Big mistake

Why give vp to south East when u already have their votes.

VP should have been used to get massive votes from South West

Gay rights for all Nigerians. Type 454 if your proud to be gay?

454!

Misterdhee1:

Lol. Jittery? They would have been more jittery with a kwankwaso candidacy. Atiku has seemingly lost both SWest and the core north with this selection. Save the date bro.

deomelo:




When people start their posts with I'm Yoruba or I'm from the SW or I'm a Yoruba muslim, they are actually Igbos. Yoruba people don't insert their tribes into their posts, this is what Igbos do

fk001:
If this news is true,then Atiku has made the biggest political suicide.


He has shot himself on the foot.


Congratulations President Muhammadu Buhari in advance.


NB: I am Neither from SW nor SE..i sincerely think you are wrong. With objs endorsements I think he would get more than 50percent of their votes. Let's do the mathematics Atiku has the S.E, S.S,N.C. let's say half from his region and definitely half of S. W. Everyone is tired of this incompetent administration.

nokatakata:
question is why must it be these aboki.s though? WHY?

Misterdhee1:

[s]Lol. You also seem to have forgotten easily the results of Pmb's alliance with Swest in 2015. That would also come into play next year. Pmb has never had less than 2.5m in any election even when he was in a northern party. Atiku hasn't even crossed the 3m mark in his life. We aren't returning the country to those who destroyed it. You will return to your biafra agitation by this time next year[/s].

Tribalism The major problem of this shithole country

engreo:
bThat is how you guys will use ur produness to destroy atiku before election day. You see a bird on the tree and started meditation on how to cook it even without killing it yet.

Karatum:


Cry us a river

Misterdhee1:

Lol. No more biafra?

marvinsync:



if the north doesn't want anything to do with Igbos can u blame them when they say Biafra

if Nigeria is to truly exist then the north must learn to accept Igbos

but that's even if ur right

einsteine:


Go and read your constitution well.

Nobody is required to win 2/3 of states.

They are required to win a plurality of votes and at least 25% votes in 2/3 of the states. He would definitely win 25% of the votes in all 19 states of the North for starters.

onuebonyi:
This is a good news.

Nowenuse:


Igbos and SS will still vote Atiku even with a Yoruba VP, but the turn out would be very low.

In politics, you don't play with your strongholds or take them for granted.
Just as the North-west is Buhari's stronghold, the SE/SS is Atiku's stronghold (with a VP from their zone).

boxypane:

Because they simply don't have a representative in the PDP!!!! Have you forgotten that only the west and the north decides who rules!!! Oga, division will never let the east come together, and even if they do, there votes wouldn't decide anything meaningful.

BUBU and crew may probably no longer need to lose any sleep.
OBJ has succeeded in crumbling Atiku final political mission.(if you know you know)
This is a case of buying what you already have.
Atiku already has the votes from SS/SE, why picking a running mate from there even?
The West won't vote against PYO!

RTSC:

The south west have not decided who rule Nigeria since 1999.

The only time Yoruba contributed significantly to a victorious outcome was in 2015.

If you guys are not careful, the south west will return back to their perpetual opposition status.

You guys function better that way

Miscalculation. South East was already in his pocket, who is he tryig to court? Obasanjo cannot win southwest for him because of Tinubu's clout but a SW VP would have been a master stroke. Anyway, What do I know

Registered Voters

Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones:

Northwest =18,505,984

Southeast =8,293,093.

Southwest = 14,626,800

South-South=11,101,093

North central=10,586,965

Northeast zone= 9,929,015

Let me ask you guys this question; if Atiku has about 90% counted votes in SS / SE combined, Which region will buhari such a huge vote?

The truth is North will play politics with sentiments when it comes to tenure; Buhari re-contest will earn them 4 years from now while if Atiku wins they are potentially going for a possible 8 years tenure. Do not say it does not matter;

Atiku will share north with Buhari when Kano, Kaduna and Sokoto are having most of their experienced politicians now with the PDP.

Whether VP or not in the SW, Atiku will still get votes from some learned ones, youths and non indigene who cares .... Also middlebelt will be taken by Atiku also...

NE / NW for Atiku wins - 60 / 40 (remember Atiku will bring them another 8 years )SE / SS - for Atiku 85/15 SW for Buhari - 60 / 40Middle Belt - for Atiku - 70 / 30Overall, Atiku will win the 2019 Presidential ElectionEconomically Buhari has failed .... Do not ignore this fact...

stinechykee:
like the way you guys always use una greediness,selfiness,marginalisation mentality to destroy your lord and savior Buhari right

With This Combination!

Atiku Has Just Won The South West 100%
