Ribadu is more marketable and strategic than Oshiomole. At least not teh Oshiomole that is now flirting with IBB. But I don't think Ribadu wioll contest against GEJ that pardoned him. |

Re: It May Be Ribadu And Oshiomhole For AC as Tinubu Drops Out . by Gbawe: 10:01am On Jul 26, 2010 |
Jarus: Agreed but Oshiomhole's inclusion on the ticket as a VP candidate is pertinent. He is from the oil-producing region. Like him or hate him, you cannot say he is not popular or that he is not a departure from the "business as usual" crew Jonathan typifies very well. At least not teh Oshiomole that is now flirting with IBB. But I don't think Ribadu wioll contest against GEJ that pardoned him. Jonathan did not "pardon" Ribadu because the former EFCC boss is not guilty of any crime in the first instance !!!! Mr. President simply did the right thing after many would have shown him that they will only back him if he moves away from Yar Adua's unfair vindictiveness. Most Nigerians did not pay attention but Ribadu spent his time in exile very constructively . Western politicians (especially in the UK and USA) love him immensely . Not many Nigerian Politicians will reject $15 million ( ) bribe and instead use it as evidence against the offender (Ibori) even as Yar Adua then failed to act. We must open our eyes in Nigeria. Ribadu can challenge Jonathan and nothing will happen . A man who has a weak political base (Jonathan) inside Nigeria will not attempt to alienate the USA , the UK and others at this stage. Already , the USA will be miffed at some of Jonathan's dubious actions. They will not tolerate unfair political vendetta against Ribadu. You will remember that Yar Adua , more or less , ostracised Nigeria from the West when he began to unfairly persecute every critic of his Government while shielding overt crooks like Ibori and OBJ from prosectution and jail . Not many Africans get to address the entire American Congress. There is no better time for Ribadu to run than now because , with his international popularity and support, the entire universe may be ready to support a man they think will tame Nigeria's biggest problem - Corruption . |

They should be replace Oshiomole with donald duke or Pat Utomi on that Ticket, Let Oshiomole continue his governorship and prove himself at that stage, cos at present he has yet to achieve much in that position, |
Re: It May Be Ribadu And Oshiomhole For AC as Tinubu Drops Out . by Duroe: 11:08am On Jul 26, 2010 |
@Moves. I agree with you, if Ribadu wants to contest, they should make Pat Utomi/Donald Duke his running mate. But we need to know what their manifestoes are, because it's not their personalities we want to 'chop', but what they have to offer. Ribadu may be popular but that does not mean he will be a good President. We know Pat utomi had attempted to contest in the past. Do they have a vision of their own that will make them to desire to be the President or just an opportunity by AC to exploit the anticipated division in PDP? I don't think we need to get our President that way. We need a President that will come out with a 'dream'--'I have a dream' No the one a political godfather will just 'put 'am there' |
Re: It May Be Ribadu And Oshiomhole For AC as Tinubu Drops Out . by Gbawe: 11:16am On Jul 26, 2010 |
Duroe: Not that simple. I don't think anyone can convince Duke and Utomi to be VP candidates to anyone since both men are fiercely nursing Presidential ambitions themselves. Also, the AC will be under pressure to produce a VP candidate who is already a Party member since Ribadu is not a member of the AC party. It is ideologically wrong for any Party to 'import' non-members for the position of President and VP. |
Re: It May Be Ribadu And Oshiomhole For AC as Tinubu Drops Out . by Moves: 1:14pm On Jul 26, 2010 |
Gbawe:I disagree, both Men can be convinced to be VP in the hope that it would place them in better stead for taking a shot at the presidency than they are at present, Duke doesn't have a party structure in place; same goes for Pat Utomi, how did their last presidential adventure fare, I prefer Utomi cause he is well regarded in the SE; SW & SS, |
Re: It May Be Ribadu And Oshiomhole For AC as Tinubu Drops Out . by Nobody: 1:54pm On Jul 26, 2010 |
