"The two major political parties in Nigeria today, the PDP and the APC are not built on any known political ideologies, but on personalities, religions, ethnicity and geopolitical zones where they derive their political support from. The worst electoral mistake that the opposition party, the APC in Nigeria will be making in the 2015 presidential election in that country is to go ahead and pick any of these Northern Nigerian APC governors or the former vice-president of Nigeria, Abubakar Atiku as its presidential candidate against Jonathan Goodluck. General Muhammadu Buhari should be picked by the APC if this politician is still personally interested in running for that office for the fourth time and if his physical health is still very good for the rigor of the cross-country campaigns and the intellectual challenges of the office of the President of Nigeria.

There is no single Northerner today that has the same type of the massive grassroots movement that General Muhammadu Buhari has built over the years and he enjoys freely in the entire core North, a highly important political zone that is needed by the APC to win big in that part of Nigeria in 2015. The presidential election results of 2003, 2007 and 2011 respectively revealed clearly the political strength and capacity of General Muhammadu Buhari in the powerful core North voting blocs of Nigeria. Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his APC governors of the South-West will become typical noise makers, political nonentities and empty barrels if they cannot deliver enormous votes from their own region of Nigeria to support Muhammadu Buhari if APC picks him as their presidential candidate for 2015. The voters of the South-West and core North will decide the next occupant of the Aso Rock villa in 2015 in a free, fair, credible and transparent presidential election in Nigeria. Time only will tell. #EveryPoliticsIsLocalAndItIsAlsoAGameOfNumbers -
