The 2023 presidential election was a highly contested and unpredictable event in the history of Nigerian politics. Numerous factors were at play, including internal struggles within the PDP and deliberate sabotage within the APC. The involvement of powerful figures in the presidential villa, along with Atiku's alliance with Emefiele and the petrol scarcity, seemed to be tilting the scales in his favor. However, the unexpected popularity of Peter Obi and his appeal to Christian voters posed a significant threat to Atiku's chances.

Ultimately, it was Tinubu's victory, which can be attributed to two main factors. Firstly, Atiku's disregard for zoning and secondly, Peter Obi's widespread among Christian voters who typically lean towards the PDP but in this case, aligned with the LP.

With the race for 2027 already underway, it is clear that Peter Obi has his sights set on the presidency based on his recent actions. Atiku, on the other hand, has not given up on his long-standing dream and even stated in a press release after the Supreme Court's judgement that he will not be leaving the political scene. This sets the stage for the 2027 election.

Tinubu still holds strong from his allies and also benefits from being the current incumbent. Atiku, on the other hand, seems to be losing his ers but still has the backing of the northern oligarchs. Obi is working to change the narrative, no longer relying solely on his Christian but instead positioning himself as a candidate for all of Nigeria.

However, in the election, Obi's popularity within the church may not have the same impact as it did in 2023, and his new alliance with the Muslim community may not significantly increase his votes. Atiku, on the other hand, will be tough to defeat in the Northeast and Northwest regions. Individually, none of these candidates have made significant changes to increase their electoral success in 2027. As we saw in the previous election, it is likely that Tinubu will capitalize on this and secure another victory.

The only way to prevent Tinubu from winning in 2027 is through a coalition. Atiku should step aside and throw his behind Obi, with either Kwankwaso or El-rufai as his running mate. This coalition needs to start working together now, or they risk facing defeat.

This is the plain truth. If Atiku Abubukar and Peter Obi contest separately in the next election, it will be a cheap win for Tinubu. In that case, I won't even bother going out to vote if I will be in Nigeria that time.

True

Pls don't let Pandora and his ipob.s nuisance to start another round of tears,it's too early. Let encourage them till then so our laughter can tarry

The challenge lies in how to convince the two of them to work together. Atiku believes he doesn't have age on his side and as such won't trade away the chance of testing his popularity again in 2027 on the alta of coalition. On the other hand, Obi believes it is not morally okay for Atiku to keep insisting when it's the turn of the south.

Let's not call people unprintable names on this thread, disagree with people as it is a right but we must maintain decorum while at it.

Thank you.

That's exactly why Obidients are around , they willl be used by Tinubu to make sure that there is no coalition

Over ambition and ideology won't let the oppositions merge together.

Having ambition is commendable, but it must be balanced with practicality. Being open to adjusting plans when confronted with reality is not a sign of weakness. Ambition must be coupled with tact in order to succeed.

Obidients will not agree with you on this.

If the Nigeria youths really care about better Nigeria, then they should forget about channeling their energy on any of the Presidential candidates from whatever party in 2027.

Infact, the governors are not per say our problem, the real crooks are the Senators, House of Reps , House of Assembly . Those are the places where laws are made.

We need to first get rid of our current set of lawmakers and inject those that we trusted across the region , across the state. Let's start from there before even thinking of winning the state governorship election not to talk of presidency.

Let the charity begins from the constituency

It's not an overnight process

If Nigerians are foolish enough to still apc by giving them the sustainable vote to be able to rig then APC show do more 50 years

There is no point removing a Tinubu and replacing him with another person like him

Let's see the level of hardship that would make Nigerians begin to vote based on personal conviction not tribal and religious sentiments

If it means 50 years of APC bad rule then so be it

Both El-Rufai and Kwankazo are bigger than Obi politically and none of them will deputies him, which will make things hard for Obi.

Even Obi knew this and will not want to contest with them in same party primary...

The only place Obi can win a party ticket is if given for free like LP did.

As weak as LP party is, Obi can't win Anyone on direct primary there...

I still maintain my old stands that If another neutral party is formed, and place Obi and madam peace Ebele Jonathan to contest the ticket, that woman will floor Obi. I am talking about local politics.

Obi might be a good person, but he's a weak politician

That's just common sense.

Politics is a complex game, with individuals voting for a variety of reasons. These can range from personal beliefs to religious affiliations or even tribal loyalties. Regardless of the motivation behind a vote, it is not our place to dismiss it as foolish simply because it differs from our own.

For Obi to have a chance at winning, it is imperative that other parties come together and rally behind him as the flag bearer. Additionally, ers like yourself must realize that just as you have the right to Obi, others have the right to their own preferred candidates.

In order to secure victory for Obi, we must actively engage with different demographics and focus on key policy issues. It is crucial to create an environment of trust and mutual respect, rather than engaging in unnecessary grandstanding.

Just shut up abeg, yeh yeh yeh yeh...

Kwankwaso is bigger than Obi. Just imagine the nonsense you are spewing.

You think it's by being a northerner and using amajiri and illiterates to rig election is what is called being big?

If any those useless men you mentioned above had moved to LP like Obi did, you think they'll gornner the kind of popularity Obi got?

Just dey yenh dust because of your hatred.

Atiku getting the ticket for 2027 presidential elections may be the worst mistake A party in coma like PDP would ever make.
Many of his ers in the PDP like Secondus are already in bed with the Jagaban

I won't trade words with you but enlighten you.

Politics is local and can Obi play local game?

In every state, those people you names have people who can make the difference in their ward's and local governments, who's going to run things for Obi in your ward or local government?

I can bet everything, you don't have a political card, and when it becames local government primaries, you won't have any effects in Obi political carrier, but can only become his liability by insulting people online.

Politics is run from word to local government and to state before the federal, but you lots believe it's done on social media.

You'll cry tire

Someone who will be a octogenarian by 2027 , the guy should rest. We have tried for him severally.

True

Only death or a revolution in whatever shape or form will stop the disgusting bat from returning to power in 2027.

The greatest mistake ever made was to allow such a character into power. This bastard that bought INEC, the security services, key stakeholders, etc even as outsider, it is stupid to even imagine the possibility of a fair contest now that he is coming into the next contest as the holder of the power.

This is not the era of Jonathan who thought himself a 'democrat'. We are dealing with a sinister, shameless, desperate, soulless monster.

You deserve chilled Hero beer. I’ve been shouting this from the rooftop even before the last election.

It’s almost impossible to remove an incumbent African government without a grand coalition. See the case of 2015 presidential election. In 2023, Atiku felt that all northerners will vote for him while Obi felt that all youths will vote for him.

The nation ended up with Bulabai Baloo aka the Cassava man.
