It is gaining ground because of the glaring failure of the ruling party.

What part of Kwankwasso saying he can not be running mate to anyone did you guys miss?

Its Obi that is begging Kwankwasso to pick him as running mate.

I urge all Obidients to manage their expectations and be open to all possible scenarios. To choose a Vice, you first have to secure the ticket first. Kwankwaso is interested in contesting for Senate and is positioning to become Senate President. Things are moving very fast. No time for complacency and baby politics. Get in or vote Tinubu in peace! The ADC and authentic PDP have committed to fielding only one presidential ticket in 2027.

Which opposition parties?

You will be surprised that APGA, LP, SDP and a host of others will adopt Tinubu as their candidate.

That is their prerogative, isn't it? That's the beauty of democracy as long as they can get their supporters to key into the Tinubu project. But Tinubu is rather interested in using might to run unopposed.

Be rest assured that PDP will be fielding a candidate.

You should be more worried on the fallout when your principal, Atiku gets the ticket and does not pick Obi as his running mate.

The massive blowback from this will be interesting to watch as Obidients will go full rampage.

If Wike's PDP wins at Supreme court and fields a candidate, that's a minus for Tinubu as the candidate will definitely be a Southerner. On the other hand, fielding a Northerner will kill every talking point about "turn of the South". The ball is in your court. If Atiku wins the ticket, Obi will have the right of first refusal. His supporters will rather prefer he doesn't accept the VP slot, even if he supports the ticket. This will pave the way for Makinde to Vice Atiku with power heading to the Southeast next.

If Wike faction wins, the PDP will endorse Tinubu.

You should be more worried about what the deranged mob will do to scuttle Atiku at the polls.

I see them doing a massive boycott or voting massively for an obscure candidate .

There will be massive protest votes by the Obidients.

You're wrong. At least half of the Southeast will vote ADC no matter the outcome of the primaries. That will be enough. The North will take care of the rest. Tinubu should rather be worried that majority of Southerners will rather observe voter apathy than vote him. Wike's faction of PDP supporting Tinubu adds nothing to the equation.

It is up to the substantive winner of the primaries to decide who he will pick as his VP candidate. The VP nominee has no say in the matter other than to accept or refuse.

I know you know that your Atiku has since ruled out picking Obi as his running mate and this statement you made is just to massage Obi's mob supporters.

All these permutations on power shifts remain permutations.

Atiku will be doing two terms if he wins the elections and he will have little or no say on who will replace him.

And why should the north continue with the rotation when Atiku has discarded it?

What stops a northerner from replacing Atiku?

You are banking on their hate and bigotry towards the tribe and person of the incumbent but fail to see that without their unifying bigot-n-chief, they will be a headless mob and do as they please and vote any one and anything other than Tinubu.

Atiku will even do worse than Tinubu in the SE as they will see him as the one who denied them their most coveted Ibo presidency.

Same reason that made Northerners keep their word to vote Tinubu in 2023, thereby making him president. This speech by Elrufai at Arewa House in 2023 resonated with a lot of Northerners and inspired 5.6m Northerners to queue up to vote Tinubu, against their son, Atiku. How did Tinubu repay the favour? Where is Elrufai today? Good or bad, the North remembers and they ALWAYS pay their debts.

MAJOR THROWBACK!

why are the likes of Atiku not honoring that agreement?

Is this not the same reason that saw PDP implode and instead of blaming Atiku you all shifted your blames on Wike who was only demanding for equity.

Unfortunately no INEC polling unit on social media

Did Atiku sign any pact with Tinubu? You are funny. So all Nigerians in all opposition parties should step down and support Tinubu right?

AMINDA dude is even telling them to even forget Atiku picking Obi as running mate.

The fallout and massive meltdown in the Obidient camp will be interesting.

If it's against your tribesman, it's hate and bigotry but if you do the same to others, it's master strategy. Was it hate and bigotry that made Tinubu travel all the way to Daura to convince a retired Buhari to come use his popularity to send his Southern brother, Jonathan packing? He even refused the Speaker position and other ministerial positions heading to the Southwest just so he can sell the marginalisation story across the Southwest.

Same Tinubu, I should remind you supported your Atiku and gave him the ACN ticket to contest before the merger with CPC with Buhari.

Your whole existence on Nairaland is practically about Peter Obi and Obidients. Hardly a day goes by without you creating at least 2 threads about Obi and Obidients. Worry about Tinubu, Obidients can take care of themselves.

Typical.

As I said, I can't wait for the implosion that will happen when Atiku emerges and does not pick your Obi.

Even Amaechi and Kwankwasso will quit the party and return back to APC .

That was because Atiku had earlier saved his hide after much begging when Obasanjo was taking over the entire Southwest. The most undemocratic behaviour we have ever seen under civilian government have happened when Southwesterners are in power. Is this a coincidence or by design?

The fall of that agbero, tout, drug baron and certificate forger is very near...

Unfortunately, out of a combination of greed, fear, and trepidation, Tinubu has dribbled himself to make that impossible by amending the electoral act. Not before decriminalising certificate forgery and age falsification, though.

Atiku cant pick Obi for fear of alienating Northern Muslims who see Obi as eye pub

Its going to be hilarious when SHTF.

Anụọfia is accusing Igbos of hate and bigotry meanwhile we all saw what the accommodating South westerners did during the last election, how they tried to disenfranchise anyone who's not Yoruba, we are also currently witnessing the bigotry being displayed by the presidency when it comes to projects and appointments.
