Can your compare Atiku with Umahi?

Yes I can

But in a real sense has PDP ever pick any region or anybody as their presidential candidate?

Pls let us reason properly biko. Unahi has bever be in PDP in his heart. Was this frog looking man not the first governor in SE to openly supported Fulani herds killers? Why do people forget things so quick? Umahi is a liar a bloody liar indeed he is not fighting for Igbo he is Fulani boy fighting to please his fulani sheriff in Aso Rock end of story.

He has never hide his love for apc and buhari so I'm not buying his fake reason.

Umahi is a betrayal fat liar. Let him go to apc I can bet it this is another political miscalculation again by the SE, life or death apc can never and will never zone presidency to SE they will use him and dump him. Mark my words.

They are all slaves

Umahi will not get half of the vote Peter got in the East. Did you know why PDP won almost all senatorial position and rep in the East in 2019. I still support Umahi PDP should zone it's presidency to East or all major Eastern PDP strong men will move to APC let's see how PDP will win Presidential election is they lose their strongest block which is the south East

OfficialAwol:
Umahi is just being a politician.

He should understand that PDP needs to be more strategic than emotional in 2023. So it's not a question of who deserves the PDP presidential ticket but a question of who will win the presidency for PDP.

But I understand he must be raising this dust to cut deals with PDP. At least he wants to be assured of VP position.

Baba is scared that PDP is most likely to represent the Atiku/Obi ticket in 2023.

He wants Obi dropped and himself picked.

Believe me, if Atiku had picked him 2019, he would have moved heaven and hell to ensure they win.

I hate self centered politicians like Umahi.

Do you know what is called vote aparty?

tyup:
PDP's folly/fall would be giving the VP ticket to the SE, they're bound to Fail if they do that

Their sure winning would come from a mixture of North/SW. SS/SE would wanna do away with anything Buhari so they have little or no choice but to vote PDP. I repeat a North/SE is a no no for us

Fact. He is nobody in the East

nzeobi:

Does he have the contacts that Atiku have. Bet me umahi will not even win primaries conducted by among only South easterners in any party.

Useless people we got as leaders.

AmazingELixir:



Was it not because of presidential ambition that led to the defection of the former speaker of the house of representatives Hon. Yakubu Dogara...I foresee problems in APC Immediately Buhari's tenure elapse.

If only these bunch know that by 2023 the youths are taking complete control of the polity.

Both APC & PDP have failed the country

It is naive youths like you, who never educate themselves about how politics operate in their own country, who will ignorantly delude themselves that youths are taking over in a 'new Party' free of APC and PDP influence.

If one protest that was hijacked by secessionists, politicians, saboteurs and organised criminal is what is making folks like you talk arrogantly as you do, instead of putting in the hard work to build sagacious youth political players and platforms, then you are in for a big shock in 2023.

You guys will be free to form your independent youth Party and Present Falz, Runtown, Davido, Wizkid, Adeshina or whoever you settle on as your candidate. Let see if your candidate will have the money, clout and influence to mobilize from the grassroot better than Moghalu, Sowore or Hashim Olawepo achieved in 2019.

You guys must have been on Mars not to know that Ribadu was a young candidate (49 years old) when he ran to be President in 2011. How well did you youths back or supported him then?

You will have the displeasure of watching your candidate come in at tenth place with less than 3% of total votes cast in 2023 since you think elections na moi moi in Nigeria. Just show up, be a youth and win lol.

SS/SE Representative Speaker I hear you.

please always learn to speak for yourself at all times.

APC till 2031, then if you want to kiss your street Transformer, it's gonna be your damn luck

Umahi is overrated.
He did his job. His predecessors did not or fell short of basic expectations.
Until we start assessing these politicians dispassionately on performance, mediocres like Umahi will bestride the scene like barely clothed emperors. Besides, he is a budding autocrat, if his utterances during his tenure are anything to go by ; he threatens journalists and abuses critics with abandon. Imagine were he in the Presidency. Let his successor audit Umahi's administration before we pass judgement. In the meantime, he should pay his dues on the national scene by enlightening Nigerians on his views about a range of subjects. Nigeria is not Ebonyi State.

OneTemplate:


Read properly. I said influential and sagacious leaders and strategists. Those in the APC, including the names I mentioned, are all visible, charismatic and sagacious leaders whose influence will grow more before 2023.

