Ibos will vote for Atiku if Peter Obi is his running mate.
Is that the weak response you can muster in defense of our president, Kadoso? He stated categorically that the people of the SS will not support Tinubu but you just couldn't tell him that the whole of the SS is with Tinubu. You're getting really weak this days, Kadoso. What's going on?

If this country is a normal country, no one from NW or NE is supposed to be voted to become a president for the next 20 years, till they are able to overcome all their challenges from education, to development, to security plaguing them, cos no one can solve it except they themselves.

[b]The British did us a country a very bad thing by handing over po[/b]wer to them.
Point of correction, power was handed over to Alhaji Ahmadu Bello, (Northern Nigeria political leader), by Nnamdi Azikiwe, in 1959 and not the British as erroneously claimed in many quarters in Igboland.

You missed the point when you said if not for Buhari cult like followership in 2019.

APC lost the 2019 election, it was so clear that they had to deny ever having a server in court, which they actually did.

In 2023, the Server that they denied in 2019, suddenly had a glitch and people could no longer follow live updates, cant you see that, winning elections is more than who is popular where?

If Tinubu picks a goat as Vice, he will still win because the election will be rigged.

Once he dropped shetima,his base in NE is gone.
In NC =only kogi is sure for him,that's if he reconcile with yahaya bello.
Nasarawa can tilt to pdp or adc.
Plateau can vote tinubu if he chose to work with the present governor,if not, he may not get 25%.
Kwara is a very difficult one him.
The governor is not his person and the former governors are still strong and influential and not with him.
Benue is hard to call 35% for him considering how he handle the banditry issues there. People are now having the perception that's jihad that's going on in the state.
Niger state use to be APC stronghold due to bubari's influence but that's no longer there.
Abuja can till to tinubu due to wike's infrastructure drive but if he doesn't handle the issues of civil servants and land allocation/demolition well, he may not get 50%.
I like your analysis but kwara is the surest state in Nigeria for Tinubu outside his SW states. Majority are Yoruba. They just love Tinubu naturally. The performance of Abdulrazak or Saraki resurgence cannot influence this so leave kwara out. I believe Saraki and pdp are finished in kwara by the way. The governor is a tinubu man, he was brought by Lai Mohammed.

Kogi is not as sure as you think but Tinubu will win here whether Bello aligns or not. The okun Yoruba will naturally vote Tinubu. Ebira will likely follow Tinubu as well as a number of igalas... With sdp aligning with tinubu in nasarawa, Tinubu should take nasarawa this time. Tinubu almost won nasarawa last time if not for Karu bloc votes. I believe Tinubu will eat into Karu votes just like Buhari did in 2019 to win nasarawa. APC since 2015 has taken 25% in plateau. This will continue. Despite the massive killings in Benue under buhari, he almost won benue. Despite the obi wave, Tinubu still won. Benue will still divide or APC win since ortom faction of pdp will work for Tinubu... Niger is dicey. This is where Tinubu got his Jagaban title. Atiku is strong here but PDP is very weak. Bago is doing well alongside senator Sani musa. The apc structure will still deliver Tinubu.
For fct, obi will still win but Tinubu as a result of wike work will get 30% at the least.

You should acknowledge that there is no more Christian voting bloc for Atiku/obi plus southern sentiments. 2027 Will teach us all new lessons.
I sincerely hope so. Alas! the Nigerian reality as you know is usually characterized by very disappointing popular swing of the ballot.

Op doesn't understand the meaning of 'popular'. Obi may garner more votes in the West than Atiku, but he is by no means more popular than Atiku.
Can you point to where op wrote that Obi is more popular than Atiku. You people just read without comprehension

How did APC lose in 2019? Can't you see that northerners don't like Atiku?
Even in 2023 Tinubu won. If the server is down, why not look for the hard copies

Tinubu is not popular in the East as Obi is in the west, why is this simple English hard to understand. Did Tinubu win any state in the East? No , did Obi win any in west? Yes Lagos.

Kwankwaso is more popular than Shettima by far!

And Kwankwaso’s state alone can almost cancel out what opposition candidate can muster in the entire Northeast (Shettima’s zone).

But the big question is, will Kano voters vote for a Tinubu/Kwankwaso ticket just because Kwankwaso defected to APC? Are Kano voters that daft? I guess not.

It’s like expecting Ndi Anambra or Southeast to vote for Tinubu because Peter Obi defected to APC. Because as popular as Peter Obi is, one wrong step will kill all of his popularity in the entire Southeast in 24hrs.

But maybe it’s not like that in Kano. Maybe Kano people are easily led by their noses and told where to thumbprint.

But all this simply betrays one thing - that Tinubu is scared to his pampers. While his supporters litter here saying things to excite themselves, Tinubu knows that the reality on ground says something different.

