This na serious matter o. 100% SE votes(home and away), 80% SS votes, 30% SW votes. I'm sure Yoruba elites would vote Atiku

This matter is seriously serious now for Buhari

talk2saintify:



Very smart decision from ATIKU
If Atiku Continues with this SMARTNESS, then winning 2019 elections would'nt be a problem
Even Though Peter Obi Never achieved any thing while in power during his tenure as the Governor of Anambra, Igbos and Easterners will still vote for him because Peter Obi is From the East!!
We already know that at least 55% of people who voted buhari during the last election are regretting it already, so we can admit that the reverse will be the case come2019.

PHILipu1:

Lol.
And you think Buhari will not also get votes from the south East?
Or you think Buhari ministers and political appointees in the south east will not also work for their boss.

Buhari has Obiano fully on his side now and it will be an interesting battle even in that Anambra state.


Atiku will lose north completely now because the northerners don't even want to have anything to do with the Igbo's.

kingshrd:
How many south easterner have pvc sef I tot the was for Biafra

Movic1:
Will people in the North vote for Atiku with an Igbo Vp?

What about people in the west?

They will leave Osibanjo and vote for Obi?

There will be a block vote for buhari in SW...

Atiku has lost it.... Wrong calculation.

Maket:
You have spoken well. The election will be a tough one but Atikwu can't win 2/3(24 out of 36) of the state as required in the constitution.

Odingo1:
Atiku will win, SE;SS;NC;NE.

Atiku all the way with Peter Obi.

Hedonini:
Well. Acceptable choice, even though I'd have preferred Okonjo-Iweala. But acceptable nonetheless.

The battle can now begin.

walexydo:
I am proudly from south-west, I would vote Atiku even if he picked his running-mate from northwest or northeast, that's is to tell you that some of us from southwest are not bothered where he picks his running-mate from

Lagzy12:


Forget Nairaland: even South West will be 50:50 at worst

deomelo:




When people start their posts with I'm Yoruba or I'm from the SW or I'm a Yoruba muslim, they are actually Igbos. Yoruba people don't insert their tribes into their posts, this is what Igbos do

Movic1:


And you think SE votes will make atiku a winner? With this, theres nothing like split votes in SW. Buhari is winning SW with 80%.

axponline:
To all those who think a running mate from the SW will make a significant difference please consider the following

1. SW usually votes for whoever they think will present a progressive agenda for Nigeria not because of tribe etc. In 2015, PMB was voted for in the SW because we thought he would restore some sanity to the system and not because of Prof Osinbajo per se.
2. SW votes have always been split 60/40 between opposition and PDP regardless of who the candidate is. Even in 2015 when PMB won, the vote was still split 60/40 between apc and pdp. Its not going to be any different this time around.
3. Even when Obasanjo a SW candidate was running, the vote was still split 60/40 at the presidential election.

In 2019, the SW vote will still be split 60/40 is what I think regardless of who the VP candidate is.

Misterdhee1:

But you forgot both shagari and obj won massively in the north. Atiku is paper weight compared to PMB in that zone. Not even now that Buhari is the incumbent

K0y3:
That was because he was contesting against Jonathan that had SS and SE locked down, SW felt cheated cause they were no where near top 4 in Jonathan's govt. But in this case, both atiku and buhari are from the north. PDP traditionally gets sympathy from SS and SE but same can not be said of SW. If atiku had picked a VP from SW it would have countered the osibanjo/tinubu sentiment by reducing APC votes from say 65/70% to 50/55 while still having about 80/85% in SS and SE for PDP. But with was just played out it is a direct contest of survival between SW and SE meaning APC vote might just shoot up to say 80/85% instead of 65/70%. Again don't 4get SW has the highest number of registered voter next to NW. Buhari is NW, osibanjo is SW. If these permutations are to be correct then you should know PDP is trouble. PDP might eventually win more states but APC will have more counted votes and still meet the constitutional requirements.

nokatakata:


Oga anybody to push that old man out of abuja and back to daura will be supported.

Karatum:


Comot here. U have forgotten so soon how many times PMB contested for President, yet didn't win

Whether u like it or yes, Atiku is coasting to victory next year. U can kill urself afterwards.

arsenal33:
Was Okonjo-Iweala the finance minister when Nigeria was massively looted?

Osagyefo98:
Pdp now has my vote

Lagzy12:


I VOTE ATIKU WHOEVER THE VICE IS (AS LONG AS BUHARI IS NOT CHOSEN AS THE VICE)

muffyt05:
From the way I see it, Atiku's hope of winning is dead on arrival. His candidature is only being projected in the South East and the South South. I'm almost certain he can never get 25% of total vote casts in 2 out of the 6 Western States and his less than 30% electoral value in the North is another indicator that he's not getting anywhere with all these hypes. It would have been a tough election if Kwakwanso had been the contender as the guy commands a cult followership in the North,most especially, the state with highest number of registered voters.
For those thinking Atiku can get meaningful votes in the Southwest, they've gotta have a rethink as the region has some how benefitted from this government than the previous one and as such, wouldn't want to jeopardize the chances they already got,as they're fully aware a bird in hand is better than 10 in the air.
If you question my logic,you need to understand that the Nigerian politics is about what you can get for yourself and your people,it's the way it's been since Independence.

CheapDataGuy:


Then who do u have in mind?? We should go back to Buhari abi??

The other people should work hard in making their selves known to Nigerians

You are uninformed about Peter Obi's achievements in Anambra state as a Governor. The giant strides and recorded excellence in primary and secondary education performance in Anambra state in the last ten years are Peter Obi's handi work. The only Governor to have left tens of billions of naira in the state accounts, rather than debts at the end of tenure, as a Governor.
Check his achievements in the health sector, through direct funds implementation.

ZAWs:
BUBU and crew may probably no longer need to lose any sleep.
OBJ has succeeded in crumbling Atiku final political mission.(if you know you know)
This is a case of buying what you already have.
Atiku already has the votes from SS/SE, why picking a running mate from there even?
The West won't vote against PYO!

plainol:
That's great.

Even PMB loves Peter Obi. Just as he loves Fashola.

I love Peter Obi.

Has anyone listen to that guy talk before? He is a Fashola twin. Too brilliant.
