lagos state and Ogun state is the only state APC can boast about in the SW. the remaining 4 state will be hotly contested.....

The SW is toss up. Look at recent osun polls

Rstc:
Pdp is a regional party for ipobs. Abi no be so?
Focus on your apc and leave the pdp for those with the breeding for it. Or come back when there is a pdp state in your region.
Clowns trying to play both sides. No shame at all.

Welcoming all parties is an act of sophisticated politics. Go ask GEJ about the result of taking SW with levity.

OP you are not far from the fact. SW will determine the winner in 2019. It is very easy to know how each party stand in each region, but SW is a close call. You dont expect buhari not to have 45-50% of the SW vote as his VP is from SW, the problem is a NE bloc vote for buhari will dwarf SS,SE,NC vote. That is the major problem. PDP cannot get block vote in SW. Maybe if they choose a SW VP. The 2019 will be very interesting. Atiku is a very hard candidate to sell to SW. The more APC can magnify the corruption myth about atiku during campaign, the harder it gets to win SW. A Kwamkaso would have been a better candidate. For those trolls I am yoruba christian before you start abusing because people do not share your views on a topic.

When Yoruba disagree with another Yoruba he will remain silent and not utter what you just said. We know how to tell each other apart from foreigners amongst us, who though speak fluent Yoruba but are not of our pedigree.

Find your level...

keep deceiving yourself.

in an unrelated discussion on the issue of restructuring someone with deep feet and knowledge in Nigerian history and politics told me that if Yoruba were to have a country for themselves they will end up directly impacting the political and geography of five West African countries and indirectly that of another one in the region. He shared that there is a co-joined destiny between Yoruba states and Hausa states that had its root in ancient times and that even in modernity that relationship had not been broken, to the extent Yorubas view those in the traditional Hausa states with a familiarity and acceptance not extended to anyone else. He said in Kano where he grew up there were Yorubas that had privilege above other Northerners in the native administration. For instance someone from Ibadan accorded more respect and treated muvh better than say another person from Yola or Zamfara.

You can brag and lie for Africa. Please enough of your bragging.

You are a weak personality.
So what if you are a Christian? Why do you need to explain yourself?

The pdp took the south west for levity for 16 years, and nothing happened.

Unless, the south west can offer bloc votes to atiku, then your support is useless.

We will still get votes there anyway.

You can't reap where you did not sow.

Y'all keep getting it wrong, there's nothing like Yoruba Christian or Muslim, I'm a Christian, half of my cousins are muslims, politics don't separate us, in fact, more often than not we share same political opinion, same with my friends. We only remember our religion during festive periods when we want to decide in who's home we want to celebrate.

Those silly Igbos know they just talk trash to display the hate they in heritages Freon their bigoted fathers.

limeta:
Nothing in this world would make Yoruba Christians vote for Buhari Yoruba Muslims can be fooling them selves talking about South West block vote

Yoruba Christians will vote Atiku to excite bigoted Igbos n Ipobs alike

I am also a Yoruba Christmas, father a Muslim my mother a Christian n I chose to go with Jesus but it’s only in my grave that PDP with Atiku Ebele etc will earn my vote. Any Igbo should feel free to wail him or herself to the grave, ko kan aye.

BabaRamota1980:
Political analysts are already outmatching one another in articles after articles, editorials after editorials, in a competition to present the Atiku campaign team with a step forward, a winning strategy that will end up with credits to the best contributor; possibly even an appointment as a Presidential Aide.

Each has a different style and approach but all without exception agree that no candidate, Buhari or Atiku, can win without SW influence. In other words, Yoruba can make or mar a candidate's march to victory.

This is significant!

In my own review it is hard for anyone not to notice what the Yorubas have systematically done in their region. In a sheer strategy of positioning for political strength against any party candidate they have thoroughly installed a unified and homogeneous political rulership in SW. All six states are under one party APC. This is dangerous for Buhari, even moreso for Atiku. Why do I say this?

SW is the only region in Nigeria histoically known to give a party a blanket victory at local and regional level but turn around and vote the opposition to victory at national level. So there is a danger to Buhari. He stepped on some toes in SW.

His lack of gratitude to Tinubu's role
The biased treatment Ife indigenes
The repeated invasion of Falae.

Yorubas are known to not frett an injustice, but wait patiently for the right time to strike and sink in their bottled up venom.

Buhari must not relax on the assurances of Tinubu to win SW, this is not 2015...he must correct his errors with Yoruba.

The biggest odd of winning the Presidency is with PDP's Atiku. Every field of consideration for him in SW is dimmed and voiceless. What this means is Atiku will need to sell himself as a Yoruba and raise appeal in SW.

That is evident here with Atiku. Where Yoruba views a person from Hausaland as an old ally, those from Adamawa had never been an ally historically, neither were they foes...our paths were just not in harmony. So for an Atiku from Adamawa to gain inroad in Yorubaland he will have to prove his Yorubaness. This is the bottomline why he must get a VP from SW and the hint is suggested uniformly by those busy analysing his next steps forward.

In whichever way it is viewed, Yoruba remain the Kingmaker in Nigeria.

A n'je nkan ko tan, eleyi tun ngbon owo e s'awo.
For us in the SW, there is no difference between Buhari and Atiku, Malo na Malo, North is North.
I see Buhari getting over 80% of the total votes cast in the SW, SW is playing for 2023, if you no know now you know.

Lol, so when someone doesnt agree with your opinion he is weak. I think you are the weak one, strong men respect the opinion of others. The guy is saying the truth, i am also a yoruba christian, atiku will be a hard sell.
