They are deceiving themselves like Peter Obi's loyalists who resigned from Obiano's government in Anambra thinking that Obi had the capacity to stop Obiano's second term. Abba Yusuf will have an easy victory into his second term.

This is the dirty politics in Nigeria. Politics of betrayal and counter betrayal and backstabbing

It's to be expected. Political realignment is still going on.

Kwankwaso himself might still end up in the APC. As far as I can see, the APC is still his best avenue to where he's trying to get to.
He miscalculated, but it's never too late.

This is where the rubber-hits-the-road in the APC. The APC can not go beyond the Year 2027 in Nigerian polity.

The chief promoters of APC think it's a big deal for the Kardashian state i.e the KKK states but the North's feudalist and historical leanings will play out even in Katsina.

The Battle ground for the 2027 Election is no longer the core North because no permutation will give PBAT Kaduna, Kano & Katsina on a platter.

The North Central (Middle Belt) comprising of Benue, Plateau, FCT & Taraba will determine the Presidency.

I don't see APC winning the NC at all, PBATs greatest misque will be the Elite consensus - i.e relying on people who are selfish and opportunistic by diverting money meant to mobilise the electorate for thier personal use.

Look at it this way...without Yusuf in the last election, BAT got 500k votes to NNPN's 900k votes.

Now if Yusuf can give him an additional 200 votes, he'll match NNPN 700k to 700k, that's a far better position than he had last time around.
Re: Kwankwaso Loyalists Quit Governor Yusuf's Cabinet After Defection To APC by AMINDA:
Tinubu is counting on Abba to deliver Kano to him but even Abba himself will be relying on Ganduje's structure to return elected because he has no structure of his own. No be juju be that? Who will now deliver who? Abba, the snake oil salesman has nothing to offer Tinubu. There's only one leader in Kano.

Jagora!

You must be kidding yourself. We have been telling you that you people are not good in politics. You analyze based on emotion not on facts. You analyze based on your ethnic affinity. Don't be surprised that Tinubu is going to win again. Remember all you said before 2023 election

Yes. By this time in 2023, Northerners carried his matter on their heads and were ready to risk it all despite naira scarcity. Infact, naira scarcity won him more votes in the North. He ended up getting 5.6m votes from the North out of his total 8m votes. The atmosphere is different now. He now has the reputation of a serial betrayal who lack the ability to keep to his own words. The results will show in 2027, no be cho cho cho. Forget the 250 billion naira money induced defection. No governor will pass up on such largesse.
Re: Kwankwaso Loyalists Quit Governor Yusuf's Cabinet After Defection To APC by Lanruze: 10:42pm On Jan 26
I laugh in English, Hausa, fulfide and Spanish.

The degree of rural poverty in Northern Nigeria is unprecedented.

The core Northern politicians will have a filed day in dismantling APC when the elections are close.

Just forget ! Northern Nigerians especially the three (Ks) state have a pattern of voting for candidates.

Unfortunately their votes can not be rigged.

The best political analysts in Nigeria are unfortunately the worst political losers also. Legendary sore losers at that. What an irony!!!
One State is very sure for obedients to win in the North and that state is Sokoto.
You know why? Because there's a life Prison President who currently has just started his tenure there. Good news is that as a life president he has no need for reelection for ever. I hope obedients would contribute some money to reimburse the fund the FG is spending on his watery beans meals because it's not easy feeding someone for life oh.

APC is playing blindly. The poor masses over here won't support tinubu so one decamping in Kano is on a shaky ground especially the governor

One thing I've meant about Kwankwaso is that he often fails to take the right deals when offered. Same thing in 2023, same thing now. Man is as stubborn as they come.

And if I may ask, tell me the voting pattern of the three 'Ks'?.
