The PDP rode, and is still riding on the back of IGBO people for its acheivements over the year, yet leaving its elders irrelevant in political scheme of things. It is unfortunate that the people who have sacrificed so much for the party since inception now find themselves begging for recognition. Late Dim Ojukwu saw this and formed APGA but PDP bought it over by implanted it's elements within it, Okorocha saw it and decided to seek relevance else where which he is now getting. The sooner the Igbo realises that their political relevance lies else where other than the PDP the better. A word is enough for the wise. As for Dr Ekweme, I quite appreciate ur doggedness wrapped in humility. Posterity has a good record you. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Niwdog:the simple bitter truth about pdp is that, the old brigade of politicians in pdp simply can't and don't understand how gej is able to manage the affairs of pdp without them. Ppl like ekweme ,obj and co believed that gej couldn't manoeuvre the ship of pdp without consulting them but unfortunately for them gej has done far more than they expected and now pdp is stronger than before. These old politicians contributed in no small measure the mess and problems pdp had before. Obj was the architect of pdp problems and thank god he has finally been sidelined and ignored. The pdp political family win not only win this election convincingly they will win it re soundly and majestically. Pdp,the party to beat anytime anyday and the party to be in . 1 Like |

[/color] LRNZH: So you think that by Ekwueme's declaration, the SE will now massively vote for your hero. Fa fa fa foul. In the absence of any other choice, among the two presidential candidates, voting for one means voting AGAINST the other. I'll vote against your 'hero' for obvious reasons and not necessarily for J. |

For the fact that we do not have enough opposition is to my view a natural development. When IBB decreed two political parties, NRC and SDP, he called me and asked what I thought of that, I told him in principle that I am in support of two party system where there are two strong parties. But I have reservations for the two party system being created by a decree. So, now in this dispensation we have the PDP, we have the APC which is the major opposition party which I think is healthy one provided we base our decision making on issues rather than abuses.The formation of the APC was the best thing that happened to Nigeria's democracy. At least the PDP can no longer do whatever they like without consequences. However due to the poor report card of Jonathan, the entire PDP machinery is now left with no other campaign tool other than abusing the opposition. Instead of advertising their candidate, they dwell on running down their opponents. If one opens the Nairaland political section or any other website, 90% of the threads have 'Buhari' mentioned in their title. If it's not APC promoting GMB, it is PDP abusing GMB but whatever the case, it is all about GMB. How would you assess that of the President Jonathan. How would you see the presidency under Jonathan?It must be really painful and depressing for the founding fathers of PDP to have such an inept and confused individual as Jonathan representing their party.... A leader who only 'occupies' a seat and some Nigerians actually want this Jonathan to continue occupying the seat for a further 4 years even while the nation burns.. Well, you should bear in mind that this trouble in the North-East didn’t start with Jonathan. At a time insurgents were occupying local government headquarters in Yobe State before Jonathan even came on the scene, but it escalated after Jonathan was elected and 2011. Stories connect it to some statements made in 2011 that if Jonathan wins, they will make the country ungovernable. And after the election, insurgents took over a whole region of a country that out of 26 local government areas in Borno State, Boko Haram is in charge of 22. So, it’s a situation that is not necessarily of Jonathan’s making. However, his approach to it, it’s a matter of approach. In our time we had Maitatsine, I think in the same Borno State, the same Maiduguri but President Shehu Shagari didn’t waste time in crushing them. They resurfaced in Kano, we faced them again squarely, surfaced in Sokoto State, his own state, in area that was our showpiece for rural development, irrigation, there they were finally crushed, they didn’t rear their heads again until we finished. Then when Buhari came in 1984, they resurfaced again this time in Yola and he dealt with them as well. Some people said that you can’t kill insurgency with the force of arms, but even insurgents are not immortal, except for few who are suicidal elements; many of them don’t want to die in the final analysis. So, if you face them squarely, they are bound to retreat.Jonathan has proven and reproven that he is incapable of leading a complex nation like Nigeria. He is absolutely incapable of being a commander in chief of the armed forces and that's why our military is in total disarray and can't defeat a ragtag insurgence. It's a real pity that most southeasterners and southsoutherners have refused to empathize with the people of the northeast. It's very easy to be nonchallant and say things like "they brought it upon themselves, so it's not our business." What we fail to understand down south is that if this insurgence is not checked quickly, it will grow stronger and will eventually spread to the south. We have a leader who is incapable of providing security and yet we dont give a damn and want this ineptitude to continue for a further 4 years all because we think we are punishing the north? 2 Likes |

I don't like this. Where is anonimi, Chukwudi44, Sunnybobo3, billyonaire, rozayx5, onyengbu, Ngwakwe etc when you need them? Come and respond to this bombshell the greatest political icon from Igboland has just thrown. If the Igbos respect their elders this should be the 12inches nail on Jonathan's eastern votes.

N'digbo please do not put ur heads in one basket, spread out, because Failure of the basket is calamitous. The Hausas and Yorubas has strong hold in APC and PDP. The igbos are not getting it right because they seem not to understand the situation and political terrine. As it stands now, they should watch the trend and political calculations of tgas it favour APC- Buhari, so as who ever wins at the poll will carry them along. Ogbonaya Onu, Alex Ekweme OK Orchard and the rest have spoken. Eyes for the wise...........Igbos be wise!! 2 Likes |

How would you assess that of the President Jonathan. How would you see the presidency under Jonathan? Well, it’s not a question you should be asking me really, as long as I’m in PDP, I cannot come out to say PDP president is rubbish, except that each president must have his own decision making capabilities and must make a personal input in the presidency for which he will be remembered. Some are remembered for what they have done and some are remembered for just having occupied that seat. I read that twice 1 Like |
