Yesterday, the entire People’s Democratic Party appeared to descend on Anambra to push the gubernatorial candidate, Tony Nwoye into winning an election many pundits think he won’t. He has been involved in litigation over who is candidate for the pasty for the past few months – and has been late to the campaign trail.

Drunk on the wine of now-possible success, the PDP bigwigs at the event – including President Goodluck Jonathan – found it a bit difficult to control their tongues. We bring you some of the statements, thanks to Premium Times, that were so bad, they’re almost unbelievable

“50 per cent of the private jets in Nigeria are owned by Anambra people” – President Goodluck Jonathan

“I told Gov. Obi to hand over to this young man,” – PDP chairman, Bamanga Tukur

“Today we have for the first time in history, a candidate from Anambra North. I’m sure that the people of Anambra North will do anything to put their son, Comrade Tony Nwoye, into the Government House come 2014” – Senator Margaret Okadigbo

“If it is not Panadol it can never be like Panadol. This is a party that is deporting your sons and daughters and demolishing their shops” – Governor of Akwa Ibom, Godswill Akpabio said.

“Mr. President, kidnapping in Anambra is a lucrative business” – Governorship candidate, Tony Nwoye

However, it was apparently PDP board of trustees member and billionaire chairman of Orient Petroleum that went on the most expansive roll:

Take 1: “For many years the orphans and widows in this state were neglected, until God brought Jonathan from a village in Otuoke. The same thing happened to Tony Nwoye, from a village called Nsugbe. They have no money,” Mr. Eze said.

Take 2: “That short man called Ngige, we gave him power and he went and joined Awolowo’s people; the people that killed the Igbos.”

Take 3: “Peter Obi, we gave him power, he did not conduct election for eight years. He was busy building mansions and marble houses everywhere.”

Take 4: “Anambra people, let us change your lives while we are still alive.”

And for good measure, he appears to be in tune with the life expectancy average in Nigeria under the leadership of his favourite president.

“”I’m 65 years,” Mr. Eze declared at the rally. “And I’ll die very soon.”

Let no one stand between an old man and his wishes.

These people talk as if they didn't even pass "common entrance" in primary school. I wonder how they got their Bscs and PhDs. The one wey pain me pass na Jonathan. I can't believe we made this man our president. That man won't make a councillor in a developed country.

Most of the statements are reckless,divisive and laden with unbridled dosage of charlatanism!

Rather than do what is right to promote oneness amongst us,Arthur Eze wants to play a dubious one by saying Ngige went to join 'Awolowo people who killed Ndigbos'

What a pathetic statement from a man of his exposure!

@OP
The writer of this piece and you yourself are babies in politics.
Why not shelf your empty pride and learn politics from the masters of the game- the PDP?

Obiano all the way.

Being rich and exposed doesn't translates to class, Arthur Eze obviously lack class.

I dont really know why you or anyone is surprised at such an utterance by this imbecilic president. In the last Presidential chat, Jonathan publicly stated that corruption is not a problem in Nigeria and its effects are largely exaggerated.

Jonamoron is an inept, daft and incompetent leader.

Turning peoples lives into a game

HUH!!!

Mr. President, kidnapping in Anambra is a lucrative business” – Governorship candidate, Tony Nwoye

Anything? Haba!

“Today we have for the first time in history, a candidate from Anambra North. I’m sure that the people of Anambra North will do anything to put their son, Comrade Tony Nwoye, into the Government House come 2014” – Senator Margaret Okadigbo

Take 2: “That short man called Ngige, we gave him power and he went and joined Awolowo’s people; the people that killed the Igbos.”

Send EFCC after him then. Stop ranting and sue him for mismanagement of public funds.

Take 3: “Peter Obi, we gave him power, he did not conduct election for eight years. He was busy building mansions and marble

Now this I call madness. Does dead people change their lives?

Take 4: “Anambra people, let us change your lives while we are still alive.”
houses everywhere.”

APGA all the way





OBIANO our next GOVERNOR

THEY'RE ALL THIEVES!!!

Quite hilarious!

[size=18pt]Ok. It's called politics, f00l!

BTW most of the things said there are very true.

PS: anything against GEJ will always make FP on NL. There was a piece this morning about Buhari's unguided statement. That didn't make FP because the frog-eyed thing has a hand in it. [/size]

Stunned.

i read over and over looking for the ridiculous statement but cant find one. Show us the context at which they were all spoken, maybe we can understand why the foam in the mouth.

What have we learned from the 'masters of the game'?


-Diversionary and Damning campaign instead of an Issue-based campaign. It is devoid of sound ideological underpinning, policies and programmes .

-Politicization of ethnic identities.


-Shallow Politics. I cannot reconcile how the ownership of 50% of private jets in Nigeria, is in tandem with the aspirations of most Anambrarians.

-Hate speech from vile purveyors of falsehood and ethnic rabble-rousers, and ethnic panderers dispensing a heavy dosage of bigotry.

Baba_Eleko: The one wey pain me pass na Jonathan. I can't believe we made this man our president.

HANG YOURSELF NOW!! KIA!! KIA!!

.

It seems Ngige is d man to beat in this contest. It saddens me when 'leaders' turn to reckless/divisive statements to score cheap political points.
I would have simply made up my mind to vote Ngige, unfortunately Im not from Anambra.

Na Wah oh!!

This is height of political ignorance!

bunch of fools.......Eze said " i'm 65 yrs old and i will soon die" go to hell, senseless old man

Omg! Sometimes I wish some threads should be made unavailable to foreign IPs. This is disgracing. I imagine what I would have felt if I saw this on a foreign forum. Smh.

“Mr. President, kidnapping in Anambra is a lucrative business” what more can I say;only fools will vote such a party.
