Mimiko, Fayose, FFK, Deji Adeyanju and co are from where

At a time SE politicians were decamping to APC left right centre, the Yorubas there stood their ground.

You must be a very forgetful person.

Chiwude:
One can't his cake and have it. We rub your back when you rub ours. Ask Shagari, Obasanjo and Yar'adua and you will understand that we are no pushovers. Ndigbo are not in the business of shouting that is why you didn't see us complain even when suffering under GEJ in appointments, unlike you Yoruba known for noise. Our greatest regret in that election was trying not to go extreme and cut ties with our SS brothers all in the name of standing by GEJ. Had we just forget the brotherhood as you unstable Yorubas are known for, we would be enjoying the drivers seat in Buhari's government by now.
GEJ despite our support gave the north everything but we still stood by him. The Yorubas would have shaked the table as we see with your rants for VP had it not gone your way.

rahazaqa:
So you can now defend an Hausa man? An Hausa man is now your saviour not Nnamdi Kanu anymore? lol

gurnam:


The rants of a pained loser full of regrets.

You used your Biafra rubbish to disturb Nigerians and you will suffer the consequences for a long time as no one trust your motive for power again

gurnam:


Stop lying biko.
Stop giving the impression that igbos betrayed GEJ after he claimed they were his political backbone.

diebuhari1:
Yes, most Igbos will never dream of voting for Buhari even with a gun to their forehead, but there are other parties and also an option of boycotting the elections if PDP betrays us and that would be a disaster for Atiku and PDP.
For 16 years of PDP rule, none of the top 2 positions went to the SE despite the unflinching support from the region, now some people are still suggesting rubbish.
I don't know why Yorubas want to reap where they did not sow

Umueme:
Didnt even bother to read the post,but one thing is certain if SW gets the VP slot then we give Bubu our vote and get 2023 presidency. We aint gonna fall for the gimmicks of the afonjas no more. VP and senate pres. from one region.....

But hey! what do i know....

I can see right through your pains

Advocate for a lost candidate who happens to be Fulani and has turned you to his slaves and zombies which were things you called us Yorubas earlier

Karma is brutal

alexvatt:
The same way the presidency belongs/zones to the North so the Vice Presidency belongs/zones to the South West. Picking V.P from another zone will be a political suicide for Atiku. And it will cost him dearly.

NotJustOkay:


SM is where every fools can insult their father. I wish you knew who you were talking to.

No ibo man dare come out to vote in my polling unit. No ibo man dared to vote against buhari in the north in 2015 even though your population in the north was 11m according to ohaneze.

waveman2:
The SE have a strong case but I personally feel that he should pick his vice from the SW. After his one ternure the presidency will go to the SE. That is fair enough.

Bolustical:


So, who did the SW vote for in 2003, 2007 and 2011 Presidential elections? APC abi?

You people are just politically senile.

gwanggaeto:


Playing smart, which one is North, Have you forgotten Atiku is from North East...?....and Buhari from North west?....when it suit your agenda, you call it one north....We are smarter than this you know....If PDP want victory, they should do the needful ...North central is the decider.... They should focus their campaign there as well as Northeast and some part of Northwest like Kano for get some reasonable vote...south west votes is always divided...

EternalTruths:



You are a political illiterate for making this comment.


Atiku don't need the Yoruba votes to win if the NC, NE, SS and SE vote massively for him.


The 14m registered voters in SW are 50% non indigenes.


The 18m registered voters in the NW are 30%-40% non indigenes.



Atiku will divide NW/SW with Buhari and carry the day in NE , NC, SS & SE

tochukwuifediba:
Vice Presidency must come to South East or Buhari continue

dazzlingd:


All yorubas voted Ambode and all igbos voted Agbaje leading to a difference of 100k... Lol, how does that sound in your ear.
Who taught you set theory, don't be too naive with your poor permutations...so Agbaje had no Yoruba supporters in Lagos?
I was only reading the comments but could not stand one with a dump analysis like this that I had to comment.
Believe it or not, igbos have no political relevance in Lagos, most of them disappea to their villages during elections. The few igbos left plus the yorubas gave agbaje his votes yet he lost.

Femi adesina is a bomb bro....
he will bring confusion to the minds of gullible Yorubas.
who will be at a cross road...on who to vote for between him and buhari...
I tell you ...he will win with that choice.

lasmile:


Well that's your cup of tea, all I know and believe is that Buhari national development agenda or plan is zero.

Atiku should be given a chance

Daboomb:



God forbid, to give Atiku, a criminal, our Presidency!

