kenbee: 1. APGA makeup gave rise to our hope.
2. Soludo entrance in APGA brought glamour, credibility and winning assurance.
3. His disqualification broke millions heart.

Prof. Soludo, we are solidly behind you on this!

cjrane: [size=15pt]OMG, i didn't know Soludo was disqualified on such flimsy baseless accusation! [/size]

0nlytruth: Soludo should fight his disqualification to the highest court in the land. That is what Peter Obi did when he was rigged out by PDP.
In politics you have to fight for your mandate sometimes.
His hardcore followers like myself will NEVER give up on him. NEVER.
Our future is at stake.

Prof Corruption:

It's a lost battle. If he's truly popular and has the financial muscle to fight the main election, all he needs is to take one of the idle parties and popularize it, like Mimiko did in Ondo. But I don't really see him as a serious candidate because that's late now. He should have created a parallel structure by now. He's just wasting his time going to court. He made a huge mistake moving to APGA without securing any commitment from Obi.

0nlytruth:

And who told you that he did not secure any serious commitment from Obi?
The problem with you Nigerians is that you tend to forget too quickly key information pertaining a person.
Soludo is not a political neophyte. He has been into politics right from student union days at the UNN in 1984. He has always been a poltical animal. He is ALSO A FIRST CLASS BRAIN. Combine those two qualities and what you have is a potential political legend.
That people like him are not running Nigeria is a testament to the country's inate self destructive tendencies.

[s]Peter Obi is making the exact same mistake you are making here[/s], and that is to assume that the rest of your opponents are fools.
Well, we shall see.
But this may lead to a loss to Jonathan in 2015. Anambra state is like the engine room of Igbo opinion.
With Rochas in APC, ;Dif Ngige wins Anambra , it is all over for Jonathan in 2015.

Prof Corruption:

Your fears are unfounded. Look at Oshiomole, he's in APC but exercises a largely independent mind. He's a performer too. I have chosen Oshiomole because you wouldn't believe any one cited in SW. Is Rochas also giving Imo's funds to Tinubu? Some of your claims are laughable.

I have read a lot about Ifeanyi Ubah of Labour party and I can say authoritatively he's not fit to rule Anambra. He's a fraud just looking for opportunity to use Anambra to settle his financial woes. Moneybags have taken over PDP and there's no guarantee of something good coming from that end. This year's election is more of funeral than coronation for APGA. Who is that man from APGA to challenge Ngige? They are big nothings!

Ngige has a record that clearly testifies to his ability and from my personal assessment, he has a strength of character.
I am not saying Ngige can deliver because I think so but because he had done so in the past. There's record that speaks for him and for all his grandstanding, Obi actually failed Anambra. If Ngige had been there and continued with his zeal before the court judgement, Anambra would have been radically and pleasantly different from what we have today.

Well, if you think Ngige is not the man, who is better?

Rhino.5dm:


Obi is known by discerning minds to be dexterous and a bigoted fellow from time immemorial. You still remember how he blew a mere state by state assessment by El rufai? That girlish ugly toad can never stand by any commitment.

Austinodark: Ngige came to power thru d backdoor so he can never b trusted

0nlytruth:

What is even more annoying is that A WHOLE RANGE OF IGBO LEADERS WERE BEHIND SOLUDOS MOVE TO APGA.
There were SERIOUS consultations before Soludo acceded to the idea of moving to APGA.
It then means that just Peter Obis interest is about to truncate the interest of the entire Igbo nation.
I honestly don't think this will be allowed to happen.
November is still too far. A day in politics is like one thousand years!
Lets be watching.

berem: You have said it all!!

Sai Ngigi!

Said APC!!

Royal Roy:




Ms. Berem Ngige!!!

berem: You have said it all!!

Sai Ngigi!

Said APC!!

mikeansy: I totally agree with this submission

Police or EFCC can investigate anybody of anything no matter how innocent you are

Everyone must be assumed innocent until proven guilty in the court of law!

APGA can not disqualify people based of EFCC investigation.

This is unacceptable by any standard.

Rhino.5dm:


I hope you guys can pull out this. I believe Soludo shouldn't waste his time in court or seeking for legal redress, rather he should look for a dormant party and play the underdog from there.

james_ibor: Berries, we do not want the Amala People's Congress in the "brain box" of Nigeria but if Soludo fails to secure the ticket, I'll be more than happy to give my vote to Onwa.

0nlytruth:

My concern is that PDP and Jonathan may be planning to rig election to favor PDP in the November elections.
For the sake of our dear sake, we must make sure that they cease and desist from their selfish plans.
I am beginning to reevaluate my support for Jonathan going forward, because he seems to be involved in Soludo's troubles.
Politics is a quid pro quo business. If you support my aspirations, I support yours. Simple.
If you stiffle mine, then I would be very stupid to support yours.
I hope that they find a face saving way to give us Soludo (our true choice for governorship in Anambra state).
They caused this mess, they should fix it!

FreeGlobe:
I for the first time agree with you on nairaland but Soludo will never be the underdog in the election, he currently has the clout to win the Anambra election based on his person and considering the controversy hanging around the neck of Ngige his would be main contender. I think if Soludo makes this move now other than when APGA deals another blow to him in the primaries (assuming he wins the case) he would have more time to consolidate. That is added go the fact that Anambra people who dislike Peter Obi will vote him to punish him and his choice - especially the civil servants who determine Anambra elections unlike the false opinion that it is the uninterested traders

bismarck: The problem in this country is that those who have been prepared for leadership through many years of educational trainning, international exposure and concrete achievements are senselessly schemed out from the electoral process. Else which other aspirants in APGA, PDP or even APC can match half of Soludo- a man who created real opportunities for thousand of jobless youths and hence, millions of families during his time at CBN?
As long as there is no room for independent candidature, Soludo must be allowed to contest in APGA primaries- simple! For how long should we continue to field mediocres? People come here to talk idly about party politics.. One must realize that imposition of candidates at party primaries is the reason for low voter turn-out in most elections and the hence, the rigging nonsense that has become the bane of Nigerian politics. Or how could have a cultist, Evans Bipi become an assemblyman and an old, village thief TA Orji become governor if not for such heartless impositions? Can one in all conscience deny that there aren't persons who are 1 millon X more qualified than these two, in their respective areas before and during elections?

NDI ANAMBRA MUST ENSURE THAT THE RIGHT CANDIDATES EMERGE NOT JUST IN APGA BUT IN ALL THE PARTIES!We must use party primaries to eradicate all these polliticians that have held the state down for so long with nothing concrete to point as achievements: the likes of Peter Obi, Ngige, Andy Uba, et al.

Rhino.5dm:


Bros, I don't give a rat arsss whether we are on the same page or NOT.

Soludo can only come back by doing the following :-

- Withdraw from court and look for a dormant party to pitch his tents

- Sponsor massive propaganda via local outlets like attending local churches, burial ceremonies, naming ceremonies, radio jingles, t.v. adverts clearly bringing in the president and Peter Obi as those against his election.

- Sponsor campaign of calumny against the president and Peter Obi.

- Play the underdog.

Thank me later .

KenGali:

Underdog is a Yoruba Political Strategy which never wins anything, but keeps you in the opposition.
Soludo will play mainstream politics and slug it out with his foes, as well as build bridges with and to interest groups!
You are right to be scared for Ngige, as informed by this your veiled advice for failure. Soludo's comeback is imminent, especially after good assurances to the C-in-C!
The court could just be basically the process for legality

berem: Now, this is wicked! I love this particular idea.
