I see Nigeria falling.....GOD FORBIDS.....but with this our mentality...well. Have u ever heard of parties merge before? It's only a coaltion of parties, and that is paramount to PALAMENTRY system like Tafawa and Azikwe. Merging means getting power is supeerior to their ideology..




besides CAN SOMEONE TELL me the DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PDP and the REST assuming u replaced those politicians with INNOCENT BABIES?

That implies that they dont have ideologies like socialism, conservatism, communism, liberalism. Democracy is no longer an ideology since we are already pratising it and all parties arePROGRESSIVE............

pdp, apc, acn, cpc, etc are all the same thing, there is no difference. after FG lagos state government controls the highest resources and capital, but can one in sincerity say that the so called development we see in Lagos equates to the capital resources that the state has generates since 1999, hell no.
the real issue is that no matter what u want to insinate acn, cpc is not different from pdp

the scenario i see is that since it is still 2 yrs to next election, they may play into the hand of the president, he may decide against runing and bring out a radical, mean, steel no nonsense candidate someone with ( ribadu type of attitude during obj era) and use the incumbency power to make him president. Nigeria needs a leader in the mold of castro, chavezwho will be for the down troden masses of Nigeria not all these evil politicians we have around. name meone of these polticians with the pple concern at heart, the only one i see is someone like oshiomole, maybe akpabio, mimiko all the others dont care for the suffering masses. take for example tinubu/fashola policy has never meant well for the down troden man only 4 the rich and powerful.

Ok, even if they are all the same. We see what cpc, and ACN has done in their respective states vs pdp. Sir, I ask you, what has pdp done. At the state level these parties have performed better than pdp since they held power in 2003. I will take my chances with APC. The odds are better. I don't think you can win the election with this type of strategy. PDP was given a last chance, and they f*#ked it up. What has PDP done for the down trodden? They stole their pensions. Now the down trodden are dying everyday. No food to eat. If they complain, they get killed. What PDP again? No salary for the people who work for PDP led states.

2mch: PDP goons are highly desperate ans scared on this thread. The new tactic is to say APC and PDP are now the same. So we might as well vote PDP. Well, we tried PDP, nothing to show for it. Only poverty, No infrastructure, no adequate educational standard, zero healthcare, zero security. All those funds, looted. Even pensions. What do we call PDP? The most lecherous and poisonous party. Now we will try APC and see the difference. Under Buhari, I think they will perform significantly better. And all those looters over the years have a lot to be afraid of. Including Jonathan. Once Buhari is in, OBJ, Jonathan the 40laptops will end up in jail.hahahahahahaha. We are ready to change Nigeria in 2015. Nothing can stop this hurricane. I predict $100 trillion being recovered.

My guy, their fear is palpable. They all reek of it. Their desperate lie that APC is the same as the PDP can only fool intellectually lazy Nairalanders who validate the notion that the black man does not like to read. I urge Nairalanders to leave their comfort zone and look around for information and opinions about this merger. One thing that will be noted quickly is that a lot of intelligent Nigerians, from every corner of Nigeria, are very excited about the APC. Clannish and bigoted folks can continue to fool themselves because they can never rise above primordial and primitive sentiments. You are right we are ready to change and will change Nigeria in 2015. Losers ready to endure with mediocrity via blindly pandering to ethnic jingoism , while the world leaves us behind, will have nowhere to hide when the PDP is soundly defeated in 2015.

APC, A Pill Nigerians Must Swallow By Lauretta Onochie
Posted: February 9, 2013 - 03:58
By Lauretta Onochie
Many years ago, before the advent of Paracetamol, APC was the medicine for headache, stomachache and indeed, all aches and pains. Today Nigeria has a headache, a bellyache and all known and unknown aches a d pains. The good news is that we know the cause of most of these aches. Diagnosis? Corruption and the poor leadership of the PDP! But it looks like the good old tablet, APC is back in Nigeria; not in chemists and pharmacies, but as a political conglomeration that promises to heal Nigeria of many of her aches and pains, commonly known as PDP wahala. It is the ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS (APC).

