Ibrahim Shinkafi, Zamfara north senatorial candidate of the New Nigerians Peoples Party (NNPP), and Suleiman Garba, the party’s house of representatives candidate for Shinkafi/Zurmi federal constituency, have joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Shinkafi and Garbi were said to have been welcomed into the APC by Abdul’aziz Yari, former governor of Zamfara, in Talata Marafa on Monday.

Aside from the duo, according to a statement by Dahiru Mafara, Yari’s media assistant, Suleiman Galadi, the state’s NNPP treasurer, and Aminu Kanoma, coordinator of a PDP group, were also welcomed to the APC.

“Kaura-Namoda and Zurmi Local Governments NNPP Chairmen were also among the defectors. The defectors also include the Coordinator of the foundation for the actualisation of PDP governorship candidate in 2023, Aminu Kanoma,” the statement reads.

The people supporting peter obi are true patriotic Nigerians

The others are loyal to their tribes and stomach and do not care what happens to country at large.

This man is different. Simple

drlateef:
In which constitution are you reading your own? Simple majority is the first consideration, not the number of states with at least 25% of votes. Nigeria does not run electoral college system. If the majority winner cannot get 25% in 2/3 of states, then it goes for rerun.

JoeNL22:
How?

JoeNL22:
Can you prove Obi is a Ipob?

Thanksful:
Tinubu's urchinss are very slow in reasoning.

To them the north will easily vote Tinubu and not vote Obi.

What is their reason?

Let me help them.

1) it is the turn of the christian to rule Nigeria at the moment after Buhari.

Why would Christians prefer Tinubu who is on a Muslim-Muslim ticket to Obi?

Let's I forget.

The christians in the North is made up of more than 50% of the North.

What Obi need is 40% of that 50%

To burst your bubble. More Muslims will vote Obi self.

For Atiku, most Muslims wouldn't even vote him because

He is seen as both corrupt and a thief

In case you don't know, the north hate thieves with passion.

Emeraldicon:
If this election will be just between Tinubu and Obi I will with no qualms give it to Tinubu.

I'm only predicting an Obi's victory based on the fact that Atiku and Kwankwaso are on the ballot too.

I'm sure you won't deny that the SE & SS have always voted same way and Obi will mostly likely win these two region with more than 60%.

Obi will also get up to 30-40% in states like Lagos, Oyo, Ondo and 25% in all other southwest states.

Obi will win Benue, Plateau, FCT, And he may win or do very well in states like Kaduna (Southern Kaduna voters), The Christians in Nassarawa will vote Obi so he will do very well there, he will also probably win Taraba or do well there. Christians in Bauchi, Gombe and Adamawa will give Obi the 25% he requires.

Obi will also gets some votes from Kano due to the igbos there, he will get also get some numbers from other states even if he doesn't get 25%.

So basically Obi has a much easier part to Victory then either Atiku or Tinubu.

Election is like a football match anything can happen but I really hate seeing or reading posts saying obi cannot win because he has the easiest path to victory unless he and the labour party refuse to do their home work well .

The problem I have with lot of us( me included) is we don't make research.
We just spew thrash and expect others to accept..
Eversince I know how to use Google, I hardly make any claim without verifying

SmartPolician:
There's no phrase like core North.

Specify the region because it's clear that Jonathan lost in all the NE and NW states.

Imo State voting strength dropped significantly.

Imo was the second-biggest voting block in the SE and SS after Rivers.

Carmal90:
You think Obi will win all southern states with Jonathan margin?
And for your information, though Jonathan lost in NW,NE in 2011, he didn't perform badly..
Obi can never get Jonathan figures in North

Emeraldicon:
I really like this your analysis. To win this election all Obi needs to do is win SE & SS convincingly and do very well in south west and probably win NC. The fact Atiku and Kwankwaso are from the North has diluted the votes from the North already. Even Tinubu will also get handsome votes from the North. But none will get any block vote.

Truly I don't see any Miracle the APC wants to perform to win this coming election. Tinubu won't get block votes from the SW, NE, NW or NC. SS & SE are no go area for any of them.

This Election is for Obi to lose because all indices favours him. My advice to the labour party is for them to not just depend on the obidients and support groups, Obi needs to spend enough money to get people to educate the voters in the villages to know how to vote LP.

kettykin:
This is exactly 2023 election with Peter Obi riding on Jonathan's backbone

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Peter Obi will start North campaign in January, so what are you saying.And North is Overated.Jonathan didn't win North in 2011 and still won the election.North won't give block votes to any candidate this time around.Atiku, Kwankwanso would split Northern votes, so it's not a threat

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Nobody takes your urchins serious.Anap was not rubbish in 2015 when they predicted Buhari to win abi

ganisucks:
Sorry, but according to ANAP poll, the most trustworthy poll in Nigeria, Atiku is the candidate to beat in Northwest and Northeast, except Kano state which Kwankwaso has locked down.

Laggafin:
Seun should flag D's account down for spreading fake news

azpekuliar:
Hmm. Am I engaging an illiterate?

ganisucks:
It's like they can't read or comprehend the English language.

ANAP polls are not online polls.
