sleek214:you have a point but if Atiku/Soludo run, I hope Obi will not run in another party or his present party like he did in 2023? Because he will reduce Atiku votes to win tinubu |

MichaelSokoto:But you agree that Obi can't win if he's the flag bearer? Atiku, Elrufai and kwankwaso will never agree to be his running mate. Which candidate up north can defeat Tinubu in the North apart from these 3? |
| Re: Atiku Should Allow Credible Candidate From South As Coalition Candidate - Shehu by NigeriaIsGreat: 2:11pm On Apr 18, 2025 |
DIVINEEVIDENCE:The main point is which strong northern candidate will agree to be Obi running mate not datti wey no get level |
| Re: Atiku Should Allow Credible Candidate From South As Coalition Candidate - Shehu by NigeriaIsGreat: 2:14pm On Apr 18, 2025 |
DoctorShomo:exactly what I'm saying. Not even labour party but Obi himself and his running mate are not known up north. Left to me, if Atiku can come up to pack northern votes while Obi become his running mate to pack South East, South South and some South West votes then it's a win. Northern won't vote for Obi if he's the flag bearer |

sleek214:I think Obi is better to deputise Atiku. |

tnerro1:I heard Jonathan can contest again according to the constitution |
| Re: Atiku Should Allow Credible Candidate From South As Coalition Candidate - Shehu by NigeriaIsGreat: 2:19pm On Apr 18, 2025 |
lailo:Tinubu beat him because of Obi factor. If Obi hadn't contested or chose to be Atiku running mate then Atiku will win |

NigeriaIsGreat:Kwankwaso messed up big time, only realising himself when it has become late. Unfortunately, he's no longer as relevant as he previously was. Governor Zulum of Borno is a man whose achievements speak for itself, even though I don't like him. If Atiku will agree to be Obi's running mate (which will look awkward but nonetheless, overturn the APC), then Zulum will make sense. Atiku and Obi would pull block votes, but none of them can singlehandedly defeat Tinubu. |

We don't need your opinion sir, continue receiving your stipends in peace. We are fine with Atiku/Obi |
| Re: Atiku Should Allow Credible Candidate From South As Coalition Candidate - Shehu by NigeriaIsGreat: 2:42pm On Apr 18, 2025 |
DIVINEEVIDENCE:Atiku can't deputise Obi. Left to me, Atiku should run while Obi deputise him |

surgical:But he was eligible to contest in 2015 which he lost. What has changed since then that I didn't know about? |
| Re: Atiku Should Allow Credible Candidate From South As Coalition Candidate - Shehu by lailo: 3:03pm On Apr 18, 2025 |
NigeriaIsGreat:Atiku as a presidential candidate now that South is yet to complete her turn is another factor to fail. His brothers will prefer South or Tinubu completes his 8 years than gamble with Atiku. One factor or the other will always make him fail. |
| Re: Atiku Should Allow Credible Candidate From South As Coalition Candidate - Shehu by NigeriaIsGreat: 3:07pm On Apr 18, 2025 |
lailo:you're right. I think Atiku should deputise Obi so that Obi can get substantial votes in the north. |

