Once you start getting this kind of news reportage you know that the deal is already concluded.

An Obi/Kwankwaso ticket even under a Birthday Party will run Tinubu and his Sheeples of governors out of town before noon on Election Day even if Seyi Tinubu is INEC chairman.

With what is coming, Tinubu and APC would have wished they allowed Electronic Transmission of result.Look at you, Now it's Obi kwankwaso again,una no even have policy or direction.

Game on!

And the tears can now start flowing.

Oya Add 6 Million to 1 Million makes 7 Million.

Still doesn’t match what BAT got last time which will be doubled now

Obi should just compete to become BATs campaign DG in the East. He might be considered for a ministerial position thereafter. Very dull man

AdolfHitlerxXx:
It's a big lie. It is Obidenrs that photoshopped Peter Obi into the picture.

Kwankwaso can NEVER be a 2nd to someone he's superior to, in all ramifications - academics, achievement and status.

It is like Real Madrid begging to use Enyimba stadium

This ticket will send Tinubu back to Lagos no matter how he plans to rig

ottersberger:
But Buhari and Osinbajo are academic equals?. We know Shettima is even more educated than Tinubu who forged his school papers. Una no get sense.

Tareq1105:
Is Obi 6.1m votes still there?

Is Atiku 6.8m votes still there after PDP has lost 8 1/2 Govs to APC? That 1/2 is Gov Fintiri bcoz he rejected Atiku ADC totally.

Is kwakwaso 1m votes still there after the defection of his son in law Gov Yusuf to APC?

We should stop deceiving ourselves with the statistics of 2023. APC tinubu will do better in the south east states than the performance in 2023.

I'm not unaware of the hatred for Tinubu and Yorubas, it's a long standing strong issues from colonial to post independent and to the civil war era.

My submission is that without the full cooperation, collaboration, understanding and submission of the Yorubas, no South East can be president bcoz the North cannot do it alone.

As a matter of fact, full cooperation of the North for a south east president cannot be achieved without the intervention of the Yorubas.

I've just pointed out my observations as someone that has been voting since 1983.

You don't have to agree with me or insult me.

This is the only ticket that can defeat Tinubu hands down, unfortunately it will never happen. Kwankwaso will not be Obi's deputy. It just doesn't serve his political interests. He will have to wait for Obi to finish 8 years before he gets a chance to run for presidency. Right now as thing stand, if Tinubu completes his second term Kwankwaso is already the biggest northern politician after Atiku, he stands a much better chance of contesting and winning in 2031, at which time Atiku will be 85. Moreover, if he deputises for Obi and their government doesn't live up to expectation, it will diminish the popularity he already has.
Their is only one clear path for Kwankwaso, join APC and wait out Tinubus second term. It is very possible for him to win the primary and be the APC candidate in 2031. If he does anything other than this, he should kiss his dream to be president good bye.

How exactly can this ticket defeat Tinubu in a three horse race of Tinubu, Atiku and Obi? What’s the path to victory for the ticket? How many states in the north can the ticket win?

SadiqBabaSani:
Kwankwaso will give Obi too much trouble,

Instead of this Obi let BAT Continue,

Burob:
razzness is just wishful thinking for his Igbo uncle Obi, there is no path whatsoever to victory, pure hallucination @ best.

TheDemola:
An alliance thought to have happened in 2023, but for Kwankwaso's pride and stupidity

Razzness:
Dey play.
So you honestly think that it is wishful thinking that an Obi/Kwankwaso ticket in ADC, backed by Atiku, who where the 2nd, 3rd and 4th candidates from the last election can defeat Tinubu on popular votes. Wow! you don't even need to be a genius to figure that out, it's simple mathematics. I am not saying INEC will announce them as winners, even if they win the popular votes. That's an entirely different conversation.

ovie8200:
Sometime, you all always feel the next person will do better. Peter Obi as much I don't know him, I feel like that he will be a poppet of the North if he become president. He will be weaker and do what he is told.. When they are not there, the feel like they can do better but when get there, they don't know what to do.

Mrfixitt:
You feel or you're saying it because you don't like him ? Peter Obi was the one who killed God fatherism in Anambra as governor so park one side

Razzness:
It's not going to be a three horse race, are you forgetting that Obi and Atiku are already in the same party, and only one can emerge as the presidential candidate. If Obi emerges as the ADC candidate and he picks Kwankwaso (assuming he joins ADC and supports Obi), Atiku will have no choice but to back them, because it would be too late to leave the party at that point to go and set up another political structure elsewhere. With the support of Atiku, Obi/Kwankwaso ticket who where the 2nd, 3rd and 4th candidates from the last election would definitely give Tinubu a run for his money and based on popular votes they would definitely win, but we all know it is very unlikely for them to be announced as winners by INEC, even if they win. Nigerian politics 101.

Ezeama400:
That’s your opinion

Obi got 6 million plus, while Kwankwaso go 1 million Votes..

You should know who should deputize who ..

Una too Dey overrate northerners, that’s why they are looking down on you guys

Thanks for your response and willingness to engage without lacing your response with insult.

1. Your assumption of a two horse race is wrong. Atiku will contest the ADC primary and win the ticket. If there is ever going to be an Obi/ Kwankwaso ticket, it will very likely be on the platform of another party.

2. In politics, interest overrides all other considerations. What’s in an Obi/Kwankwaso ticket for Atiku? Absolutely nothing. In the unlikely event of an Obi primary election victory, the Atiku camp will have to be placated with the party’s VP. Basically, Atiku will be begged to come up with the VP candidate. That person won’t definitely be kwankwaso.

3. Let’s even assume somehow that ADC agree to the ticket, what’s in that arrangement for the core north? Why will the largely Muslim north abandon the MM ticket of Tinubu and the 100% assurance of getting power back in 2031 only to support another southern Christian till 2035? Why?

4. Finally, what is the political weight of Kwankwaso in the north considering the overall political interest of the north? Those that voted for Atiku in 2023 simply wanted power retained in the north. Those votes can’t be transferred to a northern VP candidate. Kwankwaso as presidential candidate will win Kano easily but as VP to a Southern candidate, he will struggle to win Kano and lose all other core northern states to APC.

Conclusion: There is no pathway to an Obi/ Kwankwaso ticket irrespective of whether it’s a three or two horse race.
