The All Progressive Grand Alliance says it cannot throw its weight behind President Goodluck Jonathan as it is very likely that the candidate of the All progressives Congress, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), will emerge the winner of the presidential election next month.

The Chairman of the Lagos State chapter of APGA, Mr. Campbell Umeh-Nzekwe, who is also a special adviser to the national chairman of the party, said this during an interview with our correspondent, on Sunday.

Umeh-Nzekwe said Jonathan’s problem was compounded by the fact that the motion to adopt him as the consensus candidate of the Igbo for the 2015 presidential election failed at the Ime-Obi (inner caucus) meeting of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, on Saturday, in Enugu.

He added that the sermon of renowned Enugu-based Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, that Jonathan had failed and should step down seemed to have sent shockwaves across the South-East.

He said the party was sure that Jonathan would not win votes in the North.

He said, “The game has changed. As it is, Jonathan has no chance of winning. Buhari seems to have taken over. The PDP has collapsed in the North if you care to know. All those who are running to Aso Rock and making promises to the President are just deceiving him.”

When asked if APGA would be supporting Buhari next month, Umeh-Nzekwe said he could not say for sure.

He said, “Jonathan is a sitting President with incumbency factor in his favour but Buhari has the masses and a cult following in the North. In 2011, Buhari won 12 million votes in the North with his rag-tag party, the Congress for Progressive Change, without a single governor or senator to campaign for him.

“Today, his party, the APC, has 14 governors, 43 senators and 176 Reps as well as 625 House of Assembly members. Also, the APC has dominant control of the North-West with a total number of 18.4 million voters and North-East with 10.2 million while South-West has 13.4 million voters

“ The PDP has dominant control of the North-Central and Abuja with 10.4 million voters while the South-South has 8.5 million and South-East has 7.2 million votes.

“However, no zone has achieved 50 per cent of votes cast but northern voters are more committed and trustworthy than those in the South.

“Also, look at Jonathan’s campaign team. He has Col. Ahmadu Ali (retd.) as his Director General and Peter Obi as the deputy while Buhari has Governor Rotimi Amaechi and Senator Olorunnimbe Mamora as director general and deputy respectively. It is time for Ndi Igbo to review their strategy.”

This is betrayal anyways am no tribalist



If buhari brings out his certified certificate I promise to vote for him if he does not do that





GEJ till tha kingdom comet

donphilopus:
PDP is already a sinking ship. Little wonder an APGA Governorship Candidate tagged himself with Buhari in his campaign posters. They (PDP) have failed Nigerians and we will fail them in return with our votes come February 14th!

emiye:
What i know already.

TANoids still under illusion.

The game was surely over after Dec.11, 2014, when APC concluded its presidential primaries and their was no rumble thereafter.

Some misguided SS/SE fellows still believe so much about GEJ presidency.

In each of the 36 states /fct, there is none GEJ will get the same or more percentage of votes like he got in 2011.

Gbawe:
The support for GEJ will collapse so spectacularly in the next few weeks some TANdroids will think they are watching a horror movie. Some people are simply too ethnocentric and prejudiced to appreciate the anger against the most privileged President Nigeria has had who went on to squander enormous goodwill because of primordial avarice and a total lack of principles that led him to reject doing what would have made the name GEJ solid gold in the annals of history.

[b]God provided everything and virtually every condition to favour GEJ to the extent even oil per barrel price was ridiculously high throughout almost the entire 5 years GEJ has been President. At this stage some foolish TANdroid now think pointing at some roads, substandard schools , a fraudulent power privatisation scam and 'patch-patch' of some antiquated rail service will get GEJ another 4 years? how stupid are some Jonathanians and TANdroids? We know how , conservatively, $100 billion or more has disappeared into thin air under GEJ !!! This is money that could have turned Nigeria into a nation on course to becoming a developed Country !!! Would any of us consider it fair 'payback' if we spend N1 million to buy a car only to then be given a bicycle worth N2,000? Jonathan has taken a lot and given Nigerians nada in return yet all his buddies and cronies are on private jet level. Nigerians are going to reject GEJ so horribly, even his most ardent noise-makers and backers will hide when they see the passion against their 'oga'[/b].

DIVINE78:
This is goodbye to GEJ.
Henceforth, SSS, police, civil defense, army etc should be stationed at Aso rock gate to arrest whoever is coming to dupe the Dumbo in the of collecting money from him for 2015 election campaign.
Directive should be given by Dumbo Olisa Metuh, Mimiko, Peter Obi and FFK should be shot on sight is seen within 1km radius of the State House.
EFCC should arrest the brain behind TAN.
Dezani Maduekwe should be made to give all employed graduates la* dance.
Bastard Okupe and Abati should be sacked for creating enemies for the president.

beopened:



Finally even if General Muhammadu Buhari presents a NEPA Bill as Certificate............Change-Hungry Nigerians are ready to vote for him resoundingly

taharqa:


The MODS should plzz change the title of this thread from 'AGPA favours Buhari to emerge as President' to 'Mr. Campbell Umeh-Nzekwe bfavours Buhari to emerge as President'.

The said man DOES NOT SPEAK FOR AGPA LAGOS NOR APGA NATIONAL (both of which adopted GEJ as their Sole Presidential candidate less than 3 weeks ago).

The Clown certainly do not also speak for the vast majority of Igbos who has since rejected APC completely. Ask Dr Cghris Ngige if you are in any doubt.
