PHIPEX: If the PDP guys move to APC what then is the difference between the old and the new parties? If the people we considered bad Governors of PDP suddenly change party to APC will it make them now good? It's like we are doomed with these same crop of leaders, imagine when OBJ now supports APC?

I think the main thing here is to get central power first from the PDP government after this some other things will follow. As the adage says "if your hand have not hold the grip of a cutlass, you cannot ask for the head of the person that killed your father"

Ejiné:

Apparently, in your reckoning, a state's governor is all it takes to win a state. Obviously, you believe they're sheep who flock to wherever their governor is... Is that correct?

No, not the State Governor, it takes a LG Councillor. With ur reasoning, you must be PDP.

take dat: This report is from ThisDay Newspaper, owned by the guy GEJ dashed N150million from poverty alleviation account to bring Jay Z and Bey to Nigeria. You should actually think it twice before labelling it as beer parlour journalism, for we know of ThisDay's bias towards PDP. Its time you guys re-strategise, and deliver democratic dividends or else PDP will soon be the opposition party!

www.thisdaylive.com/articles/eight-pdp-governors-move-to-defect/143045/

Look, if you guys are really intelligent as you claim, you will not be pushing this kind of pitch. It is beer parlour talk. Whether it was published by New York Times, doesn't matter. According to an unknown source this and unknown source that, is just garbage journalism.

Secondly, the whole logic is flawed. Whether its the logic of moving PDP governors over to APC so they can attain sainthood, or the logic of thinking those governors will actually deliver those states is all wrong.

For example, why would Amaechi be joining the opposition? Is it to get more support or to get the VP slot? If it is support, then he doesn't need it. If it is for the VP slot, it will destroy his political carrier back home. He will be a reject and be tagged a traitor for life by the ND. He won't get 1000 votes from his state.

Many of you never travel and that is why you post all these kind of stuff. The days of the north voting en block are long gone. If you think that these northern PDP governors will jump into the opposition on wishful thinking that the APC will win 2015, then you must be high on something. People like Atiku and IBB will never submit themselves to a party that they have no serious stake in. Many of these governors are their prodigies.

2015 is going to be a good year for Nigeria for one thing. We will decide either to continue as one or go our separate ways. If we do decide to continue, it will be based on fairness and equity. The whole concept that the power must return to the north whose leaders destroyed the country for over 40 years has become an eye opener to the whole ND people and people are ready, fully ready.

The ND of today is not the one of 1970. We will have and maintain our freedom from the Hausa/Fulani/muslim north and her collaborators. Gowon, OBJ, Shagari, Buhari, IBB, Abacha, Abdusalami have all ruled and ravaged our lands and plundered it. No more. No amount of intimidation or cyber attack will douse our resolve. The PIB will be passed whether those fooolish senators like it or yes. The oil blocks will be revoked and we will have our day!

Have you no shame that you have to post this? All I need to make a fool of you is to pick one of your post from an old thread.

The pitch most of you ACN/CPC gang love the most is "the PDP has ruled for 14 years with absolutely nothing to show for it".

Another pitch is, "PDP is a party of killers".

Another one is "there is nothing good in PDP, nothing"

Another one "PDP governors are not performing". In fact, apart from Amaechi, all the PDP governors mentioned in this article were among all the governors lapooned by you lot in all the best governor threads that was a common occurence throughout last year.

Jonathan will crush them with an iron rod after all this palava is over, APC is yet to be registered, PDP is a grand strategist to feign internal dis-harmony whenever election time reaches, OBJ laughs, Aliyu babangida laughs, Lamido and co. laughs, Jonathan keeps mum and watches APC moves, Jega awaits presidential order, above all, the Lord laughs at them...kekekekekekeke

TechRev: ... Amazing, nigerians shout pdp is our ruin, nothing to show for 12 yrs. They shout we must replace pdp. So the pdp guys now leave pdp to help nigerians replace pdp with themselves under new name media APC. Jokers ... So if buhari and Tinubu can dialogue with pdp govs to bring their structures to them, its obvious pdp aint the problem. How can a sane man use the problem as his solution? Naija ehh ...
This is the smartest view that I ve come across here in Nairaland and this guy just spoke my mind. First let me say a fish cannot survive for too long outside water, PDP is the political water the many big weight in Nigeria's politics swim so any attempt to leave the party spells doom for them. Surely there are people who are interested in the job of these governors if they dare try to defect to APC. And in APC what exactly will these pDP governors be doing? Are they coming to become mere floor members or to further their political ambitions? What would be the place of Buhari and other members of APC, would they sit back and allow pdp memebers hijack their alliance for their selfish interests? Many questiions and few answers

I don't think there is anything to be ashamed about. I mean whenever those statements occur they are made purely for political reasons. The PDP has been represented here by its agents so has the APC and its affiliates. It would be naive to think otherwise. In weeks to come anyone wishing to launder his image knows where to go.

