At first bolded, BAT tenure will be worse than Buhari, he is too old to rule Nigeria. We need someone with fresh idea, not employing 50million youth and feed them with Cassava, Àgbado'


At second bolded, isn't is obvious that Peter Obi is the best option for now?

Sugbon werey lopoju ninu awon eniyan, they will rather vote for their tribesman. They love Suffering more than anything

While I personally do not want Atiku or Tinubu.

I strongly believe that Kwankwaso is a way better candidate than Obi.

Just go and do your research on their performances as governors of their respective states. I am from Anambra state...but lets keep sentiments aside.

Kwankwaso is more experienced, bearing in mind the increasing threats and sophistication of insecurity.

Obi missed it when he left PDP for Labour Party. He could have joined Kwankwaso in NNPP as running mate, especially given the widespread belief of Nigerians that he is savvy in matters relating to economy ( even though I very much doubt this), and in recognition of the constitutional role of the VP as the head of the Economy.

I keep saying it, just like I said about Jonathan before he emerged as president, this Obi man is overrated.

Undoubtedly, Kwankwaso is more experienced having served as Defence Minister and Senator unlike Obi.

You are paid to argue and market Atiku as non Fulani so just continue since all the evidences you pretend to be blind to them and you shluof know that whether Fulani or not If you are destined to Lead you shall lead ,but a dishonest person that values peanuts over his integrity will never be satisfied.

To get your running mate will never be an issue for you a visionary leader you are ,surrounded with hardworking and intellectual people. Wish you all the best our incoming president. My state is already in your pocket even Obaseki can't work against interest.

You're too ashamed to identify yourself as a Yoruba man. Inferiority complex is too bad

You are not getting it, the slogan here is 'No to another fulani after Buhari 8 years" so Atiku is dead on arrival. We have live under the terror of Fulani so much, we won't empower them again in 2023.

u get sense,I can never vote another fulani man, never

Lawlab254:
Okay. Namadi Sambo was one of GEJs undoing. Sambo had no political clout in the North. He had nothing to bring to the table. Atiku almost beat Buhari in 2019 because he ran with Obi, whose political clout in the South East/South South is currently unmatched. BAT, to stand a chance, don't be a GEJ, be an Atiku. A party's running mate is as important as the flag bearer.

For a balanced ticket, you need a Northern Christian with a big clout. But which Northern Christian has such a clout? The kind of clout Obi has in the South. The kind of Clout Kwankwaso, El Rufai and Zulum have in the north? Answer is none. BAT, that leaves you with a very tempting Moslem/Moslem Ticket, which equally, is a recipe for failure.

But being the political enigma that you are, I like to think that you know all these already, and I am interested to see how you handle this conundrum. May the best candidate win.

Edo no be Lagos

Tinubu will definitely clear Edo unless Wike is Atiku's running mate. Wike has repeatedly stated he's from Edo state and we like him a lot for his ruggedness. With Wike Pdp would 55% to 60% without Wike APC clears Edo

TriCee:
Sometimes I just wish all these guys should rule their zones and regions as presidents, make everybody rest.

SS/SE - Peter Obi
S/W - Tinubu
North - Atiku

Hence, everyone gets a full taste of what and who they've chosen to support.

no dey add SS join SE. Wike or Amaechi will humiliate Obi in SE

If not for covid 19 that exposed the secretary general of the federal government, mr Mustafa, he would have been considered.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
All youths and Christains are getting their pvc to vote for Peter Obi.Its foolishness for a Muslim to succeed Buhari after 8yrs.

Continue to deceive your self, our next president is a Muslim from South West, take it to the bank.

Mccullum:

Yoruba Muslim votes alone can't make tinubu president

CoolAmbience:


Clout or cloth.... whichever!

What Obi has is a Twitter electorate. Why couldn't Obi use his clout to win Anambra for Obaze and Ozigbo in two successive elections?

Obi that Obiano took care of like a little school boy in the kindergarten of politics....abeg, make we hear word!

Obi that does not believe in the existence of LGA system, as the instrument for delivering democratic dividends to the vast majority of the people in the hinterlands, to the extent that he didn't conduct LGA elections in 8 years....

Atiku almost won Buhari indeed by losing by over 4million votes...what a near miss?

On Sambo and Jonathan, just keep living the lie that Sambo caused Jonathan's failure.

As far as objectivity is concerned, Jonathan lost simply as a result of incapacity, infidelity and gross non performance.

Infidelity in the sense that he could not keep his word on a widely publicized, high profile one-term presidency agreement he entered into with 'heavyweight' stakeholders of his party, including Babangida, Danjuma, Abdulsalam etc, brokered by Obasanjo. Was Sambo not his running mate in 2011 when he won?

Also, he couldn't properly sustain the rock-solid political alliances that delivered him the presidency in 2011, such as the ones with Tinubu, Obasanjo etc. For instance, he lost the states that he won in 2011 to Buhari in 2015....just 4 years later for losing his alliance with Tinubu and the Southwest. How is that Sambo's fault?

Importantly, his performance in office was abysmal, to say the least. He put together and kept a team of unscrupulous individuals as ministers and aides, coupled with an uncouth wife.

His presidency was one which was destined to fail even before it started.... let's just say that destiny happened.

Twitter electorates are still valid electorates. As you are on Nairaland, you probably have your PVC as I do. So does millions of Nigerians on twitter. That Twitter users don't have PVC is a stale joke taken too far. Some persons on Nairaland don't have a PVC, that doesn't negate the fact that most do have it. So, that Twitter argument is a fallacy at best.

