Atiku To Jonathan: Stop Pretending On 2015 by Gbawe: 5:27pm On May 12, 2012 |
Wow, clever change of strategy. "zoning is dead and everyone should compete" ,ala let "democracy be a true game of numbers", coming from those who backed zoning vociferously yesterday. It is very obvious what this change of political strategy is entirely about. Very interesting. http://www.thenationonlineng.net/2011/index.php/news/46306-atiku-to-jonathan-stop-pretending-on-2015.html Atiku to Jonathan: stop pretending on 2015 |

The haters are at it again. They are already turning this thread into a O'dua-hating thread. . . O-bigots!!! As for Gej, let him stop pretending and face what is staring him in the face. . . PDP's Blackmail of every opposition is fast going outa vogue these days. We already know PDP has nada to offer and will rather rubbish the reputation of anything that posses a threat to their 'Lootocracy' . . . From the look of things here, it is only a matter of time before they (PDP brainwashed supporter) break into APGA, ACN and CPC accross the east, west and north respectively. |

sheyguy: The haters are at it again. They are already turning this thread into a O'dua-hating thread. . . O-bigots!!! My brother, simply ignore them. Never forget that silence is the best answer for a fool. What is more pathetic than lady-boys who follow other men around obssesively seeking their attention and yet not getting it ? Abeg ignore them. I think Atiku and co are simply saying that it is fitting GEJ should now ironically suffer from what he helped to kill. Atiku is being clever by half since the PDP always insisted that zoning is the equitable way to ensure others, aside the major ethnic groups, attain the Presidency. As it is, they are indirectly saying that no one should talk of "our turn" in 2015. Fight for it if you want it. that is the new name of the game. 1 Like |

Gbawe: Your highlighted statement above is unclear and lacking a logical structure. Atiku's spokesman does not imply what you think. First of all, what did GEJ help to kill? Answer: zoning. So how is GEJ now "ironically suffering" from "zoning"? Has the 2015 presidency been "zoned" by PDP to any part of the country? The initial post is non-news. |

I hope the Retardeen will come out clean and fast. His current behaviour is normal for a kai-kai intoxicated brain. |

aletheia: look, are you not seeing how Clarke Dokubo-Asari et al demanding that GEJ must use his 8 years on behalf of the SS with the not so subtle hint that this is the turn of the SS? How about others saying "it is our turn" as if they now want to benefit from a zoning arrangement? Atiku and co are simply saying no can do. Atiku and his camp, the most vociferous supporters of zoning who previously insisted point blank that GEJ must never run , are now saying zoning is dead. Read between the lines and link the history of events leading up to the last election with team GEJ pushing the "zoning is bad" and Presidency on merit" position and you will understand what Atiku and his team are getting at. You forget that GEJ [b]categorically denied [/b]signing up in support of zoning while Atiku, Ciroma, IBB et al insisted he did. This is now simply to remind him to keep his position consistent. |

haka_nai: ^^^^My brother thank you for throwing more light My brother, it is not Rocket Science. We all remember team GEJ, because it was expedient for them back then as a game changer, shouting that GEJ never acceded to any zoning arrangement while IBB, Ciroma, Atiku et al were virtually in tears insisting that Jonathan fully backed zoning and indeed benefitted from it. Now some want GEJ to benefit from an exponent of zoning with the noise that the SS must have "its own 8 years". If there is genuinely no zoning, why the noise GEJ must have 8 years? Others too are saying "SE Presidency only in 2015" as if it is their slot. Atiku is merely being proactive in reminding all of them that those who supported the abrogation of the concept of zoning then cannot now wish to gain from a return to zoning. They should keep their position consistent and fight for the Presidency under the new arrangement where everyone is allowed to compete and no ethnic group is favoured. We must all remember that everything will start from the PDP for Atiku, GEJ and others. If there is no zoning in the PDP and no selective banning of any ethnic group then it is fairly obvious how things will play out. We should all note how, cleverly, Atiku is not going down the beaten path of "GEJ cannot contest". Rather, he is saying GEJ is constitutionally allowed to contest. The obvious implications being that GEJ and everyone interested should fight for the Presidency with no one aided by any zoning whatsoever. In other words, win it on merit if you can. 4 Likes |

Atiku is too over ambitous and wants to be president at all cost. But as for Jonathan, let us not judge him now until the end of his regime. 3 Likes |

adigun bankole: Yes,GEJ should stop pretending....it as been clear that he av an intention of contesting....but Atiku should stop playing sharpe cos Both will lose God forbid an Atiku Presidency, in an age Nigeria should be looking at the likes Fashola and Duke, but Atiku would be a lousy Politician if he does not take political advantage of certain issues events have 'favourably' thrown up. Do you remember that the constant argument of team GEJ was that Jonathan never signed up for zoning and that Nigeria should be moving towards a "merit based system" where anyone should run for the Presidency without "discrimination"? Atiku, IBB et al were made to look the retrogressive bad guys by other insincere politicians cleverly taking advantage of issues and mouthing what they are not committed to. Remember that Atiku and co were very committed to zoning to the extent they insisted GEJ must not participate? Remember also that, in showing they were committed to zoning, both Atiku and IBB stated categorically that they would hand over to an Igbo deputy in 2015? Remember the support IBB and Atiku were enjoying from the likes of Ken Nnamani and Soludo? What will now have caused this U-turn if not that Atiku and other Northern hawks want to flip the script on those who propagated certain armuments yesterday and now want to depart from that today? Atiku is calling them out here in a nuanced manner. I.e stick to your "President on merit" argument of the past and let us see how you fare based on that alone. Let everyone, including GEJ, compete and fight. No favours, no advantages for anyone and no discrination against anyone. In other words, let democracy be a game of number, popularity and merit as team GEJ previously argued. [b]No automatic claim to the Presidency for any region of Nigeria.b] 3 Likes |

peter2012: Atiku is too over ambitous and wants to be president at all cost. But as for Jonathan, let us not judge him now until the end of his regime. Hope hope hope. That is Nigerians undoing. Look, I am among the few that marked GEJ as a failure start from word go. Forget about "giving more time". He has spent 2+yrs with nothing. He is just naturally a failure by gene( the smallest molecular level of life). There would be a change in more disasters if you really clamoring for changes. |
