kwankwaso is a bankable candidate, last APC primaries he came in second after buhari, even when he just defected to apc. his geopolitical zone(northwest) has the highest number of registered voters followed by southwest. Been an educated man and an Engineer, who really dont get involved in immature political jabs. he needs a popular southern, business oriented or economics inclined Christian running mate. having been successfully governing an ethnically diverse, northern economic hub for 8 years without crisis or complains

WisdomFlakes:
Kwankwaso may be more popular in the North but not as competent as Dankwambo or Atiku. Saraki is on a wild goose chase so he is not even a real contender in my view. I don't know if Kwankwaso can be sold in the South though. Just my two cents.

IF THEY CAN SELL PMB, THEN KWANKWASO IS A MORE BETTER SELL IN THE SOUTH

THe problem with Kwankwaso is campaigning to the wrong audience

1 million people wearing red cap in Abuja for your declaration or winning a twitter poll means nothing in PDP primaries

Go and campaign to the delegates

Kwankwaso seems to prefer intimidating PDP into giving him the ticket than campaigning to the right audience. I worry about people with this type of behaviour

amaniro:



well I think, to beat APC they have to position it to SW becos SE SS will eventually vote whoever they choose.

Who are the 'they'? We are talking about PDP here, a SS/ SE leaning party. Igbos flatly rejected PMB due to their perception that he is bigoted, remember? It was Yoruba people that 'sold' and accepted Buhari down south. Kwankwaso is also perceived as being bigoted too by a significant segment of Igbo and South-south people due to some of his past utterances and actions. In any case, let's wait and see how it all plays out.

This is just an online poll but a blur picture of what's obtainable.


Saraki is wasting his time.

Atiku is wasting his time

Kwankwaso doesn't have the whole North to himself.

APC have the North in marriage.

And with more acquisition of the Eastern states, those votes will cover up for anywhere President Buhari shared with Kwankwaso in the North.


Final point, Kwankwaso is also wasting his time!

Kennydoc:


Not sure South East will want to vote for Kwankwaso. He hates Igbos almost as much as Buhari, if not more. He's a closet Islamic fundamentalist.

fergie001:

And you think the political class will let that kind of person?impossicant......

Kwankwaso or Atiku will get the ticket.......

And I think buhari will get for his party too....

Then we head for live debates,and Nigerians will decide who has a better handling of the nation's present wahala......

The bitter truth is, PDP have a better chance with Kwankwaso.
My preferred candidate remains Dankwambo but Kwankwaso is more saleable in the north.
Anyway, whoever PDP decides on becomes my candidate.

For me the simple calculation in picking PDP's presidential candidate should be not to leave Kano state open, remember that Kano state produced the highest number of votes in the last election for APC, so if the PDP are serious, they should pick their candidate from there if they pick from elsewhere APC and Buhari will just stroll in to kano and come out with 3 million votes this time which can take up to 10 states for PDP to cover.

fahren:
Kwankwaso is currently leading the PDP's major presidential candidates Atiku Abubakar, Bukola Saraki and Sule Lamido in an opinion poll on Twitter.

adanny01:


In addition, APC has Jagaban to deliver atleast the largest voting state in the south or the 2nd largest vote in the country.

I see APC coasting with victory.

Yes, APC will lose states and barely win with a narrow majority in the senate.

He doesn't hate Igbos as much as Buhari does. He awarded contracts to Igbos during his tenure as a gov. There's a place in Kano that Igbos are in surplus they call it either Enugu city or so

Someone like Pat Utomi
