
Please ,Can Obi get 25% votes in other states in South West?
Risingblue008: This stupid law is going to affect hundreds of business financially oo Just like we that owns a bet-shop,. Then how do we pay customers that won above 1/2 million? So na story we want to dey tell Dem now abi?
U can transfer the money to the person which is easier.
Metrix147: The South East Chairman of the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, Senator T.A Orji, has predicted a sweeping victory for the PDP Presidential Candidate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, saying Atiku's track record, capacity, and his ability to unify the country as exemplified during his time as Vice President of the country stands him out.
The Senator representing Abia Central who spoke in Umuahia during the inaugural meeting of the Campaign Council challenged Director Generals and Stakeholders of the South East to be vigilant and steadfast before and during the 2023 General Election.
Chief T.A Orji urged the State Director Generals not to relent in their efforts to sensitise and mobilize the electorate.
He further stated that previous elections have shown that Atiku Abubakar has always done well in the South East and February 25th election cannot be an exception.
In his contributions, the former Senate president Senator Aldophous Nwagbara while commending Senator T.A Orji on his appointment maintained that Atiku Abubakar remains the candidate to beat in the forthcoming election. He appealed to Ndi’Igbo to continue their support for Atiku Abubakar.
Other prominent Igbo sons which include Chief Dan Ulasi, Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa, his Excellency Eric Acho Nwakanma, and Professor Jude Njoku all lauded Senator T.A Orji for the bold step he has taken in galvanizing support for Atiku Abubakar since his appointment and argued that Atiku has maintained a good relationship with Ndi’Igbo during his tenure as a customs officer and Vice President.
... This Man is not telling himself the truth. I'm sure Atiku will not believe him. Maybe he is trying to give Atiku hope in order to extort him. The facts still remains that Peter Obi will win the entire south east with a very wide margin. He's not dragging it with anybody. The people of south east are fully OBIdients.
The presidential candidate of the labour party Peter Obi just arrived at awka for his town hall meeting with the Nigeria youths. Peter Obi was largely received by his people
Town Hall Meeting different from Balablu Blu Bulaba ...
Voice22: APC Muslim/Muslim Ticket A Jihad Call, We Will Help Tinubu Actualize It – Kano Cleric Spills
A SaharaReporters report sighted by Naija News on Friday quoted the cleric as saying that the APC Muslim/Muslim ticket is a call to Jihad; hence they will defend the call with their ballots come February.I saw this evil agenda coming. I knew that this M.M is not just to win election but to perfectly islamize this Country. Christian Association Nigeria (CAN) keep being quiet.
According to the news platform, Auwal said this today at a special prayer session organized by Muslim clerics in Kano for the success of Tinubu’s candidacy.
Auwal reportedly informed the congregation that Tinubu/Shettima’s ticket had defined the supremacy of Islam, urging all Muslim voters to vote for the APC on election day overwhelmingly….
“This meeting was convened by our group, Islamic Preachers and we’ve invited about 75 Muslim groups, including the Kaduna State Izala and the Jos (Plateau state) Izala, the Salafiya, Kadariya, IMWAN, Muslims in Da’awa, Women in Da’awa. Also here are groups like Yoruba and Igbo Muslim groups. Last but not least, we have here the Kano Imams’ group.
“The import of today’s sitting is to let the clerics and indeed all Muslim leaders know that the Muslim/Muslim ticket is not about mere promises of bringing dividends of democracy like road and infrastructure. This ticket is about the supremacy of Islam. This ticket has honoured Islam. Therefore, we’ll honour it with our ballots,” Auwal was quoted saying at the session.
The cleric furthermore declared that a Muslim is always better than an infidel. “What more of two Muslims combined? This informed why we undertook to create this awareness and to let all of us know that this Muslim/Muslim ticket is a jihad call to all Muslims,” Auwal said.
On his part, another preacher who is said to be the leader of the Izala sect in Kano, Sheikh Abdallah Saleh Pakistan, noted that the former Governor of Lagos State had for a long time promoted the enthronement of a Muslim/Muslim candidate.
“We’ve discussed extensively on how this candidate (Tinubu) has for a long time strived to actualise the Muslim/Muslim ticket. He paired Nuhu Ribadu with a Muslim Yoruba back then and was also instrumental to the Abiola/Kingibe, Muslim/Muslim ticket,” the cleric said.
