PDP gave ticket to SW that hates PDP and a founding member of PDP from SE dropped his ambition in 1999, you can't be trying to benefit from zoning to the South and stop SE from benefitting from geopolitical zonning. Else the north retains power

NaijirianKing:
Power will either go to the NC or most likely the NE. The North will support a Northerner, and the "south" is too politically fragmented.

Since PDP is choosing a Northerner and a SS/SE VP candidate, it would be better for APC to likewise field a Northerner in order to stand a chance of winning.

The reality is that a SW Muslim, with a Christian Northerner is not an ideal combination going by political realities presently on ground. It's a very tall order to expect Northerners to leave a Northerner to vote a southerner, especially one who will have a Northern christian, Northern christians have very little elective value when it comes to the core North.

Supporting a Northern presidential campaign would be a better bet, maybe pair him with a southern christian, and then that combination would have political leverage to defeat the PDP.

If APC fields someone from the SW, that would implicitly mean that the SS and SE would essentially be in PDP's ambit as they have more to gain under a Northern President, than a southern president. The VP position comes to mind.

The SW should really look to throw their weight behind the North in order to be a part of the center.

On the contrary, the north will never usurp an opportunity that is not theirs even if the opportunity present itself. As it stands now they have the opportunity to field their candidate but they won't because they have had their turn. Even if pdp present a northern candidate,the north knowing fully well that it is not their turn won't vote such candidate. The north are not known as usurpers

Tinubu will never step down for any ibo man in APC

If Ibos want to vote Turji bello, you're free to do so

The APC will never microzone to the South East.
