mystery22:
Tinubu can not March atiku in the north,and SE are likely not to vote Tinubu cos of his greedy betrayal while some part of ss will follow se, other parts will vote base on atiku running mate..

So I don't see how Tinubu can defeat atiku,anyway his frog eyes will open after primaries...

It's only Amaechi that can defeat Atiku if North APC supports him. Tinubu is a dead game for the reasons given. In the north Tinubu will lose woefully to Atiku
Amaechi's campaign will be based on competence, capacity and unity of the nation and he will triumph

Truthisunique2:
I am still surprised till date

He said in the interest of the nation i am sacrificing my ambition

I really thought it has dawned on him the interest of the nation is to see a southern Christian rule to dissuade agitation and sense of non belonging

There's no morality in politics, interest is the constant

Nigerialabalaba:
I don tell all dis yeye Tinubu and Yoruba haters awon omo ibo nl miscreants like impostor princeoflagos from owerri say our minority ex-presido GEJ no get chance for APC .

In fact, na because pdp don sabi say apc go elect Tinubu na hin make pdp give Atiku. If pdp know say APC dey give gej, pdp go don choose wike because even wike go defeat gej. shiorr

6 days to go and you go still blame Omo Ibo as usual when it happens

funshint:
Ẹlẹnu yamayama...shey na hìn dollars? Oya make Tinubu the consesus candidate then. You sha want to bring him down by all means, but God will always stand with him. He will prevail IJN!

Tinubu is old and not widely accepted all over the country. He won't be the flag bearer of APC.

press9jatv:
Hmm. Tinubu is a goner. Osinbajo will be favoured.

Amaechi is the candidate to beat and if given the ticket will defeat Atiku

CutieKing:
I think Wike didn't do his home work properly. He left his some of the southern states uncovered.Tambuwal was also a spoiler in Wike path to victory but I respect the man though.he gave a good fight being a first timer.

Wike is the hero in this case, he fought for one Nigeria by ensuring power goes to South after 8 years in North. He may have his flaws but na man him be

Southern politicians and voters have to be wary of this promoter of northern supremacist called Tambuwal. He backstabbed Tinubu in 2015, after prevailing on Wammako to give him Huber ticket. Wike gave him N500M, worked for him in 2019 now he backstabbed him
He is not a hero rather a villain
He is a serial betrayal

OkoroBufo:
The saddest part is that when Northerners play a betrayal role, they'd call them politically smart. Imagine the Party chairman who Wike helped install. Tambuwal himself whom Wike gave everything for inorder to defeat Atiku at the last primaries would turned his back at Wike when he needed him. Same goes for Obaseki who was an orphan in APC until Wike gave him a platform at the last hour. The story of Ihedioha was not different either, Wike gave him all the support to defeat Okorocha. Look how he was paid back.

-Okoro bufo

That's politics for you,one needs to be prepared for betrayal game knowing fully well that there is no permanent friend or enemy but permanent interest
Saraki was campaign director for Atiku in 2019 but contested against him now, Wike worked for Tambuwal in 2019
This is the 2nd time Tambuwal is backstabbing a Southern politician. Ist was when he worked against Gbajabiamila emergence in 2015 as speaker despite all Tinubu did for him

tunjijones:
Did anyone remember that the PDP chairman promised that he will resign and handover to a southerner if a northerner wins the PDP president ticket.

Let's keep watching if he will actually resign.

And atiku said he will rule for only one term and handover to a southern East person. We are watching.....

Yes he said because ab initio, he was working for Atiku's ambition, their desperation will certainly fail

Atiku will not win the election at all. Ayu is a very biased man working for the northern political hegemony. He just worked for Atiku's emergence. PDP will be roundly defeated all over the nation

tonididdy:
90% chance he'll be
APC will likely field a Southerner candidate ( just to calm the one Nigeria nerves, not like they care ), no southern candidate will survive the northern votes in 2023 because even some if not most southerners will vote atiku, just so PDP is in presidency, remember PDP is more dominant in the South.

A southern divided vote is no match for the North's United vote!

either way an aboki must be President again! Next year.

