2015: Jonathan schemes for S’West votes

NOVEMBER 15, 2014 BY NIYI ODEBODE, JOHN ALECHENU AND OLUSOLA FABIYI

Already, there are indications that the APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and other leaders of the party might have concluded the deal to field the Speaker as a “neutral candidate” following the inability of the North to reach a consensus on the party’s presidential aspirant.

A former President, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari; former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso and a Leadership Newspaper Publisher, Sam Nda-Isaiah are competing for the APC presidential ticket.

Tambuwal, who is rumoured to preparing to join the presidential race on the platform of the opposition party, has recently dumped the ruling PDP.

The APC had said that the hope for the emergence of a Northern consensus presidential candidate for the APC had dimmed following failure by leaders of the party from the region to broker a deal on Tuesday night.

With the current APC presidential aspirants failing to step down for a consensus candidate, sources said Tambuwal might be brought in as a compromise candidate and this is expected to send jitters down the spine of the President.

Why Tinubu dumped Buhari for Tambuwal
on November 14, 2014 / in Politics 10:03 pm

By Emmanuel Aziken, Political Editor

Team Tinubu, the camp of the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, was compelled by some former Nigerian leaders and Northern Islamic leaders to drop its support for the 2015 presidential aspiration of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.

Reflective of the pressure which also came from some close associates of Asiwaju Tinubu, the political group has switched support towards the presidential aspiration of Speaker Aminu Tambuwal who with his entry this week, immediately turned into a major contender for the ticket.

He has Buhari and former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar as the main challengers for the party’s presidential ticket with Governor Rabiu Kwankwanso of Kano State and newspaper publisher, Sam Nda-Isaiah also contending.

Several other factors were taken into consideration by the Tinubu camp in switching support, close associates of the political leader disclosed to Saturday Vanguard. Among the other factors was the alleged overbearing influence of some close associates of Gen. Buhari, who they claimed were likely to fence out other political stakeholders in a possible Buhari presidency.

Three former heads of state, two from the north and one from the south and a very influential retired army chief from the northeast who has also held political appointments in the present dispensation were among those cited by sources as having prevailed on the Tinubu camp to drop support for Buhari.

The decision of the Tinubu camp to drop support for Buhari, it was learnt, also followed reservations from some sections of the north notably, some Islamic leaders.

“It is not that we dumped Buhari, the Islamic clerics, the imams and the political leaders in the north particularly three former heads of state said that they don’t want the man,” the source said.

President Olusegun Obasanjo and a former military president Gen. Ibrahim Babangida met penultimate Tuesday following the latter’s return from a medical trip abroad. The two men met for 30 minutes behind closed doors.

However, Gen Baban-gida had in the past been publicly quoted as urging Speaker Tambuwal to aspire for a higher office. Speaking at the presentation of the Vanguard Personality of the Year award to Governor Chibuke Amaechi of Rivers State in Lagos on April 6, 2013, the former military president said:

“When leaders like Tambuwal delivered on their electoral promise, we advise them to try something higher. For Tambuwal, your guess is as good as mine. Well done.” Babangida’s remark was applauded. .

The influence of some present and past minders of Gen. Buhari was also another reason taken into consideration, a source disclosed.

“There is this perception about Buhari that he is surrounding himself with some people like Nasir El-Rufai, Buba Galadima, Sule Hamman” the source said, reawakening complaints about the overbearing attitude of Buhari’s now dissolved political machine, The Buhari Organisation, TBO which had in the past been accused of selectively fencing out people.

The Tinubu associates also feared that the perceptions of religious extremism which the ruling party, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP had sought to tag on Buhari could deny the party votes in the South were he to emerge as candidate.

Though many of the Tinubu associates do not regard him as an extremist, but the perception already created, it was learned, could be injurious to their political outing. There were also concerns that Buhari could be detached from responsibility and reference was made to his past roles as head of state and chairman of the Petroleum (Special) Task Force, PTF where his subordinates usurped authority in his name.

Imagine, APC finally settling for someone that was a PDP member up until just few days ago? Yet the same APC and it's leader, thief Tinubu, told Nigerians that PDP destroyed Nigeria in the last 15 years. Who is PDP? Where does PDP live? Who is fooling who?

Meanwhile, now that the permutations have changed, we should expect APC warriors to start singing a new song soon.

Chill for the primaries to hold. Atleast they've provided a level playing ground between these two. Calm down.

Which level playing field? As if we don't know that whoever the party leaders favour will emerge the candidate

.

