Bomboiy:


SE is split between who and who?

With all the noise and hype, PDP will still have a good outing there.

garfield1:


Atiku does not have enough to win

Atiku has more than enough, the only thing that will work against him in my opinion is his laid back approach, pulling strings from behind the scenes, he needs to be up and doing, cases study current rivers brouhaha. It should have been over a long time ago, country your chickens and move forward, not rely on the crackhead wike.

garfield1:


He is too popular in kano compared to tinubu and atiku.it will be kwankwaso 1 mil,tinubu 600,@tiku 400

You've got to be joking, APC won't see that much votes, this battle will be between kwakwaso and atiku, Ganduje is fighting the political battle of his life, some of us saw that way back in 2019 when he was bringing dick and harry into the party and trying to make them relevant in order to defeat Abba Gida Gida. Now the party is on self destruct mode, everyone hacking at his brother's.

garfield1:


They don't care,they love him still

They care, I am one of them. At a time it was an abomination to say any negative against buhari but things have changed to the extent that people use buhari to form jokes and everything. Things have changed big time.

I know people that before won't even mention the name Atiku, but today they are die hards of Atiku.

Truth is, almost everyone dissatisfied with the current arrangement in the north will look at the PDP direction, and believe me, there are lots of them.

Thisdays, its even difficult to see a die hard of APC especially at the national levels, they may governors, senators and rep , but that's that for most people.

famouscargo4u:

Yes, he will. Rabiu will get the most votes from the north. Not like Atiku is walk over though but Tinubu will marginally get more votes than Atiku. In the rural villages,

Kwankwaso is not going anywhere, in as much as a big politician, he knows and northerners know that he is not going anywhere, so voting him is a waste of vote. He might win in a state or two, get some few thousand votes in other places, that's that. Kwakwaso won't even come near atiku, I doubt Tinubu too.

garfield1:


Tbh,he will win kano

Might win kano, even if he does, the margin will be insignificant.

garfield1:


They consider buhari party apc furst

A Buhari that has failed massively.

ItsTutsi:
Atiku needs to win massively in the north, that's the problem, because PO is playing spoiler in SE/SS where Atiku should have been a natural beneficiary of votes

Atiku will clear the north by not less than 3m votes, the battle ground is not even north but SS. North + NC is to a large extent decided, SW is decided, SE is split, SS will break the the tie.

garfield1:


I think kwankwaso might win bauchi and get votes in jigawa

Lol, so you bank on social media Picts to make decisions?

ItsTutsi:
Atiku has never done anything for the north! Atiku only visits the north for campaign and then head back to Dubai after losing.. I have never seen him talk about insecurity bewilding the north!!

1- the only thing working out for Atiku is the sentiment that his a northern hausa/fulani, of course this is the only reason many northerners will vote for him, but he doesn't have any strong structure on ground to make him win north overwhelmingly

2- Atiku barely defeated Buhari in 2019 in his state, check the result.. that is a very poor outing for some you claim as a grass root politician.. if that's the margin Atiku will use in defeating Tinubu in 2023 in north, then it's game over for him, because I don't see Atiku getting 30% in SW

3- Atiku was mercilessly beaten and flogged by Buhari in the north, it wasn't even a contest!! Lol Atiku couldn't even get 20% in kano that's to show u how unpopular he is.. it was the south that pulled votes for him!!

4- bauchi votes for Buhari, so what's ur point?

5- lol there was nothing bad that was not said against buhari in 2019, there was no single good news about buhari, everybody was insulting him in the streets!! Not only did buhari win, but he won convincingly!! Even in Benue state, he only lost with 300k votes.. Buhari is still and will forever be a demi God in the north.. his still the most popular politician in the north

6- with zulum and shettima, Tinubu automatically has yobe, borno and parts of gombe.. don't forget borno has the highest votes in NE, that means Tinubu has 40% already in this region

7- come to NW.. Tinubu has ppl like El-Rufai, ganduje, shekarau, yerima, atiku bagudu, salami, matawalle, wammako, buhari etc
These are grass root politicians wityh masses on ground, who can pull votes.. who does Atiku have!?

Please may I know which state ur from?

I love your take even though certain things are funny, over simplified.

If you think atiku defeating buhari in 2019 in Adamawa was mean feat then sorry for you, there won't be a buhari on the ballot this time around.

Buhari is not Tinubu, won't explain further.

And I still hold that you over estimate zulum and shettima and underate the NE.

As for NW, you should have known that they rejected PDP in 2015 even though there were lots of big wigs of the party in the region, of 7 governors in the region of the APC, only 2 have any semblance of a reputation, the rest were unknowns and that's when the region was not suffering from the current abject neglect and insecurity, I don't think even the governors who are still non committal to the party can turn around the fortunes of the party there.

