How many Northern states was PDP controlling in 2015? How many did they win in presidential election? Una go learn the hard way. That was how PDP too was boasting then

DispatcherLagos:
Which do you think Tinubu will win?

ayo2008:
He is old simple.
The wealth of experience that he can't share with Buhari for 8 years?
Keep swimming in the ocean of deception.

ayo2008:
Tinubu is old

tctrills:
On your 20 naira is the face of the Architect of the bloodiest coup in Nigeria. We really don't care too much about coups so let's not pretend Nzeogwu's coup was any different.

danvon:
There is a good reason why Buhari and Obasanjo are the only leaders to rule democratically for 8 years in this country.

Nigeria craves a dictator.

That is Tinubu biggest disqualification, although intelligent he is no longer strong, he can't lead war against terrorism...

How can you give morale to troops when you can't hold the flag properly.

THE BOLDED IS ALL THAT IT TAKES. DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR, THE PRESIDENT OF AMERICA WAS IN A WHEEL CHAIR.

Malory:
So Delta state is now part of Igbo land abi?

danvon:
If Tinubu wins Igbos will scream...
If Peter Obi wins Nigeria will burn...

Atiku cannot win, he has handicapped himself early on and divided his party

The only thing that can save this country is a multi ethnic military coup...

We need a dictator who will give us peace, peace of mind.

God Bless Nigeria

WHAT IS NEW ABOUT THE SCREAMING OF IGBOS?! LOL....HOW CAN THAT BE A REASON FOR A MILITARY COUP. . I GUESS YOU ARE NOT VAST IN THE HISTORY OF NIGERIA.

ANYWAY ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU IS NIGERIA'S NEXT PRESIDENT BY THE GRACE OF GOD.

bencr7:
abeg carry diz ur lies,get out from their,may ur life be d way apc administration rule nigeria

israelmao:
Your Tinubu is like a proverbial story of an elephant who was led by tortoise to a fake throne meant to ensnare him with pomp and pageantry but was too late before he realized it.

bencr7:
who told u diz rubbish,Mr fake prophet,obi and kwakwanso is working for apc ,that have destroy d country finish.
U are truly d human that cartoon pic below,is talking about!

Massiveglory:
Emilokan is busy meeting with political party delegates. He still thinks nosthis is the apc primaries where he dollarized delegates with our stolen funds.

PODATTI the incoming president and vice is are meeting with the citizens of Nigeria, the real structures that make the nation.

It is not difficult to know the president the Nation yearns for.

Vote wisely..

Danisaint112:
With the way this election is going are you sure that even Kwankwaso won't beat BAT in this coming election?

But on a serious note Kwankwaso is more presentable/sellable than Tinubu. Infact he is almost a saint in terms of comparison. So yes, Kwankwaso will have my vote if such happens.

But we all know such a thing won't happen so Peter Obi all the way...

Just look at this Lion and Lioness below. Tell me how cool will be if they become your Presido and first lady?

There is no starved man that will see a nicely prepared and tasty Party Jellof rice and chicken and reject it to pick garri without sugar. Na ment!?

Only the mentally unstable will do that. That's why this election is an important factor to determine the number of those that need mental rehabilitation in this country.

ObiDatti is the Goal!

israelmao:
I don't think Reno and his principal enjoy good night sleep since Obi joined the presidential race,Obi used to be treated as infinistimal and second fiddle but today second hardly passes without opposition parties and their supporters talking about him this is a clear sign of hell on earth his emergence as L.P. presidential flagbearer is giving them and sign of electoral victory come February.Obiphobia is real.

Pemco:
:


It appears all APC followers take drugs....just wake up a write anything.

davodyguy:
Don't rejoice yet

Kendo93:
you go cry laslas

onez:
Before you disagree, go through previous comments of urchins. It's just hatred for Igbo man. It's unfortunate that in 2023, an Asian is prime minister of Britain but an Igbo man can't be president in his own country. This is one of Buhari's legacy.

1Dray:
Oga, you're just delusional, all these governors have just one vote. The people will determine who wins this coming election not politicians.

greenandy:
If Charles Soludo comes to contest presidential election in future, you will NEVER vote for him. Now he is like your political idol because he opposes Peter Obi.

1Dray:
But the odds are more against your principal the bat. Remember we have just one winner. Don't be caught dwelling in delusional living.

BRIMBRAM:
THE ODDS FAVORS TINUBU TO WIN THE 2023 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. IT'S TOO OBVIOUS UNLESS TO THE BLIND AND DELUDED.


For those running around focusing on Tinubu’s age, certificates, alleged ill-health, bublubla and Muslim-Muslim ticket, that is an ineffective political tactic.

Here is Atiku’s challenge. It is in the numbers!
The same applies to Peter Obi or Kwankwanso.

Below are 14 Northern states with APC governors.
Which one do you think Atiku's PDP, or Kwankwanso's NNPP or Peter Obi's Labour Party will win?

