I have read a lot of people saying "no to Muslim-Muslim ticket" even before Asiwaju emerged. Now that he has emerged as the standard bearer of APC with Atiku as the major challenge to him, I wonder why a Muslim-Muslim ticket of Tinubu presidency is not better than a return of the presidency to north possibly for another eight years after 8 years of PMB.

Like or loathe APC, it has demonstrated being a truly progressive party by standing with a return of the presidency to the South even after Atiku had emerged as PDP's candidate. PDP damned everything common sense by making Atiku emerge with possibility of keeping the presidency in the north and a lot of people seem not to care because PDP is doing what they need to do to win the election without considering fairness and equity.

I am strongly convinced that when the time comes, majority of voters will side with an APC' Muslim-Muslim ticket which returns presidency to the south and reject a Muslim-Christian ticket which keeps the presidency to the north for another eight years to make it 16 straight years of Northern dominance.

The only party getting it right for now is Labour Party.

That's a lie as those are not the only options we have. You can vote Labour Party and save yourself both evils.

Ok

Yes, you can vote LP or any other party. However, APC and PDP remain the two front runners and they naturally enjoy more focus and attention now.

Try answer the poser I put up.

Can Lalasticlala or any mod push this to the front page please. It'd be great to see which option is indeed a fairer of the two.

Majority of youths want Peter Obi, please let's rescue Nigeria. The office of the citizen should wake up to this call

I agree completely with the OP. This choice is now before us especially southerners. We either ensure power returns to the south through Tinubu or it remains in the north with Atiku.

South East or the North continues.

It's more noble for power to remains in North than to go to SW again.

As if there is no christian northerners

the only people supporting muslim-muslim leadership are the useless muslims who have evil intents in mind
MODIFIED: i'm not insultin the good muslims pls. i'm only insultin the bad and wicked ones

I saw a link yesterday saying register to campaign for tinubu for 20k

which youth dey support coward

They will actually be a balance between the executive, legislature and Judiciary if Peter OBi of labour party wins the presidency because for me, we can't force ourselves to choose between two Evils when we still have options.
1. Muslim-muslim Ticket is a no-no in a religiously divided country like Nigeria, and the rumors of islamization agenda, it's a big risk to try.
2. PDP has shown that they can't be trusted, after all the years of mis-rule, they want to come back without fairness and Equity to their own internal arrangements, if they can't honor their own terms then what's the hope that they care about the opinion of the Masses, Hence voting PDP is another Bigger risk
3. Considering the history and age of the three contestants from LP,PDP and APC it's good we the Nigeria youth make a loud statement to this our politicians that they can't serve us stone and expect us to eat it with Joy when we can get rice elsewhere.i will vote for Peter Obi.
My personal humble opinion though.

Where in the North? NW,NE, or NC? be specific pls because you cannot be talking about the entire North.

fiizznation:
Tinubu might be popular in the South, but down here, the man is seen with the same lens atiku is seen with; corrupt,desperate and old. The northerners have two bad eggs to choose from and I can tell you, most will choose atiku because of some factors which your tinubu doesn't possess. Besides tinubu is sick!

Well I know some northern politicians will want to sell tinubu to the northerners but I don't see average northerners buying it. I doubt a tinubu can defeat atiku in a free and fair election.

Now I know that naija is created to be useless forever.
I keep wondering why nobody is questioning how Tinubu and Atiku won their respective party tickets when u hv young men in their parties?
Does it mean that there are no young and vibrant young men in their parties?
Well, I wish them well,nmine is to gather fund and leave this kantry for una

Zonefree:

How is it more noble?

Peter Obi is the only right choice.

It is better to "waste" your vote on Peter Obi than vote any of these 2 criminals who had active arrest warrants by US government.

While I agree with the first poser, concerning a Muslim -Muslim ticket, it will be a big blow to Northern Christians in APC who have largely felt marginalized in Northern politics.

Honestly, I don't envy Tinubu and APC leaders at the moment, as this is a big decision to make and it will certainly influence voting patterns in the elections.

My personal take though is that APC should go with a Northern Christian. Although the race will be tight, it will be clear to all that a balance os being sought-after. I also think that if the APC Governors sincerely and diligently work for Tinubu and combine Buhari's influence (although it has waned a bit), they should be able to take at least 45% of Northern Votes.

