ChrisP92:
Yeah. But how many governors are with Atiku and how many are with Wike? I think there's more to it from this angle sir

My brother, this is likely to snowball into a North vs South scenario. When the chips are down, the entire north would vote as a bloc, just mark it down. The moment it's evident Wike is playing tribal card, the Tambuwal game would come into play and Wike will still be the looser. With Okowa's factor, Southern govs would team up with Atiku and Wike may become the proverbial orphan.

Righthussle:
Thunder fire Atiku and him emissaries.

Buhari is from the North and you want to still be president after Buhari abi.

Out of the PDP's 16-year reign, the north only ruled for 2 years with Ya'adua. If you add Buhari's tenure the north would have only been in power for 10 years. It's still a far cry from the South's share. Let's be sincere and jettison parochialism.

JBriel:
You are naive and don't understand issues. Refrain from prying into matters bigger than you

Bunkum. Absolute bunkum. Can you tell me what the issues are?

richiemcgold:
Wike, fayose and makinde are probably planning something we might not know now. But whatever it is, I believe its for a southern president.

I am a Yoruba man but I can tell you that any such attempt by the trio will burn their fingers very badly. No Southern candidate from PDP can win the 2023 elections and if they choose to team up with the opposition the three of them would end up been disgraced.

You know nothing of election winning small boy. Ọya take this ball and go play in the rain, your food will be ready before dawn so you can eat and sleep off.

I have been following Nigerian politics before you were conceived. Try to learn and eschew naivety.

Parachoko:
Make Atiku forget Rivers

Nah The Jargaban Borgu get am abeg.

Atiku will never score up to 400k this time around in Rivers.

He had more than 70% of the vote in Rivers State.

With Wike in 2019, PDP/ATIKU only scored roughly above 473000 votes. Wike is overrated and he knows it. While I want him to be in Atiku's camp, he should do his worst if he refuses to be pacified.

LeoDeKing:
The only little threat to Tinubu is athifku.

Once Athifku's train derail, Tinubu should prepare his speech for taking over the mantle of leadership on 29 May 2023.

Obi can never be the president of the zoo.

Quote me. Atiku's train can never be derailed. Wike is only flexing mussle but he would be tamed in the long run, the same way his bobble was busted and outsmarted in the convention. He either keys into Atiku's project or becomes an orphan in Nigerian politics. Those backing him would pull him down eventually. Atiku WILL win next year election.

JBriel:
What does Atiku expect. He has bashed his ego. Today all stakeholders are leaving PDP or avoiding meetings altogether. They should go and be counting Okowa's disjointed dention Nonsense

Stop this nonsense. In as much as PDP needs to approach the next elections as a unified entity, whoever wants to leave after all entreaties should do their worst. Atiku has all it takes to win next election with or without WiKe. Nobody is bigger than PDP. Wike is not God.

Surely, this country can"t afford to have APC rule us for another 8 years.

Obviously, a school for thought.

Hfhd

I beg your pardon!

It's on record that Nigerians had to wait for a period of six (6) months after the inauguration of APC government in 2015 before the President could unveil his Cabinet of Ministers, a misdemeanor that slowed down pace of governance. Fast toward to 2022 with the same government winning down on its stewardship, it took the intervention of the electoral umpire, INEC to safe the governing party from the blush of failing to meet the deadline for the conduct of its primary by infamously shifting the deadline from the initial date.

Characteristically, less that 24 hours to another deadline for the submission of political parties' Vice Presidential Candidates, APC is yet to comply with same.

Curiously, the ruling party waited endlessly for the main opposition party, the PDP, to unveil its Presidential candidate before summoning courage to hold its own convention.

In other democracies of the world, it's the ruling party that sets the pace while the opposition follows suit. Ironically, a partly that clinched power on the mantra of change is now the one chasing clouts.

It might be safe to conclude that another 8 years of APC in the saddle of power will arguably be characterised by these syndromes of indecisiveness and foot dragging. This will definitely not augur well for a nation that's already on the edge of political and economic doldrums.

Obviously, you are damned. If you are still daft and dumb after 7 years,, your case is beyond redemption.

Correct. Well said.

The greatest disaster to Nigeria politics ..PDP , NEVER EVER AGAIN

If PDP is the °greatest disaster° what then do you call APC? You are nothing but a f00l.

Stop typing nonsense. Instead of you to support the governor in his crusade against exploitation in Buhari's govt, you're here fooling yourself. How many indigenes of Kogi have died from Covid-19 since 2020 when Bello refused to allow his state to be designated Covid-19 State? Don't worry, Buhari would soon lockdown your entire household, by then you'll know the scores. No doubt, Covid-19 is real but grossly ineffective in sub Saharan Africa. PTF and Buhari's govt are fully aware of this incontrovertible fact but the zeal to milk Nigerians and enrich their personal pockets has overridden their sense of judgement. Heaven will judge all those impoverishing Nigerians in the name of Covid-19.

