VP? Igbos need the Presidency by 2023. Buhari go complete him second term by then.

Abeg,stop decieving yourself.
Sorry for you.So,if apc/buhari tells you he will hand over to a south easterner,you believe them?So what if pdp fields a northern candidate in 2023?
Do you believe a northerner votes along party lines?
From the look if things,norterners will keep ruling until they decide to hand over to the south,maybe out of pity or too much wailing.
That is what the south has done to itself.

Efewestern:
The VP slot is definitely going to SE, I hope they pick soludo as vp, my fear is atiku becoming the president, the guy will be worst than buhari.

Nwanne. It's going to the South West.

NO BODY WILL VOTE WOMAN AS VP IN THE NORTH

Ngozi okonjo I. Is more than ten men

Yorubas didn’t vote for Obasanjo.

Of course, he won with the votes from the North and East.
Perhaps it is safe to say that, Yorubas don’t vote for Yorubas.

Yorubas always vote for Yorubas, never in the history of Nigerian politics have yorubas voted for an outsider against a yoruba

1. In 1999, Obasanjo was contesting against a fellow yoruba in Falae
2. Obasanjo was never the 1st choice of the yorubas
2. In 2003 Obasanjo was the only yoruba candidate so we voted for him even though he wasnt our ideal choice..
4 Long story but Obasanjo does not represent the yorubas.

none of the jamborees is a match for VP ...are they NOT all massob?

show me true ndigbo who has diversified his/her blood from the virus of corruption like Osinbajo and buhari

all this big cheek lady and bald head woman were just political opportunist who has been tried but failed Nigerians..

show us other women of integrity...NOT people who don chop and tire of milking 9ja..

You all will be deceiving yourself if you think the PDP will field igbo person as VP candidate. why do you think Fayose and Wike sold the Yoruba man (Prof. Adeniran) out of PDP chairmanship position? it is to clear way for Fayose as VP. .They don't want the Chairmanship and VP position to come from the same region. The highest postion igbo will settle for is senate president. as for now, the VP position will go to SW using Fayose.

i wont be surprised if this turns out to be true , fayose has once hinted that he will become the vice president

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/05/2019-im-qualified-to-be-vice-president-if-fayose/


Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, has said that he was qualified to run for the office of the Vice President in 2019, if it is the will of God. Fayose, who was reacting to reports that he was billed to be picked as the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, running mate to Senator Alimodu Sheriff in the 2019 Presidential election, said Sheriff is the PDP chairman and is going to continue in office, adding that “if he gives me the Vice President slot, it is a good thing for Ekiti people.

Oga carry this your question and throw it in a thrash can!
SE what?
APC can never and will never give a SE a presidential ticket zoning or not!

APC will rather look for one Alhaji who has an ibo wife and make him a presidential candidate.

The only party that practice true democracy is PDP.
PDP remains the only party that has provided;
Obansanjo - SW
YarAdua- North
GEJ- SS
ATIKU (2019)- North

This remains the only party where the Yoruba's & Igbos stand a Chance to get Presidential ticket

Same old shit, just a different election. Trust me there are thousands of people in the SE that will make a Far better Candidate if they are chances!

Status man Rochas, so we all have one

As them Mumu die?


SEE HOW THEY ARE DELIBERATING WHICH OF THEIR BEST BRAINS WILL BECOME THE THE GWORO CHEWING ALMANJIRI HAUSA FULANI ERRAND BOY IN THE ZOO(in kanu voice)



NNAMDI KANU,YOUR PEOPLE ARE DISGRACE TO IPOBism

I am 101% sure PDP will field a VP from South West to counter North + SW ticket in APC.

Leave mumu biafrans, they know nothing about politics, everything to them is emotions (no Igbo President since Jesus came, this and that as if anyone cares). Their eyes go clear in 2019.

I see PDP fielding their gburu gburu 1 of Ekiti tho. They don't pose any threat to the present government.

NaijaElba:
You all will be deceiving yourself if you think the PDP will field igbo person as VP candidate. why do you think Fayose and Wike sold the Yoruba man (Prof. Adeniran) out of PDP chairmanship position? it is to clear way for Fayose as VP. .They don't want the Chairmanship and VP position to come from the same region. The highest postion igbo will settle for is senate president. as for now, the VP position will go to SW using Fayose.

