more reason why he will lose ... south east is PDP locked down , therefore he should chose from south west to split the vote there then give senate President to south east.... besides how comes the Igbos are now interested in presidency I tot most of them are saying they don't want presidency but Biafra..

egbabiekperemo1:


Your father idiotic buhari stole 2.5bn us dollars as minister of petroleum resources and has only 150 cows 2 show for it. Atiku whom u call a thief stole d funds and created 300, 000 direct and indirect jobs. So who is a better thief? ??

shizzleStar:

I'm bafflled by the effontery and temerity of these creatures called yorubas in the past few days, and I ask myself few question s:

Why are yorubas suddenly interested in the PDP vice president slot- A party They so much loathe and detest

Why do They suddenly want to produce a running Mate to Atiku Abubakar? -A man they hate so much hate, call currupt and insults at the slightest opportinty

Why have yorubas suddenly fallen in love with PDP since after the primaries that they are now advising PDP on what to do if they want to Win next years elections?-yorubas now find PDP so appealing and irresistable. Interesting isn't it?

Yorubas by nature are very cunny, mischievious, greedy, selfish, treacherous and deceptive. They have this overbloated sense of self-worth and value. Isn't it unbelievable that despite the fact that no south West state is currently giverned by PDP, yet these greedy people are asking for the VP slot under PDP on a platter of gold, where is that done?

Isn't it unbelievable that the south East and south south that has provided the much needed viable opposition to this current failed govt aren't even shouting for the VP slot unlike these loquacious and Greedy yorubas? You now ask yourself, on what basis are the Yorubas asking for VP? Why exactly do the yorubas now want to reap where they did not sow?

This is a region that cannot guarantee you electoral advantage or block votes, a region that always sits on the fence and votes are shared 50:50, a region that can't give you a landslide, a region whose votes are inconsequential and can't guarantee you electoral victory

Their overbloated ego and Pride won't allow them see that the large number of voters in Lagos for example has been largly neutralised by the presence of Igbos and other tribes which constitute a substantial number of eleigible voters as opposed to states in other region where eligible voters by tribe are homogenous, so those talking about South West having more voters are grosslyy ignorant and largely unreasonable.

The worst mistake PDP and Atiku will make is to take a non-igbo as VP or from any region other that the south East. That will cast a death knell on the PDP's ambition of defeating this evil and incompetent APC govt. The south East is not short of credible, capable, competent, prolific, proven and eminently qualified candidates to fill in the VP slot of the PDP. Any thing short of an Igbo VP candidate will result not just in voters apathy and boycott, but a considerable number that will vote will vote for APC, just to ensure that the PDP self-destruct is completed.

Buhari led government is a total failure, gross misfortune and monumuntal disaster of garguantuan proportions. Only mentality deranged persons would want this inept, incompetent and incorrigible government to continue in office for another 4years

The attempt by a few misguided yorubas to hoodwink the PDP into making this grave mistake of fielding a Yoruba vice will not fly. They know it will be an easy coast for buhari and APC if PDP dare make the mistake of picking a yoruba vice . We see through your greed and deceit, gone are the days when people fall for your cheap lies and propaganda. People have become wiser now. Atiku + an Igbo VP candidate is a done deal if we are to oust the lifeless one and send him back to daura through a cow ride

A word is enough.....

TundeBricklayer:
Ngozi Okonjo Iweala to me is the best option for VP.

Meanwhile I wonder how BMC Lagos/Ibadan branch will react if bubu change Osibanjo to southeast candidate their lover PMB will change to their worst enemy just like Ambode

hunter21:
I don't want okonjo iweala because she is a woman and fully of southeast origin I think Ike ikreremadu is best suited for the position

aydought:
Even though I am from South-West, I will still strongly support the idea of the running mate to Atiku coming from South East. That region has been alienated for long. Our brothers and sisters from that region should also be made to feel a sense of belonging, a beg.

seborrhic:

Please don't mention ekweremadu again,unless you are a silent Buhari supporter.
If Atiku dares nominate ekweremadu,he has lost my vote,and that of several thousands i am sure;of course not to Buhari,but to anyother candidate.
Ekweremadu has too much garbage,despite how he tries to use the ethnic card and Nigerian's disenchantment with Buhari to cover it up.Besides he has no practical electoral value,despite being the No.4 man,aside in his small senatorial zone.

johnpaul1101:
Whoever Emerges As The Vice Doesnt Matter, Not As Much As Replacing A Failure With A Man With High Tendency To Fail Also. Osibanjo Issa Good Man Serving As A Deputy To Our Lifeless P-man, Ipso Facto, His Goodness Is Not Felt Or Seen.
Even If Atiku Makes The Wisest South-eastern Tecnocrat/democrat His Running Mate. I Dont See How That Brings The Salvation Nigeria Craves For.
PDP has failed us,

Xander85:


Bros, it's 'too much baggage'! Then again, i suppose 'garbage' better captures your sentiments on the matter!