Its going to be a long ride for the APC.

I prefer saying I am from north without divulging my state.

SavageResponse:


You can subtract and add all you want, the fact remains that the main reason why Buhari ever became president is because of Tinubu!

The sky is black, agree or not. You sound like some people.

femisplash:
PDP are scared, they are reacting to Wike's latest alignment while Wike is seizing the initiatives, it's even more dangerous as PDP can't predict his next moves.

I don't see it fear, must trying to make a statement. Wike has been going on about how he is synanimous with elections in rivers without him, everyone is doomed to fail, its their way of showing the world how hollow that threat is.

Truth is wike has drawnore than he can take, he works for APC, Amaechi and the remaining chieftains in PDP work for atiku, government is established and there is nothing for him .

zigzagluv:
You people over hype the Northern People, they problem , we in the south , we always betrayal our people and dont vote as a block

You can't compare voting in the north with rivers in particular where its all about who can field the highest number of gun carrying thugs, who can mobilize policemen and soldiers to protect a mandate brazenly stolen in daylight.

It may interest you to know that the current governors of jigawa, kebbi, Niger, were very much unknown prior to 2015, people voted them in even when the governors of their states back then were of the PDP, I don't think such can happen in rivers.

8inchesdick:
One of the things that Bola Tinubu has managed to foist on Nigerians who him is to make them believe that an area that was istered and developed as Federal capital territory for 77 years, (The British established the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria in 1914 with Lagos as its capital till 1991) created as a state in 1967( 55 years) istered and developed by 15 different istrations, have become an area whose success has become his success.

That is a high percentile mental subjugation and I wonder if it has to do with his intellect or the un-intelligence of his minions.

Abi na Juju be that?

As in, you see educated people spewing this trash. Any dick and harry could turn Lagos to what it is today.

The whole economy of the country is anchored deliberately around Lagos, people migrate there, seaports for 80% of imports and exports are in Lagos, why won't it have the biggest sub national GDP?

SavageResponse:


That's why Buhari contested for presidency 3 times and failed 3 times until Jagaban came to his aid!

Bone of contention: jigawa politics, check the result of elections from 2003 to 2015 and then refer back to me.

As for Tinubu, get the total number of votes from the SW and subtract it from Buhari's votes in 2015 and 2019, refer back to me if they were consequential.

Some of us still how wike got to be Governor o, rivers of blood, Mbu etc. Man is not a politician, just a thug with power. I can bet, if free elections are to hold in rivers today, PDP not APC will carry the day despite wike's tantrums.

The downfall of the wicked.

tesppidd:
Wike has come again with his normal cheap political value expression.

What can a PDP governor from the South South brag about political value?

APC has it's stronghold in the North while PDP has it's stronghold in the South South.

Does he truly expect Sule Lamido to defeat APC in a Core North Western state like Jigawa?


Or perhaps Wike should defect to APC and let us see what remains of that his political value that he brags about so readily.

If you put 10 wikes in jigawa they cannot buhari, these lot don't know who buhari is politically.

ItsTutsi:
Lol it's clear you don't know much about northern politics or purposely trying to be mischievous! 1. Atiku is not and has never been a popular politician in the north, his only goodwill is the "VP tag that he held, that's why he needed Tambuwal to step down for him, that's why most of his votes have always come from the south.. for u to compare him to buhari and kwankwasso, shows ur nativity

2. Atiku should even be lucky to win his home state Adamawa, his not a grass root politician, but a Dubai base politician.. everyone knows that!

3. Lol Tinubu's popularity in the north has nothing to do with money, but years of networking and connections, where was Atiku when Tinubu was playing politics with abacha and Abiola?! Where was he when the likes of Tinubu were fighting for democracy, where was he when Tinubu single handed fought GEJ and insisted on Buhari as APC candidate.. Atiku is not half of Tinubu, an evil saying this as a fellow northern hausa/fulani

All those names you mentioned are in the team of Tinubu apart from Lamido, Lamido only had cult fellowship in Jigawa state, 4. which was swiped by Buhari's hurricane in 2015.. Buhari is still the most famous politician in the north, 5. buhari campaigning for Tinubu, then it's game over for Atiku

6. Kashim shettima and zulum will give Atiku a run for his money in NE, the best Atiku can get in this zone is 60% at maximum.. here in NW we don't know him, as it's strictly party affair, straight APC

Which state and region are u from if I may ask?

1. Atiku has never been popular, but things are fast changing. Nine of the candidates is a saint, I never i n a lifetime think I will be for atiku but here we are, and that's the sentiment on the street.

2. Please tell me you are joking ,even in 2019 he hold his own against 'Buhari' himself, its against Tinubu that he would fail to do such? Lol.

