The youths are not ready then. Why not come together and present a common front. The division among the youths is a gain for the power mongers in APC and PDP.

Is this how to send bubu back to daura?!

If these 3 great young men, that have what it takes to tackle President Buhari for the presidential election next year to some extent can't get it right, is it these sets of old and rugged rogues and thieves below that will defeat the incumbent?!.

The handwriting is on the wall.
Sai Baba all da way!

Lifeless Buhari can't be our president again. Never

ENUGU STATE & THE ODDITIES OF ENDORSEMENT BAZAAR:

Its indeed, heart wrenching and very great disservice to Enugu state, that while other states of the federation are commissioning built projects, to palliate & assuage the debilitating nerve wrecking penury within the polity,

Enugu state government, has embarked on a perdition detour of filtering away, our collective patrimony in a jamboree ENDORSEMENT GALORE of a governor, who in the past forty months of his administration, has no major project attributed to him, yet, he wants a second tenure by paying all manner of charlatans to endorse him.

To have opted for a cheap endorsement strategy instead of flaunting his achievements, is a glaring testimony that he has failed as a governor. He has stigmatized governance with sheer lack of road map which is an indispensable prerequisite for a dynamic & robust governance at the expense of NDI ENUGU.

To say that Enugu state has been in the doldrums since the emergence of Gov. Ugwuanyi amounts to over flogging the facts. Its therefore, most unfortunate, repudiating and worrisome that the government of Rt. Hon. Lawrence Ugwuanyi, in the past forty two months, cannot point to any major project or investment stride attributed to him,

What a set back for Enugu state that use to be a pace setter?, the governor is very well known for his big heart & buoyed generosity in given out largess to pals & political fratelli, but governance transcends such a trajectory as its based on vision & not ambition.

Governance is all about vision, creativity & ability to manage people & resources so as to optimize the political dividends for the good of the people, these germain hallmarks are none existent in this government.

His benevolence includes but not limited to doling out money to people at social functions, market places, hospitals & other sundry places instead of deploying same, for infrastructures that could serve a wider perspective.

Government is not & shall never be a father Christmas but unfortunately, that's the sordid state of things in Enugu state. While other states are commissioning major projects & wowing investors into their States,

Enugu state is building culverts & inaugurating pool betting & lotteries among pauperized indigenes, these shows you the level of thinking within the government & the amount of decay inherent in the welfare of NDI ENUGU.

The salient questions are: how many times have you seen Enugu state government showcasing their achievements on the television channels?, never, because they have nothing to show, only waste & profligacy, how many times have you seen Enugu youths & artisans attend empowerment programs both here & outside?,

How many schools have you seen getting facelifts?, how many hospitals have you seen been revitalized?. All You see on the social media & others are propagandry 'G17' & their ENDORSEMENTS therapy, one would therefore ask, when has endorsement become an achievement?,

NDI ENUGU should wake up & take up their destinies in their own hand as eight wasteful years in a life of a state, is a colossal draw back, time to act is now.

The governor has become a PAYMASTER for praise singers. If the governor has performed, he would have leveraged on same for his second tenure, but in the face of his abysmal performances, he's now resorting to all manner of ridiculous tactics including the laughable endorsement scheme, his only achievement so far.

Its therefore very imperative that NDI ENUGU must wake up now to rescue their state or brace up for another wasteful & barren four years while her neighbouring states are on the move.

Re: Sowore Rejects PACT Result After Fela Durotoye Emerged As Consensus Candidate by Spatta: 7:21am On Aug 31, 2018
Sowore is very smart, He attended the meeting of PACT and sensed that it was being sponsored by the Old corrupt guards, he stated in his video that he took a decision right there and then not to be part of the arrangement of the recycled old Politicians

AAC is the party to beat, they have become really popular, Sowore was busy Travelling around Nigeria and and the international countries meeting Nigerians and engaging stakeholders personally, while some of the aspirant in PACT were just online and and others dreaming to become President

Sowore did a huge consulting of Nigerians and traveled extensively he is more popular than all the candidate and well accepted both in the North and South because of his rare Boldness unlike the other chicken hearted aspirants

If they make a Mistake in choosing a less popular candidate, the old corrupt people might continue their jamboree

Fela is not as accepted as Sowore, He is just interested in his fashion wrapped up in his own Image, Fela is a like Saul, a King from central casting, he does not posses what it takes to take Nigeria out of the present rottenness

He is Just concerned about His suits and posing online. Not really because he loves Nigeria


Mogalu in his rejection Justified why Sowore is not a party to the Pact. Take it back is still leading in the race for 2019

I wish to inform members of my “To Build A Nation” (TBAN) movement, the Kingsley Moghalu Support Organisation (KIMSO) nationwide, the Kingsley Moghalu Volunteer Force, Youth for Kingsley (Y4K), Women for Kingsley (W4K), Kingsley Moghalu Disciples, the Young Progressive Party (YPP) and my other supporters nationwide and in the diaspora that I am pressing ahead with my plan to contest the 2019 presidential election.


This is despite the arrangement for a consensus candidate among the young presidential aspirants under the aegis of Presidential Aspirants Coming Together (PACT), which today produced an outcome that has left many Nigerians expressing surprise and disappointment.

