Gbawe: I can bet u this news is true even when I cant prove it. All I need to do is to put myself in Tinubu's shoes and wear his "sleeping figure 8" cap. Since BAT has given d ACN platform to Ribadu what has he been able to do with it compared to what Buhari has achieved wit his CPC? If I were to choose btw all diz candidates in a Nigeria free of corruption, tribalism and ethnicity I will go for Ribadu again and again but this is the naija we hav. he wil fight to earn my vote cos I aint ready to waste it. As old as Buhari is he has visited almost all the churches in the South canversing for supports. He actually sturned me by visiting the churches 2nd and 3rd times telling them he his not an extremist. With little resources, I have seen Buhari visiting more states outside the North asking for supports than Ribadu making similar efforts. If Ribadu is serious he should identify his weak base (the old guards) and start going after their supports. It is not enough to be gathering dsame lettered folks and youths everytime as if they are d only stake-holders in this game. My advice to Ribadu-make every count (old and young) and go all out. He shuld strive to put his voice and face on d Dailies' frontpages evry-other-day. |

I think Tinubu is smart enough to know that Buhari is simply not electable. Did anyone see his interview with Sahara? the man coughs after every sentence. We are looking for a President not the sickest man in the Country. After failing in 2 elections, he should back one of those who have been loyal to him to run for office that is what Statesmen do. Buhari came into politics for a single reason. "What is in it for Buhari?" |

The day i will believe buhari and tinubu coalition IS THE DAY BUHARI DUMPS CPC AND JOINS ACN- which wont happen. ACN has three states and will not merge its slf under CPC which was created less than 6 months ago. Tinubu is smarter than that esp with him and akande along with lai stressing the need of a youthful president. i think jonathan is going to beat ribadu no doubt but in that process PDP will lose alot of states in the north and south |
Re: Tinubu Dumps Ribadu, Opts For Buhari. . . Eyes Vp Slot by Beaf: 7:47pm On Nov 08, 2010 |
sbeezy8: The attractive thing to Tinubu will be the fact that Buhari has a political party that can win Northern sits. Ribadu has none. Anyway, it is too late late for parties to merge (except the new legislation to potpone the elections allows it), so the article might not be 100%. |
Re: Tinubu Dumps Ribadu, Opts For Buhari. . . Eyes Vp Slot by oyewolejos(m): 7:51pm On Nov 08, 2010 |
I think Ribadu should contest for Adamawa Guber post. ACN winning the Presidential Poll with Ribadu as the candidate is a mirage. I know for sure in a free poll he will win in Adamawa. Buhari/Tinubu ticket won't stand cos of religion. Christians will prefer to vote for GEJ instead of allowing Muslims-Muslim ticket. Nigerians are sensitive towards religion so i believe Tinubu wont make that mistake. |
Re: Tinubu Dumps Ribadu, Opts For Buhari. . . Eyes Vp Slot by Gbawe: 8:05pm On Nov 08, 2010 |
sbeezy8: I agree with what you say bar the last line. The ACN Party is very strong at the moment and stands the chance of ridding the Yoruba region of the PDP . If the SW region then gain more Fashola and oshiomhole type Governors , the PDP will be finished . With that in mind it is better for it to be a young progressive leading the way in progressive times when Nigerians want progressive change and a paradigm shift in political players and ideology. Folks should understand this is partly what is responsible for Jonathan's popularity i.e incompetent or not he is deemed as a change from Politicians of the past. It may be political effective to then combat him with like for like i.e another young Politicians who is also a break from the past. IBB is faltering because he is the past Nigerians would rather forget. The ACN party listed youth as a required quality , in the first place, because everyone can see the trend locally and internationally. I like Buhari but I think in the end the ACN will see that Ribadu may be an easier sell. If Jonathan then wins the PDP ticket a Ribadu Presidency is a done deal , IMO, as he will likely take the North by default (if Buhari can be convinced to work with him) and the SW region because of the growing strenght of the ACN Party and the determination of the Yoruba folks to purge their region of the PDP. Buhari may work with Ribadu if he sees that he cannot win in the SW region. No one will become President with the votes from their region alone and this is where popularity accross Nigeria will matter. Tinubu and co will realise this. Even the Nairaland polls back my thinking because Ribadu , and not Buhari or anyone else, is always a respectable second to Jonathan in our polls despite his so called "inexperience". This indicates Ribadu's strong popularity in the south as it is likely Nairaland is used mainly by Southerners. Jonathan , on the other hand, can never have such electoral popularity in the North- the most clannish region in Nigeria. |

