This combo is going to be a threat to APC, wike the wiked has shown to be a ruthless politician who is both loved and hated in the south. And he'd be able to easily get all SE/SS PDP states to support him with seyi Makinde's Oyo and fayose in the SW. Atiku will then finish up the job in the north.

I like wike because he isn't a pushover and is a self made politician not beholden to any godfather. Wike will make a very active VP to Atiku and I am most certain that he's getting the VP ticket. With wike as a VP, I have no issues even if Atiku wins.

My thoughts.

You're making me proud today, so you have sense like this?

This is dead on arrival for two reasons:

1. Both men have questions to answer in terms of integrity and misappropriation of public funds.

2. Wike is not as popular as you think in the east, and he's certainly not going to be popular in the mulsim dominated north who are hell-bent on seeing that a second Johnathan doesn't emerge under their watch .

All is well

Jashub:
Dead on arrival .

Wike almost defeated Atiku in the primaries even when
Nobody stepped down for him.
Many igbos still love Wike

My kind of politics is realistic and free from useless hate and antagonism. I've always respected Wike as a politician.

Wike lost because Atiku was handing out cash figures that were equivalent to phone numbers . So you can't call that an outright win

Ramsdale:
This would have been the BEST TIME to have PETER OBI as running mate to ATIKU. Wike isn't ideal.

Asides the fact the Peter Obi is from the south east, Peter Obi is simply hype that ends on social media, Wike will whip his ass and take him to the cleaners in any election.....by a VERY WIDE MARGIN. Peter Obi sounds and seems like a woman and cannot command respect that someone like Wike would command.

Wike will give APC a tough time in the south

Wike as vice to Atiku will bring no advantage aside cash. Wike does not have a base and can't even bring the whole of Rivers State talk more of SS and SE. He is only sure of Ikwerre people and they're very small. Wike can't even influence Ijaws, if anything they hate his attitude. Wike can't influence Igbos and neither can he come to our cities to campaign without being booed or even pelted with pure water satchet. You can see how Akpabio threw Amaechi under the bus despite the fact they're from same region. Ibibios don't share any affinity with Ikwerre and same is applicable to other tribes/ethnicities in SS.

If Atiku wants to use a SS Vice, then his best option is Okowa. Okowa would be acceptable to Igbos both in SS and SE. The acceptance will create a Domino effect that will draw others along.

Except you really don't want Atiku to make any headway that's why you're suggesting Wike.

Apologies but this is CAP.

Your number 1 is irrelevant.

Number 2 is a big lie, and even if he was unpopular in the east(which he is) would definitely make him popular in the north, northerners actually like wike compared to Peter Obi as Atiku's VP and the whole SS will move for Wike and also parts of the SW.

Joke of the century! Amaechi is far more acceptable than Wike to Igbos.

If Atiku is picking Wike while hoping to get Igbo support then he has failed woefully. It will even be counterproductive because it will make many Igbos to transfer the annoyance they have for Wike to Atiku. Okowa is a million times more acceptable to Igbos.

Wike may be friends with Ikpeazu and Ugwuanyi but those governors are extremely unpopular among Igbos too. They can't influence anyone to support Wike except their immediate family members and cronies.

Okowa is a good option only because of his Igbo heritage but even wike is also of Igbo heritage, and saying wike doesn't have structure is highly laughable, him not being accepted by Igbos because of the way he dealt with IPOB domestic terrorists in his state is a plus for him and shows that he's not to be taken for granted, this already will endear him with the north, plus Peter Obi's recent experiment in LP social club has already reduced the PDP's vote in the SE so bringing okowa is practically useless. The only man that can carry the SS and parts of the SW is wike and it's why he tried running for presidency, coming a close second to Atiku despite it being his first time. Atiku/Wike is a hard combo to beat.

100%

From what I am seeing, the south-south is becoming more politically relevant than the south East. In this life you must know when diplomacy is your only option and advice yourself accordingly.

With the way the Ibos are going, they may not have anyone to fill the office of the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in a very long time.

The performance of Ameachi and Wike at the presidential primaries of APC and PDP respectively speaks volumes.

Wike is of no electoral value outside Rivers state. He used to be popular amongst Igbos. But after he denied being Igbo, and called the military into Obigbo, an Igbo town, he lost all support from Igbos.

Atiku desperately needs Igbo votes and Wike cannot give him that

Wike secured Rivers State from ipob killers or those using the name of ipob to kill.

Tinubu 2023 no shaking .

AtikuWike is like Beans and Dodo...garnished with peppered roundabout and Titus fish ....Perfect combination because we need Strength, Guts and Wisdom to steer Nigeria out of this horrifying condition....

Not a self entitled mindset like we all watched some days ago

Electorates are not delegates. Do you think with that outburst and disrespect on Peter Obi Anambra and the South East will go for him?

Pls wake up.

Really? Wike blamed IPOB for the ENDSARS violence that happened in many states. But he was the only Governor that called the military in to kill unarmed people in his own state

Only a very foolish Governor will be calling in the military over a single isolated incident

The only thing Wike achieved was to kill people in Obigbo because Obigbo is an Igbo town.

You're probably a Tinubu supporter under disguise and hoping that PDP fails. Peter Obi has lots of supporters among Igbos, but his followers are now large in the SS and also growing in SW. Therefore, same way he is neutralizing potential votes for PDP in SE is also what he is doing to SS and parts of SW.

Is it only Igbos that doesn't accept him? Does the ijaws accept him? Does governors in the SS accept him? Even some Northerners/Muslims too see him as an irritant. The only reason why he ran in PDP and came second was because he has so much money to throw around and not because he is popular. Again, people are a lot different from main election.

Most people in SE would either vote LP or PDP but with Wike as Vice, that percentage that ought to go for PDP would be lost.

Most people in SS would vote either PDP or LP based on the fact that the zone largely supports PDP just like SE in the past. So, if they vote for PDP, it will never be because Wike is their Vice. SS is heterogeneous unlike SW or SE.

SW is not a traditional PDP area, so the people would mostly vote for either APC or for Obi's LP. Yorubas would never consider Wike a reason to vote for PDP.

North would also be voting for PDP because of Atiku and never because Wike is his vice. Despite all the "love" between Wike and Tambuwal, we all saw how he discarded Wike like a piece of rubbish. Tambuwal's sentiments is shared by most other Northerners.

I repeat, the only advantage Wike can bring is cash and nothing else.

An Afonja hoping to deceive PDP.

But PO made a political mistake and lost out on SE golden opportunity.

Some iboes there are wailing about atiku yet 2 SE governors are behind him, their region is about to loose out in both President and VP and think blackmailing Atiku with votes will do anything.
