alot of those from SW didn't even look at the final result of the last election.
Look at it again.
Ogun
APC 308,000, PDP 207,000 (PDP still won 207,000 without a SW VP slot)
Osun APC 383,000 PDP 249,000 (PDP still won 249,000 without a SW VP slot)
Ondo APC 299,000 PDP 251,000 (PDP still won 251,000 without a SW VP slot)
Oyo APC 528,000 PDP 303,000 (PDP still won 303,000 without a SW VP slot)
Kwara APC 302,000 PDP 132,000 (PDP still won 132,000 without a SW VP slot)
Lagos APC 792,000 PDP 632,000 (PDP still won 632,000 without a SW VP slot)

Analysis: The SW is weak and has very little effect on the outcome for Buhari. PDP will take a chuck of the vote in SW and they know it.

The swing areas are in the North, SE SS
Kano APC 1,903,000 PDP 215,000
Kaduna APC 1,127,000 PDP 484,000
Katsina APC 1,345,000 PDP 98,000
Akwa Ibom APC 58,000 PDP 953,000
Delta APC 48,000 PDP 1,211,000
Rivers APC 69,000 PDP 1,487,000

GEJ was unsellable in the North but Atiku is. PDP will get at least 40% of the vote
If Atiku had picked a VP from the SW, it won't have had any effect because PDP can still win 30 - 40% of the vote in SW without a SW VP and APC would have used it to campaign against PDP in the SE, telling them how can they trust a party that can give them a VP slot.

Misterdhee1:

Kano and kastina's votes for Buhari alone will swallow all those your 80% and 100% votes grin grin

This is not true.
The votes of the SE/SS have always proven to neutralize that of the NorthWest.
North-west had 18m registered voters while SS/SE had 16m combined.

Also, 95% of the SE/SS votes always go in one direction, while for the NW, only about 85% or less. This is partly because of the minority tribes christian populations in the North-west and the heterogeneity of places like Kano and Kaduna with millions of Igbos, SS and middlebelters.

For a start, Kaduna state with the 2nd largest registered voters in the North and 3rd largest in Nigeria has half of it's population as christian minorities (Southern Kaduna people) who never vote in the same line with Hausa-fulanis. In 2011, they gave GEJ 45% of Kaduna state votes and in 2015 when GEJ's support reduced all over Nigeria, they still gave him about half a million votes (about 30% of the state, even more than Abia state).

SE/SS have the most homogenous voting pattern in Nigeria.
NE/NC and SW always tend to be divided. These are the main battlegrounds.

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.



Na so. He'll lose because he picked a running mate from the strong hold of his party.

The joy that has long eluded Igbos has been restored.

It is no longer LefeLendum.

With Peter eyeing Aso, they have collectively agreed that they were on the path on senseless cry for an Imaginary state.

To IPOB, Emma Powerful can now sink his flat tired head under Ogbunike cave for all they care.

The propaganda and endless cry of pity for actualization of an Imaginary state has evidently been relaxed as the goal is to have a son in ONE NIGERIA Aso...

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.

And the Yoruba play happy politics?? We have seen how you guys are playing ur happy politics here - with the unquantifiable amount of hate geared towards the igbos. But u know what, we don't care. U can go and kill urself for all we care.. Asswipes

BTW, nobody wants to create bridges with cowards and backstabbers

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.

Olatoman:


So when I saw this comment I felt so insulted, like why would you generalize your perceived stupidity of one man to a whole tribe. Let's be more thoughtful and analytical before making comments.

I am quite happy Peter Obi is the running mate to Atiku, simply because he is a pragmatic and principled man.
He understands how a capitalist economy works and also understands that Government service is not to the exploitation of the massess.

You all can Google Peter Obi Speech on "The Platform" which was hosted by Covenant Christian Church last year.

It doesn't matter right now, Buhari may be all Anti-corruption and what not but it's obvious he lacks the capacity to really turn this nation around through sound economic policies, he's saving grace most times comes from PYO, but theirs only a little PYO can do in light of the Sycophants and supposed inner circle that whispers to that old man.

I hope u understand that I was just asking that guy a question

Reading comments here made my see more reasons why Nigerian can never move forward.

Why should anyone say picking VP from SE is bad for Atiku. Aren't we for good governance anymore? Must SW abandon Atiku just cos VP slot wasn't given to them?

There is no way Atiku wouldn't perform better than buhari. That's what we should be thinking right now.

If the condition of Nigeria under Buhari has pleased the SW then let then not vote Atiku and continue complaining about Buhari for another four years.

I don't understand some Nigerians honestly. Can't we use our brain?



Yet, you keep going on and on against the SW and what they want or don't want, but why not just answer the same question the other way around?


Why should anyone say picking VP from SW is bad for Atiku.

Are you saying ibo people will vote for Atiku and a VP candidate from the SW.?


Stop being hypocritical.

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

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.

So from your parlor in NC, you're easily able to deduce that a large chunk of voters in South West are non Yoruba?

Hear yourself, does that even make any sense to you, if you have sense?

You people should stop posting ignorant comments here.


What birthed APC in 2014 was a merger by 3 major parties with conditions that the then CPC produces the president while the then ACN produce the vice. There was no APC then.

They both did it alone in 2011 and failed.

Get educated.

They never had the SW to begin with.

Igbo indigenes , SS indigenes , and sensible yorubas all living in the south west will vote for him and that will be enough.

Remember, the vast majority of the south west voting strength is in Lagos- a cosmopolitan city.
