Mossadd:
power should actually remains in north since apc failed to give us osibanjo

TheFacelessMan:
Sorry to be so blunt.

1. Northern Christians are despised in their region and have very little influence. In fact, Dogara has control of just 3 LGAs in Bauchi State - as strong as he's touted. Tinubu will definitely lose if he tries it.

2. Now, one secret that people don't know, Atiku is really hated in the North. He has a reputation of a snake. He's widely abused as a homo and not a true Muslim. He's said to have been cursed to never be President by a popular Islamic Cleric. To be honest, I still don't understand the hate.

3. Tinubu will pick someone very strong from the North and he will be a Muslim. Northerners even see it as a revenge because OBJ foisted an unhealthy Yaradua that didn't really rule actively. They feel BAT might die in power or the VP does most of the heavy lifting.

By the time Tinubu calls meetings of traditional religious leaders and the big Pastors of Yorubaland e.g. Adeboye, Kumuyi and Oyedepo.... you will be shocked how the potential 60% SW votes turns to 80 or even 90!

Bloc votes from SW and a North 50/50 or even 40% from North will win it for BAT.

Politicians do their calculations well... no matter Atiku's vice, he's very unlikely to win. That's just the reality.

Tinubu is a strong politician but I doubt anyone was sure he would soundly thrash President + Vice President + Senate President + Party Chairman. Did we really expect such a wide margin?

The main election campaigns might be physically tasking for him, but he will very likely trounce Atiku. The others don't matter at all; not worth mentioning.

PassingShot:
I have read a lot of people saying "no to Muslim-Muslim ticket" even before Asiwaju emerged. Now that he has emerged as the standard bearer of APC with Atiku as the major challenge to him, I wonder why a Muslim-Muslim ticket of Tinubu presidency is not better than a return of the presidency to north possibly for another eight years after 8 years of PMB.

Like or loathe APC, it has demonstrated being a truly progressive party by standing with a return of the presidency to the South even after Atiku had emerged as PDP's candidate. PDP damned everything common sense by making Atiku emerge with possibility of keeping the presidency in the north and a lot of people seem not to care because PDP is doing what they need to do to win the election without considering fairness and equity.

I am strongly convinced that when the time comes, majority of voters will side with an APC' Muslim-Muslim ticket which returns presidency to the south and reject a Muslim-Christian ticket which keeps the presidency to the north for another eight years to make it 16 straight years of Northern dominance.


Let's vote for these two options:

Like this post if you think a Muslim-Muslim ticket of APC is a fairer bargain.

Share if you think a Muslim-Christian ticket of PDP which keeps the presidency in the north is a fairer deal.

It's more noble for power to remains in North than to go to SW again.

I don't know any northern Christian who can sincerely get him enough votes in the north, especially the core north. Politics is about playing your best card to win.

Tinubu will definitely lose if he tries it. If you notice, El Rufai said he would do Muslim / Muslim ticket in Kaduna, and he won. Didnt you also notice that Tinubu didn't waste time during campaign with delegates in certain regions?

I agree completely with the OP. This choice is now before us especially southerners. We either endure power returns to the south through Tinubu or it remains in the north with Atiku.

Validated:
Governor Bako Simon Lalung is there. Except Tinubu want to kick against the brickwall. If he goes with a muslim, ATIKU wins. Atleast, Christians would represented. We are not an Islamic State.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
The Christains and Youths are behind Peter Obi.A Muslim can't succeed Buhari after 8years then power will return to the North.Christains are not foolish.Kwankwanso, Atiku and Tinubi should go and share Muslim votes

emmanuelbrown26:
Now I know that naija is created to be useless forever.
I keep wondering why nobody is questioning how Tinubu and Atiku won their respective party tickets when u hv young men in their parties?
Does it mean that there are no young and vibrant young men in their parties?
Well, I wish them well,nmine is to gather fund and leave this kantry for una

Oh I even forgot his wife is a Pastor in RCCG and not in the Senate (free to campaign). Remi will go to mega churches - Yorubas undisputably have the biggest.... and preach every Sunday.

Bloc votes from SW and a North 50/50 or even 40% from North will win it for BAT.

Politicians are like sharks, they easily smell blood in the water I.e. they quickly jump to the side of a potential winner. The APC primaries was an eye-opener for many. SS will smartly fall in line, BAT might not win there but he will do better than projected. SE will be stubborn as usual and unfortunately shout marginalization later. Unfair it might seem but true.

The main election campaigns might be physically tasking for him, but he will very likely trounce Atiku. The other candidates don't matter at all; not worth mentioning.

Tinubu can only lose if he chooses Ganduje (bad reputation) or a Northern Christian. Or Yoruba/Yoruba ticket ....

PassingShot:
Is a presidential ticket given or won?

Osinabjo that didn't come 2nd in the primary? He would have been a very easy fry for Atiku/PDP

juman:
Muslim-Muslim ticket with some little rigging, boom they win.

Apc is ready to rig that is one of the reason they put professor of law aside not to tarnish him.

OFFICIAL336:
I problem with Yorubas is that you don't travel. The North has large Christian population. Tinubu will lose those votes.

There is no how indigenous Northern Christians will vote Moslem Moslem ticket when they have option.

Also, Moslem Moslem ticket in the South is DOA. If Buhari couldn't pull it off, is it Tinubu that would?

Again, even if Tinubu picks a Moslem VP, Moslem North will still vote for Atiku and Kwankwanso over a Moslem North VP.

Seriously, I want Tinubu to pick a Moslem VP because it will benefit Peter Obi more.

But if he picks a Northern Christian, the election will be between Obi and Atiku.

How Yorubas can't reason beyond their nose is what I don't understand. They have an Osinbanjo but they queued behind Tinubu.

Yoruba sophistication starts and ends on paper.

seunmsg:
Igbo Christians with their 5% irrelevant votes will vote for Obi and that’s all.

juman:
Northern leaders would prefer a Muslim representing them.
