Kwankwaso is 66 according to this thread. If he steps down for Atiku and if Akitu eventually wins. He will be doing 8 years. Power moves to the south for another 8 years, altogether making it 16 years.
If it plays out this way, does Kwankwaso have any chance of being the president of Nigeria?
How old will he be by then?
Indeed, interesting time ahead.

Hahahahahahaaaaaa. Lol! My friend you're funny oh?! Why do you think people are struggling now for this thing?

If the North wins this one who told you they will just hand over the next one to you? If you're not ready and fit to take it now don't expect anyone to freely give it to you later on.
Be wise son!!

The Shock Some People would Receive when the Election Results are announced
Anyway they must not resort to violence

After this elections your old and rusty candidate should go and learn national politics, Nigeria-no-be-Lagos. His strategy stinks!

Tinubu is a joke taken too far. I've never seen a more nonsense, and tribalistic campaign strategy. I don't blame him, this is his first time campaigning on a national scale he thinks Nigeria is Lagos, he's highly inexperienced. It's not all money and bravado.

While others are either building bridges or pretending they're building, Tinubu is burning already built bridges with tribal and religious politics. Very foolish and finished old shege wawa (Sorry to say).

Seun please where is the dislike button? This post needs it badly!

Peter Obi or nothing!

Another game changer is this. Peter Obi needs to learn a few sentences in Hausa right away and scatter the crowd with good Hausa language. That my friends will work wonders. Talk to them in their tongue!

I will happily teach him that.

Zonefree:
Yes, the votes will be shared IF Kwankwaso remains in the game.

If Peter Obi can get enough people in the South and Middle Belt to come out enmass and vote it will be a game changer. There's voter apathy in the North, a deal breaker.

Zonefree:
Let's be frank to ourselves for a moment, it's game over for Labour Party and APC should Kwankwaso step down for Atiku.

I don't just disagree but I think this statement is a big fallacy.

Atiku himself isn't sure of a landslide victory in the Core North. Those votes will be shared like biscuits.

1. First of all let's talk about Kwankwaso's carrier shall we?

Kwankwaso is a 66 years old man from Kano State Nigeria, who was a former governor from said state.

Kwankwaso is a regional politician seeking national appeal and stepping down for Atiku, after aligning with Buhari in 2015 will cement that in the eyes of Nigerians in general. He will be seen as a hero by some and a sectional jingoist by others. He will never recover from that perception.

2. Let's talk about his supporters.

Kwankwaso commands respect, admiration and following from his supporters and Northern elites in general. Now, let's imagine for once Peter Obi steps down for a candidate, any candidate. Let's say Tinubu. About half of his supporters will decide against voting at all out of disappointment cos they see Obi, not Tinubu, as the Messiah, right and fit for the job. Some will change their support to others while the rest will go for the said Tinubu.

Same with Kwankwaso stepping down for Atiku, who many Northerners do not have faith in and question his character. Many will decide against voting, some will change support, many others will go for the said Atiku. But after Buhari Northerners want someone they trust not only someone they share blood and language with. About 30 percent will not vote, 30 will change candidate, the other 40 will go for Atiku.

I really will love to see and read Kwankwaso's speech and reasons on the day he steps down.

3. Let's talk about subsequent reactions from the South now shall we.

This one is funny cos the assumption is that there are still very plenty Atiku supporters in the South. Yes there are a lot, but the sentiment about power going to the South stands. Kwankwaso stepping down will do damage to Atiku in other regions, the amount still unknown.

When Kwankwaso steps down for Atiku a lot of his supporters, elites too, will tactfully withdraw their support for the PDP and Atiku. Eyes will be opened and people will see it like a North vs South issue. The G5 will be emboldened, the G5 will tactfully turn to the G6,7 ,8, 9 etc. Atiku will receive a blow in the South. Finally at the last minute the G whatever will have enough reason and will endorse the Labour Party's Peter Obi, tactfully. Don't argue this one it's already getting too obvious.

4. Let's talk about the two candidates from the South.

Like it or not the two Southern candidates will get good numbers in the core North too, especially Tiinubu. Peter Obi will surprise people, especially when Kwankwaso steps down cos his supporters have a lot in common with Obi's. Atiku is not getting unanimous support like Buhari in the North, even Buhari's popularity is bad for PR. Votes will be shared here.

