The entire country will lose out to Buhari


The Yorubas had the Presidency for 8 years, the only thing they are is greedy


The most patient people in Nigeria have been the Igbos who have received nothing but insult and ridicule for the last 19 years after supporting PDP, even when the same Yorubas abandoned them in 2015. And now that they ought to get some compensation for such uncommon loyalty, the same greedy Yorubas, whom these Igbos supported for Presidency for 8 years, want to come and snatch it from under them. Did Igbo peopoe not Vite massively for OBJ in 2004, even when Yoruba peoppe stood against him?


Humility, is that not the height of wickedness, selfishness and injustice? That you will shamelessly take from a man, what he has suffered and sweat for, to what end?

Is it not greed? Does it not say a lot of you as a people? Is this how loyalty should be paid? That Igbo should vote for Atiku and a SW VP and abandon Buhari? Then they stand the risk of being shut out another 8 years

In 2027, who will they have to step down for? Another Yoruba man?


If Igbo people do not get VP with Atiku, they will help in Buhari's win, after which they can at least hope he will hand over to an Igbo man in 2023. Nobody will play us for fools one more time.


We may not be politically savvy, but we will be nobody's fool.

Malaifia1993:
you don't have a reason.Talk is cheap.According to you,he say the prayer of the poor masses will go in vain and you think he is wrong. Think well to understand under which contexts he made the statement. But Buhari( the lifeless one in aso rock)make sure that through his anti- people, satanic governance,the prayer of the poor is in vain.APC propaganda exercise will also be in vain

SuperStriker:
Sanchez01, your analysis is flawed and let me tell you why:

1. It is common knowledge that there are millions of Igbos in the SW especially Lagos, there's no argument about this. The 14m voters in the region are not all Yoruba. Millions are Igbos. Check the numbers in the SW between Jonathan and Buhari in 2015. Also check the numbers between Ambode and Agbaje in the same year to confirm this.

2. Even if Atiku picks a VP from the SE, Yoruba votes would be split between Buhari and Atiku. Same thing will happen if he picks a VP from the SW, some Yourubas will still vote for Buhari. It won't make much difference.

3. Atiku cannot risk voter apathy in the SE & SS regions. If he makes the mistake, APC will quickly take advantage and run him over.

4. Many Yoruba are already tired of Buhari and the fraudulent change. There's so much frustration in the land. Many will vote for Atiku even if he picks a VP from the SE.

Humility017:


I am from south south.
he will massively win south south and south east it all depends on his campaign strategy...Every one wants him now because of buhari misrule but how to get some Yorubas along is a daunting task at the moment.

Sanchez01:

I HOPE YOU ARE AWARE THAT THE 2023 ELECTIONS WON'T BE ABOUT IGBOS BUT THE SOUTH??

Why I don't want to dissipate my energy arguing everyday who should be picked the Vice President is that all these fake news emanating from Southwest's Lagos -Ibadan Expressway Media propaganda trying to deceive and coerce Atiku to pick his VP from southwest! However, take the following points from me:

1. Even if Atiku pick his VP from southwest, it will not have any impact on the vote he will get from southwest. The southwest will still vote APC because they plotting to grab power as soon as 2023 instead of voting Atiku and wait a longer period till 2027.

2. If Atiku pick his VP from southwest, he will not get any vote from southeast and South-South! This will be the beginning of his failure.

3. If Atiku pick his VP from southwest, he will not get any financial support from southeast Governors and southsouth Governors. We all know the Southwest does not have any PDP Governor to support him during the election!

4. Southwest at the moment does not have any credible PDP member to be chosen a VP! Is it Fayose or Fani Kayode?

5. Southeast has been the greatest support of PDP even when southwest abandoned the party!

6. Southwest ruled the Country under PDP for 8yrs. So all these mundane talk that PDP marginalised them is arrant nonsense!

7. Virtually all those fabricating and peddling these fake news and calling Atiku to choose his VP from southwest are APC agents attempting to lure Atiku into making the greatest mistake of his political life!

8. Igbos residing in Southwest are monumental (about 30% of people residing in Southwest are Igbos) and will vote massively for Atiku if he choose his VP from southeast.

9. Southeast delegates voted massively for Atiku while southwest delegates voted for Tambuwal in anticipation of the latter making Fayose his VP!

10. Lastly, it is very wicked, selfish, greedy and evil for Southwest to be angling for VP position of PDP! Having ruled under the party in the person of their son Obasanjo; and their son Osinbajo having been VP for 4yrs now! Still they are plotting to take over from Buhari in 2023! Is southwest the only Nigerians in the Southern part of Nigeria? So to them, southeasterners are slaves and does not deserve any political post? This is sheer wickedness in high places!

danie09:
unfortunately atiku isn't the change most yoruba clamour for. Most of them see him as a carbon copy and share the same hatred they have for their son obasanjo . they see him as a corrupt fellow who laid the foundation for corruption after the nation's return to democracy and his unwillingness to travel to the united states is a big turn off for most people.

Daboomb:


Its NEVER gionna happen, mark my words and bookmark this thread till wednesday.

Eitherway, PDP will still lose the election!

