Aside Obi and Kwankwanso, no other politician has been able to prove themselves ALONE outside the establishment.

Repost👇

Obi has the brightest chance going by the last election result followed by Kwankwanso. I choose these two because they left PDP and did not have the structure of the regular party, which Atiku benefitted from using the PDP platform. You also have to look at the time they had to test themselves between the election primaries and election.

If you want to know what that means, Ribadu ran the Presidential election in 2011 under AC and failed with that party structure. Obi and Kwankwanso have been able to test their popularity as candidates outside the regular establishments and done well. Both had no Governors in their party before contesting and pulled a good number in the last election. Buhari used his CPC to bargain with AC to get the Presidential slot in APC. Buhari could say whether he used ANPP or CPC, he could gather votes. I'm not so sure Atiku can do that. He was a presidential candidate of the Action Congress in the 2007 presidential election coming in third to Umaru Yar'Adua of the PDP and Muhammadu Buhari of the ANPP. Atiku came a distant third in that election with less than 10% of the votes.


Obi and Saraki/Kwankwanso

A Saraki will be a difficult campaign for APC that has defaulted to using tribes against themselves. Saraki ticks two boxes of Yoruba/North Central who have been looking for relevance since Gowon.

Here is the stats of the declared winners since 1999. Mr Bola Ahmed tinubu was not a popular president elect

Here is the brief, factual list of Nigeria’s presidential election winners since 1999, including each winner’s name and the percentage of valid votes they received.

1999 – Olusegun Obasanjo: about 62.78% of valid votes.

2003 – Olusegun Obasanjo: about 61.94% of valid votes.

2007 – Umaru Musa Yar’Adua: about 69.60% of valid votes.

2011 – Goodluck Jonathan: about 58.87% of valid votes.

2015 – Muhammadu Buhari: about 53.96% of valid votes.

2019 – Muhammadu Buhari: about 55.60% of valid votes.

2023 – Bola Ahmed tinubu: about 36.6–37% of valid votes.


A United opposition will defeat tinubu before the election begins. With a wiiiiiiiiiiiiiide margin. There is no need to argue about that.

Fact: Tinubu remains the most unpopular president to have won the Presidential elections. He is the easiest to kick out. Back then, PDP told AC, CPC and opposition parties when they were reigning that to kick us out, you need to unite as opposition. That's what they learned in 2015.

SixSeven:
You'd be surprised by how crafty they are. Don't forget what Atiku said yesterday about PDP and how they formed it. He was the VP but the real President, they deliberately chose Obasanjo who just came out of prison and had lost touch. He just confirmed what people had said all along yesterday when he said he recruited cabinet members among others. He was the de facto president who latched on to the sentiment of repaying Abiola and the country wanted a Yoruba man as compensation. That's why

1. The South West voted Falaye instead of Obasanjo

2. After the first term when Obasanjo's eyes opened, he tried to grab the SW in 2003 election and he tried to settle with Atiku. He had now become his own man. Search for Obasanjo begs Atiku in 2003.

Payback came when Atiku thought he would succeed Obasanjo and that man decided to publicly speak against him and publish books that wrote his image in red ink. Politics is a game of interests.

He is still a selfish man and is the kind of person Tinubu fears. Why? They know themselves. Tinubu has publicly admitted that the deal with Atiku saved him from the South West tsunami in 2003. They worked together in 2011, 2015 to play and remove Jonathan respectively. I can see Atiku's perspective. He feels that only the South East and South South was what was left to be captured in the last election and the North is already in the bag for him while Obi feels that with a Northern support, he will defeat Tinubu since he is quite popular in the South. Now I will advise Atiku to do a poll and find out whether people really want him or they just want his money.

He admitted yesterday that he had made some mistakes and I hope he doesn't make the same mistake like his brother Tinubu by running for President. Tinubu has been demystified now that he is President, he could have supported Osinbajo or any other candidate that the people willingly accepted back then. Atiku should read the room and endorse someone. If Tinubu did that in 2023, that candidate would have won smoothly but the man wanted to grab it, snatch it and run away with it and he's been falling and embrassing himself ever since. Presidency is not a small job, they both need to rest. Anyhow, I love the energy of Atiku who is older than Tinubu. It makes me question things.

tesseract:
This is how you recognize a failure with absolutely no intentions of improving. Onanuga will sit down and manufacture a press release that even the president is not aware of containing more lies upon lies to deceive gullible Nigerians.

SixSeven:
Technically, he is correct. And he was justifying his position based on Tinubu's current performance and his own experience as VP. Atiku is still living the trauma of never winning the Presidency. Old people have the baggage of what they could not do during their youth and we have seen this with Buhari, Obasanjo and now Tinubu. Tinubu went one step further to change our national anthem to the old. Buhari entered and first thing on his mind was Dasuki. Atiku will most likely delegate the work to others and will not be hands-on like Tinubu because of his age. But someone also has to tell Atiku that the world has moved on...

They are well spent in politics of the past while these young people are not interested in these old faces. That's one message Atiku is not getting. Those who voted for him in 2019 are now 7 years older. Since that time, children who were 11 years old are now 18. Since Atiku started contesting in 1993, a child of that age is now 33. Since he was a Vice President in 2007, a child then now is 19.

Approximately 39.65% (roughly 37 million) of registered voters are between the ages of 18 and 34. In the lead-up to the 2023 elections, 84% of the 10 million newly registered voters fell into this age category. Those aged 35–49 (Middle-Aged Voters) make up roughly 35.75% of the electorate.

Read the room.