I am very sure APC is not prepared yet to Lead at the centre because the politics of bitterness and propaganda will earn them nothing.

I smell war, sorrow and tears for Apc both online and offline

Super story

Tambuwal just left PDP, and now he is being touted as the next presidential candidate?

And you think that those who sacrificed their all to form the APC will just sit still?

APC, una dey sure say una no be PDP part II?

I will have to conclude that APC has no presidential candidate in 2015!

Why restrict their search to the north? Must the north rule forever? A party that boasts of personalities like Fashola and Oshiomhole is having a hard time deciding between Buhari and Tambuwal because they are from the north.

Shame on the APC! Finally, their leaders have successfully passed themselves off as eternal servants of the Arewa.


GOODLUCK 2015 jare!

20pounds:

Why restrict their search to only GEJ? Must the GEJ rule forever? A party that boasts of personalities like David Mark and Ken Nnamani is having a hard time deciding between senators and outgoing governors because they are have all "endorsed" GEJ and now want their "settlement".

Shame on the PDP! Finally, their leaders have successfully passed themselves off as eternal servants of any government in power.


GOODLUCK till 2015 jare!

Fixed

Wel,if he eventually emerge as dia candidate..i'l gladly vote him...nt foreseeing dat though

Chei, so upon all this noise where Buharists dey make na so Buhari go end his quest to rule Naija? Buhari na bad market bad investment anytime anywhere

PDP continuously loan APC their rejects as presidential candidates and APC expects to win with rejects abi?

No need for election next year, its gonna be a rout, a no contest.

Tanbuwal was originally a member of the defunct ANPP (now APC), he was loaned to PDP to teach them "how to emerge as House of rep speaker" Now, his work is done over there and he decided to return home. He has never ever been a full PDP member from day one.

I smell infighting and war in APC ahead
But if APC should pick sombody dat just decamped from the PDP they lambast so many times calling dem all manners of corruptible names then APC is worse dan PDP dat means they re only interested in their pocket and the seat, well dat is the primary aim of politicians
There is trouble ahead of APC
Sometin tells me that if buhari and Atiku who re partial founding members of APC re not picked(one of them) then there will be serious problem, the party may even break up before election
Buhari can even lead his faction in the party to form another new party same with Atiku all this will happen if tambuwal who was a PDP member few weeks ago emerge winner of the primary

Sincere9gerian:
Just for the benefit of the Buhari apostles on NL, led by e-warrior Barcanista. Just so they don't continue to waste their energy trying to sell a very bad product, which has been rejected by even the leaders of their own party. Just so they don't continue to fire aimlessly.

It appears the permutations on the possible presidential candidate of APC for the 2015 elections have shifted from Buhari to the former speaker of the House of Reps, Tambuwal. Indications are that the king makers in APC now agree with El Rufai and many of us that "Buhari is perpetually unelectable". At least this has been reported by two major Nigerian newspapers, including the pro-APC Punch.

Bros if Tambuwal is not to your liking just let PDP know, am sure they can find another reject for APC.

My brother, that Sincer9jerian guy is very pathetic. He carries gossip, dancing around like someone that just recovered from stroke, all because the articles published what he wants to hear and read

I had known this since 2011 that Tambuwa has never been a PDPmember in reality but he as just been us PDP as cafouflag that is why he claim to be leader for all parties in the house so to gain the majority of the house members' suppoort against 2015. The northern leaders has been using him in the house and in PDP as .......... to know the secret of GEJ and PDP. So I am not surprise with this development.

You give yourself a lot of headache over what is not your business.

They don't have any candidate yet jare.

Although, i think atiku will win the primary...bt non of them can gather up to 1/3 of Gej vote.

I see APC taking 3rd position in 2015,

let the transformation agenda of Dr goodluck ebele jonathan continue till 2019.

PDp is this,pdP is corrupt,PDp is that,yet any pdp member that decamps to APC automatically becomes a presidential material.
Kwankwaso
Atiku
Okorocha
And now Tambuwal are all products of PDP.

Buhari has suddenly become a burden to APC.They have fixed december 10 for their presidential primaries so that if Buhari was eventually thrown overboard,it will be too late for him to form another political party.

Firefire:



I am very sure APC is not prepared yet to Lead at the centre because the politics of bitterness and propaganda will earn them nothing.

What do you understand in politics? I'm sure you are not aware that even in the US, the Republicans had presidential candidates before Mitt Romney emerged the party's flag bearer.

The director - general and arrowhead of APC in nairaland barcanista should come and address this issue asap.
