Who is the official winner?

garfield1:
True.the APC candidate was imposed by the Governor

fergie001:

Not a good outing for PDP nonetheless.

The Plateau bye-election was a protest by APC....On another day, the PDP won't win. Losing Akure & CRS shows ​they can't win the 2023 election, let's be honest here.

fergie001:

PRP guys are seriously protesting the results. Tudun wada-kabong magic happened with a few PUs left.

APC stayed out since they knew their members betrayed them. They told PRP to carry their cross.

Lol... 2023 is far to conclude. A lot can still happen before then. It's too early to talk about 2023. The only person I fear is tinubu, if it gets the ticket, then APC would stand a good chance, otherwise, Atiku will still get PDP ticket, not minding wike and his ramble. Atiku will easily defeat any APC candidate except tinubu.

Most southern analysts oversimplify 2023. The dynamics are taking shape gradually

Not true

You know Wike over-estimates himself too much. He didn't deliver Ogoja so he should rest IJN. I even heard he wants to run as VP, let him come so that PDP will be buried in Nigeria patapata.

Atiku is the biggest candidate for the PDP but majority of the PDP Govs don't want him. How he navigates that, time will tell.

For the APC, it strictly depends on only one person - Buhari. His direction is where everyone else will go. You can campaign but everybody will follow his direction.

Let's see how 2023 goes....I don't think the APC can be lodged though.

vicdom:
Lol... Wike na idiot nah.. If not because Jonathan helped him in 2015 tsunami, ge would have been in exile now. Jonathan rigged that election for him and in 2019, Abe and Amaech fight also helped him. Lol... He actually thinks he's relevant

Well, I Atiku getting the ticket once again. Forget buhari, he might not be interested that much. Remember Atiku gave him a strong fight in 2019 with his strong federal mights. I can tell you with this new law, And buhari not on ballot, Atiku is man ti beat. Unless Tinubu, I fear that guy.

Don't mind him


Buhari will be a major determinant who gets his Party's ticket.

vicdom:

Lol..... What's your take with regards to 2023?

vicdom:

Yeah, Buhari will anoint someone, and once he does that, all the APC northern governors will queue behind. But I don't know how buhari will want disappoint tinubu. I'm sure they reached agreements in 2014 during the primary, otherwise Atiku would have beaten buhari in that primary blue black. Tinubu even went ahead to support him in the main election. So I don't think Buhari will betray him this time and I don't see that happening. Even if buhari has a candidate beside tinubu, he might just want to throw it open in order not hurt both parties. If that happens, tinubu will win the primary landslide.

PRP came second to PDP.

APC was distant third....it was a protest vote.

It must be connected to issues of internal democracy. Maybe the person majority wanted was circumvented by powers that be. I love what happened in that regard. The political class must realize that the ultimate power in democracy belongs to the people.

Congrats to all of them.

Agah was also imposed but the electorates looked beyond that &still voted for PDP. The Hausa Fulani community wanted the APC ticket when they failed they choose PRP. Aparty & disenfranchisement affected both APC & PDP. Bassa their home front has lots of displaced people & abandoned community thus denying many the opportunity to vote. Everything been equal the APC candidate could have score more votes though he won't win

vicdom:

Because they managed to upturn earlier deficits with just about 4 wards left, in addition to the cancelled unit votes there in. I was marvelled on how they did it.
