Atiku is not Fulani he is chamba by tribe from Ganye LGA Adamawa state

Kwankwaso is Hausa by tribe from Kano.

You guys should quit the Fulani theory and conspiracies
So you are the one to tell Atiku where he came from? Have you heard him come out to say he is not Fulani or deny being addressed as fulani?

You can see how these northerners are united and scheming hard to put in another Fulani man after their own Fulani son is about to finish 8yrs of ruling Nigeria. Meanwhile we still have some foolish southerners throwing their weight behind another northerner to rule us for another 8 years, and tomorrow these same southerners will start wailing and wondering why these Fulanis call them slaves. And funny enough, the very northern candidate they're supporting once insulted these same southerners by saying they are not good enough to become president, and that no northerner should vote for Igbo or Yoruba. Furthermore, you still have middlebelters who have been severely hit by the man's brother herdmens attack still support this same man. I spit on any southerner still supporting a northern candidate to take over from another northerner, especially for a northerner who has openly shown himself to be a religious and tribalistic bigot. Nigeria is too fragile and divided to have this at this point in time. I wonder when the south will get sense.

The North is considered the less educated in the country yet they have continue to teach the South politics 101. This isn't because they studied it, rather because they unanimously project & prioritize the Northern interest over self & greed, a virtue considerably uncommon in the South.
The way una carry Northerners for head like god dey tire me. It's still the same way they view d south, especially d south west.

Travel around the country small, stop carrying this warped mentality of the north everywhere. If to say Na so d North be, Obi suppose to see anybody for rally na

The neophytes don't understand politics. They're short sighted. Kwankwanso is preparing for his future presidential ambition. He'll prefer to step down for a southern candidate than Atiku.
Absolutely! I'm from Kano, Atiku will not win in Kano. Likely 3rd Position
Re: 2023 Presidency: Northern Leaders Optimistic Kwankwaso Will Step Down For Atiku by Madups(m): 9:31am On Jan 30, 2023
Its looking like the demise of a seasoned nigerian politician will over shadow the election results come feb 25.
Victorclean1:
Yes, is expected. Tinubu need to learn a lesson after the north betrayed him.

Agbadorians should have sense and know that without SS/SE, the are not going anywhere.

Is a pity. I pray for Tinubu cos he may not survive the shock.

I told someone on this forum that they were seriously pressuring RMK to step down by the powerful elders and leaders in the north. He said I was lying. Hope the person will see this thread.
The North has realised that a divided core north can't stand a united SE & SS. Tinubu will not like this news at all. He thought the north will scratch his back after scratching theirs. But then, we are seeing a different thing. Am not surprised. Based on stat and previous elections. No southerner has won the core north by 51% since 2003, therefore Tinubus' hope on bloc votes from the north is just a mere pipe dream, But Tinubu will definitely win the NORTHWEST and Atiku the NE. Then again, the Muslim ticket will definitely be problem for Tinubu and a blessing for obi. Obi needs to get 25% from the NE & NE, and get 33% from the NC, 90% from the SS & SE. 45% from the SW. With all these, Obi will win the elections.
obituary cannot get this figures you claim and cannot win the election.. pls go and learn from history how candidates win election.. even Jonathan when he was the president of Nigeria after the death of yaradua cannot win the election instead he rode under the structures of PDP in the core north, had a block votes from south east and south south and bargain with tinubu and with the solid structure of PDP in south west to win the election

Atiku who is banking on betrayal of Tinubu to win.

Those who stayed in PDP to betray Jonathan in 2015, what became of them?

The Southerners are politically naive. Bola Tinubu who is a more formidable politician should step down for Peter Obi. Do you people think at all before saying this?

How will Peter Obi defeat Atiku?

The establishment needs Atiku. Tinubu is their arch-enemy. Obi is an upstarter, because he has not solidified his base.

Who really is more pro-masses between Atiku and Tinubu?
Re: 2023 Presidency: Northern Leaders Optimistic Kwankwaso Will Step Down For Atiku by Britishpea: 9:52am On Jan 30, 2023
Tinubu will win. Atiku winning will destroy Nigeria. It doesn’t work that way. There are northerners who understand this and won’t risk it. Fulani won’t rule us for 16 years. Not possible.

