Neither Kwankwaso nor Atiku can stand Buhari anywhere on this face of earth..Be it in APC, PDP or even KOWA.....Kwankwaso, then PDP candidate used Buhari's picture to campaign for his reelection bk in 2011.

yea! u are right, but if pple are impatient and decide to try kwankwaso and compare what he did in his second term in kano, and pmb unstable one year, but in case of fight against corruption and insurgency nobody can stand pmb.

seyi will never be the governor if he continues playing the game the way he is playing it.

You think So? but i doubt it...Til den, God Spare our Lives...

talktonase:
Jerry Gana is from Niger state.

Agreed

PDP- "the largest political party in Africa" is indeed so "large" that it needs 3 Chairmen to lead it.
Congratulations PDP for this unique political innovation.

PDP has won elections yes in their former footholds. But how many of d opposition's foot hold has d PDP been able to sway? despite d suffering? ZERO: 0. PDP is just a sad story. The mention of PDP to Nigerians is the mention of poverty, criminals, impunity, no regard for d law, the mafia, looting. PDP cant win majo elections in Nigeria again except they change deir name. Even if d pope and muslim head are their running candidates

you better stop deceiving yourself PDP is an household name even in the north. What leads to their lost in 2015 election was the internal crisis that was not well managed. If not for that PDP would have won that election .

Dakwambo/any candidate from the southwest that got political clout..not fayose please!

pdp should do their homework perfectly,they should carry out a campaign of calumny against buhari's personage in the middlebelt using the fulani herdsman brouhaha...

Southwest are the most intelligent voters we have in nigeria(i'm igbo) just have to say the truth..if buhari fails to meet upto expectation before 2019..southwest votes are not sure for him..except apc decides to rig! Pdp won't be dull to let that happen.

They would be wide spread voters apathy in se/ss..they are already tired of nigeria..pdp would trounced buhari in both regions with massive rigging

buhari would be left with just northwest votes and a chunk of north east..

Dakwambo please start using the social media..let more people know bou' your personality!

CSTR6:
Given the dismal leadership of the buhari administration, and the frustration and poverty in the air, i expect Nigerians to display passion that even money cannot buy. Atleast, i am certain, the usually docile SE would come out and vote enmass this time. I also expect the SS and the middle-belt to do much better in 2019.
Though i think the northern almajiri hordes both of minor and legal ages would be a bit too much to overcome.

Combination of SE/SS even with 100% turnout cannot win u an Election in Nigeria of today...U need to build alliance but then you hate every other persons...All the best though...

ramdris:
When d time come, u will know... it will b base on his performance...we are wiser now..

The SW will always determine who is gonna b the President base in their kind of politics that is quite dynamic compare to other regions.. the east and North always go one direction during election an that's why the SW who can swing anywhere will always come handy for any candidate to woo...

I think you are wrong, it is the North that has the determining factor because of their numerical strength, high political consciousness and political sophistication. it has been like that right from the first republic. In 1999 when the SW presented Olu Falae and the North presented Obasanjo who won? In 2003 the SW had to drop the idea of presenting their candidate and follow the North and Obasanjo won for the second term. If the SW had presented their own candidate to contest against Buhari in 2015, Buhari could have still won the election. Ask yourself why PDP recently zone its 2019 presidential candidate to the North? because that is the only way of increasing its chances of winning the elections. One important but neglected problem the south has is disunity, it is very common to hear an average southerner saying I am from SW, SE SS but a Northerner will say I am from the North irrespective of whether he is from the NW, SE or NC.

Mufasa27:
Though it's to early to talk about the 2019 polls, but I think atiku stand a better chance, he just needs to re-trace his steps and come back home (pdp).

Atiku made a great mistake by joining APc, if he had joined another party entirely. Buhari wouldn't have won .

Bnladan:
Prof. Jerry Gana is from Borno state

Believeitornot, JG is from N/S in Lavun Local Gov't area at Kutigi. His homevilla is Busu at Doko side, Dokoword in LLG NigerS.

The yorubas are the most educated tribe. They always play the game of politics well and when it favors them, people I'll start calling them saboteurs. Now for buhari to be defeated, the opposition needs to file out ribadu. He is a progressive who I'll mk sure money were spent for wat they were meant for. He is educated and can command votes from few northern States, enlightened yorubas and ss and se. But the opposition will not hear. They I'll say he is a child n I'll bring people ladened with corruption to contest thinking Nigerians still think like in d past.

