chukwudi44:

i asked you a question which yo did not answer? why did pdp win the prsidential polls in the state when they are all in the opposition? How come the egon militia is fighting an APC governor when there are all in the same party

payless:

Exactly! But you cannot explain facts to these militants and creek boys we have on nairaland forum. They rather believe in their own spin. They once told us Buhari was behind Boka Haram but now they want us to believe these governors are behind Boko Haram. They are bunch of confused clowns. Jonathan is going down and these militants are going down with him.

Bensonn:

i wont tell you this again, PDP is ruling Nassarawa in 2011, and Adamu's senatorial zone is very powerful, so together with adamu's might and the then Governor (who is Adamu's boy) akwe doma who is in PDP, PDP just scrapped through in the election. But now with APC ruling the state under Al-Makura(ta'al) the entire nassarawa state from governor to councillor is APC. Even keffi where adamu hails from, is Apc thorough and thorough. And PDP in the state is totally loyal to adamu in case of who controls the delegates during presidential pdp primaries, now with Adamu at loggerhead with Gej, he (gej) is a no factor even in nassarawa pdp. Even at that nassarawa is now soaked in APC.
Now the eggon part.the ombatse saga is a tribal war not a political one, Almakura is a no factor in that region, the eggon are very loyal to Ewuga not Almakura. Almakura is a muslim and not Eggon while Ewuga is a xtian and an eggon. Eggons are not fighting Almakura. The ombatse ppl are muslims. The xtians in nassarwa are mainly eggons/madas and APC is representing them in the person of Sen ewuga their illustrious son. I tell again dont stay in aba,onitsha or owerri and be beating your chest on what is happenning is nassarawa. As for ur point on benue state, hehehehhehehe i laff in portuguese.

ziccoit:

Most of you people are liers. Why don't you try and face the fact as it is? Have you forgotten how this started? Let me remind you? It was started in 1999 when an agreement was reached in PDP to start rotating power between the South and the North so that there would be peace. In 2007, Ya'adua kicked started the North's turn in fulfillment of the agreement. His 'premature' exit paved way for Mr GEJ to complete what he started with his boss. He was expected to leave so that the North would come onboard only to turn around acted as if there was noting at stake. He purportedly reached another fresh agreement with the Northern governors again to rule for a single term only. Now that he knows power is sweat, he wants to take the Northern leaders for another ride, despite the lackluster performance , and cajole them into running for second term.
Now, how can you blame them for asking Mr GEJ to honour yet another agreement he reached with the Nothern governors 2yrs ago?

roxell120:
ure 100% right.while we igbos nd our yoruba counterparts are busy running our mouths on the internet hausas are busy working out practical things for their interest. u hardly hear an hausa voice on nairaland even if u rain a million abuses on them as regards any issue.but they are more active in projects they set out to do.look at the level they ve reached.a coup in a civil way? time will tell.

drauj: u r ryt my brother. Hausa people understand d leverage they have - votes n others investments. u guys r busy posting online n sharing false in formations. As long as Nigeria is as it is, no president can win elections without the north. up Arewa.

Dee60:

Going down? No way! Bayelsa is still solidly behind him!

Nebeuwa:

Didn't Jonathan win without the North in the last election?

Zikky I am not showing politics of hatred.I am merely poiting out facts.

omenka: The president's Bottom must be smelling like french fries right now. Impeachment looming!

chukwudi44:

Northern party ko southern party ni!! It can be a northern party for all I care.As long as GEJ is contesting on the platform of PDP I will still vote for him.

omonnakoda: Did he? How?

software man:
Unfortunately the same old PDP rotates power between regions via a zoning formula. Indeed the problem the defunct PDP is facing right now is as a result of a certain gentleman who wants to renege on a certain agreement he was part of. I can understand that power is sweet to the man who do not want to give it up as it is sweet to the people who wants it back.
The battle between old PDP and new PDP is all about power shift and an agreed zoning formula.

But shouldn't there be honour. Even among thiefs?!

software man:
Infact Jonathan does not need any other region . The votes of the south east and the south south is enough to make him president.
I wonder why he has being running helter skelter since saturday. He does not need the north or any other people for that matter!

chukwudi44:
All he has to do is to continue to impress the SS/SE/MB to continue to retain their support.

chukwudi44:

You mean like the gentleman agreement Gowon reached with Ojukwu @ aburi Ghana

chukwudi44:

Maybe you were in planet mars during the last election when GEJ lost in the northwest and Northeast and yet won the election.

Afolabs101:



All it takes is for a Tambuwal or Lamido to defect to APC and be given the ticket. You might find some PDP Governors doing what Tinubu and Co did to Ribadu in 2011.

@Chukwud144

Mumu as it stands GEJ is already in control of the PDP.That is why the loosers has to storm out of the convention.Mind you it is not forming factions that matter but rather been recognised by INEC.Even if 2 million senators recognise them and INEC does not all their efforts would have been in vain.Just continue fooling yourselves.

omonnakoda: Did he lose?
What do you mean by "LOSE" ? I don't think he lost he got the stipulated 25% perhaps you need to educate yourself better about how our Presidential election works.
The guy said he won WITHOUT the NORTH and that is what I responded to.
It is impossible to become president of Nigeria without getting 25% in at least 7 states in the North GEJ got at least 25% in at 15 states out of 19 so what do you mean by "LOST".??
The question of "winning" a state is not mentioned in our constitution as regards Presidential elections.Either you get 25% or not that is all. Winning only arises at the National level when Total votes are counted So educate yourself better!

Kairoseki77:

Sorry mate. If GEJ can't win the PDP primary, he cannot even run in the general election.

He is finished.

kingoflag: You guys, more than the Ijaws themselves, are the ones that drowned GEJ.

duwdu:

Hmn... Are you saying in your view Gowon did not honor Aburi, therefore Jonathan needs not honor his own agreement? Or that "the gentleman agreement reached at Aburi" was of no consequence?
