The PDP are the originators of zoning. Their failure to respect zoning in 2011 when they denied the North the opportunity to finish its turn by forcing Jonathan on the party as a scam "consensus candidate", was the main reason for their defeat in the 2011 Presidential elections (as even disgruntled northern PDP members, including the chairman, worked against GEJ) which signaled the beginning of the party's downfall that they're still struggling to recover from.

PDP will therefore not dare repeat their 2011 mistake by denying the south its turn in 2023. APC is also fielding a SW candidate with the support of its CPC & ANPP northern wing (despite SW splitting votes ) .

It is only fair for power to move south after 8 years of northern Presidency. This country is on a delicate balance and we know an attempt to dominate the Presidency for 16 years is a recipe for national chaos, so we will definitely support the south.

2023 will be very interesting.

SamNaijaboy:
Igbo people can be so churlish. Oduduwa as Lucifer
Look, PDP won’t try it. Even if the Igbo beg them to be their VP, the Yoruba as a whole will destroy the PDP in the media. It is then you will understand what having control of the media means.
Until the whole of the media starts yelling Southern candidate or division, that’s when you will know that PDP will NEVER try it. Just wait till 2022.
2023 is going to be pivotal. It’s either the country splits or we have Southern candidates in both parties. Watch it.
Best put forward your best man from the SE and lose the dream of some Northerner continuing for 16 years. Nobody will take that

SamNaijaboy:
The SE likes to weep more than the bereaved, that’s why.
They hijacked GEJ’s administration in his “second term” and wanted to damn the North. That could have been possible really if they had carried the Yoruba along. But their clannishness would not let them.
If GEJ had won in 2015 and then in 2019 attempt to hand over to another Southerner, this country should have split by now. Which a lot of people want

In any case 2023 is a referendum on the unity of the country. If the north tries to keep it for themselves, the Yoruba should pull out. I’d like that very much really. Tired of being in the same country with the Fulani and their cow-centric issues and herdsmen killing nonsense

Iblad0994:
Sometimes I feel pity for the Igbos and how they relegated themselves in the scheme of things.

In politics, it’s about knowing when to build and switch alliance, and no permanent enemies. The SW is a region that have eschew the ideology of blame game. Even when we are in the opposition, we’ve always coordinated with tact and we know outright hatred in politics is devastating.

Now the Igbos, a majority who always have the SS in their bag are afraid to even contest for the primary presidential ticket of PDP, a party they have always been loyal to all their lives. The reason is that while other tribesmen are building bridges, the Igbo man believes the world is an island, and thinking he can achieve everything alone.

I don’t know about the loyalty of the North, whether they will vote for a SW or not, but I’m very sure the North will know that keeping power above 2023 might be dangerous for the unity of Nigeria.

As for those who said the Yorubas don’t show unity in voting, write this down, if the APC brings out a credible Yoruba man, then you should be rest assured he will get a block vote in the SW.

Anytime a Yoruba man is on the ballot, SW voting pattern changes and they give at least 85%:
Abiola had it.
Falae had it.
Obasanjo had it for his second term.
BAT/Fashola/Osinbajo will also have it.

Quorax:
YOU ALL have block heads that is why you think what Igbos stand for is hatred. we do not give a fork about what you think. I will let this slide because you mentioned "credible" and I am hoping the likes of "Tinubu" is not what you regard as credible for 2023? Put Osinbajo on that ballot or Adesina or Makinde (dude has been doing well) and watch South-East come out and vote for a Yoruba man. ALL WE WANT IS SOMEONE THAT CAN BRING MASSIVE ECONOMIC STRIDES. Why is demanding for this , which PMB clearly lacks, termed hatred for heaven sake? just why? why? why? are u not tired of the job losses and dwindling foreign investments leading to stagnant economy while small african countries are doing great?

Some times I get pissed that I can only express these feelings online... cos offline, you will eat your words, i kid you not!

If you can't get the real message of what I have stated here, I am not responsible for your

selemempe:
another childish rant. U think pulling out of nigeria is as easy as pulling out from a woman's vagina?

KidsNEXTdoor:
Exactly... APc should reward the SW with 2023 presidency.. For selling out the South and preventing south south from completing their second term...

