Why G7 Governors Decamping Does Not Really Affect Jonathan's 2015 Chances by LordVarys: 6:47pm On Nov 26, 2013
As Expected, most of the G7 governors have joined the APC.....although the leanings of Niger Gov Babangida Aliyu, Kwara Gov Ahmed and Jigawa Gov Lamido remain suspect, in terms of numbers it fails to affect GEJ's chances in 2015 as he already lost in 5 of the 7 states in 2011, the only states he won among the lot in 2011 were rivers and kwara, and without Amaechi's support in 2015,he would sweep rivers votes again.....the APC can never win rivers even though they possess the gov just the same way Jonathan can't win Katsina even tho the gov is PDP, Kwara would be risky but it remains to be seen if Saraki and his stooge would leave the comfort of the PDP where the machinery is firmly in his hands for the APC,interestingly the kwara Gov walked out of the merger meeting with the niger gov, the PDP would most likely retain the senate with their 52 senators + 4 senators from APGa and LP allies =56 senators, with the 3 Niger Senators not decamping it could extend to 59 leaving APC with 50, the House of Reps would be hung between both parties almost equally and the house is likely to be enmeshed in a leadership tussle, for the PDP it is an opportunity to stabilise and restrategise for 2015, for GEJ with a secure SE,SS and MB base along with his SW allies like Mimiko,Omisore,Ladoja,Akala,Jimi Agbaje etc who possess some electoral clout and his core north allies like Shema,Yuguda,the heavily popular Mohammed Abacha, Al-Mustapha, the die is cast......the battle for the soul of nigeria has begun, it remains to be seen how Aregesola/Oyinlola, Kwankasso/Shekaurau, Wammakko/Bafarawa , Saraki/Lai_Muhammed will work together in APC......I remain confident that GEJ will be re-elected in 2015 however much closer than 59%-31% margin he secured in 2011

Also the APC remains vulnerable in states like Nasarawa where the PDP dominated assembly is threatening Al-Makura with impeachment, also with Eggons the largest tribe in the State likely to rally behind their son Labaran Maku's candidature, the state could likely return to the PDP
Also in Oyo State, the alliance Of Rashidi ladoja and Alao akala could defeat incumbent Ajimobi.
Also amaechi could be toppled by the Supreme Court next year...its not all rosy for the APC

Jimi Agbaje has never and will never be a PDP loyalist.

During the last election when asked why he did not contest, he said "It is pointless contesting against Fashola". The dude is still an APC man to the bone.

Do you people honestly believe GEJ will get that much votes from the southwest? With so much neglect? Y'all don't know ish about politics ooo. The southwest is such a way now that it is comfortably in APC's hands to do and undo. And anyone who underates Saraki is trying to ski up the face of a mountain

The only way GEJ has a shot is if by some miracle, he starts performing.

This is politics, not about who is credible or not, akala with his bleaching thievery still almost defeated ajimobi in 2011 losing just 1LGA and winning his own senatorial district,ladoja remains the single most popular politician in Oyo and did quite well in 2011, an alliance with akala would defeat the APC in oyo, ajimobi himself is aware oof that which was why he reconstituted his cabinet with core politicians, in Kano, the only person more popular than muhammed abacha is Buhari, in nigerian politics, what matters is not who has credibility but who can deliver votes, if not why is the APC gleefuly receiving Oyinlola,Timipre Sylva, Saraki,Nyako and other people who they called thieves as progressives....and btw,Jimi Agbaje will be the PDP's candidate for lagos gov in 2015,this is insider info and I'm sure of it....he's been in discussions with GEJ and mimiko will deliver ondo to GEJ, and you think buhari will trounce GEJ in the SW....hahaha......my company did consultancy work for GEJ's campaign in 2011 and I tell you, the SW will be split evenly, you'll be surprised at what an effective ethno-religious campaign can do

Dude, Jimi Agbaje is not a PDP person. Don't you get it? The guy does not fight battles he cannot win. He has looked around and seen the work done so he chose to walk away. Even the LP where he once was can't talk of having him

and do you really think Agbaje can defeat an APC candidate? In the 2011 elections, the APC set a record of votes from a single state which no party has ever gotten before +1.5m votes.

