This is great i love it.Once pdp gives its ticket to a northwest candidate, you got APC some problems.Because, with the vice president given to the South east, you have south south with them then there they equals south west votes(i.e south+south east =south west vote).the decider then comes from the north central which can easily swing to pdp with the influece of christian south check it.Pdp is on the lead here.Thanks.

The rationale for this kind of amorphous postulation?......... quite hard to fathom!

When you do your permutations, and easily assume that the voting population are zombies, who would deliver block votes like a herd, it is safe to assume you haven't learnt much.

The strength in numbers, would be decided by the performance of the current govt; zeal/apathy of the voting population to effect change and to a large extent, the integrity of the electoral process.

Buhari still has a bit of time to redeem himself and his party. Until, he fritters away this chance at redemption with his embarrassing cluelessness, insensitivity and refusal to be open to learning, let us deemphasize the effectiveness of any presidential pairings for the opposition party.

modath:


See yasef, you "scold" me for dis kain tinz oo.

On Topic,

Shekarau couldn't win his PU let alone his ward last time when they had the financial war chest.

Kwankwanso had to retreat fast & fall in line when kano people turned against him & his kwakwansiyya movt simply because Ganduje claimed he was antagonising Buhari.. Same kwankwanso in 2011 as a PDP member had PMB's image on his poster & urged the people to vote PDP only in the governorship but go with CPC in the presidential...


"Fulani herdsmen" has been turned into a political tool like they did BH, Goodluck getting votes from them (Pun fully intended)

A conned person isn't a fool, it is the the person who deliberately lives in self delusion that is a mumu of life!!!!

Doyin Okupe already called it : "No northern politician can match Bubu in the north" , people can however continue to drink Fayose & Ali Shekau's crazy juice...

No mind me jareh. Sometimes one truly can't help it.

Is there any Nigerian politician who abides by a political ideology? Our politics is still inchoate and this allows politicians to move about like nomads. Kwankwaso and his colleagues in the new PDP who left to join the APC did so because of the manner the presidential ticket was handed to GEJ without a primary. An act the PDP has admitted led to the party's abysmal outing in the 2015 general elections. Until we have a well developed political system and political parties with deep rooted ideologies, we must accept the fact that our politicians will continue to be mobile....If the PDP wants a quick return to Aso--Rock in 2019, Kwankwaso is the only "vehicle" that can drive them there.

You seem to miss my point. Of what use is kwankwaso to Nigerians if he cannot be trusted? Shifting from party to party should be frowned upon. Nigerians are too into individuals in the parties instead of substance. What values does PDP as a whole stand for? I am not talking about manifestos. I am talking about what they believe is the social route to getting out of the predicament the country finds itself. Their ideology will determine how they think collectively which will determine if their beliefs aligns with mine. We need to start asking questions like these. Political parties in every successful country has an ideology that is public. Political parties in Nigeria have none.

This stuff's getting too boring already. I don't take it you are mocking me, you're mocking the dead people and their loved ones alive.

ObinnaIzura, here's what you've been talking about. Most of these guys are just simply useless unto themselves and their societies. Imagine after posing a comment I expect could make any sane mind pause and mull over (because it is simply the truth- you can't pray for the deaths of people you believe could see your dreams come true) even if for a second, all this poster could do is go allllll the way back, bring the Agatu incident into a thread that has absolutely nothing to do with it. To them "mocking Omenka" would silence him forever.

Can't they even see that this technique has been hugely counterproductive?? Are they so dumb to realise this??

Smh.

Most of them are bitter kids, its in there blood and DNA.

I know one thing.. You are either one of the children constantly trying out your education on NL.. or you are just an antagonist of the govt. You are welcome in both cases.

fiizznation:
Well the people of kano don't do party politics especially at the state level. They normally fellow the candidate's personally and that's why a person like kwankwaso was able to win governorship elections twice under PDP while the current governor won as a APC candidate. So I don't think there is anything surprising here for some of us who understood kano and northern politics

And u think shekarau who won say kano twice (8yrs) under ANPP, is politically irrelivant?.

Anyways, am not interested in almajiris!!

Look at at all this ipod, una no want biafra again ni, where una want Nnmadi kanu,quote me any where, never northerners politics to compare other rejoin oooo

Lol,

PDP shall be like Mexico's Institution Revolutionary Party, (PRI).
PRI ruled Mexico for about 70 years until about 2002 or so, the opposition party defeated PRI.


Mexicans experienced excruciating pains under the new ruling party.

So the party hardly lasted for four years before Mexicans returned PRI back to power.

I understand you perfectly, bro. Our politics is a reflection of our development as a nation. The long years of military rule has robbed us of the opportunity to build strong virile political parties based on well articulated ideologies. All the parties we have had since independence save for the two parties that contested the 1993 presidential elections were offspring of the first republic parties. The NPC first transmuted to the NPN and later to the PDP. While the AG changed to the UPN and later to AD and then AC and ACN. The PDP was founded based on some collective principles, but like everything Nigerian, the party veered off from the lofty goals of its founding fathers. Attempts are being made to rebuild the party on those collective principles. It will be too idealistic to think all this can be done before the 2019 general elections.

bejeiodus:
You are very spot on in your assertion. Kwankwaso is the only northern politician with the political clout to take on Buhari in the north. Leaders of the PDP must do their best to woo him back to the party. He is PDP's best bet for the 2019 presidential elections.

To hell with kwankwaso, instead of him being our flag bearer let the APC win again.

SamuelAnyawu:
The only person who can give PMB little headache in the north remains Rabiu Kwankwaso.

