For the record, only General Muhammadu Buhari will get my vote and those of my acquaintace come feb 14,2015. I am firm in my belief that Atiku, Kwankwaso, Rochas and Sam Nda will all be thrashed. Any move or attempted move to deny General Muhammadu Buhari of the ticket means "a big No to APC" at all levels. I am very resolute here and watching keenly. I cannot campaign or vote for a man(Atiku) that is worse than the incumbent. Whoever think Atiku can bribe is way to the Presidency is mistaking. Should the delegates mistakenly elect Atiku, I will spit on them and will not vote for Atiku no matter who he picks as vice.

Atiku is going nowhere- roundabout!
There is no better way or time for buhari/tinubu to pay Atiku back than this time. Atiku was the person that further spread that lies by ahmed oyediran and isah prior to 2003 election, which till date put buhari in the eye of some feeble-minded Nigerians as a religious fanatic. It will be sweet for him to lose to GMB today. Again, the same Atiku was the one Tinubu helped to secure the ticket to run for presidency on the platform of the defunct acn, only for him to dump the party in 2011 for pdp. Tinubu and co watched that action of Atiku with pain and today's should be used to pay Atiku back in his own coin. He(ATIKU) should be made to see that there is gain in building what u want to benefit from. He cant dump d party in 2011 and come back in 2014 to fly the flag of the party at d poll. We want an un-adulterated opposition figure to fly our flag.
Sai Buhari!

Gbawe2:


Bro, don't work yourself up. Buhari will win . They will chop Atiku's dollar and deliver a resounding Buhari win.

If no be say you no get sense, so you expect a progressive poster to tell you his location knowing fully well how hateful and desperate you guys are? Bros, I'm not at the convention ground, I am not a paid dude neither am I being rewarded for what I do here. I am a patriotic Nigerian, a progressive and a believer of the candidacy of Muhammadu Buhari. My passion for change and competent leadership at all levels(especially Rivers, Lagos and the Center) is my motivation.

D9ty7:

Exactly what I am anticipating, but hey! Politics in Nigeria, you can not rule out the possibility of a rich candidate carrying the day.
But if the so-called 8,000 delegates from the 36 states pitch their tents with an aspirant with the best pedigree and anticident, which we were made to believe is Buhari, then we know the outcome of the primary. But politics in Naija, no one is interested in what you have done in the past, they are interested in what you have to offer, money inclusive.
I just hope the best candidate wins.

barcanista:
Amen o! Atiku Abubakar is so disgusting. Why is he trying to use money to blackmail delegates? Is APC the pdp that he was? He should allow delegates to vote in accordance with their conscience and aspiration of their representatives without the feeling of guilt. Anyway, I shall monitor events closely from A to Z and we all shall have cause to celebrate the victory of General Muhammadu Buhari.

EldaTimba:
Barcaman, I asked a simple question. You need to take a trip to the APC presidential primary live thread and see how dull the thread is. No update, no feedback. In short, the thread is the most boring of all elections. I am still waiting for gbawe2 and aressa though to give us feedbacks. One would have thought that with the way you guys signed or endorsed GMB, you would have being given a slot not knowing your followership is inconsequential and carry no weight as to the primary election.

So on point. Considering what happened in Akwa Ibom state guber primaries(APC), where the most "loved" and loyal aspirant Sen Akpan Udoedehe was shoved aside for an 11th hour PDP decampee and a thuggery moneybag Umana Umana. Or what happened in Benue State where the popular APC aspirant with cult-following was dropped for a PDp moneybag and incumbent Senator Barnabas Gemade who joined at the 11th hour, 59 mins. We all must be very watchful against hijackers. The delegates have shown that anything is possible

barcanista:
That thread was created too early, so nothing much to expect Bro, I don't have to be a delegate to get my voice heard, neither do I have to be a card-carrying member. I laugh at people like you for you don't know the influence of the progressives on prospective voters on nairaland. I won't go further than this.

Btw: apologies 4 the insult... You de lag?

This is getting interesting!

Atiku may win!

D9ty7:

You've said it all. You see, these so called decampees will cause APC more harm than good. We all know they came from PDP and they are house hold names in the PDP, now that they are in the APC, they'll still want to enjoy that privilledge. Look at Gbemade's case, a few hours after he decamped, he got the ticket.
I saw your comments on a thread yesterday concerning Benue's politics. We were made to believe that 12 out of 14 apc governors are drumming their supports for GMB which is a major plus. Meaning, they want GMB in Aso rock come May 29 2015. If the delegates end up voting Atiku, do you think they'll vote for him at the general election?
Have you thought about the agrieved APC memember?
Rightly said, these delegates are unpredictable, lets just hope they don't go for the money.

experimentist:
Yes bros/boss, no be lie. I believe Atiku knows he's not going anywhere.. APC knows their presidential flag bearer all is just stunt.. Atiku vs GEJ is a political suicide for APC..

Caseless:
yes, my bro! The party leadership of the party are not even comfortable with Atiku. The criteria for picking john oyegun as the chairman of apc ahead of tom ikimi, who worked assidously for the merger to actualize was that, he oyegun, has been in d opposition since 90s and , has not fallen for juicy contracts pdp lure people into their fold with, while ikimi was once a pdp member and coudn't be trusted by the party ('cos once a pdp member, always a pdp member). I think that rule/criteria shld apply to who we choose as our presidential candidate. Atiku does not meet this. Tinubu was able to make history by making merger of political party work in nigeria for the first time and, the needed target must be hit to complete d circle- which winning election with the merged party. If they make the mistake of fielding atiku , apc ceases to exist from today.

berem:
Shut the fucck up and don't derail my thread.

Back to the topic.....

D9ty7:

bro, how sure are you? If the delegates vote for money, Atiku will win, but if they vote for the candidate with the right pedigree, I think Buhari will win.
But you can't rule out the possibility of money changing election result.

experimentist:
True! It's time to hit the nail on the head with a sledge hammer!

Caseless:
i buy this post.

barcanista:
I am more concerned after looking at the way those decampees get their way because of their names and money not based on credibility. If APC really want public support, they have no choice other than putting GMB on the ballot. Otherwise, like donphilopus said, we the Nairaland progressives will lead the campaign against Atiku Abubakar.

experimentist:
Take it. It's free bro

Caseless:
money didnt change results in various primaries held across the nation(both pdp and apc's primaries), so this wont b different. Nigerians are wiser now. They now collect money and now vote d candidate of their choice. Atiku wont win by God's grace.
