AND you think and believe that atiku would restructure nigeria? let atiku deliver that as a campaign promise and i will count it as one campaign lie. nigeria is not yet ripe for restructuring, the constitution would have to be amended, coupled with resistance from the major stakeholders (senate governors and reps), for the obvious reason that it would deny them certain entitlements. the only way atiku can achieve restructuring (that's if he truly means to) is to disregard the rule of law and impose decisions on the senate, and if he sucessfully does that, restructuring would be impossible in 4 years (thats if he wants to keep to his promise of one term), but if he decides to run for 2nd tenure the amount of suffering restructuring would bring to states like jigawa, ekiti, kebbi, osun, some of the south eastern states etc would make sure he doesnt get re elected.
restructing is an herculian task.

Jokkarm2:
why peter obi, why not okonjo iwuala?

Rilwayne001:


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?

Unik3030:
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

boxypane:

You are quick to forget the history of this great nation. The south east will only continue to be minority... Ya all know that's the open fact.
Peter Obi is a good choice never the less, but they won't succeed.

KanuJEWSarePIGS:
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...

jumpandpas:



Ask your elders.

Karatum:


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

Ategberoson:


Atiku cannot win with Easterner as running mate. were you expecting west to leave their own and vote for East? this is a common sense


the political force that would make Atiku shiver after 2019 it will take you people back to your square one that's when you will be looking for sun that has runaway from the confused sets of human

nextstep:


It's funny that you think Atiku made this decision in a vacuum ... at his service are are at least a dozen astute political players (from all over Nigeria) with whom he's done the math. I'd assume their opinions are a little informed than any of us commentators (most of who cannot even win estate chairman elections)

Nowenuse:


Even a Nigerian child knows that South-west is the most ethnically mixed region in Nigeria because of Lagos. Lagos state has about half of South-west's population and about half of the same Lagos' population are non yorubas, of which Igbos, SS and middlebelters form 95% of this population.
Do the maths if you have something upstairs.
Do you want to wish away the millions of non yorubas in Lagos?.

...hunger doesn't know tribalism.

boxypane:

When social media is in the wrong hands . My elders are busy doing there best for Nigeria, while yours are busy instilling stupidity on you and your kind.

Nowenuse:


Ekwueme was an Igbo man and Shagari's VP, yet Hausa fulanis supported Shagari.

Ladyhippolyta88:


CHAI,CHAI !!!
Truer words have never been spoken.

schoolboij:


Who wants a bridge with cowards who shout biafra or death only to chicken out when they pythons.

Chameleons who called Nigeria zoo only to turn around to want a VP in a zoo. Your agitation has now been proven to be false and we would never allow traitors in aso rock.

valerianchikere:


atleast its better than a sick and old president..and you have to be positive. the corruption cant go away but the country has to move forward and not backwards.

Ategberoson:


and Na Atiku go make your hunger go? if you're hungry doesn't mean others are hungry. take your hungry out of my quote and get education


we are talking about what 2019 will gave birth to you're talking about you hungry

talk2saintify:



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.
I'm provoked by ur comments to ask what nonsense are u saying about Peter Obi?
Pls get ur facts right before coming here to spew trash out of poor knowledge.

No governor has out performed peter obi in the south east, for ur information.

SarkinYarki:
I am not impressed ..our surest bet would be a VP from the SW...i am a realist

MrMystrO:
Nigerians sha! All of a sudden Atiku has now become the best thing since sliced bread. Same Atiku that was in APC just last year. And this is how we will keep revolving around in circles, Recycling Old crooked politicians and NEVER Truly moving forward as a nation. Na wa ooo

Only Hausa fulanis go back to their villages from the south to register and vote.