Any Northern leader who wants to think about the presidency will need an Igbo VP. It is as simple as that. |

EzeUche0: In your dreams Or maybe in PDP, ACN is not even thinking in that direction right now.The closest they have is Donald Duke bringing his LP to join ACN for the presidency Polls. Tinubu has all the aces now to work with the best opposition candidate.Either Buhari or Ribadu with a southern Progressive will suffice. |

olafolarin: I think you're overestimating the influence of Tinubu. As much I detest these ethnic categorizations, I have to agree with Ezeuche on this one. If ACN wants to show itself as a truly national party and not the play thing of Tinubu, the 'southern progressive' you described above [i]should [/i]be of Igbo extraction, for only then will it be able to present a formidable challenge against the PDP. |
Re: Tinubu Dumps Ribadu, Opts For Buhari. . . Eyes Vp Slot by vigasimple(m): 12:18am On Nov 09, 2010 |
All of the above are political permutation by our armchair pundits. GEJ has all the aces, even Rtd general Independence BomB Blast IBB ( or did I hear some one say BADLUCK) knows it. All of those candidates, Bhuari, Tinubu are all spent force. Power has changed hand. |
Re: Tinubu Dumps Ribadu, Opts For Buhari. . . Eyes Vp Slot by Gbawe: 1:13am On Nov 09, 2010 |
sd-6: That is fine. I also think Buhari has the makings of a good leader. We must however ask ourselves why it is Ribadu , the "inexperienced newcomer" who is giving GEJ , an incumbent President , the greatest challenge according to every poll Nigerians have participated in to date ? I think Nigerians are ready for a change . They wan't a bright future . They wan't modern and internationally acceptable leaders the entire world will respect. If we inspect the relevant parameters we will see that Ribadu is the leader who can , locally and internationally, gain the support required to defeat the PDP Vampires to set Nigeria on the path of progress . Buhari , on Nairaland or elsewhere has not won a single popularity poll. Buhari may be popular in the North but the effort to defeat the PDP will require a candidate who , with the right support, can become all things to all to Nigerians . Ribadu is the man. I respect Buhari but I feel he will fall short if we pay attention to how Nigerians are thinking currently. |
Re: Tinubu Dumps Ribadu, Opts For Buhari. . . Eyes Vp Slot by sbeezy8: 1:21am On Nov 09, 2010 |
Mai Suya: Wrong in 2007 atiku ran alongside ben obi from anambra on AC platform -WHICH SAYS ACN IS A NATIONAL PARTY. and it didnt WORK. Atiku even came in third, they played that "igbo card" and it failed, tho there was rigging, AC lost mainly because PDP,APGA,PPA are more dominant in SE. best option tinubu has it to pick a vp from edo or sw WHERE HIS PARTY ALREADY EXISTS AND CAN WIN VOTES. ACN has no footing in the SE, its growing in the SW and edo. It would be dumb for ACN to pick a vp from a region where they are not relevant and expect people to vote them just because its n igbo man on the ticket. jonathan/pdp is winning all SE votes against any notherner point blank, but in the SW he cannot win more than half if anything against ACN. Gbawe: only way nuhu can beat GEJ is if buhari steps down and supports him |
Re: Tinubu Dumps Ribadu, Opts For Buhari. . . Eyes Vp Slot by naso2(m): 11:47am On Nov 09, 2010 |
sbeezy8: Even if a SW vp is picked, you can be sure that GEJ would still wrestle at least 50% of the votes from SW. Then GEJ gets almost wholesale, the votes of SS and SE. NC and NE will be split between GEJ and the northern contender. The only zone he will let go will be NW . For the presidential election , people will vote based on their perception of the candidate. For governorship it sure will be along party lines, this means that PDP might lose some SW states but GEJ would still get the votes in such states. Never underestimate the massive christian populace that will vote GEJ in lagos even when we know that AC almost has the governorship in the bag. |
Re: Tinubu Dumps Ribadu, Opts For Buhari. . . Eyes Vp Slot by xoxogg(f): 1:39pm On Nov 09, 2010 |
sbeezy8:Correct. GEJ already has a lot of sympathy votes due to him being a SS man. As Nigerians it is undeniable that some injustice has been done to them as to the development of their communities. Many Nigerians (SE,SW,SS n some parts of the North) will vote simply for this reason; the believe that SS finally deserves a chance to rule. This already gives jonathan an edge over NR and Buhari. But I dont buy that. If the north which has ruled more than any zone in this country produces a good candidate then vote I shall and vice versa, if SS produces a less than competent candidate, then i wont vote him and vice versa. Simply put, all powers that be need to unite so the PDP monster can be eradicated from our Beloved Country. Though even if they unite its still not going to be an easy battle but it would definitely loose PDP some seats in the House and some States. And That I believe would be a giant leap in the cleansing of this country. |