And with the general hatred towards the PDP in Lagos, no sensible candidate will even think of it

Re: Why G7 Governors Decamping Does Not Really Affect Jonathan's 2015 Chances by LordVarys: 7:25pm On Nov 26, 2013
appears set for another round of crisis as the party’s
leader, Chief Olabode George, is said to have sold
the idea of fielding the governorship candidate of
Democratic Peoples Alliance (DPA) in the 2007
election, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, as the party’s standard
bearer for the 2015 governorship election to
President Goodluck Jonathan.
As a result this, George and some other PDP leaders
are said to have firmed up plans with Agbaje to join
the PDP as a first step to flying its flag in the
election.
Although the news of Agbaje’s likely defection to the
PDP had gone on for a while with all concerned
keeping sealed lips, indications however emerged at
the weekend that the deal had been signed and
sealed but waiting to be delivered.
THISDAY learnt at the weekend that the move
recently got a boost when the new chairman of the
Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA), Mr.
Ezekiel Olajida Adeniji, fixed a meeting between
President Goodluck Jonathan and Agbaje with the
understanding of George.
The need to have Agbaje join the PDP was said to be
the thrust of the meeting with the President which
was agreed on. But Agbaje who was wary of the
ambition of the party’s candidate in the 2007
election, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, was said to
have insisted that the only reason he could join the
PDP was if he was assured of the party’s ticket for
the election in 2015.
He was said to have kept asking the party leaders
how they would handle Obanikoro’s case since he is
as passionate about the governorship ambition such
that would not outplay him in the equation.
But while the President was said to have received
Agbaje warmly and encouraged him to be part of the
ruling party, he was however not categorical in his
response, bearing in mind the weight of his position,
but promised a fair play in the choice of candidates
in order not to aggravate the tense situation in the
party.
Based on the partial success of the meeting and the
encouraging assurances of the party leaders, Agbaje
was said to have consented to the overtures to join
the PDP and at a date the stakeholders are yet to
agree on.
Besides, George was said to have already suggested
as a possible running mate to Agbaje, a former aide
to former president Olusegun Obasanjo, Mr. Bode
Oyedele, giving an indication that the idea had been
properly thought out and concluded even before the
process for selection commences.
Sources told THISDAY that the idea behind the
Agbaje candidacy was as a result of the clamour by
some stakeholders in the polity to field a Christian
candidate for once, pre-empting that it might be the
joker that the ruling party, Action Congress of
Nigeria (ACN) might want to use to sustain its
winning streak in the state.
Interestingly, both George and his estranged friend,
former Minister of Works, Senator Adeseye
Ogunlewe, are said to have been working
independently on both the Christian agenda and the
Agbaje candidacy even though they are both not in
good terms.
Another person said to be privy to the Agbaje deal
and also planning to return to PDP to work together
with the team is the former Commissioner for Sports
in the state, Mr. Ademola Adeniji-Adele.
Sources said plans have also been concluded for
Adeniji-Adele to return to PDP and be part of the
team to face the opposition in next election, counting
on the fact that having worked with the ACN for
about four years as a commissioner, he would
understand some of their antics and work as an
insider from the outside.
Unfortunately, supporters of Nigeria’s former High
Commissioner to Ghana, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro,
who had long suspected the moves, have resolved to
give the leadership a run for its money, citing
absolute confidence in the ability of Obanikoro to
contain the excesses of the opposition.
They cited amongst other reasons, the fact that
Obanikoro tamed the ruling ACN during the local
government election in the state where his son,
Babajide, was allegedly robbed of victory as
chairman of Ikoyi/Obalende Local Council
Development Area of the state. Such success in a
Lagos political environment, they contended, was no
mean feat by an individual in the PDP when many
others could not even win their wards in all of the
elections.
According to them, if the leaders’ choice candidate is
the man who came a distant third in an election that
Obanikoro came second, then, they are deliberately
settling for less and do not have the interest of the
party at heart.
Besides, those who are sympathetic to the plight of
the PDP are worried about the emerging
developments. They recalled the drama that led to
the emergence of Obanikoro as PDP candidate in the
2007 election, saying the party appears not to have
learnt any lesson.
“If at that time when the party leaders were still
cracking with a president that bullied his way
through everything, they could not defeat Obanikoro
at the primary election, then, they would have it
even tougher now that the party is sharply divided
and parades greater number of moles,” the source
said

