1United1: Good Riddance To A Bad Rubbish! PDP is gradually becoming a dumping ground for failed politicians

APC

Sai Buhari!

Let's Rid Nigeria of Corruption!

soroptimist:

With respect to Tom Ikimi......when push comes to shove and the truth be told about who can make things happen,Tom Ikimi can not affect the political calculation of APC in anyway. he doesn't control any political ecosystem

That he was made a NVC South South was out of deference to him as a Former NRC Chairman and an Elder stateman

And the party's reconciliation moves after the National elections were normal in any party but did you hear that anybody went to beg Ali Modu Sheriff( whose personality gave the party a bad image?)

Infact if i were to be objective,i will even say Ali Modu Sheriff carry a lot of political clout with his exit from the APC,Shekarau is another person i felt for but for the fact that Kwakwanso's presence has wiped off anything Shekarau might leverage on

But people like Tom Ikimi,Femi Fani Kayode,Nuhu Ribadu,Attahiru Bafarawa,Buba Marwa carry no political leverage

ratiken: Why?

As much I am in full support of GEJ till 2019, I am becoming increasingly concerned about the opposition post 2015.

We cannot afford to go back to a one-party system. APC needs to hold forth at least for the sake of Nigeria and not their pockets. They should quit propaganda and build a strong structure towards 2019. They stand a good chance after 2019 and they have 4.5 years to prove they are the change. They should put the self acclaimed kingmakers within them in check to build a robust non-janjaweedian system.

We need APC to keep PDP in check without the negative politicking and propaganda. They should not allow their personal greed override their national essence.

This is coming from a core Pro-GEJ and a Nigerian dream believer.

maestroferddi:

Which serious observer can conclude that Shekarau would be overshadowed by a merely noisy Kwakwanso

Those who can see a little bit ahead know that smart politicians in the north, by their body language, know that there would be no vacancy in Aso Rock next year.


Strategists like Ribadu, Shekarau and even Babangida Aliyu Muazu are gradually positioning themselves for a shot at the presidency in 2019 when the north will likely be producing the president.

Reptyle: Tom Ikimi like Fani Kayode, Ojo Maduekwe and Jerry Gana are very unstable politicians. Their only motivation is power by all means...so no surprise here.

eledacedar:

Please where is that Ojo Maduekwe? The man seems quiet since OBJ left power. I know he's still chopping govt money in one corner share.

Papertrail11:


guy for this statement u just made may God countinue to bless you in 4 folds everyday

soroptimist:

I am done talking about Tom Ikimi................Now that he has left we shall see what his departure will portend for APC

In Kano,Kwakwanso who you called Noisy just conducted and delivered all 44 LGAs including that of Shekarau in the LG elections

The fact is that in the North,anyone remotely associated with GEJ owing to his brand of divisive and ethnoreligious politics are been ostrasized and dealt with like political lepers

And mind you,in the Gubernatorial elections up North,you might witness a semblance of competition amongst the contestants and parties but in the Presidential,it will be a Tsunami against PDP

Ribadu who lost even his polling booth when he contested for the Presidency does not have the clout to deliver any political bloc for anybody....even if he is eventually foisted and forced on Adamawa PDP for the forthcoming Guber elections,it will not be because he his popular or has any election winning machinery or structure but it will be as a result of imposition from above,which in itself can backfire

Ribadu as much as we all liked him was a media assisted creature and only admired amongst the elites and youths in the southern part of the Nation,the Talakawas in the North hold Ribadu,Shekarau in utter disdain because they believe they were used to spoil Buhar's chance

Muazu Babangida is highly loathed presently in Niger State to the extent that they call him a Bill Board Governor.....he has offended most of the powers-that be and his performance is not so stellar and they are waiting to extract a pound of flesh from him....he was lucky not to have defected to APC as Nyako's treatment would have been meted out on him

Otu nne gi ooo

maestroferddi:

Did Shekarau not beat him silly even when he had the power of incumbency? Ask any Kano man and he would tell you that Jonathan executed a masterstroke by getting Shekarau on board his government/PDP

I doubt whether you are privy to the just concluded Kano PDP state congress. I am sure you would have changed your assumption of who wields influence on the Talakawas if you had witnessed the revival of PDP in the state as attested by the turnout.

