There are no shortage of corrupt politicians in the political class my brother. Until the citizens are ready to teach the major parties in this country a lesson, this is the same position we will always find ourselves. And who looses when we keep putting the wrong people in office? We the masses NOT them! Don't make it sound like they are the ones loosing, a term of being president of this country is a huge achievement to any politician, it doesn't have to be 8 years before you can call it success. Being president for just one term guarantees their unborn generations wealth, and as we have seen with Buhari, 4 years can be really long. Like i said, Who will eventually loose out when we keep revolving around the list of endless corrupt politicians? The answer is obviously not them, But Us! Think again.

U made some quite point. Urghhhh...... cry

East or west does not matter. I actually wanted that adewumi or is it adeshina. I mean the fellow that handled agriculture in the previous administration.
What we need is competent hands and i believe Peter Obi based on this records, business exposure, humility etc will ensure progress in the country. Did anyone watch his channels news interview weeks back? Please visit youtube. It is really worth watching.

My fear is that the average Yoruba man hasn't risen above tribal sentiments ooo

Seriously my brother you don't know anything going by your comment... You don't know south east... We guys don't get involve if it has nothing to do with our benefits... Yes you can call it what so ever you wish... Going by your assertion if he had opted in for a VP from another region he won't only loss south east due to low turn out he would equally share his vote in the south south... Now he's had south south locked down... South east on massive lock down...and for the SW... We all know that the SW are a very dicey people can't be trusted... Can be easily persuaded.even if he had gotten a VP from the SW he will still have to share the vote on there and that a demerit for his bid as the SE guys won't turn up massively... Do the calculation..share the vote in the NE and sw... Lock down SE,SS and NC... I THINK THAT A FAIR CALCULATION... I hope for the best... We are atikulating

Weldone Mr Analyst. BUt have you looked at the figures for the total eligible voters by region? South East is the least after South South. And Igbos do not vote based on interest, the vote based on sentiment. That is why they voted Obasanjo, Yaradua and Goodluck and even when it was clear the way to go, they refused to join the change train. They fought the dirtiest for goodluck and still good not get any reasonable vote for him. Votes are won in the SW and NW. the rest are just to complete the numbers in the end.

You did not answer me.

The SE will continue to be minority, yet they have voted for all the winning presidents since 1999 till 2011.

You obviously don't know zilch.

I know you wish us evil, but fortunately, you are powerless to enforce it.

Votes are not won in the south East. The SW and NW decide.

From most of the comments here, it is very glaring that most people have not risen above tribal sentiments. They no longer consider the person's Cv and past records of success.

They'll not vote for a certain person because the VP slot didn't come from their zone, even though it is very clear that the VP in question has a past successful records.

So they'll rather vote for the other person that they do not want and remain in perpetual suffering for another 4years.

This is exactly why Nigeria is where it is today, they have not learnt their lessons o.

Well, 2019 is close...

The only time the SW decided who becomes president was in 2015.
The NC has a bigger voting power than the entire country.
If igbos come out and vote everywhere, you won't know what hit you.

Peter speaks truth and simple but Osinbajo is cunning that's why d PMB men don't trust him. The role Osinbajo men played at d early days of PMB's health r still there. But Almighty God was on PMB to be alive.

Miscalculation. South East was already in his pocket, who is he tryig to court? Obasanjo cannot win southwest for him because of Tinubu's clout but a SW VP would have been a master stroke. Anyway, What do I know


Why are you people so selfish, so the two VP should come from South West before you vote out APC?


Don't t forget the SS+SE will vote PDP if you like let your SW vote Buhari.


The North will surely vote Atiku.

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.
I ive got close info on B4 Atiku, off course it's not guud, yeah

But really, to we gonna give them a chance, but if Atiku wants let him blow it.
We'll booth him out in 2023 n bring back APC period. That's how its done in US where we got our democracy from.

No dullingooo!

Since nijja politicians don't have political ideology n loyalty so much that there's no diff between APC n PDP. Wisdom demands become same n keep changing them (party n president) until we get it right.

BestDude:


When most of you talk like this, you sound like the so called the obaino, ministers and Co will be the one doing the voting. Oga, this one Na all man for himself. There is hunger in the land and I know Nigeria will unite for a common cause that threaten their life like Ebola disease.

When Ebola broke out, no one dare mention such nonsense because they know if they do nothing, they will be dead by few days. They united to eradicate Ebola and I see that happening again!
.
Oga,you really think that majority of Nigerians are that foolish not to know that Atiku also contributed greatly for 8 years to the present mess this country finds itself?

Only fools do really think that Nigeria got to this stage due to only Buhari 3 years plus as president.

Ask your Atiku to visit US and let us see if he didn't contribute to the looting that went on from 1999 to 2007.

States governors control state structures that can help a governor to rig election or not.
A governor only finds it hard to rig any election in his state if he is up against federal might.

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
It wasn't about Biafra from the onset, it was all about hatred for the man that defeated their prefered candidate in 2015

If you live in the north, you'll know that there's no way millions of "hausa people" will vote this dou over Buhari. It's just a hopeless battle honestly, with most of the fighting done by people online with fancy phones and big english. In the end it won't matter cos of the millions of people in this cult movement who'll go any length to vote and prove their loyalty to buhari who has proven his religious loyalty to them. I don't even want to think or talk about Nigerian politics biko, I just need to get out asap.
i live in the North

Hausa people are not the only ones in the North.

Atiku does not need millions of Hausa people to vote for him

Hausa people are not the only ones in the North. There are Berom, Nupe, Jukun, Eggon, Ibira, Jaba, Kaba, Idoma, Tiv and many more ethnic groups here


There is a sizeable Christian population in the North as well. Particularly in Taraba, Benue, Adamawa and Bauchi States

These are the people Atiku will be banking on amongst others

Stop giving people myopic view of Northern Nigeria.


Stop making peoppe think the North only has Hausa people. The North is just as multi-ethnic as Niger Delta.

Atiku will get millions of votes from the North, be they Hausa or not.

You Igbo hateful bigots always try to bring everyone down just to look good. Do you think anyone trusts an igbo man who can sell his family just because of money. Buhari trusts osinbajo more than anything that's why he always hands over to him.