oyewolejos: na_so: ^^^ its now religious votes abi. xtian for xtians and muslim for muslims.why all this mumu muslims dey allow themselves campaign or support GEJ. nasty as it sounds,you sound just like that.forget this thing people do.tribalism and religious politics.thsi is exactly what is making some people reject the likes of GEj and Buhari.Above all you should know after the elections,who ever wins will be responsible for all.So if people still feel bitter after elections we then get a government that is not progressive because of internal difference.typical case of Abuja bomb blast.North largely feel its MEND/GEJ aid.south thinks its IBB /Northern cabal. we could not wait for a common investigation. people using the nairaland polls and other polls should brace up.i mean it is more than polls in Nigeria.it could be okay in USA,west and others not Naija. |

Re: Tinubu Dumps Ribadu, Opts For Buhari. . . Eyes Vp Slot by sbeezy8: 3:24pm On Nov 09, 2010 |
na_so: religion in lagos between either party doesnt matter because pdp members/supporters/govenor aspirants in lagos are muslims. example of lagos pdp top shotz- Aganga-williams muslim, Demola seriki muslim, Babatunde Gbadamosi (Badamosi) muslim, Owolabi Salis muslim so religion playing a part in GEJ winning votes in the SW or Lagos wont matter because those who are pdp lagos are muslim just like acn -they are even from the same hometowns. those who will vot for GEJ will be both christian and muslim. Those who will vote for ACN will be both chrsistian and muslim. It will come down to the party not religion or region or ethinicity in this case. because neither president is yoruba. even if tinubu picks a vp from ss or se the sw will still be split over GJ. because HALF alittle more(60%) want pdp out of government. GEJ will mostlikely win 2011 but hes going to lose states the same time like i dont see pdp in existance after GEJ wins. massive decamps everywhere ND,SE.NS.NW,SWNE. and not because of GEJ but because PDP was built lies can you imagine all the igbos and northerners who will want GEJ to step down in 2015 for either of them? LOL its going to be FUNNY. northerner are expecting to have a president after GEJ and igbos also lol THERE ARE MANY NORTHERNERS AND IGBOS EXPECTING THE PRESIDENCY in 2015 -thats why many are voting for him in 2011 i think its funny xoxo, : see the only problem is i havent seen any nothern guys who can go against jonathan like really even ribadu is sooooo random. i see jonathan winning 2011 but there def be nore pdp after GEJ |

Most of the opinions here are quite enlightened. . . .but laughable nonetheless. How come you're all making permutations on the basis that VOTES would actually COUNT? Have you guys forgotton that clumsy little word called rigging? If Jonathan gets the PDP ticket like we're sure he will, is is possible for any other party's candidate to out-rig him at the polls? Lets get real please. |