Hear them, "We resolve to form a political party committed to the principles of internal democracy, focused on serious issues of concern to OUR PEOPLE, determined to bring corruption and insecurity to an end, determined to grow our economy and create jobs in their millions through education, housing, agriculture, industrial growth etc, and stop the increasing mood of despair and hopelessness among OUR PEOPLE.” In one short sentence, they used 'Our people' twice... Yet, Nigerians are sceptical about APC and their real intentions.

Nigeria is a nation where different groups of people in leadership have come to promise us heaven on earth, only to turn around to confine us to hell by impoverishing us the more. The present reality is the Peoples Democratic Party PDP. These people, since 1999, have made millionaires out of their immediate families and friends. That has also changed. They began to make billionaires out of their cronies and now, we are at a stage where many suspect that there might be more Dollars in Nigeria than in America as they continue to make 'Dollarnaires' out of their close associates.

Nigerians have met disappointments at every turn of their recent political history. Where we have been promised bread, we got stones and where we were promised soup, sludge was forced down our throats. Its all too recent and still raw as we all are now choking from air pollution, not only from the fumes from our electric-generating sets but from the corrosive materials in the breathe of fresh air we were promised by the current ruling party and its arrowhead of corruption, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.

We, as a people have come to the stage where we lost all hopes in our leaders and consequently, in our nation. They have cheated us out of our national inheritance. They have run down our national infrastructures and left them in their dilapidated states. Examples are our roads and hospitals. They have, through their greed reduced our life expectancies to 47 and 45 respectively for men and women. They have made us look small among the comity of nations. We have become a people who are no longer warmly welcomed to other nations. Close to home, some African nations have been brave to voice the fact that we are bad news. Our leaders have become the butt of jokes as they go around the globe parading ignorance.

The Nigerian print and electronic media mostly became instruments of misinformation for peddling lies, innuendoes, gossips and propaganda in favour of those who use our collective wealth to suppress the truth. And then the Social Media emerged! Subdued Nigerians found a live wire. Many began joining the social network such as Twitter and Facebook. Some went in with their body, soul and spirit. Others went in slowly and cautiously. And then, it exploded! Nigerians threw caution to the wind, taking the bull by the horn. They went for the jugular, chocking the day light out of the present inept, corrupt and clueless government of President Jonathan. Nigerians on the Social media used it to their maximum benefit, exposing the corruption, ineptitude, incompetence and the waste that were and are still the hallmark of this sick government.

[b]But this government, this sick government of President Jonathan still refuses medication. It struggles on, refusing to see that the people they asked to serve needed to be served. This sick government that refused to take all prescribed medications devised means of avoiding contact with Nigerians for fear of being lynched by angry Nigerians. Private jets became the new means of mass transit for our corrupt leaders and their friends, along with their religious associates. Nigeria's Independent celebration events which we looked forward to as children in Nigeria, became a private affair. Children in our nation have not been given the opportunity, even on children's day to interact with the man who decides on their behalf.

The new found confidence of Nigerians, armed with the deluge of authenticated data on the corrupt activities of the present administration of President Jonathan, gave wings to the courageous showings of the #OccupyNigeria Movement a year ago. That became the first arrow shot in recent times by the Nigerian people at their ignoble leaders to put them on notice that it would no longer be business as usual. A lot more corruption has been unearthed and exposed since then and all we hear from them are denials, denials and more denials. The complicity of our National assembly is not in doubt neither is the collusion of our judiciary. It is common knowledge that people, (yes they are Nigerians), are eager to keep the Boko Haram crises going because of the huge gains from the unaccountable security votes for that region. "Vampires" I call them. Those who flourish and bask in the blood of others are called vampires.[/b]

Nigerians, ordinary Nigerians are therefore left to their own devices as unemployment soars. Lynching popularly known as jungle-justice and mass raping have become popular in a nation that has lost her morals and community spirit. Campus prostitution, armed robbery, kidnapping, human-trafficking fraud and scamming etc are now ways of earning a living in a nation blessed with huge natural a d human resources.

