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.
Good observation/ permutation But it doesnt mean Tinubu is untouchable

Presently the North are not happy with Tinubu and there major blockage is the Zoning agreement, as much as not want to honor the 8yrs agreement should Opposition present a southerner that is not a threat to the 8yrs agreement North will dispose Tinubu

Tinubu knows no candidate fit into that arrangement except him and a Jonathan, can political gladiators put their ambition aside for a Jonathan

For now only Jonathan thick all the boxes, he cant use more than 1 term

Do you mean that if Fubara wants Tinubu, people will vote for Tinubu.
Guaranteed
In fact, as at today, Rivers votes are sure for Tinubu.
Did you hear what Fubara said just last week?

When you hear these Fulani oligarchies talking about "The North" taking over power, they are only hypocritical about it.
They actually mean power returning to Fulani ..

It is power rotation between the South and the Fulanis

this is a lie. Igbo man wants presidency. Why is Obi labouring? What about Ogbonnaya Onu, Orji Kalu, Okorocha and other igbo men who contested in the past?

It should be North vs southwest contest
You people are inconsequential and so your hatred for the yorubas is nothing to fear about it. Most of us in south south will support tinubu against atiku at any given time. We know you people want to become slave to atiku as vice presidential candidate in 2027. You people will still fail and wail again.

I agree but come to think about it, what if we repeat the same mistake with Jonathan where we just want the man out by all means and the person who wants to replace him was just waiting for that opportunityhuh

I think the good thing that comes out of this 2027 discussion even though it's disgusting to be talking about it just 2 years into the administration is that
ANY SERIOUS CANDIDATE SHOULD DECLARE NOW.

Nigeria has always had a leadership problem. It's better to test the candidates for a long time instead of how they rush us few months to elections.

Give Tinubu 8 years, he won't attend debates. He knows why. Na the result be dis. Gbajue politics, grab it and runaway with it. Every candidate, everyone of them should go through rigorous questioning. We let them go off too easy that's why they've taken us for a ride and want to use poverty to punish our lives so we can keep slaving for them. Ranka dede politics
This is exactly the points,Atiku seems to be only about his interest, just want to take the advantage of hardship in the country to achieve his ambition. The same policies Tinubu is implementing are the same policies he promised to implement if voted for.

You people that is not conquered, what have you achieved. Stay there cos south south will produce the vice president slot in 2031. We are politically smart than igbos who believe in politics of hatred, bitterness and emotion.

"If things continue this way, then, as rightly predicted, the 2027 presidential election will be a serious battle between the north and south, a complete departure from the June 12, 1993 presidential election"

How is it a departure? Or same.

It's not new to have North vs South; Atiku & Buhari have always been on the ballot either vs North/South.

When the time comes for campaign, common sense will prevail and the South will have its 8yrs.

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
even if the make obi the coalition candidate, he will still fail. We know is lamba already. You think the propaganda of 2023 will work again. He will also explain to Nigerian the reason of joining one of the structures of criminality he vowed to dismantle. The core north don't have trust for him and that is why they are insisting on atiku. They don't mind wait after tinubu's eight years. Igbo presidency will only come in 2039 and they will look for a non tribal and religion igbo candidate. Obi has so far shown he is so tribalistic. He hadly condemned negative happenings in the east but quick to do in other region.

AmuEbule:
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 🤔
Cool down bro. These APC people never see politics. cheesy I just dey laugh them.
Atiku & Obi will say he will do 1 term so to rotate the Presidency among the 6 Geo-zones. Who no go like better thing considering the fact that Middle belt, SS, and SE has not tasted Presidency, they will all queue behind them. Make 2026 come first, you go see politicking.

