Peter Obi's supporters are cock-a-hoop about what they see as the highest chance of their hero winning Nigeria's presidency next Saturday.

Are their optimism and excitement factually/statistically justified?

Let's do the arithmetic.

PO's strongholds are the SE and the SS, two zones with the least number of votes!. Granted that PO can scavenge some votes in the SW, but it's crystal clear that Tinubu will carry the day in SW eventually.

In the north, the Obidients rely on pockets of votes from northern xtians. But are these enough? Not at all. Since 1999, the northern xtians have never voted along the same line as the Muslim core North. For example they have never voted for Buhari. Yet, in 2014 and 2019 Buhari was able to win signifying the political insignificance of this voting bloc to a candidate that can garner votes in the core north and other parts (Tinubu?). Similarly, PMB was able to win elections without the votes of the SE and SS in both 2014 and 2019, which also trivializes the importance of these two Obi's main strongholds in determining the ultimate presidential winner.

So, for Obi to win the presidential election, he would, as a matter of necessity, need votes from Muslim voters in the north. But does he look set to get it? The truthful but bitter answer for Obidients to accept is No with a capital N. Problem is, the Obidients want to market Obi in the day as a pan-Nigerian candidate but brandish the news of Obi's endorsement by popular pastors/Churches whose altars Obi has turned to campaign platforms. This, rightly so, confuses the average northern Muslim voter and makes them pause to ask some legitimate questions[ Imagine Buhari going to the mosques to campaigns in 2014 or even 2019, what with the reaction be like from voters in say the SE?)

Not even the votes in Plateau and Benue, two states Obidients have also placed high, convoluted hope on can do anything to offset the bloc northern muslim votes. Here, the Obidients will conveniently bring up the issue of Kwankwaso who, as they argue passionately, will magically divide these votes for them to conquer and win the race. In making this highfalutin assumptions, the Obidients forget two crucial facts: 1) the muslim northern voters are never known, throughout Nigeria's political history, to cultivate the habit of wasting their votes. The average northern voter might not have gone to school but they're the most sophisticated; 2) Despite pulling some intimidating crowds in a couple of states esp in the nroth, the truth is Kano is Kwankwaso's main sphere of influence. Even there, I can't bet a penny that he'll win a simple majority for reasons adumbrated above.

Now, my only concern is what the reaction of the Obidients will be when the bubble of their alternative reality finally bursts. I hope they'll peacefully pick up the pieces, lick their wounds, move on and say "better luck next time".

Personally, I do not see any credible candidate worthy of my votes among the current pack of wolfs, but I know for sure that this 2023 election is a contest between Tinubu and Atiku. Yet, while I know this for a fact, I also have to admit that the outcome of this contest is highly unpredictable. Tinubu has 22 APC governors behind his back, huge war chest, media control and so on. Atiku has the support of some powerful members of PMB's kitchen cabinet, considerable war chest, and some current public angst to latch onto.

If you press me hard to rate the chances of the major contenders, I'll come up with something like these:
1. Tinubu 35%
2. Atiku 34
3. Obi 20%
4. Kwankwaso 9%

May God choose the best candidate for us.

I don't know where you got this from. Peter Obi is the clear favourite right now. He has the momentum to win.

The polls say he has the best chance. We are just scared of believing he does because we know how Nigeria is.

That's why everyone talks about structures which is just code word for vote-buying, vote-suppression and vote-rigging. But the will of the people will overcome all that <3

TINUBU will never be President of Nigeria

This one is just delusional. Buhari won the hearts and minds of people in 2015 because he was seen as a disciplinarian who would stick to certain moral values.

This alone was one of the main reasons Christians and Muslims in northern Nigeria voted for him . But as it stands , Obi's chances of winning the northern states keeps increasing , especially those in the middle belt that have awaken to the reality that the APC isn't meant for them . And with the new Naira redesign policy , chances of APC using vote-buying will be less than 30%.


For those of you thinking that Tinubu will win the north, that's a dream too good to be true, because just the way people in SW are voting for Tinubu because he's from their region is the same way Atiku and Kwankwaso people will vote . In fact, they won't bypass their brother from the core north to vote for a southern Muslim. So what am I trying to say :

if Obi can get the middle belt , its game over because the northern votes will be divided between Kwankwaso and Atiku . Period

Joevics:

You are stupid for calling Christians xtains.