So you think Agbaje can take power away from APC in Lagos? You seriously know next to nothing when it comes to Lagos politics.

The only person who could match the APC was Funsho Williams. The name PDP is dead and buried in Lagos

I have it on good authority Jimi Agbaje has met GEJ thrice in lagos in the last year at the state house marina.......also note that even despite the general apathy towards the PDP in lagos,GEJ still secured nearly 70% of cast votes in 2011, note also that there is a large immigrant population from the SE and SS that still support GEJ and remain heavily suspicious of Buhari and the APC, GEJ won't get less than 45% of cast votes in lagos in 2015,

I guess you don't know Sen. Abdulahi Adamu is part of the nPDP that just merged with APC. With abdulahi adamu and Tanko Almakura in one party, PDP is dead and buried in Nasarawa. Who is Labaran Maku?! Lol.. You should bother yourself with states PDP will lose in 2015.. Kaduna, katsina, Bauchi, gombe is definitely slipping away from them on or before 2015 elections.

If you think it won't affect GEJ, then you're getting it wrong. Even if Sambo is from Kaduna state, do you think GEJ would just win APC there without much work??

The last Governorship Election in Kaduna state was very though, the margin was not big at all. So just count Kaduna among the states GEJ would lose come 2015.

I don't claim he would defeat the aPC candidate, it purely depends on the candidate the APC brings, even if he loses , he would be able to transfer sufficient goodwill to prop up GEJ....nice to see you couldn't counter the points I made about the other states a la Oyo,Nasarawa and you've gone from doubting a jimi agbaje candidature to saying he can't defeat GEJ......politics is not stagnant..tIs purely a game of interests,cash and numbers,GEJ still holds the ace,that is something any informed analyst would tell u, 2015 will be a shocker for the APC...

45%?

Did you forget that the reason GEJ even got that much vote in the southwest was because the ACN pulled out of the presidential election at the last minute? Remember the only state GEJ lost was Osun. If GEJ pulls 10% of Lagos votes, he should be declared president?

Lagosians don't vote based on sentiments. You need to have done work for them to see and can you name one project GEJ has done in Lagos since he was president? Just one.

What will he campaign about this time? The "God wants him to be there" effect is no more. People don't wanna hear about him

he can win though if he drastically changes and starts working as the president and not a tribal leader

Solomon Ewuga is in a struggle with Tanko Al-Makura for the soul of APC in that state, Abdulahhi adamu won't change much, 19 of the 24 members of the house of assembly remain with PDP under the palms of akwe doma and labaran maku, GEJ won that state with 60% in 2011 and he will win again, I agree that PDP will lose Kaduna but the sizeable southern kaduna votes should be able to secure GEJ the 25% threshold in that state, in gombe, Dankwabbo will fight a tough battle with Goje and the aPC, will be 50-50, in katsina , shema is so popular that even when CPC swept all other positions they couldn't touch Shema.GEJ will lose here tho as always, in Bauchi, Bala Muhammed and Yuguda will lead PDp to retain d governorship here but as always GEJ will lose here but secure the required 25%

All nigerians vote on sentiments and lagosians would vote for GEJ if a candidate such as Buhari with a subsisting image problem is chosen, the only chance of GEJ loses is if a fashola or ribadu candidature crops up which is very unlikely, the lagos ibadan expressway and the power reforms when well marketed in a campaign coupled with buhari's extremist baggage....