Parypaso:
The North are projecting Obi so that after Obi's first tenure, the North will now say it's there turn since Tinubu from the south has already ruled for four years. For me oo, Obi should really round Tinubu so that after Tinubu's eight years and either years for the North, power will return back to South then he can contest. Just my take.
Show us the evidence. The north has lost the trust in igbos. The manner obi campaigned in 2023 has diminish his chance. He just shown his true colour. The north will prefer to bear tinubu and get back power than allow an igbo who is so tribalistic and religious fanatic like them too, to vote for. Atiku remains thier choice.

Atiku didn't want to compromise even when the party agreed that if party chairman goes to north, presidency should come to south, the three top positions were collected by the north and that lead to the G5 governors

It’s not going to be North vs South but Tínubu vs Nigerians…..if things stays like it is presently the supporters of APC will be stoned out of campaign ground …the better BAT supporters tells him the fact instead of keeping deceiving him….they should go out and know how much hatred an average Nigerian has for Tínubu …politicians will not be the results of the next election…Nigerians are very angry presently but just keeping quiet and some myopic people are here supporting nonsense forgetting the facts most voters are not online and the time of bribing them with 3 to 10k during election is over…they are wiser very much now…They know they can take your money and never vote for you and they should remeber it’s not party against party but Apac against Nigerianss…some Apc agents and even policemen will work against Apc ….time willl tell soon…Tinubu is no more sellable …FACT
Re: 2027 Presidency: A North Vs South Contest? by DavidMm: 2:01pm On Apr 26, 2025
2027 is not going to be a North V South Affair! The only people that want to frame this a such are desperate politicians, that have nothing to offer the people of the country, but rather want to capitalize on the temporary birth pains of the arduous task of rebuilding an economy, that they ( the same set of people) grounded.

The author took the wishes and aspiration of a PDP member and tries to spin it into a plot line. Why wouldn't Atiku, El Rufai and the PDFP hope that 2027 election is about the North and the South? Why wouldn't a group of has failed politicians and "has beens" with nothing to show, at best, or negative trails of antecedents, want to grab onto old fracture lines to get to power? Why wouldn't a party that failed at internal democracy and self governance, attempt to ride on the wave of ethnic disaffection for a chance to gain control of governance?

PDP is a failed party desperately seeking to stay relevant by pulling on our national faultiness . Going by the events of recent, they should worry more about savaging their party rather than 2027. There seem to be a lot for them to get right as a party. A party that cannot self govern yet wants to govern a nation. A party that is not guided by its own constitution yet, wants us to trust them with our nation. A party that failed to complete a national secretariat in almost 20 years, wants to build our nation. A party that has failed to evolve in almost 3 decades, wants us to give them the reins of governance in the era of artificial intelligence.

2027 will be anything but North Versus South! Because north or south, wherever you are from or live within the sovereign borders of NIGERIA; our aspirations are one and the same. More to come!

The only person PBAT is gittery is PO. PBAT and his team are still researching on why PO defeated him in Lagos in 2023. Alh Atiku Abubakar is a mismatch to PBAT. He will be trounced roundly in the election.

Only death will take that man out of Aso Rock until 2031

oga you are saying nonsense .Think research before you talk.. The crisis in PDP was created by wike, stop playing victim..Atiku said they should microzone the ticket to South east or throw it open, committee headed by wike stooge threw the ticket open and now they are blaming Atiku and Wike single-handedly picked Ayu who comes from north Central..I don't understand how deluctional you guys are..We have six geo political zone in Nigeria which Ayu belongs to north Central and Atiku belongs to north east, which means they don't fall in the same geo political zone.
Is people who are sentimental like you they are using the regional politics to deceive.
It is not even in the constitution for rotation of power, let power goes to the individual that meant well for the country I can't care where he or she comes from.. Now Tinubu has become the president has Nigeria get better? It is getting worse because of this stupid regional politics, divide and rule game politicians are playing on your head

sorry for that, Delta state has always been a PDP state, so it's only those who left are leaving for themselves and nothing more, it will shock them that PDP will not fall it's hand for APC to take over. Tinubu's game will fail him when it comes to the east.
