As it stands only Jonathan can defeat Atiku, not because Jonathan has any political will or structure but because Jonathan is a northern agenda to balance power between North and South, but only for 4 years, which h's constitutionally limited to. Jonathan is considered their "puppet president", who will do the interest of the North, while serving as a Southern representative.

Tinubu can't, and won't defeat Atiku.

The way you guys make Tinubu look popular is so funny. I think most people who have this mentality are Lagosians only. Please how can Tinubu win Atiku when he can barely secure Southern vote.

SE will likely vote for Labour, PDP (Likely PDP go with VP from SS or SE)

SS will be divided between Labour and PDP (PDP go with VP from SS or SE)

SW will likely Vote for Tinubu.

NC will be divided between the three parties

NE will go with PDP Majorly

NW will go with PDP, APC and NNPP


How does Tinubu win

First all,am not a lagosian.

Secondly you have a valid point.

Let's see how it plays out.
I don't see SE giving PDP any vote even if they field a South eastern vp.

Is going to be very tough

Nigerians are suffering today because of the myopic nature of your kind. So in your mind without Tinubu Nigeria have no other person that can challenge Atiku.
Of course you maybe right somehow, because that is what you believe.

SledgeHammerer:
This is the absolute truth. Only Tinubu can defeat Atiku.

What is wrong with you? Can't you see that the northerners have played you guys by having Atiku & Kwankwaso on the ballot? How is tinubu going to win in the North, SE & SS? Even in the SW don't forget that a huge amount of igbos and hausa are resident there, the will give the northerners the needed votes in that region. Tinubu is done for, sad that you can't see it. Something that they would have gingered for restructuring so that elections will be based on that but no, they want to also steal their oil wealth

If Tinubu picks a Muslim VP he should forget.. South east and South South..

He should also forget half of Lagos cox CAN will never endorse him.

The question is, if tinubu is even a contender to atiku . Apc would have to bring out a northerner as their candidate, if not Apc would die, after buhari leaves office

Terrorists are not just hood-wearing, AK-47 totting,sabre-wielding religious exremists cum sadists.... but also those who TERRORIZE through unleashing ECONOMIC, POLITICAL , CULTURAL,etc etc BRUTALITY ON THE POPULACE
Talk of choosing between
1. The Devil (Tinubu) and
2. Deep Quagmire (Atiku)

PDP will not like to risk it. They will probably look for SS for their VIP. My guess is Okowa or Donald Duke. Okowa because hes from Delta and considered an Igbo man too. Donald Duke, well I think he can match Peter Obi presentation skill and he appeal to the Youth bracket. Emmanuel Udom might be a choice too. PDP will likely go for someone who has a carriage like Peter Obi in order to sway SS/SE votes

Atiku stands no chance with Tinubu. He knows this. He is working behind the scene to ensure Tinubu does not win primary.

How does Tinubu win

Your analysis about the south is correct but not the north.apc will narrowly. Win the nc,ne and nw.in north east,pdp can't win borno,bauchi,yobe which gives chunk votes.in nw,kano,katsina,kebbi,zamfara can't vote pdp.

Reality3080:
u are d political novice here

Let me break down d article for u in clear terms

Atiku is now pdp presidential candidate,who among apc aspirants can defeat atiku?


Lets weigh them

Religion - Everyone knows d north is where d major chunk of d electorates are n they are majorly Muslims,I tell u for sure that majority of northerners will think twice before voting a pastor.
That already reduces Christian aspirants votes in apc n it give tinubu an edge cos he’s also a muslim


Influence - we started hearing d name osinbajo when buhari picked him as running mate,which means he’s new in d game of mainstream politics unlike atiku that have been around since d early 90’s
I believe u won’t want to compare atiku n osinbajo.
Don’t forget tinubu have also been around since d days of abacha n nadeco

Wealth - do I need to remind u that atiku just relegated oil money (rivers bullion van) so comparing osinbajo to atiku in terms of wealth is like comparing ladies bike to dangote trailer,only tinubu can do that

Servitude,loyalty,respect- people like saraki can open their mouth n call osinbajo a mere commissioner but can’t say half to tinubu n I believe u know,ganduje,el rufai n co will find it easy to roll with tinubu n refer his as their leader than a pastor who many of them low key see as an infidel

Atiku vs any other aspirants is an easy win for atiku
Atiku vs tinubu can b regarded as clash of d lords cos they are bosses in their different lanes

Adding some finishing to your piece.
The argument here is not particularly who's going to win or lose, the point is, which aspirant will give the APC the best shot against Atiku and PDP? Even if they lose eventually. No brainer it's Tinubu, else it's a walk over for PDP

MetaPhysical:
Atiku stands no chance with Tinubu. He knows this. He is working behind the scene to ensure Tinubu does not win primary.