Therefore, I must say that I clearly understand the apathy, suspicion, scepticism and distrust with which some of us view APC, the soup-pot or what some of us call a collection of strange bed-fellows. After all, some of these apothecaries who prepared this APC, have been in the forefront of the Nigerian politics for decades and have not been part of the solution, to say the least. However, we must look beyond the people who are the principal players in APC now. If one was drowning, and someone threw him a life line, he would grab it and ask questions later about the identity of the life saver. Our nation is sinking. We have no time to dilly-dally. Our problem had been that we did not have a united opposition in our nation that was proactive. Now we do. One has presented itself.

[b]A party like this APC is what many of us have been campaigning for. There is no way we are going to have an opposition that is led by people we do not know. Nigerians and indeed the world, are predisposed to starting from the known to the unknown. Many people may not know how tediously many of our well meaning youth have worked to build a solid opposition, but were not taken seriously because they are not known. This is a chance Nigerians must take with both hands and firmly plant their feet on. APC is made up of the known at the present but unless we all join at this its inception, the unknown would remain in the background.

I therefore, appeal to Nigerians, especially our youth population, to join, no, to invade this APC. Its only when we are in that we can have a say from the beginning and make the necessary changes like standing against god-fatherism, mediocrity, tribalism, nepotism and other vices. Once we allow them become a cabal, we would have ourselves to blame.

Nigeria was standing between the devil and the deep blue sea and suddenly, a ship appears out of the deep blue sea. This may be our last chance to recover our nation by ourselves through democratic means. It is not going to be easy-sailing but we are the ones that must make the difference. When the known leaders begin to show self interests, we the unknown Nigerians in APC would be the ones to keep them in check and insist on what we want for our nation or push then aside. Nigerians must arise and hijack this party for their benefit. With PDP, we are outsiders. We don't want to be outsiders with APC too.

Suddenly, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.[/b]

i will also like to use this medium to appeal to fellow young people, let us not fold our hands, like before, we can by doing our little in ensuring change comes to this nation, we must take our destiny in our hands not sitting idlly while evil, wicked and gluttinous men run the state apparatus and waste our commonwealth. we must aspire, desire and act to bring about positive changes, and i trully believe yes we can.....

Thank you very much sir !!! Please pay no mind to the "they are all the same" apostles of doom-and-gloom who are using that vacuous and false utterance, not borne out by events on ground, to mask how they are committed to the PDP because of clannish, sentimental, ethnic and religious bias. Look around you and see what intelligent, detribalised and exposed Nigerians, from all corners of our Nation, are saying about the APC. Not many are peddling the redundant "they are the same" crap that has now become a staple diet on this forum. All this crap of "the devil you know" to plead PDP's case just validates Einsteins summation that "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results".

New Dawn By Hannatu Musawa
Posted: February 9, 2013 - 03:51


Hannatu Musawa

Columnist: Hannatu Musawa
February 6, 2013 was a magnificent day for Nigeria. As the sun rose over the eventful day, Nigerians all over the world celebrated the thrashing our Super Eagles gave Mali’s Les Aigles to reach the final of the African Cup of Nations in South Africa. But prosperity was not done with us, for as the jubilations rang out, news that several of our most significant opposition political parties, including the All Nigeria Peoples Party, Action Congress of Nigeria, Congress for Progressive Change, and the All Progressive Grand Alliance had merged to form one party gave cause for much more celebration. As the news of the newly formed All Progressive Congress trickled in, the social networks went crazy. Nigerians young and old; far and wide expressed their delight at the possibility of this new coalition party. Opposition victories have been hard to come by in the last decade and this new coalition not only gives the vast majority of worn-out Nigerians a tremendous sense of achievement, it gives millions of people new hope that their cause was right and new determination that change will finally show its face in Nigeria.

