Ylink4sure:
Your "We started politics before the SW" got me laughing out loud because we have never seen or experienced the results of that your long years of politicking! I mean, what has been the results? In the last 22 years of return to democracy,a Yoruba man was president for 8 years and another is about to spend 8 years as VP! So,maybe it's not about how long but how well!

The problem with Yorubas is that they thought Nigeria started in this fourth republic.

Colonial era, first republic, second republic and third republic, why not start from there.

Igbos play more sophisticated politics than Yorubas. Buhari won SW with 260k votes while Atiku won only Anambra with 490k votes.

Betraying your neighbor for a pot of ewedu is not sophistication. It is treachery.

When nPDP decamped to APC, we knew it is over for Jonathan. But we rather sink with him than stab him at the back.

We are not traitors.

Foreigna2:


We all know the inconsequential people Buhari called 5%.

With ipob sit at home, 5% don become 1%.

Remove all the votes SW gave to Buhari and he will still win.

Yoruba votes are useless.

Peter Obi or Osinbanjo is our choice for 2023. Tinubu can go and rest.

I am ok with any of the two star boys.

Only Yoruba moslems support Tinubu

Foreigna2:
If not for Tinubu, Atiku would have also beaten Buhari in 2015.

If you remove all the votes Yorubas gave to Buhari, he will still win.

Yoruba votes are useless

You are going too far Op

Remove all the votes SW gave to Buhari in 2019 and Buhari will still win with about 2 million votes.

Do you know Buhari won SW with just a mere 260k votes while Atiku won Anambra with 490k votes.

SW votes are politically irrelevant.

excanny:


Yeah. Either SW or SS if he’s really serious to win the presidency.

He should stay away from the SE. Nothing there of benefits to a potential winner.

Buhari won SW with 260k votes while Atiku won ONLY Anambra with 490k votes.

Osinbanjo lost his PU, OBJ lost his state.

Only fools will pick SW for VP.

Obi/Jega

Jega is already in alliance with Labour Party

excanny:
Makes no sense for Atiku to choose a SE VP.

The SE is very weak politically.

If I were Atiku, I”ll choose a SS Igbo/Igboid to get all SS/SE votes. Even a VP from an Igbo-denying group like Ikwerres and Ikas will be seen by the Igbo voters as an Igbo vice presidency.

Buhari won SW with 260k votes.

Atiku won Anambra with 490k votes.

SW is always the second option for VP behind SE.

Kyase:
nope
Atiku has never won His region...
Those guys don't even like him

Because Yaradua and Buhari were on the ballot. In 2023, he will be running against a SW Tijaniyya Moslem if Tinubu picks the ticket.

APC, NNPP and PDP will water down Northern votes.

Forgotten Northern votes.

APC, NNPP and PDP will water down the votes. Go for a strong NC candidate.

Support Lawan to emerge as APC candidate to part of SW votes.

Activate NLC and TUC structures across the nation and campaign for Labour Party as the workers party.

If you can get the workers, you'll get the votes.

Philipponzaghi:


Go and check the SW votes anytime a Yoruba man is on the ballot.

Check 1979 & 1983 —Awo got bloc vote

Check 1993 — Abiola got bloc vote

Check 1999 — Falae got bloc vote

Check 2003 — Obasanjo got bloc vote

SW will only give 55/45 when none of the top 2 candidates are Yorubas. Why are Nairaland parading political neophytes like this?

Which Kwakwanso in the North? Kwakwanso can only get Atiku voters votes and not the APC themselves.

Peter Obi winning SE massively for Labor party is a win for the APC. I hope you know your point only supported my arguments? The main goal is to water down the SE votes for PDP which is like now 90% reality.

As regards to IPOB boycott, check Anambra election turnout. Are you proud of that turnout? That was due to IPOb effect. If they churn out that turnout in presidential election then the SE votes will now be 3% instead of the earlier 5% Buhari claimed.

SW votes is not a threat to us.

We have the numbers to split SW votes. My polling unit is in Lagos and I'll vote for Peter Obi.

In my part of Lagos, we just elected an Eye Ndi Igbo to help us coordinate Igbos in the area.

The reason we are supporting Atiku and Kwankwanso is because they will piece Northern votes.

If Tinubu chooses a Christian VP, North East and North West will be shared by PDP and NNPP.

Tinubu can't get much votes in SS and SE.

If APC picks Northern candidate which SE APC is pushing for, South and NC will be open for Labour to take.

We calculated our moves before going to Labour party. We started playing politics before SW.

We are not inexperienced like our neighbors that think betraying their neighbor is political sophistication.

Philipponzaghi:
Peter Obi LP is a huge problem for Atiku and a very big plus for APC.

The SE votes will be very very low and a lot of factor will affect it.

—Some people will vote Peter Obi Labor party

—Some people will abscond from voting because there will be apathy

—Some people will vote for PDP because of the governors

—IPOB will declare sit at home and some won’t come out to vote. Only those that can be guaranteed security by the politicians.

In all, no matter how you read it, Atiku vote in the SE will be so so diluted to make any sensible difference.

Atiku will be a compound fool to select a SE VP. I will tip him to select a SS VP if he get political brain this time around.

Who told you SE votes will be very low? Peter Obi is on the ballot and we are mobilizing massively for him.

