Inasmuch it is tempting to vote for Peter Obi, but the truth is that Obi is unlikely to win and a vote for Peter Obi is a vote forTinubu. That's just how complicated going into this election will be.

sukar886:
So we will leave peter obi and vote for PDP or APC, God forbid... It won't happen

All this your analysis was done without including Kaduna State, which means you don't know or don't appreciate the voting power of Kaduna State. Do you know that in the 2019 presidential election, Kaduna State gave PDP the highest votes in the country ahead of so called PDP strongholds of Rivers, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Anambra?

You don't understand the complexity of religion in Northern Nigeria. The interpretation and practice of Islam in Northern Nigeria is different from that of the South.

TheNiceGuy:
My brother, I'm reemphasizing it that Yorubas has no issue with Muslim-Muslim ticket.

Olagunso oyinlola and erelu olushola obada were both Christian in Osun Muslim dominated State and they served for almost 8 yrs as Governor and deputy Governor.

The current aspirant of PDP for guber poll in Osun is a Christian who because of election just chose to be hearing his Muslim given name
He has a Christian Deputy. No one is shouting.

Ondo, ekiti has been practicing this and we've not been hearing noise.

Leave Yoruba with this, we have no problem with Muslim-Muslim ticket.

I'm a staunch supporter of tinubu, do you think if Oshinbajo emerge someone like me won't switch to his support?

Muslim/Muslim ticket will flourish for APC at the presidential election. Kaduna state votes to the PDP in 2019 presidential election was higher than any South Eastern state votes to the PDP. This time around, with a Muslim/Muslim joint ticket, those massive votes will still be delivered to APC.

As a Muslim Will you be comfortable with a Christian Christian presidency? Please be sincere.

farouk2much:
We will not allow any Christian from the north to be vice for tinubu

I concur with you. No matter how much I love Tinubu, I will never vote for him if he picks a northern Muslim as running mate. Southern Muslims may not see it as a problem but we Christians in the North know what we are Passing through.

jaxxy:
it was 100times better than what we saw under buhari because Osinbajo wasn't given chance to express his opinion talk more of when there is no Christian representation Christians will be looked at like 2nd or 3rd class citizens. God forbid!

Any Christian who votes a Muslim/Muslim ticket in this present and current Nigeria is a fool.

It will be very very wrong precedent.

Please bring on the Muslim-Muslim ticket so that the insignificant Christian votes, as you said, in Kaduna, Benue, Plateau, Taraba, etc. can be confirmed.quote [author=ebbo post=113651352]




Christians votes from the north is insignificant na, u guys are far far minority with out an head office.
Next time pls remove Kaduna,Kogi,Nasarawa and Niger state from ur analysis i carry God beg u, because these 4 states are muslim states.
Niger,Kaduna and Nasarawa states all have muslim governors and deputies. Whereby to become a governor in Kogi state u must be a muslim first.[/quote]

I don't think any northern Muslim will be persuaded to vote a Christian-Christian presidential ticket in Nigeria. As a Christian and a Northerner, I will never vote a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket. Never! I am strongly in support of a Southern president, but a Muslim-Muslim presidency is a big NO to me. If Tinubu should try it, the Atiku campaign team will have a strong point to campaign against and APC will lose so many votes in Kaduna, Plateau, Benue, Nasarawa, Kogi, Taraba, and even Niger state.

Buhari has got my respect. Even with all the temptations, Buhari restrained himself from imposing a candidate. This, Obasanjo Will never do.

I concur. Somebody said he was going to fight dirty and the result of his dirty fight is now manifesting. They should keep hating and doubting. Atiku's humiliating defeat next year will be too much to imagine.

Funflipper:
You guys have come again with yet another. Even with the outcome of this APC presidential primaries, you guys still don't know how elections are won and lost in Nigeria. Atiku stand no chance against Tinubu in next year's election.

Tinubu's greatest hurdle to the presidency was the primary. He has crossed the hurdle. Who can now stop him? Atiku? I laugh in my native language.

On Mondays we usually sing: ise bere loni Monday enyi elegbe wa....and on Fridays: ise pari loni Friday enyi elegbe wa....

I miss Army Children School Mokola Ibadan (1982 - 1988), the best in march pass on every children's day and independence day.

You guys are just funny and at the same time confused. They (APC northerner governors) said for the sake of fairness and justice power should shift to the South. You are here saying that they only want to destabilise the South and would vote Atiku. If they had said North should retain power you would still have complained. What really do you want? If at the end an APC southern candidate won the presidential election, I am sure you will still have negative comments to make.

Sunnycliff:
All northern votes is for Atiku. They wan to distabilize the south by giving them apc

This one is Ebira of Kogi State.

Goalnaldo:
The name "onotu" looks like our tribal name here in Delta.

