Even small tofa did better up north than atiku.atiku is overrated.only pdp gives him levels

fergie001:
Whilst some of your reasons are valid, this was Atiku's best performance in the North.

First, he won all NE States except Borno (where APC votes were even abysmal "in your words".

He won 3 NW States (Kaduna, Katsina & Kebbi).

He won Yobe, Kebbi, Kaduna & Katsina. You called all of these States for APC in your predictions before the election.

Atiku's loss can rest in the NC (where the PDP failed to win one State). Asides the SE, that was the only Zone they didn't win any State.

JASONjnr:



We can never get our forecast correct anytime soon because elections in Nigeria is always all about the biggest rigger .....


Tinubu had himself rigged in....

If the election wasn't rigged.,. Your predictions were fallaciously flawed and unsound....

Nwodosis:

garfield1:


The loss of yobe was surprising and then kaduna also.I wonder if the govs sabotaged tinubu

fergie001:

Kaduna was the most surprising.

3 Senate seats, 10/16 HoR seats. I was even surprised he didn't win Jigawa.

Winnersunited:
Atiku is politically over hyped. Him and Ayu chm PDP lacks Political sagacity and intelligence, that's why they failed woefully.

garfield1:
Yes,Kaduna shows el rufai compromised.his deputy delivered sanga her lga in southern kad, el rufai and uba sani had no reason to lose their zones.even his son won.I even Gave obi more chances thsn atiku

garfield1:


Very true.ayu couldn't win his lga

DenreleDave:


Yes... As your failure of a candidate Obituary lost

Biafrans were wailing when Nigerians were voting

garfield1:
For me,it is because of the reasons I enumerated before the polls and many more.

Firstly,the north or core north only rallies behind radical,fanatic muslims or Muslims that appear simple,incorrupt,sharia driven,conservative like ahmadu bello,shehu yaradua,buhari etc.atiku lacks these features...

Secondly,the Muslim Muslim ticket is attractive to many core Muslims.they prefer it to a liberal Muslim pairing a southern Christian like atiku.

Thirdly,atiku is not grasstooted or close to the masses.he is too elitist and has no populist movement like buhari or kwankwaso
Fourthly,atiku does not have core loyalists working for him tirelessly.people in the north like tambuwal,saraki,lamido,muazu babangida etc that worked for him are not his loyalists and did so based on being in pdp or monetary reasons.atiku does not believe in loyalty,he thinks money can buy everything.

Finally,the defections were not overwhelming.the apc countered defections in sokoto,kebbi,gombe,jigawa.no governor defected most importantly.additionally,the north felt it was the turn of the south and tinubu having helped return back power to the south should be repaid in the words of gov masari.the na mu na mu by rolams failed,naka sai naka by change the change failed and shinkafa de wake by immaculatejoe failed to materialize.

Which of them won?

Suswam even lost. The division in the PDP didn't help them, it swept them all out! Only Moro stayed put....

highchief1:

garfield1:


Moro self suppose lose

fergie001:
Something happened in Kaduna.

PDP made it look easy there.

fergie001:
Yea... The NC did the damage for PDP.

fergie001:
How he sneaked in and Suswam lost sef was ironic. He must have done his homework!

gidgiddy:
To be fair to Atku, he said he was rigged out

The courts will later decide if it is true

highchief1:
if u guys follow my comments here I told u atiku is over hyped.he lives in dubai he can’t expect to inherit the kind of votes Buhari that lives in kaduna gets.Atiku is not loved in the north.
