Honestly no party need south east to win election. But south south will do a great job.consider the fact that southwest and south south have been in one political direction since amalgamation.
you think South South have forgotten what you people did to them in 2015? Dreamers. They are waiting for u.

Unfortunately, the North will likely not vote for South East due to their Biafra agenda. For now, they can't afford to let go of oil as the South South may go with Biafra. But if the South brings out a South West candidate (who is likely to be a Muslim), the gentleman agreement may stand.
You yorubas are evil.

If they want to tear pdp apart they should chose their presidential candidate from north. Both south east and south south should support apc since the party agreed to chose their presidential candidate from southwest .
fact is that here in the east we are ready to support Abbubakar Shakau than supporting any SW candidate, if you feel we are not good enough for president then come and rule let's see. I'm sure the yoruba sabotage of the SS presidency in still very fresh in the minds of South southerners. 2023 is gonna be interesting

If they retain power in the North in 2023, I'm sure the next census will reflect a South with almost the population of the North because we will count our goats and chickens too, the way they count cows and rago in the North. Then elections will become serious rigging war since we also have the population to match the North. Eight-yr-oolds will also be eligible to vote here and we'll import Togolese and the rest, the way they rent the Chadians up North...no region has monopoly of leadership by manipulation!
the TRUTH IS THST 8 YEARS CHILDREN IN THE NORTH ARE TWICE THE POPULATION OF SS/SE PUT TOGETHER + THERE NEW BORN BABIES AND ADULT

I only hearing the word of betrayal from igbo even Bayelsa the country home of Goodluck jonathan never make such comment. However tell me the agreement southwest and south south signed that southwest break.
South East are loud mouthed.... The silence of the south south doesn't mean they don't know what they are doing? At least, you saw what they did to APC in the just concluded election, didnt you? Did APC win any state aside Edo? Wait bros, 2023 is not far.

if i were tinubu and the North don't wana agree to power moving to the South then i will link up with an Obi for presidency under under any party and a person that will divide the Northern vote (North Central preferably),we Yoruba can settle for a senate presidency,that'z SW,SE,SS AND NC,this will teach North a lesson not to use any southern part as a puppet.
South West says they are not from the south. I read a comment from them few weeks ago calling us out not to include them in any South zone lol. Power dey shack dem... But let's see who will laugh last.

Is not going to happen or what is this one saying? You forgot when PDP zoned the presidential to the south east for 2019 and the Igbo claims that they are not ready for presidency yet? Igbo people will be given one more chance to contest under PDP if they refused again, the Pdp will automatically zone the presidency to the South west.
Yorubas and stupid lies.

The ticket was zoned to the North July 2015. Where you that bullshit is what I don't understand

There is a good development for Nigeria...many get apprehensive unnecessarily.

Zoning should gradually be discarded, every part of Nigeria can produce a President if not in 2023 but subsequently.
We should be more concerned about MERITS than zoning.

that is likely not going to happen because to PDP a Southerner has ruled for 6years so its naturally going back northward and secondly PDP is desperately in need to take power so will field a northerner where they can get more vote.
We in the SS/SE are voting PDP.
Let the north continue.
We are fine with it.
Our voting pattern is very clear and easy to understand.
A little push from any northern candidate will deliver PDP in 2023.

Babachir Lawal, Nigeria's ex-Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), has stated that it is not compulsory the north must cede power to south In 2023. The ex-SGF who also claimed that the Governor of Adamawa State, Jibrilla Bindow, betrayed President Muhammadu Buhari, added that it led to the poor performance of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state during the presidential and governorship elections.

