It's true. Nigeria would still rather vote him than vote than vote another fulanis candidate. The best choice whim everyone would rather vote still remains Obi Peter. But the question on everyone's mind is, Can he Win?
My question is can he make it to 25% in 24 states?

Freedom34:
Lolz.......and who were d 'tellolists' that killed him biko?
Muslim dominated iswap/boko haeam or Christian dominated ipob/ESN?

Freedom34:
You've not answered d question nwokem!
APC and PDP na d same party? Do they operate d same constitution? Is d law governing APC binding on PDP and vice versa?

You shot urself on d foot with ur analogy biko.
Its not fair for sw to benefit from apc's constitution but its fair for atiku (a northerner) to come immediately after another northerner's 8 yrs rule right?


Lolz., ds wan na jjc o.
In 1999, sw didn't vote for obj. As a mata of fact obj lost in his own ward sef yet he won d general election.
#Go figure!

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.

When I say North I mean Muslim North because they constitute 85% of northerners. Unless we want to deceive ourselves but religion plays an important role in our election.

Peter Obi is the only right choice.

It is better to "waste" your vote on Peter Obi than vote any of these 2 criminals who had active arrest warrants by US government.

descarado:
Unless some of the usernames are not igbo.
Igbos here don't know how to campaign.

Leave yoruba alone and sell your candidate.
You guys should learn the tactics used in campaigning.
Yoruba is never your problem.

Every idiot will come online to yarn yoruba this or that.

You make it very hard to market obi.
All of you.

Your posts are doing more damage.

What is wrong with you people?

When Buhari won GEJ in 2015, how many Northern Governors in PDP were in office?

Wasting of vote is loading ....pls don't tell us you want Biafra again when Tinubu start his new administration. At least you are for Obi in one Nigeria now.. .......

BabydiHot:

shatap
Tinubu wey begged Buhari to win Osun state wey nearly don go to pdp
Same Tinubu wey lost woefully in edo state

Hehehehe

the youths are coming

they have no manifestos to campaign with apart from their usual old tribalism and tribal card tactics.

But we'll remind them that tribalism won't bring back dollars to at least 400
tribalism won't bring back fuel to 95 naira
tribalism won't send our undergraduates back to school.
tribalism won't fix our security.
tribalism won't develop our economy.

2023 will be the youths vs the criminals
it won't be business as usual.

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. 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?

2. Now, one secret that Southern 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! 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 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?

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 ....

Zonefree:
South East or the North continues.

PassingShot:

Yes, you can vote LP or any other party. However, APC and PDP remain the two front runners and they naturally enjoy more focus and attention now.

Try answer the poser I put up.

YelloweWest:

Do northerners play party politics?? Their strategy is to support their own.

They don't consider atiku as such!

Tinubu will pick a strong vp like elrufia and they are hoping he will die soon...

casualobserver:


Do they have structures yet? They have people to man 170,000 polling booths?

Hearme:


Your data is incorrect. Some Northern states are even Christian dominated while others have between 35-50% indigenous christians not to talk of visitors and federal workers that are christians working or doing business in those states.

E.g. Benue, Taraba, Gombe, Plateau are christians dominated. You will get between 35-50 % christians in Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Adamawa, Borno, Kaduna, Bauchi and FCT.

There are indigenous Christians from Zuru in Kebbi state, some areas in Sokoto, Yobe, Niger and Katsina. Not to mention the visitors and business men and women , federal workers etc living in those states.

There has always been a misconception of the North as one big Muslim group who are only Hausa or Fulani that is not correct.

CheapHomes1:


Tinubu said he made buhari president. If having a fulani as president is the problem, why did you support Tinubu when he was making buhari, a fulani man the president? Why didn't you fight against Tinubu and tell him to use his resources to support Jonathan at the time? Why didn't Tinubu collapse his campaign for buhari and put it at the disposal of Jonathan so that Jonathan would have given him a ministerial slot?

CheapHomes1:


Is Tinubu the only southern candidate contesting against atiku?

integrity16:


Who is this ignorant goat?

seunmsg:


Tinubu supported Jonathan in 2011. Instead of fulfilling the agreement they had, he reneged. Again, it was the turn of the north in 2015 so supporting Buhari against the extremely corrupt and unpopular regime of Jonathan was the right thing to do.

seunmsg:


He’s the only Southerner with a realistic chance of winning.