Moves: Duke does not need the PDP model of party structure. He is going to run an insurgent campaign, and campaign will be formed around Organised Labour, Working People, Nollywood, University People, Young Enterpreneurs. These group of people will carry his message of change to the villages. |
Re: It May Be Ribadu And Oshiomhole For AC as Tinubu Drops Out . by naso2(m): 2:02pm On Jul 26, 2010 |
Una dey make me laugh . Oshio what? Who takes that kind of political risk in Nigeria? leave the governorship post for a Vp slot in a party that will hardly win the presidential race? Abeg make i laugh. Oshiomole will consider that only on two grounds 1. When he has exhausted his 2 maximum shots at the governorship OR 2. When forced by the party(like PDP) to drop that post. In this case A C is not that big as a party to bend oshiomole's hand. As for ribadu, though he did arguably well at EFCC, i strongly believe he is not a good candidate for the presidency. He is way too combative as an individual for that post. Just one careless utterance from him in anger will set the country ablaze. If he wants to join AC, then fine, but should be considered for jobs like ministry of works, Power etc. As for him being the president it is definitely a bad choice. QED. |

Re: It May Be Ribadu And Oshiomhole For AC as Tinubu Drops Out . by Nobody: 2:12pm On Jul 26, 2010 |
Na So I agree with you. I love Ribadu too but he is not a Presidential Material. The office of President is not for angry men, Ribadu is very combative and wears his heart on his sleeve. He will surely have good intentions but will not make a good President. |
Re: It May Be Ribadu And Oshiomhole For AC as Tinubu Drops Out . by Gbawe: 5:57pm On Jul 26, 2010 |
na_so: I think "hardly win" is a tad unrealistic if one actually looks at what is on the ground and the dynamics of events. Regardless of what we are seeing now with the so called endorsement of Jonathan by the 'North' (political jobbers IMO) Goodluck , if he becomes the PDP candidate, will understand the meaning of "treachery" and "mass abadonment". I expect that Jonathan will actually be disgraced at the ballot in the North if he runs against a popular Northerner. In the SW , as per situation on the ground currently , I see a draw. Ekiti, Oyo and Osun may be for Jonathan but Lagos, Ondo and Ogun will likely pitch their tent with Tinubu's Party. Can Jonathan then win convincingly anywhere else? Some of us don't actually understand how weak a candidate Jonathan is and we will find this out soon. Oshiomole will consider that only on two grounds Oshiomhole might actually see this as a done deal. He has , more or less , shown he believes that it is only a popular Northerner that can win with his daliance with IBB. If his own Party comes calling , with a popular and acceptable Presidential candidate , Oshiomhole might gamble because , despite what average Nigerians think, Jonathan is not a popular choice with the politicians themselves. Jonathans backing has come from mainly political mercenary who depend on politics for their existence and I will supply a report that articulates this notion. If it were those who have always spoken with a Principled voice from the North (Balarabe Musa, Col. Umar, et al) that are backing Jonathan (rather than political jobbers) I would believe that the North really " has endorsed Jonathan". Oshiomhole would not be backing a Northerner against a candidate from his region if he does not think that Project Jonathan will be a hard sell in the end. As for ribadu, though he did arguably well at EFCC, i strongly believe he is not a good candidate for the presidency. He is way too combative as an individual for that post. Just one careless utterance from him in anger will set the country ablaze. If he wants to join AC, then fine, but should be considered for jobs like ministry of works, Power etc. As for him being the president it is definitely a bad choice. QED. I only wish we will factor in how Ribadu has grown as a leader from his EFCC days before we casually dismiss him as a belligerent hothead. I attended an interactive session with him, Soyinka , Okey Ndibe and Femi Falana as speakers in the UK. Ribadu was given hell by Nigerians who felt he was partisan. Unlike our arrogant politicians (Madueke, OBJ, et al) the man did not recoil to rain abuse on us and ask that we are taken away. He took the flak and tried to be honest about his shortcomings and past failing . OBJ and many Nigerian leaders are , far more than Ribadu, prone to making incendiary and insensitive remarks that will threathen Nigeria's existence yet OBJ made it to the Presidency with some proclaiming him our "best President yet" . If some us don't fancy Ribadu it is better we say precisely that rather than continue to state that he is too combative and aggressive to be "Presidential material" when OBJ was far worse than Ribadu in respect of irresponsible talk, aggression, vinditiveness and downright dictatorial behaviour. |
