Going by the loss in polls in the 2015 elections, PDP needs to get his house in order in order to clinch back the central government. PDP needs to match the credibility of the present APC President in person of PMB. Hence the need for a vibrant candidate with youthful charisma, a less corrupt character (as all politicians in Nigeria are said to be corrupt including PMB).

Having gone through Ribadu's profile on the achievements he has made in academic, leadership and political office (as shown in link below), i think Ribadu is the candidate to match APC in 2019. If you think 2019 is too far then you are on a long thing. I also want us to nominate a Vice President from the South-West with a gentleman agreement to make an igbo the Vice-President in the second term should he win a second term. This way the igbos too can be acccomodated in the plan

Iffa hear, Ribadu wetin? He should just stick his nose in the leftover poo!

@saaedlee

You have not given any cogent reason why he is not sellable

Ribadu could not even win the state gubernatorialelection na.

How about Donald Duke for vice?

Do you think PDP hyenas and vultures will permit these two to ascend to power?

Any PDP candidate that is not of Igbo extraction can't sell in the east simple. Even Jonathan might not sell like he sold before in 2019. Its either an Igbo candidate or we will leave the election for the others and stay at home with our wife's and children. Even V.P will not work! This type that Ossy is? No no no no no.

@ mynd 44

What happened in d guber election cannot be used to adjudge Ribadu. What's d literacy level of Adamawa electorates to rate candidates according to quality and campaign promises? Besides, Ribadu lost because of d blind rush to APC having won d presidential elections.After 4 years of APC rule in Nigeria depending if PMB is able to perform(too early to make final judgement) people in Adamawa will now see reasons along with other Nigerians.Let's discuss his personal leadership qualities and abilities to rule to see if he stands a chance. I do not know Ribadu infact am from Southern Nigeria but his rejection of 15m USD from Ibori makes me place Ribadu as first class politicians.

@jcmaiah

Since APC currently have North-East and the SouthWest representation as President and Vice-President, its only wise for PDP to field credible candidates from this geo-political zones to stand a chance.

D only chances of igbo getting close to presidency is through PDP going by d facts that APC has proved to be anti-igbo party. Hence its wise for d igbos to support any winning formula the PDP can use in dislodging APC at d centre.

Hence a gentle man agreement that if the PDP proposal works, they will be compensated and placed on a road map to seeing the igbo presdidency in 8 years.Its far better than aligning with APC or sitting on d fence.

The same candidate adamawa rejected to buy

Flaws of a Ribadu candidature
* A one time association with OBJ
* A citizen of Northern extraction
* A onetime beneficiary of the ACN
* Lack of political experience
* Lack of a realistic conservative political ideology
* Lack of a wide geographical political fan base
* Lack of a strong vibrant political backbone in the PDP community

Jeboy, Nuhu Ribadu comes across as someone who lacks idealogy and will only jump to any ship that may favour him.

PDP, ACN, PDP again does not show one with leadership capabilities.

PMB was rejected by 3 geopolitical zones 3 times.

Either is southerner or a northern christian. Anything else na joke!

We will not be aligning with APC neither we will support another northern agenda in the name of wrestling power from the APC. Politically SS and SE are more connected compared to SW that is more like on its on. So fielding an Igbo our choice, apart from the Biafra struggle though.

@Itsobasi

Same Buhari Nigerians rejected became president. Its all about packaging.Ribadu may not be a money bag, may not have d political clout like the Atikus but he sure has integrity, he is educated, he is less corrupts than the average politicians, he appeals to the Youth. With PDP backing and support just like what APC did to Buhari Ribadu stands a chance.


@Andresia
Please mention one politician with ideology in Nigeria? Even our political parties do not have ideology. Facts is he represent a Change in d normal PDP politician and has the personal qualities and integrity to withstand any APC candidates.If you know any other better option please suggest.

@hinwazaka

There's no perfect politician.Buhari resume was worse than Ribadu but APC polished him with media paparazzi

Precisely, the new PDP, will not give a ticket to men with turncoat incentives

PDP will pick BALA MOHAMMED(former fct minister and senator) and PETER OBI for 2019

@Ugomba

Ribadu is better candidate than Bala Moh'md in terms of leadership qualities. Bala may be better in terms of political clout and having money to throw around.However notes that we have entered a new era of political dispensation where candidates integrity and leadership qualities overrides other factors.Buharis emergence is a reference.

Peter Obi is cool for VP but to get the SouthWest votes, we need a yoruba factorial which can place Peter Obi as SGF if it works in preparation to ascend to the presidency in latter dispensation just like Hilary Clinton to Obama model.

Ribadu is not bad, he has a reputation for anti corruption but is he an Overrall administrator? Is he popular and influencial to pull vote in the North more than Buhari? Does it mean that SW can not vote for a Igbo VP? Ribadu is NW same as Yar,adua so PDP will zone it to NE or NC, Bala Mohammed is from North East..
I still think that PDP will give it to Bala Mohammed and Peter Obi(or Ihedioha, osita chidoka or maybe my governor Okowa if he will be interested. etc)

@ Ugomba

I will do a research on Bala Moh'md achievements as FCT Minister.Because during election that will come to bear and if it isn't remarkable APC media team will use it to nail him. I agree Bala will make a strong contender but rallying around your best is crucial in contesting against a rulling party.Bala and PDP could rally round Nuhu to give him that political clout. For me any winning formula is of prioprity to region zoning.

Finally Bala Moh"d and Peter Obi are also good choice than can pull weight and give APC a run for their money if given maximum support.
