garfield1: Amongst all you listed, the above is the only reason. Atiku is a watered down muslim. A westernized muslim who appeals more as a nigerian than an arewa. He hardly castigates the south in favor of the north. He wears suit and blend with southerners. He is not a hardliner, such a person will never get bloc votes from the north. Again, the muslim muslim ticket was not the reason Tinubu got some measurable votes from the north, rather it has alot to do with the personality of his VP. Shettima is the ideal personality core northerners always like to vote for. An extremist who will never support a national agenda, but rather fight only for any agenda that will benefit arewa and the muslim umma. That's how the north votes 10 Likes |

garfield1:Before the Election, I dey always stand my ground say Atiku can never be compared with the likes of Buhari in the core North. Even though the 2007 Election was not free and fair, we all saw how Atiku performed woefully against Yardua and Buhari. I was confident Atiku won't defeat Asiwaju in the North West and North East and I also knew is going to be a very tight battle between the two of them. I was confident Asiwaju will win so far Obi does not step down. There was no point in time I got shaken Asiwaju will lose. You also believe 100% Asiwaju will win the election. You do say if you start seeing signs he will lose, then you will let us know. Obi made Asiwaju victory possible Buhari woeful performance wey him com top up with cashless policy would have made Tinubu stand no chance against a United PDP. 8 Likes |

Atiku is an elitist and these kind of people don't connect very well with the masses. I believe the major reason the man failed wasn't even because of Obi/Kwankwaso, but rather because of the disconnection he has with the average northerner. What did buhari used in hoodwinking the northern masses when he started contesting for the presidential election since 2003? It was his pro-masses ideology. Buhari presented himself as the champion of the talakawas. And well, this can't be said about Atiku. And funny enough, Atiku has uplifted more northerners( both poor and middle class ) than buhari will ever do. 10 Likes |

fergie001:Exactly. Atiku's problem wasn't the north but his failure to win in zones that were hitherto PDP's hotcakes like the North Central, South East and South South, which voted massively for Obi. Just add up Atiku's vote with Peter Obi, and you'd see that Atiku would have won by landslide if Obi didn't take away those key zones mentioned. Like you rightly mentioned, this was Atiku's best outing in the north so far, at least he didn't have someone in the mould of Buhari to contend with over there. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Atiku actually tried and he got block votes from the core North winning eight out of thirteen States of NW+ NE. The division of the opposition into PDP,LP,NNPP and G-5 made it very difficult to win. The Labour party maximally exploit the Muslim-muslim ticket controversy to steal the Christian voters who traditionally always prefer the PDP to APC...Peter Obi just poured sand-sand for Atiku's garri. 6 Likes |

justified007: They may be rigging for Atiku but Buhari's style of Administration especially the ill-motivated Naira redesign and scarcity and the artificial fuel scarcity on the eve of the election had made it very difficult to market the APC to the electorates, the only saving grace for the APC was the fractionalization of the opposition 9 Likes |

Zincfingers:Bross, never say such things anymore, Nigeria is fast changing. If the labour party can redefine party politics in Nigeria by; 1) Embark on aggressive membership drive to include majority of the Youths accross regional, religious and ethnic lines. 2) Encourage all workers to join the party and see it as their own,including all Okada riders, NURTW, NUJ, ASUU,NBA and the masses. The masses are more than the elites. 3) Ensure that members pay monthly dues to run the party and no single individual is financing the party, thus nobody is too strong within the party. 4) Make their nomination fees a multiple of the minimum wage e.g 5 times the Minimum Wage. 5) Regularly meet every month to brainstorm on the problems facing the country and proffer solutions to it. 5 Likes |

garfield1:It's OUK doing his magic. He hasn't hidden his desire for Abia North! They will consolidate around APP (his brother). There is also possibility that the LP guy in that Constituency will work for APP. It's some kind of game you know, even Otti backed Abaribe against Onyeizu. It's all horse-trading rn. 5 Likes |

OGHENAOGIE:It is NOT going to happen overnight but gradually...it is possible. If ordinary people are given Labour Party tickets to contest and people rally round them to win, it will inspire other people to troop to the LP |

oyatz:The LP's success was because of Tinubu's MM ticket. It unified the majority Christians behind Obi. The whole LP was orchestrated in Tinubu's bedroom in Bourdilon. Tinubu would consolidate his grip on Nigeria as soon as he's sworn in. First thing he'd do is to dismantle LP he created . Go figure! ![]() ![]() 11 Likes |