A very nice man really. I still reminisce the day he picked me up and I accompanied him, one after the other, to three different mass at the out stations under St. Peter's Ajaokuta parish. It was fun at the same time exhausting.

pepperdemzombie:
Very very nice man to the core. He was a Lecturer at FCE Okene, loved by everyone. May God intervene.

This is my very close friend. We met in 2005 when he was assistant Parish priest at St. Peter's Catholic Church Ajaokuta. God, please intervene for Reverend father Christopher Itopa Onotu to be free from his abductors.

You have third force and fourth force in Labour party and NNPP as alternatives now.

sammyj:
The confusion in APC is nothing to write home about. I just wish a third force come in this election to sweep both APC and PDP away. These two parties are EVIL !!!

Tinubu might just become APC's presidential flag bearer to the astonishment of many. In politics you never can tell.

Tinubu is paying a huge price for being a leader. I pray he survives.

May God bless your hustle Asiwaju. Some say you're corrupt and have looted Lagos but a candidate was marketed to us as a Saint and uncorrupt. We voted for the Saint and the reward: nepotism, kidnapping, banditry, insurgency, terrorism, and even corruption.

Should we vote for a "he is not corrupt" and end up worse than now or vote for some one with proven track records?

Peter Obi may be a good candidate but how is he going to win with his popularity largely in the SS and SE?

Authoreety:
My fellow citizens let us put hands togeda to vote out all this power hungry mongers


Lets vote PETER OBI so the directive can be changed

Tell your siblings and your parents...

Together we can..

These guy's hav taken us on a ride for so long

₦100m? Yet some visionless people are in support of Buhari handpicking his successor so that this vicious circle continues.

Buhari is a Fulani and is completing is 2 terms of eight years. It will only be fair for power to return to the South. Another eight years presidency of a Fulani be it Atiku or any other is an undeniable evidence that the Fulani's conquest of Nigeria is complete.

Why would the party allowed members to spend ₦100m in picking forms and then turned around to say consensus? This is injustice and undemocratic.

Magnus Abe is a fine politician and has the potential to win Rivers State governorship election but Amaechi won't allow him because of Amaechi's selfish interest. Why support a Tonye Cole that stands no chance to win.

I am disappointed with this your post for its Insincerity. I am a core northerner and if you are one you should know that non Muslims are not respected in some parts of the North. I have been called harne and kafir countless of times by Muslims in the North. Where is the respect? Again, as a Christian and indigene of Kano,no matter your qualifications, can one be appointed into important political office?

Anyone that FAILS TO LISTEN won't FAILS TO SEE.

RESPECT MY BELIEVE I RESPECT YOURS

will YOU DIE if you don't Disrespect someone belief.

I am not against Peter Obi and won't have any problem for him succeeding PMB. But can he get PDP ticket?

Bonesbreaker:
SS and SE and even SW states middle belt on strictly locked down for obi sure 4odd with a Northern as VP in North PETER OBI IS A WINNER THIS I KNOW BUT WE ARE NOT GIVING UP WE ARE MOVING TO NORTH WITH EVERY THING IN OUR POWER WE DEMAND CHANGE WE DEMAND PETER OBI OF NIGERIA

I appreciate your support for Peter Obi, but with Atiku, Wike, and Tambuwal also in the race for PDP ticket, what chance does Peter Obi stand?

07kjb:
PETER OBI IS PDPs best bet no matter who APC PRODUCED...NORTH WEST IS GONE TO KWANKWASO WE KNOW HOW THEY OPERATE IN THE NORTH AUTOMATICALLY NNPP HAS BECOME A MAJOR PARTY THERE,SO THE VOTES ARE GONNA BE SHARED IN THE NORTH EAST,OBI WILL HAVE ADVANTAGE IN THE NORTH CENTRAL AND MIDDLE BELT,OBI WILL SWEEP EAST AND SOUTH THAT'S A WIN FOR PDP,APC CAN HAVE WEST

I will die one day, but not yet, no, not yet.

I am older than you by how many years?Shikena!

Znation:
Make una help me abeg.. I don even browse am for google, but i no see better answer..

if i no anwser this question, im finished.

I only see hypocrisy and eye service here. Has the governor visited the injured and the families of the more than 50 that died in Kagoro community attack last two weeks. Was a Press statement even release?

People died and yet no response from government. We just moved on as if those butchered and maimed in cold blood are not humans. Life has no value in this country. We looked on and moved on. Who is next? Where is next? This is not terrorism or banditry. This is a well coordinated and sponsored massacre by hired assassins. Make no mistake about this. Government both at the federal and state know the sponsors behind this heinous massacre.

One herdsman or two is killed in the east and ESN is held responsible and a battalion of soldier is sent. Scores are killed in northern communities like Kagoro and no eyebrow is raised.