There are better choices in Moghalu, Ezekwesili, Sowore, Donald Duke, e.t.c .....even when Buhari is a 'No-No'.

Daboomb:


The bolded statement above, is why all Nigerians conclude that the Igbos are still politically naive and as a result, are always at the shirt end of the stick!
Your Political decisions are always dictated by your HATRED and ANGER against Yorubas.... leading to your repeated failures.

You think Yorubas are gullible yet they have outclassed you times without number, in the Political equation.
You think they can be confused yet they are not the one in the current quandry of who should be V.P of Atiku.

Let me borrow you sense, Omo Yiibo:
Until any party can present anybody (even if it is a Yoruba) that is more intelligent than Osinbajo, Yoruba votes will roll with Osinbajo.
Yorubas may not like Buhari (Fulani herdsman) but we all know that Osinbajo is the real brain behind this Govt.
Everytime Buhari is on sick-leave (and Osinbajois in charge), that is when the economy picks up, that is when issues are resolved (ND), e.t.c because everybody recognises his honesty of purpose and intelligence.

On the other hand, PDP is a rogue party, supported by rogues Yiibo elements (criminals and them are like 5 & 6) and now, to seal their fate, they have chosen a Wanted Criminal as their Presidential candidate! PDP/Atiku combination IS FINISHED, irrespective of where his V.P comes from

(Note: A Northerner is always a Northerner, be it Atiku or Buhari or IBB, they always put the Northern interest first and foremost).

Mujtahida:

Don't play this politics of tribe and ethnic group. It's the norm but don't get into it.

So long as this politics of tribe and ethnic group continues along the lines we have it now Igbos will never get what they want. Can't you guys see it. The numbers are like magic now and the Yorubas and Hausa Fulani use it to play you guys like a dog chasing it's tail. The best bet for the Igbos is to stop running along this road and push for an alternative whereby local politics takes precedence in all ramifications over national politics such that the presidency becomes an empty basket.

The best bet of the Igbos is to strongly push for a restructured Nigeria whereby the centre is drastically reduced in significance. Atiku has dangled the carrot of restructuring and many are buying into it. I am a strong advocate for restructuring but I don't think Atiku will do it in the way it is thought. What he might do is to devolve more power to the states than they currently have. But even that is a significant gain. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a step.

ModsareChevres:


Facts are stubborn...

Left to SE politicians, PDP would have since collapsed into APC.

kotv:


Yoruba votes are very predictable as of late. SW votes wherever Tinubu tells them to vote. What transpired with Ambode shows that. He was continuously praised by yoruba as the best governor in Nigeria and the second Tinubu said otherwise, Yoruba did as well. The same way we've seen yorubas say on this site repeatedly they reject pdp simply because tinubu says so. Even with Osun defeats your comments on they vote based on performance. We are all aware majority of Yoruba will vote APC because Tinubu says so hence the focus for SW should be on the non-indigenous as he does not control them as he controls the indigenous. The votes from the non-indigenous would be counted as the SW zone, again that's a fact. I highly highly doubt SW delegates are the contributing factor to Atiku win. The North, SE and SS voted for him as well. If I remember correctly there was even an article about SE votes towards his winning PDP presidential slot. Wike has no strength on influencing anything, I don't know why you deceive yourself that he does. Anyway, the unpredictable zone right now is middle belt hence, I keep emphasizing he should focus on gaining their votes rather than wasting his time on yorubas. The middle belt has always been the deciding factor in every presidential election.

Humility017:


Babe I understand your point....I can honestly tell you're right in some way.

but you see...buhari is like that monkey you can give a palm wine but later start having troubles when you wanna take back the cup from him.

we just have to do everything to retire the old man come next year.

Sanchez01:
I mentioned this some few days ago. The VP of the PDP can only make sense if it comes from the SW. The SE is pro PDP and Buhari would have a tough time there. A SE VP means sudden death for Atiku in the SW even though the SS will be divided and keenly contested.

I hate to say this but the SW is a major stakeholder in the scheme of things in this country. The SW has far more electoral value than the SE.

symbolofhope:
The fact remains that no igbo man will ever rule this country... You'll continue to be slaves to the north and south west

safarigirl:
South East did not boycott any election in 2015.....if Atiku picks a SW VP, Nigeria will see what a boycott looks like from SE......bear in mind, the more people do not show up to vote, the easier rigging will be.

Everybody I have spoken to is of the opinion that Atiku should get a VP from SE, and everyone I have spoken to is from the SW. The deciding region in this election will be the North Central. South West is APC, they should get Osibanjo, South East is PDP, they should get the VP slot
