MzJackBaueress:
Is there any hausa/fulani politician who is stronger than General Muhammadu Buhari in terms of popularity and intergrity? I don't think so!

PDP will fail in 2019.

I rather prefer APGA to be the major opposition party than PDP

kelvyn7:
Jonathan could contest if GMB fails at d end of 2018, especially if the GMB's government is even worse than what we have right now. its politics, anything can happen

Sweetguy25:
Buhari's popularity will be terribly battered before 2019 because of his poor performance as president.
The people of north central and south west won't give him that luxury again.

-First and the bitter truth is this:it would be very,very difficult for a south southerner to rule Nigeria again for a very long time.These are my reasons and they are not at all based on primordial affiliations:
-Jonathan was a very bad product.He was far from the best d ss could have given us but we can only judge from what we see.He was bad not just in steering the ship of d nation but in d kind of ultra sectional politics he played.
-GEJ also ended up almost destroying,if not destroyed a once formidable party.
-In as much as he got substantial support from the se, I doubt greatly if d se would be ready to form any kind of alliance again with a ssoutherner as d arrowhead , having seen how poorly GEJ can perform and his leadership deficit.
-For the ss to ever dare to rule this nation again,it must form an alliance with other regions.We must all admit,as painful as it may sound,that GEJ rise was a product of circumstances,it would be difficult seeing any of the 3 major ethnic groups acceding to a minority tribe ruling again;@least till it has gone round the three again.
-The ss itself is not a contiguous group as many think.There are many ethnic nationalities who congregated on GEJ because he represented an aspiration to which they too might one day fulfil.It would be impossible for these other nationalities to approve of any other person from the same ethnic group as GEJ, talkless of him himself being a President again.
-Lastly GEJ staying power for d yrs he ruled and d support he got from some for his re election was due to the patronage system,the favors and largesse he could dispense as a president.Remove these from him,his almost insignificant political base is laid bare and he would hardly be a torch bearer for his own ethnic nationality,talk less a region,not to mention a conglomeration of bigger ethnic groups that form a nation.
GEJ political career,am sad to state,may end up now being limited to his tag as a "statesman".I don't see him in the national space again.
