NCP:

Which credible northerner can unseat Buhari with a popular vote?
Mention JUST ONE

So all Northerners are incredible and corrupt?

The 2 parties have zoned there presidency to the north and to be honest the only person I see giving Buhari a run is Kwankwaso, the guy is loved especially with Buharis dismal performance so far.

In 2015 kano state gave buhari 1.9M votes while the whole of SW gave 2.2M votes, when it comes to politics in Nigeria the ace is in the north, they decide who wins largely due to massive population.

As the saying you can have your say but they have their ways

PassingShot:
Where are the heavyweights?

Makarfi cannot win his state against Buhari.

Atiku will struggle to win any other state outside Adamawa.

Kwankwaso has a formidable match in Ganduje to share Kano's votes.

Forget Dankwabo. He's too inexperienced to even mount a serious fight against PMB.

Fayose won't even win Ekiti state let alone the entire SW.

Bottom line: If PMB recovers completely and decides to run for a second term, none of these guys can win him in the NE and NW, and he will do very well in NC too. The votes he needs in the SW will easily come from Lagos, Oyo, Osun and Ogun plus Ondo where he worked to install the governor.

Also, the knowledge that a Yoruba man will most likely succeed PMB after 2023 will easily make him win in SW hands down.

SE and SS won't matter much as a handful of states will give more than the required 25% needed there.

Make Una forget online ranting and Nairaland "likes", PMB still holds the trump card.

Nice points though bt Wat makes u think the North will allow the Yorubas to take over from them in 2023? Guy u re on a long thing, u will experience the Hausas' treachery first hand as regards power when the time comes !, they will insist that the NC especially is a different entity from NW and NE nd would insist that power shifts there too where they ve another Hausa stooge on standby..

I don't see it happening that after PMB, anyone from the North (NC specifically) will be allowed by the rest of the country to be president.

There's an unwritten understanding of how power will rotate. And based on that principle, power should naturally go to the SE after PMB in 2023 given that OBJ and GEJ have both held it on behalf of SW and SS. However, the way the Igbos play their politics of bitterness and hatred, plus their resolve to leave Nigeria, have schemed them out of contention.

Pray for Buhari. I dreamt he went to a public function, fainted and died

yns4real:
President Muhammadu Buhari, who has only just returned yesterday after over a hundred days of medical leave, is yet to declare his interest in seeking a second term of office.


The possibility of that happening cannot be ruled out as his loyalists and political associates have continued to fly that kite. But the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which was ousted from power in 2015 by the All Progressives Congress (APC), has vowed to make a comeback in 2019.

The PDP’s resolve to upstage the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC government was reinforced at its recent mini convention in Abuja where the party’s bigwigs vowed to dethrone the governing APC using the slogan: ‘Change the Change’.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had released the timetable for the 2019 elections in March this year, indicating that the next presidential and National Assembly elections will hold on February 16, 2019. If President Buhari decides to re-contest in 2019, he would certainly face gladiators from the main opposition PDP, many of whom have already started aligning their interests for the presidential ticket ahead of the elections. Daily Trust on Sunday takes a look at seven heavyweights from amongs which, the PDP’s champion may emerge to face President Buhari.

Ahmed Makarfi

Within the eight years that Senator Ahmed Makarfi was governor of Kaduna State (from 1999 to 2007), he was credited with the ability to mitigate religious and ethnic violence in the state and has, through that feat, projected himself as an objective and fair-minded leader.

His outstanding performance in the state’s infrastructural development with his focus on rural roads, rural water and rural electrification shot him into national limelight.

Makarfi was a senator in 2007-15 where he chaired the committee on Appropriation. Though he lost the bid to return for a third time in 2015, his profile rose further when PDP governors and party members appointed him Chairman of the party at the Port Harcourt convention that held last year.

Since then he had been battling for the position with former governor of Borno State, Ali Modu Sheriff, until recently when the Supreme Court ruled in his favour.

