Musa showed his hands and picked his side. No President will pick him unless they are on the same side. In the game of loyalty, you have to be with me 100%, even 90% is not enough.


I don't see why these things should surprise people. This is elections and there must be interests, personal or collective. You don't expect to railroad with everybody nodding like agama, you must lobby, fight, coerce to see that you get ahead. The Governors are in their rights to push it but Salihu Lukman who El-Rufai nominated will keep shut when Nasir picked Sani but want to delineate rights to Buhari.

Personally, I don't think he should pick a Governor, they are ruthless in their own dealings so they have no morality to approach the President. This is normal with Buhari, send a kite, allow everyone start scrambling, then travel, return, call a meeting, make a pick, then appeal to them. Buhari has long picked his Choice and is only trying to scatter everywhere before coming in as if he is trying to calm the situation. Buni/Bello, Musa/Adamu, Giadom/Oshiomhole....the tactics has remained same.


The competency of Ministers are mostly dependent on their Principal. We saw performing Governors go to Buhari's cabinet, speaking grammar and gesticulating.


Which State are you from?
I want to check something! I want to know how your Governor picked the Party's Candidate. Let them advise the President and that's where it ends.


What is the intra-party squabbles?
Blackmail can't work.....It didn't work in Lagos, Ekiti, Imo.

Relax.


The summary of this conversation is that buhari's choice candidate must not necessarily be his successor. This is what I've agreed with in your submission.


I also agree that Buhari is a confusionist. You just reminded me of some scenarios that played out before.

Exactly.

If he loses out, he is going to fight dirty.

Which is good news for us in the Peter Obi camp.

Oga has the time to write a treatise? 99% of NL or citizens will not read and digest all this including me. Cut down on all those words and be concise with the idea he's trying to convey. Ppl's time is valuable.

Anyway PMB wants a joint decision with party leaders, not an individual one as the article suggest.

Sani Musa was my best bet for the job. The crack in this Abdulahi Adamu led NWC is just too early. The signs are not good.

The governors can not help the president in this matter because they all have their own personal interest. Didn't you read that they're already picking themselves? One from South and one from North? Lol..... I doubt if the governors can reach a consensus in this regard. 5 are contesting,others are split amongst Tinubu, Osinbajo, Amaechi.

Even in picking ministers,the president has failed woefully. Most of his ministers are incompetent charlatans.

You can't compare the era of yaradua to now. Who was the opponent? Was there a pan Nigeria opposition party? Was the electoral process this difficult to subvert? Can you rig brazenly like it was then? These are issues that are completely different this time around.


Whatever buhari does, he must be careful not to kill an already fragile Apc. His woeful performance has put the party at a disadvantage already, adding any intra party squabbles to this is suicidal.
Forget it, no governor will try it and go against his advance. They know they are just playing to the gallery by suggesting one of them. They wanted to try same during the party chairmanship election but finally succumbed. After they reconvened, everything will fall in line. Buhari has the right to suggest who will succeed him and there is no law that bar him from doing that so far the convention will still be held and voting will take place. Also bear in mind that the electoral Act permits consensus candidate, so far all contestants agreed to it. If paradventure he chose anyone and any of them disagree, both will still go on election contest.
Virtually all outgone governors had chosen their successors, OBJ chose his and Barack Obama chose his and even campaigned vigorously for her. So, it is not out of place for him to have input as the president and the leader of the party, which everyone need to respect.

Nobody is arguing that the president doesn't have right to choose someone but in doing that,he must go about it in such a way that it doesn't destroy the party.

https://thenationonlineng.net/northwest-apc-chair-opposes-buhari-on-consensus/
. In the case of the PDP, negotiation was limited to monetary transactions with the less than 1000 delegates who eventually elected Alh. Atiku Abubakar as the Presidential candidate of the PDP. With all the limitation imposed by the current Electoral Act, the delegates at the APC Convention who will be electing our Presidential candidate will not be less than 4000. For a party with more than 40 million members, this is a far cry and will be weak in terms of being ....

This one is so backward that he doesn't even know what and how many delegates will vote in the presidential primaries.

Which APC or PDP Chair has finished his tenure asides Oyegun. These same Governors hold everyone by the balls but they can't have it their way all the time. Even the calm Oyegun was hounded, Adamu's problem might be his person but again who was your Choice of Chairman?

Let them support their President, Yar'Adua wasn't the most sophisticated but he was supported. Let them support their President and don't try to blackmail him. There is nobody Buhari will "anoint" today that won't win the Primary with the support of all of them and they know it.

NIGERIANS ARE THE ULTIMATE DECIDERS.


Did the Governors seek his services before picking theirs?

Even the very intelligent ones needed the "unintelligent" Buhari for remote control when they ran into trouble. They also can guide and make him see their direction, afterall he helps them when it's needed.

The problem I'm having with Buhari at the moment is that he chose the party chairman also want to appoint a presidential candidate. He should have stayed clear of that party chairman tussle then use the consensus power for presidential candidate selection.

It's not just enough to pick a successor. Can your choice of successor win the presidential election? I don't have any issue with Buhari picking anybody but he should not cow anybody to step down.

Buhari is not politically intelligent enough to pick a candidate that can win this election for the APC. His sense of judgement is not something you can bank on.

Look at his choice of chairman, Abdulahi Adamu is already causing cracks in the NWC just 2months in office. I won't be surprised if he picks Ogbonaya Onu who can't win his village.
But there was nothing wrong with his sense of judgement before the elections saga, why now? I'm just happy this election palava showed the hypocrisy of many that called themselves patriots.
I wish Nigerians dump parties, to show this people they have power in their hands.

I am suspecting that Buhari would want to pick an unpopular candidate so that Atiku would have an easy ride and power would remain in the North

Imagine Buhari looking for a successor to continue his failure as if ascension of the presidential seat is no longer by election! What a human being! APC is already a failed party. With the happenings in the party, the party may not survive after the onslaught of Buhari. Seems anything buhari touches vanishes into thin air.