For many of us, this week has been a time to be proud; a time for reflection on the possibility of a new dawn, a time where our country has the chance to sow the seed of success in overcoming the great turmoil that our electoral and political process has thus far represented. Now, as Nigerians look towards 2015, it is beginning to look like we may be standing at the beginning of a new chapter in our history; one that will hopefully be defined by a prosperous democracy incontrovertibly built upon the will of the people.

Nigerians have really been put through the ringer. Apart from dealing with the dearth of security, employment, health care, education, striving to provide for our families and rising crime to name a few, we have been lumbered with a political leadership that is solely focused on personal interests rather than on solving our widespread problems. And even though there are over one million and ninety nine thousand things that Nigerians would ideally like to see done differently, the one general consensus of what people want right now seems to be a change of government.

[b]A very smart man known as Albert Einstein once described insanity as ‘doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.’ It would be difficult not to agree with him. If having the same party in power since 1999 translates into a reality where we still have no stable electricity, no unity, no security, no peace, no job opportunities, no development and hardly anything good, then how on earth can anyone expect a different result in terms of the way the country is governed if the same party keeps hoisting itself into power? It would naturally follow that in order for our life to change from the nightmare we are living, into a more structured dream, we must change; the country must change and government must change. And for the first time in a very long time, a vehicle with the ability to translate that nightmare into a dream and then into reality is being presented to Nigerians. That vehicle is this newly formed united merger.

However, now that the first leg of the task has been achieved, this marks the point at which the real work needs to be done. To consolidate the exceptional success that the merger represents, the APC must now pass the crucial test without allowing the demons of the past to re-emerge. The demons which defy stepping up to the challenge of putting personal interest aside in order for the party to operate in the interest of all the people of this nation. The party must set the objective of making Nigeria a place liveable for the right of the many. The coalition must work in partnership with each other to create a dynamic, broad and competitive platform for progressives, for minorities, for women, for children, for the poor and for every interest. The party must be fashioned as an entity that seeks to restore trust in Nigerian politics, cleanse Nigerian politics and decentralizes it so that people can once again have hope that politics can be about the service to the public.[/b]

The APC should be a party entrenched with solid ideals; the ideals of integrity, impartiality, unity, honesty and development. And it should also be a party equipped with the valour to welcome new ideas required to make those standards a reality for Nigerians; a party of practical process in pursuit of a gallant cause and the solemn obligation to act accountably, transparently, and impartially. These should be at the core of APC’s intention for Nigeria.

True democracy has never been a concrete box that isolates the political leadership from the people. And if it’s true democracy we are interested in, then the party leadership must embrace that fact. Leaders of APC have the obligation to use their positions of power to earn the people’s trust because that is what will primarily impact the public’s confidence in the party. As the governors and leaders of the opposition gathered in front of the residence of the Lagos State Governor to announce the merger, they must know all too well the enormous responsibility that they have undertaken and the great trust that the Nigerian people may be willing to place in them. More than anyone, the leaders of the APC know well the change that Nigeria desperately needs. They know that this country is anxious to step away from its past, desperate to get those things done that need doing for the future.

No less important, the parties that have come together to form the APC must each individually get their acts together. The ongoing internal wrangling and court cases that litter the corridors of most of the opposition parties have to stop with immediate effect. If the APC is to have a chance of success and have a chance of being inclusive and nonpartisan in its internal decision making, then the different entities that form it must find a way of letting bygones be bygones, cooperating and actively seeking consensus through compromise and dialogue. Each of these parties is responsible for cooperating fully with the ideal and unity necessary to establish and promote the APC.

Let me state a simple truth: public faith in the political process is extremely low. Many people are still pessimistic, especially given the fact that a number of the strong players in the new coalition were once part of past governments. Part of the APC’s challenge is to earn the trust of the people by avoiding political trickery, standing up to the PDP, abstaining from inflammatory behavior, working together and convincing the public that the party really is ready to be the fresh new change Nigeria needs despite some of the personalities that make up the party.

