Politics / Re: State-by State Analysis: Predicting The Winner Of 2023 Presidential Election by mandarin: 1:19pm On Feb 05, 2023 |
Thanks for your analysis. You under estimated APC performance in Southwest and in Southsouth. APC won't win less than 70% in states outside of Lagos and at least 55% in Lagos. This is the worst case scenario. I expect APC to have 25% across SS states and score above 30% in Edo, Bayelsa, Cross River. Believe me, APC may even score highest votes in Bayelsa if it reproduce its %age performance of 2019. Delta is another state because the same Delta areas have Obi and Okowa as popular candidates and, Delta South will crown the winner. APC may come second there. Rivers depends on Wike and his followers. APC will perform better than your projections across the North. Apart from Sokoto NWand NE will return 30% and above to APC send LP may not win above 10% across NW and NE. The key obstacle to LP will be its inability to score 25% in 24states ,(please mark this) So technically it's between APC and PDP they are capable of getting 24% across 24states and FCT. If thr LP momentum can be sustained, its on a standby whenever Kwankwaso and Tambuwal are scheming to come in in next dispensation. |

Politics / Re: ‘I Wrote It For History’— Soludo Defends Article Forecasting Obi’s Defeat by mandarin: 3:23pm On Jan 20, 2023 |
My opinion is that Peter Obi can win at least 25% in: 1. Five Southeast states 2. Six south south states Total = 11 states Most probably in : 3. Kaduna state 4. Plateau 5. Benue 6. Lagos Total = 15 He will do well but not up to 25% in other southwest states scoring between 5% - 20% . I think the strategy by the APC is to ensure Igbos don't vote for Atiku and vote Peter Obi which will most probably deny Atiku the spread he will need if he has a majority votes. Atiku's hope is his capacity to have 25% votes across all the 19 Northern states. This means he will need just five states in the south to have required winning tally if he has majority votes which he may get in Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Akwa- Ibom and Cross River Except the APC is able to prevent Atiku from getting 25% in may be one or two states in the North Central. The possible states those can be are may be Kwara and Yobe and Borno. If Atiku fails to win 25% in any one state in the 19 northern states, his chances of becoming president will become smaller The chances of Tinubu depends on his percentage performance in Northwest and Northeast. Overall he will need to win at least 45% in the Northeast, 40% in the Northwest, win at the least four states in Northcentral, at least 70% overall in the Southwest and achieve at least 25% across four of the six Southsouth states. Tinubu will probably win Kwara, Niger, Nasarawa and Kogi in Nortcentral. He will most probably win at least 25% in Edo, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Cross River. Wike role will impact both Peter Obi and Tinubu in Rivers. When you look at these chances, you would know that Prof Soludo position is well thought through. Even if the turn out is 100% in areas where Peter Obi supporters are in large number, the key issue is winning a25% across 24 states and FCT. |

Trollronaldo: If you increase Tinubu performance to 70% in Southwest and 25% in South South( a Conservative estimate) then the figure if follow this your trajectory can be more realistic. Another point is that turn out average is what you stated, I do expect turn out to be up to 45%- 52%. Turn out in SS and NC may be lower compared to other regions where there are strong home candidates |
Politics / Re: 2023 Election, My Prediction Based On Facts And Reality. by mandarin: 4:00pm On Jan 13, 2023 |
JoeNL22: The election in the Southwest is not between Tinubu and Obi. Its Tinubu home turf. Please don't overrate Obi in the Southwest. You can only expect good performance from him in Lagos which you can't be sure will be up to 25% because Atiku will also receive anti Tinubu votes too especially among Northern communities. I do beleive the Eastern communities will largely vote Obi in Lagos but with all the votes split across major candidates, its not certain Obi can get 20% in Lagos. Elsewhere in the Southwest will be worse, the farther from Lagos the worse the outcome for Peter Obi because ethnicity will play a key role both in the Southwest and Southeast and religion will play key role in Northwest and Northeast. The Middle Belt and South South are open. It's erroneous to think religion will play a key role in politics in among Yoruba, it has not and won't. The entire Christians I the north won't vote Obi as many of them are either loyal to their leaders, political parties and some will be swayed by ethnicity and religion. I think APC will win about 4 out of 7 states in North Central and Atiku and Obi sharing large numbers in 3. Please note that when the election is called and if APC wins 5 states in NC and do 30% - 40% in NW and NE. They have won otherwise it will go to a run off because the formular is to deny Atiku 25% across 24 states and so far its still successful. Obi has no winning formula to achieving 25% across 24 states at least for now. 1 Like |