Makarfi is expected to relinquish the PDP chairmanship, which has been zoned to the Southwest, but he is already a likely candidate for its presidential ticket, which was zoned to the North, especially given the trust key members of the party, especially serving governors, have in him. If he eventually secures the PDP ticket, he is likely to face President Buhari in the 2019 presidential race.

Sule Lamido

Alhaji Sule Lamido, a former two-term governor of Jigawa State, has already commenced campaign for the PDP ticket ahead of 2019. In April last year, he reportedly told newsmen in his village, Bamaina in Birnin Kudu Local Government Area of the State, “If my party finds me worthy of the party’s presidential ticket to serve Nigeria, I will thank God and oblige.”

Two weeks after he was released on bail from prison over allegations of incitement preferred against him by the Jigawa State Government in May this year, Lamido unveiled his 2019 presidential bid during a dinner for the 36 state chairmen of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) held in Abuja.
Lamido is one of the most experienced politicians in Nigeria today, having been a prominent PRP member of the House of Representatives in the Second Republic and also serving as a leading member of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the Third Republic. He was also Obasanjo’s Foreign Affairs Minister between 1999 and 2003.

As governor of Jigawa, he earned kudos for executing many worthwhile infrastructural projects including roads, airport and a state university.

Throughout his political career however, Lamido’s reputation is that of a political hothead who is known for controversies and ruffling political feathers.

Atiku Abubakar

A former Vice President for eight years, Atiku Abubakar is a political heavyweight in Nigeria with considerable political machinery especially in Northern Nigeria at his service. Atiku, who never hides his presidential ambition, had contested the 2007 presidential election on the platform of the defunct Action Congress (AC) after realizing that he could not get the PDP ticket because of his frosty relationship with then President Obasanjo. Atiku also contested for the PDP presidential ticket against President Goodluck Jonathan in 2011. He again vied for APC’s ticket in 2014 against President Buhari, finishing third at the Lagos convention.

The action, body language and utterances of the Waziri of Adamawa are enough to show that he is prepared to take another shot at the presidential race in 2019. In the past year Atiku became a vocal voice for restructuring, a move seen as a strategy to woo the South-South and South-East, regions where Buhari is less popular. In the North, Atiku’s strategy is to insist on a “power shift” to the North East.

He has been saying since 1999 that the North West has marginalised the North East in top political offices. Those strategies are backed by very deep pockets and one of the greatest determinations in Nigerian politics. Atiku celebrated his 70th birthday recently and his renewed determination probably stems from a calculation that 2019, when he will be 72, is his last chance.

However, Atiku’s political reputation over the years has been harmed by his frequent change of political parties in pursuit of his presidential ambition. In the run up to 2019, though still an APC stalwart, it is possible that he may again return to the PDP to jostle for its presidential ticket. He is already laying grounds for that because he recently attacked APC as a party without internal democracy.

Ayo Fayose

Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose is largely seen as fearless as a result of his controversial comments and leadership style. His February 21, 2017 declaration of presidential ambition in 2019 was also seen by commentators as a joke, but he seems quite serious about it. Some insiders are already calling him the ‘Donald Trump of Nigeria.’

The 56-year-old Fayose, who is the chairman of the PDP Governors Forum, expressed his interest in the presidency during a live television interview saying that in the near future, he will take over the mantle to lead the nation as his future was tied to the presidency.

“It is not by power; it is destiny. I did not believe it when I became Ekiti governor. After eight years, I will be the vice president of Nigeria, even the President very soon,” he was quoted as saying.

The maverick governor may however have to contend with an array of other interests within the PDP, some of who are seen as having brighter chances.
He has also echoed his resolve to be president in May this year when he met with political office holders at Government House, Ado Ekiti.

“I have a penchant for taking powers. That one in Buhari’s hand, I will take it. I’m going straight to that villa. I’m the next president. I want to be the next president of Nigeria. My own won’t be this change that has brought nothing, we are going to represent the people well and tell them the truth,” he said.