If managed well, the APC has the ability to bring Nigeria together once again, to unite people as one nation in which our hopes for Nigeria corresponds with a sense of consideration, decorum and responsibility. Let us be hopeful and optimistic about this chance. One can only shape the opposition and make it what they need it to be when they participate in the process.

As Nigeria prepares to embark on this new chapter in its political life, one element of change seems to rise above all others in terms of importance: specifically the need for our politicians to show love for Nigeria. Love for Nigeria means putting public interests above personal interests. It means doing everything possible to keep partisan politics fair and clean. Love for Nigeria is not about the words that politicians speak but about their actions. It’s about putting nation building above everything else. Leaders of APC must display their love for Nigeria.

With 2015 approaching, we have a chance to start a new chapter, to put aside individual and party interests, to insist on accountability from the political class. More than anything, we should all accept individual responsibility for making this happen because only individual Nigerians putting Nigeria’s interests first can build the just, democratic society that will make present and future generations of Nigerians justifiably proud. As this new dawn breaks, the APC is giving Nigerians a platform to do just that.

February 6, 2013 truly was a magnificent day for Nigeria and as we keep our eye on the making sure the APC does right by us, let us also keep our fingers crossed for the success of our Eagles in the African Cup of Nations.

now lets go into analysis, the only acn governor that has greatly impacted on his people is oshiomole of edo, fashola of lagos has not touched the lives of ordinary lagosians his policies has favoured the rich and upper class, for other southwest governor mimiko is effecting changes a bit and fayemi of ekiti, other acn govs are bellow par. akpabio the best in south south is pdp, amechi is trying a bit and also peter obi has effected changes a bit. for the north suffice me to say there is no governor that has performed any bit in the whole of north, none.

i said before what Nigeria needs is a leader in the mold of castro, hugo chavez who will totally overhaul the status quo whose only concern will be hw to change the lives of the common down troden man on the street so that when the say that Nigerias economic growth is 8% or that nigeria has made $100 billion from oil the common man will nod in agreement because he has seen it affect his living condition.

I am a woman. However, PDP has had 12years(by 2015) to prove themselves. In that 12years, they have proven that all they can do is steal, kill and suppress Nigerians rights. 12years is too much and our eyes have opened. No one is ready to continue this madness. The only time we have a voice is during election, and we will shout that voice this time around. PDP must go, for Nigeria to move forward. They are killing us everyday! Death to PDP. It will be on record that we chased a non performing party out. Other's coming in the future will sit tight. I want to be proud of my country, I am tired of making excuses. The duty is our to make a change, and in 2015 I think we are ready to move Nigeria forward. I also want to see those who have stolen for 12years in jail. I hope the APC can make that possible. Our cunny cunny ways have never worked for us, now it is time to try something else. It is tiring to see how lowly we are regarded outside of the country. If we change our country, our continent will change. I want to see that in my lifetime. This slavery has to end.

can you honestly say you left the comfort of your house and travelled all the way to a cpc controlled state, stayed and evaluated the level of development there compared to when a pdp govt was in place. Its alright to criticize but its better to do so with facts, not cool being an armchair critic at all.
In my opinion, I still don't trust politicians and their shenanigans and I dare say the APC will need these 12 PDP governors to donate some stolen resources to their 2015 campaign resulting in messiahs with soiled hands. What's the use at the end of the day ?

Politic is a game of number, and the common saying is that there is no permanent friend or enemy in politic. Therefore, if some govs want to go to APC, they will only serve as tool of implementing APC positive agenda.

Your analysis is on point.

1) In Lagos state for instance, as a civil servant, tax is been deducted from your salary before it gets to u every month. As a business owner, LASAA comes to ur office to charge you an annual sum based on how big your signpost is - big signpost means high tax.

