So how is obi in any way better than Kwankwaso? Don't you think the only challenge Kwankwaso has is because Hausa is presently holding the office of the president, and it won't be fair to hand over to another northerner. By the next election when it will be the turn of the north, Kwankwaso is the best man. His work and experience speak, he is better than late Yaradua in terms of infrastructure and development. Go and see the longest flyover in west Africa is in Kano, built under 8 years. Then such a brain should become vice to a university 3rd class graduate? Wake up and understand Nigeria.

quote author=tempest01 post=119787054]Kwankwanso just let bigotry get better of him.
If I was in his position, I would have given Obi the ticket and made someone like Abba Gida the vice.

The problem is that they were still calculating that the South was still collectively gullible and will join them in bigotry and also continue playing second fiddle.

They forget that they just completed an abysmal tenure and people have been forced to wake up.

Workch:
Kwankwaso being a VP to Obi will not be effective enough to make Obi win the election. The Igbo factor will still make people not vote for Obi in NW and NE. It will amount to People in NW and NE seeing Atiku and Tinubu as no1 and 2 option. Kwankwaso will not be able to deliver much as a VP aspirant.

The fact that kwankwaso is in the race and is going to scatter APC and PDP votes in NW and NE is a plus for Obi.

This is the most efficient way to steal votes from APC and PDP and make those votes utterly useless because kwankwaso will not win the election.

It is you guys that didn't experience kwankwaso's governance that take him serious. How is kwankwaso better than buhari?
Buhari is a bigot, kwankwaso is a bigger bigot
Buhari is a religious fanatic, kwankwaso is
Kwankwaso has this mentality of northern supremacy and that is why he refused to step down for obi, you can see his comments later on.
Mark my word any where, this is is best opportunity he just lost
He will never have another opportunity to aso rock for any reason

Think about it. If Obi/Datti ends there tenure,
and obi did well which we believe by God's grace, Ahmed Datti will easily get the youths support and after that, it will be a southern turn. That means the next opportunity for kwankwaso will be the next 16years. How old will he be then and will the youths pick him against younger contenders then? No

I am happy pride did not allow him. He is not a good person at all

Dreams come true my man.

See life has a funny way of giving you what you dream about if you believe.
Who could ever think someone like obi will be a contender for presidency not to talk of a major contender.

Dare to dream and see life happen to you

When Joe Biden won his first election as an American Senator, Obama was still a young naive college student.
But in 2008, he saw the potential in Obama and accepted to step down his Presidential ambition to become a running mate to the first black Presidential hopeful.
That singular act paved way for his Presidency today.
He may not say it publicly but I know he(Kwankwaso) is regretting the blunder.
As for his party, being PO's running mate will not affect his candidates cos political parties can adopt another party's candidate as their candidate for a particular position.

If you are a bigot already, then you are a foolish bigot.
I called out his bigotry solely because of the statement he made which is on live TV.
Who is your own candidate?
Definitely a thief.
You dey dey call another mumu'

I know, what am saying is that when it comes, Ahmed Datti will be a bigger force to contend with especially if Ahmed have the endorsement of obi

ArewaNorth:

You don't understand politics if u truly believe Kwankwaso is contesting for 2023. He is just gathering the momentum, becoming famous and will soon be the prince of the North after exit of Buhari. His candidacy is in line with political calculation that layman may not understand.
In 2023 it is obvious Kwankwaso would've wasted his time and diminish his popularity by staying in PDP or deputizing a character like Obi. If not because of ethno-religious jingoism, how can a person of Obi character be remodeled, reshaped and dubiously amplified as Presidential candidate despite having no good track record of competence, hardwork, strong leadership skills. Going by his past antecedents, Obi isn't worthy of being a Governor in states like Kano, Kaduna, and Lagos.

So because kwankwaso built bridge in Kano made him the best, have you seen the underpass gandollar built in Kano?

You need to travel and stop all these talk. If it is by bridge, gandollar, umahi the clown also built bridge

Person wey sabi
BAT best chance is to win the 1st ballot, if he doesn't then Atiku will take the run off.
PO is definitely not in the equation for a run off (if that happens) cos he wont have the spread required

That man won't rule Nigeria no matter how hard he tries

tempest01:


Better than obi with what indices?

1. Why should the northerner be accepted by the South with no questions and the southerner not accepted by the North?

2. A northerner has just finished their tenure and equity suggests that a southerner should be on the front burner of the ticket.

3. The pulse of the moment was showing that the youth and a lot of the South was rallying around Obi. Politically, NNPP had a chance to become the third force even if they did not win, the political gains would have set them up for the future with many offices and a pan Nigerian party.

The miscalculation of one person has limited the party to a regional heavyweight like the likes of APGA. I don't see any political sense in not agreeing to the merger even though at that time getting the numbers didn't look feasible.

You can only imagine what could have been. We would have been building a new party nationwide and controlling the structures.

Raheeqilmaktoom:


1. There are many Southerners contesting, and one of them is a front runner, so I don't know how you come about the north not supporting a Southerner.

Tinubu has been accepted by a large percentage of the northern region that he fancies himself as the next president and many analysis put him at the forefront, your assertion holds no water.

2. 1 above.

3. The north does not owe the SE the debt of aligning with their wishes and their chosen candidate. Many northerners have been rejected by the SE even when they chose their running mates from that region.

If northerners don't see in Obi someone they can vote for, the SE lacks the moral standing to cry foul.

It is what it is.

Kwankwaso being a VP to Obi will not be effective enough to make Obi win the election. The Igbo factor will still make people not vote for Obi in NW and NE.

tempest01:



Go back and read the post I replied to. Your 1, 2,3 reply still does not make any sense. Why should the southerners have the debt of aligning with a northern candidate?

Why does a Kwankwaso who has no footing in the south have more entitlement than Obi who has little footing in the north?

When each other will have to be marketed in the other regions? Why should the South accept Kwankwaso to lead the ticket when the north as you posit will not accept Obi?
