gidgiddy:
To be fair to Atku, he said he was rigged out

The courts will later decide if it is true

OGHENAOGIE:
he did if LP didn't happen APC could have lost esp with pmb introducing that useless naira policy... again PDP is still strong and can defeat APC come 2027 if they regroup well...

garfield1:


True

Ttalk:


I never for once trust that Yobe governor, the sudden loyalty to Tinubu after the primary didn't convince me, just like APC party chairman could not deliver Nasarawa

fergie001:
It will be tough but one consensus rn is that you can't interview 5 people and you even hear 1 say PDP or APC.

duro4chang:
Everyone who loses says that even Donald Trumps

OGHENAOGIE:
u guys are joking where ll LP pass to make in roads to NW NE... Even in NC it's just a figment...in SS PDP is still strong the guber State assembly polls ll show u guys that LP is still a minority party... It ll just be like APGA that's popular in Igboland finish... PDP APC remains the foremost national party

Zincfingers:

The LP's success was because of Tinubu's MM ticket. It unified the majority Christians behind Obi.
The whole LP was orchestrated in Tinubu's bedroom in Bourdilon.
Tinubu would consolidate his grip on Nigeria as soon as he's sworn in.
First thing he'd do is to dismantle LP he created . Go figure!

OGHENAOGIE:
kwankwanso is a solid dude pragmatic unlike Obi that's overhyped.. and ran a divisive ethno religious campaign...

garfield1:


It will not be tough.it was clear right from time.I clearly told you that obi will sweep the se.I remember telling you that ikpeazu and ikuku will lose while ouk will win.apc and pdp will drag bottom place.Otti will come first,then ypp or apga will follow.

garfield1:


The loss of yobe was surprising and then kaduna also.I wonder if the govs sabotaged tinubu

OGHENAOGIE:
u guys don't understand Politics anyway first tinubu govt has to get a good rating ist then if PDP regroup well withe obi kwankwanso back to d fold it ll won't be easy... Tinubu is no buhari that has block votes waiting somewhere...

stuffs2002:


Na wa for IPOB... How can you even convince yourself that El-Rufai sabotaged Tinubu in Kaduna

fr3do:



It is delusional to say Obi is overhyped or divisive

I dare any other politician to run using a party like LP
Obi is the most unifying candidate, he campaigned everywhere

fr3do:


Smell the coffee

The PDP has gone into oblivion, LP is the new opposition

PDP got zero in my polling unit, their fulani Muslim ticket after 8 years of Buhari a fulani Muslim was distasteful and miscalculated

Ttalk:


Not with Tinubu as the captain of APC ship. Forget it, Tinubu will deliver, he will mend fences and cement relationship with the South, the North will be comfortable and would be eager to take the mantle after the second tenure, so they will all cooperate

Svoboda:


El rufai isnt reliable o. He is one big opportunist whose loyalties lie in his ego. Would you have imagined that el rufai was brought into the scene by atiku pre 2003, yet he came out on tv in 2007 to call atiku a thief? How do you rate such a character?

gidgiddy:


Same as everyone who wins says the elections were ok

JASONjnr:



We can never get our forecast correct anytime soon because elections in Nigeria is always all about the biggest rigger .....


Tinubu had himself rigged in....

If the election wasn't rigged.,. Your predictions were fallaciously flawed and unsound....

kingthreat:


You can only rig in your strongholds and government support.
Why didn't APC get 200k votes in Anambra?

AMINDA:


Do you know what it takes for a northern politician to openly defy Buhari and the arewa mafia in the open like El'Rufai did? It is on record that El'Rufai was one of the first to defy and disagree with the cash policy and propaganda ran wide in the north that it was because governors had stashed cash for the elections. This affected El'Rufai and the APC in Kaduna coupled with some reforms he had carried out like reduction in civil service size, demolition and rebuilding of all markets which didn't sit well with traders, increase in tertiary education fees, etc.

At great personal cost, El'Rufai was also the first to draw attention of the nation to the ulterior motive of the cabal to scuttle the election. There were bound to be consequences and this was what was seen in the outcome of the election. The naira policy also greatly affected the APC and it was a miracle they could pull through.

It is disingenuous to accuse El'Rufai of selling out when it is a known fact that he was a figurehead of those insisting that power returns to the south. The election was a hard fought one, even Tinubu lost Lagos. Does it imply that Lagos APC sold out? If Tinubu couldn't win his base convincingly, why accuse El'Rufai of sabotage when a Northerner in the mold of Atiku was also in the race?

Atiku didn't bring El'Rufai to limelight. El'Rufai worked in the transition committee of Abdulsalam Abubakar before the 1999 election and he was introduced to Obasanjo who appointed him head of BPE and thereafter introduced him to Atiku who was Chairman of the privatization council by virtue of being the Vice President.

Zandena:
The major thing that worked against Atiku was the Islamic scholars from north. They viewed Atiku as anti- Islamists politician who ever said and i quote: "God doesn't answer the prayers of the masses ". This has set him against most frontline clerics of northern extraction such as late Sheikh ja'afar, Sheikh Al-Baniy Zaria and their living students who now constitute major influential scholars.
They also bear grudges against Atiku on the assassination of Sheikh Ja'afar and Sheikh Al-Baniy as former was killed when Atiku was VP while Al-Baniy was killed during PDP administration. This is giving the scholars an impression that PDP and Atiku are not their favourite

Both Emenike and Mascot are not in the Governorship equation of Abia State. The two of them are jokers
