Harvard-Grad:
1 candidate from the north (represents 3 geopolitical zones)
1 candidate from the south-west (who does not have the backing of the supposed tin god who is from his zone0
3 candidates from the south-east alone!

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how this will end in an election in which the votes actually count!

Hmmmmmmm, see sychophant

fkaz: Will jonathan survive PDP primary?
Obasanjo men coming on board again.
We are watching!!!

Sincere 9gerian:
My friend, you better stop hallucinating. GEJ picks his battles and goes for the kill. There's no evidence to show that Ahmadu Ali or whoever was elected BOT chairman did not get the support of GEJ, neither is there any evidence that the new BOT chairman is OBJ's candidate. All we hear and see is media speculation- today they'll say GEJ is supporting southeast candidate to emerge BOT chair, tomorrow Aneni, next they'll say he's undecided,etc. GEJ had his way in getting his prefered candidate as PDP chairman. Whatever happens, OBJ is politically dead. The PDP 2015 presidential primary election is ALREADY in the bag for GEJ. Those who dont like the face of GEJ should prepare to meet him in the general election come 2015

lookmangiw: nigerian politics, i so much respect, see my people already dancing azonto to this politrickians beat. so you people think jonathan and obasanjo are not in good terms. keep dreaming

Maxymilliano: Ahmadu Ali emerges PDP BoT chairman

After a tough battle with about five contenders, including the newly appointed chairman of the Nigerian Ports Authority, Tony Anenih, former Senate President, Ken Nnamani, Okwesilieze Nwodo, Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu and Shuaibu Oyedokun, a former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ahmadu Ali, has emerged as the party’s new Board of Trustees’ chairman, BoT as President Olusegun Obasanjo voluntarily retired last year.

Prior to the election it had been thought that the new BoT chairman would emerge by consensus as against a ballot. But none of the contenders agreed to step down for another.

In line with Article 12.77 of the party’s constitution, the contenders agreed that the election would determine the acceptability of the winner.

Conveying the party’s decision to the public, the board’s secretary, Walid Jibrin, said the PDP at its December meeting failed to agree on a consensus candidate and had thus settled for the process of election which had been fixed for today.

Jibrin, however, said that today’s winner would serve a single term of five years in accordance with the party’s constitution.
Ali’s emergence, political pundits believe shows the ascendancy of former president Obasanjo in the power equation in the PDP as Ali is believed to be his preferred candidate.

Ali’s defeat of Anenih, perceived to be the candidate of President Goodluck Jonathan is seen as a political signal of his waning hold on the power levers of the party.

Jonathan who is believed to want to run in the 2015 presidential election, has recently appointed Anenih into the “juicy” NPA board post.

halfcurrent: Honestly, this means more trouble for us in Asaba and Delta State in general. This man's wife is so arrogant that he slaps people openly in Asaba without no just cause. I have seen her slap a man in public. She is always being guided by detachment of army guys; so no body talks to her. She is arrogant, disrespectful, pompous and so full of herself; if you as much speak back to her, she will slap you and her army guides will complete the rest.
