teskyg: Why must Northern presidential candidate always come from Hausa- Fulani muslim extraction?So we don't have a competent candidate from the middle belt aned a christian to compete as well.We will have to draw the line in the North.We in the middle belt have our eyes wide open and won't support any attempt to mislead us into this 19 Northern states alliance anymore.We know who to support when the time comes.

lacasa: Tambuwal can pass for Nigeria, i'm oк with this arrangement if it is eventually agreed upon

[size=14pt]I was also wondering why they didn't consider Senator David Mark who is even closer to Aso Rock by the virtue of the fact that he currently wields a more powerful office. It seems the core North does not regard the middle-belt.[/size]

Scarpon: I will not vote for anybody above 40

mikeansy: I think we need to get out of the habit of pressuring people who dont want to run to contest election

this has been the bain to our current democratic experiment

OBJ was in Jail and had no plans to run and he was plucked from no where
Yar'adua was planning to go back to classroom after Katsina Governorship and we drafted him from No where
Jonathan was not talking about Federal Politics when he was made VP and dumped on the Nation

All of these leaders were clearly not prepared for leadership because they were not thinking about it.

If Tambuwal wants to run let him come out and say so and also tell us his policies!!!! This madness about pressuring people to run for office they are not wishing for is killing our democracy

If Tambuwal wants to run let him grant a press conference and tell Nigerians how he will be better than Jonathan!!!!!

guruobinna: tambuwal dat dumb state creatn al because it didn't favor d core north

Noblechyk:
And who could that be? Tambuwal? He could be good but not a better potion. If u can leave sentiment out of this, u'll agree with me that what made Tambuwal popurlar was d rift between d House of Rep & d presidency mainly of which were selfish on path of d House. E.g Presindency after Lawan. D question is, did Lawan take bribe? U have d answer. Secondly. Presidency should sack Arunah Oteh. D question is, Is Aruna Oteh competent or not? U hav d answer. Thirdly, bugdet should b on 80 dollar per barrel so to facilitate consticuency capital projects. D question is, what happened to abandoned constituency projects? I guess u hav d answer. Personally, I want a vibrant opposition not cos I want PDP to go but for them to sit up & give Nigerians what they truly deserve. APC is no better alternative.

PapaBrowne: [size=14pt]ONE SERIOUS QUESTION:[/size]

Why does the opposition always go over to PDP to pick a Presidential Candidate? Is there a lack of capable hands in the opposition? The continous act actually betrays the constant speech that PDP is the problem of Nigeria.

In 2003... the AD choose to abstain from the elections in order to support a PDP candidate.
In 2007... the AD transformed to AC and welcomed the PDP vice President, Atiku as its Presidential candidate.
In 2011... the AC transformed to ACN and borrowed Ribadu who served PDP's attack dog up until 2009.
In 2015... the ACN has become APC and is again looking for candidates from the fold of the PDP.

Is there a lack of nationally acceptable capable hands in the Opposition? Is this an admission by the opposition that the PDP is the only national party in the country? I feel the opposition keeps shooting its feet with this one.

The best way to win an election of this type is to create a messianic figure out of an unknown personality and bring him to the fore way before the elections. Why the opposition cant think outside the PDP I dont get it.

victorD3: TB Joshua should please predict who will contest or win now o not coming after 2015 election to claim he predicted GEJ will massively win.

1MCN: In my wild thoughts, it does appear that the north is embarassingly lacking very strong and credible and saleable candidates. If Tambuwal is selected for presidency against GEJ then forget it. It'll be a smooth cruise for GEJ.
Have they forgotten that under Tambuwal the House of Reps has been wading in and out of controversies of colossal magnitude? The Arunma Otteh saga, the Farouk Lawan disgrace, their refusal to swear in the guy from Anambra state, etc.
By the time electioneering begins in essence you'd understand the true interpretations of these and many more.
But then, what is this northern obsession for power? They have been there for over 38years and yet they are maniac about it.
I think David Mark would be a stronger force against GEJ than Tambuwal, but can core north muslim allow a (middle belt) north central christian, even when they have immorally encumbered them into their number just for the sake of the numbers? Am not also seeing Mark, a more level-headed courageous, intelligent gentleman running against his (family) friend GEJ. And that's why nobody will make the attempt of inviting him.
Finally, is it true that the APC is shopping for a helmsman from the 'corrupt' PDP? What new then will that bring if not new jobbers and new godfathers? And, what waters will they use to cleanse him of the crimson corruption he must carry from the PDP they have demonized? If APC fields any candidate from their recycle bin or from the party in power which they have corrosively criticized then Nigerians should damn them and their rebuilding Nig campaign.
God Bless Nigeria and Nigerians