Yet, Fashola constructed the Admiralty bridge, and said we should pay toll fees which we've been paying. In 2010, the monthly internally generated revenue was 25bn. God knows how much the IGR is at the moment cos Lagos and Nairobi are top choice cities for foreign investors in Africa. Multiply the IGR by 12months, u'd get 300bn. Multipy that by 4yrs and u'd have nothing less that 1.2 trillion. Now let the ACN goons tell me what Fashola has done with that money.

2) During the election, he had a meeting with the Okada men, told them to vote for him and gave them free helmets. Now he's banned 'em. The hurtful truth is that he's imported a new set of bikes for Lagos state that's he's gonna give-out soon.

3) His commissioner would just enter a large market and once the place's dirty, he'd close the market. The last market that was closed had to pay 65million before it was opened. He has closed another market now, wants them to pay before its opened. These market men and women have kids and issues, yet he turned a blind eye.

4) He's beautifying Lagos without 'beautifying' the lives of the poor. The people are suffering but he wants to make Lagos a small London.

Those praising these dudes aint in the scene of the movie. Armchair fans!

Both parties are thieves! Infact some PDP govs are better than these APC blokes.

Thank you my brother. Fash is just an orator that's serving the purpose of the rich. He clamping down on the poor big-time.

9icest: I think GEJ really needs to WAKE up, and REALLY address the REAL problems of Nigeria, and stop playing POLITICS with his country people....
Everyone is deserting this guys....The few sticking around him, are doing so because they know they have no more hope of future appointment, and hes mainly their life saver and nothing more, but a means to an end for them.

Bros, I owe you a drink. Well said.

tatosh: If PDP members who are naturally corrupt start running to APC, that rubbishes the whole idea of a 'progressive congress'. I believe the APC should have values which they should stick to not just letting any aggrieved phool from PDP come to join them

apc wil crumble after electing its presidential candidate.

Bliss4Lyfe: Wat is holding dem? However, dey did have to surrender the Gov Office of the PDP Party.(For a quick bye-election)

Really? Did that one in Abia or the in-law of Yar Adua from Bauchi stood down for a bye election when they left PPA and ANPP respectively to join PDP or you chose to have a selective memory?

APC has started spreading lies about to cause fear in the enemies camp.nice tactics

unforgiven: The new party APC has no GRAND plan except to oust PDP.

Which grand plan pass ousting PDP?

No bi dis same Fashakin dey blow grammar, dey tell us say: PDP is full of KIlLERS AND THIEVES; na im dey solicit their core members (Governors) now, say APC get 'large Heart'!!!

Hehehehehe.. BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES (not all of them sha).

Maybe, they had planned to pick out the non killers from among the PDP killer nest using an instrument you never heard of, afterall you are quite okay with the killers statu quo at the moment, but problem if they leave the nest.

black_beau: APC has started spreading lies about to cause fear in the enemies camp.nice tactics

They don't need to spread fear, Nigerian politics is like the market investment, you instinctively goes where the dividend pays better irrespective of your statu, even GEJ wouldn't mind jumping out first, if it serves his personal goal and wil have a ready made explanation for it.
All you need to do is to compare and contrast El Rufai of 2006 with El Rufai of 2013, or maybe Reuben Abati of 24 months ago with Abati of 2013. That the way it is with Nigeria and their home made democracy, political party is simply a platform and nothing else.

tiwasiaife: apc wil crumble after electing its presidential candidate.

Then you have to wait till eternity because they don't elect people, they select them.

Gbawe:

You speak the truth even as it will not be accepted by many here who clannishly support GEJ automatically, over every issue, while also automatically vilifying others who act against GEJ without a care for equity and fairness. They are not even fair-minded enough to see the treachery they are backing. If a moderate like Aliyu leaves the PDP after GEJ declares his ambition, why would any fair minded person not rise above bigotry, sentiments and bias to understand his reason? Aliyu sacrificed , even going against his political father, i.e IBB, to deliver the delegate votes that defeated the Northern consensus candidate (Atiku) to get the ball rolling for GEJ.