We all know Jonathan was corrupt.. And was certificateless... Insecurity was everywhere.. Well done

The opposition had already zoned their presidency to the north.... So let's see how it goes

Tinubu will project a northern Muslim as running mate .. Or shop for a northern Christian... Muslim Muslim ticket is not new to APc anyways... So we wish them the best..

KidsNEXTdoor:
How can you read?.... let me help you

No northerner will leave a fellow northerner and vote for Tinubu!!!

kettykin:
Are you kidding me with your take on fairness and the country being on a delicate balance .
If Nigeria wants fairness and equity and to preserve the delicate balance then power should move to south south or south east

KidsNEXTdoor:
Suddenly they feel concerned about the unity of Nigeria... Lol

Denying the south south their second term wasn't treacherous enough for you to lament over unity of the country...

Under the PDP in the last election
. A northern failed to actualize his dream of leading the nation ... Four years after.. Anybody from the region is eligible to try again ..

Under the PDP... We have never been this United

Keep your eye on the ruling party... Will they shop for a northern Christian?... Will they show their true jihadist colors by fielding a Muslim Muslim ticket ...

Iblad0994:
I understand where you are coming from and what you said is reasonable considering the fact that there is anger in the land and people are politically conscious in the SW.

I wish Tinubu do not try to contest in 2023, coz he won’t get that much block vote needed for the APC in the SW. but I can beat my chest that the SW voters will vote Fashola/ Osinbajo with all the vote they can muster coz those guys still enjoy some form of adulation from the Yorubas.

You should know politics is about choosing between two people, are you telling me the SW voters will vote for Kwakwanso/Takbuwal as they would vote Fashola/Osinbajo?

A lot of things will come into play, and dynamics will change. Most voters in the SW don’t even know who Tambuwal is, forget about the hype these online urchins are attributing to Tambuwal, he is not popular like that and Kwakwanso also got lot of enemies even in the North.

The only person that will give the SW a hard time is when PDP fields Atiku in 2023. Coz some voters in the SW will vote that man considering the nature of the 2019 election and based on his popularity and spending power.

Sctests:
Finally yorubas have come to terms with the reality that SS and SE vote as a block and will never vote a SWner who have done their turn. After years of deceiving themselves by using fake online usernames to try to cause division between the two historically contiguous regions.

Finally sense don dey gum them. 2023 will be interesting.

PDP should NEVER make the mistake of zoning it's ticket before APC zones theirs. Let APC choose it's candidate from the SW first then PDP can take from there.

If APC chooses a SE candidate, then PDP will have a lot to worry and have no option than to zone to the East.

There is no region that has more legimitate claim to the presidency than the East as it stand, but to ensure that treachery is not rewarded, it will be ready to have the north keep power till the two parties zone to the East, the way it was done for the yorubas the only time they produce an elected president.

What is good for Okeke should be done for Okafor. Shikena.

Political Ojukokoro will cause serious issues for the SW in 2023. We dey watch.

MasterofNL:
It is only a question of time then because you cannot hold down a big ethnic group like the Igbos for too long.

engrchykae:
the yoruba can't threaten the unity of Nigeria if the igbos are still interested in Nigeria.
the yoruba seem to hold the key because igbos are no longer interested in Nigeria.
if you pick a northern vice,we would accept a northern president and an igbo vice.
meaning
we would articulate obediently.
since you sabi politics
you will tell me how the north will bone their Dan nwana and vote for kafir.
they chose buhari over atiku but can't chose tinubu over atiku.
they voted for mko in 1993 because they wanted to teach him a lesson which they did.
I am not surprised with the wickedness of the yoruba when afonja could have the mind to allow alimi to invade his own people because of selfish political interest.
considering that the ancestor of the yoruba fell from heaven,lucifer himself aka oduduwa

Dagrace01:
If the SE/SS want to still remain relevant in this country! They should embrace southern unity. SW did it when the need arised, for GEJ, Politics is a game of numbers and the more u endeavor to use ur numbers to ur own advantage, then u are on track. Even if SE/SS wanna be tribalistic, the SW is still the closest to them in terms of cultures, traditions and ideologies. Politics is a triickish game, GEJ was there for six years, if he had won back in 2015, he if would've ruled for 10yrs! And the North with their "born to rule" ideology, would believe they're entitled to 10yrs rule too. It would've been bad business for the entire South. Remember since we embraced democracy in 1999, the South has ruled for 14 years while the North is in their 6th year, another 4yrs will make it 10. The South is still on the winning side, so what is the problem? Massive votes for a Southener from SE/SS/SW will bring the power back to them and they'll still be on the winning side.

