Atiku's greed is his problem, Tinubu wouldn't have won 2023 election if Atiku had compromised a little

With both Delta and Rivers going to APC, it's obvious the SS is conquered, especially Rivers state cos whoever protected Fubara from Wike will win Rivers state, even if that person is Vladimir Putin.
So Atiku should delete his dreams so favour ur own candidate? How selfish and dumb. Atiku doesn't owe Obi any favors . Why cant Obi shelve his own Ambition for Atiku?

you are the one committing blunders here. you said 'many northern christians will consider Tinubu as best choice grin grin grin the same Tinubu that did Muslim-Muslim ticket without considering northern christians? the same Tinubu that doesnt care when northern christians are killed in Benue and Plateau? You need to wake up from your deep sleep
Mccullum:
The writer is committing some blunders, there's nothing like North versus South. If core Northern Muslims against Tinubu in 2027.

Many Northern Christian voters will consider Tinubu as their best choice. the North Central is another joker for the President. He'll still get some percentage of votes from core North.

No election can go in direction of North vs South in Nigeria presidential election.

Story.


Buhari made Tinubu President through his indifferent and Idoncare attitude which made Tinubu to hijack INEC for the rigging nonsense they did by switching off the iREV portal and polling unit result upload.


Rigging in Presidential election have limit if the people don't want you.


If he likes let him use EFCC to intimidate all the corrupt Governors to decamp to APC, that will never stop him from being defeated in 2027.


The only thing that will make Tinubu win easily is if the so called coalition of opposition fail or if they end up presenting Atiku Abubakar as their consensus Presidential candidate for 2027.



But if the North are serious to stop Bola Tinubu from winning a reelection in 2027, they should swallow their pride and make a sacrifice by announcing Peter Obi as their preferred consensus Presidential candidate for 2027 election. Once the North do this, it is finished for Tinubu and he knows this. They can have a solid agreement with Obi to do only single tenure.


Only a Peter Obi candidacy backed by Northern Nigerians can defeat Tinubu in 2027 irrespective of rigging. Anything less will be a walk over for Tinubu.

This is another great option but the problem is the Obidient movement which is a collection of young Nigerians from all tribe and even religion might not be happy if Peter Obi deputize Atiku, they will lose majority of Obidient people support/vote.


But if Obi can convince Obidients and young Igbos, and Atiku is able to rally his Northern brothers to queue behind him, then they will also defeat Tinubu with all his rigging plans
At this point, Obedients have to stop to conquer. If Obi polled ahead Atiku in the rigged INEC results I would not agree for him to deputize.

Absolute nonsense to calculate that the North central will vote Fulani/hausa against Tinubu even with the MM ticket. The next election will probably be won by a bigger margin than the previous 2023 elections. Atiku will never get the PDP ticket, that’s a forlorn conclusion.
The PDP man you met in London also needs a mental health check up to think Atiku has any chance of the PDP ticket after what happened in the last election.
Re: 2027 Presidency: A North Vs South Contest? by nairavsdollars(f): 11:36am On Apr 26, 2025
PDP ticket has always been won by a sitting president or moneybag. Atiku has the money that was why he hijacked the ticket in 2019 and 2023. Except the governors are united and present a formidable candidate, Atiku will get it again. Can Seyi Makinde match Atiku in anyway?

There are strange bedfellows in Nigerian politics. It’s too early to count Peter Obi and El Rufai out. Both are strategists. Atiku and Tinubu are not in denial of the fact. I think Peter Obi is seriously thinking about giving it another try with Atiku despite strong overtures he’s getting from El Rufai. Obi and his Obedient camp may move to PDP because of the toxic politics in LP and force Atiku to make a deal for one term.

Ok Atiku is 80. So what? How old is Trump. That’s what his camp is thinking 🤔

How can you deny ebilokan after using your SE tribalism to help him into Aso Rock with 100% votes in the five states, despite Soludo’s warning?

jameshankss:
Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has said he is sure the candidate of Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, would lose the 2023 presidential election. Soludo said he would not submit to the bullying of Obi’s supporters, who recently descended on him for addressing issues in the state.

The governor made the comments in a lengthy write-up personally authored, with the title, “History Beckons, and I Will Not Be Silent (Part 1).”

Soludo said Obi was inadvertently making the pathway to victory much easier for the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, and at the same time, toying with the destiny of millions of Ndigbo.

But the chief spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign, Yunusa Tanko, accused Soludo of being sponsored by some unknown persons to weaken the base of the party in the South-east.

The former CBN governor had been under intense attack for close to a week for dismissing Obi’s investment in the state as amounting to nothing, during a television interview.

Soludo said in the write-up, “My attention has been drawn to some of the tirades on social media following my frank response during an interview on Channels TV regarding the ‘investments’ Mr. Peter Obi claimed to have made with Anambra State revenues.

“Sadly, several of the comments left the issue of the interview to probe or suggest motives, inferred from my response on ‘investment’ that I am opposed to Peter Obi’s ambition and, therefore, committed a ‘crime’ for which the punishment is internecine abuse and harassment, even to my family.

“Everyone knows that I don’t follow the winds or one to succumb to bullies, or shy away from a good fight especially, when weighty matters of principles and future of the people are involved.”

Soludo said he had urged Obi to return to his former party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), to actualise his presidential bid. He added that he had always told the LP candidate to his face that he was not capable of winning the 2023 presidential election, especially, under LP, which had neither a councillor nor a local government chairman.

Soludo said Obi was not just his friend, but also his brother, but despite that, they have their political differences.

He stated, “For full disclosure, let me state that Peter Obi and I are not just friends, we call ourselves ‘brothers’. But we have political differences: he left APGA for PDP after his tenure as governor, while I have remained in APGA since 2013.

“During the last two governorship elections in Anambra in 2017 and 2021, he led the PDP campaigns but APGA won landslide in both elections. By the way, in 2016, he visited and proposed that I defect to PDP and contest the 2017 election against the incumbent Willie Obiano, but I declined.

“After my victory in November 2021, he called to congratulate me, as I did to him in 2010. That is the Anambra way: we fight fiercely during campaigns but share drinks at the next social events. After all, it was the Great Zik of Africa, who taught us that in politics, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies but only permanent interests.”

Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”

Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.

He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.

Which yeye north are you talking about? FYI, Benue, Plateau, Kogi, and Kwara, aren't part of your so-called north politically. If you miss north central, you can't win the presidential election in this our dear country.

Kiss the truth! Like my guy says.

Please how did Igbo people betray Jonathan? Did he not win the five SE states?

Are you not confusing ebilokan and his Yorubalokan supporters with Igbo people in 2015?

It's still north vs south, but I doubt everyone in south will support Tinubu, especially SE
If it comes down to Tinubu Vs any Hausa/Fulani candidate, SE will vote overwhelmingly for Tinubu.

The blood suckers from the North have destroyed Nigeria enough.

But I hope Tinubu will look for someone (preferably a Christian from NC with military background) to replace Shettima.

Core North is so overrated.