The reasons I have pulled out of the PACT arrangement are as follows:

1. The arrangement had unravelled even before the final selection of the consensus candidate. Only seven aspirants participated in the final voting out of the original 18 aspirants, mainly because many of the aspirants had withdrawn from the process. Four candidates who were present in the meeting this morning withdrew from the process even while the voting process was ongoing. Therefore, PACT did not produce a truly consensus candidate.


2. Clause 13 of the PACT Memorandum of Understanding asserts the supremacy of the constitutional rights of the aspirants to pursue their political aspirations.

I therefore have chosen to continue without distraction to pursue my vision in the presidential race for 2019 in the national interest and in deference to the overwhelming outpouring of support for my candidacy from all parts of Nigeria.

I will remain focused on the objective of providing a competent leadership that will help unite our country and build a nation, wage a decisive war against poverty and unemployment, and restore respect for Nigeria in the society of nations.

It is my humble and well-considered view that the Office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria requires competence and experience in these three vital areas.

Thank you.

You are part of the process of presenting a consensus candidate but when it doesn't favour you, you back out claiming you were never part of the process.

Keep quite man. Stop saying what you don't know!!!

Sowore was never part of PACT. Only 19 members of the 23 Presidential Aspirants signed the MOU( Sowore was not among) and vote were casted and Fela was produced

This is what we called Click Bait
Sowore didn't reject any result because he was not part of the process

Sowore if taking a cue from his Sahara reporters can be roguish and unprofessional. Compare his organisation to the 'investigative' Premium Times and you can see a clear gulf in credibility and integrity.

The Book of Chronicles, Chapter Sowore Vs PACT. Written by Adeyeye Olorunfemi

For the avoidance of doubt and to clear the air about some claims that Sowore is claiming a larger-than-life status, it is important to state that neither Sowore nor the TakeItBack Movement is scared of a Selection Process for a Consensus Candidate to lead the revolutionary charge of over 100 million young people of Nigeria. But our perspective to this United Front remains that people must be guided ideologically. We are not 'entitled' to power because we are young. We must TAKE power because we are responsible and we would be responsible for it.

It is in this clarity, I would highlight the actions and inactions of the Movement chronologically.

- *The Movement dodged the CUPP bullet by refusing to answer the call of 5 member parties who were calling tirelessly for Sowore to declare under their platforms.*

- *The Movement ALLOWED its Convener to be part of the PACT Meeting of July 31st.*

- *The Convener, Omoyele Sowore portrayed the qualities of a leader who is not bigger than the Movement by giving a report of the meeting to the Movement.*

- *Weeks after, the Working Committee of TiB then released a Statement citing concerns about the selection process and giving recommendations to PACT on how best this working alliance could serve the oppressed Nigerians who are yearning for good representation.*

- *PACT never replied to address these concerns. Instead an article titled 'Is Sowore working to destabilize the 2019 Youth Consensus Agenda?' rented the air.*

- What were the concerns raised?

1. *Concerns about Commitment to support ANY consensus candidate that emerges: We note that several of the members of PACT belong to CUPP or are members of the PDP. As a movement, we cannot commit to a process that would require that our movement should support ANY candidate with direct or indirect ties to the PDP.*

2. *Concerns that the selection process excludes the Nigerian people: As a progressive movement we believe the Nigerian people should have a say in who their leaders should be. Instead of a process that places the fate of Nigerians in the hands of less than 20 people.*

- What recommendations were given ?

OUR RECOMMENDATION FOR THE WAY FORWARD TO A DEMOCRATIC CONSENSUS

1. *Continue with party primaries: The 17 youth presidential candidates belong to about 6 political parties, including PDP, YPP, ANN, ANRP, AAC and others. After the party primaries, which must all end by October 7th, based on the INEC timetable, the number of contestants would have been reduced through a democratic process to no more than 6 candidates.*

2. *Evaluate strength of party organization through the congresses and party convention: A consensus youth candidate that will defeat the APC and PDP must have a formidable level of support, structure and organization. The party primaries will allow Nigerians to observe the organizational capabilities of all the candidates.*

3. *Coalition Building Efforts are Continuing: We have continued to drive forward with our efforts for a United Front, not just with PACT, but with other political parties and organizations. We are glad to announce that Change Nigeria Party (CNP) is now part of our Coalition. Talks are ongoing with two additional parties - the radical section of NCP and NAC.*

In my understanding , the Movement maintained that to have a Consensus Candidate that would rebel against these old guards, such candidate must show capacity and political capital.
This must be a candidate that can mobilize 1000 people without sweating or paying through his or her nose.
This should not be a candidate that can't attend his party Congress for the fear of a 'masquerade'.

Great Nigerian Youths! It is not for us to rejoice that the United Front isn't working NOW. Maybe ww do not know. We are not doing either Sowore or any other young aspirant a 'favour' by supporting them. Remember it is OUR COUNTRY and FUTURE.

Now that the cards are scattered, I am of the opinion that for a United Front, we would have to go back to the drawing board considering the above recommendations of the TakeItBack Movement open-mindedly.

Haven been the seer in the political sphere for some time now, Sowore should be trusted by Nigerians for his discerning mind to deliver good governance.
By now we should be sure that he would always be AWARE unlike Buhari.

Yele Sowore is a rogue that should not be encouraged. He can't do shit! The only way that he could have remained with PACT was if he was picked as the consensus candidate. I'm not surprised at his attitude, he thinks elections into government positions are like SUG elections. PS. All those promises about the disabled, corp members and others are fake, don't fall for them.
