Great2017:
And yet, Buhari lost woefully to Yaradua in 2007. Even his kit and kin rejected him in Katsina. Sorry, your postulation is not adding up.

Yaradua himself said the election that brought him to power was rigged. Other observers confirmed it.

ORIENTATION101:
The implications of Buhari victory is Apc have displaced pdp in nothern Nigeria permanently. The few politician that defected might return after dust is settled. Buhari is the father figure of Apc .Any presidential candidate Buhari endorses and campaign for is assured of victory in 2023.

If you know how Dankwambo matter dey pain me, such a brilliant young man.
PDP just rubbish the guy for nothing, the ghost of PDP is finally laid to rest in the north.

I posted this a few months back in reply to an unserious thread analyising how Atiku would win.

I stopped reading after the first sentence.

For the umpteenth time , NO ONE HATES GEJ (except maybe Patience nowadays) , Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is a difficult man to hate for normal human beings

Just to make it clear, what LAZY IPOB YOUTHS and PDP apologists term as irrational hatred for GEJ in 2015, was simply fanatical LOVE for Buhari by core northerners (which they've always shown) and disdain for all things PDP in the SW and to an extent in the NC in 2015.

Until you recognise that GEJ was not the problem in 2015, all your analysis and political calculations will remain doomed.

Once serious southernerers realise this then we can now start thinking of how best to approach 2023.

If Buhari was that popular in the North...why did he have to contest four times before he won?

Please don't tell me he was rigged out on previous occasions...

just wait until it presents a northerner to battle Osibanjo in 2023 then you will know northerners do not owe allegiance to any party

He had always won the core north. He won in 2015 because the SW voted for him.

You wrote all this but made no sense.what is your point?
Buhari failed 3 other times to become President, why didn't this "natural love" he has in the North help him win in the 3 times he failed? The reason Buhari won was because of who he ran against. He ran against an Ijaw man whose support was largely from Igbos. The South West, and the North ganged up on GEJ.

The only reason Buhari won now is because he is the incumbent

You failed to know that winning the north is not enough. Buhari has been winning the north since 2003. He actually won in 2015 because the SW voted for him.