Governor of Kano State Abdullahi Ganduje, who was also reportedly at the gathering, said that Tinubu/Shettima ticket would be supported by all Muslims.
According to him, it was not the first time to practice Muslim/Muslim in the country.
coputa: Nairaland is a huge community that cuts across ethnicity, religious, occupational , political and racial interest, The election is just a few months from now,,and there has been various poll being carried out on different platforms and i think,this community should not be an exception. What you need to do is to indicate the name of the party you want at the helm of affairs come 2023. The votes will be counted on the 31st of December,2022.No insult,please,just indicate the party you want:LP for labour party,PDP for people's Democratic party and APC for All people congress. Let me kick the ball rolling ,i want LP for president.
IfnobeGod20: In Iragbiji kingdom, since is part of Republic of Nigeria. God will not allow a proud man to be Nigeria president. His Iragbiji kingdom need him more than Nigeria need him. Someone should ask Tinubu and his handlers, what are they hiding that his making them live larger than the nation they want to govern? Are they telling us that they are more wiser than over 200m Nigerians that they want to rule over? This seed Tinubu and his co-travellers has planted most not germinate, else they have set bad precedence that will continually affect our electioneering process in the future. You want to serve but you don't want to be scrutinize but want to choose who to scrutinize you and who not to scrutinize you, such cannot be a leader but a ruler. Nigeria brace up for tyranny rule and regime if he eventually wins the presidency, which I pray God forbid. Tinubu and his group should come down from their high horses because they are not wiser and not all-man-know-all. If they think they can silent everybody to submission that will be a big lie from the pit of hell. Tinubu is the one looking for job and a prospectus job seeker, should expect to be interview to know his competence, capacity, capability and his records in all aspect of life and this constitutionally the media is our representatives to bring to accountability those that are serving and want to serve us. Well, pride goes before destruction. God make your words potent and show the proud man his way and let him be humble by your chastisement.
U just said nothing but the truth. That's a good one.
Gentleswift: He might not be vastly experienced like his other contestants in handling the complexities of the country, but one thing is sure about him. Accountability and transparency. I think that's what Nigeria needs now.
Hmmm. PO was a Governor of a complex State like Anambra for 8 yrs and performed so well. What other experience are you talking about? Is it experience in Corruption and looting? Is there any good qualities his opponents have that he does not have? . Please, P O has the qualities in Character, capacity, competence to deliver.
praxs: Yes I agree with you that Tinibu did not factor in PO. However, in my analysis, even if Tinibu had picked a pastor as running mate, northern Christian still wouldn’t vote for him. As a matter of fact, most Christian both in the north and south wouldn’t vote for Tinibu, and still lose so votes to Atiku. So in other to tighten the northern Muslim votes, he picked the MM so as to ganer thier votes. Upon that, I still feel the battle is between the PDP and APC because the both have the spread and foot soldiers to go dirty (which the will) when the need arises.PO has to charge his supporters to guard thier votes with all thier will if he wants to stand a chance. Feb23 can’t come any sooner above all. The elections has gone tribal and religious
Tinubu cannot massively get core northern votes when Atiku, kwankwaso are in the picture. Tinubu doesn't have the kind of popularity Buhari has in the North. Moreso, APC's poor performance will also affect him. So many Muslim Northerners will not vote APC because they are so disappointed that APC failed to fulfill almost all the promises made to them. If Tinubu doesn't do well in the North, he will not win the election because it's very clear that South South and Southeast belong to Obi.
1. The PDP would've counted on the SE to easily win there but with Obi, PDP is left fighting for at least 25% which Bola Tinubu is also scheming to get. So the battle for 25% SE votes is between Atiku and Tinubu. Tinubu with his enormous war chest and the fact that there are 2 APC governors in the SE gives Tinubu an edge in Imo and Ebonyi. Atiku will likely scrape 25% in Enugu and Anambra . Enugu because of the PDP structure and Anambra because of both APGA and PDP. Abia is anyone's guess. Both Atiku and Tinubu may not record the required.
