naptu2: Oh, that's not what I meant. If you simply wanted your comment to be read by everybody that reads Jarus' comment on Nairaland, then you can post it without mentioning me. You mentioned me as if I was the author of the forecast and I told you to direct your comment at the author of the forecast (I'm sure you understand this).
Yeah I understand you. I am not quoting you because you are Jarus. I'm quoting you because you created a thread on Jarus's Projection. I'm not in anyway suggesting you agree with Jarus's Projection...heck I don't read minds. But I know you are the OP of this thread hence the mention. I meant no attack, I just want to bring my opinion to you and the rest of the NLers that will read this thread.
Naptu2, this projection is false. The reason is that it is using the mentality of a two party race. But this isn't a two party race. This is a four party race. So it's a complex race.
Anyone who dismisses LP and NNPP in this race is simply not in tune with the complexity of this current race. LP has a stronghold in the SS, SE and parts of NC and NE. NNPC holds supreme in parts of NW. This unbalances lots of political equations.
Anyways, the election is weeks away. I'll bookmark this thread and comment on it later after the results are out..
Not surprised. Peter Obi is poised to win. However I disagree it will go into runoff. I used to think this election will go into runoff but with the recent rallies Peter Obi held in the North, I think he will get 25% in many States I never expected in the North. But let's see how it goes.
Partially true. The George Floyd Protest did have an influence (vis-a-vis ENDSARS) but there are other reasons for Peter Obi's popularity. His different style of politics, his age, his track record, etc.
No matter anyway we look at it. I believe it is a good thing for Peter Obi as it will give him more publicity.
Peter Obi is one of the few candidates whom I am not afraid if he goes for interviews because I know he will do well. I cannot say the same for Tinubu.
I bring you an unbiased street poll organized by BantuPage in the city and villages of Kano.
Almost all respondents spoke in Hausa but I’m sure someone who doesn’t understand Hausa would still be able to pick the key responses of respondents.
Some hints: Kwankwaso reigns supreme here.
2: Nobody mentioned Tinubu which is a stark departure from the picture some APC supporters paint of Kano.
And lastly, majority of Kano voters are undecided. These are the people who leave their choice for an Imam to make for them, I believe. So, in the end, whoever the Imams end up directing them to vote will get their votes.

This is interesting. BantuPage is affiliated with APC. So for Kwankwaso to win this poll, I think its pretty interesting.
seunmsg: There will be no public endorsement. However, agreement was reached. The G-5 governors will work for Tinubu. That’s the only realistic option in front of them as there is no alternative.
Only two candidates can realistically win the election. Since Atiku is not an option for them, Tinubu is the only person they can support. Supporting Peter Obi will not make Peter Obi win and they know it. With or without G-5, Obi should win Abia, Enugu and Rivers. He’s never going to win Benue and Oyo with or without G-5.
Again, making a public endorsement of Tinubu will not be good at this point and can even be counterproductive. Some northerners may see it as a southern gang up against Atiku while APC members in G-5 states may think their ambition is being sacrificed for the presidential candidate. The possible problem it could cause is why Atiku’s camp is insisting and shouting that Tinubu met with G-5. So you see, the denial from APC and G-5 is just to forestall all these possible problems.
More consultations and sensitization will be done on all sides while they keep working for Tinubu quietly without any official announcement. This is high wire politics.
All these are wishes you coined up in your head. The truth will be revealed this January.
The supposed deal being published on several newspapers is plain APC Propaganda. I read the content of the supposed deal, and it is all plain Propaganda. The deal makes it seem as if the G5 is begging Tinubu....that's hilarious. The truth will emerge very soon.
