You still want a northerner to continue this ruling right, so that the pampering of Killers ( terrorist and bandits) can prevail.

If you keep willing that North (terrorism and banditry) should continue you will die before this election

This free advice from CAN "of worms" is not necessary. Neither is it needed. This CAN lacks the expertise and competence to advise politicians. It is total bullshit of advice.
Please leave our politicians alone. They have advisors on their payroll who do that job.
The truth is that CAN fears that the so-called Muslim-Muslim ticket will succeed. Otherwise they should have no cause to appear in such stupid manner to pretend to be preaching peace and unity.
Nonsense!

Let me see how he can buy Northern votes when Atiku is there, the hungry ones in the north is waiting for Atiku little convincing and dollars… Tinubu doesn’t stand a chance buddy unless he get massive votes from SS and SE. The north is 70% for Atiku

Who will give Tinubu the massive vote in the Niger Delta? He should be grateful if he gets %0.1 vote in the entire Igbo land. Those guys are emotional voters.

In the spirit of fairness, assuming Muslims are the majority and Christian are second in population, no matter what, at the helm, with an Atiku ticket, a Christian interest will be represented and that's fair. For a Muslim Muslim ticket, that's a typical Bleep you to the Christian communities and will be very counterproductive.
Let's not kid ourselves.

This muslim muslim or christian christian thingy is not about any interest. christian interest, muslum interest bla bla bla

It's only about bragging rights...

It might not matter to you in the periphery, but it plays a significant role on so many things behind the scene. It brings the needed checks and balances on the issue of governance and policies that might hitherto appear harmless, but might be into the future.

It is now a law to transmit votes electronically, that means rigging of elections has been reduced drastically.

Igbos are only tribe that have 99% of voters in the South East and second highest voters in other regions in Nigeria.

In the South West, after Yoruba votes, Igbo votes come second. Lagos has the highest number of voters in Nigeria and Igbos are competing with Yorubas in voting power in Lagos.

In the South South, we have indigenous Igbos in the South South and all the major cities in the South South are occupied by Igbos. Go to Port Harcourt you will understand what I mean.

In the North Central, go to Jos and all the state capital in the North Central, Igbos are the second largest population after the indigenous people.

In the North West, go to Kano and Kaduna and you will know that Igbos are the second largest population after indigenous people.

In the North East, go to Maidugri and all the state capitals, Igbos are the second largest tribe after the indigenous people.

Go to federal capital territory Abuja, Igbos are the largest population in Abuja today.

If Igbos truly want to determine who will rule this country today, they will but they only sit back and lament without any action.

Peter Obi is the most qualified candidate to rule this country but Igbos are not with their voters card.

Go and get your PVC today!!!

Political parties care about a winning combination.

As a northerner, I know something for sure;

If Tinubu chooses a xtian as his VP he stands not a BAT in hell's chance of becoming Nigeria's president.

So the northern Muslims who constitute the biggest voting bloc in Nigeria will siddon look the minorities whose combined voting power is nowhere near theirs to rule over them?

Only with a Muslim Muslim ticket does the Apc stands a chance, otherwise they should as well quit the race even before it started. Reason?

The muslims are the majority in the NW, NE, NC and SW(for SW do the math state by state). The only area where Christians predominate are SE and SS. In fact, if not for the magnanimity of Muslims in Nigeria, a xtian can never be Nigeria's president! Yes, you heard me right because the muslims are the majority in this country even according to the CIA factbook (Google it and see).

Don't get me wrong.

The major reason why i supported Amaechi or Osinbajo to emerge over Tinubu was because i foresaw this running mate wahala.

I am definitely against a Muslim Muslim ticket; as much as i am against another 8 years of a Muslim Presidency.

That was why i was mad when PDP refused to zone the presidential primaries to the south under the flimsy excuse of throwing the contest open.

So both the Muslim Muslim ticket and power being retained by another Muslim after 8 years of Buhari are equally very bad in my eyes.


So i do not have anything against CAN speaking out against a Muslim Muslim ticket, but they should have spoken out about another Muslim succeeding Buhari, and should have done it when Atiku emerged for PDP.

So CAN are being hypocritical i insist!


Zoning PDP's ticket to who? Wike?

Having a Wike vs. Tinubu on the poll is a complete waste of time. Tinubu would win the election in 25 minutes.

PDP Bloc is shared in there base both in North and SE/SS(PO effect).

I see Asiwaju having a field day bro.

Moslems are not the majority. Only Yoruba moslems will vote for Tinubu. Atiku and Kwankwanso will still win the North.

Northern Christians will align with Peter Obi. If Nigeria vote strictly on religious line, Peter Obi will win before 12 PM.

Atiku, Kwankwanso and Tinubu will share moslem votes.

