The day i confirm that the BB team has anything to do with either OBJ or IBB, my vote, my families' votes and my friends' votes will be lost by Buhari. If what is narrated is true, it consolidates my resolve to vote for and campaign more for the BB ticket. The root cause of the corruption in government today is Godfatherism! |

Has anybody on this thread consider the fact that Buhari might feel intimidated in the presence of Iweala and he may not always have his way if he chose her. |

Re: Buhari Rejected Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala As Running Mate by PeeDaVinci: 12:31pm On Mar 30, 2011 |
woodcook: actually on the contrary, iweala is soft-spoken and may not always have her way with buhari, and in a country where the post of vp is constitutionally ceremonial, she may be forced to resign by being made redundant. and that is what make bakare better - bakare can fight buhari if buhari is going "wayward" |
Re: Buhari Rejected Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala As Running Mate by MaiSuya(m): 12:32pm On Mar 30, 2011 |
Anybody going into any deal with OBJ or IBB must be a desperate office seeker--and there are plenty of them, by the way-- for whom principles mean nothing. Or they must be insane. |
Re: Buhari Rejected Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala As Running Mate by ideylaff: 12:32pm On Mar 30, 2011 |
No mind that Baba jare, OBJ that does not listen to anyone now wants someone to listen to him, LOL Is this not the same Okonjo Iweala that OBJ disgraced by faxing over her appointment letter as Extremal Affairs Minister to the Embassy in London because she was in London (OBJ's excuse), OBJ could not even phone her to tell her in person. Even her father confirmed this. |

@ sammhi and Buhari Boys, Come to Ibadan and celebrate with me when Buhari takes over on May 29. I admire the man for his principle. Changing the VP now wold have cost him the presidency. The same people who advised him would have turned round to accuse him of spinelessness. Anyway, an advise from OBj to Buhari now is like drinking Gallic. @ Beaf. You have finally found your voice. What is your take on your IGs order that we should not take phones to polling boots. An order that has been sent to where it belongs, the trash bin. |

The story serves to confirm something. You cannot separate the people in Nigeria from the issues facing Nigeria. Some are so deluded to think that we have one holy superhero that doesn't talk to the rest of them sinners!!! Hey wake up. Everybody you see up there is connected one way or the other. Buhari, IBB, OBJ etc attend meetings together. They discuss issues like men. They do not have to be childish in keeping malice. They have more in common than we can ever know. |

This notion that Buhari rejected Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is quite suspicious. Other sources claim that it was Ngozi herself who turned down each offer of VP to here. Here is an account given by Ribadu:

woodcook: This is a likely scenerio, given religious, cultural, and tribal divide plaguing our nation. However, it points to Buhari's lack of self confidency as a modern politician. |

el_cij: Why do people think the fact that one is a technocrat, well educated and has integrity means one wil not be interested in political office when offered on a platter of gold? Think AKUNYULI, SOLUDO, FEMI PEDRO By the way, there is little you can contribute as vice president. The Nigerian constitution does not state the assign any responsibility to the VP apart from those delegated to him by the president. The choice of VP is to win votes |

The same Okonjo-Iweala that Ribadu approached? And she declined? Does OBJ think every Nigerian is his puppet? Please have a rethink! Nigeria is too big for one man to think he can be pulling strings across different party. Buhari is right within his own capacity to reject such proposals. No matter what you people say: BB hurricane will wipe away all these cabals that now sit as high and might in Nigeria! BB2011!!! |
Re: Buhari Rejected Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala As Running Mate by jedisco(m): 1:16pm On Mar 30, 2011 |
I really foot think buhari knows politics. Teaming up with this lady and combining with acn and possibly apga would give buhari a truly nationalistic party which has structures in all regions. Also getting some rich men 2 support him with funds would really help afterall the incumbent has the richest nigerians on his list. Doing the above may not make him win but will certainly cause a re-run and atleast people like me would be voting for him |
Re: Buhari Rejected Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala As Running Mate by efisher(m): 1:17pm On Mar 30, 2011 |
Those waiting for Buhari to take over and then lock every other "corrupt" person in jail should keep dreaming on. This is not a military coup. It is an election. People like Buhari are made for coups not elections. Elected people do not lock people up indiscriminately. The legal system does the job. Buhari does not have the handle of such democratic tools. Those boxers in Senate will use him to clean the floor silly. GEJ or Ribadu and the rest of them young guys may look weak but they have a better handle of the modern governance tools than the old man. On a lighter note, if he is indeed intimidated by people like Okonjo-Iweala, how will he fare when Zeinab Badawi* of hardtalk starts drilling him. * Edited |