Re: It May Be Ribadu And Oshiomhole For AC as Tinubu Drops Out . by Gbawe: 6:20pm On Jul 26, 2010 |
mikeansy: I keep asking myself why folks cannot see that this argument many use to dismiss Ribadu lacks historical and pertinent logic !!! Have you noticed that I have never stated that this man or that man is not Presidential material? This is because I know that in Nigeria you don't go on to be President because you are or are not "Presidential material" . It is a mix of things (sagacity, kingmaker support , political machinery, outright popularity, financial backing , etc, etc) that churns up a Nigerian President. We do not operate a merit system that facilitates the emergence of a President who is "Presidential material" otherwise we would not have gained so many poor democrat Presidents !!!! Was Shehu Shagari (a dull , charismaless and unknown school teacher) "Presidential material" in comparison to Obafemi Awolowo? Who became President between Awolowo and Shagari? Was OBJ "Presidential material" in 1999? Was dull , reclusive and charismaless Yar Adua more "Presidential" than Donald Duke when he 'won' the PDP Primaries on the way to eventually become the President of Nigeria? Like I said it is easier to state that a candidate is not our choice than to speak as if history has informed us of who can be accurately deemed "Presidential material" in unpredictable Nigeria . Anybody can be President in Nigeria in he ticks all the boxes for those who hold the aces in the battleground that churns up a Presidential victor. It is as simple as that. History has shown us that "Presidential material" means very little in Nigeria. I don't particularly think that Jonathan is Presidential material but he is our President today and he may retain his position next year if certain things align correctly for him. |

Re: It May Be Ribadu And Oshiomhole For AC as Tinubu Drops Out . by Gbawe: 6:43pm On Jul 26, 2010 |
bk/babe90: Thank you. If that could happen in the "home of democracy" I really don't see why some folks mention "Presidential material" in connection with a Nation (Nigeria) that has traditionally always 'settled' for the poorest and most unlikely choice of leaders as her President. The argument of "Presidential material" , to dismiss the chances of some candidates, is disingenous . |

ribadu /Donald duke ticket will be too formiidable for goodluck jonathan. but the problem of Nigeria is the masses when it comes to election. |
Re: It May Be Ribadu And Oshiomhole For AC as Tinubu Drops Out . by Beaf: 7:36pm On Jul 26, 2010 |
This thread is toooooooooooooooooooo funny! Imagine Oshiomole giving up his governorship for an imaginary VP post in party that has only two governors (of which, he is one)! Na rumour! The man is wiser than that BS, ANPP is a bigger party, but I doubt he will give up his governorship for a "VP" post there too. If all these micro parties want a foot in the door, they better merge into something sensible. Na wa! NL go kill pesin one day sha! |
Re: It May Be Ribadu And Oshiomhole For AC as Tinubu Drops Out . by Gbawe: 8:45pm On Jul 26, 2010 |
Beaf: Ridicule the AC all you want . That only shows that you do not understand that , for most politicians in Nigeria , Political Parties are only the means to actualise an end. Do we not see this with how politicians casually dump Parties that are their "ideological soulmate" (Atiku, et al) in a desire to move up ? Tomorrow , the AC could actually be the Party to beat if many of the Northern members of the PDP (as is rumoured) eventually settle for working , wether overtly or covertly, for the party with the strongest Northern candidate because the need to support a Northern candidate outweighs every other consideration. Did Yerima , a Nigerian lawmaker, not say that he is more respectful of the laws of Islam than that of Nigeria? Have some Northern organisations not come out to support him even if his child abuse practice is totally disgusting and deserving of condemnation by all Nigerians ? Read the article below (lenghty but worth reading) to understand the 'support' you have been shouting that Jonathan enjoys . http://www.saharareporters.com/article/jonathan-and-northern-hawks

