This is Naija

Even when they know they can't win presidential election for now.

chigozie2018:
Former Governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke, has emerged presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) for the 2019 general elections.

According to NAN, Duke polled 812 votes to defeat his close rival, former Minister of Information, Prof. Jerry Gana, who polled 611 votes at the party’s National Convention held at Old Parade Ground, Abuja.

The Convention Returning Officer, Dr Abdul Isiaq, declaring the results of the presidential primary election at the early hours of Sunday, said Mr. John Dara, former Special Assistant to Lt. General Theophilus Danjuma, former Defence Minister, scored 104 votes.

He also announced that former Ambassador and former Minister, Prof. Iyorwuese Hagher

polled 72 votes; former Ambassador, Felix Osakwe scored 10 votes, while the number of invalid votes was 63.

Duke in his acceptance speech, described his emergence as collective victory for all aspirants that participated in the contest, as well for the party and the nation.

He said that primary was just a step in the contest, saying he will go through the nation to campaign and sell the party and it’s polices to citizens.

Duke called for the support of all aspirants, the party officials and Nigerians to win 2019 general election, saying “we will reawaken in Nigerians that yearning that we are destined to be, but we cannot do this alone.”

He said that Nigeria was not a divided nation but a country of common purpose.

“What divides us is inadequacy and wants, because in the face of this survival of the fittest comes in, which ought not to be so because there is more than enough for everyone.”

He said if Nigerians were productive and abide by rules and regulations, the nation would grow from strength to strength.

“This is what good governance is all about and that is what I stand for,” he added.

These ones just want to spoil the apc and pdp votes like omisore did in osun. People should just face apc and pdp alone.

I tell you, average Nigerian is an idiot!

They would rather vote for an armed robber or an incompetent illiterate from a 'big' party or 'ruling party' than vote for a credible and competent person from a smaller or new party!

That's one of the reasons it will be difficult for this nation to progress.

The day we stop the idea of voting for people just because of the bigness and popularity of their party or because of their tribe but vote for people with integrity and sound ideas who would put the interest of the nation and future generations above all selfish interest, that's the day Nigeria will be on it's way to greatness.

frenzyduchess:
this would not have been an issue if the electorate were more concerned about voting a credible candidate than looking for big parties that can give them 1k when they present their white handkerchief .

Until we look beyond big party names we will keep recycling old thieves who have hijacked the mandate of big parties.

I for one believe he will make a fine president, but majority of the electorate are not concerned about that, I guess rice and money is more important

I want a Nigerian verified AdSense account to buy

Shortyy:
You had a better chance of winning this presidential election if you had gone to any of the ruling parties. I'm not in support of any of the ruling parties ofcoz, but as long as you've got something to offer, it's all good.

Are You Even A Nigerian? You'd Do Betther In The Romance Section Pls...

he may eventually be d main challenger to APC. remember Buhari, while in CPC a new party was d main challenger to PDP, while d likes of defunct ANPP were no where near PDP.
let us team up n vote Duke of SDP

The 'Osun Situation' will repeat itself in 2019. SDP, ANN, ADP and other smaller Parties will take away votes from the APC and PDP in the Presidential elections , thereby creating a scenario of a possible rerun. PDP needs to be wiser this time around and ensure they are not rigged out by APC or forcibly made to lose an election they won .

May thunder kill Jerry can Gana for even attempting to contest for elections. That old piece of shiit, corrupt scumbag who wants to entrench themselves in politics forever.

Guys, we now have a competent contestant now. We must get it right in 2019. All hands must be on deck to vote Duke in

At the end of the day, he will be count as nothing but one of the "Also Ran".

Sai Baba, now and forever!!!

Them no get photos from their primaries.

op abeg wc side residential ticket d guy win,me self wan go try my luck dia.Residential ticket ko permanent stay visa ni

Lol

nnachukz:
These guys are just playing the spoiler (Omisore politics), they know they can't win. Let's just join hand together to remove this tyrant in Aso Rock first.

Who tells you they can't win..the Elites should support people who have the mind and the brain to turn the nation around for good .

Exercise in futility

You won't get more than 10k votes. Waste of time.

Notice me Presidential candidate . Like I said with Sowore, Nigeria is not mature as a nation for someone like Duke. Let him just create awareness and hope that some magic happens to change Nigerians.

Duke effed up. This 2019 would have been a good opportunity to announce his weight in the ring of national politics despite knowing he cannot win in 2019,but joining a political party that can't do this for him was a mistake

If Nigerians were all educated and intelligent it wouldn't have mattered. The educated masses will always know who to vote for no matter which party you belong. When you set up an online people like Duke will win it because majority of those who take part in these online polls come from the educated class. Sad truth is that the uneducated folks are the ones deciding election outcomes in Nigeria. As long as the masses are not educated this country will never advance.

base on our political precedence, they can't win.

I beg to differ sir. Nigerian politics is not about education; it goes beyond that . Nigerian politics is embedded in two evils : religion and tribalism . You might be educated and qualified for the job of being president , but your religion and tribe will still mar your chances of being picked .

In a country filled with TRULY educated people religion and tribalism wouldn't be an issue. You get it?

What is SDP please? Mr Duke you fvcked up big time. You had a better chance of winning this presidential election if you had gone to any of the ruling parties. I'm not in support of any of the ruling parties ofcoz, but as long as you've got something to offer, it's all good. But you went to an unknown party, now tell me How'd you win? Err Duke?

idiot like you are the problem naija is facing. are you voting for the party or for the person?

[quote author=Valro post=71860527][/quote] I think you should replace "wrong party " with suitable words like "unpopular or small or non-money sharing " .

Personally I think the bulk of the problem of electing power drunk thieves lie with the ignorant electorate . Even the so called educated ones choose to be political blind or feign ignorance after being influenced by tribe ,religion and even greed.

In a sane society his moving to SDP would have given him a level ground just like every other flag bear from the so called "big political parties" but you and I know this part of the continent is far from being sane. Enjoy your Sunday.

I tire ooo .. when some people Dey get 14million vote for Primaries.. SDP winner Dey get 800 votes

Like who? who got 14m votes? jesting won't get you anywhere; how many votes did Saraki get?

Idiot is an understatement. They are the most foolish set of people with the lowest IQ to say the least. Thank you for this post and I love you so much for this (no homo things). The kind of leaders we have are a reflection of the mindset of Nigerians. We get what we deserve. Nigerians are not mentally mature to get things right. They want progress but their narrow mindedness will never allow them see clearly. We have Duke, a candidate with proven track record but they will still vote for people that will prolong their anguish while enriching themselves. How else does the average Nigerian want breakthroughs when they keep voting people with no vision? Let them keep voting Atiku, Buhari, Saraki etc. As for me, I am processing my Canadian visa.

These are the Omisore of 2019 wey go divide votes of some state and eventually give some persons upper hand.

As a governor,he changed his state,
What has Apc done for Nigeria?
Donald Duke is the only qualified candidates,
He has proved himself as a governor.
He has a good record.

Buhari claims to have gotten 14m votes in the just concluded unopposed presidential primaries of the APC

These guys are after Buhari's accommodation? I didn't know his accommodation was also part of the tickets being challenged for.

There votes joined together is not even up to Atiku's vote in PdP. SdP is going no where. No followers. Just preparing for the future.
