It's a lie, the north is definitely voting APC, at least 40%.. as a northerner, I know states that are automatically APC/Tinubu
Bizibi:
The north is not voting apc, they're making it clear everyday and I kept wondering about the sudden love for their son because there was no support for atiku in 2019 in the north. They are even boasting that it will be 100% for atiku and when these guys boast I always take them serious.

I am surprise by the sudden shift to pdp,it was not like this 4 months ago.

There is nothing good about PO, his a tribal and religious bigot! Support ur candidate because his from ur region but stop trying to shove him down our truth with this hogwash propaganda!!

The man has no achievements worthy of a presidential candidate whatsoever

I understand u might want to vote him because u feel it's the turn if SE, that's reasonable.. nut anything in terms of capabilities is a fallacy!

but Atiku is a capitalist also? I think capitalism encourages hardwork but i respect your right to disagree

As for his supporters. I take issues with some of them too, but how can you tell people how not to react when the government have neglected them for long. Now they see a glimer of hope and the same establishment politicians are telling them to shout up and sit down? common
Besides Buharis supporters did worse in 2015 but heaven did not fall.

Obi is a good man and he means well. that is all that should matter. Anybody can become his supporter, including you and you have your right to react to issues the way you want it. its your fundamental human right.

Actually Buhari supporters only insulted pdp leaderships and not her supporters

Obama won the election because the black sold him to the whites as the next best thing and not by insult
More reasons why Trump lost his re-election, but I get your point, you guys should guide them

Obi on the other hand, needs to stop all these interviews, this is Nigeria, you win election when people assume your capabilities and not the other way round
Buhari won because of that assumption, just let your supporters do the right campaign for you

You were here in 2015, Buhari hardly campaigned for himself before his supporters sold him the people
The 1 naira to 1 dollar was not his campaign, neither is the fuel for 65 naira per litre, that’s the power of assumption
Hope you get my point

Kyase, if you are from benue state like i use to think, pls don't tell me that you left Tinubu for Atiku, support peter obi for president or just stay in the tinubu camp plsssss.

For many of us in benue, we are taking this coming election as a battle for survival cos what we face for the past 8years is not something we pray for, and if another mistake happens, we may not live to tell the story. pls kyase, support peter obi or stay in tinubu camp forever

Tell me why obi is better than Atiku, the same man he told us is the best thing that will happen to Nigeria in 2019

In as much as you will want Obi to win, you just need to tell yourself the truth, can he win the election as things stands?

Anyways Atiku is far different from Buhari far far
Re: Why Northern Christians Won’t Vote Tinubu by Nyamuri: 11:19am On Sep 19, 2022
There is nothing new, and NC won't be any decider in 2023! You guys keep talking as if it's today the northern Christians started voting against Muslim presidential candidate!! Christians in the north has never voted along with us, and we won't be needing it!!

We have always lost Benue, plateau and partially nasarawa state!! And nothing changed, just like how it won't change in 2023.. Christian votes have always been inconsequential and insignificant to over all interest of core north

Interesting times.

I respect that you are making a decision based on what you believe in i.e you are standing for something. This is becoming rare in our political climate lately, unfortunately.

Just to say tho that this is the general sendiment in the Middle Belt currently. And would be a major decider in the 2023 elections

Kyase, my amidable worthy ally, I really appreciate ur acumen, wisdom and awareness as a norther Christian. It's very unfortunate that we depart henceforth by taking a different path

My question:
1-If the presidential candidate from the south is a Muslim, what's wrong if we the north insist on a Muslim since we are the majority? The south made their choice, why can't we make ours

2- the combination had nothing to do with religious factor, but how to gain votes.. you and I know there is no famous Christian northerner with political clout that can garner votes for Tinubu

3- both Tinubu and shettima are not known to discriminate along religion line, even soome pastor's attested to this.. why the fair

4- south kd, Benue, plateau and nasarawa Christians all voted for PDP.. so there is nothing Tinubu will lose from here

But I thought the north is one, so we the Christians can vote for a Muslim because of northern ambitions but the Muslims can vote for a Christian in the spirit of brotherhood, I don’t have issue with a Muslim just for you to know

Bros, plzz answer the question.

Your HONEST answer
1. South is not north. The only part of southern Nigeria with a very significant Muslim population is the southwest, and we know well that the attitude of a typical Yoruba man to religion is not the same as that of a hausa or Fulani person.
2. Do you expect south east or south south states to have Muslim governors or deputies with their overwhelming Christian population? Mind you, no one is saying Katsina, Kano or Jigawa states with predominantly Muslim populations should have Christian governors or deputies either, not like they ever had such anyway. In some of these states, Christian indigenes who are graduates will not get even cleaning jobs in the local government Secretariats.
I hope I have answered your question.

I called you a bigot because, whatever your past actions, religion should never be important enough to decide how you vote especially because I am sure you're likely a Nigerian youth not older than Yayha Bello.

Bro, I am well-travelled and know that it is a disgrace that religion still continues to be a factor for youths in Nigerian politics. See for yourself below to note precisely what I am talking about and why you should not be patting yourself on the back when you should realize you need to evolve in comparison to others.

We cannot be justifying backwardness in Nigeria, especially as youths, and expecting Nigeria to become like the UK whereas the youths there are about ideas rather than religious worship that needs to be relegated to the background per politics and Public administration of Nigeria.

Youths are de-emphasising the influence of religion in public and political life worldwide and we are emphasising it in Nigeria. Why do you wish to swim against the tide that has evolved the most successful nations in the world yet you continue to expect Nigeria has a right to aspire to be like them? How? Why?

Brethren, it is not rocket science Nigeria is failing. We reject modern practices and innovation to stick with retrogression. You're guilty of that , as a youth, more horribly than Buhari who is nearly 80 years old.

I supported atiku in 2019 but i don't like his statements recently concerning that anti grazing law. any presidency that will continue to support this herdsmenn should not be allowed near aso rock cos it will spell doom for some of us in benue villages.

my reasons for supporting obi is because i'm 100% sure that he will not support the killing of christians and farmers. i want to be alive even if i'm suffering sir, i can't support someone who MAY still support his brothers to finish us in future.

Actually, the President that the Middle Belt and North Central voted for(a majority) has always won the Presidential elections since 1999. They have always determined the winner of the elections. For instance, it was when the NC/MB voted for Buhari, along with a majority of the SW, that Buhari won. Buhari had been a perpetual loser until then even with the vast majority of NE and NW votes since 2003.

In 2023, due to the peculiar nature

Exactly!! And the reason we have been lossing nasarawa state at times, it's because, since it's in NC and has significant Christians, PDP rigs it in their favour knowing nobody will rise an eye braw.. but not because they are more than Muslims!

No northerner was asked to get an ID card when Obi was Governor. I repeat, that did not happen. This was just a propaganda to play the religious card against Obi in the Upper North. It did not happen. Obi himsself and the northern Muslim Commisioner of Police has confirmed this and challenged anybody with contrary evidence to present it. And i want to challangne you to prevent any such evidence if you have it here. Dont forget that i said i wanted to engage you in a decent conversation.

How does confining El Rufai to a hotel during an election tribal or religious bais!!! Like i dont just get it. El Rufai was restricted by the Police as a political interest just as other Govs and politician from different parties and regions of Nigeria in that election. How is it anti-religious? Is El rufai a Prophet of God? Plzz enlighten me.

As for the killings of northerners in Anambra. I dont have info on that. But northerners have unfortunately been killed in the south(including Anambra) just as southerners have been killed in the north. It is very unfortunate situation that we Nigerians are well aware of. But i dont see how that makes the state Govs tribal or religious bigots