Re: It May Be Ribadu And Oshiomhole For AC as Tinubu Drops Out . by Beaf: 8:59pm On Jul 26, 2010 |
Gbawe: . . .Yerima! I hope and pray that you don't mean the cabal members, sleaze and those who confess more allegiance to religion than their country are going to pour glory and righteousness on the AC? Next thing, Boko Haram will be legalised. So the Northern hawks that sent Ribadu into exile are going to support him as president. . . Even if pesin chop juju! . . .But I remember saying this thread is so fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunny! |
Re: It May Be Ribadu And Oshiomhole For AC as Tinubu Drops Out . by Gbawe: 9:22pm On Jul 26, 2010 |
Beaf: Good to see that you fail to comment on an incisive article to post your Yerima-focused drivel in a hasty and true-to-type attempt to discredit folks instead of discussing with them intelligently. The point which you miss , in your usual obduracy , is that some in the North feels they are duty bound to support Yerima over his despicable actions because he is their "son". With such clannishly blind support for a paedophile , what kind of backing do you reckon a deservingly popular and charismatic Northern Presidential candidate , regardless of his Party platform , will enjoy in the region against Jonathan? You post article of Jonathan's "Northern endorsement" everyday. Do you , in your own mind, genuinely believe that the North is now the bastion of progressive politics to the extent that Northerners will abandon a sagacious and popular "Son" to vote for a mediocre politician many consider an OBJ stooge and hence a dangerous gamble ? Think it over carefully and you will , despite all the politically correct utterances in the media , understand what Jonathan is really up against. |

Ikoyi, to buy a stake in an imaginary new island whose only proof of existence is a well drawn out Autocad presentation! Oshiomole would never take such a fatal risk!! Except there is a provision where he can do that and still retain his Governorship position when he loses. |

Re: It May Be Ribadu And Oshiomhole For AC as Tinubu Drops Out . by PapaBrowne(m): 9:52pm On Jul 26, 2010 |
Gbawe, you political calculations are flawed. Your reasoning is sharp, but your insight appears very limited. Many of the scenarios you've presented are political "impossicantities"!! For instance, you have failed to see to the fact that Ribadu would never work against his number one Oga- Obasanjo. I repeat-never!! Especially not now when OBJ is the strongest politician in the country. Ribadu would not dump OBJ for Tinubu whose political clout does not stretch too far beyond the fringes of Lagos. Rather than Join AC, Ribadu would probably rather work with Soyinka's new party, but definitely not as a presidential candidate. Secondly, AC cannot win the 2011 presidential elections. They don't have structures. I expect you to understand this. You need structures to win elections. For Obama to win elections he built massive structures out of young voters. Its so sad that AC is not attempting to build solid structures across the length and breath of Nigeria, despite what I think is a lot of goodwill that they should have. There is barely any AC representation in the South south except for Edo State. There is barely any AC representation in the East. APGA, PDP and PPA share the structures in the east. The North belongs to PDP and ANPP and probably CPC. Why is AC not doing anything to build structures in other states. Is it so expensive And thirdly, Jonathan and probably Ribadu also are currently the most popular politicians in the country. You appendage that Jonathan is unpopular is false. Jonathan is already very popular for doing zero. And the reason is simple- Nigerians will identify with anyone who appears to be victimized. Jonathan thrives on that and the Northern hawks have failed to see that. The more they keep fighting Jonathan, the more they solidify his fan base. |
