What do you think? Five Governors known as G5 led by Governor Wike worked against Atiku.

They demanded the resignation of Ayu but Atiku refused to yield to their demand.

Losing the followershio of just one Governor could affect your chances of winning talk more of five Governor.

I personally was of the opinion that he should have yielded to their demand but many thought otherwise.

Now, he kept Ayu and lost the presidency.

Was it a wise decision. Could he have won if he had yielded to their demands.

This is certainly a bitter lesson for the future.

What is your take on this?

It's the consistency for me. He always carry second.

He looses bcoz peter obi departed from the party. It would have been a great combination if the two work together like they did in 2019

Yes. It's part of his challenge.

Atiku lost because of he has been unstable politically and 2023 was just a peak of him reaping the consequences of his past actions.

You were in PDP as a stakeholder and bigwig and only needed to be patient and have a game plan.

You left the party in 2015 and worked against the incumbent leading to the party's defeat. Then you returned a few months later to hijack the presidential candidate position not minding that there were people who stood to rebuild the party when you left.


After winning the 2023 party presidential primary, it was time to bring the party together and yield to some interests within the party so that they will work for you. But what did he do? He became arrogant and think he can win the election by sidelining important people in the party.

Both Atiku and the G-5 governors all lost in this fight to finish.

Atiku lost the last chance to become Nigeria's president.

Wike became a hypocrite and a dog who would later return to his vomit. After declaring Rivers state a Christian state, you turn around to work for a muslim muslim ticket. Talk about cut your nose to spite your face.
Now its time to start the journey of his political decline.

As for Ortom, He lost his senatorial ambition and his preferred candidate in the governorship election has a high probability of losing the election. His political irrelevance just begun.

Without bribes or financial inducement, Atiku can never achieve anything politically. Everything about him is founded on money. Because the level of financial inducement in this election was very low , Atiku couldn't achieve much. The 5 governors had nothing to do about it, even some of them that contested for senatorial seats lost.

Atiku lost due a whole lot of things
He lost because of kwankwaso's electoral base in the north
He lost because of the instability in the pdp which lead to splitting of it's electoral base to the labour party

He lost because of the G5 governors increasing the number of swing states to 10 numbers

He lost because he was backing the cash swap policy which was hurting the people and publicly made a declaration (it was a horrible.he made the APC governors look like saints)

Atiku did not amass new voter base neither in the north not anywhere else so when low voter turnout occured it meant his votes were drastically reduced

I could remember what happened during the 2019 PDP Vs APC

Don't you think the result would have been different if he had met the demands of the G5 Governors?

I didn't think so.Nothing will have changed with the results of Enugu nor Abia.

Only 400k people voted in Rivers so the margin is not so much, Tinubu was always going to win Oyo with or without Makinde

Ken4Christ:

If he had met the G5 governors then 5 states would have swung to the PDP and that would have narrowed the margin or forced at least a rerun.
Certainty of a win would require a coalition with kwankwaso.if that had happened.
Then the importance of encouraging people to come out enmass to vote(very important).low turnout is very risky
It would tilt the win in favour of atiku irrespective of obis votes

Also the real takeoff of this election is inability of parties to enmass voters to come out.
A low turnout is risky for parties
You don't know who did not turn out to vote until the results are announced.
While the APC had reduced voter turnout it was not affected by strife or vote splitting.it was able to Garner support votes because of its anti cash swap court case by 9 governors and it's presidential candidate
Unfortunately the opposition with the same reduced voter turnout were involved in all sorts of voter splitting therefore spreading the votes amongst three parties.
That is why the margin betwyapc and the rest was high

PDP lost because they refused to reward reward the loyalty of south east ...that's it nothing more nothing less ...Igbo have always been the glue that held PDP together ...

Not zoning the presidency to south east was an insult not even giving vice president to south east was insult taken too far

If PDP had gotten votes from South east upon all this they or even any political party would never respect south east ...now they have seen what we can bring to the table

Let the reconciliation start ...

ANY ALLIANCE THAT WONT PRODUCE PETER OBI AS CANDIDATE WOULD FAIL TOO

He's secondly consistent OR consistently second.

Many things that killed PDP's chances, but few points are highlighted below;

1. The flagbearer & the National Chairman are from North.
• Flagbearer - North-East.
• Chairman - North-Central.

2. Wike & the G5 faction.

3. A weak VP aspirant.

4. A serial loser that wants to sell Nigeria bought them (Tambuwal, Saraki, Dino etc), and they gave him the ticket.

5. Atiku's pride.

6. Kwankwaso, Shettima divided his votes in the North.

7. APC Tribunal concerning Osun State election was just a mere distraction.

Etc
