Momodu is a disgrace same as all Southerners working for Atiku to usurp the turn of the South per the rotation agreement.

There won't be a single Northerner who will agree to work for a Southern Presidential candidate attempting to usurp the turn of the North.

I am really ashamed of Southerners. It is our cowardice and lack of principles that has allowed the North to become the over-privileged big problem it is to Nigeria today.

Atiku for where ? Too many Southerners act like b1tches and when you do that you give others the signal to dominate you.

The likes of Dele Momodu are the reason the core North has now become a major problem for Nigeria today when we should have all stood our ground ages ago to insist they shape up or ship out.

There is no south according to you people in 2015 and there will be no south in 2027, Yoruba vote Yoruba as usual and the hon same thing and let Atiku win

Third behind who? If I knew you we would have bet any amount of your choice.

[quote author=AMINDA post=139774394]If Atiku won Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom in 2023 and got over 25% in Delta, is it in 2027 that he will fail to get 25% in any Southern state? 2023 was more of the "turn of the South" than 2027 will be and this time, Tinubu has been tested and has failed. The PDP structure who were sympathetic to Turaki still exists in those states and they will support Atiku. The Udom bloc in Akwa Ibom still exists and the Deputy governor of Bayelsa refused to decamp until he died under mysterious circumstances. Those bloc of votes are not for Tinubu. Atiku will also get good numbers in at least 2 states in the SW. Besides, once Nigerians see that Atiku has a clear path in emerging with the highest votes cast, a lot more people will flip and vote for him since Tinubu is very unpopular.

Rufai: “With these projections, how many states do you think Atiku Abubakar will win in the 2027 election?”

Dele Momodu: “As I predicted, Atiku will win the majority of the North, and if he is able to compete favourably in the South, it will be over for President Tinubu and…

. Sometimes when I come across your comments, I just laugh and wonder if you are in nursery reciting rhymes. The vote he Atiku got was because of these govs in PDP den, which Atiku happens to be their candidate. Dem no even born any of they people you mentioned to even hold just a poster of Atiku, talk more of asking them to vote him. Even ADC ihedioha will be hiding to campaign for Atiku in his Mbaise.

Hedonisco:
I find it weird that Atiku thinks he can be Buhari. It's just like Orji Uzor Kalu thinking that he can be Peter Obi. The very underpinning of Buhari's cult-like, organic following - similar to Peter Obi - is the feeling of personal integrity, frugality, austere simplicity and incorruptibility. Of course whether Buhari eventually lived up to that false belief is another matter, and is a differentiating feature between him and Peter Obi.

That said, we must admit that the average core northern voter is almost a zombie that prioritizes ethnicity and religion over anything else, especially when the contest is between a Muslim northerner and anyone else. It doesn't matter whether the Northern Muslim on the ballot is a big thief, as long as he is their brother, he will get the vote over a southern 'saint'.

This is very similar to what we have learnt about the average South Western voter as well - who would definitely chose a South Western thief on the ballot even over and beyond a South Western non-thief, let alone a non South Westerner.

So Atiku will clear the core northern Muslim votes without a doubt, except for Kano State and segments of Jigawa. Unfortunately for him, these would not be enough because Peter Obi will likely clear the Northern Christian votes which are quote significant on their own (Kaduna South, segments of Adamawa, segments of Bauchi, Nasarawa, Taraba, Plateau, Benue - added to the commanding position in Abuja, the South East, South South, and Lagos.

segments of Bauchi indeed. The way Tinubu will beat Atiku in the north again will be remembered for years to come.

northerners are over privileged
They used military rule to ruin this country
Those guys are not supposed to be close to anything leadership in this country for the next 50yrs

Atiku-Obi should have been my tickets. Since they have separated both will fail together. It's known.
Obi will come out the third you gave Atiku. Atiku is getting overwhelming votes from North West and East. He will be poor in the South. Obi result from the South this time will be reduced. That I know. He should forget Lagos this time. It's a joke taking too far for anyone to believe that APC will give them same leverage. They won't accept the insult the second time.

Time will tell.

Iriruaga100:
Atiku will win core northern states, he won’t get 25% in the south. The election will go into second round because none of the three main candidate will get the required spread.
Tinubu is bleeped already, his alliance in the north is long lost. His only hope in north is Bornu and kogi.

Tinubu alliances in the morth is still solid. this last bye elections proofs it and 2027 will confirm it
What Tinubu needs to do is what he already did in 2023:
win as many northern states as possible, remain competitive across the zones, and deny Atiku any overwhelming northern landslide.

That is the real game.
Presidential elections in Nigeria are not won by emotional claims to one region. They are won by broad spread, enough state-by-state competitiveness, and strong party structure.

And that is where governors matter.