2. The middle belt has always been the decider on who wins the election. A region always greatly overlooked . Buhari won 2015 elections because he clinched this zone. In this Zone, Obi goes nowhere except in Benue where he will challenge Atiku but Atiku wins. For other states it will be between Tinubu and Atiku. Atiku will win Taraba, Kogi hands down but Tinubu will clinch the necessary votes in Kogi and give Atiku a run in Kwara, Nassarawa, Kaduna and Plateau which are all APC states but set to fall to PDP.
3. In the core north , the NW is for Atiku other than some fuckery that will happen in Kaduna under the midget. Kwankwaso will soon collapse his structure into PDP so don't go about thinking he will split the votes. Have you seen Kwankwaso conduct one single rally? Think! In the NE, other than Bornu, Atiku will clinch the zone. Obi has no presence here. He will not get shishi so to speak.
4. In the SW it will be battle royale between Atiku and Tinubu. Tinubu to sweep and Atiku to grab as much as he can.
5. Lagos is the only place Obi stands a good showing outside the SE and he will do well. I am saying 20% well here so don't get your hopes high.
6. Niger Delta is for Atiku. He will win Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Cross Rivers and Akwa Ibom but not with the usual margin PDP is used but win he shall. It is only in Edo that Tinubu might win. Atiku will do well here.
So the real problem is not Obi as a direct threat per se but a spoiler for others and not for him to even win.
Your Analysis shows that you are not aware of the level of Obi's Pupularity in the South South. Obi will win in all the south south states. He's winning pleatue and Benue. He's gonna drag Lagos State with Tinubu. He will do well in Taraba ,Nasarawa,Adamawa, Kaduna,kogi, Ogun,Oyo, Ondo and few other States. Mark my words....
Patriotsleague: Obi is dividing the people on religious lines, very evil man.
Did u expect PO to attend Mosques? Did u not hear the Moderator when he said that PO has been attending the Program since the yr 2018?What can u say about APC that presented M.M. ticket claiming that it's based on competence, meaning that no northern Christian in the 19 States is qualified to be the Vice Presidential Candidate. It's APC who have brought so much suffering, hunger, bandits, high inflation, etc in this nation that u should call Evil.
LP - FCT, Abia, Anambra, benue, Plateau, cross river
NNPP - Kano
.This is so hilarious. For your information, PO will win both SS/SE ask people who are leaving there.Edo, Rivers, Akwaibom, Cross-river, Bayelsa are OBIdients. He will also win Delta State. Even Ifeanyi Okowa will lose his LG to Peter Obi.
keymatt: Even though I'm confirmed BATified supporter, I can't help but admire Peter Obi. He's the cleanest presidential candidate Nigeria ever had. That a man without any corruption charge against him is running for President doesn't speak well for other presidential candidates with heavy corruption allegations.
This is very commendable. I like your speech. May God reward you for saying the truth.
JoeNL22: Story!......the one wey we do 4 Oct 1st una never match am. Na this one una bring come. mtchweeee!
This confused Man called Keyamo should be aware that OBIdients have held rallies in Awka and Onitsha, Anambra State. Their supporters have to hold a rally in Anambra State only in one location. OBIdients held rallies in four locations... lekki,Surulere,Festac and Ikeja of Lagos State.
. Why are people supporting this politically motivated employment made by Gov. Oyetola with bad intentions?. Yes, the Governor has d right to employ people but, why did he have to wait till when he has lost re-election?.He had enough time to employ people after he must have planned how to provide the Money that will be taking care of their Salaries and Allowances.
If he had won his re-election, he wouldn't have rushed to employ 12k persons immediately. This shows that he wants to make things very difficult for the incoming Governor. Do you know how much it will cost to take care of the additional 12k workers in a poor state like Osun?. How much does the state get every Month?. This is unacceptable !!! If I'm the incoming Governor, I will still advise the Osun people to stay aware from this Satanic Employment because I will surely terminate it once I take charge.
ZombieSlayer1: tinubu won't get up to 15% of total votes in Imo State unless he rigs. I don't know why tell me yall think the governor being from APC automatically means the people will vote APC
He will not get more than 7% in Imo State. Nobody will rig Presidential election in Imo State in favor of APC. Things have changed. BVAS for Accreditation and Transmission of results. The worst APC can do is vote buying.
