Bad and wrong choice, what a historic mistake
If you call it a mistake, then you're probably politically naive.

If Tinubu had chosen a northern Christian, he would have lost with a landslide with Atiku in the picture.

Southwest has no problem with whoever he chooses since we already have him. Let the north choose their preferred candidate. The core north would never have supported a Christian northerner.

Hmmm

I'm going to repost my prediction for 2023 here, that I made on another thread, now that BAT and APC have their cards on the table..along with LP and PDP



To add, it is possible that Atiku could do enough to win without a runoff. Obi and BAT supporters are fighting out a scorched earth campaign , and the Southern vote may be severely divided as a result. All Atiku needs to do is win in the North, take a few Southern states, and that's it.


(Of course playing politcal prophet is a risky game. Most of the time, one is wrong. Remember the 2016 election in the USA, where everyone thought it was Clinton that would beat Trump.)

Modifed

For those calling Peter Obi a Biafranist....recall that in 1993, Sylvester Ugoh, who was Tofa's running mate in NRC...was actually the governor of the Central Bank of Biafra. His signature appears on the Biafran pound (I used to have a few specimens of the thing...a pound note). Yet the Northern brigade chose him as Tofa's running mate. Tines were different back then. Obi meanwhile has never supported or backed Biafra or IPOB Oor Massob, and IPOB hates him well well.).

He would, or at the very least, get some states. PDP has a lot of supporters in the South.

For now, the main issue is Wike, though. I don't like the way PDP is treating him, and honestly some of Atiku's advisers are worried he is not doing enough to placate Wike....that could cost SS votes.

Like I said, even with my predictions, anything can happen in the next 7-8 months.
So with how people are gingered to vote this time around you still think the current surge will favour atiku in the south?

APC just scored another own goal.

The first was picking Tinubu ahead of Osinbajo in the primaries.

I am definitely not voting for Tinubu. Nigerians it is time to get rid of APC. They are definitely a confused party.

I'm totally against your permutation and analysis!!
No problem. If you did read my post, you would see that even I think I am a bad predictor. (That's a big part of why I don't do betting...)

1-Buhari will definitely support Tinubu, he said it vividly that Tinubu is his choice , he might not have been prior to primaries.. But now as a candidate of APC, Buhari is a very discipline fella, hence, he can't work against Tinubu/APC
That is true.

2- Buhari has a very soft spot for NE in his heart, he was once a military governor, coupled with the fact that borno gave him second highest votes, he won't dump Shettima
Again true...Borno in particular may go for APC...Zulum is doing a good job. But Atiku is in play now, and that could be dicey.

3- Atiku will not win the north!! The 22 APC governors are fighting for broke and survival, they need Tinubu as much as he needs them, or PDP/LP eventual winner will blow them away just like how Buhari/APC did in most states in 2015
And those Northern governors won because Buhari was on the ballot. Buhari is responsible for their winning. Buhari not being on the ballot? Well, like I said, the Buhari bloc could still listen to their master and vote for BAT on his instructions....but at the same time, Buhari not being on the ballot could lead to many looking for a new person..and Atiku is closest to what they want.

4- choosing Kashima, a kanuri from NE, will give Atiku a run for his money.. Kanuri are majority in Borno and yobe, and can be find in other NE States.. So automatically Tinubu has borno and yobe, other NE state could go either way(but difference if margin won't be up to 20%)
It would...which is part of why the BAT choose him.
5- Tinubu already has a block region in SW, he should atleast get 70% here.. Fayose, kayode and makinwa coming together tells u the mindset and trajectory of SW
Five years ago, I would have agreed with you, but now, I'm not so sure. Chrsitians are very angry with APC right now, and that may affect APC votes all over the South. Plus PDP's performance last election...55 to 45%...that's not too good for APC (If I was an APC man in the SW, I would be worried, even though we won!)....plus they did better than expected in Lagos.

Well, BAT has no choice. It was either a Muslim VP or nothing. Choosing a christian won't have done much, especially in the North (where Christian votes most likely would go for PDP with some going to LP...APC may not do well enough)..whereas choosing a Muslim means he gets a chance to have the Buhari bloc vote for him...and snatch some votes from Atiku's backyard. (Borno may go for APC...Zulum has been doing a good job as governor, given the bad hand he was handed)

If APC wanted to win, a christian southerner may have done the trick as presidential candidate. Though, it may have still tilted the North to PDP, and the crucial Middle belt also to PDP and LP. South is divided between LP, PDP and APC.

But as people have said...Buhari not being on the ballot could make the race more competitive. Nothing is guaranteed...even with Bubu travelling around with BAT and calling him his brother from another mother (or son, lol).
Nah... APC has lost face all over the nation even the North! Let's face facts!

Tinubu played into the hands of these manipulative Northeners! The stage is set for another Northern continuity.

All Atiku needs now is play his cards right with the Southern and Northern Christians.

There is no way Tinubu is selling this Muslim/Muslim ticket to Christian voters in the South, North and Middle Belt.

Tinubu is alotof things but one good thing about him is that he rewards loyalty. I admire that about him. Kashim Shettima has been at the forefront of the Tinubu's struggle.

Oga only Yoruba cannot make Tinubu the president! The North will not live an Atiku and Kwankwaso to vote Tinubu. I am a Northern Christian, we are in millions! We will not vote him because he ignore us! Peter chances are getting clearer!!!!
Because of the bolded is why we need a popular and sellable northern. I see no reason for you to condemn tinubu's choice. Because you won't still vote for him if he had chosen a Christian running mate.

Goodluck though, God should keep us till 2023 and beyond.

Don't you think, there may be some christains that would ordinarily want to vote for him but because of this combination, they may refrain.
I am a Christian and would vote for Asiwaju even is he picks a pagan as running mate. I'm not sure religion will dissuade any enlightened Nigerian from voting Asiwaju as president in 2023.

You understood their concern. If he had chosen an unpopular Christian from the North, they will be happy and still not vote for him. Now that he has chosen a popular northern Muslim; he has become a threat. I'm a Christian and will gladly vote for Tinubu. Politics is beyond sentiment, as the aim of a politician is to win.
Can you give me one convincing reason why you want to vote Tinubu?

Probably. Like I said...LP and APC are most likley to split the Southern vote. But PDP still has a lot of support in the South..and people may vote for a PDP they know...than a LP they do not know (Yes, LP has won elections in Ondo...but that was because PDP and APC were divided..and anyways, APC took over once Mimiko left.).

LP in my opinion has a lot of work to do. Ekiti election was a mess for the party...if it is hoping to win southern votes. It came tenth, and even came in behind SDP...which has less visibility than it does. For now, APC and PDP are the leading parties in the South..with PDP leading in the SE, SS, APC in the SW.

Of course, there is the Wike factor....PDP up till now does not know how to placate him.
Re: Tinubu Confirms Kashim Shettima As His Running Mate by Enesis: 5:03pm On Jul 10, 2022
A bad choice. Kashim Shetima is a big time financier of Boko Haram. Am from the Northeastern part of Nigeria. He coordinated the famous Chibok girls kidnapped. No to Muslim - Muslim ticket.....
Re: Tinubu Confirms Kashim Shettima As His Running Mate by ItsTutsi(m): 5:04pm On Jul 10, 2022
I definitely agree SW Christian are very agree now, but as time goes, it will subside, especially when campaign start.. Tinubu is a strategic politician, he knows he will need to specify southern Christian and he will do that by visiting Christian leaders like RCCG, CAN etc