Atiku would not make the mistake of picking his VP from the East. He hopes the Votes of the West will tip him over the bar.
WHY?
- SEast has small voting population compared to the West

- He knows the East does not really like the North that much and wont risk the wrath of the SWest


Even if he picks his VP from the SWest, can that person be more "intelligent" than Osinbajo?
The West will stil not vote for Atiku. he is a wanted criminal and the West dont tolerate such scumbags.

Will that mean they would vote for Buhari?
Thats a 50-50 because he is stuck with osinbajo.
A lot of S/Westerners will not vote for Buhari due to his Nepotism, support for the terrorist herdsmen and his fulanisation Agenda.
Ofcourse, the East too will not vote for him anyway.

ORIENTATION101:
you guys will just be pulling out stats from thin air like igbos 30%. of south west like re u kidding me .
apart from lagos and ogun .igbos populations in osun, ondo, ekiti,and oyo state is not up to 800,000

i am a yoruba i have worked for inec ,2007,2011 and 2015 in southwest . i can tell you igbos dont have up to a 1 million voters in whole south west.

60% of igbos in south west re petty traders ,majority of them dont participate in election.

if you re living in southwest i want to give you an assignment in next election.
go round all polling boths in the local govt u stay and check the names of list for accreditations and confirm this yourself.

Umueme:
Didnt even bother to read the post,but one thing is certain if SW gets the VP slot then we give Bubu our vote and get 2023 presidency. We aint gonna fall for the gimmicks of the afonjas no more. VP and senate pres. from one region.....

But hey! what do i know....
#MyOpinion

Fawklicant:
It would be a death knell for atiku if SE is ignored for that position. The SW votes is already divided. Igbos and other tribes own a huge chunk of the SW votes, Lagos ,Ogun and even NC like Abuja come to mind. SE/SS is the only place he can get block votes unadulterated. If they have a sense of vested interest, then expect massive voting of pdp in SW/SS.
Registered voters in SW is around 7million. SW is 14million and that includes SE, SS, MB and other non indigenous tribes. Let's even say they constitute only 2million of the lot, the balance 12million is already divided along several political considerations.
Atiku should be guided properly.

Buterflyle0:


You still don't understand anything obviously.

He would focus more on the SW because he feels the SE is already his.

This singular SELFISH action from him would effectively mean the SE would NEVER get a shot at Presidency for another 16 years if not more.

My focus is not on the SW but on the obvious choice he has to selfishly make so he can shore up on votes from the SW which happens to have twice the number of voters the South East has.

Numbers is everything at the polls and he needs those numbers badly

Even though he would still not get the needed numbers, he still has to try.

PDP has been forced because of Buhari to field a northerner due to high northern votes. They will also be forced to field a South westerner as VP due to high votes from SW as against the SE.

I am a political genious so don't argue with me in this area. The choices are already well defined

rahazaqa:
You were being sensible from the beginning until your 8th point, this same mistake all of you have been making. Do you live in SW? Have you ever voted in SW? How many Igbo dey vote for SW? Let's assume, the few Igbos in Lag will have gut to troop out to vote for Atiku, you think same will happen in Ogun, Osun, Oyo and the rest? I have voted in different polling units in SW and i have never met any Igbo person on the line. Even in 2015, they could not do anything to help Gej but you think you can do more for Atiku. Some of you even said Igbos represent 50% of the voters in SW. Wonderful.

danie09:
ya'll need to stop this wrong assumption of a large population of Igbo voters in sw.such nonsense doesn't exist.what happened in2015 won't repeat itself.there's a different government in office and for Christ sake .millions of Nigerians see atiku as a corrupt man they can't trust with the treasury

Moreso, if Igbos makes up to 30% population in SW, then lets agree that other tribes like Hausa, Edo, and the rest make up another 30%, so you mean Yoruba does not make up to 45% of the population in SW? Wonderful.

SuperStriker:


The truth is that a significant percentage of the voting population in the SW are not Yoruba.

This is not up to 50% as exaggerated by some posters but I am sure it's considerable.

i have never made wrong calculations in politics.

I am not your mate, save your silly banter for kids like you

NotJustOkay:


where do these foolish thinking come from? Why not check the gap between apc and pdp in the 2015 election in ondo and ekiti? who voted for adeleke in just concluded osun election? Are those ones ibos too? look, I'm a politician myself, no outsider can determine the outcome of election in any region in Nigeria. Why don't you ibos influence votes in the north? Ohaneze said there are 11 million ibos in the north. why did't you give pdp 5 million votes in 2015?

foreigners will alwaysa vote according to the dictate of indigenes. No ibo man dare vote against my party in my polling booth or they are not even allowed to vote.

alexvatt:
Moreover V.P slot belongs to South West. It will be a disaster for Atiku to pick his vice from another zone.

SuperStriker:


SW votes will be split whether Atiku takes a VP from the SW or SE.

He should get a firm grip of the SE & SS.

gratiaeo:
South West is only dreaming about getting vp position from PDP. I thought yoruba said PDP is dead why are they having multiple orgasm over PDP matter

danie09:
there is a large % of northerners in the south west also.the beggars, cart pushers, shoe shiners etc

EternalTruths:




Yoruba people on Nairaland are childish in reasoning.

They keep shouting 14m without finding what constitutes the 14m.


50% of that 14m are non indigenes.
