If atiku like make he listen to them, that's the end of him. Amaechi can still wrestle vote in pH and he have some allies in some northern part, but seyi not even sure if winning his state and no connection in any Northern part. This is the work of APC to deceive atiku.

Amaechi is not a push over in politics, the primary election with Tinubu he came second even defeated osinbajo. Don't underestimate that man.

Who is Makinde? Obasanjo is about to make the biggest political miscalculation of his life. He needs to read the book "Finishing Strong" by Steve Farrar maybe he'll change his ways for the better before it is too late for him!

Oppositions are uniting to do what exactly? So, Tinubu is a threat to everyone of them. How can a united opposition maintain harmony because too many bosses and leaders are there, and discordance is the only result amongst them, because I can't see anything tangible or reasonable to be excited by them, because they're going to just send the country back 50 times.

They're strengthening Tinubu with their useless moves.

No coalition will happen the ship has sailed already

Let everybody go to the field and campaign for votes the best candidate will eventually win

And besides it's still the turn of the south Atiku is only giving one last kick to his dead presidential ambition

WHAT a WASTE of TIME here, jus like building TOWER of BABYLON

Re: Opposition Unity Push Puts Amaechi’s VP Slot Under Fresh Pressure by mrkia(m): 10:28am On Aug 18
Rubbish cheesy the moment I sighted Obasanjo as one of the brains behind the push for this consolidated opposition I know the whole thing is nonsense.

Imagine saying Obasanjo is working with the opposition which is working to to have Atiku as the sole opposition Presidential candidate huh huh

That would be suicide if Atiku try such.
Stick with what you have to avoid ruining your chances
What do you think Atiku has to lose if he change Amechi, he lost many time and this time may not be difference. Amechi can not deliver any state for him or amasse any vote for Atiku. Even in 2015, when Amechi was Governor of River state what contribution is river vote to Buhari winning.

I think Atiku should look out for who can work well with as VP if he won, because the 80% of his vote is coming from North. But Makinde can deliver Oyo for him and if he manage Osun resentment for APC very well, over 25% requirement is guarantee .

No need for Atiku to join with Obi, because Obidents won't vote for him, let Obi reduced APC vote in SS & SE. Atiku just needs a VP in south that can deliver 25% in some southern state

Lol. Atiku has no problems with funding as far as 2027 is concerned. A lot of APC governors will secretly fund his campaign. Someone just donated anonymously some few days ago and even Jide Sanwo-olu was accused by APC faithfuls to have funded Atiku in 2023. A lot of governors are secretly fed up with Tinubu's high-handedness and are wary of him after the Fubara debacle. They will be serious horse-tradings in 2027. All that talks about not winning polling unit is becoming stale. Tinubu lost Lagos and Osun but still won the election because a majority of his votes (5.6m) came from outside his region. Amaechi has a vast political network that goes beyond winning "polling units". The Buhari bloc loves him. Underrate him at your peril.
Guy , the way you confidently write rubbish is alarming.

In as opposition is 2 or more parties, its already a failure. APC will win.

The only opposition that can work is a united one, like the 2015 election opposition.

For 2027, the opposition needs to bring Atiku, Obi, makinde, Amaechi, kankwaso under one umbrella.

But opposition should not win just for the sake of changing government. What will they do differerntly? That has never been stated clearly and articulaltely. Not even by Obi, who has been going around talking everywhere a microphone is available.

Left to me, if there is no clear economic strategy, corruption reduction measure etc, I will vote APC, becuause even though I am not a fan of APC or Tinubu, I'll rather the devil I know than the one I don't know.

Tinubu has done well in:
Road rehabilitation and reconstruction nationwide
Oil and Gas Reforms, the best in over 30 years
Exchange rate stability
Improved electricity generation and availability
Tax Reforms
Trade Surplus
Enabling Dangote refinery to stabilise operations
Solid Mineral Reforms
NELFUND
Petrol subsidy removal - as painful as it has been, its the right thing to do for Nigeria's long term survival. Wasting money burning a fossil fuel was ruinous, particulalry as we needed to borrow for the subsidy.
Exchange rate subsidy removal - as painful as it's been, its also the fight thing to do for Nigeria's long term survival. Too much business was based on getting dollars from CBN and selling on the parallel market.

The opposition have no strategy or economic blueprint that surpasses all these, so what exactly do they want to come and do in power?

The opposition politicians that gave Nigeria prosperity, peace and security with cheap petrol, cheap dollars, low debt burden for 16 years before Tinubu begged Buhari to make Jonathan a one term president?

Or you have some other opposition in mind ni?

Atiku/ Obi is the only winning combination with Makinde on the ballot to split votes from the south west.

Any other thing is a waste of time..

I fairly agree with most of your point.
But this may as well raise a different campaign slogan against him by the ruling party as they may consider him a betrayal and desperado