Others like Yuguda and Lamido did same because GEJ pledged to serve only a term. These men all thought he would keep to this pledge and then leave the path open for their own Presidential ambition. What manner of clannishly unfair minds will some have been cursed if they can then not understand that many Governors would rather leave than support the treachery of GEJ? Fair is fair in life and good is good. No manner of ethnic or sectional affiliation should blind a decent person to that. Yet it is a shame bigotry is not allowing some to see that.

GEJ, towards the end, and if he persists, will have the support of only treacherous, unprincipled mercenaries and his bigoted kinsmen dedicated to supporting him blindly regardless of the wrong he has done that has seen him lose the goodwill of Nigerians and become isolated from his political allies. Any person with any sense of fairness will agree it only right for folks to resent and desert unprincipled users. Yet, I know many clannish and bigoted Nairalandres will make this about the Governors and heap scorn and insult on them. They will never note what GEJ has done treacherously and offensively to now leave him isolated by friends and foes alike.

Totally agreed with you. Some of these northern governors risked the anger of their people to support Jonathan with promise that he will serve one term only and went ahead and rig out Buhari in their various enclaves. If they join the other gravy train, that is no big brainer and I won't be surprise too if they forget with a different version of promise and stay put. This is Nigeria. Remember IBB is still with the PDP after what they did to him, Atiku too came back after they cleaned the gutter with him, as Nigerian power grabbers don't do principle.

alliance of evil forces

ayox2003:

They have a grand plan: To hold on to power as long as PDP.

U'll see that those dudes are gonna trump PDP as the largest party in Africa cos Buhari would own the North; Tinubu will own South West and Okorocha will own the East.

A night at a few hotels on the Island would open your eyes. See 'em sealing deals, both APC and PDP. Shior.

And y'all hailing Fashola, his can of worms, very soon, would open



Frawzey

rareman: alliance of evil forces

Where can I find the alliance of the angelic forces?

djon78:


now lets go into analysis, the only acn governor that has greatly impacted on his people is oshiomole of edo, fashola of lagos has not touched the lives of ordinary lagosians his policies has favoured the rich and upper class, for other southwest governor mimiko is effecting changes a bit and fayemi of ekiti, other acn govs are bellow par. akpabio the best in south south is pdp, amechi is trying a bit and also peter obi has effected changes a bit. for the north suffice me to say there is no governor that has performed any bit in the whole of north, none.

i said before what Nigeria needs is a leader in the mold of castro, hugo chavez who will totally overhaul the status quo whose only concern will be hw to change the lives of the common down troden man on the street so that when the say that Nigerias economic growth is 8% or that nigeria has made $100 billion from oil the common man will nod in agreement because he has seen it affect his living condition.

Dear Analyser,
Can you analyse the Abia one for me? I can't seem to analyse the analysis there.

MY HUMBLE ADVICE IS FOR PDP TO MERG WITH INEC



That only will guarantee their winning

But right from the time i started voting ... I only vote for whom i think will perfom better,not fucking party.
Khai d future for this country can only be seen by microscope, imagine all the virus infected Fidifi are going to infect APC

How I wish this new party can end the grip of PDP on Nigerians.

Aggrippa:

Lol. Maybe you should read my post again.

If the new party will have a strong manifesto that will be binding on all its members, they can admit the 12 Governors provided they will follow the underlying principles of the party. . . . . E.g If it is the policy of the new party to provide free education, all the new intakes must immediately imbibe the policy in their respective states.

ayox2003: Y'all now see that PDP aint the problem? These dudes are friends.

Ajimobi was a PDP senator before he joined ANPP and now he's an ACN governor.

APC or PDP, the better candidate would have my vote.



Frawzey

Hey sorry where did you get that trash you type up there about Ajimobi from? He has never be a PDP member and will never be. Are you high on cocoyam leave? Ajimobi was once a Senator under AD so get your fact right.
