Buhari is just a very lucky man. Each new day throw up favorable political occurences.

I thought we yorubas claim we don't put all our eggs in one basket, and insult Ibos for doing exactly that?

Why are we yorubas trying to put all our eggs in dying APC party that is already on it's way out.

emerged01:
Yoruba should not expect anything from PDP. We have been there before so no need to be there again. It's better we with stick with APC.

So why were we asking for PDP VP slot, was it just to spite Ibos?

BMC inspired propaganda thread with the sole intentions of causing disaffection!

this is like counting ur chic b4 it is hash .this kind of agitation can even mak atiku to lose

Sw does not need Atiku/pdp positions.

We don't need anything from Atiku or PDP. We rather stick to Buhari/Apc who has given us VP and all juicy minister. I rep Omoluabi. quote author=odiks post=73306401]Southsouth is lobbying for Secretary to the Government of the Federation( SGF) from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

With the development, the Southwest, which is demanding the SGF’s seat, may lose out if PDP and Atiku bow to the Southsouth pressure.

Atiku has promised to concede the position to the Southwest as re-echoed recently by ex-Governor Gbenga Daniel, who was the Director-General of the now disbanded Atiku Campaign Organisation.

Some Southsouth leaders and ex-militant leaders in the Niger Delta are behind the lobbying.

They believe no other post could assuage their marginalisation than the SGF slot, The Nation learnt.

The leaders, especially the former Niger Delta warlords, are said to be insisting that they will not play second fiddle if PDP returns to power in 2019.

Their position is said to be the outcome of a recent meeting between some South-South opinion leaders and ex-militant coordinators.

A source, who spoke in confidence, said: “We have a fresh challenge at hand because the Southsouth wants the SGF slot in a move which may alter pre-primaries negotiation with the Southwest.

“This demand from the Southsouth is part of the intrigues surrounding the ongoing horse-trading in PDP. Every geopolitical zone is interested in what PDP and Atiku will offer it.


“So far, neither the PDP nor Atiku has been forthcoming on the positions to concede to the South-South.

“What the South-South leaders are saying is that they will not wait till after the election before knowing PDP’s and Atiku’s plans for their zone. And it is more complex because ex-militant leaders are collaborating with respected leaders from the Niger Delta in this latest agitation.”

Atiku’s camp, however, said it is too early to jostle for positions when a big battle is ahead.

One of Atiku’s strategists, Mr. Phrank Shuaibu, said: “The party has already done its zoning and that was why it’s presidential candidate came from the north. The candidate does not intend to alter the decision of the party unless the party decides otherwise.

“We regard these remarks as permissible conjectures, allowable agitations or gambits that can be used for negotiations, particularly now that it is becoming obvious by the day that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the PDP is a clear favourite to win the 2019 presidential election.

“However, the truth of the matter remains that it is still early in the day to firmly allocate certain sensitive positions at the national level when the real battle ahead is to defeat and dismiss President Muhammadu Buhari and his APC Government at the centre.

“The discussions on the issue of power sharing and ethnic balancing are an evolving conversation and negotiation. Nothing is static or written in gold or even cast in stone.

“ Realistically, it is the party leadership that will have the final say on such matters and discussions are ongoing.”

Nigerians are gullible. What has vp osinbajo from sw done specifically for sw? We scream one nigeria yet play politics of tribalism and bigotry. It is better we divide as long as we play tribalistic politics

What he has done is to convert the official office of the vice president to Afonja community town hall, that's all they do there speak their dialect all day in their usual loud manner.

If he is not chairing a community meeting he goes round the country speaking big grammar while the nepotic king goes about unabated in entrenching the Fulani caliphate by appointing his kins men to head practically all federal government parastatals of importance.

Even before reading I suspected that this story is from Tinubu paper The Nation and I was not disappointed

rxmusa:
Mtsw! Southwest don't need any SGF when they already have VP and other key appointments.

Keep deceiving yourselves

So how has those key appointments benefitted your life? Or what have u gained from osibanjo as a vp? Brainless afonja

what do you expect me to say bro?

Even south south no longer trusts atiku. Where will he get his bloc votes from?

A whole region being politically naive would be a disaster. Never count your money till the game is done. For all those shouting SW does not need SGF, repeat that statement by January 2019 then I will believe you.

If the military men and other forces will reject buhari...then he should forget it. I was surprise when I heard a police man saying we r tired of this man. Hmm the suffering even affected them. God will help us all. This tribalistic man must go

Good question
1) Lagos ibadan express road construction going at a commendable speed
2) Lagos ibadan fast rail track to be operational First quarter 2019
3) Lagos abeokuta road construction on an overdrive to be completed next year
4)Apapa express road construction kicking off now all the way to the former toll gate at 7up
5) Ikorodu Shagamu express road dualisation presently ongoing
6) Handing over of the National Stadium, Airport road and State house marina to Lagos state
7)Repayment of over #50b owed Lagos state for work done on federal roads just last week


I can go on and on just taking Lagos not even other SW.
SW has NEVER had it this good in terms of federal government intervention and projects, you must think we are dummies to leave that for SGF that isn't even sure. Take it or leave it SW is on lockdown for APC

sagio09:
Chaiii dix lyf. Atiku don start to dey share post even b4 election don hold(Atiku is really desperate) . He's even seeing himself as the winner. How can i even be d vice president, holding various strategic ministerial nd MDGs posts, being among those dictating nd steering the current affairs of the Nation nd also having a clear cut of being the president by 2023 through APC nd still support any oda party for mere *SGF. This is an insult to those who have brain nd the yoruba nation at large.

Did you just called SGF a mere post? I bet you don't know how important that post is. Though i don't know much about how strong it is at federal level but an SSG in a state is more powerful than Deputy Gov go and make your confirmation. Forget abt the ranking stuff.

So because you are a slave outside Nigeria we here shouldn't vote leaders improving the quality of our lives

YOU aren't even qualified to comment on this topic your ignorance is legendary.


Akudaya Omo ale

People keep shouting corruption but take their eyes off it’s more potent cousin- tribalism.

Tribalism is Nigeria’s number 1 enemy, and then corruption having fed fat on tribalism, and lastly religion

Not sure how we are gonna get out of this triangle.

However, we can start with entrenching equal rights and justice, and gradually (gradually underlined) foster true federal system that would force every state / region to put their best foot forward at all times. Then corruption would lose support.

Any SW person that votes for the satanic & demonic PDP should be flogged mercilessly & thrown into the canal! If the dumb, shameless thief wins, the SW will be mercilessly taunted by the drug-peddling Igbos regardless of whether the SW votes the thief or not! The SW should be wise!

Dont say wat u dont know pls. I know what i'm saying, i'm working at the office of the Attorney General of the Federation so i know the precedence hierarchy. U can never compare the Vice president with S.G.F.

Lol. Tinubus the Nation propaganda newspaper wants to missinform Yorubas. the Fact is only the V.P and the Presidency have been shared. The South West will get the Senate Presidency whike the North west gets speakers position.

Will most of you support Atiku if he had chosen someone from SW or NC as VP candidate?
You only shout tribalism when it's not in your favour, but you desire all the perks of tribalism, you even in insist on ibo presidency or SE time, but to you others must not do it.
