@akpoghishu@David_Ornstein@TheAthleticFC When you talk about man u rivals in English football it's not with Chelsea, it has always been btw city and Liverpool and leeds, we've always done cool business with Chelsea, it's just the fanbase of both clubs that see themselves as rivals

PO and myself did not even discuss this but this was exactly my answer in my interview on my pinned tweet when I was asked about INEC
This interview was done on his recent trip to the U.S.
Haven't seen the full interview, but I feel like people are misunderstanding Datti's words (the sympathy part). We may disagree on this, but over time, I've come to realise that Datti often struggles with correct word usage and appliance.
Yes, it's true that 3 prominent northern politicians turned down the offer to be PO's running mate in 2023. Kwankwaso was one of them.
The part he left unsaid due to the sensitivity of it is his belief that the reasons mostly bordered around PO being an Igbo man. That's left to be argued, but that's the part that drew the "sympathy" that he referred to, and what made him accept PO's offer because he believes that no Nigeriam should be profiled just based on their ethnicity.
Mind you, Datti was always PO's first choice. However, the powerbrokers around him wanted a merger with a more household named Northern politicians to boost the ticket's chances.
I think the reason he wanted Datti from the get-go was because he overestimated how far Nigerians were willing to go to protect their votes. He knew he had what it took to win all by himself and that his voters would do their part.
That was a costly miscalculation, one that I'd have you know that Datti understands completely; reason he was the first to suggest Kwankwaso and NER to him this time around
Also, the reason BATIKU folks are attacking PO with everything they've got currently is because they know the tide has shifted. The younger Northern powerbrokers have decided that they've given kachalla enough. They're aware that there are strong northern politicians who have come to trust PO over the last 4 years and unanimously agree that it's time for healing.
That's what Kwankwaso was referring to when he talked about consulting with the leaders in the North before accepting to be PO's running mate.
