now u people want southern unity abi? No more SW or se or SS, u call for unity when it is convenient for u and jettison it when it does not suit ur purposes. Fyi there is no southern Nigeria, there is only SW, SS and se.

I saw a link yesterday saying register to campaign for tinubu for 20k

oga go and register and collect ur money but on election day do not disappoint ur conscience.

PassingShot:
I have read a lot of people saying "no to Muslim-Muslim ticket" ...

Why can't it be a muslim-Christian ticket? Why can't Tinubu's deputy be a Christian Igbo?

You could pass the message across to him.

Now I know that naija is created to be useless forever.
I keep wondering why nobody is questioning how Tinubu and Atiku won their respective party tickets when u hv young men in their parties?
Does it mean that there are no young and vibrant young men in their parties?
Well, I wish them well,nmine is to gather fund and leave this kantry for una

oga did u not hear rumours of how thousands of dollars was shared to delegates? Delegates were not interested in the future of the country but in their pocket

The issue now is that, can Northerner vote for LP?

Northerner or no Northerner. The Northern issue is over hyped. There are many Northern Christians, 11m Igbos in the North, and quite a number of muslims who will be ready to vote for you if you are good.

GEJ had 8M votes in the North in 2011.

I have read a lot of people saying "no to Muslim-Muslim ticket" even before Asiwaju emerged. Now that he has emerged as the standard bearer of APC with Atiku as the major challenge to him, I wonder why a Muslim-Muslim ticket of Tinubu presidency is not better than a return of the presidency to north possibly for another eight years after 8 years of PMB.

Like or loathe APC, it has demonstrated being a truly progressive party by standing with a return of the presidency to the South even after Atiku had emerged as PDP's candidate. PDP damned everything common sense by making Atiku emerge with possibility of keeping the presidency in the north and a lot of people seem not to care because PDP is doing what they need to do to win the election without considering fairness and equity.

I am strongly convinced that when the time comes, majority of voters will side with an APC' Muslim-Muslim ticket which returns presidency to the south and reject a Muslim-Christian ticket which keeps the presidency to the north for another eight years to make it 16 straight years of Northern dominance.

we have a better alternative

Tellwhat:

You've proven that it's U, that's the goat here

Disrespect begets disrespect

So you know how to run your mouth like tap but when they dish you same meal you served you complain. U insulted first now dey complete. Mumu boy from a mumu family

I insulted first? Look at you, go back and check your insulting comment on my mention. You said I was the reason why there is brain drain in the country. What effrontery!

I was jejely minding my business posted my comment on the post but being the trouble-some person that you are, you had to loose focus on the post and then began to write rubbish on my mention.

You are not too big or old to learn, go and learn manner of approach in a faceless forum. If your parents did not teach you. It is never too late.

nkem1992:

I quote from your post;
structure, money, influence, loyalty, turn by turn, divisive politics, nepotism etc. We need to break it.....let Integrity and track record precede over the aforementioned....how can a professor deputize an illiterate, how can delegates chose Tinubu over Osinbajo, how can the cost of leadership which is suppose to be selflessness cost billions of naira, Ill rather waste my vote on peter obi who has the least chance than subscribe to the two party horse race that has perpetually coerced is into voting for a lesser devil.

Ok so peter obi is the best plug according to you.

PDP last PRESIDENT is a CHRISTIAN so what PDP is doing to win the election is considering fairness and equity. The current President is a muslim and northerner we all know but he is not from PDP so both parties are doing the right thing in picking or zoning it presidential candidate but you see that MUSLIM-MUSLIM TICKET OR CHRISTIAN-CHRISTAIN TICKET IS NOT ACCEPTABLE

PassingShot:

I don't know any northern Christian who can sincerely get him enough votes in the north, especially the core north. Politics is about playing your best card to win.

Was Osibanjo politically vibrant when he was chosen?

. You will live long. Don't mind narrow minded people calling Atiku and Tinubu here and there. No sense everywhere. I'm tired of some people in this country. Just travel or watch video of abroad, u will weap for this country. Fight for a better Nigeria. One love.

TheFacelessMan:


Sorry to be so blunt.

1. Northern Christians are despised in their region and have very little influence. In fact, Dogara has control of just 3 LGAs in Bauchi State - as strong as he's touted. Tinubu will definitely lose if he tries it. If you notice, El Rufai said he would do Muslim / Muslim ticket in Kaduna, and he won. Didnt you also notice that Tinubu didn't waste time during campaign with delegates in certain regions?

2. Now, one secret that Southern people don't know, Atiku is really hated in the North. He has a reputation of a snake. He's widely abused as a homo and not a true Muslim. He's said to have been cursed to never be President by a popular Islamic Cleric. To be honest, I still don't understand the hate.

3. Tinubu will pick someone very strong from the North and he will be a Muslim. Northerners even see it as a revenge because OBJ foisted an unhealthy Yaradua that didn't really rule actively. They feel BAT might die in power or the VP does most of the heavy lifting.

By the time Tinubu calls meetings of traditional religious leaders and the big Pastors of Yorubaland e.g. Adeboye, Kumuyi and Oyedepo.... you will be shocked how the potential 60% SW votes turns to 80 or even 90! Oh I even forgot his wife is a Pastor in RCCG and not in the Senate (free to campaign). Remi will go to mega churches - Yorubas undisputably have the biggest.... and preach every Sunday.

Bloc votes from SW and a North 50/50 or even 40% from North will win it for BAT.

Politicians do their calculations well... no matter Atiku's vice, he's very unlikely to win. That's just the reality.

Tinubu is a strong politician but I doubt anyone was sure he would soundly thrash President + Vice President + Senate President + Party Chairman. Did we really expect such a wide margin?

Politicians are like sharks, they easily smell blood in the water I.e. they quickly jump to the side of a potential winner. The APC primaries was an eye-opener for many. SS will smartly fall in line, BAT might not win there but he will do better than projected. SE will be stubborn as usual and unfortunately shout marginalization later. Unfair it might seem but true.

The main election campaigns might be physically tasking for him, but he will very likely trounce Atiku. The other candidates don't matter at all; not worth mentioning.

Tinubu can only lose if he chooses Ganduje (bad reputation) or a Northern Christian. Or Yoruba/Yoruba ticket ....

I'm a Northerner, Seems you're from the North too. LOL

I reckon Tinubu's biggest shot maybe Mal Nasiru

Atiku's problem is the 14 NORTHERN GOVERNORS. Too much for him to work around.
But there's still a little time for enough smear campaign to influence opinions a bit. There are certain collaborations/partnership that could still happen to shake things a bit.

SANE YOUTHS WILL VOTE PETER OBI BUT BASTARDS, IDIOTS AND CONDEMNED FOOLS WILL VOTE Tinubu OR ATIKU.

CHEAP PAID AGENT.

the only people supporting muslim-muslim leadership are the useless muslims who have evil intents in mind

Don't insult people like this bros. There is a better way u can still say this to avoid hating you and creating wounds in people minds. They are useful and not useless as u see them especially during elections. You can educate them to pls see reasons why they should vote for competency and not be religiously drunk for the sake of our children's future.