You are the poor analysts, a sentimental one too, if you think this protest damages what Tinubu brings and his stupendous reach, machinery and influence that spans the entire political field of Nigeria.

No need to argue. Simply bookmark this page because your kind are sentimental and emotional so you will never agree with argument you dont emotionally or sentimentally align with.

I gave you instances of how the faired in 2019 elections and you are talking of protest and emotions huh.
Let face facts

APC or PDP issa still a North thing

So both PDP or APC till 2050 nothing spoil

derbykol:
VP

So buhari will leave his long time allies like Ogbonnaya onu, Chris ngige, and others to choose him as VP.

Umahi does not have nationwide political value. He join APF or APC, I do not give a ratass.

Bros, no wahala. 2023 is around the corner. Let's pray God spare us all till then.

Gov Umahi is day dreaming. He thinks the Fulani people will give him president. He should learned from Akpabio who was deceived to leave PDP with promises of senatorial position and later dumped.
Mark my word,APC will disintegrate by 2023 because it is not a party founded on ideology but a mere Assembly of strange bedfellows with different objectives. Gov Umahi is driven by greed and not in the interest of his people. He will be like a fish on dry sand soon.

nzeobi:
Umahi wants to contest for president and if he believes he can win the APC ticket even as a new comer then he is a fool when many gladiators in APC are already battling and tackling each other.

Umahi may be using 2023 prrsidential ambition as an excuse to leave the dubious party He knows that he stands a slim chance.

nzeobi:

Thanks for the sincerity here.

Kyase:

Atiku won, 6 months into the party (pdp)

And Atiku = Umahi

peacekante:


The PDP has taken us for granted despite giving them 21 years loyalty. It is time for us to try something new. Fani Kayode talking will soon dump PDP and join APC. Even Wike to despite saying he is not igbo in this video will definitely dump PDP some day.

In your warped mentality when you saw youth in my mention wizkid, Davido and co readily resonate in your head because you don't see beyond the confines of closed looped instinct.

Incase you don't see it yet there is an awakening the Nigerian youths which cut across all cadre and works of life disgruntled by the state of affairs like never before feel the need to change the status quo this position reverberate and reechoes even to a good measure of the older generation.

The Endsars protestations started from nothing but gained traction nationwide an indication of the salient fact that when true change comes it operates like a tsunami.

If your ilks want to remain in the past , it is your prerogative but do that alone and don't remind me of the past that all well meaning Nigerians so desperately want to forget.

The only hindrance to that change is the electoral system, once the reforms are effected as contained in the bill still under consideration...then brace up for that tsunami because the way you sound I'm very sure you'll be hanging to a palm tree in the middle of nowhere when the change come full circle.

Please dont wait your time on the ignoramuses. Many of them are just teenagers that know nothing about the politics of their country other than wasting their time on social media with their fake phones. They are just bunch of lads that know next to nothing

This is the man they said pulls all the shots in PDP....I am not impressed. He doesn't sound very intelligent and in 7minutes he said the same thing over 4 times. Is he that poor in knowledge?

Give me Amaechi! The guy is smart n knowledgeable.

Wike has destroyed the party with his Igbophobic tendencies. Umahi don jump ship after collecting his money to tell him what he want him to tell Igbos.

Wike is now officially liability.

You're right bro. Just irritating to read their comments though. Some of us certainly want younger candidates but tragic to read from Nigerian youths to then realise how ignorant, unintelligent, unprepared and lacking in knowledge many are.

It can never be a case of youth for the sake of youth alone. We have the likes of Yahaya Bello (Governor at 39) to remind us of the folly of this thinking and the danger of age discrimination over established record of achievement. Biden is 77 for crying out loud.

The same mumuism and ignorance led some young Nigerians to their demise when compromised and paid fellow youths 'organisers of the protests (fans and agents of Atiku in reality) played them into protesting for 'good governance' while those same organisers had money paid in their account CBN has now flagged as 'suspicious deposits' .

How come majority of the youth organizers of the protests are die-hard and rabid fans of Atiku yet they are agitating for good governance and for youths to be given a chance?

Is Atiku a youth at 74 or someone anyone can push as an unwavering pillar of good governance or change?

God save ignorant Nigerian youths from themselves and spare them early, senseless and needless death from the many monsters out there waiting to devour them.

Come 2023 but pdp and apc are sacked

That was sarcasm yet I am not surprised you can't fathom it. Look, cut a long story short.