Vision101:
All opposition are ex this and ex that. Let them show us what they did when they were ex and tell us concrete plans that they have that are better. Stop telling us always of wrongs of Tinubu and APC. Tell us what you can do differently. I have not heard one from the gang of ex this and ex that.

SixSeven:
I was surprised Atiku could answer questions live on air without support or any assistance from town hall candidates. Shame on Nigerian media who have accepted APC style where the Presidents don't bother about answering questions. They put spokesmen to be talking to us like we voted those ones.

For me, it is Nigeria first and foremost. Anything to fix this country, I'm all in. And I'm not one to be behoven to sentimens, so keep your emotions in check.

Arabambi is a Yoruba phrase and name meaning "family/kin joined to give birth to this," often interpreted as "the child of the people" or "the community gave birth to this child". It is used as a name denoting collective ownership, royalty, or close familial bonds.

ColdHunter:
Empty useless rhetoric.

Has anyone ever seen this man discussing his own governments policies?

Has he ever granted a random oressinterview without reading prepared speeches and answering prearranged questions?

Never seen a politician as vacuous.

I genuinely hope he climbs the stage to debate other contestants.

Typical African man!🥱🥱

Even though you clearly admit it is a real problem, without proper research, you choose to comfort yourself in believing it is too small for you to concern yourself with. Why am I not surprised? 🥱🥱

There is going to be a lot of abandoned sim cards. Many people will rather buy a new sim than paying off their debts.

Ofunaofu:
This is what happens when you have absolutely nothing to campaign with after nearly three years in office.

Tinubu has now resorted to attacking Atiku personally instead of addressing Nigerians or even asking for forgiveness for the untold hardship, hunger, worsening insecurity, and persistent power outages.

VanuatuWycombe:
I get your point. But we won’t be electing such types of governors if option A4 system of election is adopted. May be we may only need to include it in our electoral laws that state governor cannot be party leader at all.

All governors are servants to us but they have turned tables against us because they know people are poor and they are spending peanuts on people from our patrimonies. It’s so unfortunate we are hooked on this type of system from 3rd Republic, after Babangida.

VanuatuWycombe:
It’s our electoral law that is faulty. It doesn’t throw open election of party executives to general party members.
It gives a few party executives to vote a few party executives.

At grassroots, only few people attending ward meetings vote in ward executive election.
When it is time to nominate counselor from a ward, our electoral law says only ward executives can vote to nominate a counselor for that ward. With this law in place, it is easy for a counselor with moneybags to ‘buy’ maximum ward executives who will vote for him or her.
When nominating chairman too for a local government, it’s both voted counselors and party executives from wards that vote to choose who will contest at local government level.
At state level, it is all state and local government executives (including chairmen and counselors that nominate governorship flag bearer.

Similar thing is applicable when nominating for president.

You can see that it’s our electoral process.

Assuming the law throws nominating to the general public, it will be tough for moneybags that people don’t like to buy the whole party members, either at ward, local, state or federal level.

naturefellow:
make sense.
Quora gives you a first-witness account of Intimate Partner Abuse (IPA) especially from Indian women. Middle Easterner women hardly come publicly on same reports.

A decent percentage of marriages are thive on love. While another percentage founded on love fell apart. The percentage of arranged marriage is the least. However, I've heard of partners sometimes walk out of ,or be skeptical of arranged marriages. They often look like thriving businesses, convenient arrangements.

In the current planned amendment to the Animal Welfare Act, Agriculture Minister Ilse Aigner (CSU) actually didn't want to change anything in this regard. However, animal welfare organizations applied pressure, speaking of "animal abuse" and "animal rape." In advertisements, they used drastic photos of badly injured animals, even though such cases are already punishable by law today.Aigner reacted at the end of August and promised that sex with animals would be punished as a regulatory offense in the future. In the process, even "non-significant" injuries resulting from such practices were to be sanctioned with a fine.

Interspecies Sex
Most recently, the coalition tightened the draft bill once again. Now, it no longer depends on an injury to the animal; the decisive factor is the coercion into "unnatural behavior" (artwidrigem Verhalten). The coalition wants to ban using an animal "for one's own sexual acts or training or providing it for the sexual acts of third parties, thereby forcing it into unnatural behavior." This was stated by Hans-Michael Goldmann (FDP), the chairman of the Agriculture Committee.
The tightening is possibly compensation for the fact that the original reform goals were not achieved. Aigner wanted to ban the castration of piglets without anesthesia starting in 2017. Additionally, branding horses was to be prohibited. On both points, Aigner had to back down due to pressure from the agricultural and horse lobbies. Following the Black-Yellow (CDU/CSU and FDP) agreement, thigh branding will remain permitted with pain-relieving measures. For piglet castration, a type of local anesthesia will only be mandatory starting at the end of 2018.

The amendment to the Animal Welfare Act is scheduled to be discussed in the Agriculture Committee on Wednesday and passed in the Bundestag in mid-December.
The ban on zoophilia primarily affects the relatively small scene of people who—openly or anonymously—admit to having sex with animals. A constitutional complaint has been announced from within their ranks.

What experience does the so called older leaders have to offer?

All they are known for is looting and amassing wealth to the detriment of the people they swore to serve.

What Nigeria need is not experience but sincere leadership.

I agree with you, but funny enough if we are to go by your logic then this coalition should not even be in the adc as they broke every rule of the party 🤣

amoco:
Bully... manipulate... entitled....all three words are wrong to be applied to those who supported one when one needed help. It's a dangerous trend that could turn the tables and make some adults re-think support for youngsters. Many young people already feel some adults are not providing them the required help or support or platform to succeed. It could be worse if most people think helping their aged parents or relatives are a big unwarranted burden.