Obi as a PDP man was not involved in Anambra politics after his tenure. The only reason he decamped to PDP was because of the national outlook of the party. In national elections, APGA always back PDP, as all South-Eastern states had for the past 23years. APGA didn't field a candidate in 2019 because of Obi. So mate, there is no beef between Obiano and Obi, nor APGA and Obi. Nobody in Anambra can floor Obi, if there is such a person, it is certainly not Obiano. Obi has a God-like fellowship in Anambra.

That Obi didn't allow LGA elections didn't prevent him from delivering the dividends of democracy to the grassroots. You don't understand the character of Obi yet. He is always averse to wastage and does his best to plug all such channels that encourages misuse of resources. Local government chairmen, in my opinion, are just another set of political undertakers. They don't deliver.

Yes, Atiku almost won Buhari, and 4million votes margin in a country of 200million+ population is not so big a margin. To put it into better perspective, Buhari won in 19 states, Atiku won in 17 states. Atiku also won in the FCT, if you add that to the 17 states, that's 18. So, Buhari led with just 1. So, I was right when I said Atiku almost beat Buhari.

On Sambo-Jonathan, I maintain my position that Sambo was and still is, a political neophyte and inconsequential in the scheme of things, as far as politics in the north is concerned. His son even lost in a primary of recent. He couldn't even deliver his own son in his own state. If GEJ had someone with the kind of clout Kwankwaso, Atiku, Zulum, Sanusi etc have, there is no way in the world that Buhari could have beat him in 2015. Yes, GEJ won with Sambo in 2011, but Sambo wasn't the contributory factor to that. So many things were in play in 2011, GEJ still had and enjoyed the good will of his former boss Yar'Adua in the north. Sambo is unknown in the north. Some persons currently can't even remember who he is. Some can't even recognise his face if you put him on a poster today, except you add his name to it. Some don't even know his name. This is the truth.

Speaking of GEJ reneging on a purported 1 tenure agreement, without conceding that he made such deal, but assuming he did make such an agreement, which politician ever kept such a bogus promise? So, stop talking about infidelity in that aspect when politicians are involved. They are all the same. None would keep such an agreement. There is no honour among thieves (if I may use that aphorism). GEJ didn't lose in 2015 because of an imaginary agreement. I don't think there was such an agreement, but I don't deny that there may have been such an "assumption" in the minds of some Northern political big wigs. The primary reason GEJ lost in 2015 was because of the insecurity perpetuated by Boko Haram and aided by northerners to spite/discredit GEJs government. GEJ was painted black using terrorism just demarket him before the electorates. That's like giving a dog a bad name so you could hang it. Buhari was packaged as a saviour, as the one to restore peace and crush the Boko Haram, after all, he is a retired General. Did he deliver on that? No, the situation has even snowballed into more terrorist organisations. One of the actors that packaged PMB to the electorates was BAT. He made tall promises. They didn't fullfil even one. How are you even thinking of voting in someone whose idea of growing the economy and quelling insecurity is to "recruit 50million youth into the army and feed them with Cassava and Agbado, Corn etc, to create demand". Is that how bright he is? This goes to tell you that Nigeria's economic, security and unemployment woes are far from over if BAT emerges. Have you even listened to people like Obi, Osinbajo, Moghalu etc? Have you listened to these bright minds proffer plausible solutions to the problems facing us as a country?

Saying that GEJ performed abysmally in office, well you may be right to an extent if we look at leadership through the lens of international standards, but when you put his government and that of PMB on the same pedestal to juxtapose the 2, GEJs records shine brighter. The currently inflation and naira free fall is a testament to the poor economic policies of PMB, compared to GEJ. Dollar is headed to 600 naira Sir. Can you point to one technocrat of fine repute in this government? I can point you to Ezekwesili, Adesina, Akunyili, Sanusi etc. These persons have made their marks, not just in Africa, but at the world stage. Which minister in this administration is without so much baggage? With Ministers and public officers competing to outdo each other in the looting spree, or do you want me to reel out numbers for you? Your jaws would drop if I do. You might even have a heart attack because of the mammoth figures being syphon.

PMBs administration has virtually mortgaged the future of Nigeria in exchange for Chinese loans. Do you know what the figures are currently, compared to GEJs? Should we talk about insecurities? At least, during GEJs time, we had only Boko Haram to contend with. PMB came and we have Boko Haram, ISWAP, Bandits and a thousand and one other splinter terrorist organisations actively competing for blood of innocent Nigerians. Do we talk about the ethnic tension currently pervading the nation's atmosphere? Apart from during the 1966 pogrom targeted at Igbos, Nigeria has never been as divided. In fact, Nigeria is even more divided now than in 1966. At least, back then, Igbos were the ones bearing the brunt, today, almost all the ethnic nationalities are rising.

Do we talk about the impunity and lopsided appointments that characterise this dispensation, in complete disregard to the constitutionally enshrined tenets of Federal character, which GEJ and his predecessors obeyed completely.

As for Mrs. Patience Jonathan, you need not reference her in this discuss. She wasn't a state actor. You risk being petty if you insist.

If you are not convinced by the points I have canvassed so far, simply do a referendum in your neighbourhood, on your Whatsapp status, Facebook or any medium that suits you, ask your audience to choose between GEJs tenure and PMBs, you will have your answer.

Vox Populi est vox Dei.

The Chairman of Yoruba Council of Obas in FCT, Abuja, Dr. Olusegun Salau, urged Tinubu to forgive those that competed with him at the APC convention.
Tinubu is a very powerful man O!
