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.

Lol.
And you think Buhari will not also get votes from the south East?
Or you think Buhari ministers and political appointees in the south east will not also work for their boss.

Buhari has Obiano fully on his side now and it will be an interesting battle even in that Anambra state.


Atiku will lose north completely now because the northerners don't even want to have anything to do with the Igbo's.


if the north doesn't want anything to do with Igbos can u blame them when they say Biafra

if Nigeria is to truly exist then the north must learn to accept Igbos

but that's even if ur right

Will people in the North vote for Atiku with an Igbo Vp?

What about people in the west?

They will leave Osibanjo and vote for Obi?

There will be a block vote for buhari in SW...

Atiku has lost it.... Wrong calculation.

What about the middlebelt? Definitely not Buhari.

You have spoken well. The election will be a tough one but Atikwu can't win 2/3(24 out of 36) of the state as required in the constitution.

Go and read your constitution well.

Nobody is required to win 2/3 of states.

They are required to win a plurality of votes and at least 25% votes in 2/3 of the states. He would definitely win 25% of the votes in all 19 states of the North for starters.

All these Yoruba half smart ppl think Atiku is mumu. The way these guys started agitating for VP baffles me. Their plan was to cause voter apathy in SE if SW get VP and they will still sheepishly follow Thieefnubuu to vote APC.

All these their online ranting is just a painful one as Atiku took d right step.

NE + SE+ SS+ NC is greater the SW + NW


Atiku has won already

And you think SE votes will make atiku a winner? With this, theres nothing like split votes in SW. Buhari is winning SW with 80%.

Why did Buhari not win South-west with 80% in 2015 when everyone was swayed with the CHANGE slogan?

Is it now that people are tired of Buhari all over that you expect him to get a higher percentage in the SW? Be more reasonable bro.

To all those who think a running mate from the SW will make a significant difference please consider the following

1. SW usually votes for whoever they think will present a progressive agenda for Nigeria not because of tribe etc. In 2015, PMB was voted for in the SW because we thought he would restore some sanity to the system and not because of Prof Osinbajo per se.
2. SW votes have always been split 60/40 between opposition and PDP regardless of who the candidate is. Even in 2015 when PMB won, the vote was still split 60/40 between apc and pdp. Its not going to be any different this time around.
3. Even when Obasanjo a SW candidate was running, the vote was still split 60/40 at the presidential election.

In 2019, the SW vote will still be split 60/40 is what I think regardless of who the VP candidate is.
May God bless you this reasoning.. I'm surprised people are saying that SW will not vote for PDP because the VP is not from SW

Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones:

Northwest =18,505,984

Southeast =8,293,093.

Southwest = 14,626,800

South-South=11,101,093

North central=10,586,965

Northeast zone= 9,929,015

Let me ask you guys this question; if Atiku has about 90% counted votes in SS / SE combined, Which region will buhari such a huge vote? The truth is North will play politics with sentiments when it comes to tenure; Buhari re-contest will earn them 4 years from now while if Atiku wins they are potentially going for a possible 8 years tenure. Do not say it does not matter;

Atiku will share north with Buhari when Kano, Kaduna and Sokoto are having most of their experienced politicians now with the PDP.

Whether VP or not in the SW, Atiku will still get votes from some learned ones, youths and non indigene who cares .... Also middlebelt will be taken by Atiku also...

NE / NW for Atiku wins - 60 / 40 (remember Atiku will bring them another 8 years )

SE / SS - for Atiku 85/15

SW for Buhari - 60 / 40

Middle Belt - for Atiku - 70 / 30

Overall, Atiku will win the 2019 Presidential Election

Economically Buhari has failed .... Do not ignore this fact...

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.


If only you know how many non-Yorubas are in the south west. whereas the south east is mostly Igbos, I would wager any amount of money that at least 20% of the people in the South West are non-yorubas.

Lol. You also seem to have forgotten easily the results of Pmb's alliance with Swest in 2015. That would also come into play next year. Pmb has never had less than 2.5m in any election even when he was in a northern party. Atiku hasn't even crossed the 3m mark in his life. We aren't returning the country to those who destroyed it. You will return to your biafra agitation by this time next year.

Only one big propaganda against Atiku and Obi can save Buhai now or if over 90% of Northern states vote APC; else Goodbye to President Buhari.

From the way I see it, Atiku's hope of winning is dead on arrival. His candidature is only being projected in the South East and the South South. I'm almost certain he can never get 25% of total vote casts in 2 out of the 6 Western States and his less than 30% electoral value in the North is another indicator that he's not getting anywhere with all these hypes. It would have been a tough election if Kwakwanso had been the contender as the guy commands a cult followership in the North,most especially, the state with highest number of registered voters.
For those thinking Atiku can get meaningful votes in the Southwest, they've gotta have a rethink as the region has some how benefitted from this government than the previous one and as such, wouldn't want to jeopardize the chances they already got,as they're fully aware a bird in hand is better than 10 in the air.
If you question my logic,you need to understand that the Nigerian politics is about what you can get for yourself and your people,it's the way it's been since Independence.

Atiku has massive support in the Middlebelt and North-east (his home zone).

You are uninformed about Peter Obi's achievements in Anambra state as a Governor. The giant strides and recorded excellence in primary and secondary education performance in Anambra state in the last ten years are Peter Obi's handi work. The only Governor to have left tens of billions of naira in the state accounts, rather than debts at the end of tenure, as a Governor.
Check his achievements in the health sector, through direct funds implementation.
