Calm down till proper campaign begins. I believe PDP to an extent because PDP is objective.

At least they are the devils I understand to a large extent. I hate it a lot when Nigerians hype their political candidate.

This has nothing to do with popularity on social media. Obi may not have larger followers but may have large numbers of supporters on social media who support his aspiration.

Felimax:

Hmmm! You make a point here oooo!

PDP, Atiku and Okowa-the best and most ideal combination for Nigeria's progress. This is not an exaggeration.

Please stop the joke. I am sure your instinct is talking you the reverse is the case. Atiku is the next president. Just mark this down.

I dey follow Atiku on Twitter, yet I'll vote Peter Obi.

Trump had more followers than Biden, yet Sleepy Joe is president.

Peter Obi has taken a significant fraction of Atiku supporters. Those ones who haven't truly left Atiku are the few from the north.

We in PDP even know PO has clearer path to the presidency than Atiku.

Waziri will fail woefully in the South, except in SW where we expect him to battle Tinubu for Yoruba voters, clearing the way for PO to win.

In the NW, there is a Kwankwanso who we are expecting to inflict a mortal blow.

We are projecting Waziri to clear NE except Borno and Yobe, which are Tinubu's to lose.

Obi will clear Taraba.

NC is the battle ground and Waziri will struggle there. Plateau, Benue and FCT are all PO to lose.

Waziri will win Niger, while Kwara will go to Tinubu. Kogi will be shared between Atiku and Tinubu while Nasarawa is between the three candidates and we project PO to win with small margin.

It's obvious you're an impostor. I won't waste too much time on frivolities but Atiku is bound to win 4 of the 6 geopolitical zones conveniently. Aside polling the highest number of votes, he's the only one that would secure 25% in all the States including FCT. Mark this down and remind me in 2023.

Who is more loved

princepeter566:
Who is more loved

Do you follow someone you don't love or admire on social media?

Both - Atiku and Obi - are social media politicians. Nothing on ground. That is why this election is still advantage Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

So na that one you go take judge know the winner abi?

But politicians is the next President of Nigeria

You mean an account that was registered in 2018 to campaign for Atiku is an impostor?



Anyway, I don't have your time till next year. In 2007 when Atiku campaigned with his structure, he polled 2 million.

He polled 11 million in 2019 because of Peter Obi and Obi has left with chunk of that voters.

Who told you Atuku's 11 million votes were attributable to Peter Obi. The figure will even double in 2023 because Buhari is not contesting. We'll see next year.

Obi joined Twitter in 2018 and Atiku joined Twitter in 2010. After 8 more years come back and give us the latest figure.

Shallow thinking. Commanding followership does not depend on how long you've been on social media. It's a factor of your influence and admiration. You can hook on to Twitter today and generate unprecedented discipleship depending on how influential you're. Try to open your mind and learn

Chinkoalhaji34:
Vote Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Don't waste your vote.

You are the one that is a waste. See Nigerian supporting muslim-muslim corruption.