Keep your head safe,d bashing can cause another war.

Okonjo is not south east

If the PDP really want to win the 2019 elections,first they need to assure the SW of a meaningful stake in their future hoped government by guaranteeing them at least the Senate presidency to compensate them for loosing out of the party chairmanship, then pick a SE vp,the SE can choose the most preferred candidate amongst themselves but my choice will be obi,then there has to be a concrete evidenced agreement for the northern president preferably of NE zone to do a single term so that the SE can have a shot at the presidency by 2023,the issue of a SE president will surely be a big deciding factor in the 2019 elections,I hope the PDP gets it right.

Alcatraz005:


They would kill you for saying this.

Kill him for what?
i for one prefer senate president to vp.
The vp in niaja usually has very little powers and that even depends on his relationship with the president.
Fayose has no political value after 2018.
how many votes will the southwest give to the pdp.?
southwest that you cannot determine which way they will vote?even the north,apc and buhari are confused about southwest votes.they can say one thing and then do something else,that is what they are known for.

To be honest all this is a waste of time, An Ibo cannot become president or Vice president in this country for a long time.


why?

After the betrayal of GEJ, and with recent Biafra/IpOB events and agitations, where the rest of the country now know what is in the heart of the SE, the North is never going to trust them with the presidency or the Vice (just in case president dies).

In this country you dont have elections, the powers that be determine who will be president. The powers that be aligned with Obasanjo when it was in the interest of the North and they felt they could trust him, The powers that be aligned with Buhari when it was in the interest of the North and they were betrayed by GEJ. The same powers that be will never align with a SE candidate for president or VP not with the recent events and agitations. Once the powers that be back a candidate, it's a fait accompli. You will be surprised how quickly the North will close ranks against the possibility of someone from the SE occupying the presidency.


Save this post and call me a bastard if it happens anytime soon.

Fayose won't get the VP slot, though it is likely going to the South-West.

But dat is d truth. The Yorubas shouting they have been marginalised Don, t even know d political calculation of markafi, wike, fayose and Co. The VP slot will go the SW and d igbos will get their position for presidency after the north. Igbos don't care about VP slot but they care about the presidency which will come to dem after d north. But they will make a mistake in thinking they will get it apc by 2023 cos tinubu will definitely hijack it to become president(his long term ambition).

Alcatraz005:


They would kill you for saying this.

mentorandfriend:
There is no denying the fact that the Buhari led APC administration who won the 2015 presidential elections on popular support has done fairly well; yet going by their campaign promises, it is far below expectations. Nigerians are sighing with disappointment more than 2 years on. This has opened the door to PDP to try to retake power come 2019. They have started this by trying to put their house in order, starting from their successful national convention to elect their leaders last weekend.

As expected, the PDP has zoned its presidential ticket to the north, and if feelers are anything to go by, then the south east might get the nod to produce the VP.

Which one person in the south east do you think enjoys national acceptance, either from the public or private sector who can help PDP retake power if given the VP slot.

My opinion: Add yours, or argue for and against the people below.

1) Osita Chidoka. Aside the fact that he seems clean, and scored points from the purists in the just concluded Anambra gubernatorial elections for his refusal to share money to voters, urging voters to vote their conscience, the former FRSC boss and Minister of Aviation is a very sellable candidate. His youthfulness, eloquence, vibrance, intelligence, and character will come to fore to help PDP as 2019 campaign gathers steam.

2) Dr Mrs Okonjo Iweala. The highly cerebral economist served two terms as finance minister of Nigeria (2003 - 2006, 2011 - 2015) and was previous managing director of the world bank (2007 - 2011). Perhaps her biggest achievement as Nigeria's finance minister was negotiating and securing the Paris club debt relief for Nigeria during her first stint as federal minister of finance.

She currently chairs the Board of Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) and the African Risks Capacity at WB. She's also a senior advisor at Lazard and is respected across the breadth of the country.

