As someone has said earlier the masses are the biggest loser. No good infrastructure in place, nothing to show that we are enjoying democracy. Common electricity we still can boast of 6hrs per day power supply all over the country. No good hospitals, anything BAD we have them abundantly except WAR.

I like d speech of d new Ohaneze Ndigbo President. Pls read objectively.

In my own opinion, d enemy of Ndigbo is Ndigbo itself. I remember a time in this country when all d 6 ministers in Jonathan's kitchen cabinet were all Igbo's. Ayim Pius Ayim was SGF, Ngozi Okonjo Iwealla was in charge finance, Emeka Wogu was in Labour and productivity, Berth Nnaji was in Power and Energy, Dieziani Madueke was d powerful minister for oil. The 6 of them outside d Federal Executive Council would meet and decide what and what not to be discussed at d larger FEC. Whatever they decided would eventually be d position of government. In 6 years, this was d situation. Okiro and Onovo had d police under their control. Ihejerika and later Minimah controlled d Army. These powerful Igbo's could do and undo. Nigeria was in their pockets.
Rather than care about d poor Igbo chaps scattered all over d country, they were busy diverting billions of naira into their accounts at home and abroad. D 2nd Niger Bridge, they didn't do. They shared d money. The Lagos/Calabar rail lines passing through 9 States, 3 of them in d SE, they were not bothered. They refused to pay d Chinese d Counter part fund. They shared d money. Enugu/Onitsha, Aba/PH and other roads of economic importance to their fellow Igbo's, they abandoned.
Who is to blame? Who is marginalising d Igbo's?

You had your chance, you bungled it. There was only 1 Yoruba minister worth mentioning at d time, Akinwunmi Adesina. He was in Agric. His budget was less than 1% while Emeka Wogu in Labor had over 10% for his ministry, Ayim had unlimited access to d treasury for d benefit of himself and family members. The poor Igbo guys meant nothing to him. If an Igbo becomes President tomorrow after Jonathan, will there be any difference? The Igbo man will marginalise his fellow Igbo people.
Vote APC/ PMB

Great Ogboru

His name is memorable as one of the masterminds of the Gideon Orkar coup against the IBB regime that failed. After years of hiding in exile, he came back to Delta in 2000 to become a political heavy weight. He has contested in the governorship elections in Delta State in 2003, 2007, 2011 and 2015. But all the time, he has been a runner-up. This 2019, he will be contesting under APC for the Delta Governorship elections. From the way it is, there is a high probability he may clinch the runners up position again based on his party’s strength in the South South.

Atiku Abubakar
Atiku was an ex-customs officer, who ventured into business and has always been attracted to politics. His first political ambition was for the governor of Gongola state which its election was voided then. He also contested for presidential position against MKO in the defunct SDP, which he lost at the primaries.
So far, he has only won the Adamawa state elections. But was chosen to be Obasanjo’s Vice President, which he enjoyed for 7 good years until his boss declared his seat vacant. Atiku has unsuccessfully ran for presidency in 2007 (AC), 2011 (PDP primaries), 2015 (APC primaries). He will be going again for the post and is massively supported by the South East and South South of Nigeria who are not in good terms with the present president Muhamadu Buhari. If he loses this time, we cannot be sure it would be his last.

Jimi Agbaje
Jimi has been a regular face of the Lagos state elections. He was first in Bola Tinubu’s Action Congress in 2007. However, he left to DPA that same year to fulfill his governorship ambitions. After that, in 2015 he contested for the same role under the main opposition party in Lagos state, PDP against Ambode but lost. Jimi has been good and eloquent in political debates but the Lagos political structure has hindered him from achieving his ambitions. He will be running again in 2019 under PDP. With the strength of APC in Lagos, winning will be a miracle

Nuhu Ribadu
Ribadu rose to fame when Obasanjo appointed him as head of the newly formed EFCC in 2003. His effectiveness in that role gave him popularity that inspired his political career. He was later promoted to Assistant Inspector General of Police in 2007 by Obasanjo. His political career begun as he got the presidential ticket in 2011 under Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN). After the unfateful venture, he joined the ruling PDP in 2015 to contest for the Governorship position in Adamawa state, which he lost in the APC tsunami. He joined the APC in 2018 to contest governorship again but lost at the primaries. He is an effective man. We hope he wins a position someday as his tenure in the EFCC has been the most remarkable so far.

Buba Marwa
Marwa came into the spotlight as the last military governor of Lagos state. On the onset of democracy, he has been active to get a piece of cake but unfortunately had none. In December 2006, Marwa had announced he would be running in the People's Democratic Party (PDP) primaries to become the party's candidate for President of Nigeria. His bid was unsuccessful. Marwa later in 2011 was the gubernatorial candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change, but lost to the then incumbent governor Murtala Nyakot. Marwa is now an APC member and is in support of the present president.

Andy Uba
Andy Uba was a well-known Obasanjo’s boy in the East during his tenure. He decicded to go into politics by winning the 2007 Anambra state election under PDP. However, he didn’t spend up to a month in office as the court favoured former governor Peter Obi to continue his governorship tenure. In 2009, Andy contested for governor of Anambra state under the Labour party which he lost. However, he was able to win the 2011 senatorial elections under PDP in 2011. He’s contesting for the same senatorial position under APC in 2019

BuhariAdvocate:
Atiku this would be the last time you will intervein in Nigeria politics, when you suffer another setback on Saturday.



This is a lie,rather it would be difficult for the so called south west 2023 to defeat him. As it stands if he does not will buhari now by 2023 when power is suppose to go southward ,if atiku is still alive he will contest and northern win President Buhari now, the north will not abandoned him for a South west APC tickets in 2023.


To me I don't see a southern attaining that position while atiku is still the best presidential candidates.


He will likely contest and everything will favour him
