SimplePlan34: These ppl can vote Atiku oo. May the game is to allow Atiku succeed Buhari. I don't know. For me once Tinubu emerges APC flag bearer I am no longer interested. If Peter Obi remained in PDP it would have been almost certain PDP will win.
Av been saying it. Them go comot one weak candidate so that atiku will beat him blue black and win
The North is planning and plotting, just to ensure that it is a Northerner who rules for another Eight years.
Meanwhile, Southerners are fighting and abusing each other. One is even abusing everybody in-sight, just because he thinks becoming President of Nigeria is his birthright.
Me, l just dey laugh, because l dont have tears to shed anymore
DOTian: His deluge of wayward teeth won't allow us hear him out.. Tragic dental formular right there. Am I the only one who is always thinking that there's a genetical mutation going on with these folks in the far North? Not insulting anyone now..
I mean, don't forget that France tested the nuclear bomb in the open air in the Sahara, very close to the core North some decades back! Is the after effects oof the nuclear exposure not partly responsible for all these queer deseases and strange dental make up of the average core northerner?
You want North to vote SW, yet you insult North. Continue sha.

As long as these 3 generals are alive, Obasanjo, Buhari & Babaginda, customs officer Abubakar Atiku can never be President of The Federal Republic of Nigeria.
nnamdi640: My brother reason it. Won't you like to vote for your fellow north assuming you are a northerner, except you want to act as Afonja. Those governor are just speaking for themselves.
yeah, just like mpurumiri governors and addicts support Atiku instead of Peter Obi in the SE. GEJ defeated Atiku in the North in 2011, why can't a rugged Asiwaju do same in 2023.
The 11 northern Progressive governors' decision to zone the All Progressive Congress' presidential ticket to the South ahead of the party's primary scheduled for the 6th and 8th of this month has been roundly rejected by the northern youths.
Following a statement of resolution released by the governors on Saturday, after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari, northern youths said in a press conference that the governors should be completely ignored because their resolution is completely unacceptable.
The youths said in a video address to the press obtained by The Trumpet that the 11 governors' decision to shift power to the south after only two terms of President Buhari spent by the region is an act of selfishness and selfish interest. It went on to say that the south has been in power for 12 years, including the administrations of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, and that a northern candidate should be allowed to fly the APC flag in 2023.
The Northern Youth Alliance, or AREWA, has also stated emphatically that the 11 governors' statement will be a costly mistake for the APC, adding that it is not in the best interests of the country, but of the 11 self-centered individuals who wrote to the president.
The statement by Northern States APC Governors and Political Leaders read, "APC governors and political leaders from the northern states of Nigeria today met to review the political situation and to further support our Party in providing progressive leadership amidst our national challenges. During our discussions, we welcomed President Muhammadu Buhari's invitation to governors and other stakeholders to contribute to the emergence of a strong presidential candidate for the APC.
"After careful deliberation, we wish to state our firm conviction that after eight years in office of President Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the APC for the 2023 elections should be one of our teeming members from the southern states of Nigeria. It is a question of honour for the APC, an obligation that is not in anyway affected by the decisions taken by another political party. We affirm that upholding this principle is in the interest of building a stronger, more united and more progressive country.
"We therefore wish to strongly recommend to President Muhammadu Buhari that the search for a successor as the APC's presidential candidate be limited to our compatriots from the southern states. We appeal to all aspirants from the northern states to withdraw in the national interest and allow only the aspirants from the south to proceed to the primaries. We are delighted by the decision of our esteemed colleague. His Excellency, Governor Abubakar Badaru to contribute to this patriotic quest by withdrawing his presidential aspiration.
"The APC has a duty to ensure that the 2023 elections offer a nation-building moment, reaffirming that a democratic pathway to power exists for all who value cooperation and build national platforms. This moment calls for the most sober and inclusive approach to selecting our party's candidate, and we call on all APC leaders to fulfil their responsibility in this regard."
The resolution signed by governor Aminu Bello Masari, Katsina State; Abubakar Sani Bello, Niger State; Abdullahi A. Sule, Nasarawa State, Prof. B.G. Umara Zulum, Borno State; Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, Kaduna State; Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya, Gombe State; Bello M. Matawalle, Zamfara State; Simon Bako Lalong Plateau State; Senator Aliyu Wamakko, former governor Sokoto State; Dr. A.U. Ganduje, Kano State; and Senator Abubakar Atiku Bagudu Governor of Kebbi State was completely condemned by the northern youths.
The youth also declared their disdain for the governors, warning the ruling party not to take the risk of succumbing to the "self-centered" governors' appeal.
Meanwhile, Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President (Media and Publicity) has said that the outcome of the meeting between the president and aspirants on Saturday night was for the presidential aspirants to go and consult, build consensus, and come up with a formidable candidate.
Adesina said that was the president's address to the aspirants, clearing the air on rumors circulating that the president has backed a southern candidate.
Great! Let the northern reject it and join us in struggle for restructuring or outright breakup.
Oluboh: *On The Request by 11 Northern Governors to Zone Presidency to South; Delegate Permutations That Will Favor Yahaya Bello*
1. Tinubu will not step down for Osinbajo, neither will Osinbajo.....
2. The south west and north west votes will be shared between both of them
3. The south east and south south will not support the southern zoning demanded by the 11 northern governors because it is obviously to the interest of Tinubu and Osinbajo
4. With a south west ticket, no VP for South East nor south south. It is then easier to get bloc support of south East and south south.
5. The north Central and north east can work together with the south East and south south for a Yahaya Bello flagbeareship.
6. Only the above can guarantee the south East or south south a VP slot.
The 11 Northern Governors have made a terrible mistake.
when u all plan we will plan if they dont give power back to the south
God bless you this morning. Most often when people from the aforementioned states support any part of the South, another part of the South will call one name. Most northerners are peaceful but the violent ones are few. Not all northerners speak Hausa neither do all share in grabbing power at all cost.
Thank you, boss...The issue is that most Nigerians aren't correctly educated about Nigeria... I always tell people every northerner is not a Fulani..
Misterone: yeah, just like mpurumiri governors and addicts support Atiku instead of Peter Obi in the SE. GEJ defeated Atiku in the North in 2011, why can't a rugged Asiwaju do same in 2023.
derecho: See what Tinubu created. After 8years of Buhari, the "northern youths" are still clamouring for the presidential slot. Is Buhari from the South?

We are plotting nothing.
North is God's own land.
Whoever becomes President is God's choice,don't fight the God's choice,you will end up in sadness.
Let's congratulate the incoming President of Nigeria,whoever he is.
The President PMB advising aspirants to go and consult, build consensus, come up with a formidable candidate and the 11 Northern Gov asking the President to pick from South has show the North are very considerable trying to unify the Nation and their Party APC irrespective of there agendas knowing fully well not getting it right might heat up the polity kudo's to the Southwest aspirants for effecting a meeting to slim down the list for there preferred consensus meanwhile Southeast should do same that's a good way to start. This Gov are not selfish but considerable all we want is someone who can give us a better Nigeria