Re: It May Be Ribadu And Oshiomhole For AC as Tinubu Drops Out . by Gbawe: 10:05pm On Jul 26, 2010 |
PapaBrowne: It may appear so to you. As I said to Mikeansy , on another thread, many of us are speaking from the perspective of what we want to happen rather than looking at what can actually happen given the reality on the ground. Most of the Progressive Politicians on the ground (including Oshiomhole) are actually declaring support for one Northern politician or the other. It is only mainly the 'rented crowd' that has come out to back Jonathan. How can anyone take Jonathan seriously when Aondoakaa (his bitter enemy only yesterday) is now his politcal campaigner today? Anyone who is pragmatic will translate this to mean that , regardless of the feel-good talk about the removal of zoning, the politicians themselves , except for desperados like Alao-Akala, still respect zoning privately even if they speak to the contrary in public. Decieving the public , rather than doing their job well, is what Nigerian politicians have always excelled at . Oshiomhole , with his support of an unpopular Northerner (IBB) , unlikely to win in 2011, is showing how the 'system' will make it hard for Jonathan to win . Is it so inconcievable to imagine that Oshiomhole might actually choose to become VP to Ribadu ? If those who really matter in the political heirarchy of Nigeria has decided that Jonathan must not win ,same as they decided OBJ must not have a third term, is Oshiomhole not then really making the right choice by becoming VP to the candidate most of the North may support in an attempt for the region to claim back the Presidency while pretending it did so without subscribing to zoning? Also , look at the calibre of progressive support behind Ribadu (Soyinka, Falana, Save Nigeria group, Liberty Forum, Okey Ndibe, etc, etc ) and the discredited , ruinous and criminal support behind Jonathan (OBJ, Danjuma, Aondoakaa , Alao-Akala, etc, etc) and it becomes obvious the candidate Nigerians will rally behind when push comes to shove. Oshiomhole might see this also - especially as , with his action of supporting IBB , we can infer that he believes that it is a Northerner that will become President next year. |
Re: It May Be Ribadu And Oshiomhole For AC as Tinubu Drops Out . by sjeezy8: 10:18pm On Jul 26, 2010 |
Depends on how you look at it- Ibb has said that PDP is his party and hes not changing any parties- If Jonathan wins PDP ticket and theres no other Northerners running as president aside from NUHU- then of course jonathan isnt winning that. I cant really speak for the whole south but I know AC- has three states votes- Lagos, Edo, Ondo( Labor party but has an alliance with AC in presidential elections) and Im sure that another state in the SW (probably Oyo) might hop on- making it atleast 4 southern state votes- Middle belt- there 5 states +1 FCT- I know for sure atleast 3 of those states will vote for NUHU if he runs- The core north - will def go for NUHU esp after being muscled out of the Zoning. [b]So honestly its up in the air. Its either vote PDP and jonathan or Vote out PDP and vote in NUHU.[/b]__________________________________________________________________ Thats if theres no rigging and free and fair election- which there probably wont be. Cause I see Jonathan as the same as OBJ. BUT DEF JONATHANS PRESIDENCY ISNT ASSURED- because if Shagari can beat Awolowo, Balewa(with Zik) beat Awo Then its DEF possible that RIBADU can beat Jonathan but I think it should be either Tinubu or Donald duke as vice president |
Re: It May Be Ribadu And Oshiomhole For AC as Tinubu Drops Out . by Gbawe: 10:29pm On Jul 26, 2010 |
PapaBrowne: Papabrowne, You should not totally focus on what obtained yesterday alone without examining what has transpired to date . OBJ is certainly not the "strongest politican in the Country at the moment" and you will see this , same as he was defeated over the third term saga , when the battle lines are drawn. Yar Adua , a weak politican according to most , totally emasculated OBJ !!! Nigerian politicans are Vultures and they will have learnt that if "weak Yar Adua " can neuter OBJ they can do it too. Where was OBJ when political lightweights like Ruma, Aliero, Muthar held Nigeria to ransom recently ? Jonathan was always OBJ's boy yet it was Yar Adua's death , more than any mythical power ascribed to OBJ, that actually saw