Soludo is looking like an option further down the line.
But by 2031,if Tinubu wins and completes 2 terms,the North would say it's their turn and a Tinubu would be obliged to put his structures behind a consensus northern candidate.
An Ibo presidency,by that scenario,can only be feasible by 2039!
My only grouse and fear about a Tinubu presidency,as it's likely now,is that he is surrounded and supported by same crooks ,in different spheres,that a system should do without.His mental capacity due to age is also another fear,lest we go back to the same situation now,where a small clique of family members and cronies,rule in his name.
Otherwise, ordinarily I see Tinubu being a better president than Buhari

Those that rode on his back to victory are supposed to be his structure if and only if they will not defect to other parties.

But LP never had party agents in thousands upon thousands of polling units, LP don't have càndidàtes to feature in most states of Nigeria, that's the structure, those càndidàtes are what will influence votes in his favor outside the influence of social media.

obailala:
If not for the activities of thugs and compromised INEC and security officials, why exactly should a party not having agent in all polling stations be a problem? ... In a sane and civilised society, a candidate without 'structure' can win elections as long as they are popular. But in a barbaric society like ours, such a candidate irrespective of how popular he is, still needs to plant agents everywhere to prevent his votes from being tampered with. What a shame!

Whether we like it or not, the structure we talk of, the structure which APC and PDP arrogantly brag about is a structure of criminality.

Hopium:
the nonsense obi did this election where they voted 90-100% for LP in their pu's leaving other parties with nothing is another dent to the SE in national piolitics. how can other regions trust people like that?

You're disturbing yourself.

The north will not vote for an igbo. If him like make him for atomic and molecular structure, him no go win. BTW, by 2027 he will be 65, i'm waiting to see the kind of lie he will tell the gullible youths. If Asiwaju perform excellently (I've faith he will), he's coming for second term. Then Obi's presidential ambition is over.

I'm waiting for Soludo to see the kin of magic he will do with APGA.

An igbo who will successfully align with the south will become president.

LordAdam16:
Tinubu will do his 8 years. A Northerner will do 8 years after. It's anyone's guess who'll be the frontrunner in 2039. But the North and West will be more comfortable giving it to the South South than the SE.

Tinubu made a deal with the devil to be President. Buhari is a low bar. Three months of any of the three frontrunners will be better than 8 years of Buhari. I'm not primarily concerned about performance. If Tinubu's deal is to place a barricade around SW and tell his Northern lackeys to do whatever they like in the rest of the country in security matters, what will the Better South do? Does Tinubu sound like the type of politician who would stop supplies from being airlifted to hideouts in Delta or Ebonyi? At least if Okowa is there, it will be that he is sidelined. Shettima will be ringleader.

Lagos and Ogun are the financial and industrial nerve centers of the country. He will perform wonders there; bring Osun, Oyo, and Ekiti into the fray; pat his back and leave after 8 years. Best he will do in the SS/SE is the token infrastructure like a train connection. In the North, he will just dump money into Oil Prospecting and they'll be satisfied.

As for Peter Obi, powerful Igbos are too republican to work together for a common cause. Many of these neophytes that rode to power on Obi's back will backstab him. The most unreliable creature in the universe is an Igbo man with means. By second year, they'll start decamping to APC to secure federal might and for their ambitions in the center. Now that they have LP, APGA, APC, PDP as major power brokers the infighting will get worse not better.

And I don't trust Peter's ability to build a coalition. See this horse-trading that Tinubu has been doing effortlessly is very difficult to replicate. All those we no dey give shi shi might work with the hoi polloi who you'd normally appease with 2K. It would not work with the power brokers in other regions who spend 600K on diesel for one of their properties per month.

Labour party is doing well in the north, and this one is talking nonsense.
Even the north will leave you in your backwardness.

igbo man kee you there.

baralatie:
Those rode me?
Those one go soon port when Dem reach abuja

Hopium:
What north?

North ko. Sahara desert ni.

seborrhic:
This point is without foundation and irrelevant because the north has been doing same.
The SE has NASS members from apga,PDP and APC.
What can you say about states like Borno,Yobe,Katsina,Zamfara that toll similar if not worse ethnic lines.
They believed in obi and have always seen the APC as a party that has victimised and ignored the region and inflicted suffering,hence their almost exclusive voting pattern in this election.
It wasn't always like that.

Sorry, I have forgotten that Benue, taraba, plateau, Abuja, nassaraw, Niger , e.t.c. are now part of southern Nigeria.

If bigotry is your sickness, not everybody share in your disease.

Carry your sickness alone.

Hopium:
Currently,

Benue - APC
Plateau - LP
Abuja -PDP
Niger - APC
Taraba - PDP
Nassarawa - APC
Kogi - APC
Kwara - APC

Go and update your data.

CSTRR:
The transactional politics is exactly where the problem is.
That is the source of the underdevelopment.

Backward transactional politics. They will share it all among themselves.

Labour party is eating good in the senate and HOR.

Peter obi has all the men and women he will need there.

And besides, a lot of charlatans will decamp to labour if he wins, or they risk being swept by the new Nigeria.

CSTRR:
if they port, they would lose re-election in four years time.

Strong party men from pdp and apc are losing their election thanks to the people's anger.

It would be foolish to toe the same line.

Hopium:
You understand the game, but fail to play by the rule. That's fo0lery.

Those LP wey win HoR, HoA will deflect to APC and PDP in the coming months/year. Quote me by end of 2024.

CSTRR:
These are the results from labour party situation room.

Labour party is leading in 17 states.

CSTRR:
There is nothing they have to gain from defecting to pdp and apc.

PDP and apc did not protect the ones that came before them, so how will it protect them from the anger of the people in four years time.?

That is the beauty of this election. Power belongs to the people.

It doesn't make sense for one Fulani to replace another Fulani.

Just imagine the nonsense happening in Rivers state where OBI is extremely popular and where APC is despised. Even the LP party agents were chased away from collation centres by policemen attached to the governor and compromised INEC officials were made not to upload results and in some instances, results werent even counted infront of voters.

In a sane and civilised society, a candidate without 'structure' can win elections as long as they are popular. But in a barbaric society like ours, such a candidate irrespective of how popular he is, still needs to plant agents everywhere to prevent his votes from being tampered with. What a shame!
