Thought GEJ was handing over to the wise men from the east.

ShehuAba: A beg where all those sai Ribadu PDP guys. Eeyah I pity this man now. This PDP can deceive somebody ooo. Chai There is God oooo.
The Stepping down for candidates in Adamawa, there is God oooo

Sincere9gerian: I hope Tinubu attack dogs read the report fully? The must important thing is that Ribadu and others were not forced to step down. There was no orders FROM ABOVE for certain candidates to step down. There was no preferred candidate by a godfather somewhere. There is no anointed candidate by a certain all powerful godfather. While joining PDP, Ribadu knew he would still have to contest with other heavyweights in a primary election. That is the BEAUTY of democracy and that was what attracted Ribadu to the PDP.

This is unlike the Aggrieved People's Congress (APC) where the godfather has already anointed a candidate to fly the party's flag

barcanista: All those are political statements my friend. Mark my words

NgeneUkwenu: [size=19pt]Papa Deceive Pikin[/size]


[size=19pt]PDP[/size]

It was agreed at the closed-door meeting that the six aspirants contesting for the
party’s ticket on Saturday will not contest for the position in 2015.

maestroferddi: Neither did it enter your brain that PDP wouldn't have been so naïve as to leave legal loopholes.

That those contesting must have been made to execute an exclusion agreement in 2015.

It might interest you to know that Ribadu is an astute lawyer...

ilugunn: I am sure Ribadu is yet to see the end of humiliation coming his way!

Toks2008:

Doro trash.

Im observing and we may likely see a back stabbing case just like our uncle JZona is planning to do and whoever wins this six months might just decide to push it further.

Tolexander: What kinda politician is this Ribadu self?

So obvious he is considered a threat to any political aspirant that will be presented by PDP if he is presented by APC for the gubernatorial election in Adamawa state. Hence, PDP has to get him out of the race, making him not contesting the election by using a gubernatorial bait which he couldn't resist.

If one doesn't take ones time to study nigerian politics before going into it, one will definitely be manipulated. At the end of the day, nothing would be gained but many will be lost.

barcanista: You are not smart due. "Gentleman agreement" such as this violates the fundamental right of the incumbent and is in contrary to the constitution. It is not LEGALLY binding on anyone and will be THROWN out by the court without delay.

naturalwaves:
You are so funny. The Democracy you referring to has to do with the right of the people to vote for whom they want not who the party puts forward. There is no stated law that says how a candidate must emerge from political parties.
Different political parties have different ideologies and so far so good, Tinubu's method has been more effective and worthwhile than your PDP that conducts kangaroo primaries. He sits down, draws up plans and brings out credible candidates not like the Pdp that parades criminals almost all the time and play politics of the highest bidder. The emergence of the flag bearer particularly in the East has to do with the highest bidder and that is why Tinubu is far more intelligent than the whole PDP put together.
Anyone that isn't satisfied with APC's style should go and float their own political party and see how easy it is to strategise, finance , maintain a party that will be a force to reckon with.
Moreover, the late Gani Fawenmi was a lawyer, when he came out as his party's flag bearer, did he conduct primaries? Did chris Okotie conduct primaries? Did Pat Utomi ever conduct primaries? Why weren't those ones attacked? I think it is time you stopped being obsessed with the highly intellectual Tinubu and face your party's business.
Left to me, I will always chose a system whereby all candidates are critically analysed and one of the best or the best is put forward (call it anointing if you like) and presented as a flag bearer rather than a method that gives rogues to contest, bid with money and the highest bidder or the one who is closest to the powers that be emerges the flag bearer.
PDP.....conducting kangaroo primaries since 1999. Afterall, Umaru emerged through one of the kangaroo primaries so, I am not surprised.

adanny01:

Unfortunately for you, that is not the case, you need to read well and understand.

PDP agreed that contestants for this election (only six months tenure before general elections) are not going to contest for 2015-2019 tenure. Ribadu has opted to vie for the full tenure which elections will hold next year. He chose not to be 'penny wise pound foolish'.

ratiken: Ribadu is being positioned for something greater. Watch this space.

If GEJ will hand over to a Northerner come 2019 2015 ..... It can only be Ribadu.

ShehuAba: A beg where all those sai Ribadu PDP guys. Eeyah I pity this man now. This PDP can deceive somebody ooo. Chai There is God oooo.
The Stepping down for candidates in Adamawa, there is God oooo

tomakint: .....too many clowns foaming at the mouth unnecessarily, Ribadu and 13 others were talked out of the race and they all agreed to step down without rancour (that is the beauty of democracy being displayed by PDP unlike APC) Ribadu is being positioned for a Ministerial post and future Governor unfortunately these bats are too blind to see the maturity displayed by PDP compared to their One Man Show Party!

And how and why are you so sure of this? Because you are Jonathan's closet confidante ba?

smh

A gentlemen's agreement (or gentleman's agreement) is an informal and legally non-binding agreement between two or more parties. It is typically oral, though it may be written, or simply understood as part of an unspoken agreement by convention or through mutually beneficial etiquette. The essence of a gentlemen's agreement is that it relies upon the honor of the parties for its fulfillment, rather than being in any way enforceable. It is, therefore, distinct from a legal agreement or contract, which can be enforced if necessary.

barcanista: APC as a party represent progressiveness with leaders like GMB, Pat Utomi, Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso, John Oyegun, and the Master Strategists-the Jagaban himself, Fashola and others on the frontline. We have our own defect which is common to every group. The APC is in favor of technocrats (Fashola/Fayemi) or political technocrats(Kwankwaso/Amaechi) steering the ship of government unlike the pdp that parades 90% rogues and marginalise the 10% technocrats

Sweetlemon:

You'd really believe anything! When was the last time a politician (especially a PDP politician) agreed to agreements in Nigeria?
