According to a highly placed source, former Vice President, Alex Ekwueme will head the committee that would screen those shortlisted and come up with what the source called “ a level headed, focused, acceptable candidate who also has the capacity to step into Atiku’s shoes come 2015” Top on the list is [b]madam Ngozi okonjo Iweala [/b]others who may will likely make the list are Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, former Information minister, Emeka Chikelu, Ken Nnnamani, and Charles Soludo

I would support that. We need an Iron Lady in charge. That would be a progressive move.

Seems like some people are smoking cheap ish here. Madam values her integrity far too much to be on a ticket with Atiku

If Atiku can pull this off it will be a masterstroke because this woman has gravitas and the respect of the whole country.

@Poster. First, i dont know where you got your fake news.

But if you cooked this out of your imagination, you must be smoking a heavy heap of grass.

Is Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala a member of the PDP? Or even a politician.

Dude, go take a shower.
Re: Atiku May Pick Okonjo Iweala As Running Mate by Nobody: 11:02pm On Nov 29, 2010
Be that as it may, British SFO will move to investigate her by tommorow. This Atiku team dey smart n keeps complicating the arithemetics for the Gej team. Assuming formlessness here n there. Tommorow they might come up with the hint that Atiku may run with Chinua Achebe!

Gej's team lacks the political sagacity to solve Atiku's political arithmetics/equation - The Great Okadigbo(may his soul RIP) wld hv said so.

For me, I dey laugh

Emeka Chikelu and Ike Ekweremadu are listed to add to the number sheh?

I thought one would first clinch the ticket of their party before "announcing" their Vice.

From what I read, Atiku suggested her to Obasanjo in 2003 undecided , maybe she is considered but again lets wait and see
Re: Atiku May Pick Okonjo Iweala As Running Mate by jumobi1(m): 11:23pm On Nov 29, 2010
Atiku must be cool with that woman because they both live/lived in Potomac. I know Atiku sold his house.
If Iweala is his VP, I would sadly vote for the man. She is so qualified and by the end of his tenure, she would have enough political experience for Nigeria. He can steal women and SE votes with this move. If they do a good job and she runs in 2015, i think this would be excellent for Nigeria.

It would be a political disaster. I know Atiku is more smarter than that.

Atiku is definitely going to choose a credible person as his running mate. . .looks like Jonathan's chances of getting the ticket talkless of winning the election is slim. . .he can keep dashing out $50,000 it wont take him any where. . .RUBBISH!

Even if he emptied the Nations reserve, it will still not save him. One thing is that if Baba know things can't redeemed, he knows when to recalculate. grin grin grin

Atiku/Iweala

funniest combination of all times. Not like it matters tho' even if he picks Condoleeza Rice as running mate the man still wont win undecided
Re: Atiku May Pick Okonjo Iweala As Running Mate by Nobody: 7:36am On Nov 30, 2010
Sorry Atiku lacks the credibility to rule this country no matter who he would pick as vice. To save ourselves,Nigerians should look towards Muhammadu Buhari

He has the discipline and courage to straighten up our dear Nation.
Re: Atiku May Pick Okonjo Iweala As Running Mate by dustydee: 11:13am On Nov 30, 2010
^^^Buhari is the best of the lot so far but again politics in Nigeria is not about the best.
Re: Atiku May Pick Okonjo Iweala As Running Mate by Mesef1: 12:24pm On Nov 30, 2010
If what I know about this woman is correct, she will not fall for this!

I'm sure she wouldn't fancy such position not even with somebody like Atiku who is wanted for money laundering and bribery scandal in the US where she is so esteemed as the VP of the World Bank.
Re: Atiku May Pick Okonjo Iweala As Running Mate by confetti(f): 12:37pm On Nov 30, 2010
I really don't understand the reasoning of some posters. Madam Iweala resigned from Obj's cabinet in order not to soil her name and you guys think she will ever leave her MD work @ world Bank to be Atiku's running mate? Madam knows exactly what transpired in that regime especially as she was Finance Minister. She will never stoop so low. Not for Atiku whom the whole world knows he has issues to clear with the United States Government. Its only opportunists that will ever associate with him. Madam Iweala will never try it no matter how juicy the office made be.

Re: Atiku May Pick Okonjo Iweala As Running Mate by Beaf: 1:47pm On Nov 30, 2010
Who even dreamt up this rubbish. How can someone of Iweala's stance in the World serve under a thief who is wanted in the US?
Who is dreaming up this nonsense? Someone needs to catch that person so that we can pour petrol and find the right size of tyre. . .
