The Obasanjo Factor
The greatest Nigerian and indeed the greatest Yoruba man alive today is Olusegun Obasanjo. Actually, he is not the greatest Nigerian alive, he is greatest Nigerian ever and this is not a subject for debate. Nigeria has been an independent country for fifty eight years, and out of those fifty eight years, Obasanjo has served as Nigeria’s head of state for over eleven and half years. No one else, not even Awolowo, Azikiwe or Ahmadu Bello, great as they were, was able to achieve that.
It is obvious that Obasanjo loves Nigeria: four years ago, he supported Buhari after Jonathan failed on many critical fronts, but after seeing the way the country has been poorly managed, he has changed his mind and endorsed his former vice, Atiku. Obasanjo endorsed Atiku because, with all his experience, he has seen that Atiku is the best choice for Nigeria at this time. The Yorubas should see the wisdom in Obasanjo’s choice and vote along that line.

Atiku will unite Nigerians
It has been said that Atiku is a Wazobia kind of man. This is because he has friends across the length and breadth of Nigeria. More than ever, Nigeria needs a man like Atiku to unite the country. Under the present administration, as a result of the choices they have made, the country has become so badly disunited that Nigerians see their fellow Nigerians as enemies, and this is very sad indeed. South West like other Nigerians need a united country because progress is very difficult without unity.


Atiku will Manage the Economy Better
This is one of the reasons Obasanjo gave when he endorsed Atiku. Atiku has played very well in the private sector and he understands the economy far better than the incumbent. He has managed private businesses successfully and he has created lots of jobs.

Atiku will Promote Education.
Atiku like the South West places a lot of premium on education. It is obvious that Atiku loves education because he has built schools from primary to university level. Now the importance of education cannot be over-emphasised. The reason why you hardly ever find people being killed as a result of religion in South West is as a result of the high level of education of Yorubas. Indeed the South West is as religiously diverse as the north, the only difference being that the Yorubas are more educated. What the North really needs to end Boko Haram and end these cycles of violence and bloodshed is education and Atiku is that man who will promote education in the country, especially the north.

Buhari will Abandon South West and Tinubu Again

After the 2015 election, Tinubu was largely abandoned but the president only started courting him again when he realized he still needed him for 2019 election. Tinubu Wil get the boot big time after the elections

2023 Belongs to God
The average Yoruba person is very smart, God-fearing and understands that the future belongs to God. None of those with ambition to be president in 2023 can even guarantee that they will even be alive then. It's God that gives power and if it pleases God that a Yoruba man should be president in 2023 as was the case in 1999, no man can stop it. The Yorubas will not allow anyone to convince to them to vote a failed, incompetent president just because someone has a selfish ambition to be president in 2023

South West Big Pastors and Churches are not in Support of Buhari's Re-election
Yorubas are very religious and lovers of the Almighty. God too loves the Yoruba people of South Western Nigeria, that is why He gave them many great and remarkable men of God, like the great Bishop Oyedepo of Living Faith, the great Pastor Adeboye of Redeemed, just to mention a few. Unlike 2015, it is obvious to any spiritually discerning person that Yoruba's great men of God and big churches are not really in support of Buhari's re-election.

The Blood of the Innocent Continues to Weep for Justice
Despite all the massacres, mass murders, and mass burials we have seen in the North Central under the current administration, it is on record that no one has ever been punished for these atrocities. No one has ever been arrested, tried or brought to justice for all these. The Yoruba people, I know, will never support such injustice



The Wisdom of the Yorubas Not in Doubt
The wisdom of the average Yoruba person has never been doubt. The Yorubas are the most educated and politically sophisticated tribe in Nigeria. When the chips are down, the Yorubas vote their conscience. This is why leaders who do well in Yoruba land get re-elected while those who perform poorly get booted out. There is no part of Nigeria that has seen incumbents defeated as the Nigeria’s South West. As usual, when the time comes, the Yorubas will make the right choice….they will vote for Abubakar Atiku.


Other Reasons
I know there are other reasons, but you can go ahead and add yours

All this epistles in the name of election.

Oh oh

So we are no longer sophisticated slowpoke?
We are no longer back stabber?
We are no longer enemy of Igbo?

Anyways, all the factors you listed above are well considered but that doesn't change the fact that Atiku won't get up to 40% in SW. Take that to the bank.

Our minds are already made.

Buhari/Osinbobo .. 2 sure banker

The wisdom of fhe yorubas brought this administattion,lets allow a second term. I'm voting.Buhari as revenge.for what y'all did in 2015

One reason that will defeat your reasons is that Yorubas can not trade-off number 2 for uncertainty number.

Shove all your reasons up your rectum, We are voting Buhari

It's the country first before the tribe...

And then SGF is even more useful than the No. 2

]certainly Not..Among the yorubas.democracy was not an imported political idea or practice;it had been the food with which they nurtured,even from their mothers' wombs..it would hardly be overstressed that Sw were highly sophisticated in politics..they have mindset ..that anyone can't change easy..Atiku no way �..

Activistjohnny you are back. Should Atiku looses the 2019, please and please stay off of politics.

Yannnmmirrinn assertions!
Atiku is not an omoluabi.
Atiku ti Ku Ni ile omoluabi.

Sai Baba.

Iboes don't want APC to enter their land because of their hatred for yoruba people but want yoruba to vote for PDP which they control! What kind of selfishness is this? No wonder their own uwazorike labelled them the most foolish tribe in the world!

The chairman of PDP is from Rivers and Atiku is from the North, so what are you saying?

We Yorubas are voting our son Osinbajo. You IPOB can go vote your own man too in Obigotry

No sane person will vote for a corrupt man such as Atiku. He's got nothing to offer, only lies and looting of treasury he has in place for Nigeria again.

Better stop deceiving yourself, Obasanjo has no Political Value in South West. He did nothing For South West when He was in Power. The only he did was just to Impeached 2 South West Governors

For sopporting Atiku. It will take igbos another 20years to even have hope to become a President.

yea says a man who sits down in his hut and wants to decide for omoluwabis, buhari has failed, he has nothing to campaign with except division and bigotry, Thank God we omoluwabis are to sophisticated for such pettiness.