OKOATA: I don't know how old you are but I do know you need to improve in decorum. Everyone except Obi supporters are urchins, that's incredible. I said the mistake you are making is believing that Yoruba won't vote Tinubu because he's a Muslim. I said and quote me after the election that Yoruba will vote for Tinubu en masses and he will win the region overwhelmingly. Who are the hristians in Ekiti are they nit Yoruba, Ekiti is the most pro Yoruba state in South west and Ondo state, Osun, in that order. Please note that for a candidate to become president, he or she needs 25% across 24states and must win majority. Peter Obi as at today cannot boast of winning 25% in 24 states. That where having candidates across house of representatives and Senate come in. I just hope Obi followers won't result to violent rioting when their candidates lose in February because they might cite rigging. 1 Like |

OKOATA: The Yoruba follow ethnic line before religion. There is no basis to begin to see Tinubu as a religious jingoist, he was governor of Lagos and Fashola after him have both been open people. Many of you attach a lot of hope and expectations to certain creeds that do not move the needle politically. You need to understand key factors across geopolitical zones. For the Southwest it is first ethnicity then money. Religion has never been a key campaign issues here so that you don't think someone rigged your candidate out of winning in February. I believe Tinubu will win at least 70% in Lagos and up to 95% of votes cast in Ekiti and above 80% in other states of the Southwest. Yoruba have one candidate in this election and whether you accept it or not, religion is not even one of the criteria to analyze him. |

Politics / Only APC Has 25% Across All States Today by mandarin: 8:33am On Dec 28, 2022 |
Let me spare a little time this morning. Key factors in elections in Nigeria: 1. Money 2. Ethnicity 3. Religion These are the core factors that shape voting direction in this country. While a new force like state of the economy is begining to creep in especially the cosmopolitan areas in the south and FCT. In geopolitics these factors influence results differently and I will only speak to Southwest, Northwest and Northeast. Southwest The Southwest is largely influenced by two factors of ethnicity and money. Although the 4th factor of state of the economy will play some roles in Lagos and auxiliary areas of Ogun State, ethnicity is a strong bond that will determine who will win the election. Based on this summation, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is poised to win overwhelmingly with more percentages as you move away from Lagos.its a matter of trlurn out. If campaigns should assume an ethnic dimension, there will be a huge turn out of may be up to 3million. I expect BAT to win at least 2m out of it, Peter Obi and Atiku to share 0.8m and other candidates 0.2m votes. Northwest Religion, ethnicity and money are all at play here. However, religion is a binding factor that can easily sway voters. These factors favor Atiku and Tinubu. If the sitting governors are resolute about working for their parties, money will play huge role. Its a 50-50 chance since Atiku is ethnically Fulani. It all depends on how party supporters troop out to vote. Candidates at the Senate and House of Rep will have huge roles to play. Northeast This is a battleground region. All these three factors will play key roles. Its largely a 56% -38% share for BAT and Atiku repectively. The Kanuri will vote their own in Yobe and Borno. Bauchi and Gombe are open to monetary impacts and Adamawa is for Atiku to lose. Unlike the NW, Peter Obi will have a few numbers here, May be like 3%-5% in few places. One of the key problems is that most voters in Ngeria do vote the same party same day in the north, and the LP seems to have no heavy weight candidates that can compete in these core areas. I will impress on you readers to also note that the Niger Delta is a battle ground since there's no home boy and this may affect turn out of voters. Aside those three core factors, party loyalty and money will play crucial role. The battle here is between PDP and LP while APC will do well in Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, and Cross River crossing the 25% required of it due to certain heavy weights in those states like sitting governor in Cross River, Silva in Bayelsa, Akpabio in Akwa Ibim , Oshiomole in Edo and Omo Agege in Delta. The Southeast is a Peter Obi homegrown and I want to beleive there won't be betrayals as delegates from the region largely voted a northerner against the consensus of voting a southern candidate at the PDP primary. Money will play a huge part here and turn out is key, I expect better turn out than 2019. PDP will still have some votes while APC will get substantial votes in Imo and Ebonyi. Depending on how money moves , expect PDP to get 10%-20% here. I will be surprised if this happen. The real battle ground I the Middle Belt where religions and money will play key roles differently across all the states. We will need to break it down to pieces: I expect FCT to be shared among major candidates across ethnic and religious lines. Nasarawa will follow suit but with APC having a majority followed by PDP and LP. The Yoruba dominated areas of Kwara and Kogi will vote BAT with Atiku following because of his foot soldiers, Kogi will have APC majority votes. Benue, Taraba and Plateau are Christian states and have no ethnic candidates running to be president or Vice President, Senate and HOR candidates and sitting governors will play key roles here. I expect Atiku to win in Taraba and APC to be second and LP third. Benue is too close to call but plateau is battleground state but with APC having most votes because of its foot soldiers. Niger state is between APC and LP. I will not conclude which party will win but if you have popular candidates in your party and your home region accept you, the better your chances. However, while I won't for certainty say who the winner is, statistically I think APC is the only one that can muster 25% across 24 states and FCT today. Probability of winning 25% of votes APC - 26 states + PDP - 22 states + LP - 14 states & FCT Thank you |

