Mark my words

ATIKU Picking a VP frm SE won't make any change to the massive voting he's going to get from that zone. Anything to get the President Buhari of Daura outta office is welcome.

Let him pick from SW and divide the SW APC voters. SE/SS will determine the winner and of course it will go the way of PDP
so for your mind na only SW sa fit be VP? and the SE will shut � and watch ..........am sorry for you guys

SE will never go for APC. It's either PDP or APGA over there. I'm not sure Atiku has to worry much about losing the SE.

This doesn't make sense.

Saraki will return as senator and will continue as Senate President. SGF goes to SE.

VP goes to SW.


Hopefully they are intelligent and pick someone who has great experience, education and has served in high capacity.

I would even like if they looked at a SW military retired general
Sw vp as per that they have contributed what to pdp?

This will be excellent but the jealous spoilers of Nigeria politics will perform their act of perfidy. I will prefer he chooses a Yoruba as running mate as long as APC is sent packing.
This is the.most foolish comment i have read.so you think the igbo politicians wil just stand back and watch.you think we are used and dump abi?

mumu posts like this is why I seldom read Nairaland comments...

Atiku vs Buhari in NW and NE will be a win for Buhari. NC is like 55 to 45 in Atiku's favour...SW is like 55 to 45 in Buhari's favour...SS and SE will be like 80 to 20 in Atiku's favour...But SS and SE combined won't cancel Buhari's lead in NW and NE...

In the NE, we are talking of states like Yobe, Bauchi, Borno, etc which are pro-Buhari states.
Pro buhari indeed.you will soon see that ne is ne and nw is nw.

What are you thinking?Speak to the north easterners.
This is a first for them.They are tired of one north.they also want to produce a president.
Madam,do things according to statistics and existing records.in the north east,he is only popular in adamawa and taraba and will win there narrowly.bauchi,gombe,borno and yobe only know buhari and no other.he will get destroyed in the northwest.north central is 50/50 but apc have more advantages here.
He will win ss/se with reduced margins.

The votes of the north east will equal that of ss/se.note,the people here dont like coming out to vote and with two northerners contesting,expect fewer voters.many pdp stakeholders here will not commit fully to atiku like in cross river.

You still dont understand my point, for me It's of no use to feed a SW candidate for VP because it will be counter productive, SW vote is will be 50/50 or even 60/40 in favour of PDP, and again SW can not be trusted because of there history
Hahaha. I agree that the politics of southwest is very dynamic and sometimes unpredictable but I am still telling you that rallying over 10 million people behind a PMB because of this political chess game by the southwest will be made a fait accompli once PDP doesn't take southwest cheesy
Those APC geniuses just served PDP a Master stroke.
Once PDP chooses a non Southwesterner, the campaign will be taken to the Yoruba electorates as a gang up against SW's quest for the Presidency in 2023.
Watch out how everything including the kitchen sink will be thrown at Alhaji Atiku the moment he chooses a non Southwesterner with their power of the media.
I sincerely pray for wisdom for Atiku
Re: Who Will Be The Best Running Mate Of Atiku Abubakar? by yoribo: 11:45pm On Oct 07, 2018
My candid opinion, in Nigerian National politics Igbos are not yet in the picture. Atiku picking from SE or SS as running mate will be a bad market for PDP.
1. Buhari is no 1 hater of Igbos, and the Igbos know that, even if Buhari drops Osibanjo and takes any person in the SE, Igbos will not vote him and APc.

2.SS and SE are naturally PDP

3.Yorubas are dangerous politicians and highly tribalistic they always want their interest represented. despite the economy does not favor any body if Atiku picks running mate from SS or SE they will support Buhari because of Osibanjo.

4. Igbos wants their businesses to pick up again so they will vote for PDP whether they have VP slot or not.

5. so best bet for Atiku is pick Running mate from SW, Probably from from Abiola's family, Awolowo or any prominent person

Thinking politically, SE is sown up for PDP such that a vp from hence will not make a significant impact.
And this goes for SS. MB is in the bag as well.
The SW is the battle-ground in the south where they need to face Tinubu frontally and i see the APC crumbling.
PDP's non-challant approach to Ekiti and Osun elections not-withstanding, they
had a good showing.
They only need a vp bait to have the region sown-up.

Considering the battle at hand it will be most ideal to choose his running mate from the Southwest in order attract the southwest people since Lagos remains a battleground and young woman like Abiola Rinsola who just defected from APC in order to endear himself to Nigerian youths and indicate his interest in fulfilling of affirmative action for elective political positions for women.

Atiku already has the SS and SE locked down but voter apathy in the SE may make them not come out to vote and even if he wins the region, he may not have the numbers to win an already inflated NW vote for the dullard.

SW is a bad option cause it's a 50-50 thing. Their votes would be divided. Many of them want buhari out but are sympathetic to tinubu, While some hate tinubu. The PDP won't do well there so they should not risk it cause it'd be like throwing jewel to swine (not calling the SWesterners swine though before someone misconstrues my intention) they won't appreciate it.

I'm from the SS but honestly I'd prefer the vp slot to go to Peter Obi from the SE. Okonjo is a good option but the APC smear campaign and propaganda on her is yet to fully clear off many foolish Nigerians heads.

Only the sane ones know the APC mischieve and those ones are few

I hope the PDP takes this advise as they almost fell into the Saraki or Tambuwal presidential pit. It'd have been a death knelt for them. The major competitors there to me were Kwankwaso and Atiku.


Bros u too gwt sense very good analysis the best contenders were kwankwaso nd atiku anytin less of thoes would have being suisidal to the defeat of APC

Picking a running mate from the south east would be the best option as the Sw would be a 50-50 tin as Correcyly analysed by u. Anytin less than this would undermine their efforts in winning the presidential election come 2019

Bring Ngozi and a billion bottles of world best colognes won't be enough to cover the stench from the heists she supervised under GEJ. So if una no like Atiku,make una force Ngozi on him and watch his ambition go up in flames of mockery even before 2019.
Yea the APC govt really came for her head obviously, there were some allegations made then but non yet to be substantiated. Am not saying anyone is a saint but her southern appeal is substantial. By the way she is a female.

Look whose talking, as if A PC did any better. She supervised a heist and didn't get burned eh?? Her name didn't even come up once in EFCC's books. Stop spinning this sh*t. It ain't good for your health.

You have a point but considering SW must be divided (due to obvious reasons) they is really no reason to kill the voting enthusiasm in your base down south (SE|SS). I hope they pick someone like okonjo who has southern appeal most especially been a proven administrator.

Okonjo Iweala!!!

She has global contacts.
She is Igbo but from the South South.
She would galvanize female votes.
She is a super technocrat.
She has worked with Atiku before.
Don’t forget her husband is from Abia State,Unuahia precisely..
