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
look at u,so u think northerners will want to vote for a man with Igbo VP?n u think Yoruba people will prefer to lose a VP sit because of atiku.atiku just made a mistake cos it's obvious se n ss don't like buhari n majority of them will vote for atiku so y not divide SW vote by picking a south Westerner as a running mate

Because they simply don't have a representative in the PDP!!!! Have you forgotten that only the west and the north decides who rules!!! Oga, division will never let the east come together, and even if they do, there votes wouldn't decide anything meaningful.

[[s]quote author=Unik3030 post=72021954]guy from analysis buhari will win hands down because obi as a VP is a bad market for atiku in d North cos majority of northerners will not want an Igbo man as VP n d Yorubas will also not vote for atiku because they prefer their own as VP cos they might see it as Igbos taking d presidency from backdoor[/s]

So many senseless post here , you think picking a VP from SE will make SW not to vote for him the man Atiku, is the hunger not affecting people of SW ,PDP already have a good structure in SW with osun and ekiti results what were the difference ,If Atiku divides the votes in the North and sweep SE and SS all he need in SW is 25% to win .....Please Buhari apologist pls think ,well I don't blame you your bubu did not even have credit in mathematics..... grin

Politics isn't based on fairness. It's about creating bridges and expanding structures. Igbos play bitter politics and that will keep those two positions out of their reach forever.

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)

My brother you head dey dia.
All this tribal and ethnic bigots masquerading as patriots.if only they would take their time to research the guy .I have been following Peter Obi since 2015 and I make bold to say that he is the best choice for that position.
He has a proven track record from his 8 years as Governor of Anambra.Funny enough the guy does not make noise,lives a very simple life.

My only fear is if Atiku would give him the free hand to operate because I know Atiku and his friends anre bourgeois and like to live as such.in an ideal situation we should be pleading with the guy to come and be the president of this country.

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....
Well, I don't think the focus should be on the geopolitical region the candidate is from but on the person's fitness and capacity to serve. And I think Peter Obi is a good guy who has what it takes to make Nigeria a better place. I am a Yoruba man but I support Peter Obi because he can deliver.

Since 1999, this is the first time an Igbo man is VP. How do you know that they won't vote him? Please state with facts

And go back to 2015 general election results. APC did not even win 80% of the votes in the West. Even the difference in Lagos between both was not up to 100,000. Stop assuming things

I had wanted that Adeshina guy, but Atiku calculated well. It's pointless dragging the west with Buhari when eventually you won't win it. PDP presently controls no state in that region. What's the essence of putting your eggs there?

Let him appear the east and south with the VP slot and wrestle the north and North Central with Buhari. A good number of the westerners will still vote him.

He calculated well, to me

Because Peter Obi has what it takes to impact positively on Nigeria as a VP. That's the first thing to consider not the person's ethnicity

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.


South-west has the 2nd largest voting population, but a large chunk of this population are non-yorubas. They are Igbos, SS and middlebelters, most of whom will not vote Buhari.

Also, South-west has always had a low voters turnout. So, the high number of registered voters mean nothing.

Peter made Anambra what it is today. The man is a great Economist. Listen to him and you will be marvelled at his intelligence.

Dude saved lots of fund for Anambra, reason why recession no hit Anambra. He is not extravagant. He flies economy class, used 504 Peugeot as Governor.

If an Igbo man becomes the VP, what will happen to IPOB. This is a confirmation that not all Igbos support biafra, or the Igbos can't stand firm on what they want. Obviously this is a sign of disunity from this side which will still result in more problems for these nation.

You've spoken well brother....Tribalism n religion has bewitched us big time hence we focus on where one is from rather than his capabilities.

For your reason that's brilliant n very much favorable to young entrepreneurs like us. Both are business men n know what running an economy entails.
