What do you think?

I have noticed that 99% of people who support PDP/GEJ on NL are from the SS/SE, while there is a huge mix of people that are anti-GEJ.

You have to look again

Pdp is not a regional party. It is a national party. Thats why it won the presidential election. Until they are unseated at the presidential level and remain dominant only in the SE, pdp remains a national party.

Oh yes o!
Like APGA!!!!!
It will become a A LOCAL South-South party for REETARDS AND IMBECILES like GOODLUCK AND PATIENCE!

South-South and SOUTH-EAST don carry LAST AGAIN!!!!!
No BIAFRA PART 2 needed!

DUNCES!!!!!

During the last election APC didn't exist and PDP wasn't tearing itself apart.

Very different.

OP, did I see you write SS/SE?? Check it very well, APC/PDP share 50:50 SSners on Nairaland.

the president of nigeria is in what political party?

You are being purposefully daft.

The title of this thread, "Is PDP becoming a regional party?"

You keep bringing up 2011 when we are two weeks to 2014. We have already discussed the major changes since then. If you have no answer, just say so and leave space for others to discuss with maturity.

Yes na!

I get am b4 no be property,pdp (was) a national party,now is ss/se party,period.

Nigeria have 5 region. sw and north support Boko haram, middle belt SS SE support GEJ but PDP is regional?
PDP has representation in the government of all regions, no other party does
PDP heads the united nigeria

With the recent events, PDP is becoming a party with a major base in SE/SS/NC while APC major base is SW/NW/NE.

When you look at this geographically, it tells you a possible sharp of post-Nigeria countries when ethnic groups realign with similar groups.

With time, the only stronghold of the PDP will be the SE, where it will restle with APGA. In the SS the APC will be a strong party. Already members of the House of Representatives from Rivers State have defected to the APC.

The OP shouldn't deceive himself . . .the PDP always has a strong showing in every election , even where the APC feels it has her strong base..

PDP will continuously remain that National party in structure and might. The APC are still coming up.

nigeria is a one party state

You can't be this silly not to realize Rivers state is only one state in the SS, then again you may be that silly to actually believe it is. I give up bro.

PDP used to be a national party...now they are no better than any of the other regional parties.

is gradualy taken dat status, SE/SS party.

The same can be said of APC.

In its first major election, which was way outside its comfort zone, APC pulled 90,000 votes.

That's a lot of people.

14 year old PDP pulled the same 90,000 in their own stronghold. The best they could do was to equal APC.

Very interesting to me. If 90,000 people in Anambra want APC, what of the rest of the country??

It's also important to remember that a mere two days after the Anambra election, The G7 governors decamped to APC. Clearly, they saw something they liked in the results.

The same APC candidate won his senatorial election in Anambra due to his popular rating and not cos of the party he belonged to (ACN).

The part in red deserves the best comic post of the week.

Your are a political novice

The Minority Leader of the Anambra State House of Assembly, Tony Munagor is even APC.

PDP states: Abia, Akwa Ibom, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Benue, Cross River, Delta, Ebonyi, Enugu, Gombe, Jigawa, Kaduna, Katsina, Kebbi, Kogi, Niger, Plateau and Taraba.

Hardly restricted to SS and SE. 7/18 of PDP states are in the SS and SE combined, and there's representation from all zones except the south west.

63.6% of SS+SE states are PDP (60% of SE and 66.7% of SS) while 83.3% of SW states are APC ( almost a perfect 100%. only Ondo is not APC. They're loyal to LP) . The north + MB is split at 57.9% PDP and 42.1% APC.

Which of these is the regional party? Surely not PDP. But we'll see how things shape up in the coming months......

Kairoseki77:

Ngige political clout was solely responsible for those votes and not due to the party he represented. I simply butressed my point by telling you he(Ngige) achieved a noble feat of winning his senatorial election with a "regional ACN party".

People look at the candidate and not the parties . . . .

Two problems with your contribution.

1. You didn't list any of APC's info, so you are not making a comparison, you are just stating where PDP is. We are talking of where they are going.

2. The Northern states are CURRENTLY leaving. Which is why the question is "Is PDP becoming a regional party?" The trend is that PDP is losing support in all the areas you named, while APC is gaining it. Your list two months ago would have had five more states. Those states are gone.

Where they are going will not be known till the day after the 2015 election.

We shall see.

Considering the level of public hatred shown toward Northerners by PDP members on NL, I can't imagine that their relationships will be improving.

Hatred is equally divided across all ethnic groups in Nigeria. The 2015 elections, will be a great election, about our tomorrow not our yesterday. The PDP will make a great case for our best days are still ahead than APC that wants to roll back time. PDP is not and can never be a regional party.

The worst thing for Nigeria will be to remain a one party state. That will KILL us.

Yes, my contribution is a snapshot of the status quo. But the point Is that, at the moment, APC is already just short of 100% in the west whIle the North is still in mid-move (abandoning a national party to identify with a regIonal one). The migration of the North ( minus MB) to APC will complete the political realignment and the regionalization of both parties.