Any volunteer from the avengers will beat him hands down,left-right,front-back,up-down,sideways,spiritual-physical.

How some people put things in public forums as if we're all kids, southwest that vote olu falae in 1999, obasanjo in 2003 and osibanjo in 2015 are not tribalistic in politics.sometimes it's better to ignore how some people reason.

Why sounding as if you don't know how to read before commenting
Even so you neglected 2007 and 2011 when in both cases there was variance in party.

I am a resident of ibadan hence u can't school me on Oyo's Politics... It is Never a Party thing in OYO, it is mostly about the candidate/individual... Do u know as at today, SDP candidate, Seyi Makimde is already assumed as the governor-in-waiting for 2019 elections?

thank you jare my brother not only in Oyo in south west generally if fayose can defeat fayemi in ekiti after what fayemi did in ekiti that tells you that people no longer vote party but individual.

CSTR6:
smh.
Because you managed to serve northern interests this time in buhari emergence, somehow, you believe the SW are now legitimate power brokers.
lol. You must think Nigerian politics began in 2015.
Why didn't OBJ lose without south western support?

Some of them have short memory.

Jesusloveyou:
even this first year of pmb that is assume to be a worst year is stil better than 6yrs of free flow of corruption under ineffectual buffoon, even if election holds today, nobody can stand pmb

Nwanem na true talk, for how nobody alive can defeat pmb, bring atiku, kwankwaso together pmb will still beat them hands down

@poster you're very right. but I don't see anybody amongst the northern leaders that defeat buhari come 2019. Except If maybe fashola defect #myopinoin.

I didn't say they would win. They would lose not because their numbers are not good enough to win especially when you consider how poor buhari is, but because the fight is never going to be fair.
A better yoruba candidate hypothetically running against buhari will lose woefully even with all your so-called bridge. That is the power of the north.
Whoever they support, even if he has a goat brain would win. Has nothing to do with alliance, just how the political balance is currently stacked.

bettercreature:
Like the popularity of GEJ droped in the SS/SE abi?You better forget it if Buhari kill all of us today he'd still win 2019 election beside to be Nigerias president you must have the support of the northern and south western people
Those SS/SE have never have a say in Nigerias politics and it will always be so as they were exposed during the 2015 election when they gave 95% of their vote to GEJ,no election can ever be worse than that

Please take note of these facts:

Buhari won the last election with only 2.7 million votes.

Jonathan lost a lot of votes from the SE (in 2015 relative to 2011) because of low voters' registration, and poor voters' turn out on election day. I'm not saying he would have won if the turn out in the SE was maximal.
Also, hope you remember that it took Ọhaneze a lot of time to adopt Jonathan. They agreed he failed Igbos, but only adopted him finally because Buhari was a worse option for Igbos.

Four of the North Central states voted for Buhari in 2015, compared to 2011 when they all voted for Jonathan. Buhari won with a greater margin in the NC than in the SW because his margin of win in the SW which was approximately 612k is less than the 678k with which he won in only Niger and Kwara combined.

Finally, South west only gave Buhari about 57% of their votes (2.4 million votes) while Jonathan had 43% (1.8 million). The total SW votes for Buhari is just a little more than the votes Kano alone gave him.
I pointed this out for you and others to stop bragging how SW will always determine the swing of election results. Even if you guys had given Jonathan an additional 1 million vote, altogether making it 2.8 million votes (ie 67% of your total votes), Buhari would have still won. It's to let you know how not-too-significant the SW contribution to Buhari's victory was.

anybody will defeat him

only maywhether can defeat buhari

nothing like pdp as household name, pdp as a party is a bad market, their major cause of their loss was simply buhari factor, buhari himself is a household name, buhari was like a movement, for this reason, nobody can defect pmb even in hi

Me oooh

If you have the stomach to bear it, then here is the truth, No shaking for baba till he completes his 2nd term, except he says he says he is not going or God takes him away. Buhari has tonnes of followers, even if he leaves APC and joins BBC, a lot of people would still flow him. I dont see any credible opposition to him in Nigeria at the moment

Unsad:

Man keep quiet about this northerners shii , have northerners not been voting for him before he eventually won against a Mismal govt headed by GEJ. Truth is if things continue this way till 2019 , he'll be booted out the office democratically and no northerners bloc votes will stop his ouster

it was votes from south west and north central that determine the winner of 2015 election because north west and north east has always been buhari stronghold