This one dey find who Tinubu go easily defeat. Make coalition use southern candidate against Tinubu. The North has no incentive to go and start another 8 years wait with another southern candidate(which could cause power not going to the north till 2035), they will instead endure 4 more years of Tinubu and get power back in 20231. I hope PDP and coalition will not play into the hands of those setting traps and advising them to use a southerner in 2027. |
| Re: Atiku Should Allow Credible Candidate From South As Coalition Candidate - Shehu by tunapawizzy: 3:43pm On Apr 18, 2025 |
lailo:His brother did not fail him in 2023, even after 8 years of Buhari another northerner, despite the fact buhari and majority of northern governors being against him in 2023. Is it now that a southerner has done 4 years that his brothers will now prefer south? Don't forget Atiku had majority of his almost 7million votes from the north in 2023. If Atiku gets the ticket(which is most likely) he will do better in the north than he did in 2027. APC people know this and that's why they are doing all they can to put themselves in a position where they can write south south votes in Tinubus favour (rivers, edo, cross river all within reach for APC now, even akwa ibom governor dun endorse tinubu, he may decamp to APC very soon). The only thing that will stop Tinubu is Atiku/Obi ticket(and Tinubu will try to frustrate that ticket from happening) |
| Re: Atiku Should Allow Credible Candidate From South As Coalition Candidate - Shehu by NigeriaIsGreat: 3:56pm On Apr 18, 2025 |
tunapawizzy:you have a point. Atiku will get Northern votes while Obi will get Southern votes. What about the South South issues as you raised? Tinubu wants to keep South South to his pocket which will be a plus. Another question is that the Northerners turn is till 2031. Will they want to vote for Atiku knowing fully well that it will affect their turn? |

NigeriaIsGreat:The north does not have anything to fear once they are in power, they have the numbers. They also have one big advantage-THE SOUTH WILL NEVER SPEAK WITH ONE VOICE(especially south west and south east), so there will always a southern Crack that the north can exploit. It's almost looking like Tinubu will win 4 SS states(rivers, edo, cross river, akwa ibom) - at least by what INEC will declare. It also looks to me like whatever he will lose in the north, he can make up for it in the south south. It may turn out to be an interesting election |
| Re: Atiku Should Allow Credible Candidate From South As Coalition Candidate - Shehu by malali: 7:23pm On Apr 18, 2025 |
NigeriaIsGreat:Tinubu is in bed with all the northerners that would support Atiku. He is paying party loyals and also oppositions a massive amount of money. Appointments and all. |

ScamDemicEra:I never said it would be easy. I will bet 1 million dollars, no one will beat Tinubu as Incumbent. |
| Re: Atiku Should Allow Credible Candidate From South As Coalition Candidate - Shehu by malali: 7:26pm On Apr 18, 2025 |
Cmanforall:True, but now he has name recognition all over Nigeria. He can be a sellable candidate. GEJ will still beat OBI anyday. He has more votes even when he lost to Buhari. |
| Re: Atiku Should Allow Credible Candidate From South As Coalition Candidate - Shehu by DIVINEEVIDENCE: 8:27pm On Apr 18, 2025 |
NigeriaIsGreat:After Buhari's eight years, it will only be fair to let the South have their full eight years. Atiku should support a Southern president either by deputising or stepping down for him. I also think Prof. Osinbajo will give Tinubu a run for his money if he has the proper support. Atiku should support either Jonathan, Obi or Osinbajo. If he decides to run, the opposition is weakened and Tinubu will still coast to victory. By 2031, fresh faces must have emerged and if he is nowhere near the corridors of power then, either as a kingmaker or ruling party figure, he should count his losses and retire as the serial egomaniacal loser that he is. |

Goodluck Jonathan is the best choice. |

numericalguy:I dont smoke anything. The times are different, Tinubu did it with the support of the whole North. If tinubu and GEJ stand in a free and fair election......today ! GEJ can beat Tinubu.... |
| Re: Atiku Should Allow Credible Candidate From South As Coalition Candidate - Shehu by numericalguy(m): 11:56pm On Apr 18, 2025 |
malali:Of course times are very very different. Tinubu was an ordinary person when he kicked out GEJ a sitting president, how exactly do you expect GEJ to remove Tinubu who is now a sitting president. You may hate Tinubu all you want but always apply logic in politics because Logic and not emotions win in politics |
| Re: Atiku Should Allow Credible Candidate From South As Coalition Candidate - Shehu by malali: 1:38am On Apr 19, 2025 |
numericalguy: I dont hate anyone, just commenting......LOL Lets try to stop taking things personal......If i want Tinubu out its because his policies arent working I dont hate him, i dont really care about him. If his policies were working, i would want him to stay. That also doesn't mean i like him. Can you grasp that concept ? |