Aside being able to eloquently communicate with voters, two of these factors must work for you. However we do have an opportunity to not make them count which I doubt. What I said of Mr Peter Obi is my opinion, I also have opinions on other candidates. He tries to run on general discontents and not on any groundbreaking program His posture is like a man who want the whole world to know that he knows all the problems and all the solutions. By the time drilling starts, you will understand that emotions don't always win except you a democrat in the US( laughs) .

Aufbauh:Kola Abiola is passionate and equipped with untested knowledge. He can make a good special adviser as he lacks the experience and right knowledge. He's equally not aware and prepared for the office of the president. Kola said he's from a humble beginning!! quite laughable. He should have built on his father's legacy and run but I could understand trying to paint his own ideas in stars. Peter obi is trying to run on general discontent due to economic hardship not on ant groundbreaking idea. I have listened to him for quite a while, he's yet to demonstrate the capacity to treat the economic fundamentals. Buying and selling need to go beyond known market risks drivers, there are many factors limiting the market in Nigeria, some are not demand based. If you ask me Mr Peter Obi's problem is the larger than life picture of a know it all he has painted of himself, what I think Nigeria needs is not a know it all person but a man or woman who can build a team that can manage the various strategic exposures. One good thing about the obedient is that the optical class are waking up to that fact that people are now aware and want positive vibes. |

Like him or not, Wike is resisting this guise and I expect him to support any southern candidate of his choice. This pretence by the North to be so pro democracy may sink Nigeria. Power must rotate North to South and we will reach a stage that it can rotate MB and Core Noth then East and West but in principle, it must be North and South.

No economy operates on Peter Obi's model without corresponding exports to balance the trade. The analysis is spot on, you either disprove his argument or agree with him. We need to look at producing what we consume or at least produce reasonable percentage. Obi's plan is to favor traders and importers who could come together and sponsor production of what they sell. If APC didn't do it well, then the focus should be how ca we do it better to bring down prices of made in Nigeria goods. Tactfully speaking, that plan is not good for the economy at all. quote author=Emeks008 post=117357841]This is what former cbn deputy gov said about peter obi economics plan. If you read in between the line of what Reno tweeted above, he deliberately highlighted some two section of Nigeria which is North and south west. He made mentioned of Dangote tomato paste factory in Kano, Textile company in kaduna/Kano and some factories in Ogun and Lagos.

It looks like everything will assume ethnic colouration in no time. With several comments I've read in this post, it appears the target ro ensure Tinubu is not president. I think that will jeopardise whatever strenght this is supposed to portray. More importantly is the usual less than or over a million votes that Lagos usually return during elections. It doesn't guarantee that this effort will provide the best desired by those rallying. They will need to have a winning formula for four Geopolitical zones like in 2011 during GEJ, otherwise when another candidate win, it will look like it was rigged and pandemonium will ensue. Let's understand the dynamics of politics that for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. The North is watching and thinking on what to do. They may force kwankwaso to back down to have a straight fight between APC and PDP with high turn out. The journey is still far to February. |

Osun is not a predominantly Muslim state. Its religious composition is balanced. Adeleke has been a popular candidate and its just his time. It also points to the fact that the sitting governor may have undermined some of his constituencies. This also shows that the southwest especially Osun and Oyo are swing states and performance are key to winning election. I strongly believe its not about PDP and I can just say that a SW candidate will sweep the entire region in presidential election. Politics is local and about sentiments and personal interest globally. |