The PDP big shots hope to derail the progress of the nation by springing up rumors and falsehood and all Right thinking people will not be deterred, when we take over the reins of government on May 29, please feel free to hop over the border. |

[size=13pt]Former President Obasanjo had told Mallam Nasir el-Rufai to convince Buhari to substitute Bakare with Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and that if that was done, both he and Babangida would mobilize support for the Buhari campaign[/size]. Am I the only one that did not miss the Obasanjo connection of this story?? Obasanjo again? And we want someone else to link to the same old goon?? @OP, I am sorry but I don't see the sense in carrying an Okonjo Iweala along in this just to make some ibos happy -- not all Ibos will be happy with such by the way. Also, Are you telling me that we need another Obsanjo connection in this nation? Isn't it bad enough to Ribadu is still seen by many as an Obasanjo boy? Do we really need this same man making decisions for our leaders?? Is Okonjo Iweala more qualified in some way than the current man picked?? Is you say yes, I ask how? You all sang praises of Akunyili and look how that turned out for Nigeria - - where is her rebranding nonsense? Where is NTA doing with digital, abi na HD? How is Nigerian communication working out?? Yet, in that same-- if we had left her where her star shone the best, NAFDAC for still dey shine better today. |

[size=14pt]DON'T LET THOSE IGBO BOYS DECIEVE YOU, NGOZI IWEALA IS JUST A HOUSE WIFE IN WASHINGTON. WORLD BANK KO, WORLD BANK NI, PROBABLY SHE DID HER INTERNSHIP ONE SUMMER IN THE WORLD BANK, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE POSITION DON BECOME HER OWN PERMANENTLY. WHY ARE PEOPLE SO GULLIBE. HAVING SAID that, ALL THAT HYPE ABOUT AGANGA TOO is un-cessary the guy is just a regular guy in the bank getting £30,000.00 per annum, I DON'T BELIEVE HE IS ONE OF the HIGH FLYING CASH GRABBERS IN THAT BANK, in any case it is poverty stricken countries like Nigeria, India AND MANY OTHER 3RD WORLD COUNTRIES that make a big deal about the world bank . I have not for one day read or seen an over excitment in the UK over matters concerning the WB. You make ask me why, because the UK is one of the major donours to that bank's funds and the British people see the funds going to the WORLD BANK AS an un-necessary irritatant bureacracy that they can't stop because of their guranteed foreign commitments.[/size] |

Owners of this site are obviously biased against Buhari and pro GEJ no doubt. I really wish Utomi could win though |
Re: Buhari Rejected Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala As Running Mate by Afam4eva(m): 1:40pm On Mar 30, 2011 |
What's this thread about again? When did Igbo enter all this. At least the thread was opened or let's say stolen by Seun, the owner of nairaland. So some of you won't have the excuse that's he's Igbo masking as a yoruba boy. |
Re: Buhari Rejected Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala As Running Mate by debosky(m): 1:40pm On Mar 30, 2011 |
Let's for one second believe this fantasy story is actually true. Why would Buhari EVER believe anything that came from OBJ's mouth? Was OBJ not Buhari's opponent in 2003 he rigged the elections so badly Rivers had 1110% turnout and votes for PDP? Was OBJ not beside Jonathan in Lagos proclaiming him as the president already since PDP never loses presidential elections? Was OBJ not calling Yardie from naija when he was sick in the 2007 elections while opposing Buhari? All of a sudden OBJ wants to suggest a candidate for Buhari so he can shift support to him? Was it not the same OBJ that moved Okonjo-Iweala out of the finance ministry and made her useless in foreign affairs simply because she was getting too powerful? Now he'd support her as VP for an opposition party? Is it not this same Okonjo-Iweala that clearly turned down any participation in the elections? It will take someone of extremely low intelligence to seriously believe this story had any goodwill or true 'support' from OBJ behind it. PS - the battle lines are drawn - Admin is pro-GEJ, some of his mods are pro-BB. |
