Obi should focus on core middle belt.. Plateau, Benue, Nasarawa, Kogi, Wukari axis of Taraba, Numan federation, Southern Kaduna..

Don't waste energy, time and money on core North, those people won't vote for you..
I said this as someone that grew up in a place that can be considered core North and at the same time categorized as Middle belt.. Adamawa

Not just Numan Federation but entire Adamawa. He can disgrace Atiku Adamawa

Godjone:
They should keep backing that na their business. Myself and my brothers and sisters in the middle belt are voting Obi come next year

ABSOLUTELY! PETER OBI NAMU NE. WE CAN'T BE DECIEVED AGAIN.

VotePeterObi:

You will Cry Blood.

Shebi u pipo said no one knows Obi in the North?

Now you have counted "100k" persons doing a solidarity march for him.

If them born your candidate well, make him gather this kind crowd in Taraba without monetary inducement

Even with monetary inducement, people will collect the money but vote Peter OBi. The youths you're seeing, their parents, relatives and friends are also Obidient.

Staphylococcus:
You will witness 2024 and beyond, cos it’s guaranteed that Peter Obi won’t win. Ignore all these media brouhaha.


After insulting other tribes for 8 years, it’s election period and they all have now turned to motivational speakers, telling other tribes not to vote by ethnic lines!

You can never plant maize and harvest yam!


But it’s guaranteed Peter Obi will ONLY win on Twitter, Nairaland, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and Snapchat.

If you like don't vote him. We'll vote him. It's a choice not compulsion

3LACK:
2015/2019 Buhari would defeat any northerner even at his polling unit...the thing you should ask yourself now is can Tinubu or Obi do the same...its a big NO, Atiku has always been second in the north, and Buhari knows no Fulani/Hausa man would leave his own under any party to vote for a Yoruba or an igbo man that's why he is distancing himself from Tinubu and saying he won't any candidate.

Atiku is not stressing himself bout wike or anyone because he knows even with more APC governors in the north he's getting more than 80% and maybe 40% in the south which would see him cruise to Victory.

Atiku lost to Buhari in an election as the incumbent with only 2mill votes. Tinubu and Obi na beans

80% of those votes came from South East & South South.

mollymotion:
Abeg remove Tinubu in Taraba

Tinubu can never win nor come second in Taraba and Plateau States. These States are totally Obidient.

Penguin2:
In his last interview with Arise TV, Atiku sounded like someone who had everything figured out and hence confident of victory.

But I’ve been cracking my head to see where Atiku is really expecting his votes aside his native Northeast and some states in Northwest, where else is Atiku sure of votes.

To buttress this point, I will tell you what happened when I boarded a Uber in Lagos. It happened that the driver is from the Igbo speaking area of Delta State. We got talking and talks got to politics and he revealed that he’s card-carrying member of the PDP. But guess what, this man told me clearly that he’s Peter Obi for the presidency.

We were still analyzing his reasons when he got a call from a certain ‘Segun’ who he addressed as “my corrupt officer”. After they exchanged banters, my Uber driver now cunningly told his caller that in the forthcoming election their is for Tinubu since they are all Lagos boys. But surprisingly, Segun interjected and said “it’s Obi o”. In the end they concluded that for governorship, Senator, Rep, etc, they are voting PDP, but they are voting Obi for Presidency.

When he was done with the call, I now asked him which of the Southwest States Segun is from and guess what my driver told me, Segun is from Kogi State. He’s Okun. The part of Kogi that speak Yoruba. I got to find out that they both belong to PDP but they are both not voting Atiku for the presidency. I asked my driver if he relates with people at home in Delta to know their opinion too and he told me categorically that everybody in Delta is Obidient and dismissed Okowa’s influence.

I’m not telling you this for you to believe; I can only tell you the truth, but not force you to believe it.

Now the question is, how many PDP card-carrying are like my driver and Segun? How many southerners and MiddleBelters are like them?

So far in the electioneering process, it has been become increasingly obvious that Southeast and Southsouth, a traditional PDP region, is gone with Peter Obi of Labour Party. Again, due to Christian sentiment and for want of competent candidate who would be different from the norm, most North Central states of Plateau, Benue, Nasarawa and FCT seem to be leaning towards Obi. Taraba in Northeast is also looking Obidient. Then you add Southern Kaduna, Southern Bauchi, Southern Gombe, etc. let’s not forget that Christian sentiments might also guarantee Peter Obi about 30% of Southwest votes.

Tinubu on the other hand is looking to do well in Southwest irrespective of the negative sentiments that his Muslim-Muslim ticket has generated amongst Christian voters in his native southwest region. Similarly, a state like Kwara, who are more Yoruba than northern, might also swing to Tinubu. Again being the candidate of the party in power, it is expected that president Buhari and the northern APC governors will work to deliver some votes of the core northern states for Tinubu. Again, with his running mate coming from Northeast, Tinubu is expected to take Borno and Yobe in the region.

Kwankwaso is looking strong in Kano. Some people say Jigawa but I don’t know about that and can’t say it.

Then, there is Atiku. As of today, Atiku can only boast of votes from Adamawa, Bauchi, Gombe and Taraba in his native Northeast. Borno and Yobe are most probably gone with Shettima of APC. Then in the northwest, with Kano gone with Kwankwaso, Atiku seems to be looking strong in other states of the Northwest of Kaduna, Katsina, Sokoto, Jigawa, Kebbi and Zamfara. But that’s where it ends. Where else is Atiku sure of votes in Nigeria. We may concede he would garner some votes in Delta because of Okowa but I can place a bet that Atiku will not win Delta. Just like his percentage of votes in the entire southern region will be too insignificant to be significant.

