I still cant fathom how exactly the victory of APC's candidate David Lyon in the hust concluded Bayelsa Governorship election translate into a political alliance between the SS/SW.
I have seen supposed SW monikers jubilating and mocking the igbos claiming that the SS has moved on and has now decided to go into a political alliance with them on account of this just concluded election.Maybe someone should educate me if I am missing something.Was a political meeting convened between the two regions that I am unaware of? How exactly did this monikers arrive by this conclusion.

Oga this was unnecessary ...let them celebrate 2023 is not far again

horsepower101:
Ignore those comments. Some people are very desperate to taunt Igbos with anything.

APC ruled a south east state for 8 years yet some people accuse igbos of not moving on.

These frustrated people are angry at igbos and will find anything to throw at Igbos out of desperation.

I am glad most igbos on Nairaland chose to ignore them.

Bayelsa election Kwa that average igbos had no idea was going on. This is beyond stupidity.

PassingShot:

Let me educate you why it seems so:

1. Bayelsa state is a core SS state in the league of Rivers and Delta states. A state like other core SS states where APC had no foothold in as recently as 2018 - not until 2019 when we started seeing some presence of APC there.
3. Bayelsa state is the home state of the last president produced by PDP. The state and the region have been hostile to APC as a result of GEJ's/PDP's loss of the presidency.

3. That GEJ abandoned PDP in Bayelsa state and showed support (or being indifferent of the contest, at least) is an indication that he has moved on despite his loss and what his wife is going through with EFCC.

4. Winning Bayelsa state gives a lot of confidence and hope to APC for other states in the region and for 2023 general elections. Such victory will surely boost their performance in that state and in the SS region entirely.

5. Surely, if GEJ/PEJ could support APC which sent them packing from Aso Rock, it means the entire Niger Delta which is their primary constituency can move on and be less hostile to APC or even embrace the party more.

6. With what played out in Bayelsa, APC's headache of worrying about SE has been reduced greatly. It's now much more easier for APC to ignore SE and their emotional blackmail and focuse more on the SS with appointments and inclusiveness. That way, SE becomes less relevant in the scheme of things since APC will now have strong footings in NW, NE, NC, SW and SS. Surely, that's a huge competitive advantage over PDP which can only boast of strength in SE and SS (now diminished) with not-so huge following in other four regions.

There are more implications but these ones should educate you already.

deboysben:
you can't do anything if buhari says sw will continue after him.


Oga go and sit down you lost it when you supported this evil in 2015 and even turn yourself against your people thinking you are intelligent.

statusquoante:
The truth is, GEJ, the political lord and saviour of the pigggiddddiooots, 'defecting' to the APC is a blow below the belt for them. It's a pill too bitter to swallow! It's actually a death knell on the imaginary SE/SS alliance...

Will they support GEJ's action or go against it Will they now turn against GEJ for whom they have slaved and suffered all these years

Have Yorubas been right afterall in booting GEJ out in 2015 seeing his weakness

It's such a difficult time for piggiiidddiooots...

PaChukwudi44:


wrong assumptions.I could also infer that the North has started abandoning the APC with PDP"s victory in key northen states like Sokoto,Bauchi,Adamawa and even Kano(even though it was later rigged).

BTW You didnt say anything on the subject matter of this thread which is the relationship between the results of this election and the imaginary alliance between the SS/SW.

PaChukwudi44:
Does the results of this election show in any way that the people of the SS especially the Ijaws will turn out and vote for Tinubu or Osibanjo in 2023 (Assuming if at all anyone of them gets the APC ticket)

PaChukwudi44:


LOL LET HIM SAY IT FIRST

PassingShot:

No, you can't say that since PDP has always been strong in those regions.

If you still didn't see my post to your poser as answering your question on alliance, I give up then.

deboysben:
oh you still hope in credible election where one can manipulate his strong base with federal might against his opponent. OK oo continue

deboysben:
i will believe this till 2022.

Remember 2023 is still far. Things can change before then.

PaChukwudi44:

Not since 2015.No one even imagined PDP had a chance of winning Kano the biggest state in the North.Who could have imagined that in 2015?

PaChukwudi44:


shebi you beleive aboki will rig for you kwa Kontinue dreaming dude

PassingShot:

When did PDP win Kano?

The fact remains that PDP has always been strong in the north since 1999. You can't use what happened in 2015 to say otherwise.

On the other hand, the same can't be said of APC in the SS/SE regions since 1999. Common!

Bayelsa state is the home state of the last president produced by PDP

Lol PDP became a nyamiri party in the North in 2015.In 2019 the North just showed us there are the real masters of sophisticated politics.I even see more Northern states falling to the PDP in 2023 especially if the APC goes ahead to field a southern candidate

Did PDP win Kano in 2015 or 2019? You avoided that questio

Do you expect PDP to field a Northern candidate

Even if PDP does that, APC will not field a northern candidate but will still win the election. That debate is for another day.
