But at this critical moment, they should allow Tinubu to have a say else he'll sell out cos he has nothing to lose.

Rather he will start another dubious merger with either APGA or SDP against 2019 in order to bury APC with Buhari over ambition and stay afloat cheesy

What do you think? wink

Tinubu can have a say, but not the VP slot.

The only way APC would have wrestled power from PDP was the pairing of Fashola-Oshimole ticket.

If they had paired this performer and a labor leader, GEJ will not come out from this election without a serious injury..

Why did you choose to put yourself in this disadvantageous situation?

Apc needs a northerner to capture the north. Don't 4get they av the largest share of votes. Mallams will follow their brother like cows.

Wole Soyinka calls promoters of General Buhari 'pitifully
naive'.
VERSE OF TODAY:
"The grounds on which General Muhammadu Buhari is
being promoted as the alternative choice are not only
shaky, but pitifully naive.
Records are not kept simply to assist the weakness of
memory, but to operate as guides to the future. Of course,
we know that human beings change. What the claims of
personality change or transformation impose on us is a
rigorous inspection of the evidence, not wishful
speculation or behind-the-scenes assurances.
Public offence, crimes against a polity, must be answered
in the public space, not in caucuses of bargaining. In
Buhari, we have been offered no evidence of the sheerest
prospect of change.
On the contrary, all evident suggests that this is one
individual who remains convinced that this is one ex-ruler
that the nation cannot call to order."
- Prof. Wole Soyinka.

Rotimi Amaechi, governor of Rivers state, has revived his hopes of getting the vice-presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC), launching a last-minute move to dislodge Bola Tinubu, former governor of Lagos, who had looked all set to fill the slot.

Backed by Bukola Saraki, former governor of Kwara state, as well as some APC governors opposed to the candidature of Tinubu, Amaechi got the enlarged meeting of the party’s leadership in Abuja on Monday night to reset the entire selection process.

The opposition to Tinubu is based on the need to avoid a Muslim-Muslim ticket, an argument that will also knock out Babatunde Fashola, the governor of Lagos, who is well loved in many parts of Nigeria.

Tinubu is also being opposed on the basis of his “past” ─ although his supporters argue that there is no case against him, neither has he been convicted in any court of law.

Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the party, had ceded the choice of his running mate to Tinubu as the political leader of the south-west, which is the second largest voting bloc in the country.

In his calculations, Buhari had sought to avoid the mistakes he made in the past when he picked his running mates all by himself, deciding that a major power bloc should be involved this time around.
However, the south-west caucus of the APC met for long hours last weekend and could not come to a definite decision, but narrowed down to Tinubu and Yemi Osinbajo, a professor of law and former attorney general of Lagos, as well as Adams Oshiomhole, governor of Edo state which is in the south-south region.
Buhari is said to be “unenthusiastic” about Osinbajo because his gamble with Tunde Bakare, also a pastor, did not work in 2011.

But the presidential candidate is also worried about the backlash of abandoning Tinubu, who is expected to deliver the south-west in the 2015 poll.

Amaechi, who had been the biggest financier of the Buhari bid, had been left in the lurch, but his maneouvers in Abuja on Monday night may change the course of events.

Not only has it changed the direction of the discussion, other southern zones are now making a strong case for the VP slot.
The south-east, which had initially been written off as a no-go area for Buhari, is now asking to be considered, with former ANPP chairman, Ogbonnaya Onu, former Anambra governor, Chris Ngige, and governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha, being given a look-in.

The enlarged meeting has now pushed the decision back to Buhari to make by himself in what will potentially put the former head of state in a tight corner.

