Good day all,

Here I would love to highlight on few reasons why the SE Governors and SE leaders meeting for a PDP VP consensus candidate won't fly.

I will begin by saying that this method is alien to Nigeria's politics:

Dating back to 1999 when democracy was reinstated. OBJ didn't consult the NE Governors or leaders in picking Atiku as his running mate. In fact they had no say on who OBJ would choose as his running mate. Same goes to when GEJ was picked as running mate to Yaradua. The SS Governors didn't influence that choice too. Also when PMB picked osibanjo. The SW governors didn't hold any meeting for any consensus candidate.

Secondly, SE governorship forum is not the highest national political decision making body.

Whereby the governors with some respective party comes together to share ideas in moving a zone forward, you will agree with me that they have shoved their parties and decided to work as one, for the betterment of the zone and not to influence national political elections.

They are not the right body to decide or reach consensus on political appointments or positions.

Imagine a scenario when a zonal governor's forum reaches a consensus on who will be the next governor of a sister state or the next running mate of a Governor. How disastrous can that be?

So is out of place for them to influence political appointments. In a scenario when the forum tries to adopt a candidate in contrast to the principal choice, dear readers how would that fly? How will the respective party see it? Anti-party right?

Let's observe this scenario, the Governor of Anambra state is an APGA faithful and he is also a APGA chieftain, and we know that APGA is fielding a presidential candidate for 2019. Then tell me how will this play out when there is a consensus candidate and agreement for a PDP VP by the SE Governors forum? or do you think Okorocha would work for the consensus candidate of PDP when he is an APC Chieftain?

Thirdly, why would the SE governors forum demand for special consultation if not for personal gain

moreover, this will never be in the interest of the zone. They might actually form the cabal that would dictate Atiku's presidency or isn't it what the cabal is all about? People who feels the presidency is their entitlement and so the presidency will do their biddings? Nigeria don't want this at the moment. So why are they feeling so entitled and ground standing?

And with many more reasons which I may not remember now but will try and update as I recollect.

In conclusion with these few reason you would understand the reason why the first SE governors meeting held to reach a consensus for a PDP VP candidate ended with stalemate.

Even the said party, PDP can't influence Atiku choice of running mate how then can a SE governorship forum?
I am of the opinion that they should leave Atiku to pick whoever he deems fit.

If you have any reason why you think that the SE governors forum meeting of choosing a VP candidate for Atiku won't work, you can use the comment below.

In all things , I personally think Dave Umahi is working for Buhari to undermine Atiku.

He has once said Buhari is his only boss save for his wife.

Chikpat:
I agree with you. They have no reasonable case. Igbo's are apt to be stupid a times. There are the only people so far fighting against Peter Obi's nomination. Even guys in APC believe that Atiku nailed it with his choice.

These same useless Governors did not consult us before proscribing IPOB.

Another Reason Is because we Igbos don't dance to the tune of politicians.

Is quite pathetic.

Like someone said in a particular thread.
Just about when most cheerful Nigerians are about to play blues BC of the atiku/obi combination, the enemies wan spoil the blues with reggae