POINT 1
the north is aggrieved that South has taken over power and conventionally over PDP by way of GEJ politics,so its obvious dy can't upturn the south come 2015. So they have to device other means....is Buhari from north? Wow this is an opportunity for north to possess so they have to support him.
POINT 2
what makes a place bad is the people in it. If PDP is bad, den its the members dat made it bad. APC wants to save Nigeria? Should they welcome elements from PDP who is the cause of Nigeria woe?
POINT 3
APC is not a political party in Nigeria now till it is registered, dats if they succeed

Gbawe:

Don't expect common sense utterances from some here. I often joke with friends that Nigeria is one of the few Nations so aberrant that even PHD holders will get in the mud, to begin fighting like Pigs, once they have decided to abandon their core training, revolving around the utilisation of the logic and science of things, to be like most Nigerians who embrace a sentimental and bias-driven take on issues.

Even a fool will know that the APC will be birthed sooner or later. Solution providers, winners and leaders will not concern themselves with all the registration mischief , neither here nor there in the overall scheme of things, unintelligent PDP backers are obsessed with. They will focus on real plans, calculations and probabilities. To that end, forward-planning disgruntled PDP Governors will certainly look to move to the APC while charlatans and olodos will focus on and remain obsessed with highlighting registration issues regarding an inevitable entity very much long overdue as per the concept of natural evolution.
Na grammar u just dey blow oh make I tell u. Nigerian politics is not for grammarians because over 80 % of real voters don't really read opinions in print, electronic or social media. They re the tomatoes seller, the plantain roaster, the bean-cake seller, the keke napep/maruwa rider, the wood hewer etc. So all that was analysed above is stil to the figment of the writer's imagination. PDP perhaps quarrels more than other parties, but it has first class in resolving all disputes before elections. I asked earlier, would pdp governors be ready to be ordinary floor members in APC? Or would APC guys like Buhari, Tinubu, Rochas allow their party to be hijacked by pdp (corrupt) governors whose only interest is to use the party machinery already created for them to further their interest? The union can't work.

My friend keep quiet and deviate from these ND blackmails. Am a Niger Deltan and can categorically tell you we are our own enemy. Is Ibori, Alamieseigha, Odili, Igbinedion, Uduaghan etc from the North? Are these not all thieves who plundered and are still plundering the allocations given to us for development?

This is exposing the hipocritcal posture of the opposition in Nigeria and why PDP will rule as long as they want. Didn't they say PDP is the problem? Why now acccepting same people into ur fold? They simply desire nothing but power at the centre to loot and steal and plunder and nothing more. Is 12 states not currently in opposition parties hands? What are the significant changes in those states the we can beat our chest and say there are clear differences between pdp states and opposition states in terms of real development.

Why not start with opposition first and let the furnace of the electoral process generate credibility. The understanding I have of power is simple. It corrupts and absolute power destroys. It is opposition that makes sure power is not absolute. If we are simply going to replace PDP with APC at all levels then we have achieved nothing.

At the end the PDP will have to shed it corruption induced laxity and the APC its fundmentalist fueled gra gra to find the kind of equality that profits this country.

To think dat it's d same corrupt PDP pple (whom we crave passionately to vote out) dat are moving to APC does not necessarily mean we will remain in dis socio-economic shambles by enthroning an APC govt.

PDP as a party is d system promoting massive corruption wit impunity. You may be a potentially corrupt public office holder but can be hampered from embezzlemnt if d party ideology is right.

So, their defection should be seen as a plus especially if Buhari, Ribadu etc are in d scheme. IMHO.

Please tell them. I feel sad when peopple continue to see Buhari more than he truly is. Wasn't it same man who at 10th anniversary of Abacha's death praised the late despot to the high heaven as never being corrupt? Where was Buhari when Abacha was running this country down like a mad dog, he was bought over with PTDF. Buhari's regime and policies were 95% Tunde Idiagbon idea and strenght of character that sustained it. Who feared Buhari then as much as Idiagbon?

Reference: I knew the opposition will have to sell out at some point but this is way too early. The PDP will have time to recover and regroup.
Hahahaha. Sell out u said? No they re not selling out, the opposition is merely playing out its part of the pdp script. The merger is itself a brainchild of PDP. They thought it wise to have a conglomeration of all oppositions under one roof for easy crushing come 2015. How it will work is that close to the election, many PDP memebers such as we re seeing will deliberately fall out with PDP and will have no option but to use their hge stolen fund buy their way into APC decision making machinery. As the election approaches, APC will boil with huge crisis that will cripple the party, battle will rage between Tinubu and Buhari branche of the party with PDP guys fighting on Tinubu's side. ApC collapses close to the election and Buhari either leaves with his supporters and take up a relatively unknown party like Labour or Dpp. Opposition weakened close to elections gives pdp clear victory at poll and members sent to Apc return back and re rewarded with positions. This is PDP game plan, just watch out.
