I rather see Atiku win than Tinubu
Tinubu presidency is dead before arrival.
sane Nigerians have rejected him
where will he get votes ? SE is no go area SW apart from his urchins , real Omoluabis and intellectuals in SW have rejected him totally. North he'll struggle to get reasonable votes in the North because except you're living in a fools paradise you'll realise that the north is going for their brother Atiku. Middle belt is no go area because what Middle belt saw in Apc their mouth no fit talk am. you don't expect such people to vote the very person romancing murderous herdsmen because of their votes. South South will be between Obi and Atiku because no reasonable southerner will want to reinforce failure called Apc through the agbado munching gorilla Tinubu.
so I ask again where and how will Tinubu win ? which region will he sweep ? the only hope of the agbado munching urchins is federal might because they're in power but buhari I know will not interfere in this election and it will be level battle field.
so projecting Tinubu to win is you being mischievous and propagating a paid agenda which we all know already.
Tinubu will never be president God will not abandon Nigeria in the hands of Tinubu.
God bless igbos God bless real Omoluabis God bless North. God bless other tribes in Nigeria.
thunder scatter Tinubu urchins. don't mind him, he's trying to make the Igbo's feel good about becoming senate president. he doesn't know we've gone passed that level of mumuism. tbh bro, there are many insane Nigerians, cos even tho the sane ones will not vote him, what about the insane ones? |

tiger28: This comment is a CLASSIC Example of what happened in Osun election..............
Biafrans rejoicing that Tinubu lost the election WHILE Labor Party had JUST 2K votes.
Isn't that madness? It exposes their Political naivete!
Fortunately, Because the Yorubas are Democratic by Nature, Atiku winning is STILL a win win for them because they have almost EQUAL numbers in PDP and APC.
To the Biafrans, it will be a LOSS LOSS LOSS (lol) e pain am ooo |

mcmurphy132: Those LP supporter who prefer Atiku to Tinubu are still former PDP supporter.. that is PDP is of two set Atiku and obi.. they both rely on same vote... Advantage for APC.. Thats just the Truth.. 70% of Obi supporter never voted APC in 2019 Nigerians rejected APC totally because of Buhari's failure. The north noticed that & r dumping the party leaving the SW behind to carry on with the sinking ship. 3 reasons why APC will even see votes at all:(1) Tribal affiliations: Due to natural bias,APC will get some votes from the SW because they r his kinsmen. Yet many yorubas who pride themselves as Omoluabis have said it openly that they r voting for Obi. The same reason applies to Shettima. His tribesmen will vote for APC since he is on the ticket. (2) Financial gains: These r the voters willing to sell their votes to the APC irrespective of the consequences of bad governance thereafter. (3) Political elite strategizing for relevance: As party men, it's a normal thing to work for ur party's success & there's nothing fundamentally wrong with that. But on the moral side, it's wrong to project a failed party knowing that Nigerians are at the receiving end of their bad governance. Note: With the current situation in the country, if Buhari was going for a 3rd tenure, the north will vote against him. So what makes u feel the north will support Tinubu because of Buhari's; that's more of a daydream. Tinubu blindly supported Buhari despite his failings so he can succeed him in 2023. He never criticised him. [b]That clearly shows selfishness over patriotism. It means Tinubu is willing to let Nigeria burn if that's the only way for him to achieve his lifelong ambition. Talk about the end justifying the means. Nigerians saw all these & r no fools. He is not the type of president we need. [/b]Thank God the same Buhari he went to lengths to support isn't returning the favor meaning the election will be fair to an extent,at least BVAS will play a huge role. So: (1)Without the much touted Buhari's northern block votes (2)Buhari's indifference to who succeeds him & provision of a level playing field ie BVAS & other electoral amendments (3)Some SWesterners vowing not to vote him (4)Buhari's & APC's woeful performance such that they badly damaged Nigeria on many fronts (5)Tinubu's "political baggage"- Muslim-muslim ticket, frail health status, alleged corruption & drug trafficking, fake bishops, controversies surrounding his: age, academic attendance, family background, village/state of origin etc; How does Tinubu & his supporters still believe he can win the 2023 presidential election? |

Obinoscopy: As a follow up to my previous thread, this thread is dedicated to the possible permutations for Senate Presidency IF Tinubu wins (and that's a big "if"). Tinubu is from the South West while his vice is from North East. Also both of them are Muslims. Thus the Senate Presidency has to come from either the South East or South South and has to be a Christian.
In the South East, the major contender is Orji Uzor Kalu (Abia North). Even though he did not support Tinubu during the APC primaries, he has been very vocal in his support for Tinubu. So I wouldn't be surprised if Tinubu would lobby for Orji Uzor Kalu to become the Senate President. Also I believe Kalu is a Christian and he a majority leader (Chief Whip) in the Senate, these are his strong points. However Kalu has to win his re-election into the Senate first. He has a major challenger from PDP, Mao Ohaobunwa. So I guess, Kalu's focus should be to win the Senate election first. He defeated Ohaobunwa in the last election, perhaps he can do it again. Another possible stumbling block to Kalu is Osita B. Izunaso (APC, Imo West). That Izunaso guy is an underdog who should not be overlooked. He was the one who singlehandedly retired Arthur Nzeribe from the Senate, so he could pose a stumbling block to Kalu's bid if he is also interested in being the 2023 Senate President.
In the South South, I'm going for Peter Nwaoboshi (Delta North). He is a 2 term senator and is a Christian as well. However he has to win Ned Nwoko of the PDP first before his dream of becoming a Senate President can be realised. Another contender, albeit a lightweight one, is Biobarakuma Degi (Bayelsa East).
For the Speaker House of Representative, I would say either North Central or North West gets it, but I’m tilting towards North West because they will likely priduce more APC seats than the North Central. But the permutations on who would likely be a strong contender is very complex and beyond my scope.
So, in conclusion, I'll say the major contenders for the Senate Presidency IF Tinubu wins are Orji Uzor Kalu, Osita Izunaso and Peter Nwaboshi.
Modification: I was also made to be aware that Godswill Akpabio (APC, Akwa Ibom North West) is another strong contender. I know he has some legal hurdles to surmount. If that's solved, I'll say he also is a strong contender alongside Orji Uzor Kalu. Tinubu cannot even come close to winning, so no need to waste time reading all this. |