Why do you say so? I know tinubu has more loyalists up north than atiku

Kwankwaso and atiku will reduce or share northern votes

It's not by who can win in the north ,south or nonsense. It's just a matter of who plays game better in rigging or against rigging. Election died in 2015. RIP innocent election. You'd forever be remembered.

Bro if Anambra was given the opportunity Lagos was given, Lagos as it is right now will not see their back...
The Lagos that you are shouting about, which people dey power am? The Igbos. So bro calm down...
Peter Obi is a man with Vision and plan to fix this country.
The other two wants to add presidency to their C.V, they don’t have anything to offer. Thank you

If any of the two becomes president of Nigeria in 2023, Nigeria shall not come out of the ditch it was thrown into by the two men who put Buhari on top in 2015.

Wawelexy:
If Tinubu can single handedly bring down PDP by chasing Jonathan out of Aso rock, then there's 75% chances of him winning Atiku at the poll...

but i pray none of them win sha..........

As it is now,
IF I'M TO VOTE FOR A BETTER NIGERIA, i will not be voting cos none of the present contestant can give us that.(please don't tell me Peter Obi, cos we ve seen him govern one of the eastern state and yet that state can't even match Lagos state when we talk of standard. so?)

IF I'M TO VOTE FOR THE SAKE OF POWER, Atiku is my best bet cos no one uses power more than the northerners.

IF I'M TO VOTE FOR THE SAKE OF POLITICAL EXPERIENCES AND GAME PLAN, then leave that to Tinubu cos no one does it better than him.

IF I'M TO VOTE BASED ON EQUAL RIGHT, i think its high time we allow the Igbos to rule cos they re also Nigerians, Peter Obi for sure....

Kingpele:
Osibanjo with federal power can defeat atiku ..not tinubu..when the former vice president started stealing public funds in the early 90s tinubu is still serving unilever companies in USA ,so tinubu in all his years till now have not see the kind of money pdp flag bearer have. Wike tried it with rivers Money today he is still in shock of what happened at eagles Square ABJ ..but osibanjo with federal power as current vice president will defeat atiku ,money bows to power ..but APC will be blind to this truth until is too late

I dont think so...Av u forgotten that Osinbajo is Pastor in RCCG which is the major devalue point in the north..

AntonVince:
Whoever wrote this is a complete neophyte.
He should do well to list the states he feels Tinubu can win outside the South West.
How can you be dreaming of defeating Atiku in the north when you don't even have the mass appeal to win the South?

...and he even put the word "credible" and Tinubu in the same sentence.
Clowns everywhere.

And Tinubu cannot win in the North, because he is from South, why did Obasanjo won twice in the North, MKO had earlier won in the North and Goodluck Jonathan as a Christian from the South also won in the North in 2011?

Tinubu popularity is only in west

APC should know that SW let alone Tinubu has been buried, since Kwankaso and Atiku is in the race.

They go chop him money(sorry Lagos money). Hopefully he will survive from the shock.

I really like Obi but naija election system wont favour him because of many factors like money, poor political structure, ipod/biafra agitation, lack of support from kalu, uzodinma and other big politician from his region.

You are talking as if PDP will get a block votes from SS and SE in 2023…You need to check 2019 results and see their winning percentage not even now that they av Umahi and Ayade in their pocket.

He is not a neophyte. He knows what he is talking. You just hate Tinubu, that’s your problem. Other than that he is very logical and factual in his statements.

...You managed to write so many nonsense.... Plenty grammar without making sense.

To begin with,Atiku is a spent cell... Anybody presented by APC will defeat him..Anyone of Tinubu, Osinbanjo and Amaechi will beat Atiku blue black.

You guys just keep shouting "North holding the ace"....if so,how come Buhari couldn't win election until he partnered with SW

Who cares if you refer to Osinbanjo as leader or not...It may interest you to know that he preside over a monthly meetings with these guys ,mad they give him maximum respect..Have you seen the dignitaries that always welcome Osinbanjo on his recently concluded tours for delegates Even Tinubu didn't command half of that.

No be only antidote, na remedy. We aren't even talking about the antidote to the current situation of the country, but talking about the antidote of thieves.

Some persons wold rather have anybody in power just for bragging sake.

It's a shame.