5. Let's talk about who then really determines who wins this election.

The somewhat neutral people will determine that, they who have always did. The Middle Belt that is!! I don't mean the North Central alone here but entire Northern Christians.
All these is if the elections are free and fair.

But we'll see!

excellence44:
Same here. Osinbajo was my number 1 choice before the criminal of Lagos hijacked the stuff with his stolen money.
This is why many of his fellow contestants aren't with him.
Between 26 to 1st of March he will get the shocker of his life and maybe retire permanently.

I might not be an Igbo but coming across that post and more like them made me realize that was an opportunity for APC to have swept the SE and Even SS. They think it was only PDP that suffered the Peter Obi effect but they're wrong, very wrong. And they're about to find out the hard way!

Antoeni:
God Save You

Ah ah why? That was when I was an afonja now.

Ttalk I remember when we agreed about the same thing, before I became an IPOB and Nyamiri. Lol.

I've been writing a lot in support of Labour Party and Peter Obi I forgot when I almost became an APC person, why and cos of whom. I just discovered an old post I made in may last year before the APC primaries in support of the Osinbajo Presidency.

Later, when APC gave their ticket to Tinubu and Atiku took the PDP ticket things metamorphosed and Peter Obi of LP became the only other option, an even better one actually.

How much things can change in such a short time....! God please Nigeria.

If someone can't cook they shouldn't eat, man oh woman! But a woman especially should and most know or learn how to cook. It's a no brainer, in the absence of such that's one of the reasons we see high rate divorce among people who differ in such opinions.

The people of old have maintained the institution of marriage for as old as man because they have discovered the right formula to do that. We are seeing the trashing and destroying of marriage in this generation by people with twisted differing opinions of "woke", feminists, Lilith worshipping agenda.

A man looking to have a peaceful,fulfilled live and marriage should be careful and flee from these worshippers of Lilith in all forms.

This is not Even redpill,this is common sense!

BATified2023:
please vex well n vote Labour party

Will do sir, ehn don dey happen already.

BATified2023:
u have been voting for pdp but u will vote for lp meaning u would have vote atiku before n now u will vote peter obi meaning it doesn’t affect tinubu but will only tear atiku chances
We implore u to vote more for peter obi

Do you think it's only PDP that are affected? You need to leave your community to other parts of Nigeria for once. People dey vex oh?!

[quote author=MadamExcellency post=120476057][/quote]Is that why his minions are dissatisfied with the Naira change?

JASONjnr:
Never been paid to vote anyone....
I've always voted for my candidate without collecting any dime from any inducer.
I started voting in 1999....I am a PDP card carrier and today I am still a PDP card carrier.
But I will carefully and with my chest raised up, vote for Peter Obi.
And if any inducer confronts me to vote for Tinubu, I will collect the money and still vote for Peter Obi.

Wow! I thought they said Labour Party has no real voters, just hype?

tyba:
4 of our neighbors were paid 5k each to vote for the ruling party in 2015. I can remember the Bank Note they paid them with was even smelling like kilode
Some of the money were torn or very weak

Do they usually stay there and see who you're voting to confirm?
5k is big money then.

"Vote buying" is one of the more popular phrases in this elections period. But how does it work, who has ever been approached to sell their vote and who has actually sold his? How does it work?

Please share, lets know.

OLAADEGBU:
I agree that religion can do that to you. Why not turn your mourning into dancing by praising the Lord?

You dey answer that person? You strong oh!! She will never relent, never agree with any differing opinions except hers. Even if you agree with her she puts you in the other end so as to continue the argument.

Hers is a psychology issue.

drlateef:
Zombie!!! Wait for the election result. The next thing we will hear is “biafra or death”.

Who told you I am Igbo in the first place? Na unna go cry!

MITCHELL96:
I've left this thread abeg, people acting like they know too much but actually don't 😕

Don't allow people make you hasty and emotional, let them cry I want to drink tears.

Aldol:
It's ok let's see how this goes

What you don't know about you and your principal's cries in public is that you are turning Buhari's block votes to OBIdients in disguise. You are making it seem Buhari supports Peter Obi, and in so doing Buhari's supporters will begin to align with the new movement.

