U think all Nigerians are as tribal as u are. What did d average yoruba benefit because Osibanjo was there. I love Yaradua and awolowo a lot. I'm neither a Muslim, Hausa or Yoruba.
So

If u don't know Obi kindly say so.
Sentiments aside he makes far more sense than even the current VP (usually depicting a man not in touch with reality while talking).
Have u listened to Obi or read his CV

One main reason this Govt failed was because they looked only to APC members. While they were supposed to bring everyone that has something to offer on board.

By the way who tribalism epp

After producing head of state thrice Katsina still has 75% poverty rate. So

Any one that can do the job should win jare.
If Atiku n Obi can't deliver we booth them out n choose another until we get it right)

Very smart decision from ATIKU
If Atiku Continues with this SMARTNESS, then winning 2019 elections would'nt be a problem
Even Though Peter Obi Never achieved any thing while in power during his tenure as the Governor of Anambra, Igbos and Easterners will still vote for him because Peter Obi is From the East!!
We already know that at least 55% of people who voted buhari during the last election are regretting it already, so we can admit that the reverse will be the case come2019.

Peter remains the best thing that happened to anambra state
Maybe you haven't been to anambra state that's why you made such submission

But you forgot both shagari and obj won massively in the north. Atiku is paper weight compared to PMB in that zone. Not even now that Buhari is the incumbent


The presidency understands more than you do that's why they are jittery over Atiku's emergence as PDP flag bearer.

Re: Atiku Picks Peter Obi As Running Mate by einsteine(m): 4:18pm On Oct 12, 2018
It is nonsense to think that picking someone from the South West would have given Atiku any inroad into the region. Yorubas who don't want to vote Atiku would not vote him even if he made their father the VP.

Besides, the huge number of non-Yorubas in the South West has always meant that the votes there would be split.

The thing is Ngozi Okonjo Iweala is more generally liked in Nigeria and also a prominent figure in the international scene. Educated people would have seen her as a step in the right direction. I mean those in the south west. If Obasanjo is willing to fully back Atiku then am sure at least 40% of the votes from the SW can be gotten. Let the south south and south east come out in their numbers to back Atiku. This has been the problem of the south south and south east. They sit at home during election day whereas in the north even the children are made to come out in their number to vote and yet we cry foul when it doesn't go our way. After following the primaries closely I am pained I didn't get a PVC
so Obasanjo that his daughter was defeated hands down in front of his house is the one that will deliver 40% vote.dreaming is allowed

That was because he was contesting against Jonathan that had SS and SE locked down, SW felt cheated cause they were no where near top 4 in Jonathan's govt. But in this case, both atiku and buhari are from the north. PDP traditionally gets sympathy from SS and SE but same can not be said of SW. If atiku had picked a VP from SW it would have countered the osibanjo/tinubu sentiment by reducing APC votes from say 65/70% to 50/55 while still having about 80/85% in SS and SE for PDP. But with was just played out it is a direct contest of survival between SW and SE meaning APC vote might just shoot up to say 80/85% instead of 65/70%. Again don't 4get SW has the highest number of registered voter next to NW. Buhari is NW, osibanjo is SW. If these permutations are to be correct then you should know PDP is trouble. PDP might eventually win more states but APC will have more counted votes and still meet the constitutional requirements.


As if only Yorubas live in South West.

Tinubu and Lagos were there in 2015, but APC beat PDP by only a narrow margin in the South West. There was voter apathy in South East as turn out was very low in that region in 2015. With this decision, SE got the motivation they need to turn out and vote where Atiku will win comfortably. PDP has also got the SS pretty comfortably. PDP will still get a good percentage of votes from the SW regardless. PDap has a good percentage of the North central states, and half the states in NE except Borno, Yobe and maybe Bauchi. APC can take the North West, but PDP will sure get a good number of votes in Kano. So putting all these into consideration, it was an excellent decision

I am from South West. But I can tell you that Atiku made a wise decision

You sound informed. Can you extensively tell me why, I'm from south east as in typical Igbo, but I feel SW VP would have been a great move...even if Atiku picks anini or Osama, the igbos I know will vote him for real.

Now can you kindly inform me why you think the alleged move was a wise decision....
Re: Atiku Picks Peter Obi As Running Mate by Lagzy12: 4:19pm On Oct 12, 2018
I am not impressed with this choice; I wish Atiku had chosen Ngozi Okonjo Iweala or Akinwunmi Adeshina. At last sha; I am still Atikulated even if Osama Bin Laden was chosen.

When people start their posts with I'm Yoruba or I'm from the SW or I'm a Yoruba muslim, they are actually Igbos. Yoruba people don't insert their tribes into their posts, this is what Igbos do

This na serious matter o. Given the obvious 100% SE votes(home and away), 80% SS votes, 30% SW and 45% Northern votes smells like victory to me.

I'm sure Yoruba elites would vote Atiku

This matter is seriously serious now for Buhari and APC

Lol. Jittery? They would have been more jittery with a kwankwaso candidacy. Atiku has seemingly lost both SWest and the core north with this selection. Save the date bro.

I would have loved him to pick VP from SW and enter an agreement with the SE to hand over power to them after his tenure.
As it's now, if he wins, then the dream of having a President from SE will remain a wish.

Well that's just my own opinion, I feel for that region Sha!
U can't really where u didn't sow.SE is his base. SW should try and vote him

I would've preferred Okonjo-Iweala anyways. She probably declined the position.


That was wise of her if it happened.

Where are you getting your analysis from please?

Who is contesting for president? Obi or Atiku?

Didn't they vote massively for Jonathan even when their son was a Vice?

And talking about the South west, PDP gained significantly in 2015 from the South west despite the fact that their son was not in the picture.

Be realistic bros. You are analysing based on your feelings
