I don't think the Muslim Christian issue is the problem for all I know Oga Shetimma can choose to be a Christian in the next four years like Oga Gbajabiamila who chose to be a Muslim politically.

He can't choose to be, stop saying what you have no knowledge of.

He can't choose to a Christian in the next 4 years, he is typical Muslim and can't proclaime jesus as his personal lord and saviour.

Make una no dey talk just because say you feel like talking.

Shettima side chick is speaking on his behalf

AMINDA:
Are the cracks beginning to show already? It's obvious that Tinubu can no longer stand Shettima and will be dropping him but that will be a very grave mistake. I expect Agbadorians to go on an attacking spree against Shettima once that happens. Just as they have done against Wike.

Kwankwaso is more valuable than shetimma.

manmade:
there are lots of Christians in the north that would vote for Tinubu, state like plateau, gombe, Taraba , adamawa, southern part of kaduna, southern part of kebbi,kogi state , kwara state apart from ilorin are majorly Christians, they would vote massively for Tinubu for identitying with them , hausas , fulanis or kanuris may eat their votes if they like.

Lol those are Obi and Atiku stronghold, aside Kogi and Kwara. Yes Yoruba Christains.

Must the hausa/fulanis always be in aso rock why can't they sacrifice their slot for once for someone amongst the hundreds of non hausa/fulani ethnic groups in the north?

Svoboda:
Dont discountenance the diaspora voting bloc in the NC which is chiefly populated by the Igbos. In Plateau, Nasarawa, parts of Benue, and parts of Southern Kaduna, the Igbo are a major voting bloc. We all saw how strong the indigenous and pro Igbo voting blocs gave obi large numbers. Besides that, a lot of these areas have endured insecurity, and those among them who'd ordinarily vote Tinubu would be lukewarm. Unless Tinubu employs underhand methods, it wouldn't be that easy if Obi and Atiku are on the same ticket.

Atiku is weak, stop calling Atiku. Kwankwaso is stronger.

Kwankwasos strength is only found in Kano and parts of Jigawa alone....

Atiku isn't a pigeonhole politician.

did you just list all these states and say they are majorly christian. where are you from?

Tinubu will drop him if he manages to win his second term.

If Shettima has sense, let him know it’s Tinubu game play

Gov. Caleb Muftwang of Plateau will be VP and I'm all for it.

Who Muslim ticket help?

Everyone dealing with Tinubu in the North no longer trusts him. One of the major reasons why Kwankwaso eventually refused to defect to APC was because he feared Tinubu will betray him like he did Elrufai and he's right. Tinubu would have done so.

Why all this political mathematics at this stage? There are many works and projects for the FG to execute than all this envisage from all this politicians.

It seems they are all after their own selfish interests and some tribes sha.

Of course you will be all for it. No be una again? Isn't this you?

Master Strategist has a rigging agenda at the side naw

You think these politicians care about leadership? They don't that's why they spend billions to be on seat....so they can make trillions when they win. It's about ambition to them.

AMINDA:
Which is one of the main reasons why the North may not vote Tinubu if he settles for a Northern Christian Vice because even his faith appears to be for political reasons. The North trusts a Muslim because having the ability to keep to one's promise is one of the hallmark of a muslim. That's the only way they can feel their interests would be protected. Hard as we may pretend, the North votes based on religion, the Southwest vote based on ethnicity, the Southeast vote based on "competence" and the Southsouth vote based on interests.

Corrected!

this people voted against tinubu in the last election because of the Muslim/Muslim tickets, if tinubu could retraced his step and pick a Christian running mate , he would surely capture this areas and don't forget the block votes from the Yorubas and south south people , couple with the votes from good people of South Eastern part.

Shettima is going nowhere.

These are jusr speculation. The day Tinubu should drop Shettima, that will be the day he unofficially loses his re-election.

Without Shettima, he would never have won the election. This was the decider for his victory and not the petty outcry of rigging.

No need for that.

Atiku isn't a pigeonhole politician.

Lol which part of Jigawa? It's just his party was unpopular and northerners were not educated enough about it. Atiku, a fulani man rode on the popular pdp platform and could not defeat Tinubu in fulani stronghold of Northwest. He scored a paltry 100k votes in the regions centre, Kano. He was even performing better in the non fulani areas in Kaduna. He struggled against Tinubu a Yoruba man in fulani dominated katsina, winning him there by just 7k votes, realistically a tie. Yet Tinubu decimated him in Jigawa and zamfara. Atiku is too liberal for the kind of move needed to remove Tinubu. The areas he got voted in the north showed this. If kwankwaso rode on pdp and Atiku on nnpp, Kwankwaso would have performed better than Atiku in the northwest for sure, and that's what I'm proposing in 2027. Mind you, the Kano based man beat Atiku in APC primaries to 2nd place in 2015, behind Buhari and without the dollars that both Atiku spent and Amaechi, Tinubu et al spent on Buhari.

Muslim-Muslim ticket is enabling and empowering terrorism. We will push the US to resist such move.

There's a distinction between fake genocide claims and Caleb becoming VP

this woman should go away joor

Only God knows the first person that created this rumour
Because even Tinubu self never know

It is a gamble Tinubu must indulge in to change the narrative and bring in a new order especially to empower the minority Northern Christians which Trump demanded as a chip for USA invasion or is it incursion.

I agree with you, but your point isn't the whole story. Remember prior to 2023 elections, it was widely reported that Late president Buhari was (if not against) lukewarm to supporting Tinubu. There was a lot of uncertainty, until a few weeks to the polls when Buhari released a video message openly directing his supporters to vote Tinubu. Even on the day of the election, Buhari right before the camera exhibited his ballot paper which clearly showed that he had aligned with Tinubu. That largely was the turning point for Tinubu. He rode largely on Buhari s crest, or else, he could have struggled.

In 2019, Atiku actually struggled against Buhari in the core north. He got most of his votes from the NC and the south. The same thing largely played out in 2023. In 2019 he won 2 states in the sw. In 2023, he won one. That was why I said Atiku isn't a pigeon hole politician.

In 2027, there won't be Buhari. In 2023, Atiku garnered almost 7m votes. In 2019 with Obi, he amassed 11m votes against a phenomenon like Buhari. That actually says something about Atiku.

Kwankwaso may be popular in Kano, but is certainly no match for Atikus reach and network in the north and Nigeria. If Atiku can coopt the likes of El rufai and Pantami, a lot of northern conservatives would fall in line. But the bottom line is that Tinubu has been widely rejected in the north.

I though you all said the North never voted Tinubu? You now think Northerners keeping their words to repay Tinubu back for supporting Buhari against Jonathan in 2015 is a testament of Atiku’s unpopularity? Tinubu even went further to betray the Northern allies that made that possible. Anyway, since no good deed goes unpunished, we will all learn politics together come 2027.

Does that mean removing the terrorist kingpin will have harm the terrorist wing of the APC ?

People should remind this woman of what happened to OBJ in 2003 and GEJ in 2011 where the all Northern bites went to former PMB and the two of them still won with Southern and Middle belt votes. If PBAT picks a Northern Christian, he will still win with Southern and Middle belt votes.