In 2027, those defecting to APC won’t attract much votes to Tinubu; especially in the Southsouth. You would be daft to think Tinubu will win Delta because the governor defected.
You guys underrated Tinubu when he was not in office , again you guys are underestimating him again now that he has power, intelligence report daily and most opposition members are joining his party , I will wait till after elections in 2027 to remind you of this post , tinubu has not lost a personal political battle since 1990 and you guys still underrate him ? Infact I don't know what else to say, SMH.

In 2031 atiku will be 85yrs old.

U wan use guy man sense for atiku.

Honest truth is that there is no pathway for Obi to presidency.

If atiku supports Obi I can guarantee you that he will loose even Adamawa his home state.
No northern politician will work for Obi.
The only way they will work for Obi is if he is vice .

Put yourself in their shoes. Wait for tinubu 4yrs or wait for Obi 8yrs.

And forget that a politician will only serve 1 term and hand over. It's not possible. They know these all this politicians are greedy desperate and power drunk.
Obi inclusive. In fact he seems the most desperate, agreeing to any deal to be president.
I am sure he will even agree to a 2 week presidential term.

[quote author=Ayo25 post=135949103]How is Obi more popular than Tinubu in Tinubus region?

I stand to be corrected o. But let me say this I do hear people say something about kano having more voters than the entire southeast you all forgot that the igbos are mostly business oriented. We have more southeasterners in other regions than other regions in southeast. Let's take Lagos as an example from oshodi to idumota to other parts of lagos have high concentration of igbos. Even now streetwise unless baba act like in 2023 he has strongly lost the appeal of the masses, kwankwaso or shettima, baba will up his game to win this time

KWANKWASO IS MORE POPULAR.

THIS IS NOT EVEN UP FOR DEBATE.

ASIDES BUHARI, NO LIVING NORTHERNER HAS THE KIND OF CULT FOLLOWERSHIP THAT KWANKWASO HAS.

THE MAN SHOULD HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT OF NORTHERN NIGERIA WAS A COUNTRY ON ITS OWN.

AND FOR 2027, APC IS IN A BIG MESS ALREADY.
THE PARTY WILL IMPLODE INTERNALLY
Atiku is more popular than Kwankwaso in the North

For me, Kwankwaso could be more popular but remember, once a group feels undermined in interest, then their totality will no longer be assured in that particular venture. Therefore, Shettima and his men will not be in full commitment to deliver APC in 2027.

You have political heavy weights in the north and kwakwanso can be at oar with atiku if he were in a party like pdp but he still did great with is small Nnpp...it's funny how obidients think obi would get more votes than he did in 2023.... What you guys always forget is that the dynamics would be different in 2027 and so many factors would come to bear.

Power of incumbency,money and ability to galvanise support across class and ethnic lines,religion and tribalism....tinubu would still have far more appeal to any northerner than obi anytime anyday just for being Muslim and he would have far more support in his region than he did in 2023.....the battle ground are the swing states like Parts of NC and SS and many of this places especially the SS many factors that worked against the APC in 2923 won't be there In 2027.....it's obvious 2027 won't be a 2 horse race and that would work greatly in Tinubu's favour, everyone would hold their regions tight and any where your opponent is winning just try to keep the margin as tight as possible,that was how tinubu was able to beat atiku because states atiku won,he came second with very narrow margin, Katsina was just about 5k difference and even 4k in other places

It's same way obi wou6also loose votes if he decides to work with atiku rather than going it alone.... The opposition have a bigger dilemma because tinubu already knows his weaknesses and is already doing everything to work on that
In all of your permutations, you didn’t factor in the hunger in the land and the general disenchantment with Tinubu.

Oh! That doesn’t matter abi?

And hey, Obi’s political stock hasn’t changed one bit.

There has always been hunger in the land.....Buhari won 2nd term with hunger and insecurity pervading the land.....votes are even easier to buy now than it was in 2015.....forget all the obidients noise in the urban centers,the real magic happens in the rural far to reach areas,how would obidients counter vote buying and under age voting in far away Katsina or Kano or deep in cross rivers jungles.

Nigerian politics is still majorly driven by the elites and they always have a say over the masses that does the voting......APC was able to proof that with Buhari in 2015 and tinubu had the majority elite consensus in 23.

That’s why there’s a coalition coming. So that areas where Obidients can’t reach, the rest of the members of the coalition will police there.

Obidients will no longer do the job alone in 2027. So, don’t bank on it.

In your dreams....2027 isn't going to be a 2 horse race,take that to the bank.....obi would decide to go it alone as his support base would be disaligned if he decides to run with atiku and those charlatans in that coalition knows they can't pitch a xtian southerner against a Muslim one who is even incumbent.,...oga the odds are stacked against the coalition...they cannot find an all size fits all arrangement and that's their bane.
