The image shows the result of the last election.

They need to consolidate on that.in 2011, Buhari(CPC) won 12 states while Ribadu(ACN) won 1 state(Osun State). Goodluck won the rest.

At worst case scenario, the 13 states won by CPC and ACN in 2011 combined should be maintained in the 2015 elections for victory.

The key question is whether Buhari can win Lagos,Ogun,Oyo,Ondo,Ekiti and Kwara which are all APC states anyway with the exception of Ondo and Ekiti ? If buhari wins the 4 APC states from the above that brings the total to 17 states .The entire south west apart from Osun state voted Goodluck Jonathan in 2011 so its shaky.

I dont see what Osinbajo is offering to secure the remaining states. Unless ofcourse APC wins Ondo and Ekiti which would give Buhari 19 states and more likely than not secure victory for him. EDO ,IMO and Nasarrawa states which were won by Goodluck in 2011 are now APC states and who knows if Buhari/Osinbajo can clinch those states ? If they do, that would see APC win 22 statess and surely secure victory. WILL Rivers state under Ameachi as APC Governor even vote for Buhari/Osinbajo ? That one na Wild Card State.

I would have prefered Rochas,Adams or Rotimi. But yet again what do i know? APC,Change is here. Time to end 15 years of PDP bondage

I also dont believe APC should waste resources campaigning in some states such as bayelsa. If they focus on the states discussed here i think it is the end of PDP. They shouldnt also campaign on twitter or nairaland, they should campaign to the pepper seller and okada riders cos these are the majority and the will stand under the sun for hours to cast their votes.

The same people calling for fresh faces(technocrats) with clean records will be the first to castigate them. What exactly do u people want? U want brilliant technocrats to come into politics for Nigeria to evolve yet Ure d first to criticise them when they are chosen.
U think a Yoruba man will prefer to vote a failure from the SS as a president than his kinsman with a clean record This choice is to lock down the south west!

I wonder o. The problem with Nigeria is with Nigerians. We are really a confused people.

They want technocrats like Pat utomi. Utomi contests, they dont vote him, Fola Adeola contests, they dont vote him. They want tested 'crooks'! I just wonder.

Ekiti and Ondo did not vote PDP. Ekiti people voted for For Fayose and against Fayemi not APC while Pdp came third in the Ondo gov election behind LP(Mimiko) and ACN( Akeredolu). Though Mimiko is now in PDP and that will definitely draw votes, I think APC still has a good chance of taking Ondo in a tight score. When the election comes around I still see the people voting the govs(as individuals) during the governorship election and then voting along Party lines during the presidential election.

I agree that APC should be cautious about SW....but do you think they are right to have seemingly abandoned SS completely or do you think SS people will vote for a ticket of Buhari and Osinbajo.

If APC were contesting just to be on the ballot, then a VP from the SS would have been OK because giving the VP slot to SS or SE will not guarantee success.

But if we are to take back Nigeria from PDP cabals, the right thing to do is to go SW. The votes from North and SW is enough to dislodge them.
And once we win the presidency, Amaechi and the other guys from the SS will SURELY get their dues.

btw who is yemi osinbajo



[size=15pt]Tel: 234-1- 4614016

Email: yemi.osinbajo@scp-law.com, yemiosinbajo@yahoo.com



Yemi Osinbajo is the senior partner at SimmonsCooper Partners. Yemi is a professor of law and a former attorney-general of Lagos State and Commissioner for Justice. He is also a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN). Yemi was educated at the University of Lagos, Nigeria (LLB, 1978) and the London School of Economics (LLM, 1980). He was admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of Nigeria in 1979. He has authored several books on civil procedure in Nigerian superior courts, rules of evidence and justice reform.



Yemi has 31 years of litigation experience including significant trial and appellate work. Yemi supervises the commercial litigation group at SimmonsCooper Partners (SCP). Yemi is regarded as one of the finest advocates in Nigeria. Yemi has conducted very important constitutional and precedential cases before the Nigerian Supreme Court. Some of these include fiscal disputes between the federating units and the federal government; disputes regarding the ownership and control of oil and gas resources; town and physical planning disputes between the federating units and the federal government; an international territorial jurisdictional dispute in the West African sub-regional court; shareholder disputes involving a multinational, private investors and state-owned investment corporations and energy disputes arising from multinational participation in power projects in Nigeria. In other cases, Yemi has advised and represented clients in a broad range of commercial and corporate issues including securities litigation, investments and divestments, joint ventures, oil block acquisitions, product liability, fiduciary duties of directors, intellectual property, and corporate valuations. He is also involved in statutory and regulatory appraisal representation before the legislature and federal and state agencies.



While in public office as attorney general, Yemi is credited with undertaking far-reaching significant judicial reform in Lagos State, addressing critical areas as judges’ recruitment, remuneration, training and discipline. In addition, he addressed access to justice for the poor by establishing appropriate institutions in the Office of the Public Defender (OPD) and the Citizens Mediation Centre (CMC). In honour of his contributions to legal reform and the development of law in Nigeria, a compendium of essays on Nigerian constitutional law was compiled. The authors of these essays were senior lawyers and law professors with a foreword provided by a past chief justice of Nigeria.


Yemi is a member of the International Bar Association and the British Institute of International and Comparative Law and has served in the Nigerian Body of Benchers and the Council for Legal Education of Nigeria. He is currently an independent director of CitiBank Nigeria and an ethics adviser to the board of the Africa Development Bank. He has also served in various capacities within the United Nations Organisation. Yemi speaks frequently at several commercial litigation events locally and internationally. He is actively involved in the pursuit of legal education reform in Nigeria.

I appreciate your thinking but winning the SW with Osinbajo is much more easier now than in 2011. In 2011, Buhari did not have the support of Tinubu, Fashola and all other APC politicians which he now enjoys. I am very sure that Osinbajo was nominated by Tinubu after Buhari rejected him for the slot. So, Tinubu and the rest APC governors will surely deliver the votes.

Going SS would have been much more difficult to sell to the Yorubas because the ticket does not guarantee them the presidency even in the next eight years especially when they have been marginalized by GEJ for the past six years. So, how do you convince them to troop out on election day?

All in all, I see this choice as the best option to defeat PDP.

To be honest, with this choice APC just lost it. BRF or Oshiomole would have been a formidable candidate. It is no brainer to know that a seating governor would have been a nightmare for the PDP and would be able to pull more votes than this Osinbajo selection especially from the SW.

2015 election would be an easy ride for PDP since these are the best (GMB & Osinbajo) APC could offer.

Congrats to you GMB for sticking with someone from the SW where the election will be decided.

PDP/GEJ now be like " ... shitting in their pants"
where was the South West when Bakare was Ribadu's running mate? Is this the first time a S/Westerner is running mate? If you keep playing this regionalism card, even those who wanted to vote Buhari in SE/SS will change their minds and as usual APC with their North/South-West ticket will lose to the otuoke fisherman who only has SS/SE to back him up.