Jonathan become substantive President !!!! The reality is that OBJ may actually be a hindrance for Jonathan with how most Nigerians now feel that anything/anyone associated with OBJ is poison that must be cut off by all means !!! As for the notion that "Ribadu would never work against his number one Oga- Obasanjo" events are actually proving you wrong as we speak. EL Rufai has come out to attack OBJ recently. Until now he was another OBJ "loyalist" many would think cannot "work against his number one Oga" . You forget that betrayal is a bi.tch. When Yar Adua began to hound the "OBJ boys" (Ribadu, El Rufai, Fani-Kayode, etc ) what did OBJ do other than , with his body language , signify to these people that they are on their own ? Ribadu , apart from avoiding OBJ like the plague these days, has new mentors and buddies (Soyinka, Falana, Okey Ndibe, Pastor Bakare, SNG, NLF, etc, etc ) of the[b] progressive variety[/b] who are sworn and unrelenting critics of OBJ. That should be the clearest signal to you that Ribadu has learnt his lesson and that he is no longer mentally shackled by a misguided sense of loyalty to someone he probably now sees as part of Nigeria's biggest headache. |
Re: It May Be Ribadu And Oshiomhole For AC as Tinubu Drops Out . by Gbawe: 10:47pm On Jul 26, 2010 |
sjeezy8: Well said. I think you should add Ogun State to those that Ribadu (if he stands) and the AC can win. OBJ and Daniels are sworn enemies despite their 'boju-boju' public display. Daniel totally understands the vindictive nature of OBJ . As one of the few men to have dared and defied OBJ publicly , Governor Daniel will know that he is finished if Jonathan and , by extension, OBJ become the 'new kids on the block' [b]with four uninterrupted years . Some folks are simply underestimating the sheer number of politicans who will come together to frustrate the emergence of a Presidency (Jonathan) that will be seen as OBJ's third term. We all saw Nigerians coming together from all zones to throw out OBJ's third term ambitions even as our former President had incumbency, limitless finance and the "endorsement of the North" ("chop your Dollar" sycophants in reality) in his favour when he wanted to usurp a term the political establishment felt he was not entitled to. Let us see how Jonathan will fare once the real action begins. |
Re: It May Be Ribadu And Oshiomhole For AC as Tinubu Drops Out . by dayokanu(m): 11:02pm On Jul 26, 2010 |
I think Ribadu should just go with an Igbo VP from the AC. The South South wont support their son as VP when they have the chance of producing a president. The South East is up for grabs and a strong person from the South East would get the votes there. Oshiomhole can use his influence to get Edo and the Tinubu/Fashola clout would capture the SW. SW- AC SS- PDP(Except Edo) South East- A VP from the South East would be the joker here. North- Ribadu being a Son of the Soil would be a difference, if he can get the support of a popular man like Buhari would make the difference |
Re: It May Be Ribadu And Oshiomhole For AC as Tinubu Drops Out . by DrKitaun(m): 11:27pm On Jul 26, 2010 |
DK we (AC) cant win the Presidential elections, lets not deceive ourselves, PDP would continue to rule at d National level for a long time whilst AC CANT EVER LOSE EKO ILE ! AC isnt ever going to use Ribadu nor is Oshiomhole in d reckoning as VICE PRESIDENT . . . AC would win in LAGOS EDO ONDO OYO EKITI Osun would be tight with the Sijuwade factor, whilst despite how Daniel and PDP have done themselves in, AC doesnt seem to have a candidate that will fit into d zoning debacle they have found themselves. |
Re: It May Be Ribadu And Oshiomhole For AC as Tinubu Drops Out . by dayokanu(m): 11:31pm On Jul 26, 2010 |
WHo would be the AC governorship aspirants in the South Western State. Also you cant really say about Ondo because Mimiko seemed to have a stronghold on the place with his labour party. Kit, Its not about winning all the time, Its about making a statement, The non challant attitude of AD in the 2003 elections was what pushed them out into political irrelevance. Awo probably knew he couldnt win with UPN in 1979 but he made a statement with it. Yorubas would always run for the presidency. Not presenting a Presidential candidate might mean you are satisfied with the status quo and your party has no Ideology |