3. Leave this story please, go into the streets, a lot of people only started hearing Tinubu a few months back, there is nothing like Tinubu popularity please. Voting along party line is done for; buhari broke the 'sak' code himself from 2017 to 2019. Bauchi should be a pointer to that, if you know bauchi politics that is.

4. Lamido is the most popular politician in jigawa, 2109 result should give you guys big time headache, even against buhari they could turn such figures, what if when he isn't on the ballot.

5. Buhari is literally public enemy no. 1 in the north right now, a lot of us looked up to him with hopes that things could change but alas he proved to us beyond reasonable doubt how wrong we were. So for your mind buhari will campaign for Tinubu in katsina and sokoto and jigawa and kano and tell the people what exactly? Su zabi asiwaju Dan ya ci gaba da kama barayi? . man failed big time.

6. You overestimate kashim and zulum, north east is beyond borno fa mutumina. There are areas that are die hards of PDP, it was experiment that took them to APC in the first place and as an average Nigerian, I don't think that experiment worked, that's even me, how about the farmer that has to buy a bag of fertilizer at 30,000, the family man that has to buy rice @ 25,000 or the villager who can't sleep with two eyes closed? Tell him what exactly?

ItsTutsi:
Mutumina a NW bamu san Atiku ba, kuma NE kashim/zulum zasu ba APC/Tinubu kuri'a

Gombe haryanzu APC ne

NE nake, maganan Tinubu ma ba a san taba, buhari yai disappointing mutane fiye da Lima, masu marama Tinubu sai dai tsofaffi fa. Yasin kowa Atiku ne, ka san siyasar bauchi ko dama, masu yi dan Allah kenan .

Pk01:
Hw can atiku dish some one like wike for okowa..even a blind man can spot the difference between wike and okowa....


Wike is so simple let that guy resign...simple as ABC..

Lol, even wike cannot pick someone like himself as VP.

If wike is a northern politician he would be beaten hands down in that type of contest.

NaijaRoyalty:
Have they released his kidnapped brother by APC bandits?

APC is in for a long thing.

ItsTutsi:
No it won't, it can never turn to north vs south because 1. Tinubu is very popular in the north, in fact his more popular in the north than south.. coupled with his VP, who is very popular too

With 13 governors in the north, APC have the structure, 2. north vote party line.. in core rural and villages, they only know APC and PDP

APC don't need Wike, it will just be an added advantage for them

1. Dan uwa a wacce arewan knan?

2. That was 2015 o, things have been changing since. Case study, bauchi, Gombe 2019.

The Labour Party says Governor Nyesom Wike’s threat to close down hotels and relaxation centers was borne out of fears of losing power in the state.

The South-South National Vice Chairman of the party, Felix Reuben, made the claims while briefing newsmen in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.

While condemning the threat by the governor, the party leader said Wike would be going beyond his powers by destroying businesses.

According to him, “What he is doing is to scare hoteliers and political parties from holding meetings. Whatever the governor is doing, he’s doing it out of fear and I think he’s stepping above his powers.

The people of Rivers State need to call him to order because one day he’s going to leave the seat, and if the same operation is meted out to him, I don’t think he’s going to take it kindly.

So, whatever the government is saying, I totally condemn and we believe what he is doing is out of jealousy and fear of losing the power of Rivers State.

“We condemn in totality whatever the government is saying concerning pulling down people’s hotels.

“These are people’s livelihoods. If somebody holds a meeting in his father’s church today, will he go and pull down the church?”

fiizznation:
The truth is Tinubu is not popular in the North and among northerners.
But that doesn't mean he won't get some votes in the north. The governors that will sell his candidacy to northerners will have a lot of work to do.

1. A lot of people don't know him.

2. Buhari's failure is going to be a big obstacle for him - unfortunately for him, he is banking on the same Buhari to sway the north for him.

3. The few people that know him view him with same lens as Atiku or even worse, Atiku is not a Godfather(strongman) in comparison to Tinubu.

4. Rigging Ganduje in 2019 against Abba Gida Gida will count against him.

5. Past utterance and actions.

Its a tall order for APC and Tinubu. Like you said, they need to do a lot of convincing why people should trust them with the mandate.