On Jonathan and Buhari 2015
• Jonathan Will Win And Nothing Will Happen
Badero Olusola
Lately, the Internet has been buzzing with loads of
predictions, postulations, and endless rigmaroles. Some
reasonable and most tissues.
Like I will always confidently say, 'Jonathan and PDP will
win 2015 election convincingly without rigging or any
form of manipulation, as the APC would want to make us
believe. Jonathan don't need to rig before defeating
anyone in Nigeria. The structures are there for him to
utilize to his advantage. I will explain my observations as I
proceed.
Why Jonathan and PDP will always win
PDP is a conglomeration of amalgamated interests. It is a
house built by the 'Owners of Nigeria'. They conceived it,
nurtured it, watered it, grow it and now living in it. All the
notable power brokers in Nigeria are the founding fathers
of PDP.
PDP is a party built on interest and no personality. It
doesn't have any religious or tribal coloration. It is the
combination of all interests that has been winning election
for PDP in Nigeria and not the personalities. That is why
the Presidency of Nigeria is still in the grip of the likes of
Obasanjo, Danjuma, Gusau, IBB, Abdusalam etal. They
meet, they talk, they share, they fight, they embrace one
another in the estate called "Nigeria".
Jonathan is just the face of PDP. The representative of
these interests. These men choose governors, senators,
house of reps members, LG Chairmen, the state
lawmakers, ministers, commissioners, even the councilors.
They protect their interests underground without any of
you knowing.
But they've give us a face - the President, to talk to every
time we are angry. At the end, their opinions will
supersede ours, even when they do comprise, their ways is
Nigeria's ways.
They are the people called the 'Council of State.' They are
the power behind the President and the seat of Presidency.
It goes to who will serve their interest, only.
They are in control of the police, army, INEC, and
whatever agencies of the FG. Their men are those in
command of these agencies.
That is why they said, "the seat of a President in Nigeria is
the most powerful seat in Africa". Whoever finds himself
on that seat, no mater how you hated him, he will
automatically be the controller of these powers.
These PDP Power Brokers made Obasanjo President
without the votes of Yorubas.
Obasanjo know this. He is a member of the group. He is
just being cantankerous in his recent vituperations. He
knows no one can defeat Jonathan in Nigeria. That is the
way Nigerian Presidency is built. It is an institution these
owners of Nigeria won't let outsiders occupy. What do I
mean by "outsiders"? If you are not in their clique, you will
never rule Nigeria. Obasanjo broke the rule when he
brought Yar'adua and Jonathan. They could forgive him
for Yar'adua but not for Jonathan. But instead of them
joining Obasanjo to fight Jonathan, they are rather
supporting the President to deal with Obasanjo and his
interests. They don't trust Obasanjo. That's why Obasanjo
is doing everything possible to turn America against
Jonathan and then get him change his mind from
contesting again. He knows that the way Nigerian
Presidency is built, nobody can defeat an incumbent
President in Nigeria.
Secondly, PDP seems to be more grassrooted than the
APC. APC controls 16 states, compared to 19 of PDP. APGA
will always mobilize for Jonathan in Anambra. All PDP
National Assembly members will work for their own
return and invariably work for Jonathan.
You may want to mention Lagos, Rivers, Sokoto and Kano
are under APC. But have you forgot that southwest is no
longer under the tight grip of APC? Have you forgot they've
lost Ekiti and Osun is shaking? Ogun is not sure and Oyo is
scattered? Ondo is PDP and lagos PDP have presented
Agbaje. Jimi Agbaje is a candidate to beat.
Rivers state is originally a PDP state. Don't expect everyone
to go with Amaechi. Don't expect a bulk vote for APC in
lagos, Kano and Rivers. In fact, don't expect any bulk votes
for APC in the states their governors were formerly of PDP.
It will never be a bulk vote for any APC candidates either in
those states.
Mind you, the owners of Nigeria are lurking by the corner
and will also swing things in favor of their favorite interests
protector.
Have you asked yourself "why the Presidential Election will
come first in the general election?" It is a strategy put in
place by power brokers to forestall any sabotage or any
sellout to the second term ambition of Jonathan. If you
betray him in your state and he lose, you will have
something to deal with in the remaining 3 months of your
tenure. Since all of them are thieves, they'll protect their
loots. Same goes to some APC state governors too. Some
of them will cut deals with the Presidency at the eleventh
hour, to safe their heads too.
Seeing loads of articles online and thousands of comments
abusing the President and his party, PDP, I am reminded
of the 'SCOTLAND Referendum" of September 18, this
year.
It was obvious the young generation of Scottish people
wanted to get off the ramshackle of poverty, induced from
Westminster in London. Online activism sprung up like
bees. Jingles and street campaigns. It was marvelous.
Independence was near.
But, the morning of September 19 brought many
disappointments and heartbreaks. When the reality started
settling in. The Nationalist were loosing. By the end of 19th
of September 2014, the results were ready. The Scottish
voters rejected independence. They voted to remain part
of the United Kingdom.
"How could this happen"? People were shocked. "But we
won on the social media. YouTube, Twitter and all the
online media outlets on earth felt the shout of 'we want
freedom' of the Scottish people". But the owners of the
country. The aged. The pensioners. The real British people
who have come of age. Whose understandings of the
British workings transcend the normal ignorance of
today's youth. Those who knows better - voted for the
UNION.
They were 55% and those youths who wanted
independence were 45%. Case closed.
Same is happening in Nigeria today. Winning election is
beyond Facebook or Twitter. Those ardent critics of PDP
on Facebook are not even voters. Some won't even vote
on that day. Some are fake FACEBOOK accounts without a
life. All these are what is giving the opposition hope. I call is
"false hope".
Everyone is already thinking "only God can stop Buhari".
Which Buhari? The same "Clueless" Jonathan will not only
stop him, he will disgrace him.
Jonathan or PDP don't need to rig any election before they
can win. The structure is there. All he need is to
consolidate on the 19 states under PDP. And win 25% of
votes cast in 5 more states and he will be home and dry.
Buhari needs to look inward into crises ridden fabrics of
APC and its managers across the states under its control.
The pictures they are presenting to the General, about
southwest votes are not reliable.
If you heard about Jonathan's victory next year, before
you go out and soak urself in Blood, take a second look at
this post again.
Like the Scottish people who voted "YES" but still lost,
some of you will not understand why Nigerians would vote
for Jonathan, until after the election. During the Scottish
referendum campaign, the youths were seen on video
taunting the Labour Party Ministers on the street of
Glasgow. The voters were watching and shaking their
heads that "are these the young ones we will leave the
runnings of this country to?"
Nigerians will ask same question from the APC as the
campaign starts, and in their usual manners, they will not
stop castigating the office of the President and at the same
time threatening to kill whoever vote for Jonathan. By
February 14 next year, the people will choose between a
Good, focus government and a terrorist political party full
of bloodsuckers!
"Politics is not magic. It requires strategies"
To be continued...
