Who Will Emerge As The Vice-Presidential
Candidate Of The APC? Few weeks before the All Progressive
Congress, APC, holds its presidential
primaries, below is a cursory look at
five politicians that are most likely to
emerge as the vice-presidential candidate of
the opposition party: 1. Governor Babatunde Fashola: Arguably, he has the brightest chance among the
lot. His greatest undoing would be if a Muslim
presidential candidate emerges (which is most
likely anyway), but the APC might ignore the
warnings from different quarters not to field a
Muslim-Muslim ticket and go ahead to draft Fashola into the race because of his popularity across the
nation despite the recent denial by one of Buhari spokespersons. Fashola 2. Governor Adams Oshiomole: The comrade governor as he is fondly called, is no
doubt a leading candidate to emerge in this race.
The former labour leader is well-known across the
nation and he is generally seen as a man who is
close to the people despite the PR disaster that led to the ‘Go and Die’ scenario. His boldness and oratorical skills cannot also be ignored. His national
appeal will be an asset to whoever emerges as the
presidential candidate of the John Odigie Oyegun led party. Oshiomole READ ALSO: 2015: APC Adopts New Tactics 3. Governor Rotimi Amaechi: Ignore him at your own peril. An emerging political
colossus, Amaechi is one politician that has fought
so many political battles since he joined active politics and he always comes out victorious. His
emergence as the vice-presidential candidate in
the APC will no doubt give the PDP top-shots
sleepless nights. He is sure to deliver millions of
votes for the APC in his home-state just like he did
for President Goodluck Jonathan in the 2011 presidential elections. Amaechi 4. Governor Rochas Okorocha: Although, he has declared his interest to contest in the APC’s presidential primaries, the Imo governor will at best get the vice-presidential ticket
as the APC leadership seem to have zoned the
presidential ticket to the north. A rallying figure for
the APC in the South-East, Okorocha’s national
connections puts him in good stead if the party
decides to look the way of the Igbos for the VP ticket. A former governor and currently a serving senator
representing Anambra central in the upper
chamber of the national assembly, Dr. Ngige has
seen it all in Nigeria politics. His perceived
closeness to Tinubu will no doubt give him the edge
if the APC leaders decide to zone the ticket to the South-East. Not to mention his loyalty to the party
for close to a decade now. He also has a cult-like
following in the South-East especially in his home-
sate of Anambra. Ngige 6. Dr. Kayode Fayemi: A shinning light amongst his peers, the 49-year old
former governor of Ekiti state is one of the few
decent Nigerians that has graced the Nigeria
political scene. Armed with a doctorate in War
Studies from the prestigious King’s College,
University of London, Fayemi represents the generational change that Nigerians have been
yearning for in leadership positions. He stands a
bright chance of getting the ticket if the APC zones
the ticket to the South-West. And unlike Fashola, he
is a christian.

Rubbish post. Can anything good come out of janjawied?