Racoon:
Trump has made a mess of himself with all his unguarded utterances as regards the ongoing US election

Stop that nonsense. You think this is Nigeria where people make unfounded allegations?

AdaugoChisom:
Middle East countries would like Trump to win cos of the peace deal

Certainly but what I cherish most about his personality is his gut. He believes in himself despite all odds. He says and does what he likes no matter whose ox is gored.

Jeromejnr:
Your analysis is very correct.

All he needs to do is win the 4 big electoral states.

Yes, Trump would win Georgia(16), North Carolina (15), Pennsylvania(20) and Michigan(16)

Koulture:

Carry your motor park analysis comot for road make I see front.
Biden all the way.

Pls remember this 'motor park analysis' when the final result comes out.

wolesmile:
Well done, Mr Political Analyst

Thank you if that's all you have to say.

With results of barely six states yet to be officially declared in the 2020 US general elections, every indicator points to President Trump's eventual victory. Fact Check 1: Trump currently has 213 electoral college votes while his opponent Joe Biden has 238. Only 83 college votes are up for grabs for the two candidates in the remainning states of Nevada, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin with each state having 6, 16, 15, 20, 16&10 votes respectively. Fact check 2: Trump would garner 61 votes while Biden would pick up 16 votes bringing their total tallies to 280 and 254 electoral votes respectively. Trump emerges winners with 280 E.C votes.

God bless the United States of America despite their shortcomings. There is no greater service than service to humanity. A nation is not adjudged to be godly by number of churches or mosques but by the premium it places on its own people and humanity in general. Oh! How would it have been if man has a choice over where he wishes to be born!

Judeerons32:
Very nice of you. What if the number of voided votes in this case 350K is more than the margin of win 140K should a winner be declared?
Also if for any reason the court upholds other per election matters against pdp will this same principle of void votes hold? It then means about 2K people will elect a governor.
Let's be careful. We should strive for justice.

In law, substance takes precedence over form.

WiLdFLame:
Shut up jor

APC is better under Oshiomole!!!!

Bros, there's no need for tantrum. The results out there show whether APC is better under Oshiomole or otherwise. Take a look at the number of states won by APC in 2015 and compare with the party's outing in 2019, you don't need any political scientist to prove how APC has degenerated under Oshiomole. The party's present ignominy and chaos would be a child's play if he retains the Chairman's seat before the 2023 elections.

alezzy13:
I thought you were going to address the issue raised by oshiomole. Did PDP meet the contstitional requirement of geographic spread??

If you have read my post carefully, you would have answered the question by yourself. In the context of the Supreme Court judgement the PDP candidate clearly met the basic requirements of highest number of votes scored and geographical spread. Ask me how. Having been disqualified as ineligible to stand as candidate's in the election, all the votes scored by the APC candidates are deemed null and void. So, if you're considering candidate with the highest votes and geographical spread, only the votes scored by PDP and other parties (excluding those of APC) would be reckoned with. That clearly established, the PDP candidate from the figures released by INEC (minus APC votes as pronounced by Supreme Court) unambiguously surpassed all constitutional requirements to be declared winner and sworn in as governor.

WiLdFLame:
This is not about Oshiomole atall...this is case of northern APC shit against Southern APC

This topic is about Oshiomole's uncanny penchant for misjudging national issues.

donbachi:
All powers belongs to GOD...even political power.

Indeed, all power belongs to the Almighty. All the show of might exhibited by APC in that election became absolute nought. Though both APC and PDP rigged in the polls, the results announced in favour of the former in some areas call for questioning. In fairness however, PDP would have towed the same line if they were in power at the centre. The race is not for the swift.

In the aftermath of Supreme Court judgement which nullified the election of APC candidates in the last gubernatorial polls in Bayelsa State, Comrade Adams Oshiomole, in his usual superimposing mannerism hit the headline by positing that the Candidate of PDP did not meet constitutional requirements in terms of geagraohical spread to be sworn in as the duly elected governor of the Oil producing State. The APC Chair either mischievously or in an attempt to turn the judgement on its head chose to ingnore part of the judgement which unambiguously nuliified the election of the APC candidates owing to acts of certificate infractions. Oshiomole failed to come to term with the incontrovertible fact that in the eyes of the law both the APC governorship candidate and his deputy as a result of their disqualification did not exist before the polls. Since we cannot build something on nothing, all the votes attributed to APC as announced by INEC after the elections automatically become null and void. In this regard, only the votes scored by the PDP candidate and other contestants would be considered in determining who emerges as the winner by number of votes and geographical spread as pronounced by the Apex Court.

Florblu:
No one is endorsing Tinubu's territorial acquisitions, but I think answering questions asked with no reference to anybody will help
him

To be frank with you, I think the debate should centre around Tinubu's superimposing grip on Lagos. No meaningful and speedy development can take place in that state without first of all demistifying Tinubu's oligarchic influence. That's the basic truth.
