So PDP is looking for a Northern candidate....

Very very interesting.

In my opinion, 2019 is going to be one fine race. PDP choosing a Northern candidate might work in their favour...especially as APC is anathema in the SE and SS and crucially the Middle Belt. They might get a narrow win next year.

On the other hand...SE may be eyeing the presidency in 2023 (though as I have said elsewhere, an SE Veep means the SE gets into government for a potential 16 years, the last 8 being as president)...so APC might get somewhere in the SE...though that is a looooong shot. PDP still looking like the better option...16 years on top.

The unknown quantity is the SW....will the SW go for APC or PDP this time?

wink2015:


The only selling candidate in the pdp is Ex- vice president Abubakar Atiku.

Atiku is making wave because of his interest in implementing restructuring if elected.

This is a bold step especially coming from a northerner in a conservative northern Nigerian.

id4sho:

As a staunch PDP Man, we gonna build milk taps everywhere, 24k gold road. Nigeria is gonna be heaven on earth. you know na

zlantanfan:
you think restructuring is just a verb of convince, it is the national assembly that would be amending and changing the laws.

Atiku was vp and acted as acting president with full powers during obj absence at some point why didn't he restructure

They are all thieves. Buhari is still better than most of them and more honourable. The only issue with him is that age is not on his side anymore. But we will keep praying to God to grant him sound health and give him the know how wisdom to rule us.

FBIL:
Choose Enugu as Venue for maximum security, and variety of hotels as well as neat environment and freedom from Wike and Secondus interferences.
Steer clear of Buhari's North West, give it to North East
Choose an acceptable Vice from the South East
Share appointments without bias, especially to accomodate North Central.
Anything short of the above, my own South East state, which I understand too well, will vote Buhari this time because Kwankwaso is another Buhari coming for 8 years, so why won't us endure another Buhari for 4 years?

Donelli:
I've always noticed a pattern when I read through comments about Nigerian political landscape and it's quite funny really

I am curious, if the SE is a political non-entity as most posters desperately want to prove, why do you guys always make reference to the SE in every topic. Why not ignore the SE to oblivion. Or maybe it's not what you guys are trying so hard to paint.

Another issue I find confusing by definition is, reading the "SW" and "political sophistication" in one sentence. Yet "one man" controls their political affairs and I read how he is praised to the heavens. If the SW is as enlightened as one is wont to believe, one would expected the SW to be the drill zone for political aspirants. Unfortunately, it's just sheep mob mentality.

Furthermore, cult-following and core north are like synonyms so it's already clear to one why the powers that be would rather the north remains unenlightened for their political benefits.

It's possible that the core north do not trust the SE because they feel the SE cannot be controlled, which makes some sense in the political context; I'm still not clear what the average SWesterner's grouse is with the Igbos

What is the root cause of this ill feeling. Is there someone reasonable that can explain this to me once and for all please.

id4sho:
ATIKULATE is the most popular candidate but he won't sell like KWANKWASO in the north. I can attest to one thing, KWANKWASO is a core Grassroot politician with followers with his ideology. SARAKI is a stunt man with poor popularity .

Akaujaa:
Its needless beating a dead dog. Atiku is PDP's presidential candidate. Take it to the bank.

portacabin:
A very good VP from the South West is a game changer. What of Kwankwaso and Durotoye/Sowore ticket. We need to take away power from PMB and his horse by all means

semyman:
After 2019 PDP this will be how you will come out

theoldpretender:

4.SW was a monolith....as far back as 99. Nowadays...they have one foot in and the other foot out. See the last election. Two south west states went to PDP...Lagos nearly fell to PDP....prolly Ogun, Oyo and Osun that are APC sure bankers.

atleast theyre thieves including buhari himself.. Pls how did abacus loot nigeria? Via PTF...plsss who was the head of that parastatals? Buhari. If in this era of Google u still spew this rubbish of his integrity ure clearly esatz educationally. Atleast the other looters used the funds to build Nigerian successful businesses for a start I know atiku has been running Intel for over 25yrs and guess what? He didn't build it in the north. He is the only northerners I know that set up a major biz in the south. The rest also have businesses theyve ran in various capacities.......errrmmmm buhari was a minister of petroleum when 2.8 million got missing in 1978 and in 1983 he was head of state plus ptf chairman YET he can't boast of one share he bought tlkless of a business hes managed. And you magically think he can run a country. Atleast make una use common sense naw.

Eponyeeboz:


If you believe that Atiku a Fulani man would implement restructuring, you must also believe that the potopoto Jews of Alaigbo are really from Isreal.

Eponyeeboz:


The bolded is why the SW remains the Ace of Spades in Nigerian elections cos of its unpredictable voting pattern.

Make no mistake about 2019, the SW is voting Buhari and APC. Ask Fayose to tell you how far.

So, the SE is now ecstatic to vote for an Hausa Fulani candidate in PDP?
When they were calling others Hausa Fulani slaves for voting Buhari, commonsense was far from them at that time?

Funny clowns.

ponti93:
if i may ask... Assuming if the
SE decide to boycott the election.. What in your professional opinion will be the outcome
