It could have been a 20milli margin if the goats and cows up north were barred from voting. The margin this time will be like 25mill as the era of free and fair election is here.

Oshiomhole/Rochas or NOTHING! APC can't afford to get this wrong!

Fashola is ostensibly omitted because of the general sensitivity to a Muslim/Muslim ticket.

Amaechi is a rabble-rouser!

Gullible Nigerians will believe anything the same way they believed that Sanusi's brother was named Emir of Kano when PDP agents planted the story in Vanguard a few months ago.

Nwanne, this story is false.

I took a loan to buy my nomination form- Muhammadu Buhari.

The APC on its own bought the nomination form for Buhari. -John Oyegun, APC Chairman.

I personally bought the nomination form for Buhari- Timipre Sylva

we have gathered money to buy Buhari's nomination form- ACF

we will buy Buhari's nomination form- Katsina state govt.

so these pathetic liars want to preside over the affairs of Nigeria.

Ayed44:
Associates of All Progressives Congress, APC leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu are lining up three possible running mates for Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) should the former head of state prevail in the forthcoming presidential nomination convention of the party.

The synergy between Team Buhari and the Tinubu camp was formally brought to public light last Wednesday when many of Tinubu’s political associates, including his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu got prominent presence at Buhari’s public declaration for the presidency in Abuja.

The three prospective running mates, according to Vanguard sources are Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, a former commissioner in Lagos State, Senator Ajayi Borofice presently representing Ondo North in the Senate and Mr. Wale Edun, a former commissioner in Lagos State.

Two other choices in the consideration of Team Buhari, the immediate past governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi and another former governor of Ekiti State, Otunba Niyi Adebayo were said to have been taken off the radar by the Asiwaju forces on account of political differences.

The intrigues in the relationship between Dr. Fayemi and Tinubu reached a crescendo last week when Tinubu absented himself from the commissioning of the Ekiti State Government Liaison House in Lagos.

On the scheduled day of the commissioning, the APC leader was said to have become invisible, sources close to the development told Vanguard, a fact that seemed to underline the increasing political disconnect between the once close men.

The projection of the three men, Borofice, Osinbajo and Edun by the Tinubu camp follows the rejection by the mainstream of the party of a Muslim-Muslim ticket that would have seen a Buhari- Tinubu ticket.

Sources say that Tinubu may have lately withdrawn himself to that fact and is now believed to be preparing himself to position his own man to be a possible number two man for the country.

The consideration of Osinbajo Vanguard learnt is based on the twin factors of his relatively clean character and respect in the Christian community. Osinbajo, who served as attorney general and commissioner for justice in the Tinubu cabinet has won a respectable image as a senior pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church of God.

He is said to be fairly close to Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the general overseer of the RCCG. Those rooting for him say that positioning him on the ticket would balance any insinuation on the country drifting towards an Islamic path as some critics of Buhari have sought to assert.

The consideration of Senator Borofice, it was learnt, was aimed at strategically breaking up the hold of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the Ekiti/Ondo axis, where the PDP is presently known to have set its foothold.

“By bringing out Borofice, who is about the only APC senator elected official in the Ekiti/Ondo axis, we can push for presence in the two states given that the PDP is in control of those two states,” a close associate of Tinubu said at the weekend.

Edun, who is reported to be the third person under consideration served as commissioner of finance for the two terms Governor Tinubu between 1999 and 2007 and he is said to be in position to bring relative youth to a presidency under Buhari’s watch.

“Our consideration of Edun is on the need of young blood given that Buhari is now of age and would need, young savvy men to keep him in track,” a source said.

Both Osinbajo and Borofice were acclaimed at Buhari’s declaration. Edun’s presence at the event could not be confirmed at press time. One other prospective nominee, Senator Olurunnimbe Mamora Vanguard learnt was like Dr. Fayemi not being favourably considered by the Tinubu camp ostensibly because of his independent trait, which reportedly came to fore in the testy days leading to Governor Babatunde Fashola’s certification of a second term ticket in 2011. Mamora was also present at Buhari’s event.

Southeast will never vote APC even if you wake Ojukwu (God bless his soul) up from the dead to become Buhari's running mate.. No need to waste that slot. Buhari even has more supporters in South south than East. I support a very popular yoruba man being paired with Buhari. Fashola would have just done it but for the religion thing.. If getting a suitable yoruba candidate isn't possible then Ameachi or Oshionmole should be chosen.

Fashola would be a very good choice, but Oshiomole? The man is not ready to vacate his seat at the Edo state government house to chase a VP ticket in which there's no guarantee that the party is going to win the election.

Canvassing support for Oshio What position would you give him if the presidential election was won by the PDP?

gunning for VP will not affect his seat as a governor. He can be a governor and still vie for VP. He doesn't have to resign to run as VP, just like Kwankwanso is the governor of Kano and presidential aspirant in APC, correct me if I'm wrong. Ngige was/is a senator before and after he lost the governotorial election.

If that is the case, I wonder what kind of dubious constitution we're operating on.
The 1999 constitution was designed to choke us, while the bigwigs get away with what ever!

Imagine a sitting senator contest of governorship, loses and goes back to the national assembly...!

But why are the prospective vice presidents from the South-West?


So many questions than answers.

If you choose Pope as VP from the south east, as long as the party is APC, people from that region will not vote for him. They will call him Alhaji Pope. South East should not benefit from what they did not work for. Politics is a game of numbers. You got it?

The 2011 presidential election was the freest and fairest in Nigeria's electoral history, even more so than the acclaimed June 12, 1993 election.
