In SW states, GEJ will win Lagos n Ondo state. And it will garner some votes of 30% from the remaining four states. In NW states, GEJ will garner 30% votes likewise NE. In NC states, GEJ will garner 70% votes while in SE and SS it is 90% votes. Mark this comment today and tell me the outcome of the election in 2015. 2 Likes |

The more I read FFK of late, the more I enjoy his summations. I wish more Youruba leaders will be just as outspoken on national issues as FFK, and especially on matters concerning SW, and Edo politics. @Cramjones: Here is my take --- I agree with idea of zoning the presidency to the North not because there are no capable people in other regions but because it could bring peace to our nation. A nation cannot progress without peace and more so it was the South who defaulted on PDP pre-arranged power sharing formula. Presidential Slot The foremost challenge is to find a candidate from the North that is acceptable to both North and South. A person who is seen as a liberal and a performer. Buhari stands shoulder above the rest in the performance category, but I'm not sure if he's perceived as liberal especially for Southerners who are very wary of islamization -even though it's an unfounded fear; nevertheless, the fear is real. As for me Buhari is the most qualified. El Rufai, I have no doubt will do a very good job, but cannot garner enough votes to close the deal. Tambulawal is moderate and will be a good candidate if he defects. VP Slot: As for VP slot, Fashola is the key to SW, the other current SW governors are doing very well but they are yet to earn their stripes. Do not be bothered about Muslim/Muslim ticket crap. Average SW'ner doesn’t give a fuccck if you are Muslim or Christian. For us in the SW, it boils down to performance. It is whoever can get the job done. We are just tired of this ineptitude. We need a performer. Hopefully under APC, the VP will not be a lame duck. A good thing will be to put Power under the purview of the VP. If APC makes this a campaign promise and Fashola is selected as VP. APC can be sure that SW is in the pocket. APC should not bother looking for any VP candidate in the SE/SS, not because there are no credible candidates but that region is safe for PDP. Rochas or Amechi are good performers, and good enough to even be the top ticket, but unfortunately their zone is safe PDP. 2 Likes |

cramjones: You were a minister right? Maybe I'm mixing up my memories. ACN(APC) has been in Lagos for over 14 years and Tinubu went to UK for knee treament. Did GEJ also ban them from building a hospital that can treat his knee? Or is it the 8billion Yatch that's "bad business"? Maybe I expected too much from you. 2 Likes |

I agree with cramjones on a basic point: There will only be near 100% turnout of voters in the SW and NW if the 2 zones produce both the Presidential and VP nominee. Anything else, and GEJ will make significant in-roads in those zones. |

Geniro: The horse dies in battle because it could not refuse its riders. The spoon dives into hot soup because it cannot say no. The fly follows the corpse into the grave because of its greed and foolishness. Whatever the wise man says is usually tactlessly parroted by the jester. Here, you are the horse, the spoon and the fly. On a milder note, you are also the jester. Enough said. 2 Likes |

dayokanu: Buhari could be his mentor, just as Tinubu is, to Fashola. Anyway, I almost forgot the FCT in our calculations. Assuming the APC gets 25% in 25 states, and doesn't do the same in the FCT, the election will still go to a runoff. But that's a long shot, because as things stand, the APC should be able to garner even 30% in the FCT. |

CFCfan: All you have said is largely academic, however elements of it make sense. If the elections result in a run-off, then it looks like APC will win - barring any major electoral fraud. Having said that, given the appetite for change within the vast majority of the polity, I envisage a shift from a PDP run government. 3 Likes |

emiye: Buhari / Fashola , if APC needs to avoid a muslim-muslim situation, then Buhari / Pat utomi. I love Pat Utomi but such an arrangement can only work if he is given a defined responsibility. There is a difference between Politics and Economics, especially in Nigeria. Utomi is a good economist but does he have the aptitude for dirty politics in Nigeria? I dont think so. 3 Likes |

ilugunboy: No, because they think they are sophiscated, they should start querying tinubu on how he spends SW IGR. That is the immediate problem of the yorubas, and nit mere vice presidency. U ppl allow tinubu to enjoy all the tax payers money like u all are illiterates, yet u will come here on NL and claim u are sophisticated? Are u ppl not like hausas in this regard? . Igbos dont claim to be politically savvy but they object to extortion without due compensation. Aba Women's riot of 1929 is clear for all to see. |

i have never hated and yet loved a country like i do my Nigeria. Our citizens are the smartest yet the dullest in every standard. We have everything in our hands to make every single country Africa inconsequential. Now to the issue at hand, why don't we see that an Hausa man in Aso rock in 2015 won't change anything in the country, neither would a Yoruba or Igbo man make the difference. We all too tribal conscious. When one tribe gets up there, the others patiently wait for their turn to loot, creat unpatriotic alliances and steal the country dry and this corupt circle goes up and down. It's my opinion fiscal federalism is the key. All regions produce and maintain their resources and pay task to the federal government. That way the presidency is less sought after. Each region are locked in a healthy rivary of competition. This happened before the civil war so i'm not saying anything new. I can see the east becoming the Asian tigers of Africa, the west a stable mixed economy that's very advanced. The south-south becoming the African dubai with cash flow and the north the agricultural hub of the country. That's my suggest and i stand to be corrected but it's a heap lot better than putt4ng on tribal blinders and screen it's the turn of my tribe to be president. |

If Fashola is given the VP slot, then the whole SW is in APC forget and he'd likely garner some votes also in SS states. The key to APC winning the presidential election is by not fielding any defecting PDP member, that will be their greatest undoing. Not even Kwankwasko (what's the spelling sef) will suffice, we don't want recycled PDP members as flagbearer. |

CFCfan: After everything, remember to factor in that state of origin is different from state of residence. Cities with large population in Nig are largely cosmopolitan hence permutations might not work. Most hausas in the SE/SS wl vote for buhari, most igbos anywhere will vote for GEJ. Just a thought. |

Re: My Stand On Who APC Should Field For The Presidency/VP - Femi Fani-kayode by Nobody: 10:45pm On Jan 06, 2014 |
ketoprofen:You've got a valid point there. But the Yorubas and the Hausa-Fulani still make up a majority of the population in both the SW and NW respectively. Even at that, the "non-indigenes" in those zones are still likely to cast their vote for the APC. The election is surely going to be fascinating. I can't remember the last time an incumbent Nigerian President has been so close to losing an election. |
Re: My Stand On Who APC Should Field For The Presidency/VP - Femi Fani-kayode by larride(m): 10:47pm On Jan 06, 2014 |
ketoprofen: You and I know that politics is a game of numbers, its a known fact that GEJ will win 95% of the votes in SE and 80% in SS, APC will want to produce a candidate that will win their territory, right now, nobody in SE/SS can wrestle votes from PDP for APC, you know that, I know that and I'm sure APC strategist know that also, so they will think about their own stronghold and win their also. That's the reality on ground. |

Italiano1: Pat Utomi is a trade off , if APC wants to avoid a muslim/muslim ticket mudslinging. Pat Utomi is seen as a technocrat, with virtually no stained past record, popular in Lagos, which holds 40% of the SW votes, a Delta-Igbo, ...... . Yes, Utomi is not a "politician", but he will only be a running mate. i dont know your context of defined responsibility, is it pre election or post election? If it is post election, V.P are as useful as their defined responsibility |