1.Borno state: Babagane Zulum
2. Gombe state: Inuwa Yahaya
3. Jigawa state: Badaru Mohammed
4. Kaduna state: Nasir El Rufai
5. Kano state: Umar Ganduje
6. Katsina state: Aminu Masari
7. Kwara state: A AbdulRasaq
8. Nasarawa state: Abdulahi Sule
9. Niger state: Abubakar Bello
10. Plateau state: Simon Lalong
11. Zamfara state: Bello Matawalle
12. Kebbi state: Atiku Bagudu
13. Yobe state: Mai Mala Buni
14. Kogi State: Yaya Bello

At the Eagle Square in Abuja, 13 of them campaigned for and got Tinubu elected as the Presidential flagbearer of the APC.
Today, all these governors, including Yaya Bello of Kogi State are supporting Tinubu and there is no crack in their ranks.

Can Atiku or Kwankwanso or Obi peel away any of these govs?

Can any of these opposition candidates win any of these states without the governor's support?

For emphasis I have also included the south-western states under APC control or in Tinubu’s electoral basket:

The South-Western APC state are:
1. Lagos: Sanwo-Olu
2. Ekiti: Abiodun Oyebanji
3. Ogun: Dapo Abiodun
4. Ondo: Rotimi Akeredolu
5. Osun
6. Oyo
Which of these states can Atiku or Kwankwanso or Obi win?

To complicate Atiku’s path to victory is the enthusiasm being generated mostly in some southern cities for Peter Obi's Candidacy. In the south, the PDP is mostly dominant in the South South and South East. Even 3 of the governors in these states are APC!

In 2015, the APC won mainly because all the opposition political parties merged and formed a formidable political platform whereas the ruling PDP was enmeshed in an intractable crisis and a political war of attrition with at least 5 sitting governors, the Senate President, Speaker of the House of Representatives, several senators and House of Representatives members including serving Ministers leaving the party. The exact reverse scenario is playing out in 2023. The APC is intact but the opposition is sinking deeper into opposition and is fragmented with Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwanso leaving the PDP. The PDP G-5 governors have crossed the rubicon and will not be supporting Atiku’s candidacy in the presidential election. They are expected to declare their support for either Tinubu or less likely Peter Obi in the coming days. This will be fatal to Atiku’s chances and unlikely to shore up Peter Obi's chances in any significant manner.

Until we see a crack in the APC governor's support, Tinubu is sitting pretty well and the odds are clearly in his favour to win.

The opponents of the APC Candidate say the Buhari administration has not done well but this is vehemently contested by APC party stalwarts who insist that Buhari is the best thing to happen to Nigeria. Will this count during the 2023 Presidential election? The answer so far is No using Ekiti gov election as a barometer, even though it is a very small sample size. Even the Osun election was won by PDP simply because Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola and his faction of the APC are alleged to have worked against the candidate of the APC.

Those opposed to Tinubu, rather than hold him to a campaign of issues are wasting their time with his age, alleged ill-health, his Muslim choice as running mate etc. They even want the courts and INEC to disqualify Tinubu. None of these will work or even happen!
Indeed, Tinubu has so far campaigned more hungrily and more comprehensively than any of his challengers. From the UK to Saudi Arabia, then Kano and Edo states and then back to Kano...all in 4 days! On monday, 9th January, he will be in Adamawa state with President Muhammadu Buhari leading the charge for votes in the state and other core northern states in quick succession putting a lie to the claim by the PDP that Buhari has vowed not to join the Asiwaju campaign train. The supposedly fitter candidates are all lagging behind Asiwaju.

The only way to defeat Tinubu will be at the ballot by all the opposition candidates stepping down for only one of them but this will also never happen. Tinubu is still in pole position for now and coasting to victory.

Atiku lacks the bite....majority of southerners are also unlikely to stomach a potential 16 years of a northerner presidency. In a very commendable display of statesmanship, patriotism and to guarantee national cohesion stability, the political leaders of Northern Nigeria also desire to respect the North-South power rotation on which plank President Goodluck Jonathan was defeated in the North and then eventually nationally in 2015.

It is almost late in the day to upstage the entrenched political system in Nigeria and by the current political and electoral system and in a free and fair contest, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu appears unstoppable and a Jagaban presidency looms large.

1Dray:
Does this even make sense to you? The question still remains, Where will Tinubu get his votes from if Peter Obi wins SE, SS, and part of NC and Kwankwaso wins NW?

LOL . SO YOU ARE ONE OF THE DELUDED ONES. AS OBVIOUS AS THE PERMUTATIONS YOU ARE STILL SO BLIND. HABA! .

ATIKU ABUBAKAR, THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OF PDP IS THE ONE WHO IS IN A DILEMMA. HE ALSO HAVE THE G5 PDP GOVERNORS TO WORRY ABOUT.

Gbogbowa:
The greatest evil that will affect Tinubu in the race is the presence of kwankwoso all the votes that would have come naturally to Tinubu goes to kwankwoso and that weakens Tinubu chances

LOL . SO YOU ARE ONE OF THE DELUDED ONES

MadamExcellency:
Get lost and get dirty. A presidential candidate said he will send his opponent out from Lagos State and back to his State not minding that the opponent has businesses in Lagos State. That's real tribalism.

Who do you think is begging you for votes? Stop being stupid and thinking Igbos are second class citizens. We can't be and will never succumb to blackmail.

Bryno insulted the Igbos, heads didn't roll. The incident didn't elicit tribal war rather the artist was roundly condemned and not any presidential candidate.

Just get lost. Evil tribalist feeling funky.
