Both want to outwit themselves by aligning with BAT first

Its hatred for Yoruba race!! Even if Tinubu had picked a Christian VP, IBO will still not vote for him because his Yoruba.. And you foolish ppl will allow them to divide you through Yoruba Christian and muslim

Is this the same Christian vote Pandora is depending on?

By Nwandugbom Kalu

Congratulations to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, family in Osun State in particular and Nigeria in general. Dancing to the victory steps of Governor-elect Adebola Adeleke is a much needed shot in the arm for a party that lost its way after a nomination process that was ruined by the way and manner the running mate emerged in addition to a political insurgency launched by a former running mate of the party.
Osun people have done for PDP what a million propagandists cannot do: put the party back on course to winning the 2023 presidential election. Winning the native state of Ahmed Bola Tinubu is a major bubble burster for the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate and his party. By February 2023, there will be two PDP state governments in the South- West region that was hitherto seen as Tinubu’s impregnable territory and, by all means, that is a big deal even if it doesn’t translate to PDP winning both states.

Osun has also opened a door for most angry PDP members and supporters that joined the Peter Obi “insurgency” to find a way back to the party because politicians and their supporters love victory and the winning momentum. That Obi’s Labour Party, LP, managed only a paltry 2,729 votes will definitely send a message to candidates of the party who thought they can run on the wave of Obi’s popular acceptance across the country to win governorship seats in other states to re-evaluate and see that Obi’s voters are only interested in him to the exclusion of others. That fact alone gives credence to the no structure quips of Labour Party opponents because a structured party will naturally translate the popularity of its leader to other levels of its tickets.
Yet, we must recognise that Obi still holds the key to PDP winning the 2023 presidential election, albeit in an ironic manner. To date, I am yet to see a sizeable number of APC supporters that have ported to Labour Party whereas most of those backing Obi are former PDP members. This is particularly true in the South-Eastern region that overwhelmingly voted for Atiku in 2019 and Jonathan in 2015.

It, therefore, follows that every potential vote for Peter Obi in the South- East can only benefit Bola Tinubu of APC who ordinarily should not be expected to win substantial votes from the region given his party’s obvious disdain for the people of the area and his personal non-existent relationship with leaders of the region. Indeed, Tinubu does not have to campaign in the South-East as long as Peter Obi maintains his strong momentum going into the 2023 election. For a region that feels marginalised, cheated and abused by others, I don’t also see Obi’s momentum going down without a major political re-engineering.It is also safe to say that given the cause of the angst in the South-East, without Obi being in the ballot the people will ordinarily choose the lesser evil and vote for PDP. Indeed, more than anything the people of the region will wish to see the end of the APC governance in Nigeria even if they don’t get their own son in Aso Rock.

Therein lies the only available strategy for PDP to win the presidential election in 2923, even if a very tough nut to crack: enter into an alliance with Peter Obi that will save Nigeria from APC’s maladministration and give hope to the people of the South-East region. On paper, it will be difficult to get Peter Obi to suspend his ambition but in reality it is very possible knowing that he is not a desperate politician and knows deep down the tall order that it is to win the 2023 presidential election in a country like Nigeria where electoral contests are settled by mundane considerations such as where you come from, how much you are ready to give as “shishi” and who is bankrolling you.

Obi was a former running mate to Atiku Abubakar and understands the stakes. He loves Nigeria and he has all through his public presentations shown that he does not like the way APC is running the country aground. One thing a Peter Obi will never wish is for APC to continue in governance of the country with a candidate that is even less acceptable than the incumbent. Hence, I am personally convinced that Peter Obi can be persuaded to see the real and bigger picture, which is that his political interventions at this time will lead to the perpetuation of bad leadership, one that he is preaching against, on the country. If the leaders of PDP, especially Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, are serious about changing the trajectory of our country positively they must engage Peter Obi immediately and make offers that accommodate him and his running mate in the Presidency of 2023 and going forward. I suspect that if the offer includes making him the economic engine room of the new government with his running mate also playing very key role on youths and innovation, there might be a deal that saves the country from the looming disaster of sociopolitical and economic asphyxiation.

Where it becomes impossible to pacify Obi and his team, we must all celebrate Osun as a momentary victory while preparing for the coming disaster of a likely presidency of Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima that will make Buhari years of anomie look like the best years of Nigeria in living memory.