You people miss the whole point of delivering projects. Which Lagos Ibadan expressway is undergoing construction? The one I passed last week or is there a new one? Look if you will talk of projects, talk one we don't pass at all so your false info can be believed.

And power reforms, how do you explain to the woman who sells frozen foods and has not had power for the past one week that the plants are working fine? What's her business?

You removed subsidy from petrol which drove the price of transportation up, drove the price of petrol for Fueling generators up and their is no electricity and you wanna explain power reforms?

Is this a joke?

Solomon Ewuga is in a struggle with Tanko Al-Makura for the soul of APC in that state, Abdulahhi adamu won't change much, 19 of the 24 members of the house of assembly remain with PDP under the palms of akwe doma and labaran maku, GEJ won that state with 60% in 2011 and he will win again, I agree that PDP will lose Kaduna but the sizeable southern kaduna votes should be able to secure GEJ the 25% threshold in that state, in gombe, Dankwabbo will fight a tough battle with Goje and the aPC, will be 50-50, in katsina , shema is so popular that even when CPC swept all other positions they couldn't touch Shema.GEJ will lose here tho as always, in Bauchi, Bala Muhammed and Yuguda will lead PDp to retain d governorship here but as always GEJ will lose here but secure the required 25%
Solomon Ewuga and Almakura are definitely going to resolve their issues. Ever wondered why Nasarawa state government has calmed down on Ombatse clamp down? Leaving it in the hands of FG who has already "forgiven" them according to SS boss.. Lol. Aliyu Akwe Doma is useless in the scheme of things in Nasarwa. The heavyweights here are Tanko, Ewuga and Abdulahi and they are all in APC now. PDP is getting less than 25% here I can assure you. Kaduna no doubt is going to APC, you should know that the population of southern KD that will vote PDP in 2015 will reduce drastically because Northern christians have not been happy with this administration's handling of church bombings in the north. Gombe is as good as gone, Dankwanbo either join APC or watch his seat taking away from him. You can't compare a technocrat with a career politician in the person of Danjuma Goje. Katsina is going to the APC 100%. The only reason why CPC lost the governorship in 2011 was because Buhari attempted to force Masari on the people so the people protested by voting in Shema. 2015 will be a different ball game. In Bauchi, the people have scores to settle with Yuguda. He deceived them by joining ANPP, got Buhari to endorse him and as soon as he won the election he went back to PDP.. They have not forgotten. Bala mohammed is an Abuja politician, he commands little respect in Bauchi.

Mynd_44:
You people miss the whole point of delivering projects. Which Lagos Ibadan expressway is undergoing construction? The one I passed last week or is there a new one? Look if you will talk of projects, talk one we don't pass at all so your false info can be believed.

And power reforms, how do you explain to the woman who sells frozen foods and has not had power for the past one week that the plants are working fine? What's her business?

You removed subsidy from petrol which drove the price of transportation up, drove the price of petrol for Fueling generators up and their is no electricity and you wanna explain power reforms?

Is this a joke?
Like I said earlier, I frequently drive on the road and I took pictures of RCC construction work on the road albeit slow...I would open a thread on that later...and the power situation is steadily improving.
Btw, Sule lamido has joined babangida aliyu in staying in the PDP,he spoke shortly on AIT so the national assembly remains firmly in GEJ's hands

Southern Kaduna will deliver for GEJ 100% as always....GEj will name Isaiah Balat as minister in the reconstituted cabinet to appease the dissenting voices, Yuguda trounced the CPC candidate in 2011 who even had buhari's support, buhari's support hardly trickles to his parties candidates and only only the politically naïve will call Bala muhammed an abuja politician.....bala remains very strong on ground and I'm confident they'll deliver the required 25% in 2015.....and the immense powers of patronage dankwabo possesses will defeat Goje anytime, the other 2 senators remain firmly in support of dankwambo plus the state house of assembly and house of reps members, Goje is an astute politician no doubt but he has lost his footing in that state, even his erstwhile deputy joshua lidani has joined dankwabbo's group
Dankwabbo will deliver at least 30% for GEJ in 2015 and GEj will win as always in Taraba
