The pictures will get clearer in a short while. But I don't see shekarau moving again so soon. He'll lose what is left of his integrity.

Integrity indeed.

This is the worst time to aligned with PDP because of their internal political crisis, The north have rules for 8 years, the best time for Atiku was 2019 election. Shakau should stay in nnpp while they formed the party like regional party for now. By 2027 they would have governor, senator etc. They can now marge with another party in the west to form a formidable party that can win. Like what tinubu and buhari did in 2015. The 2023 election, Atiku will not get the type of vote he got 2019.

Its a risk worth taking, atiku has never had a better shot at the presidency like this. A north disenchanted with APC and buhari and atiku happens to be the only major candidate that can win an election.

1. You mean the wike induced crisis? That would be resolved latest before this year ends. Wike dosent have many options, align with APC? Amaechi and co are waiting for him there - he might get his governorship(it might even lead to implosion of APC at that state level) but he won't make much impact on presidential.
Realistically, Lp dosent stand a chance, so he is stuck with PDP, he will just try to get a few concessions, nothing more.

2. Right now, the momentum is with PDP, heavyweights disenchanted with APC are moving to PDP, the only crisis in the party - or what seems like a crisis is the wike issue. PDP put its best foot forward in atiku because they are after winning election not keeping an idealist zoning formula that would see them continue being in opposition, and the heavyweights within the party (north and south understand that).

When all was good with Atiku,wike, kwankwaso, peter Obi, and this south east governor I forget his name are in PDP, their forces didn't defeat them. The reason why peter Obi is trending is because the president most come from the south. That's the reason wike is still bitter with PDP today. Atiku shouldn't have come to the race to contest.

Like I said, PDP put its best foot forward, they are winning election (which Atiku represent), not keeping to an idealist zoning formula that may see them continue in opposition - self preservation. Who could they have presented from the south that can stand against APCs candidate (Tinubu, Osinbajo or Amaechi with majority of the north behind any of them), tell me? Wike? Ikpeazu? Makinde? Peter Obi?

APC groomed southerners to take over, PDP has no one in the south. A southern candidate for PDP meant defeat before 4pm on election day and 4(or years of opposition, the party can't bear that.

fear the northerns oo
by run from them

I understand your view but if APC also follow the same view by giving the ticket to northerners because they don't want to lose power also, it would have been the same happened in PDP will worst in APC. Why didn't they play fairness first before the permutations. They can zone it's to south, no matter how low profile the candidate. Because of the mistake is the reason peter Obi and Atiku plus kwankwaso will split PDP vote into three. Their vote that can't make a winner when working together. Instead to know how to lure some APC stakeholders they are losing more stakeholders.
