Because they have no chance of winning. And this is not because of the candidates per se, but because of the current stage of our democracy. Our democracy is only 24 years old. As such, we can't have a Trump or Macron rise from obscurity, because we haven't tackled the basics.
We have not reformed campaign finance. In terms of policy, the economy, and most of our critical issues; the vast majority of our voting population is grossly uninformed or unable to engage. 80% of those who'd read both the Next Level and Atiku's Policy Plan will not understand up to 5% of it. Then there are the subtle but very real ethnic and religious bias that cloud the election process.
As a result, campaigning for any of these candidates is an exercise in futility as anyone doing so would be setting the cart before the horse.
Lastly, virtually all of those candidates are just as complicit as to the state we've found ourselves as any of the geriatric front runners for 2019.
* Donald Duke was a governor who performed averagely. His star project Tinapa is one of the most iconic white elephant projects of the last two decades. He is on record for sabotaging an elected government on the direction of the same powers that be.
* Madam Oby served under OBJ, like Atiku. She also sold us the scam in 2015. If Buhari had rewarded her like her BBOG co-founder Hadi, it is highly unlikely she'd be contesting for the Presidency. She's no different from Keyamo and the other anywhere-belle-face activists.
* Sowore also sold us the scam in 2015. And as late as 2017 was still selling the scam even when the illiterates in the village knew otherwise. He like Buhari has a narcissistic complex thinking he holds all the solutions. There's no one he hasn't derided forgetting as President, he'd would need to handle these forces with care and engage if he's to make any progress.
* Moghalu was a CBN deputy governor. Enough said.
* Durotoye also sold us the scam in 2015 and his campaign rips directly from the books of how our established politicians ply their trade. Bottom line, his candidacy does not hold as much promise as his high-sounding words may appear.
These our young aspirants are the Babangida, Abacha, and other young military officers during Nigeria's infancy. Pillars that have been part of the problem whitewashing themselves as saviors. My advice for them is to go local and change things. If the Presidency is the only way you can effect change, you need to take a chill pill.
Buhari was a military governor. Atiku won a governorship election. GEJ, Yar'Adua, and OBJ same thing. It is the height of arrogance to expect that because you run a newspaper, ran an activist campaign, or are young, then the nation's seat of power should be gifted to you.
-Lord If Macron was a Nigerian on that list you would also have hung a charge around his neck disqualifying him just like u've done to those. If what you are looking for is one who has been in the public sphere with nothing against him or her then you surely seek to grab the wind. 4 Likes |

Stop us. Our assets belongs to us child or you didn't know. You didn't know Atiku was the chairman that sold most of our assets? You see you're a kid? jumich1:
Sold you you mean? 
Come on stop the kid show. Was Atiku president of Nigeria? Okay, it's safe to blame Osibanjo for the present government's woes abi?

-Lord Oga you are very wrong. The reason is because 90% of Nigerians are not yet educated. I don't mean book educated. The mindset of Nigerians is not yet modern. If Nigerians were really educated Buhari, Atiku and Tinubu stand no chance. |

Simply because all the younger ones are either sell-outs and vote-splitters.
Donald Duke who is the only viable, credible young candidate is just getting the experience for the actual contest in 2023.
All of us here stand with Atiku/Obi.
Not because Atiku is a saint but because Buhari is a disaster. |

Does the North vote Jonathan? I don’t like when people don’t talk with their brain You don't seem to understand Nigeria. The North is only interested in one thing, power. So how will Durotoye, Ezekwesili, Moghalu, Sowore and Donald Duke convince the North to abandone Buhari or Atiku, and vote for a Southerner such as them? Not possible. That's why they have no realistic chance of winning |

I personally follow Sowore ,but we can't afford to decide the vote. I don't think that is the problem. I think the problem is the fact that if PDP emerges, there will be this same agitation for " vote any other but PDP"by 2020. We keep voting unqualified people and seeking ways to vote them out again.
