If truly Atiku has picked Peter Obi from southeast as his VP, then the APC led FG may use it against them. How? The FG may relax the security in the SE and SS during elections to allow IPOB carry out no vote threat which will lead to low voters turn out against PDP. 3 Likes |

Let us consider this matter pragmatically, Atiku with a SW running mate ; Osinbajo and Tinubu Factor will be an hinderance plus he might not get south eastern sympathy. The southeast will not like to be shunned a second time. Kingsley Moghalu is also there and I know the PDP will likely work with him 2019 if they win Atiku with a SE running mate ; He will get overwhelming south eastern support,if this happens, the Tinubu power reign might likely come to an end. The only problem with this strategy is Jimi Agbaje doesn't pose a threat to sanwo - olu in lagos and winning the elections without Lagos and a section of the North seems like an uphill task.This is the frank truth. Implication on Igbo Presidency in 2023; APC winning 2019 elections will create a high possibility of an Igbo president in 2023.Tinubu power reign might still be affected cos yorubas will not willingly vote in an Igbo man for president. Atiku winning 2019 elections will end hopes for Igbo presidency in 2023 and probably any time soon. CONCLUSION: Atiku choosing Peter Obi as running mate portends a positive effect on the economy and ease of doing business in Nigeria. Peter Obi is a technocrat and has ties with World Bank and IMF though this might not count for much.Might be able to woo Okonjo Iweala back into running the economy as CBN governor.Overall, this shows Atiku/PDP are not here to play so APC and other parties shouldnt think they are pushovers. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

candygist:Are you not happy that we are one Nigeria again?.... See let me tell you something about the igbos. at least I have stayed with them.... They are business oriented so anything or anybody that is a threat to business is seen as the enemy. while majority of the population of other regions are salary earners or farmers..... have you asked yourself while abia and imo is owing months of salary yet you hardly hear about it? It is because they hardly depend on the government for survival... To an average Igbo man Buhari is a threat to business. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Bishop4real: Ghana former President Mahama lost the election with that mindset. The Volta Region are core NDC, during his tenure NDC felt that they already had the Volta Region in the kitty and then decided to do more projects in Kumasi etc (Core Opposition areas) in order to win over people in those areas. Guess what happened, the area they felt they had in the kitty boycotted the election, they didn't vote for the opposition and didn't even vote for their own party. The opposition won easy. Lesson: Never take people for granted. Ignoring the SE will backfire, there are no wrong or right answer. It's better to reward loyalty than try to win over the opposition. 12 Likes 1 Share |

Bishop4real:Why didn’t APC give their VP ticket to SE since they have SW in their kitty already? It’s because you’ve never participated in politics. Rule number 1 is politics is that you should all it takes to retain and consolidate on Your stronholds. You don’t throw away your stronghold while looking for a new stronghold. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

The Atiku/Pete Obi Combination may not seem like a wise decision for the politically nepotistic, but it is the wisest decision for Nigeria and a better alternative to a Buhari/Osinbanjo cocktail of strange bedfellows. Obi is a great business man, so is Atiku. If two Entrepreneurs run Nigeria the way they run their successful businesses, then Nigeria will have no business being poor. It will however be a Herculean task, not from local road blockers, but for the IMF/World Bank and the Office of International Relations, who will stop at nothing to ensure that only fools rule Nigeria. I just wish this news is true. It will be the best combination since 1900. The very first attempt to restructure and economically activate Nigeria. 9 Likes 2 Shares |
Re: Atiku Picks Peter Obi As Running Mate by GSA01: 4:04pm On Oct 12, 2018 |
Yes oh, Good choice by Atiku. Peter Obi from south east is the running mate. at least we now know the contenders and key players.. Buhari- North west. the zone with highest voters Osinbajo-South West, the zone with the second highest voters VS Atiku- North East. Zone with the third highest voters(Buhari stronghold) Peter Obi-South east, zone with the least voters Your guess is as Good as mine!!!!!!! 2 Likes |

Re: Atiku Picks Peter Obi As Running Mate by axponline: 4:05pm On Oct 12, 2018 |
To all those who think a running mate from the SW will make a significant difference please consider the following 1. SW usually votes for whoever they think will present a progressive agenda for Nigeria not because of tribe etc. In 2015, PMB was voted for in the SW because we thought he would restore some sanity to the system and not because of Prof Osinbajo per se. 2. SW votes have always been split 60/40 between opposition and PDP regardless of who the candidate is. Even in 2015 when PMB won, the vote was still split 60/40 between apc and pdp. Its not going to be any different this time around. 3. Even when Obasanjo a SW candidate was running, the vote was still split 60/40 at the presidential election. In 2019, the SW vote will still be split 60/40 is what I think regardless of who the VP candidate is. 8 Likes 3 Shares |

marvinsync: Its sickening, pmb/pyo has done nothing for them and they still want to vote them back. People who are likely to implement the restructuring that they have craved for are on the ballot and they still want to hang on to one VP position that actually brings nothing to them.
