Goddex:

Even the PDP chairman Nwodo, said the same thing.
What contradiction are you talking about?

Nwodo told the party faithful at Wadata Plaza, venue of the NEC meeting in Abuja that the PDP had not jettisoned the zoning arrangement for party and elective offices. Daily Sun also learnt that the PDP governors had also at their meeting on Wednesday night as well as at the expanded caucus meeting later at the Presidential Villa, canvassed the retention of zoning, while also allowing any willing aspirant to seek party’s presidential ticket.
The NEC ended at about 6.pm yesterday without a communiqué from the party’s National Working Committee (NWC).

Understanding Elected Offices
By Ann DeLaney
Elected officials come in three levels: federal, state, and local. You have a role in determining who gets elected to all three. You can think of these officials as three tiers of a wedding cake: As you move down, each layer gets larger and larger, with more and more politicians. (See Figure 1.) The president and the vice president go on top of the cake of politicians

The decision was taken at the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting yesterday at the party’s national headquarters, Abuja.

Although the party declared that the controversial zoning formula would remain “from the federal to state levels”, it said Jonathan “because of special circumstances”, would use the Yar’Adua/Jonathan ticket, which brought the party to power after the exit of former President Olusegun Obasanjo on May 29, 2007, for the 2011 elections.

  Ribadu for President of Nigeria.

  Ribadu begin calling PDP bluff without personal insults. Include fashola, enugu state governor, wole soyinka, me, and this abubaka guy in your team. 
You (ribadu) are a better candidae and more intelligent than the guy in power now. Take advantage of PDP's fumbles and their unnecessary constitution.  Lead your campaign and force goodluck to a debate then request that the election be pushed back by a year. Campaign in universities.


  Go ribadu. show your independence from pdp, from goodluck, from foreigners who are not nigerians, and from your fears. 
You (ribadu) can break this gridlock and show a way forward. Don't worry about pdp they will bring themselves down in this order goodluck --- babaginda -----obasanjo----anyone in between and guilty.  We can move forward.  Yes we should!

@Kayno-jah.
You've said it all. GEJ may not be the best but he is better than all other aspirants going by what we have seen so far. Secondly, the position he is today offers him a better chance than other better candidates like Buhari. We already know IBB and Atiku and what they can do, if you don't, dig into the archive of their stewardship in the past. What we want is good governance, this can only come when you have the right man in the helm of affairs. North, South, East or West should not be issue if we are true democrat and love Nigeria. Nigeria being a blessed country and rich country is no news to anybody but how much of these riches is spent to better the lives of poor Nigerians? Guys, there is money in this country! We ought to have gone far from where we are today. Fellow Nigerians, let us reason well, decide well and pray for this country.
