Now that the igbos have something to hold on to rather than the dead on arrival Biafra.

Peter Obi for VP?
Peter Obi though, he is thrift and smacks of a corrupt free politician (as far as I know),
lacks the political sagacity to galvanize the votes of the southerners in a national election.
He is better with a given parastatal appointment than a national elective position.
I'll prefer prof Soludo (for his economic insights) or go to the south west.

franchasng:
If u are Yoruba, u ought to know how Yoruba people vote during national election.

Yorubas and Fulanis are the most tribalistic tribes in Nigeria, followed by Igbo and Hausa then Berom, Ijaw, etc.

Yorubas consider voting for their tribal man or woman first before they consider competence. Same applies to Fulani.

But Igbos vote personality not even party.

Once Igbos perceive u as a man who loves all, respects all, supports business and industrialization and not a religious extremist, then Igbos will vote for u regardless of your party or popularity.

If APC present Osinbajo as Presidential candidate, Igbos will become divided on who to vote between Osinbajo and Atiku.

But with Buhari as APC presidential flag bearer, Igbos will vote even Sowore than vote for Buhari who happens to be a religious extremist and tribalist.

But majority of Yorubas are ready to vote for devil so long as that devil picks a Yoruba as VP and ready to openly marginalize Igboa while favouring Yorubas

That is how Yoruba people vote in national election.

Individually Yorubas are cool but collectively in national politics, they are very horrible to deal with

pocohantas:
I am surprised there are people still supporting Buhari. Some people dey craze o

Movic1:
With the emergence of Atiku's running mate,buhari just won himself these states..
7 NW States

6 SW States

4 NE States

4 NC States

and lastly FCT..

Buhari will continue to rule till 2023...

Atiku becoming the president is a shortage for the South,especially SW...

masinga07:
Am from the west but honestly i would have been surprised if Atiku had pick his VP candidate from SW. He has done what is right and i can assure the Easterners that in this battle, You will never walk alone. Atiku/Obi ticket is not to redeem the east alone but Nigeria. East deserves this more than the West because if not for the SE/SS there wont be any PDP again in the first place.

Ategberoson:
congrats to Peter obi as VP. is not easy to be nominated as VP of a second popular party but what does his political CV carried?

does he have political friends out of East? what is his political extension like? how many people know peter obi in North? even okorocha, OUK is popular than him. I shouldn't even mention southwest as we won't trade our son for hateful Igbo


Atiku with Obi an intending failure that will silent Atiku political carrier forever. thanks to their adviser

Biggty:
Atiku and PDP would have stand a chance if they made a better choice by picking a more popular VP candidate, with this combo they will lose woefully next year.


Congratulations to APC in advance

eodavids:


Your predictions are near accurate and indeed tenable, but that is under a free and fair election.

It should worry every Nigerian that the APC in collaboration with our present INEC team have adopted the approach of shifting the goal post where it won't favour them.

1). They are nownused to denying free and fair voting to areas where they are weak.

2). They declare an election won by their opposition "inconclusive" so they can maneuver the process and get winning at all cost.

3). They will conduct all the observers to do their observation at the place where APC is strong and in upper hand, which is also where they allow free and fair polls to take place.

Colourich:
Had it been he didn't pick Peter obi, igbos will be reluctant to vote come next year. They are underestimating our votes and they think because Atiku's wife is Igbo, he has Igbo's vote locked down whether he picked a Yoruba as a running mate or not

izzou:


I had wanted that Adeshina guy, but I think Atiku calculated well

To those thinking the South west won't vote him, go back to 2015 elections and see for yourself whether APC got 80% in the west

BigIyanga:


Folks like u keep mixing things up for some reasons.Igbo business and political class never supported Kalu nor distingeration of the country. Most Igbos didnt support Kalu until police and military started attacking them.

izzou:


The truth is Buhari performed below par. I live in the West, and I still don't see what he did for them even with their son at the centre

Doing the same thing twice and expecting different results is stupid. It's only on nairaland I see Yourubas supporting Buhari because of Osibanjo

The one living where I stay are lamenting.

PHILipu1:
.
Lol.
Remember that PDP controlled Aso rock and dollars rained in south west then.

But come 2019 that PDP can no longer use federal might.
APC will sweep south west and south south.

thunderfirebuha:


Why are the orubas this sadistic?

You people hated PDP, why demand VP from PDP?

Take your tears elsewhere

franchasng:
Yes, knowing Yorubas as the most tribalistic tribe in Nigeria after Fulani, they won't vote Atiku again.

Yorubas vote tribe first before competence.

Atiku ought to have given Adesina the VP slot just to get tribalistic Yoruba people's vote. And Adesina would have made a wonderful VP.

Maybe he could have picked Peter Obi for another appointment when he wins.

Seriously, Atiku has lost Southwest.

His advisers didn't advice him well.

They ought to have informed him that whether he picked an Igbo person as VP or not, Igbos will massively vote for him against Buhari that is well disliked amongst majority of Igbos.

Atiku u fall my hand walayi

Esseite:
One thing Atiku/Peter have in common...

All of their businesses are situated right here in Nigeria.