SE can make concessions and allow Amaechi to pick the ticket but SW cannot so North is at vantage position to continue by 2023
Still on the matter, Amaechi remains the best option for APC and as such the unity candidate for one, strong United Nigeria

Siwel25:
Bitterness everywhere in your land. Did U hear the NE say power should go to the South if it doesn't go to them? Nobody excluded Ibos from contesting; They just do not know how to play the right politics to win. Didn't Ekeueme strongly contest with Obasanjo in 1998? No region has ever been dashed the Presidency cos U must prove yourself worthy of the ticket. I will never vote a Fulani man after 8 years of Buhari though. Kingsley Moghalu is the best of the rest and he will get my vote if APC goes North. I won't use my hands to destroy the negotiation power of the South.

You won't vote Moghalu at all

VEHINTOLAR:
Aboki just calm down,we are eagerly awaiting APC to announce a northerner too as its flag bearer ! Trust me,you haven't seen "chest beating" before ! Ode,aboki fulani slave !

Nothing will happen if they choose a northern candidate, you can call me any name you like

TempleHouse:
Very likely and unfortunately that power is going back to the North.The permutations now is that the North will vote for the Northern candidate even if APC present a Southerner !
Tinubu unfortunately can’t beat Atiku in this election due to health issues and the general unacceptability from the whole South.
The sentiment of Tambuwal stepping down for Atiku to clinch the ticket has resonated with the Northerners to embrace the opportunity for the Presidency to remain in the North!
So sad for our Democracy but it’s a hard price to pay for the Southerners (SE, SS and SW) for not embracing dialogue and open unification to address the most important issues.

Southern disdain for SE just as Orji Uzor Kalu posited is causing all these. SW people always say power is not given you must work for it. 1999 the whole of South ensured OBJ won even when SW didn't support him
North regards SE more than their neighbours

VEHINTOLAR:
Is Akeredolu now a PDP member or what exactly is the point here ? Akeredolu's point is very clear and that's;a northerner cannot succeed Buhari ! That war that the northerners have always threatened everybody with,they better be ready for it ! I don't know about others,but Yoruba people won't accept another northerner in Aso Rock for just a day ! There may not be any election in 2023 as earlier prophesied by some religious people. Let APC announce a northerner too as its flag bearer and wait to see the mother of all "gbege" ! How somebody is going to force two major regions of Nigeria - East and West to remain parts of Nigeria,we shall see ! The population these crazy northerners are shouting all around that they have,they will use it to rule themselves !

Mad Almajiris everywhere !

No gbege will happen at all, the worst people from South to do is to abstain from voting or work against the party candidate, at the end power will still remain in the north.

VEHINTOLAR:
Then wait and see us,Yoruba in action ! Nigeria will break up this time around should any northerner is declared winner of 2023 presidential elections. Power cannot just remain in the North;it won't happen !

Oga, nobody will break Nigeria, stop all these chest beating

ezegenigbonine:
I bet you if tinubu wins the ticket, all northerners will prefare there brother atiku even if he is a serial criminal.

Tinubu is a greedy and tribal, desperate politician that short-changed the rest of the South to ensure SW supremacy in APC. He use Magnus Abe to scuttle Amaech's influence through inceesant court cases that made APC not to present candidates in 2019 in Rivers. He used Oshiomhole to finish Rochas in Imo state.
Speaker of House Representative was supposed to be SE but he ensured that his political son Gbajabiamila got it after SW has collected VP leaving SE with no principal position.
Tinubu will be roundly rejected by other APC stakeholders in Southern Nigeria
Amaechi remains the unity candidate for APC

Hotice007:
Oga carry your tribalist and religious point of view go somewhere else. Comments like this are disgusting. I have yoruba friends and even hausa friends who are voting for peter obi. You people should stop bring ethnicity and religion into polities. Grow up

Ideally you are right,but politics in Nigeria is a combination of ethnicity and religion, the stark reality

Once Tinubu's picks APC'S ticket, Atiku will just go and sleep and start celebration in advance of his victory. Tinubu's defeat will be so monumental from South to North, even Tinubu will even lose in Lagos.
SWAGA are bunch of tribal sychopants trying to cajole APC into supporting a cannot draw candidate
APC can never make the mistake of giving Tinubu ticket
Amaechi remains the best option for APC as it stands now that can win the election for APC
He has the competence, capacity, energy and track records that will win the election. Any candidate besides him in APC will be a very hard sell

ZombieSlaughter:
Didn't I tell you yorubas that you will dribble yourselves into a very tight corner with your ceaseless scheming and insults to other southerners.