David Mark

Senator David Mark, a retired military general, was military Governor of Niger State from 1984 to 1986. He later became a minister of Communications in 1987. He went on self-exile from 1993 to 1998 following the annulment of the June 12 1993 election. With the return to democracy in 1999, he contested for the Benue South Senatorial seat on the platform of the PDP and won. He was re-elected to serve from 2003 to 2007 and re-contested and won. He became Senate President from 2007 to 2011 and got re-elected for a fourth tenure from 2011 to 2015.

When the curtains fell on the 7th session of Nigeria’s National Assembly, Mark who was one of the most prominent characters of that era, retreated backstage as a member of the 8th session after his party became a minority. As senate president, Mark was known for his ignoble role in deepening and institutionalizing the culture of secrecy at Nigeria’s federal legislative body.

While the leadership crisis in the PDP between Makarfi and Sheriff festered, Mark, initially maintained silence until last April.

In a statement by Paul Mumeh, his media aide, Mark reportedly said the problem with the party had persisted because the major actors in the peace talks were not coming with open minds.
Mark, however, vowed to remain in the party despite the challenges while also criticizing those who have left the party.

Mark became relatively passive in the Senate, maintaining a posture of ‘siddon look’ in the 8th Assembly, which brought him under verbal attacks from many Nigerians. Mark later attributed his silence to the defeat suffered by his party in the 2015 elections.

Although he has not openly indicated his interest to run for the Presidency, campaign posters of the former Senate President have started flooding some parts of the country, including on social media. If the posters are anything to go by, it means Mark would also be seeking the PDP’s presidential ticket to slug it out with Buhari in 2019.

Donald Duke

A former governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke entered into public service for the first time in 1991 when he was appointed as a member of the Board of Directors of Voice of Nigeria (VON). In 1992, he was appointed a member of the Cross River State Executive Council where he held the portfolio of Commissioner for Finance, Budget and Planning.

He created the idea of Obudu Ranch International Mountain race which became one of the most lucrative mountain competitions in the world under his stewardship. Duke also started the Tinapa Resort project as a way to boost business and tourism in the state.

As Governor of Cross River State, Duke was praised for his contributions to the fields of Agriculture, Urban Development, governance, environment, information and communication. It was through his efforts that Calabar, the capital of Cross River State, is being seen today as the ‘cleanest city in Nigeria.’

Duke first announced that he would run for president in 2007 but later stepped aside for the eventual winner, the late Umaru Yar’ Adua.

In May this year, the former governor declared that he wants to be Nigeria’s President at a programme, “The Nigerian Symposium for Emerging Leaders,” held in Lagos.

Duke said though he once aspired to the position but did not emerge the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, he would still contest for the highest office in the country at the appropriate time. He explained that it was because of his preference for the presidential seat that he did not vie for any federal legislative seat after serving out his terms as governor.

“I do not have the flair for the legislature; standing up and sitting down at the chambers to raise a point. That was why I did not contest for the Senate but the presidency, after serving out my term as governor. I have contested the presidency before; I will still give it a shot when the opportunity presents itself. I believe I still have the energy in me,” he said.

With the passage of the Not Too Young to Run bill into law, Duke who is relatively younger may want to take advantage to make history as Nigeria’s youngest elected president. And if he emerges the PDP’s presidential ticket bearer, he would one of the youngest candidates to contest.

Ibrahim Dankwambo

A former Accountant General of the Federation, Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo was elected governor of Gombe State in 2011 and was re-elected on the platform of his party, the PDP, in 2015.

As one of the two PDP governors in the North who had made himself a national figure, he has reportedly commenced moves to secure the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential ticket for the 2019 general elections. Dankwambo’s interest is largely predicated on the zoning of the PDP’s Presidential ticket to the North.

