This is one of the reason why some people are oblivious to the Obi movement. This man will do all this work, gather great momentum and end up stepping down for Atiku. Hell no

What's the difference between Atiku & Tinubu? Age, corruption, King makers,

Can Tinubu pick a Christian running mate from the middle belt, and still win the general election? Who should that sellable personality be?

Proudlyomonna:
They are shouting power should shift down south,to which region exactly
Why can't He endorse a SE presidency to tell the world He is truly Just and Honest about His power must come to the South
I stand with Peter Obi,but if it doesn't go to him,then let the North keep it till we are ready to do this Justly and rightly
Half honesty is equal to dishonesty.

What does Peter Obi have to do with APC? He's not contesting under APC, why should it go to him?

See analysis and day dreaming..

Una still believe Lawan candidate go fly

Politicians are interested in power first, before they decide how to share it.

I don't think APC will be so daft to allow Lawan to fly their party ticket.

Any Governor stand a better chance than Lawan..APC won't try it.

Except Adamu dey do Atiku biddings inside APC

You call it Atiku’s bidding, they call it Nothern’s Hedge. No difference

The strategy of Orji Uzor Kalu and the entire South East is becoming clearer. Their goal is to support Nothern PDP and APC presidential tickets leaving Peter Obi as the only formidable Southern Aspirant. Election rhetorics will be geared towards supporting him as the best chance the south has to wrestle power from the North. Which will allow him to corner majority of southern and middle belt votes.

My questions are;
1. Can Peter Obi win the election under this circumstances, as a consensus southern aspirants?
2. Can Obi garner at least 25% votes in the North, as prescribed by the constitution?
3. Can the South Trust Peter Obi not to sell out at the last minute to Atiku and the North, considering Obi’s closeness to Atiku?
4. What are some other permutations and combinations that might happen based on above postulation?

Interesting

The question is not about winning in the court of law. The question is about the media campaign, election slogan that will come after. Will it stick is the question? Just like how the media and online pundits slammed Buhari with the "Certificate less slogan". Lets see how the story unfolds.

Nova1988:
If you look at my previous post on this topic you'll see I was wayyyyy off, Things changed very unexpectedly. But now that ATIKU has won PDP primaries, it's now more clearer and possible to predict.

It all comes down to who will win APC primaries, if Tinubu wins then unfortunately Atiku is going to be president. why? you may ask, let me explain.

If Tinubu is representing APC, and Atiku PDP then atiku will win easily because the all of north will vote for ATIKU, the South West will vote for Tinubu and the South East will vote for Peter obi. The north is obviously more populated so Atiku will definitely win.

But if Tinubu doesn't win then it will be more complicated.

The way I'm seeing it, power will remain in the North. Because right now the South is too divided, igbos and Yorubas decided to insult themselves and support Tinubu and Peter obi knowing fully well that none of them stands a chance with the north(population wise).


If power eventually stays in the north then I don't want to hear any Tinubu or Peter obi supporter say that the presidency supposed to come from the South because y'all did this to yourselves. As a northerner, I seriously wanted to experience a southern president again, but y'all bleeped up.


The blame will be on you guys if Atiku doesn't do well.

Last time I checked, Kwankwaso is still in the race. Are you saying no vote for him in the north?

I'm surprise nobody is talking about Flourmill. It looks like it's about to play catch up with Okomu and Presco, based on their palm oil plantation asset. How high can it go?

What exactly does this mean for these vacant position? Most of these positions will be vacated by appointees from the south. Would these positions be replaced by appointees from the south, the north, or would they be left open till the end of Buhari's tenure?

This will reduce the representation of the south in executives meetings, and other necessary meetings requiring proper representation.

Appropriation and capital spending arguments accruing to the south requires monitoring from within, hence need to have capable ministers inside. While the likes of Babatunde Fashola will remain in the cabinet for another year, I'm more concerned about the numbers.

Is this something the south should worry about?

Slynation:
Do you think the Northerners will see Atiku who is a Northerner and vote for GEJ?? If that happens and GEJ eventually becomes the party bearer, do you also think the west will remain loyal to the agenda...I don't even think GEJ can become the APC presidential flag bearer, because such motive won't even sale out...

If APC use Johnathan as a consensus candidate. This will further prove their objective, which is they don't care about APC / the south winning the election. Because, how do you make Johnathan, a legal liability based on eligibility your candidate?