In simple language, every 2023 vote for Peter Obi in the South-East region is a thinly disguised vote for Tinubu-Shettima presidency. Will Ndigbo, Nigeria and Nigerians survive the consequences?

If Atiku wins the presidential elections. How certain are we after his tensure in 2031, the APC won't try the same working formula as PDP by giving a northerner its ticket

Abokina, OPC is just like Fulani bandits that went out of control, it was initiated just like Amotekun to provide security but diverted from its objectives, it was the Sam Tinubu that crushed

In ba Tinubu ba, zamuyi Atiku.. Amma Allah ya kiyaye Obi, ko ya bayerebe yake, gwanda shi akan nyamuri!

stonemasonn:
@itsTutsi.
Tinubu, Afenifere and OPC are not the problem of Arewa. Arewa is the problem of Arewa.

Can u explain and elaborate more please

stonemasonn:
@itsTutsi.
Tinubu, Afenifere and OPC are not the problem of Arewa. Arewa is the problem of Arewa.

I'm a northerner and I'm voting for Tinubu, whoever u guys have to do ur work in SW, we will give Tinubu at least 40%.. Its left for u guys in SW

Kagd10:
Says Atiku's miscreants.

Lmao.

I'm telling you the faster way to let everyone go to their tent is bringing in another Northerner after an outgoing Northerner. Sink that into your skull.

Tinubu ba enemy din Arewa bane! Wanda suke ta kashe en arewa da kuma media war, sune faction din Afenifere leader Adebanjo.. That's why they hate Tinubu

Arrewa:
Yes!
I don't like Igbos!! And am not apologetic about that!

2023 I will side and vote for Atiku my brother, a nationalist and a unifier!!

At this point in time... If u keep Peter Obi and Tinubu for us to vote!

Believe you me, Peter Obi is going to win the north hands down!!

APC miscalculated by giving their flag to Tinubu.

What happens to Ameachi or Osinbanjo?? Why this Old sick man for God sake??

Someone that I know for sure that Buhari the failure is more better than both mentally and physically...

Dear Yorubas stop trying to blackmail your southern counterpart the Igbos with tribalism and ipob!

There's nothing the Igbos have done to the northerners that Yorubas have not done...

Is it the killings?? We have not forgotten so soon!!

The media war... Using your media to amplify hate against the north, Nairaland inclusive!

You guys should stop forming Saint!!

This is politics, to clear your doubts...

Peter Obi's popularity is growing in the north especially North central and some Part of north west!!

Like i always say " I prefer my face to face enemy over an enemy disguise as a friend stabbing me from behind!!

Tinubu is a failed project!! Bamaso!!

I'm a northerner, but the way I see how other enthinic groups play with Yoruba head around politically, the thing seriously surprises me!! Every tribe and region has its bad eggs, buy what I notice is that other region hides and protect its influential elites, but yoruba, in other to be political correct and woke will be insulting and castigating it's finest people!!

I mean, sincerely, what is the offense of Tinubu!?!? What has he done that other politicians have not done worst to be hated like this!!

No southern or northerner politician has achieved as mush as Tinubu has done, even Ohenazi group has come out to say they wished they had someone like him

Yoruba are letting outsiders to divide them using religion!! Why are u guys doing this to ur self!! If Yoruba miss this opportunity, they will be in opposition for 16yrs

Goke7:
All na lie, did ambode offend tinubu? Ambode offended the party faithfulls, tinubu tried to save him but the party faithfulls threatened to vote otherwise. The tinubu leadership of the party have been unfairly villified. We have worst God fathers in many states in Nigeria but only tinubu gets more whips

Lol! Sorry bro, no be fight.. I know I have punctured ur heart, but many northerners just like I, will be voting Tinubu

Realtalk20:
Stop spamming the forum!!

You have the right to vote whomever you want and to claim to be from anywhere. I know how we Areas talk and you aren't one.

Goodluck

Lol! I'm not a Yoruba man and I have never claimed to be one.. I know it hurts seeing a northerner that will vite for Tinubu

Realtalk20:
You rightly said you will vote Tinubu , the red tof us won't so good luck. Yoruba man.

Your just putting a ruse and trying to sound cocky, but ur far from the the truth!! Although there are sentiments in favour of Atiku being a northerner, but for u to say no northerner will vote for APC/Tinubu is a lie!

