I call on President Buhari to pick a successor from North East and that will be the equity the South East need.

You can hate this man all you want but he said the obvious truth..

If APC gives their ticket to a southerner, APC is gone forever!

Tinubu should imbibe the spirit of sportsmanship and support whoever APC fields which is obviously not him, his personal and selfish interest is what brought this mess upon us, this time around he should put his selfish interest aside!

I'm rooting for Tinubu, he's just the only one that can match Atiku word for word..
Lawan cannot even win his state.

Alright boss. Lawan is a cool guy but I don’t see a realistic path to victory for him. They will divide north east and west while Atiku will win the entire south. Lawan will be an easy victory for Atiku.

Atiku will inevitably field a Christian southerner Vice Presidential candidate.
The Muslim/Muslim option for the APC is dead on arrival, the Muslim Southerner Presidential candidate/Christian (northerner) Vice Presidential candidate is also dead on arrival for APC
Tinubu is inevitably out of the equation and no longer an option for APC with the realities on ground based on his religion which is a very sensitive topic in Nigeria polity---Quote me anywhere.

The worst Tinubu can do next week is to defect to SDP to try and actualize his life long Presidential ambition.APC would not risk him as their Presidential candidate, cos religious sentiments will be whipped up from the South to the North, which is the unfortunate situation of Nigeria we find our selves today.
Christians cut across the entire south and North, will rather vote a Atiku that has picked Christian Vice President than Vote a Tinubu who is a Muslim and that picked a Muslim Vice President also .
Also Muslim Northerners will outrightly reject a Southern Muslim Presidential Candidate (Tinubu) if he picks a Christian Northern Vice President
APC Chieftains will have to crack their heads in the next 1 week to come up with permutations that favour them before their party primary cos Atiku emergence as PDP candidate has disrupted many permutations across the Nigeria political terrain

Remove Tinubu from there, Tinubu can only try to win southwest region in the south and can never beat atiku in the whole of North!
Should apc field Tinubu, they already lost even before the election started..

We warned them but they said they are sophisticated !!
APC is in deep shiit already, they have no candidate to match Atiku, they should have wooed Atiku back to the party immediately after the 2019 election. They were praying and wishing for Wike's victory yesterday, they never wanted Atiku on the ballot as PDP Presidential candidate.
Their best choice who has a national appeal like Atiku at the moment is is GEJ (Good luck) but I doubt Jonathan is interested in contesting.
Atiku will defeat Lawan before 1pm in the afternoon election day

He has obviously said the truth. No APC candidate right now can stand Atiku because he has covered North East which will produce most of the highest voting numbers in any election.
The major issue is that Ahmed Lawal is not strong enough for Atiku.
Tinubu/Osinbanjo/Ameachi v Atiku is a complete transfer of presidency to PDP because Atiku will get victory through Northern votes while the APC candidate will be left with divided votes from South, East and West.
PDP has played a very interesting move so now it is left for APC to deliver a strong North Easterner that can divide the Northern votes with Atiku.
