seborrhic:

Rather he had no choice.
Don't forget,he is now effectively a lameduck president.
He would have been told that openly going against Tinubu may see to Tinubu decamping and knowing the considerable support Tinubu has,his followers would likely follow suit.That that could destabilise the entire APC asides costing the party in 2023.
So the convincing point the advisers would have given Buhari is that rather than endorse someone Tinubu would eventually vie against or pitch his massive tent with Atiku,against such narrowly supported APC candidate,Buhari should insist on the primaries going ahead and whoever wins would be adjudged to have come from a democratic,popular party support.
So Buhari's hand was forced to be neutral,rather than it being his preferred way to have chosen a successor.

seborrhic:

Rivers people are representing well.
Wike was narrowly defeated by Atiku,coming second and here in APC Amaechi too,despite vying together with a sitting VP and a sitting senate President,has come an impressive second with a very respectable delegates count.
Amaechi is indeed a formidable politician and maybe made SSG or another ministerial post,if Tinubu wins the presidency.

CutieKing:


Oga go and do the breakdown of those results.
I have a question for you though.why do you believe atiku will win ss and se in the southern region but tinubu will lose in the northern region?.
Let's start the conversation there.

CornOak:

Yahaya Bello — 47 votes
Jack Rich — 0 votes
Christopher Onu — 1 vote

kokoA:
I did not disagree with your submission, I'm only trying to point out to you that Atiku will not have an easy ride in the north. Atiku is not Buhari. This is the first time Buhari will not be on the ballot paper since 2003 so you cannot say endorsements won't fly. The north didn't vote for Buhari because he is one of them, they voted for him because he is BUHARI. I hope you get where I'm coming from.

JohnBullMySon:
Yeah, Atiku is not Buhari. That's true. But Buhari is not Yar'adua too. Did you know that this same Buhari lost to Yar'adua wotowotoriously in the North 2007. What happened in the next election? Dude swept back the north like a hurricane.

Bruh see, it will take more than a miracle to stop the north from voting Atiku.

IgOga:
Tinubu should pray for good health o...Amaechi get as he dey win election without winning...na so he become governor that year for Rivers...And he's second....if anything happen now he wins

ojehmario1969:
Lol
The guy don dey count bat vote anyhow

Excelboi:
Ahmad Lawan 152 votes

JohnBullMySon:
These are the north central states and this is how they voted in 2019

>>>>>>>>>>APC>>>>>>>>>>> PDP
Benue 347,668* 47.70* 356,817* 48.95*
FCT 152,224* 35.91* 259,997* 61.33*
Kogi 285,894* 54.87* 218,207* 41.88*
Kwara 308,984* 67.22* 138,184* 30.06*
Nasarawa 289,903* 49.92* 283,847* 48.87*
Niger 612,371* 71.88* 218,052* 25.59*
Pleteau 468,555* 45.28* 548,665* 53.02*

Did you see how tight they all are? Atiku won two states drew two and lost two by a fair margin against a sitting popular Buhari. What makes you think Tinubu will swing it? He will take Kwara definitely but that's where it ends.

IgOga:
Tinubu should pray for good health o...Amaechi get as he dey win election without winning...na so he become governor that year for Rivers...And he's second....if anything happen now he wins

garfield1:


Oga north central always split votes like south west. Before 2015,pdp always won there.obj in 2003 won buhari there,gej in 2011 won there.whoever loses there is sure of 25% in a the States...but mind you,the north central are pro south and tired of core northerners

Samueltemi337:
So since Tinubu is dying before this year ends our winner is Amaechi

Twoclans:
Yemi Osinbajo

Starts on a solemn note by giving a solemn talk about the victims of Owo.

He says he is a true Nigerian .he was born in Nigeria.

He says it's possible to have world class education

He said its possible to have processing industries.

He said we can explore oil and gas.we can open steel plants .

We can build our own cars

We can sell shoes to the world.
We can manufacture our weapons and ammunitions

A company in Nigeria is making armoured vehicles.

We can manufacture drones.

We can send Astronauts to the moon.

An open honest government can be run

A hundred million people can be lifted out of poverty

He said fortunately we are not starting from zero.he said the administration of president Mohammed buhari has started.He said everything is within our reach.

All that is left is on making the right decision tonight .

He said 2322 people will determine the future of Nigeria.he compels the delegates to vote right tonight .

He says you cannot wish this country well and vote for someone you do not believe in.

He says when you vote tonight ,that vote carries the answer to the prayer we seek as a country.

He said he had reasoned together with delegates on the hope of Nigeria .He said he has seen first hand the circumstances of the future.

He said he will be ready from day one.

He said it is for this reasons that he presents himself for your consideration as an aspirant.

Nice speech .

But hmmmmmmmmmmm.

Sannisege:
The way they voted for Ahmed Lawan in this primaries. Keep deceiving yourself.

JohnBullMySon:
You're the one deceiving yourself with an in party primary where delegates are bought over.

As for me I really don't care much whoever becomes the president of Nigeria.

JohnBullMySon:
Yeah, Atiku is not Buhari. That's true. But Buhari is not Yar'adua too. Did you know that this same Buhari lost to Yar'adua wotowotoriously in the North 2007. What happened in the next election? Dude swept back the north like a hurricane.

Bruh see, it will take more than a miracle to stop the north from voting Atiku.

JohnBullMySon:
I repeat this, APC is killing their chances by giving Tinubu the ticket.

Party structure is not national politics. They're giving Obi an advantage of being the only Christian in a three horse race after having a Muslim lead the country for eight years. Nigeria is heavily divided along religious lines currently and this definitely will result much more people voting along religious lines. After the performance of Buhari, a Christian VP most likely will not fly for Christians.

Even if Obi doesn't win, he'll come close. The coming election will be a real fight between three people.

Sannisege:
E pain am!

Chai! I almost believed he was telling the truth until he said we can send astronauts to the moon It was at dat point I realized I was listening to yet another vain prattle of a political professional
