Secondary issue.

The primary issue is to let democracy work.

The next issue, is to get rid of the vermin within. One can assume they were never going to vote against their master, Saraki in any case.

I can translate the part in the quote I've put in italics, thus: "he won't get even 25% in states such as: Bauchi, Jigawa, Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina; northerners are much more aware of Atiku['s character] than they think; he will not win even in Adamawa."

Self deception all your allusion is true before Buhari performance was put to test. Immediately Atiku won.my northern PDP Facebook follower was divided into three one Buhari die hard, Artikulated mass and those sitting on the fence.

It is now open to everybody that Buhari lack the capacity to lead and he does not have the health

Why are you guys always dovetailing to FaceBook? How many real voters over all - and especially from the north - are on FaceBook or Twitter?

Won't past and recent results from actual elections, compared to polls and projections on FaceBook and other social media platforms, cure you guys? Haba.

SE - Atiku 70% PMB 30%

NW - Atiku 30% PMB 70%
NE - Atiku 35% PMB 65%
NC Atiku 55% - PMB - 45%
SW Atiku 40% PMB - 60%

It promises to be tough for both but I see PMB edging it.

Watch out for my analysis on it in due course.

IMHO, those projection numbers in the NW and NE are on the generous side for Atiku, but, hey, I'm human, too.

PDP have a better chance in 2023 when the Buhari factor will be neutralize. Till then, the southern people, they know themselves, should reduce the tribal hatred. Four to five years is enough to change minds.

A better chance, yes, but that's going to be relative and limited; that's because, like I said to myself: wait, the south is not by any means homogeneous, and the largely non-PDP SW & significant parts of the SS, which are now tasting how good and sweet it is to be the government at the center, will not be sleeping from now through 2023!

Am talking out of experience. I got this moniker before I served. Northerners are nice people that doesn't want problem only to be farming and working hard to make ends meet. But some confined set of idiots won't let them be always claiming first class northerners most especially the rebellious Fulani cos there are good ones too.

Can't you guys do without using uncouth language? What do you gain by it, other than opprobrium?

........

QuotaSystem:
To put it plainly, apart from Taraba, Benue, Plateau & Nassarawa States, President Muhammadu Buhari is poised to sweep the votes of the remaining 15 northern states, for the following reasons:

1. The "Amana" factor.

A lot of southerners often wonder the basis of the cult-like following PMB commands in the North - the reason is not far fetched.

The Hausa-fulani people in particular, place a huge value on the concept of "Amana" (trust/to hold in trust), a value which Buhari's track record of integrity (whether disputed or not) is clearly aligned with. Despite media propaganda, most of these people who are more politically informed than their average southern counterparts, are aware that not a single charge of corruption has stuck on their revered PMB, amidst corruption allegations among his cronies. Atiku loses massively in this respect because of his track record of corruption (BPE, Haliburton, $16b power scam, unexplained source of wealth etc.) which presents him as an untrustworthy leader to most northerners.

Furthermore, PMB's seemingly north-centric agenda regarding appointments, infrastructure projects (roads, rails, ports) and focus on agriculture assures most northerners that their interests would be well protected under his administration, in contrast to Atiku who is perceived to be likely to make concessions and appeasements to the East whose support he is mostly riding on going by recent trends. Atiku also loses big in this regard.

2. The South Eastern VP Factor

If Atiku gives in to the clamor for his running mate to emerge from the East, then he stands to lose massive votes from the core north for obvious reasons.

Firstly, the deep political antagonism and anti-north stance from Igbos, which has characterized the national space and been amplified since the defeat of Jonathan and rise of IPOB/Nnamdi Kanu and their hate speech, will deeply hurt Atiku's chances because not only will it mean the North would be taking the extreme bigotry, insults and political antagonism from the East right on the chin with no consequences, it would also mean the possibility of an Igbo successor to Atiku - a people known for their contempt for Nigeria's unity and secessionist aspirations.

In addition, a SE VP will also cost Atiku significant SW votes - a sub-region with the second largest number of registered voters (14 million).

3. The Boko Haram Factor

In sharp contrast to the generally held notion among some in the south that Atiku would sweep the NE because it's his home region, the strides recorded by PMB in the fight against Boko Haram heavily neutralizes that effect. I am not talking about social media noise, but the perceptions of people directly affected by Boko Haram activities and are experiencing a gradual return to normalcy since PMB took office.

Yola (Adamawa) for example, Atiku's own home capital, has experienced peace since PMB's onslaught on BH like they never saw since Boko Haram emerged under the past PDP administration - this was formerly a ghost town that used to suffer deadly BH attacks daily with dusk-till-dawn curfews, which has since been lifted and attacks reduced to suicide bombings and guerrilla attacks on soft targets, which are reducing on a monthly basis. This was a state that had several LGA's under Boko Haram's rule during PDP's administration and the people aren't quick to forget the corruption that marred the fight against BH in Dasuki fashion.

Maiduguri is back to it's bustling state with dozens of NGO's providing humanitarian services to help with the ongoing rebuilding efforts, people are now free to watch El-Kanem FC matches in the township stadium, and trans-border economic trade (mostly fish) is gradually being restored. The return of the Chibok and Dapchi girls also adds points to PMB's profile in the sub-region. If by God's grace the FG is able to secure the release of Leah Sharibu then that would be a hat-trick. I personally spoke to a "Kube" (traditional hausa cap) dealer from Borno recently and these were the exact sentiments he expressed as he professed support for Buhari's candidacy.