Therefore, I throw this poser to Atiku ers and those who like to claim that the election is between Atiku and Tinubu to tell me where Atiku is expecting his votes.

Penguin is a bird of reason!!!

Atiku is not winning Taraba pls. So far, all the youths I've spoken to, especially Christian youths, even those in the villages are voting OBi. Infact, most of us are voting APC for governor in Taraba but Obi for president. And if religious sentiment persists, he might not even Win Adamawa State or win with a very slim margin.

OLADD:


Sometimes there's no difference between people like you and toddlers. Did Wike "bankroll" PDP with his personal money? Which party gave Wike the platform to become who he is today? Is he bigger than Atiku or PDP as a party?
Wike is only enjoying the paraphernalia of office as a sitting governor, he would know the scores by the time he leaves his seat.
With or without Wike, Atiku is the next president of Nigeria.

ATIKU will never be President. Power must go to South- and it's Peter Obi we are voting. 90% of Northern youths that voted Atiku, especially Christians are voting only Peter Obi. Without South-East & South-South, Atiku can't be President.

[quote author=Penguin2 post=115170617]

Lol!

Even if Pope Francis nominates him a Cardinal, we will still vote Peter Obi[/quote
Absolutely!

IamAtikulate:
If Obi gets NC, SS and SE, he will win the election. No two ways about it

Absolutely! That's our goal.

oyebanji44:
65%/70% Yoruba Muslims practicing + north Muslims votes = winning strategy. ..


Like it or not power is coming to the South..
Definitely. But South-East

ImmaculateJOE:

I and my team will vote Obi..
25% is guarantee here..

U got it wrong Bro. Mark my words, OBi will share Adamawa votes with Atiku. Not just 25%; the percentage is low.

braveboi4life:
We are voting individuals and not party, APC is taking over delta, LP is taking over at the federal level, democracy has gotten beyond party sentiments.

We move!

Subsidywise20:
PDP winning

APC has work to do

Labour party has a ton ton of work to do.

U can't use Osun election to rate the Presidential election in 2023. Most of us will vote candidates in APC, PDP & other political parties. But Presidential is only Labor Party; because of PETER OBI. In my state for instance, we are voting APC for governorship but Peter Obi for president. It's about candidates not party.

If Muslims don't vote him, Christians in the North will vote him. We have the population too.

kponkedenge:
Ladies and gentlemen, there you have it. Kwankwaso just wanted to ride on Obi's popularity, use him after 8 years and then they'll dump him for another northerner.

If the northerners want to claim smartness, then southerners should stop voting for them too, because they certainly can't win the presidency without the south.

The south can form new alliance with North Central..... Places like Benue, Plateau, Nassarawa, Taraba, Abuja and maybe Adamawa are easier to penetrate than NW or NE.

Absolutely! That is just the way to go.

zionmde:

Where is tinubu planning to get his votes from again?
As for obi, SS SE and 50% NC Plus 30% SW is enough

OBI is getting at least 65 to 70 % North Central not 50% as u said. Thanks

Wike should Peter Obi Kwankwaso alignment.

If Peter Obi & Kwankwaso can merge, PDP may not even win north-east where Atiku hails from talk more of other zones in Nigeria.

Truthisunique2:
the thing is tinubu sees "south" from the prism of Yoruba alone

When he says south only Yoruba exist in his mind, but they say he is not a bigot

I his response when buhari said he can't have him as vp because of his religion, the man said in Yoruba land religion have no place

While buhari was looking at balancing the entire south beyond Yoruba and even the south tilumbu was seeing something else

I don't think he knows Christian's split the population in North Central 50/50, with the growing subjugation of Christian's in southern kaduna they know it's only a matter of time for them to be targets if Christian's no longer have say in aso rock, because this is actually a precident been set for future

Many would be voting against this like their lives depends on it

Christians are more in North Central not the ratio you are giving

JosephXavier:
It will be easier for APC to take over Akwa ibom State than for Tinubu to become the president of Nigeria

APC delegates took Tinubu over Osinbajo that is healthier and marketable, you can imagine Buhari's hand ing Tinubu while he was handing over the party flag to him. Buhari that is sick oo, hmm

Now he can't pick a northern Christian as vice because he'll loose the North and can't pick Muslim vice because he'll loose the South and the northern Christian's votes

If he tries that nonsense, he'll know that Christians in the North having electoral value.

If you think Pastor Adeboye, Pastor Oyedepo etc will a Muslim-Muslim ticket, then you have taken the joke too far. Infact, they will strongly campaign against it. That's where Tinubu will start loosing the election. With Muslim-Muslim ticket, Tinubu can't win his South West. The fact they're all ing Tinubu doesn't mean they ain't sensitive abt religion.

Dead on arrival. How will he face the Christians in South-West with such a decision. Tinubu can not even win South West with a Muslim vice talk more of other regions. He can only do well in North West since they're religious bigots.

Tinubu's failure will start from South-West should he try a Muslim-Muslim ticket

It's awful when people say notherners won't vote Tinubu if he picks a Christian as running mate. Who are the Notherners? Are you aware that Christians are more in North Central? Besides, Borno, Yobe and Bauchi, States like Adamawa, Gombe; Christian population are almost a match to Muslim. And in Taraba, Christians are predominant. So be guided by facts when making your analysis.

That will be catastrophic for APC. Muslim-Muslim ticket will never sell. It shouldn't even be contemplated. With such combination, Tinubu can't even win South-West.