For the first time in a long while, Nigerians have a realistic opportunity to restructure the country with Tinubu. Everyone knows he is a strong and vocal advocate of restructuring. He commands the respect and trust of key northern leaders without whom restructuring cannot happen. So if a muslim-muslim ticket is what it will take to see him in power, so be it! Nigerians irrespective of religious leaning will be glad he was president when he is through.

When people make statements like, let's make very very severe compromises because for some reason you guys think one man will just change things without a whole region wanting things to change I just shake my head, with all the talk about Buhari changing certain things, what happened??...

You guys should understand this, if a whole region does not want things to change, it will not change, especially when it has to do with structural changes in the Constitution and all that, only severe agitations that threaten the Unity of the country compels certain things to change.

You compromise with an aggresor that is sensible, but continue to compromise with an aggresor that is entitled and you will be silenced, the only way to match an entitled aggresor is to be as aggressive or more, this establishes respect and in this mutual respect both parties can now work together...

I keep drumming this into proponents of compromising for the false purpose that through the back door one man will change things but we refuse to listen and the country is more devided than ever, instead of trying to bring people together, we want to cause more devision, make Una continue.

They meddle in politics but accuse northern Muslims of injecting religion into politics.

Keep quiet abeg, they are not fanning any religious divide, it the people insensitive to the religious nature of the country that are fanning the divide, they are merely speaking the minds of most Christians, even think of fielding a Christian/Christian ticket in this country and some people will start setting others on fire say na blasphemy...

There is no doubt that south westerners have been living harmoniously amongst themselves irrespective of religion. We are talking about Nigeria as a whole and Tinubu will not be a president of the south west rather a president of Nigeria were every one both Christians, Muslims and traditionalist etc must be carried along. In today's Nigeria, we have two dominant religion, Muslims and Christians,
APC has to present candidates that reflects the interest of this two dominant religion but if they won't do that, well the election result will tell. The both religion have individuals that can win elections so why pick candidates from one particular religion.

Why no one is talking about a Christian/ Christian ticket but rather a Muslim/Muslim ticket.

Thanks. You started by saying South Westerners have been living harmoniously among themselves and ended by saying why is nobody talking about Christian - Christian ticket.

The answers are in that my submission. You also said APC has to pick a Christian if they want to win. Let me start here. 98% of people complaining are PDP with about 96% of them IBO. They (PDP & IBO) should allow Tinubu to pick a Muslim so that it would be easier for PDP to win. Remember since 2020, the IBO youths said they prefer death to Tinubu becoming President and you can see Ohaneze Ndigbo assault and vendetta against an individual from another tribe. They should allow him to pick Muslim so that all the Christians in Africa can vote for Atiku and Peter Obi.

Now coming back to your last statement, One of my personal friends once served as a top diplomat in Niger & Chad and acting Ambassador as a young man. Before Amalgamation and before independence, the North was predominantly an Islamic nation. Ahmadu Bello is an Arabic scholar. Under British, they used Sharia Penal codes. They have Sharia judiciary.

In the South West, western education of our political fathers have seen that religion is a personal conviction and has nothing to do with developmental issues. Politics is a religion of interests. Democracy is a game of numbers. We know this from our forefathers. The issue on ground is fundamental. It should have been settled before independence and in 1959.

Nobody stops Christian - Christian ticket but it cannot win election because of the Islamic system in the North. The constitution does not stipulate religion as basis for being a President or vice President because it would create a situation where Muslims from the South West cannot aspire for the Presidency. The IBOs said the North does not recognize South West Muslim how come they are now complaining about Muslim - Muslim tickets. Even if Tinubu chose Pope Francis as VP, Tinubu enemies will not vote for him.

What you wrote is too childish. What is Federal Character? You also talk about contracts award. So, under Tinubu in Lagos majority of contractors are Muslim? Or was it because of Jonathan Christians were given contracts under Yaradua?

There are many fundamental issues. Sharia, Islamization and Fulani invasion of native lands are issues that are beyond President and Vice President alone. Nigeria has fundamental issues from beginning. Umaru Dikko and Uba Ahmed were more powerful than Ekwueme as VP. Atiku as VP was not the same as Jonathan or Osinbajo as VP.

Wisdom is required. CAN and Christians should understand when Bible says Wisdom is the principal thing.
Okay you are also right all the same.

Of course I am aware that governance whether democratic or otherwise in Nigeria seldom benefit the masses. The Democratic dividends always goes to the politicians. Actually there is no point making all these arguments, I realized that me making all is arguments is a waste of time, pointless.

It's all about perception. Tinubu is not a fanatics. His wife is a Deaconess in RCCG, and some of his children are married to christians. MKO Abiola managed it and I expect Tinubu to manage it.

Tinubu would need one of the Muslim governors in the North to win. Not a Christian governor or any woman. I expect him to understand the dynamic of the North. He should carry CAN along and it would work for him as it worked for MKO Abiola then.