Babachir Lawal who told Aid-Oghie Paulinus that it is not compulsory the north must cede power to south in 2023, added that  every part of the country was qualified to produce a president for the country. On insinuations that the North may not cede power to the South in 2023, he said;

I don’t attend any meeting in which a so called north takes decisions. If there is such an organization that takes those decisions, they don’t invite me. For obvious reasons, I am a democrat and I believe every part of Nigeria has qualified candidates for the presidential. Every part of Nigeria! Indeed, I don’t see why the… even if it is in the north, if we say the Northwest has produced a presidential candidate, the Southwest had produced one, I don’t see why the North Central can- not produce or the Northeast cannot produce just as South-South, Southeast, Southwest and even Northwest can still produce. The constitution doesn’t say it is prohibited. And as I said, I believe every zone, every state, has capable people that can run this country effectively.

On if deputies should always succeed their principals like Osinbajo succeeding Buhari in 2023, he said;

It is not in the constitution, so it is not a principle. Principle of what? It is not in APC constitution, it is not in the national constitution, it is not in the Bible, I don’t know whether it is in the Koran; I don’t know. So, I don’t see how it became a principle.

BABACHIR LAWAL IS ALREADY SPEAKING PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI MINDSET.

Tinubu, Osinbanjo and the rest of the southern politicians are thinking that it is the turn of the south to get the office.

They could receive a shocker as power can still shift up north.

Gentleman agreement can only come in when u have one major party playing acting like a one party state but right now with 2 major parties both will be looking at how to be at the driving seat and sadly the north have the numbers... So it changes the dynamics
Gentleman agreement can only be possible when u have a gentleman agreeing with you grin

The only issue why the north can say this is because the south west are interested in running ,so they know the south is divided ....

So tinubu don't have any igbo person or south south person he can trust ? Sad

Obj ,ibb , atiku and the rest have someone they can trusts in each local government ....thats what made them great
U see Tinubu, he hates anything Igbo and south south.. He is the biggest problem of southern Nigeria.. He has to leave the earth for southern Nigeria to reclaim her glory.. Southern Nigeria is over blessed but the stupidity of our leaders here and their greed make the southern region still backward..

The south has everything to keep power to the south for ever.. All they have to do is to unite in the south... They have the economy and human resource.. Just look at the music and movie industry and see how two regions in the south built them into billion naira industry..

PDP zoned 2019 presidential to the east but the Igbo rejected it and gave it to the Northerners thinking they will unseat Buhari.
lieing with confidence
Re: Babachir Lawal: It’s Not Compulsory North Must Cede Power To South In 2023 by Akaujaa(m): 12:28pm On Apr 06, 2019
Of course, power is not returning to the South in 2023. They already know that the APC plan to shop for PMB's replacement from the South and PDP zone theirs to the North. So, I see a collapse of the APC in 2023 with most Northern politicians in APC cross carpeting to the PDP to form an alliance with the aim of producing a president of Northern extraction.
Re: Babachir Lawal: It’s Not Compulsory North Must Cede Power To South In 2023 by kayjay69(m): 12:30pm On Apr 06, 2019
And I sincerely, wholeheartedly and totally agree with him.

Really I do.

Until say both parties zone the presidency to the South, then you are going to see this same man right here scream blue murder.

In the ideal sense, he is right and who knows maybe the man who has the potential to lead the country to the promised land is from a remote village in Benue, Ebonyi, Delta or Cross River. Who knows really? But I guess we will never find out because we all know the reality. The reality is what we have been exposed to since 1999, probably since the inception of the country.

judgement day has come so soon.
Tinubu now over to you. Look at the people you call your friends while the Ibo's should be killed because you don't need in your political equation.
The big game has just began. Political scam season 2.
Waiter get me popcorn and lacasera.
listen nobody needs the southeast in any election because you guys don't know how to play politics, twice your region voted massively against the APC yet he won, so you guys are irrelevant, in 2023 there are at least 3govs and a serving senator from the SE who are more than qualified for the ticket but the party you love so much will give it to someone from the caliphate who was in the APC you hate so much and a VP will be chosen from the south south,because they have seen that you guys cannot influence any election. so don't blame tinubu who is fighting for his interest and that of his region blame yourselves for been used and dump by the PDP.
