Kedu nwanne m. I've missed you here. Don't stay away, we need your refreshing views.

“For now, we have not yet agreed on who it should be, but I can tell you, Fashola is one of them, however, we cannot take a final decision on this until we are able to get leaders of his primary constituency to agree.”

alex101: Don't worry, very soon you abokis and your Yoruba wives will be the only ones posting on this site,,,,so I leave to your imagination the type of posts you'll be saddled with; even Seun will dread such .

manny4life:

Your comment above is speaks volume about you. It's ok to grant a nod to Oshimole and Fashola but when it comes down to Imo, you ask "what has he done"? Some governors are not like that of others where they trumpet everything they do. Lagos and Imo have their different complexities, so for you to say he needs to first bring out IMO from ashes is not ONLY insulting but very demeaning and undermines the work (even if meager) that he has done.

You will do well to explain this in bold, who's been threatening blackmailing who?

Hima:

I'm sorry I don't know how this work so I have a question: is the position of a president won by percentage of states that voted in his favour or percentage of people that voted in his favour? Concidering dat some states might have larger number of population than others.

ndu_chucks:

There is no reason to believe that, if he runs, Buhari will lose the states he won during the last election. I submit to you that, as the APC candidate, he will win Edo, most of the SW states, and one or two more states in the SE, in addition to the ones he won in the North during the last election. GEJ or anyone else will be defeated by such showing.

No?

Omo_Tier1:
It is both, you have to win a percentage of the states, and also win 2/3 majority of the votes cast.

ndu_chucks:

Nna, don't attempt to put yourself in the same category of your superior, Sam_Ikenna. I don't have to beat him over the head to get simple points, besides, he is not a bigot.

You seem foolish enough to believe that you can leave NL en mass. Olodo, go and look up the term addiction and then come and explain to me how you and your gang will be cured from it, before making empty threats. dolo

Obinoscopy: Buhari will win NO state in the southeast. The southwest will divided. Buhari will also lose out in the northcentral and parts of northwest. So I wonder how Buhari wld win. PdP won Buhari b4, they wld do it again.

PointB: My candid advice to APC: Pick Rochas as your presidential candidate and pair him with a muslim from the North. Pitch it as strategy to re-unite the country. 8 years later power can go back to the North
.

Any other permutation hands power back to the incumbent.

dayokanu:

Last election Buhari picked 13 states.

Buhari alone without incumbency and money already guarantees 13 states No single individual in Nigeria has that appeal. All he need is 6 more states

Even if Jonathan wins all the SS 6 states, SE 5 states total 11 states he cant win election and

Buhari has NW 7 states, NE 6 states thats 13 states already.

Middle Belt which states would go to Jonathan? Definitely not Niger States. And I think Buhari is very strong in states like Nasarawa, can do better in Kogi and Kwara

Assuming for the sake of argument Jonathan wins All SE, SS and 5 states in middle belt he would still Lose. Why are you making analysis as if you're not a nigerian. Your analysis can only see the light of the day if we have unbiased and independent electoral commission. Believe it or not, INEC is an extension of PDP. What we need in this country is complete REVOLUTION. The question is who will take the lead?

Buhari just need those 6 SW states to get to 19 states that is needed

Billyonaire: Please do not give them a cue.

Omo_Tier1:
With all seriousness, when it comes to development, you cannot place Rochas, Fashola and Oshiomhole on the same line. Perhaps after spending four years at governor of IMO state, then we can begin to talk about Him moving to the Centre.

Clearly, when it comes to prudential management, wealth creation, personnel development and human capacity building, infrastructural development, Rochas is yet to demonstrate much experience and if Nigeria is ever going to move forward, individuals who have demonstrated their capacity in these regard should be elected to President. No doubt, any sincere individual who attest to the fact that Fashola and Oshiomhole have demonstrated thus.

The mission to rescue Nigeria come 2015 is not about ethnicity, rather about having the best hands with proven positive experiences of good governance with developmental strides as her hallmark to be elected as President. Rochas in my opinion is not ripe to be elected into that position and should be encouraged to continue on the good course He has began in Imo state. I think it would do him more good if He stays that course because by the time He is done serving two terms in Imo state, He will amongst the experienced governors who will rightly be seen by Nigerianscas good for Presidency, provided He continues on the good path of infrastructural development Imo is already beginning to witness under His reign.

I know you want an Igbo man to be president, perhaps an Igbo woman, however, you need to ask yourself, which persons of Igbo extraction has the clout to win at least 4states in every region of the country in order to become president, possibly none at the moment.

As for the bolder in my post, it is a no brainner that Fashola and Oshiomhole have in their first term faced several complexities, whether political, economical in governance and were able to manage it and did so courageously.

I can't think of any Rochas has faced since becoming a governor perhaps you can give me some examples.

vanunu: We Nigerians should watch these APC men carefully, I don,t trust them at all, Just because the knew that the president will visit maiduguri next Thursday, they just hurriedly organized their own visit. What kind of politicians are these men.

vanunu: How old are you

the_ripper:

Dude, u need to forget this Electoral College ish and come back home, forget this data presented, hw many get to register, hw many would vote. Was at Kano during the last elections and saw dat PDP is present in most Northern states believe me, they know hw to get their votes where it matters. Do u know women voted massively for PDP at least where I served cuz of 5satchets of Ariel and a tin of Milo. Those pple really don't care who wins, they just want to survive. While CPC and co were busy doing their normal gallivanting in the major cities, PDP was busy winning in the villages. No wonder the "not-so-wide" margin recorded. Forget ur 19 states dream, can u truly say PDP won't get 40% in most of the states u mentioned knowing dat the SS and SE and NC is going to b a landslide victory for Jonathan.?

chukwudi44: What is the percentage of SS/SE/MB in these states compared to the population of NW/NE/SW in the other states? You still do not get how this simple majority stuff works.What percentage of votes do you think APC would get in Lagos and Kadunna states?

dayokanu:

In this Nigerian scenario the most populated region are in the North West and South West. Below are the top 5 most populated states in Nigeria 3 from NorthWest , 2 from SOuthWest.

Rank State Population
1 Kano State 9,401,288
2 Lagos State 9,113,605
3 Kaduna State 6,113,503
4 Katsina State 5,801,584
5 Oyo State 5,580,894

thelastPope:

In these 5 states you listed, the only state Buhari can actually win is katsina. That is assuming your flawed logic works.

But your logic is very flawed. Fashola didn't win Lagos in 2011 with Yoruba votes. He was loved then. The same people who voted GEJ voted Fashola the following weekend. But all that has changed. Same for Oyo and Ogun. The two PDP groups in Oyo and Ogun had far more votes than ACN. ACN does not control those states like you mentioned. Most times when you say ACN control the south west, it isn't correct at all. The only state ACN really totally controls is Osun. PDP has never ruled Lagos because they have never really brought out a good candidate. The only good candidate was Funsho Williams who was mudered by ACN, then AD. But Buhari can never get up to 40% of Lagos votes even if Tinubu is the VP candidate.

honeric01:

Seeing Buhari name always put fear in you people's mind because everyone knows he's the only northerner that can rake in votes in the north without spending 1 kobo. no other person anywhere in Nigeria can rake in millions of votes without spending kobo. you guys are so so afraid of that name Buhari..

sorry o

omonnakoda:
This is true but I fail to see the relevance unless you do not understand.No one group can produce a president without others support.The point here is the Ibo stand out for having no one's support.i.e no friends because they alienate everyone.That is the issue here.Do you gerrit now