Obviously you are living in yesterday and haven’t gotten the new memo.

If OBI should step down for tinibu…tinibu still win not win an atiku.
That’s a fact, take it to any bank.
But if it’s the other way round, trust me OBI will floor atiku at the polls.
As it stands, the structureless Obi has votes in every corner of Nigeria. I cannot tell you same about atiku

I’m an Edo man and it’s a pdp state but I can guarantee you atiku will not get up to 150k votes in Feb from Edo. ( pls bookmark this)

SW/SE rivalry and mutual disrespect and hatred will continue to keep giving north edge in politics. The whole south was supposed to unite behind SE to produce the president

Re: 2023 Presidency: Northern Leaders Optimistic Kwankwaso Will Step Down For Atiku by pacesetting: 10:11am On Jan 30, 2023
Tinubu is not sound. The northerners are seeing it, and that's why they are running to Atiku. Traditionally, they would have been in a critical position if Tinubu was sound. But his health has given them a genuine reason. Tinubu's greed is the reason why Atiku will emerge, because Obi actually dismantled Atiku's PDP stronghold in SS and SE.

Remember that Tinubu chose Shetima because he is banking on Northern votes. But as it stands, that strategy is heavily flawed because even the northerners are not aligning with him. That's why he has been screaming betrayal recently.

Wike would have worked for Obi in PDP to get the ticket but he was all over the place then abusing Obi and SE prior to PDP primaries. AA even promised not to contest if they zoned it to SE but Wike rejected. Nobody should blame Tinubu at all

It's either he steps down or he directs his voters to vote Atiku. Atiku is winning this election courtesy of southern disunity

I know Adamawa very well I know Atiku background I graduated from his school in Yola. Atiku is not Fulani majority of Adamawa people are not Fulani they just adopted fulfulde as their second language. Just like most northerners adopted Hausa

The bolded is exactly where the problems is, the question of who is supposed to do what. Even among the easterners lies who are supposed to do what. Hence those who easily give grounds for collective good of their own region will keep having their way.

That will be disastrous for APC and LP. It is really an option awaits the February 25th, 2023 general election. Northern politics is grossly sentimental more than Southern own.

Pressure should as well be mounted on Tinubu to step down for Peter Obi.

Peter Obi is miles ahead

Tinubu should not cost the southern Nigeria an opportunity to get to president like he did in 2015
Tinubu can not step down for Obi, don't go there, even if he steps down his men will not vote omo Ibo. If you know you know, politics is a hustle and industry in Nigeria, it's not avenue to serve the people
Re: 2023 Presidency: Northern Leaders Optimistic Kwankwaso Will Step Down For Atiku by pacesetting: 10:18am On Jan 30, 2023
That's another good point. The Southern politicians in PDP are useless. Wike practically threw Obi out of the way by making it very difficult for him. Now he is there shouting equity. At least, Tinubu fought for the Southern ticket and got it. But ever since, he has been making serious political blunders, from his Mu-Mu ticket to his outbursts and utterances on campaign grounds.

I have known this a long time ago. Politicians in the North are collecting Tinubu's money while seriously campaigning for Atiku. The Jonathan treatment awaits Tinubu. They just want him to offload his Lagos loot. Even Tinubu himself is realizing that and decides to starve some of the Northerners in his PCC of funds. Those starved of funds are resigning and pitching tent with Atiku. Northerners are too politically smart to follow somebody like Tinubu. Make he Just dey play.
How does tribalism and tribal politics of the north constitutes smartness?? Nigeria will remain backward and underdeveloped as far as the north continue voting based on ethnicity and religion.

Obi will not win the elections, Atiku will win NW,NE,NC. Obi will win SE, SS slightly, get much votes in NC. Anywhere any candidate wins,Atiku will surely come second. Tinubu will win SW, with AA and Obi trailing him. Obi will come 2nd in Lagos. Atiku may even win Bayelsa, Osun, Cross Rivers,Akwa Ibom, Delta states. Atiku will win the general election based on the metrics available
