Since Atiku became the candidate of PDP for the presidential election billed to hold next year, there have been a lot of talk about who he should pick as his vice and even though we knew he was most likely going to pick from the South-East. There were some dissenting voices that felt that he should pick from the SW in order to win the Yorubas over and these people felt that the SE will vote for Atiku either way.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble but where the Atiku's VP comes from will not make any difference because like i stated sometime ago, the election will be won in the north and not the south. It's also important to note that southerners are not moved by the fact that a VP is picked from their region. Yorubas did not vote for APC because Buhari had a Yoruba deputy. They did so because the structure that is APC which is headed by their Leader asked them to do so. if Buhari asks them to vote for Atiku even without a Yoruba vice, they will sway towards him. So, if Atiku has picked a SW vice instead of Peter, it wouldn't make a single difference. Igbos would also still vote for Atiku irrespective of who Atiku picked. Forget the threats by some Igbo groups.

I tend to disagree with you my 042 brother.The geographical background of both aspirants matter as they serve to leverage each other.

This is not the original Afam4eva you knew. This one is a low profile imposter.

If it was that important, asl yourself why Ojukwu, Orji Uzor Kalu and other popular Igbos that ran for the presidency could not win the election in the zone or why Obasanjo did not really enjoy the support of his people. If that was the case why are people in both regions not considering voting for Kingsley Moghalu and Fela Durotoye.

It’s the main thing
You don’t expect me to vote Obi and Atiku

While you hate Pmb and my son

Better days are here..

Together we will lift naija to greater heights.


Shun tribalism.. embrace unity

Really?

I tend to align with those that disagree with the OP's position. If the geopolitical zone of the VP does not matter very much as put forward by the OP, what stops Atiku from picking his Vice from North West then?

Can PMB ditch Osinbajo for a South South person in 2019?

It's highly likely the SW will stick with APC while the north will generally support Buhari. The main battleground will be the NC and SS

sorry oo mr poster let igbos hold obi
and let yorubas hold osibanjo then we meet at the poll.

peter obi is a known tribalist , he called my state no mansland and opening degrade acn by calling it amala party in order for igbos not to vote ngige

And INEC been controlled by the FG will not just write any figures like it happened in the SS during 2015 Elections... In all I see PMB winning the the election.... Sad but that’s the truth

So you are expecting pdp to pick a vp from the southwest, making both vp slots from apc and pdp come from same place while leaving out southeast that has stuck by pdp since the defeat of 2015 when many others deserted pdp
How wicked can you be. So you can have something to taunt the easterners as being used and dumped.

You're correct but it's by far not a sad thing. I'm 100% behind Buhari

Yes you ibos deserve the PDP VP slot for sticking with the party, but the problem is you will lose again and please let's not hear any rubbish Biafra or death after that

Just like tinubu and his zombies forgot true federalism and regionalisms..

Think I learnt from you.

Afons..

Stop lumping north together.
Count north central out except Niger.

Did you say SS will be a battle ground?
Battle ground for who and who?
you ought to have known by now that SS is more PDP than SE. Check their governors

Are you a member of the pdp?
Allow the pdp choose whoever they want, if they lose again how is that your problem Since you support buhari, you should be happy then that pdp went for a vp that will make them lose the 2019 elections since according to your logic it's only a yoruba vp will give pdp a chance

Dont mind the myopic bedroom political analysts, kids arguing with no facts. So, apc will win adamawa, Taraba, and kaduna state after the treatment given to elzazaky and the Shiite group there

Wrong calculations.

Who Buhari help before he became president? the answer is NONE.

WHO ATIKU HELP BEFORE NOW? MANY.


Buhari will also not help anyone even as a president.

Atikus has raised men before now and you'll see the impact soon.

THAT'S THE YORUBAS FOR YOU.

THEY ALWAYS WANT TO REAP WHERE THEY DID NOT SOW.....

Who deserted the PDP post 2015 if not the SE

Atiku has done the needful, if the west likes they should give buhari all their votes, which is impossible, because tinubu would protect his political reign by ensuring that the votes are shared, as its obvious buhari is going.

As per the election, It matters. But as per usefulness to the region after winning., nothing.

A VP from the SWest for Atiku would have given Buhari the Ambode treatment in 2019.

ModsareChevres:

Like seriously
How did they do that. How many pdp governors in the east decamped, how many governors and legislators in southwest are currently in pdp compared to southeast

Those Igbos that thinks that yorubas are their friends should open their eyes wide.

It's obvious yorubas HATES Igbos so deeply.

Forget about this your long epistle, since 1999, has any se become a VP?
Yeah, some SE will still vote while some would rather sit at home and not vote just like during GEJ time.
If Buhari had done well, I would have believed you but buhari we know, only a bigot will vite for him

thunderfirebuha:

Politics is all about interest.... You don’t expect SW to abandon their own just because they want the Igbos to see them as a good people.... The last time we checked the Igbos always boast that they don’t want alliance with West

Afam4eva:
Yorubas did not vote for APC because Buhari had a Yoruba deputy. They did so because the structure that is APC which is headed by their Leader asked them to do so.

That's so wrong. Yorubas are not influenced like that. Voting buhari was an informed choice. They were tired of Jonathan and wanted change. They felt Buhari would deal with corruption and bokoharam. They also fell for the professional achievement of Osinbajo.

seanfer:

Again people don't understand the thought process of the current Yoruba man. In this kind of situation, Yorubas are more interested in merits than tribal sentiments. Look at 2011, didnt ACN present a yoruba VP in fola adeola? Did they win even in Lagos (Tinubu's hold)? In the same yr, even some yoruba members of latter rain assembly didn't vote for CPC that had their pastor Tunde Bakare as VP candidate.
