2015: Drop Sambo As Your Running Mate Or Lose – PDP Women Leader by phemmyjohnson: 10:24pm On Oct 21, 2014
A women leader and Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP member from the Northwest region, Hajia
Binta Kuraye has faulted a chieftain of the party
from the region, Hon. Bello Haliru for the
statement he made during the grand finale of
the Transformation Ambassador of Nigeria,
TAN, rally in Abuja that the region supported
Jonathan/Sambo candidacy for 2015 elections.
The women
leader said while people of the region want
President Goodluck Jonathan to re-contest in
2015, they do not want him to pick Vice
President Namadi Sambo as his running mate.
There have been speculations that Jonathan is
under pressure to drop Sambo as his running
mate in 2015 due to his perceived lack of
electoral value.

Sambo’s sins, according to Kuraye, who spoke
yesterday at a press conference in Abuja, were
that in the past four years in office, the vice-
president has not done anything to justify his
support from the people of the North West.
Her words: “Vice President has not done
anything for the people of the region since he
assumed office in 2011. Sambo was lying to the
President that things are under control in the
northwest when they are actually not. I think,
he is playing politics that I know won’t do the
party any good.
“I can tell you that because of the lack of
grassroot support for the Jonathan and Sambo
candidacy, most of the chieftains of the party
from the region are not ready to tell the
President the truth as it regards the current
state of the region and people’s perception
because they are bent on protecting their seats
and personal interest.
“All the Northwest region wants Mr. President to
come back in 2015, but the problem is that what
Bello Haliru said at Eagle square that we are
adopting Pesident Jonathan with Vice President
Namadi Sambo is a lie, it is not true.
“You can’t force people against their wish, if
things continue this way, on the day of the
general election they will vote APC”
“The people of the region are supporting Mr.
President but don’t want Namadi Sambo. He’s
not doing anything for northwest. He didn’t
even help anybody from northwest, even
during the last Sallah, he could not share
common salt and rice in Kaduna State.
“We are begging Mr. President to change the
vice president as his running mate immediately.
If not, there will be a problem in the
presidential election in 2015, because people
will refuse to vote for the president in 2015 if he
chooses Sambo as his running mate
“As far as I am concerned, anyone telling Mr.
President that there is no problem in Northwest
is lying. Out of 100 per cent, maybe ten per cent
like Mr. President, all the 90 per cent of the
people from the zone will refuse to vote the
president because of Sambo. They don’t want to
hear Jonathan’s name at all. So, why are these
people deceiving this man?”
Kuraye further insisted that Kaduna, Kano,
Jigawa, Kastina, Zamfara, Sokoto and Kebbi
states are not guaranteed for the president
come 2015, if he insists on sticking with Sambo
as his running mate.
“As the election is fast approaching, I urge Mr.
President to please open his eyes I can tell you
that there is no single campaign office in the
northwest, if anyone tries to open the office, it
will be set on fire because the people are not
enjoying the dividends of democracy”, she said

PDP really need to call its house into order asap or else, it pay the price. Politics isn't about money alone, the wish and the voice of mere members should be respected more than ego!
Its a welcome development tho. One by one by God, APC now receiving massive support from all regions of the country
