Only a fool would team up with known thieves.

Especially those who have ruined Nigeria since 1967.

Davematics will win the election. Maku should just teem up with PDP.

Lie

SoupEmbassy:
Labaran Maku once again showed that he is still the most popular candidate among the three major contestants in the forth coming election. Here are pictures from yesterdays flag off in Lafia.

Former Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, has again joined the Nasarawa State governorship race despite loosing to the incumbent Governor Almakura (APC) in 2015. Maku on the other hand assert that he won the election in 8 Local Governments, but it was manipulated in favour of Almakura by desperate influences.

Maku, who is the National Secretary of APGA, left the PDP where he served as commissioner, deputy governor and Minister to join APGA when he was rigged out of the primaries in favour of the least of all aspirants on ethnic and religious grounds. Maku ended in second place beating the PDP candidate with a very wide margin in the state during the 2015 general election. It is belived that it is his results that was swapped for Almakura.

Maku notwithstanding the outright robbery of his mandate in the polls and the tribunal is in the race again for 2019 and so far is the most popular candidate among the top three A.A. Sule (APC) David Ombugadu (PDP) and Labaran Maku (APGA)). Commentators are of the view that he may find it difficult to win because he is contesting in a political party that is not popular within the region. However, the wide support he is getting across the state shows otherwise.

Nasarawa is also known to be a very politically conscious state and looking at past trends where former Governor Doma was voted out in favour of Almakura in an unpopular party (CPC) despite being an incumbent in the ruling party while the same election returned a dominantly PDP House of Assembly shows that the vote was per candidate not party.

Random polls both online and offline shows Maku leading and closely followed by A.A. Sule. The PDP candidate is last of the three usually with about 20-25% of the votes. For Maku to win with a good margin, he will need to go into a coalition with the PDP to avoid the Osun kind of scenario.

Maku have a better chance because the APC candidate A.A. Sule is not widely accepted because he was imposed by the Governor. What might help him will be the ethnic and religion politics that has engulf Nigeria and the Northern states. His rejection is connected to the fact that he is originally from Bauchi state and not Nasarawa state. So far his marketers are trying so hard to convince the Mada people that he is their brother lol.

See pictures of his supporters in the rally as shared on his Twitter account >>> https://twitter.com/RealLabaranMaku/

One of the biggest mistakes Johnathan made was to listen to the stupid argument that only a Muslim could get victory for pdp in Adamawa n Nasarawa states n consequently denied James Ngilari n Mr labaran maku gubernatorial tickets respectively,the story would certainly have been different today.

So you sabi this one, na im you dey support the lifeless one? May Jah completely cure you of zombiesm!

All we can say is...May the best candidate win.

The people's choice.

drealzum:
This is why Eggons and Christians can never be governors in Nasarawa state despite being the majority.
Eggon people are just like my tribe.... big for nothing...... No political organisation.
The PDP candidate is Eggon,Labaran Maku in APGA is also Eggon.
The APC candidate is a muslim from a minority.
But he will most likely win. Why?
The Eggon always split their votes.... This is not the first time this is happening in Nasarawa.
Go to Adamawa state and see huge Christian population but they have no clout, no organisation.
This is the problem of the middle belters..... My own tribe is not different..... Go to Jos, we are quick to boast we are the second largest tribe on the plateau but how many political positions do ngas people hold?
Big for nothing tribe.

You are right! Same thing in Gombe state. Christians are 55% in Gombe state, yet they cannot rule.

Certainly sir. If you ever had the chance to seat with Labaran Maku one on one, you will know he is a very principled man. The PDP kept begging him to comeback but he declined because they didn't accept his conditions. As we speak. he is the most popular of all. Party wont count just like it didn't in 2011.

gidgiddy:
One thing I like about Labaran Maku is that he has stayed true to the party he belongs to. He went to APGA and has stayed with them through high and lows. Others are on their 4th or 5th political party

I like principled men, not those jumping from one party to the other just to feather their nest

Sir, Maku is contesting in APGA not PDP. Aside that, Maku is not a theif. If Maku was a thief, EFCC would have taken him to custody long ago because he is the only one criticizing the APC government in the state. APC cant wait to get something to hold on him but they can't see any.

allthingsgood:
Maku the thief

What is wrong with pdp Just recycling thieves and expect to win

LWKMD... The PDP didn't lie like APC nou. He was just defending the administration and he did it modestly not like your cousin Lia Mohammed

spirul77:
writing from Keffi, he is a very good candidate, but compare to what APC have on ground here in nasarawa he stands no chance,i repeat he stands no chance.
this guy lie pass Lai Mohammed during his heydays under Jonathan o, I repeat again, he dey lieeee o.

Sir, even APC supporters have issues with A. A. Sule. Maku have a wide acceptance acrosss all the LGAs

alakid:
As a Nasarawa State indegene, I can say that Maku stands no chance.

You are right. From what I am hearing, the eggon people have decided that for their votes to make an impact this time, they will vote APGA enmasse. Labaran Maku stands a very good chance to become the next governor.

Let me reply you with the Atiku question.... If Maku was a thief, why didn't PMB arrest him ? The truth remains that Maku is not a thief or that PMB is not fighting corruption. If APC can find a small dent, they will lock him up

This battle is between APC and PDP, Maku is a local champion. The Eggons have only one LGA out of 13. They are a loud tribe. I was in Lafia this week and saw his campaign trail, made 99.5% of Eggon co-travelers.

Nasarawa State has evolved beyond local and tribal politics. This both Davematics and AA Sule understand.

darfay:



Who do you think would win?

APC 65% chance, PDP 35%.

APC has the spread, and has countered the strength of the PDP by fielding a candidate from the Northern Senatorial Zone. Western Zone is APC, Southern Zone is part PDP part APC

jrusky:
Which Labaran Maku? APGA can t win in any of the Northern state no need to deceive ourselves. In North its either PDP or APC.

pdp can not win any State in north,
dont be deceive.

Umar Akwe steps-down from Governorship race endorse Labaran Maku. Says Maku is someone he respect because of his passion for the developtment of Nasarawa state which every concern indigene of the state could wish to meet for the progress of Nasarawa state.