Haba, you are a religion terrorist

First of all, you're a dishonest person. Secondly, you're ignorant of facts on ground. Thirdly, you're an urchin don't disguising himself.

Lastest records released by INEC shows that all the SW states collected the least percentage of PVC. Without Lagos, SW and SE has roughly same voter population. Now, add the fact that most SE people collected their PVC while SW didn't, then you should know which region will experience the worst voter aparty. Also, SE is more homogeneous than SW, and while Igbos give block votes, SW votes are always split to irrelevance.

SS has far more voters than SW without Lagos. And yes, I keep putting Lagos aside because it's more or less a mini Nigeria with all ethnicities represented.

Buhari won NW and NE in 2011 yet Jonathan defeated him. Have you forgotten that, you North worshipper? That election was even one against one yet Goodluck won. Now compare to 2023 that has 3 major contestants splitting NW and NE votes among themselves while Obi more or less retains the same areas that gave Jonathan victory in 2011!

If you can't see that Tinubu has lost already then it shows you're absolutely ignorant.

Peter Obi is your next president.

Since 1999, the northern xtians have never voted along the same line as the Muslim core North. For example they have never voted for Buhari. Yet, in 2014 and 2019 Buhari was able to win signifying the political insignificance of this voting bloc to a candidate that can garner votes in the core north and other parts (Tinubu?). Similarly, PMB was able to win elections without the votes of the SE and SS in both 2014 and 2019, which also trivializes the importance of these two Obi's main strongholds in determining the ultimate presidential winner.

So, for Obi to win the presidential election, he would, as a matter of necessity, need votes from Muslim voters in the north. But does he look set to get it? The truthful but bitter answer for Obidients to accept is No with a capital N. Problem is, the Obidients want to market Obi in the day as a pan-Nigerian candidate but brandish the news of Obi's endorsement by popular pastors/Churches whose altars Obi has turned to campaign platforms. This, rightly so, confuses the average northern Muslim voter and makes them pause to ask some legitimate questions[ Imagine Buhari going to the mosques to campaigns in 2014 or even 2019, what with the reaction be like from voters in say the SE?)

Not even the votes in Plateau and Benue, two states Obidients have also placed high, convoluted hope on can do anything to offset the bloc northern muslim votes. Here, the Obidients will conveniently bring up the issue of Kwankwaso who, as they argue passionately, will magically divide these votes for them to conquer and win the race. In making this highfalutin assumptions, the Obidients forget two crucial facts: 1) the muslim northern voters are never known, throughout Nigeria's political history, to cultivate the habit of wasting their votes. The average northern voter might not have gone to school but they're the most sophisticated; 2) Despite pulling some intimidating crowds in a couple of states esp in the nroth, the truth is Kano is Kwankwaso's main sphere of influence. Even there, I can't bet a penny that he'll win a simple majority for reasons adumbrated above.

Now, my only concern is what the reaction of the Obidients will be when the bubble of their alternative reality finally bursts. I hope they'll peacefully pick up the pieces, lick their wounds, move on and say "better luck next time".

Personally, I do not see any credible candidate worthy of my votes among the current pack of wolfs, but I know for sure that this 2023 election is a contest between Tinubu and Atiku. Yet, while I know this for a fact, I also have to admit that the outcome of this contest is highly unpredictable. Tinubu has 22 APC governors behind his back, huge war chest, media control and so on. Atiku has the support of some powerful members of PMB's kitchen cabinet, considerable war chest, and some current public angst to latch onto.

If you press me hard to rate the chances of the major contenders, I'll come up with something like these:
1. Tinubu 35%
2. Atiku 34
3. Obi 20%
4. Kwankwaso 9%

May God choose the best candidate for us.

Shebi, the Muslim-Northern votes you talked about will be split among three Muslims candidates? It will only make a difference if the Northern Muslims give a block vote but as long as the votes are split ... Obi is fine

Obi cannot struggle Muslims votes with the Muslims candidates because we all know that unlike the South, religion is a big factor up North

Peter Obi's supporters are cock-a-hoop about what they see as the highest chance of their hero winning Nigeria's presidency next Saturday.

Are their optimism and excitement factually/statistically justified?

Let's do the arithmetic.

Your analysis is very much on point, keep it up!

ClearFlair:
I don't know where you got this from. Peter Obi is the clear favourite right now. He has the momentum to win.

This one should be 12 years or below
