Tinubu’s plan is to harmonize the southern votes and compete very well in the north; if the opposition fields a northern candidate, they will help him do just that.

Like I said, the opposition has the massive structures to sell any southerner in the north, but they don't have the structures to sell a northerner in the south as of today.

They must be very careful.

Amaechi/El-Rufai candidature
You don't want tax reforms

You don't want economic reforms

You don't want Dangote Refinery

You don't want PH, Warri, Kaduna refineries

You don't want Lagos-Calabar highway

You hate Sokoto-Badagry express

Even second Niger bridge, you were sad,

Train nko, you kept crying

You don't want improved GDP

What you want is "shambles"

What you want is bad news

All you pray for is bandit, BH and IPOB attacks

All you wish for is for people to die

All you like to hear is "Nigeria has happened to you"

Yet you go to church to pray for a miracle,

You go for Umrah and fast for your personal turnaround,

E no go happen. Sorry!

May PBAT Succeed and Nigeria will be great 🇳🇬❤️
God Bless President Bola Tinubu

https://x.com/IU_Wakilii/status/1930200541109346636?s=19[/quote]I won't lie, if the new coalition fields Mr. Peter Obi, Jagaban shouldn't bother to run.

But I know that man from Dubai no go gree, and would help Tinubu mess it all up for them 😂😂😂

So Jagaban can go to bed and sleep like a baby, cos once again 2027 issa goal!

Scooping from different reactions, opinions and others POVs, this ticket will not even be able to unseat Tinubu in 2027.

The general sentiment is that the presidency should remain in the South, even if Peter Obi agrees to be VP to Atiku, it will most likely be a failed ticket.

The only way to remove APC from power is for Atiku and his northern alliance to support the candidacy of Peter Obi.

Atiku can say goodbye to his presidential ambitions.

Hello, sir, As the opposition, we’ve got to agree to come together and back whoever ends up as our candidate. We all have our favorites, and sure, we each think our pick is the one to beat Tinubu. But if we’re splintered, arguing over who’s best, we’re just shooting ourselves in the foot. Unity is our strength here, we need to agree to support the candidate who emerges, period.

The Atiku/Obi ticket is easiest way to unseat that’s without a doubt, it is the “EASIEST” way but not the “ONLY” way, as some people would like to portray it and here is why, The Atiku/Obi will sweep the North 100%, no question. Plus, Obi no matter how unpopular he got after accepting to be AA’s VP, will give enough pull in the South to give us a solid shot at winning, but I’m not convinced it’s the slam-dunk we need governance wise.

First off, Atiku’s age is a big red flag for me. The guy’s 81. I mean, come on, can he really handle the grind of running Nigeria? It’s a tough job, and we can’t just brush it off with “Oh, we need his brain, not his body” or “He’s not here to wrestle.” We’ve heard that before, and I’m not buying it again. Nigerians deserve someone who’s got the energy to lead, not just the experience. Atiku’s a heavyweight, no doubt, but age matters.

Then there’s this whole zoning thing. I’m ready to ditch it, but I don’t want a Northerner to be the one to break that tradition. For me It’d be better if a Southerner steps up, does a solid eight years, and shows the country that Northerners don’t care where the president comes from, We just want someone who gets Nigeria’s mess and can fix it. A leader who understands our challenges, from security to the economy, and actually does something about them.

Now, what about a ticket like Obi with a strong Northern running mate? That could work, too both in governing well and taking on Tinubu. But it’s not a sure thing. The Northerner paired with Obi has to be a heavy hitter, someone with real clout and grassroots support up North.

Also, Obi’s not there yet in terms of Northern acceptability. Without a big name like Atiku or another Northern powerhouse backing him, and without a massive, all-in campaign, it’s going to be a slog to win those voters over. It’s doable, but it’ll take serious work—tons of energy, resources, and time, and we will be heavily banking on Tinubu to continue messing up, which I know he will.

So yeah, Atiku/Obi sounds stronger on paper, but we’ve got to think hard about Atiku’s age and what it means for leadership. And if we’re looking at Obi with a Northern running mate, we need to be strategic about who that is and how we make it stick.

Whatever we do, we can’t afford to be divided, we’ve got to rally behind one candidate and give it everything we’ve got.

This uncle is strongly recommending an Obi/E_Rufai ticket in 2027.

He keep mentioning mal's name without mentioning his name 😂