Ethno/religious bigotry, Kwankwaso is worse than Buhari.

Kwankwaso hardly sees any body outside his religion and tribe as worth anything.

ellovee:

To hell with kwankwaso, instead of him being our flag bearer let the APC win again.

Who then do you suggest should fly the party's flag in the 2019 presidential election?

ellovee:

To hell with kwankwaso, instead of him being our flag bearer let the APC win again.

Southerners well-informed about Kwankwaso would rather vote Buhari to remain president, if possible, until Kwankwaso is no longer able to contest.

tuniski:

Baba is already a disaster! His best bet is to become a failure which is the son of disaster!

He still has 3 more years to effect the change. We gave GEJ 6 solid years and he couldn't do it, one year for Baba is nothing. Let Baba fire on.
That's your craving. It won't happen. Nigeria is greater than you. We will get there. Not by sheer hypocrisy but striving to be better. Baba deserves every chance.

Lots of naive clowns here.

No politician can match Buhari in the North. Not even close.

Then you don't know Ibrahim Shekaru, let me educate you a bit. I was Present in Kano When Shekaru was governor he reign was so sweet that he dashed all the local kings Parado jeeps, money was flowing things where wow for everybody no tax no karota no much poverty, fastfoward Rabiu Kawankwaso kano People saw hardship, just name it, Kano indigens dont pay Tax but due to Him they paid, karota made alot of people loss their lives due to poor or no training, harrasment and extortion, kwankwaso almost finished kano Emirate by suspending and almost removing the Sarki of kano, that has never happened before, look if i continue with reasons why they Kanawas will prefer Shekaru Nl will crash, but give it up to Kwankwaso on projects and law instalation and enforcement. Hope u know that he kwankwaso's hold on Kano is fast losing it Grip due to the fracas he had with Ganduje the incubent Governor. You should pay for this lecture its hard typing on keypads lol.

I don't think it would be too idealistic as you put it. It is quite simple really. It is all based on people asking questions. Questions like; "do you think government should control everything or not". All those in favor stand on one side and those against stand on the other side. That's how it begins. That's how you know who are socialist thinkers and those who are capitalist. When you make that distinction, then each divide would argue their points on how their approach is the best way for Nigerians. This is just an example though. The more questions we ask the more we know what and how our politicians think.

omenka:
Now, just a little thing to stair up some deep thoughts:

There are some people who jubilated over news today about BH killing some 30 Fulani herdsmen. They lost all sense of decency as the literally prayed that all Northerners be wiped off the face of the earth. One even says he is willing to contribute in cash and kind to see more of such incidences occur.

Now, these same people are fervent PDP supporters whose utmost desire is to have the party return to the centre. If these pics are authentic, that is surely no mean crowd- something that is common in the North when politicians organise events.

These same PDP supporters would be the ones to come here and post messages excitedly about the size of this crowd and what dangers such massive gathering of party loyalists portend for the ruling party.

One then wonders, where would they get such crowds from to put thumbprints on ballots to ensure PDP gets back in Aso Rock if these people are exterminated as you desire to have them??

Reminisce on that for a second fellas.

My son ..my son!!. If u have nothing reasonable to say, say nothing!. Who are killing who? Who are bokoharam & who are been butchered??. Many NL think u are ''NUT'', but really am begning to wonder who cracked ur head!

The truth remains no candidate can slug it out with PMB in the north shaaa

What APC shud neva take for granted is d fact that PDP had over 12million votes in d last presidential elections.

exagerated

SamuelAnyawu:

Ofcourse there is. Sule Lamido of jigawa state, no much controversies, doing good developmental work in Jigawa, and a northerner. Do u see?

Chill bro

If baba can meet up with expectations in the next two years...even kwankwaso will be like a leaner

I worry less about PDP so long baba can perform

spot on

Sunnynwa:


$ is selling for 320 naira now, it has never happened before in Nigeria.

We generated 0MW of electricity under this regime, it's never happened before.

That's the change APC supporters (blinded fellows) are defending.

Stop playing party support and be true to yourself. No fuel to buy, can't control price no plan for capacitty building, price of everything going all sky high. Then I aask WHAT MANNER OF CHANGE is this.

ganisucks:

Lies from the pit ☀̤̣̈̇f hell. If Bubu fails, it will be him, his family, APC, A̶̲̥̅̊Ω̴̩̩̩̥D̶̲̥̅̊ Y̶̲̥̅̊ø̲̣̣̥ǖ with 12million zombies that failed. This country is bigger than everyone, including Emperor Buhari. Soldier come, Soldier go, barracks remain the same

since you know barrack remain the same then stop ranting nah.

Am very happy that pdp have started reforming itself I pray baba kwankwasiya returns back and by the grace of God we will come back to aso rock in 2019

I agree with you that we the people need to ask more questions. But your fixation on having political ideologies is where I would differ. Ideologies don't build roads, provide energy, put food on people's tables, etc. The average voter doesn't care whether a candidate is a Marxist, a socialist or a capitalist. All he cares about is a man who won't neglect his welfare when elected into office. Many have claimed to hold a particular ideology in the past, they came to power only to denounce their beliefs. Does the APC not parade itself as a progressive party? Tell me, I pray you, what is progressive about the party's policies since it came to power?

Point of correction, Electricity workers went on strike and there was no light. Airport workers union in Germany went on strike and Lufthansa could not generate a single seat for departing passengers. Please look at the whole picture and don't misinform other after misleading yourself.

Stop spreading falsehoods mate. There was no strike when power plummeted to 0MW. Are you saying they went to strike for only 3 hours on that day?

I wonder how you guys get to be at peace with your consciences.