The Igbos who have voted SW and SS presidents previously cannot be the problem of the south. It is the greedy SW who think they are smarter than everyone else, when everyone knows it is the turn of the SOUTH EAST that should be blamed, even though I know you can't do that, since you are yoruba pretending to be a Bini.

As you yoruba always say 'power is not given but taken' 'winner takes all". On that, I wish you goodluck and Godspeed.

This statement is so bad, for Southern Nigeria to retain power they must make some compromise and forget statement like this. Since SE and SW are daggers drawn let APC give an Amaechi the ticket. He has the competence and national reach to win the election

Esama:
Okay we are watching.

Amaechi is the best bet for APC to retain power in Southern Nigeria, any other candidate will make North to retain power.But will the SW agree? The SE can concede to SS. It's a difficult position for Southern Nigeria. All depends on north to win elections with little or no regards to fellow Southerner. PMB have a big role to play in this election

Esama:
If we southern Nigeria not put our house in order and settle our differences now I'm afraid north will retain power in 2023 the plans of north is obvious to see.

Let me tell you the truth the worst southern person will perform wonderfully than any northern. Also know that Buhari is better than Atiku in ethnic and religious views Atiku is a snake dude is very cunning.

If you think you hate igbo and you think you hate Yoruba and north retained power we will jinx together no problem.

Igbo and Yoruba are the problem of southerner Nigeria I just don't know what is wrong with them...Atiku have said it numerous time that he don't play about his tribe fulani have you ever see Atiku condemn fulani atrocities in Nigeria?

North are really cunning in order to retain power they want to give Jonathan apc presidential ticket so Atiku can beat him black and blue even doubt if Jonathan can win his local government in bayelsa not to talk of whole southern.

If they want power to come to South, Amaechi remains the most accepted across Nigeria and can bring winning for APC.Anything short of this will be a difficult one for APC
SE deserves to produce the president but with the situation on the ground, no party will zone their ticket there. Field a SW person, the rest of South will feel cheated after ruling 8 years for President and VP and they will look elsewhere
If APC field a Northerner, the South will end up sabotaging the person

Golan007:
I agree.

Osinbajo and a strong NW candidate would neutralise Atiku's Northern influence and completely dillute south.

If APC can't field am Amaechi from South, they should forget the elections . A SW candidate is a cannot draw game, for APC

ecoco2014:
One of these 3:
-Emmanuel Udom
-Douye Diri
-Okezie Ikpeazu

What do you think?

Okowa or Obaseki

Yemiwonder:
Tinubu will defeat this prostitute politician with a large margin come 2023

Let Tinubu win APC'S primaries first nah

Ibcrown:
Tinubu is the only man that can give Atiku a run for his money in Apc, any other candidate is a walk over for him

Tinubu is old and looks very frail

Foolishbuhari:

Baba don rush give statement for election when him no go dey. E go be am like person when roll Igbouex no smoke am

GoldCircle:
Nonsense statement! See the lightning speed with which he issued his congratulatory message. I know his tactics, he’s trying play a smart one in case he doesn’t get the ticket in his party so he can use the same strategy he used with GEJ in 2011.

. That's has been his strategy over the years. Once he loses the ticket he will instruct his supporters to vote PDP as he did then at the federal level
Tinubu don't have the energy to start building another party, he is relying heavily on PMB'S sure 10M voted in the north

sucess001:
Political apathy? Yet you are all rushing behind obi? And if not him Wike?

Igbos are so predictable.

Obi's case na just media hype by SE in PDP, how many have followed him to Labor Party?
Many don't have voters card, I will say it categorically again that most Igbos don't care about who governs this nation
Have Obi's media noise not died down?
Meanwhile politics is an industry a lucrative one in Nigeria and a hustle too.
Know this and know peace

Urheadmaster:
But aren't you surprised same party that chased Good luck Jonathan is the same party that want him to be the next Nigeria president

Just to make sure that a weakling from South that can only rule a single tenure gets it. Jonathan running on the ticket of APC will be his greatest betrayal of Southern Nigeria and SE in particular. Anyway GEJ don't even give a damn about anybody but his wife
Any there is morality in politics, interest is the constant thing in this game and industry of politics
Politics remains the most viable and lucrative industry in Nigeria

Tomek09:
Tambuwal betrayed Wike. Lol

Betrayal is part of politics that's the bitter truth. There's no morality in politics at all
