El-Rufai just ported to the Social Democratic Party (SDP) after consultattions with the immediate past president, Buhari, former vice president Atiku Abubakar of PDP, and Tinubu's one time right-hand-man and former governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola.

Up North now, there is Buhari who is in APC but not in APC (he clearly didn't want Tinubu for president except for the "emilokan" outburst), Kwankwaso of NNPP and the Kwankwasiya Movement, now El-Rufai of SDP, then finally Atiku of PDP. All formidable splinters of the opposition.

In the South, we have current president Tinubu of APC, Peter Obi of Labour Party (LP), and Omoyele Sowore of African Action Congress (AAC). The strongest of these three politically and at the same time the least liked is Tinubu. Peter Obi has the more popularity over Sowore and the most acceptance across the national strata of the three.

Tinubu, though the president, has become even less marketable due to untold economic hardships and hunger brought on the Nigerian masses by his leadership policies -- such as has never been experienced before in the history of the country. Both up North and down South, the general sentiment about him is of regret. The average man won't want to vote him again even with pay (though I won't be too surprised, this is Nigeria where the people are too quick to forget).

Enter Peter Obi

Sowore, despite being the best of the three, if integrity and consistency are yardsticks, still lacks the political reach and structure to realistically emerge victorious. His day will come and I await eagerly for it like the dawning of a new age. And with him out, we're left with Peter Obi and his Obidient movement.

Agreed, the current president, who is a Southerner, is a disaster, nevertheless, it is still the turn of the South. The North was allowed to complete their 8 years in Buhari. The South must also do the same, though not in Tinubu as no one can bear to have him anymore. His ousting for someone from the same region to take over is not only an answer to the heaves and sighs of the suffering and impoverished people of Nigeria, it also serves the political interests of many that he has had a falling out with (and he has no shortage of those, literally the entire North, South and every honest Nigerian).

To honour the region-by-region power-sharing arrangement, the North is most likely going to align with Peter Obi to wrest the throne from Tinubu and APC with hope that he (Obi) would agree to only do the single remaining turn of the South and then let power revert to them in the North. El-Rufai will fight tooth and nail to see this happen much like Rotimi Amaechi did to remove Jonathan and usher in APC and Buhari. It has begun.

Confirmation
Bashir El-Rufai has confirmed my permutations. I made a post about it in the link below (with pictures) where he called himself an Obidient and Peter Obi a great leader.

I don't need to read your thrash but the reality u Igbos fail to realize is that north is not that patient to stay out of power for 12 years cos any southerner that becomes president will use 8 years plus tinubu 4 years.

So do the maths, n beside u think the north will give power to an Igbo especially someone forming Saint n who fails to condemn ipob

Just Dey play

Wishful thinking

This other commenter has already tagged the poster as Igbo. To all the agbado miscreants, anybody that points out the wrongs of this government is Igbo.

The poster thinks that Sowore is among the leading contenders. He even thinks that he is the best among them. I dey laff

The thing tire me.........

IPOBs and delusion! Tinubu will use the remaining 4 years and return it back to shettima! After 8 years then to south south! Anything different from this is DELUSION!!

Permutations everywhere, just because el Rufai ported to another party. Everyone go de alright las las.

This can as well be through Ooh 🤣.

How can Sowore be politically better than Obi...how on earth can such be?

I just dey laugh...

Delusions of grandeur

So the North will leave Tinubu or Atiku and support Obi? Continue deceiving yourself.

I think El Rufai will be a good VP to Sowore

El Rufai will give him the push for the youth and in 2031 he will take over. Sowore can learn from JD Vance and Trump

Sowore is a better person and does mean well for the nation more than the rest career politicians. However, being a good person isn't equal to being a good leader. Although the fact that he has not joined the corrupt establishment is a point of encouragement.

I'll take Sowore over Peter Obi but at the moment, the wheels aren't just set yet for him to win. But if he continues trying and doesn't give up, that day will come. The difference between Obi and Sowore is that while Obi can bring change, Sowore will usher in a revolution, being more of an activist than a politician.

The North has no problem with him not condemning IPOB. They have something worst than that in their backyard.

A religious fanatic working with another ethno-religious bigot cum religious war merchant will be very interesting to watch..

At this point, El-Rufai is ready to make any coalition as long as BAT is shown the way out of office. It is in every way very personal to him.

Deep down this urchiin know Sowore is nothing but a small house fly compared to Obi

Why did you say so? Anyway, don't tell. It's your opinion and you're entitled to it.

I guess he told u that right?

Well, I wish it was so, but e no go happen.
All the insults hausas have been chopping from Igbos, they rather burn themselves than vote for Obi.

Igbos and delusion. Never seen a group so ready to willingly deceive themselves and still be happy with their own self deception.

I think he tagged him igbo because only igbos are capable of such great wishful thinking and self delusion as displayed by the op.

Keeping being sentimental and tribalistic. It's okay. Even if the rain doesn't touch you, it'll surely touch one of your family members. We all shop at the same markets. And the election you speak of wasn't won by Tinubu.

I think I'm still with an evil u know than the one I don't. So Tinubu instead of El-Rufai. However, whatever you guys have seen this first term will be nothing compared to what's coming on his second coming. There's no more reason to play nice then.
