Policies, records and achievements apart

One thing that has made the PDP a national party and helped it attempt to keep most regional loyalists happy is its promise of rotational presidency to different geopolitical zones.
Because lets face it we are still a very devided country with little trust for others.

Hence the way the Mega Party or any political party for that matter can ecclipse this advantage the PDP has is to simply have a written documented agreement that a North West candidate will be chosen in 2011 to complete the turn of the Northwest after 4years by 2015 power is guaranteed to move down South.

Because at the rate we are going Yar'adua may easily win the 2011 election by playing on this as his trumpcard. If the so called Mega-Party select any other Northern candidate PDP will deploy their political associates in the South to remind Southerners that any other Northen candidate but Yar'adua will mean 12years of power for the North. I know there are those who will try to dismiss this as old way of thinking but this argument will resonate with Nigerians and it will surely resonate with Southerners.

If the Mega-Party on the other hand select a Southern Candidate, Yar'adua surrogates of the North will simply remind Northerners that they are entitled for 8years of power after Obasanjo. This again will resonate with the North and Yar'adua will coast home with victory either way by majority support from one-half of the country and sharing the votes from the other half.

Hence the Mega-Party or any other paties hoping to wrest power from the PDP must be strategic and pre-empt this unique advantage that may return Yar'adua to power on a platter of gold. The solution is to legitimise and legalise the PDP rotational policy in other parties so that the next election in 2011 can be won a records, achievements, and policies.

Now some will say 2011 Nigeria should be able to elect people on merit without the need for a rotational policy but the fact remains that their are credible Presidential candidates from all geo-political zones and those who will want to subscribe to our cynical side will win the argument if they can provide statistics to show some are being favoured over others. In our question to build a one strong indivisible, just and egalitarian society we need to recorgnise our unique challenges and take unique actions to address them.

Most Nigerian politicians have ONLY one ideology - Get Rich or Die Tryin'
