Look at CORRUPTION at an unprecedented level below; Do Nigerians have shame? This is under Gej's watch.
Four clubs involved in two play-off matches that ended 79-0 and 67-0 respectively - a total of 146 goals - have been suspended in Nigeria.

Mr know all, did Democrats conduct any presidential primary during last election? If yes, Obama vs who? Parties in USA has long realised the damage primary elections causes incumbent President hence they stopped it.

Afam4eva: PDP must not be allowed to tow the path of ACN. The traditional of conducting primaries must be maintained.

And who will stop them? People like you who do not join any Party or get involved only to say you are PDP today, APC tomorrow and APGA Saturday or whichever way the wind blows you? Is it fence-sitters who tell us daily "they are all the same" yet want the right to comment on the internal conducts of Parties they don't even believe in joining that will stop Anenih? No. It is fellow PDP stakeholders who can stop Anenih if they want.

At intra-Party level, the general public has no choice but to butt out. It is for Anenih and his camp to try it and for others to resist them or agree with them. As long as the 'vanquished' and disenfranchised in the "nest of killers" don't turn their murdering rage on Nigeria, then this issues remain a PDP internal affair ultimately.

People like you saying the PDP "must" conduct Primaries do not know what you are talking about. You are ignorant if you think Parties do anything wrong not hosting Primaries. I would advise you to familiarise yourself with the different legitimate ways with which stakeholders can choose their own representatives. It may be appealing to see Primaries but it is not illegal not to have them.

Looking at issues dispassionately, Anenih can utilise this legitimate loophole, even if Primaries were the way in the past, if he can get enough people on board and if those opposed to his plan are cowered effectively. I suspect this won't be the case so I will personally enjoy the show.

When APC ants hear that GEJ will get automatic ticket in 2015, they pee in their pants. The fear of GEJ indeed is the beginning of wisdom for the APC rats.

Obama was on the ballot in all states, where he ran mostly unopposed. In addition to Obama, the following attained ballot status in at least one state:[14]

Yes he'll skip it.
When I say skip it, I mean facing no real opposition in the primaries.

Billionaires: Why do we need primaries when we already know who can win election for us ?

The objective of Primaries is to ascertain which candidate is more popular within the Party and as I type this, there is no other candidate that can win 2015 for us in PDP than Jonathan Ebele Goodluck Azikiwe (JEGA).

I dont like this idea of no primaries for incumbents, but because of his comparatively better performance, we - coalition of over 22 million Nigerians who voted for GEJ last time, together with those who are enjoying the transformation agenda, are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Ride on Mr. President, you have over 22 million people behind you. No shaking!