This is very commendable. I encourage the Campaign Teams to work harder and tour around the rural areas of the North to Preach to the People that what this Country needs in this point in time is a younger and committed Man who has the competence, ability, and capacity to start changing the bad situation of this Country. They should not listen anymore to those Northern Elites who always pasuade them to vote based on Tribe/Ethnic and Religious sentiment. This is the time to retire all these Old and corrupt politicians who have little or nothing to offer. We need to do it differently this time for us to move forward.
Is you and your entire Household that God will punish. Muslim-Muslim Ticket is unacceptable by the Majority of Christians. Would you have supported the Muslim-Muslim Ticket if the Presidential Candidate is not from your Region?. No Muslim will ever support or vote Christian-Christain Candidates. If APC really values Christians, they shouldn't have gone for Muslim-Muslim Ticket. There are many popular Christian politicians in the NORTH
Xscape1993: Bye bye to evil party is what awaits you in 2023 sir. You would have sponsored a younger person like Osinbajo or Kayode of Ekiti state for this mission, but you chose to disgrace and embarrass yourself before Nigerians. No vacancy in Aso Rock come 2023 for you sir....
This is the appointed time to retire all these old,corrupt politicians who have little or nothing to offer for the well-being of this Country. Tinubu has come again with another fake promises like his party did prior to 2015 & 2019 Election. For the past 7 years, If Tinubu has what it takes to change the bad situation of this Country, why did he not give the Clue to that lifeless Calamity called Buhari whom he campaiged and helped to bring on board?. I voted APC 2015 and PDP 2019. This time, it should not be about Religion,Tribe or Section because the hardship, insecurity and bad economy are being felt by almost every Nigerian .I'm going to vote a younger and Vibrant Man who has the Commitment, character, Ability, competence and Capacity to bring a new Nigeria which everybody will be proud of. During the Short period Yemi Osibanjo was in acting Capacity, I felt the effects of his good leadership but when that lifeless Buhari came back from his Medical leave the Plans and Economic Polices of Osibanjo was twarted .Since APC didn't give Osibanjo Ticket, I will go for second Option.
Rozross: Desist from tribal politics and call the devil his real name, Nigeria shall get it right this time around but definitely not with a deceitful thief like Peter Obi
Onovo3: Similar to to my view as well. The worst that will happen to Atiku in the Southern part of Nigeria is to have a draw with Tinubu and Obi. This is because, Tinubu will definitely win the South West, While Atiku will come 2nd with good number of votes there. Obi will not fly beyond Lagos in the South West. However, Obi could likely have an upper hand in the South East. The worst case for Atiku in the South East is second position. Atiku will definitely win the South South with Tinubu/Obi battling for the second position. Overall, Atiku's ability to get reasonable votes from the South West, and South East couple with his victory in South South would put him at a comfortable edge in the South.
The North would be the decider for 2023 ! Who wins the North carry's the day !
2023 Presidential Election is very difficult to predict unlike the past elections. If election is held today PO will win Southeast with very wide Margin. He will also win in all the States in Southsoutth.. I'm sure.
OGHENAOGIE: the major contenders remain APC PDP anyone telling you something else is fooling you... Those saying Obi or labour ll win South South are just giving Obedients false hopes... Obi might win just one state in South East finish
.. U are joking. OBI will win all the States in Southeast and Southsouth. He may not win with big margin in just 2 or 3 Southsouth States. Obi will get at least 85% of average Southeast Votes.
9jahotblog: Obi is a clueless kindergarten structureless Labour Party candidate. Indefatigable grassroots politician Ekwunife will win again in next year Senatorial seat in Anambra State. Ekwunife everywhere you go in Anambra State . Keep on wailing and ranting against what he said. Obi is a clueless kindergarten candidate. Fr Mbaka words will surely come to pass in Obi candidacy too. Obi won’t even win Anambra State not to talk of the remaining 4 states in the south east region of Nigeria.
Do u stay in the Southeast?.. This is hilarious!! U will make a good Comedian. PO will get at least 90% of total Votes in Anambra come 2023. The Anambrarians are very happy with him because of the good work he did while in Office . Atiku will lose both the Southsouth and Southeast.. it's very clear...