Final Note

It is very valid to permute that the votes from the 4 excluded northern states (Benue, Plateau, Nassarawa, Taraba) will be shared by both candidates as federal might will play out (both parties will rig anyway). With 19 million registered voters in the North West and 10 million in the North East which are largely homogenic, it is safe to say anyone who loses these key regions has lost the 2019 elections. With another 14 million registered voters in the SW which is APC's stronghold and Atiku's slant towards choosing a SE VP, his campaign team should be very worried.

Note that this is not to say Atiku will not record a sizable number of votes from the Northern States, but the ratio will pale in significance to Buhari's potential landslide victory in the region. - Q.S

This is a very pragmatic and massive post you've contributed, QuotaSystem; well done.

[BTW, I give it up to you... you're a darn good writer.]

pazienza:
This is good.

In the spirit of equity, fairness and justice. PDP as a matter of urgency should zone the VP slot to SE, the only Southern zone yet to produce a PDP president or VP since 1999, yet had supported and voted PDP presidents from SW( OBJ), SS (GEJ) North (Yaradua).

It's time PDP rewarded Igbo loyalty to the party or forever lose the zone.

There's no one universal agreement w.r.t. those attributes called, 'spirit,' 'equity,' 'fairness,' and even 'justice,' my friend; it all depends on who's holding the knife, purse, or ace, at any one time. Simple.

ogene007:
Atiku will choose his running mate from the SE because he is smart enough to know that Ndigbo is everywhere unlike other ethnic groups that are mostly resident in their regions. This is why today, you have a lot of non yorubas representing Lagos state in both the state assembly and national assembly, and this is bound to increase as our elections become more credible. You bigoted view has no factual basis, go and think about something else to use in advancing your selfish interests.

This is how you kill your potentially valid points with hyperbole and borderline lies... two or three lawmakers out of like 40, for the first time, and only in Lagos state, and you're already shouting, " today, you have a lot of non yorubas representing Lagos state in both the state assembly and national assembly, ...?"

Why do you kill yourself with your own mouth so, and repeatedly attract opprobrium? Chai.

Lol! Funny people. Buhari will lose south east, we all know that. But the man will defeat Atiku in the north east, south west, and north west(with huge margin). North central will be 50/50. He will get at least 30 percent of south south vote.
Buhari will defeat Atiku in the end

Just leave them... the simple but pragmatic analysis you've posted here, they will not accept - or pretend not to see or agree with. Let any few of them that have hears, hear. The current euphoria permeating 'them' following Atiku having just grabbed the PDP's presidential ticket, will soon wane, anyways.

Buterflyle0:
Okay the PDP presidential primaries have come and gone and a winner and Presidential flag bearer for the party has emerged. He is Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

I am happy for PDP for choosing to field him as the opponent to President Buhari because in so many ways, it clearly sets us back to the scenario of 2015 which is the issue of Corruption vs Integrity.

Under same scenario in 2015, we know how that played out especially with the help of card readers which ensured that PDP no longer were able to inflate vote figures.

Same PDP in the form of Bukola Saraki the senate president recently tried to eliminate the card readers from the new modified electoral act but Buhari insisted it should be clearly included in the electoral act before he would endorse it. After much back and forth, it was included.

PDP in the past has been tagged as a party with a religion of looting and Nigerians were hoping that this time around, after being given 4 years break from power they would come back refined and more appealing to the many decent Nigerians who abhor all forms of corrupt practices but sadly they seem to have failed in this regard.

Right from their Primaries, it was evident that they just did not care about what people thought about them as they brazenly bribed delegates with large sums of dollars out of desperation and this speaks badly of where they are headed and why.

Between $2500 and $10,000 was shared per delegate by the aspirants of which Atiku was the largest bribe giver.

It is also on record that Atiku had been indicted on money laundry charges by the United States of America in conjunction with Homeland security. Anyone who knows how the homeland security works in USA would know that they are directly responsible for who is allowed in or out of the United states.

Once you are on their radar and red flagged, you have absolutely no hope of getting into the United States of America until your charges have been dropped and they have cleared you.

Atiku for many years (since 2008) has refused to step a foot in the united States based on the reason above. His partners in the money laundry crime have all been arrested, charged and jailed except him. Even his 4th wife resident in the USA who was an accomplice was arrested and jailed.

As it stands, Atiku is a wanted man in the United States of America.

His case was so deep, it became a case study on Corruption for homeland security in the USA.

For a party like PDP to still brazenly want to frolick with a known wanted man and a prolific looter of Nigerias Commonwealth, it shows that this party is far from turning over a new leaf and are still hell bent on continuing with their looting religion but this time, under a new ATM with no pin code called Atiku.

Obasanjo had his fair share of his thieving ways and has never forgiven him till date, now PDP have embraced this internationally known thief as their figure head for 2019 presidential polls. Talk about bad image laundering.

Anyway, attached is from the united states homeland Security with emphasis (mine) on Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

You be the Judge!

Secondly Saraki is too desperate and lacks public trust.
He looks acceptable to the masses simply because he is against mr Buhari who approval rating has crumbled

One of the greatest lessons of social media is that likes, comments and banters don't win elections...

If it was only Twitter...

Uncle Saraki would have won the polls as he and his #GrowNigeria trended day and night...

And his media team were top notch.

In real life however.... He was not close to the 1st or 2nd...

Social media Sha

You can say that again. Unfortunately, those concerned will never learn or grow out of that mindset that the world begins and ends on Social Media. It's probably because most of them were born into this era, where their first independent, real-world messaging interactions, are not via hard copies shared with real people, but with virtual beings on the Internet via gadgets.
