I won't be involved in long tales, because I'm not Wole Soyinka or late Sage Chinua Achebe.
These are the games that will give the north the presidency in 2023.
1. APC and PDP fielding northern candidates.
2. APC fielding SW candidate and PDP fielding a northern candidate.
The two above are not impossible but number 1 seems unrealistic while number 2 is very possible.

Northern Project:
Consolidate on the gain recorded under Buhari, because no sane Southerner will condone the extreme abuse of power by Buhari and his kinsmen.
These gains are in the hands of nonpoliticians but backed by acts of politics.
The Ministry of Communication is one sector the north is making inroads. The recent bid for 5G spectrum where a little known Mafab knocked out major players to clinch one of the slot.
In oil and gas, the north is forcing is down our throats that crude oil has been found in Bauchi and Gombe. Before Buhari leaves office, he must Gazette it so two states will enjoy as Niger delta people.
There are other sectors the north is rapidly taking over from the South.

So they want to consolidate on these milestone which a southerner might not guarantee them.
The game plan.
They have selected some fringe politicians from the north to do a hatchet job on the South. All they do is to promote the candidacies of South West politicians, because they know that the greater South(SE and SS) will not buy into it.
While they are at that, another group are working against APC from within the party, so that if eventually, they give the ticket to the South, it will be seen as regional campaign, while weakening the party structures through litigation and antiparty activities. Like what they did to PDP in 2015.
This will position PDP and north as the last resort.
While PDP may present a liberal northerner to attract the greater south, the major things will be done at the background consolidating on Buhari's achievement while the new president look away.
North is going north East.
The north East development commission has to be consolidated.
Bauchi and Gombe are in the north East and the president said they have oil. This gain has to be sealed.

Electoral Act Link
One would believe that direct primaries was the reason the president withheld his assent. Not at all. Why not the law makers expunge it since it started generating contention even before it was sent to the president? Why not the president sign the bill, then sent an amendment against that contentious clause?
The problem is the introduction of technology into the election.
Technology will affect the north great deal. Bear in mind that 2023 election will not run on this electoral act. By the time the politics around it is resolved, the timetable for the election is out. This is a fact.
So the president is preparing the stage for a northerner who most likely, will come from PDP through the existing system.

What the South should do.
The South should rally around South East. This is the only antidote that render the north powerless.
Apart from this; another 4 years in the north is inevitable.
Happy Christmas

Your analogy is on point though...

Very loop sided analysis

Cold water taken. Yet to understand the Loop sided aspect. What do you mean?

The north is hugely consolidating, the northern elites,but the southerners are sleeping,all the killings in the north do not affect the elite political system and business elite,they don't care about that,the south is distractedly the northern killings not aware that the political and business elite are secretly consolidating. The SOUTH too mumu
