Lol what are you saying?

1.Buhari has already won his elections and isn't running in 2023 so I wonder what you're talking about.

2. Even with all the United Northern states, a few states in the South are necessary to fulfil the constitutional 2/3 majority vote to win, which was Buhari's problem despite sweeping the north, until he entered into alliance with Tinubu and won the SW in 2015.

Jonathan's loss of the majority core Northern Vote despite sweeping the south in 2015 is what retired him to Otueke. Its therefore the major determining vote that will decide whether the SE smells the Presidency in 2023 or not.

Take a good look at the United, Bloc Northern Vote.


What I'm saying is that there is nothing like Northern's vote cause same bubari has lost election many times in North until 2015 and goodluck had won many states in the North ..North is not unique and homogeneous..it's made up of different tribes and different religions..So,don't make it look as if that North is united go vote only person all the time..

Thirteen133, for record purpose, Buhari has never lose in any CORE northern States to Jonathan. He won 12 out of 19 in all his election against Jonathan. Southwestern votes saved Jonathan but he paid us evil in return

A mild drama ensued at the Sam Mbakwe Airport, Owerri as the Chief Whip of the Senate, Orji Uzor Kalu was held hostage by supporters who insisted he must declare his readiness to run for President in 2023 before leaving the airport.

The Chief Whip of the Senate and former Governor of Abia State, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu made his first entrance to the South-East, almost two months after his release from the Kuje custodial centre.


Senator Orji Uzor Kalu arrived the Domestic Wing of the Sam Mbakwe Airport, Owerri at exactly, 1:32 pm via a private jet and was making his way out of the arrival when he was accosted by thousands of supporters. The visibly elated crowd made it nearly impossible for the former Governor to access his vehicle as they insisted he must declare his interest before they allow him leave.


The Senator, however waved at his supporters and asked them to in his words “Only thank God for me” before he was whisked into a waiting vehicle.

The office of the Chief Whip of the Senate had earlier issued a directive appealing to well-wishers and supporters to respect the COVID-19 regulations and avoid gatherings to celebrate his homecoming, a directive which they clearly were not ready to adhere to.

The drama continued as his convoy arrived Abia state as thousands of his supporters defied the rain to welcome him.

Shouts of “OUK our President” rent the air while his convoy made its way through the streets.

Meanwhile, All Progressives Congress (APC) Abia state chapter, in a statement signed by the publicity secretary Comrade Benedict Godson has welcomed the former Governor to the state.

The statement reads as follows “Today, our leader makes a triumphant entry into Abia, as a journey towards reclaiming our state begins In our part of the world. Today, after the much-failed efforts made to curse a man whom God has already blessed, that man is coming in to take his rightful place as our leader. He’s the APC leader in the South East of Nigeria, he’s Abia State political leader no matter the party you belong and he’s the man whom everybody gives the respect as Abia Original leader.

In Another statement released by the Movement for the Emancipation of Igbo People and signed by its National Coordinator Kelechi Okoye, the organization declared that “For those who sent Senator Orji Uzor Kalu to jail because of 2023, we shall use the same man to teach them a lesson about the resilience of the Igbo man.

We shall make sure he declares and runs for President come 2023 and we shall put them to eternal shame. In the coming months the whole nation will hear the voice of the Igbo people and it will be loud, clear and deafening”

The Senator is yet to make a statement to confirm or deny if he he will be joining the Presidential race in 2023, insisting he is still having a sober reflection on the events of the past months.

Did the majority of the core North not vote as a bloc for CPC and APC in 2011, 2015 & 2019? Nobody said every single person voted the same way as of course there will be PDP members but what matters is the voting pattern of the majority.

Only a blind man or a man pretending to be asleep will not see the united voting pattern of the core north in the maps below despite the diverse tribes.

Lol..it's no longer North now but now core North..I just wanted to make it clear that North is made of different regions with different tribes and religion..so you should telling us northern vote cause there is nothing like that..each region in the North will always vote for their desired candidates..majority of buhari's vote have always been from the NW and few states in the NE..

A "few states" in the NE? Lol now I see you're just being dishonest. Look at that map again.

Furthermore, 2 out of the 3 regions in the North, that have the highest voters and turnout in the country, vote as a bloc.

Finally, the so called "different regions with different tribes" in the NW and NE electoral power houses ALWAYS vote as a united bloc in a uniform pattern. This is an undisputable fact and the reason the North has remained politically dominant in Nigerian politics.

In 2011 election buhari didn't win any state in NC,most of his winings came from NW cause that's where he came from.Even in 2015, goodluck still won in some Northern states.North is never united that's what I'm trying to make you to understand. Stop saying northerns vote cause even buhari contested election like 3 times before winning it and the so called northern vote couldn't save him all those while.

Psalmspsalms:
It really won't be easy at all for an Igbo man to become the president of Nigeria. If we must tell ourselves the truth, we are all gonna agree with me that the first thing that will come to a voter's thought is that if an Igbo man becomes the president, he's gonna make sure biafra comes into existence. To me and many people in Nigeria, even in 100years to come, an igbo man won't become the president of Nigeria. The damage has already been done.
Its just my thinking.

Sit down, grab your popcorn and watch. Nothing is impossible on earth.
