candiva2013: you need to think again if you think SE is minority. Forget about the past census that was manipulated for u guys just for political gains. Let me tell you, most people here don't even know the duties of a president hence they criticise GEJ, they are too ignorant to see the good works of GEJ, I don't blame them. The reason why most people criticise GEJ is because they are not happy that a s. southerner is the president, and they believe he is contesting again. This people believe that they supposed to be in power. If GEJ contests again, he will surely win, forget about your emotional permutations

You are the one guilty of "emotional permutations".. while also playing the ethnic card.

Show us how GEJ can win in 2015 if the current shape of event goes on as we approach 2015. Shikena...no emotional gibberish.

As far GEJ gets a sizeable number of votes in Lagos and the 7 states, he will be President come 2015. All these noise here are the yorubas crying because gej is not from their place,Obj 's tenure was worse off and he was still relected

G E J is in charge of Nigeria as a nation &
pdp as a political party and what ever that happens to any of them. He will be blamed for it. Leaders should be proactive & talk at the right time & not when it is late or start taking corrections. Pls let this light not quench in your hands, Nigerians are watching. Best of luck .

Atiku is simply desperate. This is the reason why master strategist Obj dealt with him. Atiku is desperate and has led his group of desperados but the good thing is that it is a northern agenda. All the chants were hause chants. They want the presidency by all means. Now they should be stopped by all means. The presidency should bite and that bite must be deadly. Loyalty is a foreign to Atiku and I'm sure greed is also propelling him. They have played their cards too early and we have seen their penchant for sinking the ship.

Ur poor command of English has given u out as one who cannot make any reasonable judgement of the GEJ administration.
zeedof: you speaking one sided. You forgot its was people that put GEJ their and surely people can still remove him. From it inception GEJ resumed the office, it is that he is not a politician, him impersonal knows that his failing. Just that his going to run down PDP.. Well is good, to am tired of one party system, let allow other party to rule either PDM, I'd, APC, APGA me don't care but for PDP is enough

please, i want to air my candid opinion, examine it before criticizing it.
1) who is Atiku and other governors that pulled out from PDP convention? is it not Atiku that was ruling with OBJ when they embezelled the funds mearnt for stablizing electric power in their regime, siphoning the country through operation feed the nation, and for their selfish interest of who becomes the next president almost jeopardize the country, the other governors what did they do for their states, in terms of poverty alleviation, youth empowerment,job creation, in Adamawa where i served noting is working no drinking water, road etc.
2) listen if not for the boko haram issue, which regime is better than the present regime in the country, we all know that after the election that we all believe to be atleast fair, some nigerians vow to make this country ungovernable and yet they want to rule us.
3) lets open our eyes and do the right thing according to our conscience when voting comes in so doing no gang of governors can do whatever they want with our votes.
4) why are they runing away from PDP now, maybe PDP is about to re write the old norms and tradition which will no longer be conducive for them and they want to form another party they will use to oppress the masses coninually.
5) Nigerians is it fair, lets rise up and rid ourselves of this continual recycling of selfish and unpatriotic leaders thanks to all in the house and God bless.

bappahman: New PDP leadership

Firstly, its curious how many people equate internal realignments within the PDP with the scenario of a general election. The two are very different.


This "new PDP" faction has a curious character to its leadership.

Atiku has travelled this road before with results to show (not what he had hoped for)

Ameachi is of doubtful political capital to anyone.

The G5 govern states that electoral strategy dictate were never the incumbents' to win

Kwara state governor cannot even deliver his party in local elections (or maybe he tacitly conceded to APC). Besides his principal has questions regarding the demise of Societe Genrale Bank and looks likely to be engaged for the forseable future.

Startegically, they have showed their hand, and the cards i see do not look good. Trying to make the most of a bad situation i guess.

A point that gets overlooked is that state caucuses not loyal to thier respective renegade governors voted in the congresses (i stand to be corrected) and and such its fairly certain which "Faction" will be recognised by the electoral umpire.

Next week should be very interesting.


Maybe the whole point of the factionalisation is to set the grounds for decamping without consequence. (Cross carpet from a peaceful party and loose your position. But if the party is in crisis, then you're free to). I remains to be seen if the "walkout" will assume the toga of crisis.

In Nigerian political terms, it also means several senators , house of reps members, etc.

My observation is that the old PDP is now a minority in the senate and house of reps. The coalition of APC and the new PDP is now the majority..

Do not be surprised as more state chapters become factionalised in the coming days.

At least you got the point. PDP is now factionalised, so any elected officer under PDP can now decamp with justification.
These are interesting times indeed.

You keep quoting these fake figures from the east where there was a supposed 100 % turn out of registered voters.

Take abia state for example, the total number of votes cast in the governorship election was approx 700, 000 representing about 50% turn out of registered voters whereas in the presidential election Jonathan scored approx 1.4m votes. That represents about 99.9 % turn out.!

that is just one example of the fraud that took place all over the south east in the 2011 presidential election..

Before you realise that you are the one making nonsensical permutations , Jonathan will be out of govt.

As for Lagos, you are talking to someone thatunderstand Lagos politics very well. So I will wager you:

if Jonathan wins Lagos, I will relocate with my family to cotonou. please bookmark this and take me up on it then.
And who cares even if you relocate to Syria? Say that to yourself and family,please. l pray your lugubriousness come 2015 would allow you to relocate accordingly.

He should start working on plan B.his traducers will wreck pdp at night but in the day, they will shout sai jonathan.Clark should start begging amaechi.presidential election minus rivers, Lagos, kano,sokoto,whole of south west and potentially anambra etc is political death knell for Jonathan.

He said members of the Nasarawa state
PDP Concern group led by former
governor, Abdullahi Adamu, will key into
the faction of the party led by Mr. Abubakar
and eight serving governors.
When contacted Mr. Adamu, a serving
senator, confirmed his membership of the
Atiku-led group.
Mr. Adamu said the formation of the group
was to revive the party and bring about
cordiality and strengthened democratic
norms in line with accepted practice that
will bring the people closer to their political
fate.
The new faction emerged on Sunday at the
party’s special convention in Abuja. The
former vice president is the most senior
member of the group that has a former
acting chairman of the broad party,
Abubakar Baraje, as chairman.
The group said they now represent the
legitimate PDP and accused the Bamanga
Tukur-led party of violating party rules and
hijacking the party.
Mr. Iliyasu said as members of the original
party, they will strive to ensure sanity in the
party and called on members to be law
abiding for the party and the country to
move forward.
Also speaking, a former House of
Representatives member, Ahmed Wada,
representing Keffi – Karu – Kokona,
confirmed his acceptance of the new
leadership and promised to ensure that the
party moves with the people.
Mr. Wada, who is a member of the concern
group, said their leader, Mr. Adamu and
teaming members of the group have
accepted the new National leadership of
party and will work together assiduously to
remove the party from the shackle of
bondage.
