THE VICTORY OF ATIKU IN THE PDP PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES IS THE VICTORY OF DR. OGBONNAYA ONU'S PRESIDENCY WITH APC IN THE 2023 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

Political analysts have taken time since last night, the 28th day of May, 2022 to pontificate on the possibilities of 2023 Presidential Election. The social media is awash with several analysis and the fun of it is that most of them are either PDP members or those with prejudiced perspective. But in the plenty analysis there are many of them that are very apt and factual. One of such is an article written by topnotch political activist and analyst who has been known for his high sensitivity and persistently perfect political predictions. His analysis is very objective and verifiable. 

Comrade Charles Ibiang in his article titled 'ATIKU EMERGENCE IN PDP AND APC PATH TO ELECTORAL VICTOTY IN 2023" wrote how APC has been given victory in the 2023 Presidential Election by Atiku's emergence. 

Let's read what he said in that piece;

"No Northern Muslim Candidate of APC today can defeat Atiku! APC shouldn't toy with such idea. His (Atiku's) liberal and cosmopolitan nature is endearing to the South.

Yes! The Country is polarized along Religious, Ethnic, and Regional lines. The situation today is worst and downplaying its current effects is playing the ostrich! These issues are deeply rooted and passionate to many!

Strategically, APC can still win clearly and retain power if they present a strong Southern Candidate, who doesn't have any or too much encumbrances in the three Zones of the South, especially a person with advantages or the capacity to Win majority South-South, South-East and 50% South-West. South-West is politically sophisticated, an average is the highest you can get from the Region, no matter your popularity. The candidate must also have a strong Appeal in the North-Central and North-East. The North-West votes with some part of North-East are deeply embedded and entrenched by certain factors. Let's stop the pretences, we know them! The North-West Conclave and their controllers should give the Southern APC Presidential candidate a Vice! They should extract a "COMMITMENT".

In the above copiously quoted scientific and factual article, certain factors that will give the APC victory in the 2023 Presidential Election were emphatically highlighted thus;

1. No Northern Muslim Candidate of APC today can defeat Atiku.

2. Atiku's strength is in the South.

3. Ethnicity, zoning and religious factors are against Atiku and weaken his possibility to win.

Factors to look out for in an APC candidate for the party's victory in 2023;

1. A strong Southern candidate who has no issues and is acceptable to the 3 zones of the South.

2. The Southern candidate must be a person with advantage or capacity to win majority votes in the South-East, South-South and 50% of South-West.

3. South-West is politically sophisticated, don't expect anything more than average votes from them no matter the popularity of the candidate, even if the candidate is from the South-West. 

4. The candidate must have strong appeal to the North-Central and North-East.

5. The North-West leaders should give Vice to the Southern APC presidential candidate with some commitment and trust.

In the entire political calculations which is completely right, it is clear that the best candidate to win the Presidential Election in 2023 for the APC has to be from the South-East (MUST). And with the clarification and requirements that are perfectly and factually enumerated here, the only aspirant in the APC at the moment who has all that is required for the APC to win the 2023 Presidential Election against an Atiku Abubakar of the PDP is Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu.

These factors are cogent ;

1. Against an Atiku Abubakar, zoning is in favour of Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu.

2. In areas of strength, PDP's powerhouse and stronghold is in the South and especially the South-East and they will abandon Atiku once Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu is with the Presidential Ticket of the APC for the 2023 Presidential Election.

3. Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is older than Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu and so age advantage is going for Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu.

4. The North to North and Muslim to Muslim transition which is a threat to our national unity and cohesion is terribly against Atiku Abubakar but highly favours Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu who represents equity and federal character in power sharing and transition in Nigeria.

5. Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu is a strong Southern aspirant in the APC and doesn't have any encumbrances in any manner.

6. Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu is well acceptable in all the 3 zones of the Southern Nigeria. He will definitely win the entire South-East and South-South and garner above 50% votes in the South-West.

7. Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu has the strongest appeal to the entire North (North-Central, North-East and North-West) having been with the Northern political leaders of the defunct ANPP and CPC for many years. He also has earned and shared experiences of love, trust, loyalty and dedication with the entire North ranging from the 1st Republic.

8. Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu is the wonder of Science, Technology and Innovation which is highly required in the next President of Nigeria in 2023. He knows what to do having been with President Muhammadu Buhari since 2015. He knows the good and the bad, the strength and weaknesses of the current leadership. He will begin at the appropriate spot. 

9. Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu is the candidate that the APC needs to coast home victorious and triumphant in the 2023 Presidential Election against an Atiku Abubakar. The candidate who has been presented by the PDP - Atiku Abubakar - is heavily weakened against Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu who will ride blessfully with plenteous advantages in his bag.

All we can say at the moment is that the die is cast and APC must not fail to choose right. And we can say to them in advance with Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu as their Presidential Candidate; congratulations to APC!
