I Can see some Yorubas congratulating buhari already because Atiku picked a SEs and i just laugh at the stuppidity of jumping the gun already,

i wonder why you lots think any election is about you folks...talk about delusions of grandeur/self-centeredness raise to infinity..

Anyway Atiku is the -word for my family and i.

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 angry

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
Was Osibanjo as popular as Obi when people voted him in 2015?

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?

Honestly, Atiku would have picked Peter obi as finance minister rather than VP. and given the VP slot to a Yoruba. Now this current pair would make the igbos prove. That they are the most populous tribe and are scattered all around Nigeria.

Finally, politics is a game of interest. Why aren't we hearing Biafra again? Only time will tell, I hope this will finally settle their beef with Nigeria (if Atiku wins o)

The battle line has just been drawn! I will see who has more political strength among the SW and SE. As for Edo North, Sowore will get more vote than Atiku.

When Buhari chose Osinbajo in 2015, they didn't say, why didn't he choose from the south east, afterall the south west would still vote Buhari'

Speak for yourself.

Adeshina betrayed PDP and secretly leaked all PDP info to APC in 2015.

Where has he been?

They are that horrible na, u don't know before now

They are ready to exhume Abacha and vote for him so long as he picks a Yoruba as VP!

Most of their actions since 1966 is mostly to spite Igbos.

They are so scared of Igbos to a fault lol.

Atiku should have given them the VP slot knowing fully well that Igbos would vote for him whether he picked an Igbo person or not!

All Igbos want is a secured, thriving Nigeria devoid of marginalization of any tribe, with a level playing ground, Igbos will always lead economically cool

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.
WTF: Obi is proven leader in business and politics. He has executed in business and politics. He’s a practicalist not a theorist.
He founded two banks when he was under 45. He’s in the same league with Elumelu and Ovia. Pls put some respect on it.

the east can not hold the position of the party chairman and vice president, this is what we told them then, the igbo are greedy, with them holding those two positions, Yoruba will not get anything, I'm afraid for atiku, we trust Atiku but not igbos

Which person from the South East is party chairman?

Sense you will not have. uche Secondus is from the south east, abi?

I wonder since when APC fans started caring about the welfare of PDP.

South West should go for Senate President, which in many ways is as powerful if not more powerful than a VP. I don't know of Obi's personality, but a VP can be powerful or not dependent on their personality.

This is how Nigerians will vote

NW - Buhari
NE - Atiku
NC - Atiku (too many Fulani killings that NC can never vote Buhari)
SE - Atiku (if Obi is indeed VP)
SS - Atiku (time to take vengeance on the loss by GEJ)
SW - 50% Buhari and 50% Atiku (especially if SW get the Senate presidency)

All Igbos in NW, NE, NC, SW, and SS - Atiku

Come 2019, Atiku is the next president

I hope Igbos anywhere in Nigeria have ed to vote. Your vote for Atiku counts, whether you live in Lagos, Kano, Maiduguri, Abuja or Port Harcourt

You Yorubas needs to be examined big time.

Why do you people always want to reap from where you did not sow?

Spot on. Boo would have been good as an adviser and not as a VP candidate. This slot should have been given to Chukwuma Soludo. That's one power house brain we need to unleash prosperity on the nation.
