There is no any Politician that's national Champion on his own, Buhari was regional Champion before joining other forces to score some votes from SW and win the 2015 elections, and up to now there's no one in the whole country that enjoys supports akin to his.
Even Atiku that's seen as National Champion today (by his supporters) is just an Adamawa Champion, he was only able to garner just not more than 52% in the last Election in his Constituency, Adamawa. What really works in Nigerian politics is strong Party, no matter who you are if you belong to a strong party with incumbent leaders you can get huge Support and votes in an election.
Nigerian Presidential CandidatesEven late 'Yardua was not known nationally when he defeated Buhari in 2007, but he emerged victorious due to the strength, vigour and structure of his Party. So If anyone thinks he is widely accepted by all in the country, let him try new party with no incumbent Governors, Reps and Senators .
We don't have national Champion now, but regional. National election is won with regional supports and strong forces from outside our locality.