1- I'm a northerner Hausa/fulani, I and my family will be voting for Tinubu just like many northerners

2- Buhari still has a major role to play if he decides to campaign for Tinubu

3- most of masses in the north will vote who the leaders eg Buhari/governors dictate them to, unlike the south who are independent

Realtalk20:
Telling me I don't sound logical and didn't reason my comment is an insult sir.

Please refrain from such. Let me tell you boldly and bluntly. The currently governor or Borno is far more popular than Shettima FYi . H E .Babagana Umara Zulum.
Let me repeat for the last time if you didn't understand me, forget what you tell yourselves in the media down there. No Northerner or Hausa ,kanuri or Fulani origin will ever vote Tinubu over Atiku.

Take this 100% . It will be apparent when the votes start rolling in state by state next year. There are things we do not need to argue about. Whe can stay here arguing how apples are oranges all day or wait for the tasting.
Pls don't believe me share more money around we need it. But when election time comes you will understand the reality.

Tinubu should focus all his efforts down south and forget here. He will get nothing here save a few pocket votes of maybe 100k here and there that would be it.

Bro I'm Hausa/Fulani from north and I'm voting Tinubu, just like many northerners.. Shettima is kanuri and they control Borno, yobe and some parts of gombe state.. This will give Atiku a run for his money in NE!! don't forget his the godfather of Zulum and Zulum is the most loved politician in NE

Voting pattern of north is different compared to south.. In the north,the leaders, mostly governors dictate to the masses who to vote(unfortunately)

Realtalk20:
Please I would prefer you refrain from insults. I expected you to speak in the same manner I did. If you revert to insults I will end the conversation.

I don't speak without reasoning and facts. Let me repeat. No Northern Muslim of Hausa ,kanuri or Fulani origin will vote Tinubu over Atiku in the coming elections next year.

Only the bieribe (Yoruba muslim) will vote for him here.

Take it or leave it.

Bro, I am Hausa/Fulani from the north and I'm voting Tinubu.. Shettima is kanuri, and he will definitely sweep Borno and Yobe state

Tinubu will get nothing less than 40% in the north.. Elections are done differently in the north compared to the south, in the north, we follow who our leaders dictate to us..

Realtalk20:
Little knowledge of the North you say? Hahahahahahaha oh my .. no you didn't just say that!!!

One thing I find amusing about you people is your total disconnect from reality and I find it amusing.

Let me reiterate, I can put my money wehre my mouth is and tell you , boldy no northern Muslim or Hausa ,kanuri or Fulani extraction will vote for Tinubu come elections. Mark these words pls hold it to my face as the firgured start coming in.

Only the bieribe, (Yoruba Muslims ) will vote for Tinubu. These are only stark facts

Alright, thanks.. You have given me some hope, I hope APC wins it

TinubuNG:
APC is winning this and PDP know, that's why they keep flooding media with fake results.

You will notice they have stop posting that PDP situation room results now

Bro are u sure APC still has hope?

TinubuNG:
APC is winning this o but I'm sure ,that's the last thing you will believe

Bro, sure say we/APC get hope?

TinubuNG:
APC is winning this o but I'm sure ,that's the last thing you will believe

Bro, seems APC us doing bad in this election, what's going on??

I'm.not from Osun state, so I'm a bit lost

ejimatic:
. Thundeous votes by APC

Ranka ya Dade!

Ur only knowing this now that ur scoring 0 ba!

NwaIdeato:
Aside from Lagos with a huge Igbo population and more cosmopolitan outlook, any discerning mind would have known Obi has no interest, chance or need in winning any SW state. Obi merely showed up for Lasun Yusuf to show solidarity and fulfill all righteousness. The Osun election was always going to be a straight dog fight between APC and PDP, other parties just came to share rice and enjoy the drama.

Osun election is absolutely of no importance to Obi, and as I earlier stated, every Labor Party supporter is secretly or publicly supporting PDP to win Osun, a win for PDP is indirectly a win for LP.

No evidence, everyone could make it up!! The fool even had to tag Davido for cheap popularity or to get some crumbs

Lol! Us northerners don't make noise, have u seen any northern elite/politician come out to castigate APC/Tinubu ticket.. This is a former governor oooh!! These are the ppl doing underground work, while, PO fans are desperately cherry picking northerners comments on social media to deceive and mispresent the reality on ground

I'm a northerner, and u don't speak on my behalf.. I'm voting Tinubu for president

Truthisunique2:
Irrespective of party the north would support north and a real Muslim 2023

Thanks bro