SarkinYarki:
Even if he delays his VP till next year we must still vote for him over Buhari!!!!!

Adakintroy:
Anyone believing atiku will win is just naively optimistic.

It's this kind of optimism poor people have while they pray and hope or the optimism gamblers relly when they are betting against 100 odds plus. Blind optimism.

If a Nigeria has no functioning institution. What are you all rallying on to ensure a free election. I mean if the case of ekiti and osun has not thought you all anything what will?. What will stop Buhari from appointing his own person as inec boss. Already apc lead the charge in states controlled 26-11 I think. So they already have the upper hand In that aspect. Apc already conducted primaries have shown they are not democratic enough to make assumptions. So what other hints do Nigerians want I don't know.

Am a nigerian, But am no fool. Just a straight talker. I knew that once you get it wrong with gej, it will run away for a long time before you get it back. It's not that easy. Bad people have their ways. They will intimidate bully or kill even. How will I have to choose between atiku and buhari. That does make sense. It's the scenero of devil and deep blue sea.

Atiku is a traitor. Obasango warn that he is the kind that can plot a coup to relieve his own master of power for his own ambition. That what exactly what he did to jonathan. The same man who spent billions to get jonathan out of office for buhari, is now fighting for the presidency and yu all want to vote for him. You are blind nigerians.that is why blind can lead you I swear.

Nigerians should just go to sleep and forget this election. It's a forgone conclusion in favor of the incubent.

This is not football were anything can happen. This is politics.

Ndolarr:
This US stuff about Atiku tire me o! Has America declared Atiku wanted for any offence? APC should rather concentrate on the good deeds of Buhari than focusing on Atiku's inability to visit US! Abacha did not visit any western nation during his 4 year reign, yet he did some good things through PTF, notwithstanding his looting cases! Did heavens fall then? No!

Kennydoc:


You're a joker! If Buhari chooses an Igbo VP, Atiku will win in the South West. Hope you remember that Buhari only won with 55% in the SW in 2015. South West votes are nearly equally shared between PDP and APC. Whoever will win the SW will win marginally.
If both PDP and APC field SE candidates as VP, Atiku will win Buhari hands down in the SE and SS. Buhari is the most detested politician in the SE at the moment.

bixton:



Please highlight how many companies are in the employ of the 300,000 direct and indirect jobs and what's the pay grade for each category?

ChrisMafian:
Atiku is Ipob
Ipob is Atiku

By next year, Both I, my family and all hardworking Igbos nationwide will vote Buhari

narrowpathy:


And what if Buhari picks a SS running mate and Atiku a SE Vp. What will be the permutations?

iammo:
All the best!, even the saraki tambuwal and kwankwaso supporters at the primaries have started begging, threatening and kicking hard for VP slot, anywhere bele face people.
"God forbid" atiku loses due to low PVC in Northeast and Southeast(bokoharam ravaged zone and economic migrants zone), as opposed the incumbent Northwest/Southwest (Federal might/vote buying centers) PVC numbers,
they would change tone again and start seeking another unrealistic agenda or simply start insulting and name-calling other tribes.

*If northerners could reject Bashir Tofa/Sylvester Ugoh in 93 to vote and vote Abiola/Kinigbe(Muslim/Muslim)

*Reject Buhari/Okadigbo 03 for Obasanjo/Atiku

*And reject Jonathan/Sambo for Buhari/Osinbajo

Common sense shows feasibility of such Northeast/Southeast project against Northwest/Southwest incumbency with enough federal might, however Sentiments always plays

Moukandjo:

Stop crying more than the bereaved with this your dry solidarity! Buhari has picked an Ibo vice like twice & it still didn't make any difference!
Why didn't the people you're speaking for vote an Ojukwu who they claim is the greatest Ibo man in history, when he contested for presidency some years back if they don't enjoy "marginalisation"?
