Amy coalition that doesn't involve governors cannot win a presidential election. Nigerian institutions are so weak that anyone can rig the election and get away with it. As regards who will lead the coalition, I personally think Peter Obi should, but Atiku wants to be president by all means.

Atilu is already in the forefront of it, driving it. Obi hasn't joined the fray yet.

With the line of opposition blurring following the defection of some Delta Governor and Former Governor and others, with other expected defections, it’s now obvious that those who would be remaining in whatever would remain of opposition parties after defections, would have to work together to stand a chance against Tinubu in 2027.

But the question is, who would be the coalition’s best bet against Tinubu: Atiku or Obi?

Like someone said, with 13 governors and 38 senators, Atiku could only stay ahead of Obi with about 800k votes while Obi garnered over 6million votes without a single governor nor senator nor House of Rep or Assembly Member.

With the data above, isn’t it obvious who commands higher following even without stakeholders support?

Again, the zoning sentiments says it’s still the turn of the South in 2027 which gives Obi an edge.

Should the coalition make the mistake of adopting a northerner (Atiku or anyone else), then they may have played into the hands of Tinubu as the election will truly become a north vs south battle and I doubt the north will win that battle.

But with Obi, the coalition will be certain that Southeast and Southsouth is locked down for Obi. Add the votes of northern christians and then the north only has to convince the core north to vote Obi as well, and the numbers will be too much to rig.

But these are just my views. What do you think? Who is best fit to lead the coalition?

Trust me, so many deals must have been sealed with that France Trip. His Excellency met with different people for business and personal while away

stanluiz:
The SS are already falling. Rivers, Delta and Akwa ibom.

What you should worried about is the governors rigging votes massively for tinubu in 2027 just like wike did in rivers in 2023.

If the governors act like gentlemen and allow the votes of the people, them, opposition will sweep the states in 2027.

But the governors may try as much as possible to give Tinubu 25% or more than.

Am talking of the SS governors not SE especially Rivers and Akwa ibom.

Obi win Edo and Delta landslide. Even though, no SS states voted was more than 400k votes. Highest is 350k votes.

..abi.. Nigerians should not follow all this governors and politicians supporting Tinubu re election.they are doing it for their selfish interest..it's Nigerians that are complaining of hunger, hardship, inflation,high costs of living, high rate of unemployment ..the governor and politicians the hunger, inflation, high costs of living and hardship is not affecting them they are very rich and living comfortably..so Nigerians you are the ones complaining of the hunger and hardship so do not follow all this governors and politicians supporting Tinubu re election...if you do not want to keep on suffering and lavishing in hunger, poverty hardship, inflation, high costs of living in 2027 upwards

Okowa is likely joining him, though they are fine-tuning the deal because of Omo-Agege and others.

It's a South v North thing now... The North won't give Asiwaju what he got in 2023.

JuanDeDios:
This is NOT correct.

Wazari Ibrahim and Aminu Kanu were easily among the most popular politicians around, so the Northern vote was split between NPN, GNPP and PRP. Shagari relied on votes from the south to clinch it, especially what we now call the South South. In fact, it was because of his complete route of places like Cross River that Joseph Wayas was made the Senate President.

JuanDeDios:
Only the NPN had the kind of national spread to win. Even if they had fielded a southerner, he'd have won.

Please forgive him, we are begging

I thought you said you have forgiven this Valentine?

fergie001:
The fact he is going to Court means they have ghosted him. They tricked him perhaps, otherwise, they wouldn't let him go to Court.

fergie001:
I am pitying Ozigbo, the fact he is even heading to Court is laughable.

It's not professional practice especially for the reason that you just passed Law School Exams with a first class

1. Following the interlocutory injunction, the 1st Defendant was not a mameber of the Party and should not even be qualified to participate.

2. The plaintiff seeks five reliefs.....(Barrister for the petitioner, Ozigbo)

Me wey I no be man u fan was even expecting a. Comeback after Man Utd scored 3. I was expecting the last 8 minutes to be very tough and I changed my seat to occupy spaces in front where Man Utd fans left when they went home. It was really an iconic comeback, like never seen before. Next is Bilbao. That will be so so tough.