That 45% plus absolute majority in SW, and perhaps 40% of SS votes should be enough to coast home.

SEXONLY:

When I say North I mean Muslim North because they constitute 85% of northerners. Unless we want to deceive ourselves but religion plays an important role in our election.

An average Nigeria like to dance in illusion. When we all know that online noise doesn't win election in Nigeria, but illiterates are the one that matter most. The education team can not reach them but ballot boxes does.


Electoral value of an emeritus prof is same as a stark illiterate and prof will not risk his life for someone that will not pay his salary but illiterate will do 100 naira bread so who will determine the winner

Are there no Christians in the North?

Are there no Christians in APC?

How religiously biased and hypocritical can some of you be?


Looking at Buhari's appointment during his disastrous 7 years where Muslims formed the majority of his cabinet, you still want to repeat it?


Some of you really do not want this country to succeed.

seunmsg:


How is it more noble?

Every senseless thing remain Noble to mkpurumiri addict because of hatred for Omoluabi

Are there no northern Christian that Tinubu can choose from? Will you allow a Christian-Christian ticket?

Una think say na only una wise!

Let's vote for these two options:

Like this post if you think a Muslim-Muslim ticket of APC is a fairer bargain.

Share if you think a Muslim-Christian ticket of PDP which keeps the presidency in the north is a fairer deal.

Atiku is the man to beat

Is Tinubu looking up to Atiku

Don’t twist it yoruba man

Yoruba man can only smell presidency in their dream

Muslim Muslim ain’t even practicable in Nigeria

Yoruba people wan be more Muslim than the iman of Mecca

Dan iska Bayerebe with their Yorubatic brain.

It will be a curse for Nigerians to bring back APC or PDP. With Peter Obi I stand.

I don't know any northern Christian who can sincerely get him enough votes in the north, especially the core north. Politics is about playing your best card to win.

Sorry to be so blunt.

1. Northern Christians are despised in their region and have very little influence. In fact, Dogara has control of just 3 LGAs in Bauchi State - as strong as he's touted. Tinubu will definitely lose if he tries it. If you notice, El Rufai said he would do Muslim / Muslim ticket in Kaduna, and he won. Didnt you also notice that Tinubu didn't waste time during campaign with delegates in certain regions?

2. Now, one secret that Southern people don't know, Atiku is really hated in the North. He has a reputation of a snake. He's widely abused as a homo and not a true Muslim. He's said to have been cursed to never be President by a popular Islamic Cleric. To be honest, I still don't understand the hate.

3. Tinubu will pick someone very strong from the North and he will be a Muslim. Northerners even see it as a revenge because OBJ foisted an unhealthy Yaradua that didn't really rule actively. They feel BAT might die in power or the VP does most of the heavy lifting.

By the time Tinubu calls meetings of traditional religious leaders and the big Pastors of Yorubaland e.g. Adeboye, Kumuyi and Oyedepo.... you will be shocked how the potential 60% SW votes turns to 80 or even 90! Oh I even forgot his wife is a Pastor in RCCG and not in the Senate (free to campaign). Remi will go to mega churches - Yorubas undisputably have the biggest.... and preach every Sunday.

Bloc votes from SW and a North 50/50 or even 40% from North will win it for BAT.

Politicians do their calculations well... no matter Atiku's vice, he's very unlikely to win. That's just the reality.

Tinubu is a strong politician but I doubt anyone was sure he would soundly thrash President + Vice President + Senate President + Party Chairman. Did we really expect such a wide margin?

Politicians are like sharks, they easily smell blood in the water I.e. they quickly jump to the side of a potential winner. The APC primaries was an eye-opener for many. SS will smartly fall in line, BAT might not win there but he will do better than projected. SE will be stubborn as usual and unfortunately shout marginalization later. Unfair it might seem but true.

The main election campaigns might be physically tasking for him, but he will very likely trounce Atiku. The other candidates don't matter at all; not worth mentioning.

Tinubu can only lose if he chooses Ganduje (bad reputation) or a Northern Christian. Or Yoruba/Yoruba ticket ....