It is believed that he would seek the support of Nigerian governors who have always endorsed one of themselves for the presidential slot to actualize his ambition. However whether Dankwambo has the financial wherewithal as well as the political clout to slug it out with other gladiators for the PDP presidential ticket remains to be seen. Should he emerge the ticket bearer, Dankwambo would then have to face President Buhari if he decides to seek re-election in 2019.

Also, the knowledge that a Yoruba man will most likely succeed PMB after 2023 will easily make him win in SW hands down.

SE and SS won't matter much as a handful of states will give more than the required 25% needed there.

Make Una forget online ranting and Nairaland "likes", PMB still holds the trump card.

Someone with over 6 years of managing the National Treasury as Accountant General of the Federation and a two term Governor?
The only PDP Governor in the whole of Northern Nigeria?
The only person able to rubbish APC & Bubu's CHANGE propaganda right there in the North, in their strongest enclave, where Buhari is literally worshiped?
What is inexperience supposed to mean?
If I ever see a viable choice then I will SUPPORT DANKWAMBO to unseat Buhari already having proved that he can hold his own during the 2015 Zombie apocalypse of CHAINS and SAI BABA!
Smart, intelligent, young and a great performer!!!

Mkpo Aseh Baa oo.
PDP candidate slug it out with Buhari ? Lols.
You people no dey learn or sturdy the trend...
No Candidate in Nigeria today can win Buhari in an Election (See buhari na fukub him no deliver him promises and him dey frail, but thats a story fkr anoda day) but as per popularity no Nigerian today can win Buhari in an Election.


Ahmed Makarfi.
Is it this man that couldn't even get win the party leadership in his Party, without recourse to the court coming to save him, that he will win election against Buhari ? Was Makarfi not the PDP chairman wen Buhari swept 99.9% of votes in the north ? Can Markafi win Buhari even in his very own Local Government Area ?

Sule Lamido
PDP never seize to amaze, is it this same man that is tripping to the court and back on a daily basis I with his thieving child that will win ? All these people campaigned in 2015 for GEJ and were not able to secure even their street for GEJ are they the ones that will now win Buhari in an election. ?

Atiku Abubaka
This man even after splashing sooo much money during last yrs Primaries could not even win Kwankwanso not to talk of Buhari... He has invested so much, but mehn the niggar is paying for our Nitel money... I wont say he was will have zero vote, but the thing is, if he is competing against makarfi or the aforementioned people, he said will have a fair chance... But against buhari ? No mortal born of a woman, or taken from a woman, has the popularity of that frail Papa in the north.

Ayo Fayose
Just tell me that the dailypost guys a joking here..


David Mark
The niger that is famed for being senate President for a donkey yrs, without as much as repairing a road to Otukpo, cannot win a post for governor in his state talkless of winning against the dokoyaro of the north.

Donald Duke
Ohhhhh my main man !!
God knows i love this man, no homo.
He is the only contestant on this list, but the ish is, its not GEJ that you are contesting against here, its buhari, its just like Eden Hazard trying to be world best, its not like he is not good, its just about that he is competing against unequals.. Donald Duke is sound all round... But he has popularity in the south alone... PDP is dying, I will advice he joins APC and be famzing around like Ayiri is doing.. When the rotation comes again to tthe south h.. He will be our best candidate.... Oooo waite, someone said Ameachi..

Ibrahim Dakwambo

Mbok who is that guy ? Who from the south Knows him ? Mbok mbok na LG chairman list be this or the President of the federal Republic of Nigeria contestant list ? This folk is regional mbok.

Drops pen, starts cracking knuckles itching for a fight with those that will curse me

. so no single Igbo man..... this is very unfair....

That's why we should hope for Buhari's second term. Even though I do not wholeheartedly support this due to his old age nd fragile health. Having another northerner take over from Buhari in 2019, may distrust the system because most Nigerian politicians detest the idea of them spending a tenure. Maybe not tho.