Nuhu Ribadu is a governor in waiting. Forget the seeming squabble among the aspirants. They already know the anointed candidate but are merely horse-trading to get a good deal for themselves. Let's see who the APC will present that can muster the clout to upset the apple cart

Babangida Muazu, a smart and calculating politician who had the presence of mind to scale the booby trap that consumed Murtala Nyarko and left the likes of Kawu Baraje, Bukola Saraki, Rotimi Amaechi and others presently marooned in political wilderness.

Need I say more?

Goddex: [size=16pt]No well-meaning Nigerian should remain in the APC.

You made the best decision uncle Ikimi. Like Ribadu and many others, I hope to see you join hands with President Jonathan to move the country forward.

1United1: Good Riddance To A Bad Rubbish! PDP is gradually becoming a dumping ground for failed politicians

APC

Sai Buhari!

Let's Rid Nigeria of Corruption!

Iluvberem: Apc is a sinking ship

Sinking faster than titanic

While
With the heart of grieve their trolls are posting their failure on nairaland

...or an Amaechi who has defied all odds and political landmines erected for him from the Supreme Court judgement about his election or the 24 House of Assembly members who defected with him to APC that you'd say is without support?

ElFenomeno1:

Has it been confirmed that he is defecting to PDP?

soroptimist:


Shekarau owes whatever he is politically today to the Buhari phenomenon which has been hovering over the Northern part of the country since 2003 and that was what put him into power.

Shekarau was plucked from obscurity having just retired as a Perm Sec by Buhari who probably was swayed by his eloquence( give that to him)

He was lucky to get a 2nd term due to the religious slant he inputted against the PDP candidate

In the core North then,one of the easiest way to win elections is to brand PDP a party for kafirs,a message which always resonated well with the barely literate folks.....

The same tactics was what Ali Modu Sheriff and Yarima Bakura used in Borno and Zamfara

Shekarau's clout towards the end of his tenure was demystified owing to his rebellion against Gen Buhari as he was discovered to be a mole working for the PDP to divide the Northern votes

He was punished by Kano electorates who refused to elect his candidate Sagir Takai and due to the fact that CPC was formed barely 5months to the elections,Rabiu Musa Kwakwanso rode on the split in ANPP and CPC to score a victory

The resurgence you alluded to in PDP Kano Chapter Congress is a local affair largely due to the agglomeration of Shekarau,Abacha,Mohammed structure.....I expect the State Guber election to be tight if and only if Mohammed Abacha is handed the ticket but report says Shekarau is still positioning his boy Sagir Takai to get the PDP ticket with his closeness to Abuja now......and i expect an earthquake either way if Abacha dont get the ticket as promised by GEJ

Abacha getting the ticket means the political eclipse of Shekarau because the Governor will automatically become the party leader and will reserve the right to nominate people into positions both state and national

Whatever you see that is happening in all the states in the North be they in PDP will not rub off positively on GEJ....who is a marked man politically up North

So you too ask any Kanawa if Shekarau having fallen from grace to grass and have gone to join the party which he villified as coven of the unbelievers( Kafirs) to the utter disappointment of his followers can deliver Kano to GEJ

Ribadu even if he becomes a Governor does not negate my point that he doesn't have the clout to deliver a political bloc like a state to PDP,PDP just want to use Ribadu's famed integrity to shore up its image. PDP really can do without Ribadu

Muazu Babangida is all noise and no spine,Nigerlites are waiting for his tenure to end before conscripting him to the dustbin of political irrelevance

Which Bobby trap consumed Kawu-Baraje,Saraki or Amaechi? is it Saraki who still control his political territory 100% with the Governor,All LG Chairmen,Councillors that has been consumed ? or an Amaechi who has defied all odds and political landmines erected for him from the Supreme Court judgement about his election or the 24 House of Assembly members who defected with him to APC that you'd say is without support?

Need you say more?? please say no more!

birdman:

I dont think Ikimi ever switched allegiance to APC. His APC compadres have always been wary of him as a mole. I wont be surprised to see him back in PDP in the near future

kernel504:

Am not a partisan person, but an irrelevant person can't be going for the post of national chairman of APC. He is a super weight politician, please, google "Ikimi birthday", you will see all Nigerian elite gathered to celebrate him.

farem: Tinubu's political sagacity has kept PDP moles in APC redundant and frustrated! They have no option but to go out; likes of Shettima and Ikimi.
You need Tinubus to deflate PDP's strategies and to really have real opposition in Nigeria. No offence