Be wise boy, tell your Emilokan, even though he seems to have gotten the hint already.

Aldol:
Apart from nairaland, majority of Nigerians are not happy about this deadline because of the unavailability of the new notes. It's also a good thing to know that those people complaining all over Nigerians are Apc supporters

You are right, even I am not very happy with it, but it is only temporal. What then is your fear? Why are you all over the place crying?

Bring that cheeks here, I want to lick your sweet tears boy.

Penguin2:
You are right!
To think that I now like Buhari is enough to know that Buhari is on his way to immortality in the hearts of Nigerians.
And just imagine if Obi wins this election, Buhari will forever be in our hearts.
I pray he doesn’t bulge to the noise of Tinubu and his urchins.

It's quite funny that Nigerians are divided into two by this policy. While all groups admit its negative impact, some believe it's endurable for a short time for the better. The others say no, now now is what we want.

Why are OBIdients more confident in a free, fair elections than all the others and their candidates?

OfficialAPCNig:
OBIdients are in the majority nah.
PVC registration was extended when they protested against INEC, PVC collection was extended twice and withdrawal limit was also increased.
But OBIdients are quite about currency swap.

I feel you, but are you OfficialAPCNig or are you OBIdient. I can't tell.

peepydelano:
Obidients I feel for una sha

Don't feel, think my brother, think! That's the antidote.

MITCHELL96:
I love what he's doing, I've been angry at Buhari all these while but this particular card he's playing made me forget he had offended Nigerias with bad governance.
Now, anything to stop Tinubu is welcomed. We all know he has stacked billions of naira in his mansion and is ready to spend all of them in buying his way into Aso Rock.
He doesn't even care even care how much he spends as long as he wins, he'll recover whatever he has spent that's why we sane Nigerias need to stop him at all cost.

Baba nobody really send that old man, Tinubu. Over 200 million lives cannot be sacrificed for "Emilokan".

When the withdrawal limit was pecked at N20,000 a day and N100,000 a week, notice what happened. There was uproar, from all angles of the country. I wrote about it multiple times, venting frustration out through the roof. Many of us gave reasons it can't and shouldn't work.

The Government since increased the withdrawal limit. It has also increased the PVC collection date twice.

But they continue to refuse to extend the deadline for the collation of the old Naira notes.

What has changed? I mean, the Government can increase the limit by 2 weeks and it won't interfere with the elections. Then why haven't they, really?!

Cos the majority are either quite about it or are actually even celebrating the policy. The majority that should vent anger and cry about it online and off are either indifferent or in support of it, for once.

This is probably the most people affected yet people approved policy by the Buhari administration, and he knows it very well. That's why not even the house of reps, the Senate, the coalition of governors, the Bank managers, the opposition together with Tinubu, even the cabals can make him change his mind so far.

Don't get me wrong, I am so affected I can't even buy bread. Don't get me wrong, the policy is highly injurious to the nation, and soon like India, Nigeria will realize that reality.

But I feel Buhari envies Goodluck Jonathan's live from his transition of power to current, and how much respect he gets now from Nigerians and internationally. When GoodLuck says "my ambition is not worth the live of any Nigerian", Buhari is trying to say in his last months as President, "every Nigerian is free to vote any candidate of their choice, no intimidation, no monetary inducement, just free, fair, credible elections". He want to leave the way he came, but better.

Buhari might leave office a celebrity of democracy, I think!!

Stop looking down on us, I might be black but not stupid. Your negativity does not cause development.

dat9jaguy:
You made me waste my data. Which solution did he provide there apart from saying the navy must know every ship that enters it's territorial waters and also tracing where they are going. Is this a solution because this is already being done. The lamba king even goofed when he said only Nigeria and Venezuela were not meeting OPEC quotas. All OPEC members are not meeting their quotas.

The moment you used that word, "lamba", it made me realize who I am conversing with. My talk with you ends here sorry to say. Bye!

Enoch07:
I get, but still I'm afraid for the man. He's contesting against some strong men, I'll just give him my one vote and pray.

I don't understand that phrase, "strong men".
He has my support and I am a strong man too, he has OBJ's and he too is a strong man. If he has the support of the majority that invalidates the power of any group of strong men, cos the people are the absolute strong men in any nation.
