Atiku won Osun, Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom in 2023 when the agitation for Southern presidency was more stronger than it is now. Just to jog your memory. In 2027, Atiku will have more stronger grip on the North than Tinubu will have on the South.
Atiku is no more in PDP and won't contest 2027 election under PDP but ADC. So how many southern states can ADC win when PDP, Obi and APC will be on the ballot? It will be hard for him getting 25% in any southern states. Northern votes alone can't make Atiku President.

Exactly. In trying to be smart, Wike and Tinubu have now boxed themselves into a corner. A Northerner clinching the PDP ticket automatically kills any agitation for power to remain in the South. On the other hand, a Southwesterner clinching the ticket means even less votes for Tinubu. Double jeopardy for the master strategist. APC and Wike proxies should tone down on the Southern agitation in order not to make this election a North-South supremacy battle because Tinubu will lose handsomely if that be the case. The North has the advantage of numbers.
If you don't bring wike or Tinubu into any conversation, you won't feel alright.

Okay, they are living rent free on your no. 6

It would be shameless if PDP zones their ticket to the North in 2027

It must be zoned to the South... South South or South West
We want PDP to zone their presidential ticket to South West. So that Tinubu's 1 million South West votes will be splited grin grin

So we are having 4 major parties on ballot come 2027, PDP, APC,ADC,LP.

Let Makinde divide South West vote for either Atiku or Obi.

ADC should take note. Should PDP zone the ticket to North, just know is a trap from Wike and APC to divide the North votes. Let PDP zone it to South.

Imagine Bala Mohammed winning PDP ticket and contesting against Atiku and Tinubu, can’t you see that he will be dividing Atiku’s votes and not Tinubu’s?

Makinde, a butterfly thinking itself a bird.

This explains the fictitious contracts he is awarding up and down (Government house #69bn renovation et.al)

He is only accumulating money for political players to eat, as he stands zero chance of becoming president.

I guess he will be compensated by his liege lord, Tinubu.

Maybe but it's vice versa. Now imagine Seyi Makinde and even Obi contesting seperately alongside Tinubu. That splits the Southern votes into 3 and Obi will still get the highest vote among the 3 in Southern Nigeria if the elections were to be free and fair. Now, tell me, what is Tinubu's pathway to re-election?

If PDP zones their ticket to Bala Mohammed, they would also not have the moral justification to make 2027 about "turn of the south". Heads or tail, Atiku would get the highest votes across the 19 Northern states in all permutations. He only needs to work hard to get the required spread in a few states in the South. That is achievable.

e be like say you dey see Tinubu for your dream anytime you sleep. 10 mankides can't stand Tinubu in the south west, even if it's only Atiku in the north, Tinubu will still best him hands down, so rest and have peace.

PDP is still in Wikes hands, PDP will remain a party on paper. But close to the election date, they will declare support for APC, citing ADC fielding Northern candidate-Atiku as unfair on the southerners.
They will start using slogans like, fairness, equal representation and unity of Nigeria is important to us first, after that we can talk about political difference.

Who on earth will waste his money contesting for president under PDP? No sensible politicians will sponsor a candidate under the umbrella of PDP. They are APC team B, they will just give the ticket to one irrelevant Kwara, Bayelsa or Kogi man. Or better still a Yoruba whose nobody can exchange for Tinubu.

Just like ADC, no automatic ticket for aspirants, tickets will be won from primary election. Atiku votes must be divided in the North, "Political games" will be played for Bala or Saraki to get the ticket. If Obi should contest, then I doubt if Atiku will get 25% requirements from 2/3 of the 36 states.
You think if 2 northerners and 2 southerners contest for the presidency in 2027, it will be a walk in the park for Tinubu?

Considering how his administration and him have lost popularity amongst those that voted in the last election due to his policies that have further impoverished millions.

Stop talking all these, 2027 isn’t sure for anyone. Just as 2023 wasn’t sure for anyone until after the elections were conducted.

Agreed, but i believe that if the three Southerners; Peter Obi, Makinde and Tinubu contest the 2027 election separately against the Northerner Atiku, it will still hurt Atiku. Both Makinde and Obi will be sharing the "old" PDP votes with him.

Relax! Tinubu will complete his two terms. Southerners may support Obi in 2031. Tinubu will soon render your so-called "Northern votes" useless.

Tinubu will still rig them out. A united opposition is the only way of winning Tinubu.
