Atiku only won in the North East, he lost popular votes in the North West. Tinubu defeated him in the entire north, in fact it was the North that made Tinubu President
What do you mean by losing popular votes in NW?

Oga, Tinubu only won 3 states in core north, 2 in NW and 1 in NE. The governors and other APC politicians only helped him to reduce the margin.
Re: North Does Not Have Voting Power, It Is A mere exaggeration by Bendeco02:
The mistake you guys are making is that you failed to point out who can win SS & SE.

The election may be only two major candidate race, if Atiku and Obi reach agreement.

If SS, SE, NW, NE refuse to allow their votes to be rigged and give it to a single candidate, then the person will win.

2027 will be bloody. Tinubu may cause a big crisis if he attempt to rig. No candidate will ever go to court again because they have learnt their lesson, all the fight will end on election period and decleration of the winner.

All men will play dirty this time. Those of you seeing peter Obi as soft man will see his real color by 2027.

In reality, Northern Nigeria is just two; North East and North West. North Central or the middle belt in most cases aligned with the south.

Most of the North Central States either voted for Peter Obi or Tinubu in the last election.


North East and North West alone can not achieve outright victory for a candidate without the support of other regions.

God willing, Tinubu stands a good chance of re-election.

As election approaches, he will make naira to add value and petrol prices would have fallen and that would pull more supporters for him.
Too early though all I know is that power will remain in the south west.

This is the kind of statement that make other regions that supported tinubu look like mumu.

All you care is about the tribe ruling not the individual yet you claim to be Nigeria lover.

The biggest enermy tinubu has now is his supporters. Their online bragging and arrogance is doing a nice work for Obi and Atiku

Other tribes have understood you now.

He is right

They only alligned together in 2015 that was because of the change slogan.

PDP dominated for 16 years with South and Middle belt and they always vote for Southern candidates whenever the major candidates are North Vs South.

They don't feel safe being with Core North

If not for President Tinubu that rallied support for Buhari in South West, GEJ would have defeated him fair and square. GEJ would have done second term and maybe hand over to an Igbo person and there is nothing North will do about it.

I'm also rooting for a Middle Belt person (preferrably Christian) to be the next President come 2031.. afterall they are also part of their Arewa forum.
Lmao and you think other southerners can't do the same? Lmaooo



Firstly you Yorubas killed southern unity in 2015 n 2023

Fight your battle alone stop involving South

this is far from the truth it was the core North that voted for tinubu nc hate tinubu with passion because he mobilises his presidential ambition on Muslim Muslim ticket.

Re: North Does Not Have Voting Power, It Is A mere exaggeration by okven: 8:51am On Jan 04, 2025
Tinibu is likely going to clitch back to the presidency based on election boycott likely to be experienced in the south, mostly Eastern political zones

Else reflect him might be a journey of many hills,particularly in the north ....

Xisnin:
Your analysis only make sense in a neutral situation e.g Buhari vs GEJ 2011.
In the current climate, economic crisis is already a big minus for Tinubu in every region.

Coupled with the fact that he has no absolute majority support in the South, unlike OBJ and GEJ.

Even if he wins the NC, he must find a way to win over the other southern region or
be lucky that they decide to massively boycott the election.
Unfortunately, he is not making any effective move to get less dislike by the other southern region's public.

Hence, even if he can't win there, he must get substantial votes in NW and NE.

So, his only pathway to victory is to divide the votes among opponents as much as possible
even more so than the 2023 elections.
Tinubu don't care for your vote or anybody. Eyenec and Judith will run it for him.

oga they now realised their mistake from 2011 all they need to do is to cooperate with modest Muslims in the north to fight religious intolerance, they know you will never see them as the same with you southerners,

And what is more culturally, historically, linguistically and even ethnically they have more in common with the core North than you.

There is no region in Nigeria that can give any politician outright victory

Infact, Tinubu was able to win because his votes spread across 31 states except South East. Unlike Atiku that secured vote majorly in the north and Peter Obi majorly in the South

You are welcome to this convention.

Yes

It was a surprise even though he secured third position, that number of votes is not expected. Now combine his votes with that of Tinubu and let's see whether the North East and North West alone and can produce a president in Nigeria.

Third position even after you predicted a distant 5th.
And besides what's the margin between him and the one running on the back of the rulling party? Go figure.

Tinubu does not have bloc votes anywhere not even in Yoruba land.

Nigerian census should be corrected. Land mass does not equate to people.
These tribalistic northern intimidation and cheating is no longer good for Nigeria. Let every zone develop by their efforts and you will see all these parasitic states wake up. If you can't pay salary, merge with another state. Monkey dey work baboon dey chop is against law of nature and principles.