Kyase:


I know Wike before He became governor
Abi you forget Wike was the minister of state for Education during GEJ, he later became the substantive minister of education, I hated Wike then because of the remark he made when ASUU and ASUP were on strike, so don’t tell me Wike was a nobody before 2015.
Wike can make elections not to hold in Rivers state, he has the power.
Wike is a violent man, everybody knows this, the only thing he need to do is to create violence then ask INeC not to conduct election in the state. As simple as that

Lol, tell me that's a joke.

blackboy2star:
Pdp never promised the ticket to the south. Following Pdp zoning formula its for the north and can be zoned to any region, following Apc zoning its for the South. Wike tried for Pdp no doubt but he used his mouth to kill himself during the primary campaign. My brother, Wike political weight is only Rivers and Pdp will not loose Rivers even if he jumped ship just that they will not get enough vote. You as a person will you chose Wike as a VP?
What's my own self, let me face my Obedient jeje

The funny thing is that it was Orton that submitted the report where his committee at best advised that the primaries be thrown open, same Orton that's now forming PDP pillar going places with Wike. Wike has clowns around him masquerading as politicians.

gfon:
1. If you had put in so much time, resources and money wike did in PDP then on that day,you got betrayed in the most Brutal way. 2. Not just that,the party chairman came out to call the 'judas' a hero. How would you feel? Please I want just your honest opinion,not insult. Sometimes we blame woke. But of such treatment was meted out to us. Some of us would do worse. We only drawing conclusion on the man because it didn't happen to us. Personally I would do worse. 3. I hate betrayal so much

1. Wike found PDP standing and ed, did he care to know the people that made sacrifices for the party? You think he is the only one who made sacrifices for the PDP? A lot of people had given up a lot for that party, so he is not entitled to the party as a personal estate.

2. I don't see no wrong in what Ayu did, its same as what Abdullahi Adamu, APC chairman did, congratulate Atiku and close ranks with him. Its a relief that even Wike cannot claim that the convention was rigged against him, it was money rain in which he partook, why don't the other candidates who did not have money to give start behaving like kids?

3. Tambuwal has the right to any candidate he wants for whatever reason, though in case I believe he did in the overall interest of his party, nothing like betrayal. A wike candidacy against Tinubu(with a majority north behind him), you honestly think wike stands a chance?

idmicheal20:


Why will Tinubu meet Osinbanjo Amaechi and the remaining aspirant that contested against him?

I'm not Tinubu fan but politicians needs to learn from him.

And Atiku reached out to Atiku, its just that he is an unreasonable fela who doesn't know when to stop.

AtikuOkowa:
Wike succeeded in sidelining Eeast and made sure they were out of the race.

But he ended up with neither Presidential ticket nor being picked as running mate. He thought he chased Obi and other PDP chieftains out?No.

He just helped them giving him space to play against himself. Obi and other PDP and even APC ones he mocked are at one corner laughing.

He is used freely by PDP. He dared the North and he does not know that North has much than two hands,he just run from the left hand complaining to the right.

He was Secondulised,Obasekified,Okowalised and boom!!,Tambuwalised. He was then Ayufied,Fintirilised he will know it when PDP Atikulated their next move Northerlised it. But he will be Amechinised,Lawanised and Obified firstly.

Goodnight!!!.

I never run respected wike - I never saw him as a politician, how he got elected in the first place - Amaechi had to be caged by the fg back then, one Commissioner of Police - something Mbu plus the then GOC before he was elected amidst bloodshed and killings, saw I never took him as one who can think his way out of something, for him its just fight, insults and punches, that's all he knows.

His tantrums provide Atiku with the opportunity to move over him - get Amaechi to work for him, Amaechi doesn't stand to gain anything from APC anymore, a move to make him work for the PDP is the perfect as at now, neutralize anything wike thinks he can get in rivers, I don't see wike's influence beyond rivers state and even at that, he will fight with evrythy he's got to bring something substantial for tinubu in that state. A 40% for atiku would do it for him.

I think its childish for atiku to still be waiting for when wike's childish tantrums would finish, move over the idiot, make alliances in the state, neutralize him and get what you need.

Shayetet13:


Even after looking at the dictionaries google gave you, you are still confused.

I am sorry that I can't help. They are as simple as that...

I don't have that appetite today to explain simple things

Looks to me as though you don't know what you ought to explain, simple.

Investors put money into ventures they think would bring in profits, get enough shares or equity and board chairmanship or hip is yours for the taking (you can delegate i.e give it someone to manage on your behalf), dosent mean you know the intricacies of the business or its daily functions - the only thing on your mind is protecting your investment and gaining profits.

Warren Buffet is an investor in a lot of ventures that dash out mind blowing figures every year(some of which he is on their boards), it does not matter to him how Mr.A was hired, why Mr. B was fired, why ABC Ltd got the contract and why procurement set those rules, what matters is the business brings profit.

Go and learn the basics of investing first. Oh I forgot, I was educating an 'obidient', I should go slow on you. me if you have any problem.

Was scheduled to wrote the test on the 18th but couldn't, they rescheduled me for Saturday the 19th and I still experienced technical glitches, I have not hear from them since.
