The Peoples Democratic Party had turned back two presidential aspirants who were at its national headquarters in Abuja to pick their presidential nomination forms on Tuesday.

The aspirants are Dr. Abdul-Jhalil Tafawa-Balewa and Prof. Akasoba Duke-Abiola.

First to arrive was Tafawa-Balewa, who hails from Bauchi State, [s]and the son of Nigeria’s First Republic Prime Minister, Abubakar Tafawa-Balewa.[/s]

All the caucuses of the party, including the National Executive Council, had endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan as its sole presidential candidate, foreclosing the possibility of any aspirants angling for the party’s ticket.

You know even if Jonathan wins in 2015 his tenure will end in 2019. Does your statement imply that you do not wish to live beyond 2019

To you

Have you heard Patrick Obahagbon speak? Grammar and leadership are different entity. Obama with all his oratory is sinking with the US. Meanwhile listen to Chinese president speak English and you wonder but China is moving fine.

English is not the chinese lingua franca and to add they are very protective of there root/tradition.while it is not a measure of a credible leader, the chinese economy has been on a gradual rise for decades.Gej on the other hand doesnt even inspire confidence to start with.neither does he have the self assuredness or poise of a man in authority as obama, putin or cameron.his actions encourages the belief of a man with poor wit.its a tough country my brother i cant help saying him and his wife is everything mediocrity at this stage of our existence.and please dont even dare compare obama nor the U.S Economy please.am neither a PDP nor an APC supporter

I think I've seen this whole story somewhere before. The confusion is already happening,we are just waiting to see how it will play out.

Its appaling when a supposed democratic party chooses not to practice the democracy it so proudly proclaims. Why deny them their rights to contest as members of pdp.

is boni haruna the law court or is he the constitution?

otswag:
Why won't defecting continue when a supposed democratic party chooses not to practice the democracy it proclaims.

can u count the number of times tinubu has imposed candidates on lagos apc without any primaries even when party members cry foul?

on the contrary , pdp just happened to have gotten their acts together ahead of others and this has averted any rancour withing the party .

so u r planning going back to heaven 2015 ba? good guy!

morbid:

Even though they are seeking attention they have the right to contest for any position as bonafide member of their political party. Without atom of bias, PDP is not a democratic party.

Safarigurl:
Too bad. I've heard Balewa speak and he strikes me as an intelligent and articulate fellow.

A much better candidate than GEJ IMO, but the politics doesn't favor him

If mere words entice u then you can be duped easily...

[size=16pt]GEJ till JESUS comes back to rule the world from ASO VILLA [/size] so nobody should take any bank loan or use any other money to try and collect PDP form.

What were you thinking? It like you are high on some liquor

Must pdp do what Tinubu or apc has done? Why the name peoples' democratic party when they truly knew they are undemocratic? No true democratic elemen emulate undemocratic practices. Pdp out of their dangerous political game caused unrest in our polity and introduced cross-carpeting. I assure you, they would surfer it soon. Qoute me!

The two guys sha

This one is strong....Elen eyin gidigan!!
I'm not a politician oo, but i see PDP winning d presidential election wit GEJ as d candidate.

Dude, you must have a death wish, or a medical condition that gives you few years to live, or you are old and frickle. All the same, I wish you a safe trip to heaven.

PDP ruining our democracy by setting a very bad precedent. This is democracy. If GEJ is sure of himself, why being afraid to further test his popularity with other contestants?

Jonathan is scared of contests as he is not sure of himself. All the governors in PDP were arm twisted to 'signing' his sole candidacy. This is the signs of things to come in the general elections. Do or die politics.

I don't know any other way Jonathan can win the general election ...except rigging!
Why prevent others from contesting? He's just scared!
That mumu Jega no go talk anything now!
