I spotted Ikengawo behind the Ndigbo elders that went to beg Buhari.

No one take that ugly bigot serious. Large head Ikengawo

Ikengawo:
It's safe to say that the APC movement is dead for the following reasons

1. Complete slowdown: The momentum the party once enjoyed is visibly over. This is primarily because it was initially a purchased momentum fueled by election dollars. Now that it's visible that the money has dried up ("If we were running an election based on funding, Jonathan has already won" - Rotimi Ameachi ChannelsTV), APC's online and offline presence has receded significantly.

2. Wrong Candidate: It's becoming obvious that APC is having an extremely hard time defending Buhari's health, record, age, qualifications and past. The relentless assault by PDP has been made easier by the fact that Buhari being a radical choice only appeals to very emotional and radical elements (as usual), that represent, as has been the case in all elections, no more than 33% of the Nigerian population. His supporters are typically male, poorer, and Muslim. APC is showing that it has a hard time extending past this demographic base despite efforts to 'humanize' buhari by introducing his family and photographing him smiling (which was rare before)

3. State Elections: APC not only has too few funds to support a national election, it is also being met with stiff competition at the state level. Tinubu now has to juggle with the possibility to losing everything his 'has' in the southwest, Amaechi is not likely to bring Rivers back for APC, Rochas enjoys a sizeable margin of popularity over his PDP competitor. Ogun is looking likely to go to PDP and Lagos is seeming like it's going to be the closest election in the state's history with Agbaje proving to be an extreme threat.

4. Disconnect with the North: While Buhari is a northerner, only the SW ACN wing of this party seems to be supporting him fully. The total silence of Rabiu Kwankwaso, Atiku, Murtala Nyako, Nasir El Rufai and the rest of the northern elements in the party comes from a suspicion of the ACN/Yoruba wing of the party after Bola Tinubu hoisted Buhari as the candidate despite the higher elect-ability of Rabui Kwankwaso. Kwankwaso has given the party funding and Sanusi the Emirship in fears that Sanusi would be the candidate against him, only to be taken by surprise by Tinubu and Buhari. Southern elements (Tinubu, Amaechi, Rochas) seem more enthused about a Buhari candidacy than the Northern elements in the party which shows a major disconnect within the ranks of APC.