We predicted that OBJ will win against Yoruba preference and we we right.

We predicted that Yar adua will be president and we won.

We predicted GEJ will be president and we won.

6 correct electoral predictions against 2 yoruba predictions in 2015 and 2019 that happened just yesterday.

Lol, seems you guys have been predicting and supporting other people since 1960 and yet you’ve never ruled except Ironsi that ruled for few months. Don’t mention Azikwe, he’s just a ceremonial head and a slave to the Northerner then.

Yes, your treachery showed first during Shagari era, when you guys voted against a brainy Awolowo to be slave under the Fulani. The Yoruba never cried marginalization, we just swallow the defeat and moved on without name calling like betrayal.

You lied about 1993, the Yorubas won through the ballot, you guys vote were for Tofa and Abiola defeated both you and Tofa.

1999 is just a game, Yoruba still won indirectly coz no matter how one’s child can be stubborn, we can’t feed him to the lions (A case of Obasanjo).

You lied again in the case of Yar’adua, the Yorubas voted him also if you know history and infact the election is marred by such high level of rigging that INEC never published the results officially. Yar’adua later confessed he was rigged into government.

You lied again about Jonathan first term in 2011, the Yorubas voted overwhelmingly for Jonathan except Osun state. Jonathan won 5 of the six SW states in 2011.

In 2015 and 2019, we all know what transpired and God willing 2023 will reveal itself soon.

In as much as I love the fact that you try to show the timeline of the SE achievement in politics, you missed the actual fact that No man of SE origin have ever been voted through the ballot in a presidential election.

In 2023, try to present Obi and let’s see how it goes. I wish you guys the best and hope Nigeria get it right by then.

Presidency is not on demand.

The SE has burnt too many bridges to be able to earn winning votes in Nigeria.

See your life , Bringing southsouth to this issue maybe u don't know who the SouthSouth are.



But the truth is that, The southsouth and southwest have ruled before, if the zoning must stand, let the southeast or Northeast take over....but , not zoning , let those who worked for their party take it..I will be always greatful to late Baba Saraki and Baba Tinubu who gave me free education I primary and secondary level respectively, even as at a time where my people in warri were paying fee for sch fees, books and uniform I was given these for free in Kwara state by late Baba Saraki and Sen. Shaba Lafiaji.



The only platform the southwest can get the tickets is on APC , if the CABALS allow it... and should the APC give it to the southwest in person of Baba Tinubu or Osibanjo , the PDP will not give it to the southeast but rather go to the Northeast and pick a candidate, also if the CABALS decided to go by zoning and pick a candidate from. the northeast, the PDP may pick a candidate from the Northwest...


The truth is that , without cooperative south irregardless of party differences , I don't see a Southwest or southeast winning election in any platform, the bitter truth is that the CABALS will not give it to Baba Tinubu , because it is certain they can't control him, and he is going to restructure Nigeria( northern fears). I don't see a coperative south, because , the east will not support southwest, rather go for northeast under PDP, and the southsouth is a PDP zone. The APC cannot give it to the southeast because of their dislike for the party and may not vote the party even if they r given the opportunity. 2023 is not gonna be easy the way most of u see it. this is just my own anything can happen, Baba Tinubu can beat all odds and win it or may be stop by the cabals. But I stand to gain nothing from whoever win it , even when our GEJ was there , he favoured the northerners more, and in terms of appointment Buhari has done well for deltans than Our own GEJ, in a snail shell, the president doesn't always work his place, same way Daura is presently lacking common water to drink, having produce the president

I am loving the attitude of the South West regarding 2023.

They will contest the Presidency (obviously under the APC) no matter what the rest of the south says.

I encourage the SS to also throw in their hat and contest, instead of chickening out and looking for another northerner to lead them like their neighbors.

PMB will surely anoint a southern successor afterall.