Do we have a third force/ party, that can rescue the presidency from these two parties? These 2 major parties are vulnerable, hence the need for formidable united alliance of smaller parties to put their best foot forward and rescue the country. The time is now

This game is getting very interesting. The game plan is this; PDP will throw their contest open, Atiku becomes PDP candidate. APC Zone their ticket to the south, via concensus and gives it to Johnathan. Consensus divides political system and split votes in the south paving way for North to retain presidency.

Looks like these Notherners have ulterior motives. I will not be surprise to see other northerners coming out to contest under APC. In due time, all these secret dealings will be revealed

This one loud o. You can never stop the idea/ the man who’s time has come. In due time, success/ presidency is yours to celebrate

Let’s see how this movie is going to end. The north feel like they can dictate to the rest of Nigeria. Impossible

How can you put a price ceiling on some specific commodities, when the pricing of these products follows demand and supply. It’s easy to make these kind of statements now, heading into the summer. Let’s see if they still share similar views heading into cold season. This proposition is dead on arrival. Russia will never allow it

What was the internal generated revenue before Tinubu became the governor of the state? What role does that play in laying the foundation for a new Lagos after 1999?

Look at these people trying hard to drum support for Goodluck, on the basis of one term presidency. Dead on arrival

SenatePresdo:
As if it was the Aso Rock Houseboy that appointed those ones by himself.


Judas Osinbajo is a Pastor and a religious Bigot, he cannot be given the most powerful position in Nigeria.

We don't need bigots, be it a Christian or a Muslim.
Osinbajo can't be our president, neither would Tinubu.

APC should find another Candidate, Maybe Amechi or someone else.

Dream on

Felimax:
Fear which North? Even if Buhari resigns it will be counted as Buhari regime not Osinbajo.

A person can only be sworn in twice when his term his duly served, as it is Jonathan can come for a second term.

If the North are good players they should opt for POI as he is one person who believe in the Nigeria concept and can bring about drastic change in virtually all regions of this country but NO they are looking for how and who will serve their Islamic agenda like Pantami is doing.

I agree. When Johnathan was sworn in as the president, after the demise of Yaradua. He finished Yaradua's term, campaigned and worn his first term election. He campaigned again for reelection for 2nd term and lost. Reason why he can contest again for the presidency if he wishes to do so.

If Buhari resigns today, Osinbajo will first finish his (Buhari's) term and then serve for additional 8 years.

Interesting. This story just confirmed rumors lingering around. Thanks for sharing

Insecurity for sure.

ochilikoko:
The list is good but I'm still wondering when the youths will take over because all of them there except Omus(environment) are above 50years

The list is not bad. At least about 30% of those people are below 50. Good one from Soludo

Very interesting. Let’s see how this is going to play out

The goodwill accorded prof Soludo is unprecedented in the history of Nigeria. I respect the man so much and I pray he doesn’t disappoint. God blessings to Prof and all his lieutenants as they move Anambra to a greater height.

In how many years? We are talking about Europe surviving the next 5 years. Even if they discover Gas in Europe, it will take at least 5 years to develop the infrastructure need to extract it and set up the pipe lines and supply chain.

But heck, they will still need Russia for the metals as Russia controls about 80% of steel and Iron.

This is the absolute truth. Gas development is not easy. It takes time for production. Can the EU afford time for development and production?

I understand we are heading into the summer, which will reduce the demand for natural gas in Europe. Reason why EU can flex muscles a bit

But Winter is not far behind. Russia will have the upper hand

stinflame:
Don't mind Putin, we agree they have the highest gas deposit and that is because others have not been discovered and harness, he will be shock to see an alternative to Russia Gas.

It’s not a matter of finding gas, anybody/country can do that. It’s about completion and production. That takes resources including technology, financial and most especially time. Can the EU afford 1 year without Russian gas? The answer is no.

The US is fast tracking their LNG development and shipment to counter Russian competitive advantage in Europe. The question at the end of the day will come to pricing. Can the US compete with Russia based on Logistic pricing? Vessel logistics vs. piping

Great strategy for the appreciation of Rubles

I am not an advocate, supporter of Russia.

I hope all those countries that don’t bend to the rules, maneuverings, cajoling and bullying of western nations are paying attention to these scripts. I hope they are able to build risk mitigations, buffers to counter these economic sanctions. It’s Russian turn today, tomorrow it might be Nigerian, South Africa, and other developing nations.

Can any African countries grow under these kind of expected economic sanctions, should they defile the yearning of western countries?