IPOB didn't boycott Anambra election, so it's when PO is on the ballot they will boycott.

If Labour is a disadvantage to PDP, Kwankwanso is also disadvantage to APC.

He will take NW votes that naturally goes to APC while Atiku will clear NE.

SW don't give bloc votes, another disadvantage to APC.

Yankiss:
Read me properly. APGA in alliance with any party at the centre. Labour is good on paper, only.

Good.

Leave it for us like that.

If Peter Obi runs on APGA ticket, people like you will still say he is running on a tribal party regardless of the alliance he entered into.

We love Labour Party.

Yankiss:
This Party seems abandoned to the South or Presidency was zoned there? With due respect, this one seems like desperation on the part of Obi. He should have known from day one that PDP was cash and carry. A leopard never changes its spots. APGA would have been a very good alternative with alliance with any party at the centre.

So that people like you will say he is riding on a regional party?

Labour Party is bae

Dialpad:
Even if Peter Obi wins, how will they promote this party on a national level

NLC President and TUC President already joined the party.

Labour Party structure is NLC and TUC structures. With Peter Obi on the ballot, Labour Party is sure of going far than they ever imagined.

Stella Odua is married to an Edo man and she is currently a Senator representing Anambra.

Iyom Josephine Annieh is married to a Bini man and she was a Minister with Anambra slot.

Betty Akeredolu is a current First Lady and also wants to be Senator.

We don't allow that nonsense in Igbo land. When she finish her tenure as First Lady, she can then try again.

helinues:


Take GEJ out of the picture cos he is not contesting the Apc presidential primary. Where would he start from? And please don't tell me consensus cos what did he do to deserve being chosen.

Atiku would likely pick his Vp from South South cos of Obi's factor. Moreover, there could be vote apathy in SE. So many INeC office have been burnt with PVCS.

Okowa is the VP.

With Atiku as PDP candidate, APC will pick GEJ to clear road for Kwankwanso and Atiku.

Arewa is not loyal to any party. They are only loyal to their agenda.

APC ticket will go South and they will give it to someone who is not strong enough to battle Atiku.

True.

PDP will try to regain ground by offering an Igbo blood their VP ticket.

Kwankwanso and Atiku will share APC Northerner votes.

To regain the South, APC will offer their ticket to GEJ.

NLC President and TUC President just register with Labour Party and have directed their members to join LP at their wards.

North will retain the presidency but LP will give a good account of themselves.

This adoption of the Labour Party was made possible by the new rapprochement between the leadership of the Labour Movement and the hierarchy of the Labour Party- an emergent solidarity jointly spearheaded by President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Ayuba Wabba; and the Trade Union Congress, TUC President, Quadri Olaleye, who have revalidated their membership of the Labour Party by formally registering with the party, last week.

Dsalvo:


Don't fool yourself. Did Atiku's win, essentially all about loyalists backing who has always been their benefactors, not taught you anything?

What loyalists does Osinbajo have in comparison to Atiku or Tinubu? Is Osinbajo even a proper politician, to have amassed 'proper proper' loyalists, or is he just a naive and gullible lightweight made to believe affiliation to the Presidency can take him all the way?

Who will mobilize passionately and willingly on the ground for Osinbajo because they genuinely feel they owe him support rather than be forced by APC to work for him should he be given the ticket unfairly and at the expense of genuinely popular and loved Tinubu?

An Osinbajo that Tinubu has abandoned is electorally worthless to APC as P is to Psychology. Atiku with no political office just took out Wike etal to prove what a proper politician is about. Only Tinubu is same across the pond.

Forget clowns like Lawan and Amaechi. Atiku has shown APC something that will make many see they have been fcking around indulging Buhari and his cabal for so long.

There will be panic in the PDP over Atiku's win and the manner in which it has come. A totally cool, calculated and strategic show of togetherness the APC currently lack because of the divisive PMB crew. Check my posts to see I predicted all along that Atiku will win and never wavered over that view.

It will now be crystal clear to APC stalwarts that the Buhari cabal must be put in their place so APC field the only hand that can defeat Atiku and PDP, i.e Tinubu, or go into oblivion indulging one man, i.e Buhari, and his small band of usurpers.

Childish and immature trolls, like Truthisunique and PrinceOfOkrika, have had their say. This is the time for some to now learn lessons about Nigerian politics.

PDP has just shown that politics and emotions are parallel lines that never meet. I now challenge APC to do otherwise i.e indulge those egging on Buhari to disenfranchise Tinubu.

Let us see if APC, assuming Tinubu is unfairly schemed out, will not lose the general election with Amaechi or Osinbajo as woefully as many fell to Atiku today.

In the meantime, you lot should enjoy the talk of Senator Ogunlewe which is a personal favorite of mine currently because he say exactly what I have argued consistently and what predictably played out today to favour Atiku.

Over to you APC. Field Tinubu or die. Simple.

Peter Obi will be on the ballot and Wike won't. Wike lost dollars but Peter Obi didn't.

Yorubas are already crying.

Atiku/Okowa

yinkus6750:
Peter Obi messed up.
Should have stepped down for Atiku and fo for VP.
Chances of winning the main election would have been greater.
And opportunity if continuity through him could have given the SE the much elusive positiion

No, we want Obi in Labour.

Okowa will pick the VP

Okowa is Atiku running mate.

Please what is the name of the Islamic God?