Bring whoever you want to run as the Presidential candidate of your new and all-conquering Party for 2023.

You will learn the same lesson about the peculiarities of Nigerian elections, and her electorate, that the likes of Ribadu, Kingsley Moghalu, Hashim Olawepo, Sowore etal have learnt the hard and bitter way.

Okay, let me school your ignorance. Shebi 2019 only old men ran because you ignorant and politically illiterate Nigerian youths only know Buhari and Atiku ba?

Well, below is the result of the 2019 election so you see what APC and PDP polled and what the rest polled together. I have also included a shortened list, as full one is too long, of 'old men' candidate you and gazillions of Nigerian youths never bothered to vote yet you now want us to believe what is exposed below will change within three years for some "youth choice" to win in 2023. Goodluck. May the almighty spare us all.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Nigerian_general_election

More Nigerian Presidential candidates Nigerian youths shunned and disgraced because they were all " too old" while they opted for teenagers Buhari and Atiku. Lol.

Of course. Audio sack only youthful ignorance and overdosing on worthless social networking celeb news makes some misguided, lazy, misinformed, daydreaming Nigerians believe to be possible.

Oga, promising young Nigerians, contesting under neither the PDP or APC, did not begin running to become President today only to be soundly rejected by the same youths now shouting emptily that "youths are taking over in 2023". See for yourself. Use the link below and click results. We dey laff.

OK so now we are going back to the Fulani under Atiku obi tickets? We are still going to the North after insulting Buhari for giving appointment up north? So what is the difference between Buhari and PDP? But u love pdp you are OK with it but as you hate Buhari his own is the wrong one right.. Igbo land will continue to suffer with urchins like you who do not value or are patriotic to Igboland and its wellbeing.. I think we might hate Buhari but he is a patriotic citizen to his people and his country which I see at the moment no igbo governor is about from umahi who is trying to make Igbos count for something but guess what your small change you receive from wadata plaza will make you insult him and try to paint him black because of a decision that will give value to your children.. You are a hypocrite and esau who sells his birthright for peanuts.. Tufiakwa

kahal29:
Femi Fani-Kayode, former minister of aviation has warned the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, over the planned defection of Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

There are reports that Umahi is planning to dump the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the ruling party.

Fani-Kayode, reacting, said he is yet to confirm the news but described Umahi’s rumoured defection to APC as troubling.

According to him, other governors may join Umahi to defect to the APC which will affect the party’s chances of winning the 2023 presidential election.

The PDP Chieftain on his Twitter page wrote: “The rumour that my friend and brother Gov. David Umahi of Ebonyi state is planning to leave @OfficialPDPNig and join @OfficialAPCNg is troubling.

“I am yet to confirm if it is true and I will see him in the next few days to know the true position of things but if it is then I urge the leadership of the PDP to do all they can to ensure that he stays. Not only is he a profoundly good man and an excellent Governor but his contributions to the success of the PDP over the last 20 years at various levels is immeasurable and simply extraordinary.

“ Apart from that he happens to be a good friend of mine and someone I hold in high esteem, immense respect and affection for. Unlike many he is forthright and his word is his bond. He is either with you or against you, he is fearless, bold and has the courage of his convictions.”

Fani-Kayode further called on the National Chairman of PDP, Uche Secondus to do everything within his power to persuade Umahi to stay at the party.

“What makes the matter worse is that other Governors may also contemplate leaving if he does because he has a lot of friends and goodwill amongst them.

“If that happens it will affect our party’s chances in the 2023 presidential election in a very significant way.

“Again I call on the National Chairman and the NWC of our great party to do all they can to keep Umahi on board.

“He is one of our brightest and best and losing him to the APC would be a monumental error and great tragedy,” he stated.

Fani-Kayode added that the PDP needs Umahi as he is a great asset to the opposition party.

“ The fact of the matter is that we need him just as we need everyone else and petty divisions and internal wranglings at this crucial time do not help us.

“Umahi is a great asset to the party and a source of strength and inspiration to the rank -‘d file right across the country,” his tweet added.

https://dailypost.ng/2020/11/12/more-governors-may-dump-pdp-with-gov-umahi-fani-kayode-warns/

ffk will soon beg for a parking spot in APC . watch

As long as the Secondus NWC is in charge PDP will continue to haemorrhage support.
They have cast a blanket of hopelessness on the party and should be politely handed their hats.