3) Oby Ezekwesili. A chattered accountant, she has served as Nigeria's minister of solid minerals and later, minister of education where she swept the ministry with far reaching reforms. She served as World Bank's VP, Africa Division from May 2007 - May 2012. She's also a tornado on the social media and her BBOG campaign support has earned her a nationalist personality and love from Nigerians who identify and sympathise with the plight of the Chibok girls and the ongoing problems facing North Eastern Nigeria.

4) Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo. Probably Africa's best brain in macro economics, he was appointed CBN Governor from May 29th 2004 to May 29th 2009 where his best work was bank capitalisation and consolidation, yielding 25 strong Nigerian banks from over 300 banks. He's presently a consultant to the UN and a visiting lecturer to several foreign universities. He still enjoys popular support among Nigerians as a brainy chap that can solve Nigeria's Balance of Trade problems in an economy heavily dependant on exportation.

5) Mr Peter Obi. Former Governor of Anambra state. He created an indelible legacy through ANIDS (Anambra Integrated Development Strategy) where all sectors where enjoying attention simultaneously. Famed for his frugality, he saved up an alleged 70 billion naira in cash and assets for Anambra state as stated in his handover notes. He enjoys popular support from Ndi Anambra, Igbos and Nigerians.

6) Senator Ike Ekweremadu. Nigeria's deputy senate president. There's no disputing the fact that he is a popular figure amongst his colleagues, and enjoys some level of leadership and respect within the PDP structure. He has both the financial muscle and the goodwill across the country from his colleagues in the Red Chambers to mobilise support for PDP in 2019.

Written by mentorandfriend for nairaland politics section.

why is Nnamdi kanu not on the list?

PDPGuy:
For me, Bianca Ojukwu, Chukwuma Soludo, and Peter Obi are easily the most sellable persons from the SE.

Bianca and Soludo would be the ‘safest’ choices because although they are both technocrats, they also do not have a cult of political followeship or a huge political machinery that could challenge a President Atiku.

Bianca is a lawyer and has a Masters degree in International Relations. She also served as Nigeria’s ambassador to Spain for three years, from 2012-2015. She definitely has the requisite intellectual capacity and executive/foreign policy experience to be part of the PDP’s presidential ticket.

Peter Obi and Soludo will be long shots due to their charisma and political machine in Anambra. As the history of Nigerian politics has shown, with the exception of OBJ, the running mate has always been someone who is quiet and unassuming eg GEJ, Osinbajo, Ekwueme etc.

Then, if Atiku decides to serve only one term, Bianca owould be in a great position to run for the presidency in 2023.

Which Bianca?Bianca indeed.smh.

Atiku will lose. If una like, combine Soludo/Iweala. Ezekwesili and Chidoka into one superhuman, Buhari go defeat Atiku and then hand over power to Osinbajo in 2023...save this message; una go say I talk so.

Efewestern:
The VP slot is definitely going to SE, I hope they pick soludo as vp, my fear is atiku becoming the president, the guy will be worst than buhari.

How?Nobody can be worse than buheri.

Give the Vice President Position to CHARLY BOY

He is the voice of the COMMON PEOPLE

He understand what pinches the common man.

He may not have political experience judging from his background as an entertainer and a social activist.

But he is a pan africanist, pan nigerianist who believe in ONE NIGERIA

Charly Boy did not support Biafra but he believed in the greatness of Nigeria as a ONE ENTITY.

By giving Charly Boy the position it will also help in sending in the message that people outside traditional institution can also become President.

WE ARE TIRED OF ALL THE SO CALLED TRADITIONALIST who are themselves taking us back.

OUR MUMU DON DO!

yes..I agree with you 100%..just like Anorld became goveri of California
sure I like charly ..but never forget that some devil incarnate policians are bent on making naija remains a banana republic to further their evil control

Lol

You are supporting Atiku because you hope he's running a single term? Chai, Igbos no sabi politics ooooo!

See, they'll pick a SW VP, that I can assure you. What they're trying to do is to dilute Buhari's support in the SW and not necessarily pacify Yorubas.

They know what they're doing. The SE is simply not reckoned with cos their votes are very predictable. Even if they don't pick a SW VP, the hatred they have for Buhari would make them vote Atiku.
