He actually wanted to be president. VP is just a stepping stone.

seunmsg:


1999 was the first time, 2003 was the second. The point is, PDP zoned it ticket to the south and every interested candidates from the south contested.

Yorubas made Jonathan so we were not interested in contesting against him in 2015.

In 2023, APC will zone its presidential ticket to the south and Yoruba candidates will contest because its the right thing to do.

Yoruba's made Jonathan ...so u guys killed zoning n not Igbo's again ?

mrvitalis:

IF OBJ in 1999 can be president
Jonathan can be president
Yaradua can be president

Why can't this men ...in fact buhari is the first popular person in Nigeria to win presidential elections

Now what else is your point

Even you know that they can not be considered for Presidency.

Look for someone else from the east.

You can't compare Obasanjo who had already been military head of state, Jonathan, a vice President and Buhari, also another former military head of state with these ones.

ednut1:
true. but why would north wan Osinbajo to be president self

I just said if the powers that be are behind anyone, that person will emerge president. Democracy in Nigeria is an illusion because the people are morons, uneducated, unenlightened, driven by tribe and religion and are therefore easily manipulated. At the end of the day they choose the people we will vote for.

whether Osinbajo is acceptable to them is another matter.

lexyclasy:
Be Sincere do you think your APC Flag bearer 2019 won the Election, and what make you think the APC as a party after failing Nigerians in all ramification will win in 2023, dont act like a Titanic producer. to my submission, Igbo deserve presidential ticket 100%, it is the only major tribe that has not occupy that position since the beginning of the 4th republic, did they kill people that you think they don't deserve APC ticket, is there any state of the East that you will not see die-hard APC Supporters , the Easterners that lost their lives for the sake of APC what will you regard that, Nigeria will get better when we change our ideology and bigotry towards one another.

But igbos are routing for a northern in pdp again, who has contributed more to pdp than igbos.

Why can't igbos demand presidency from pdp after the sharing formula since 1999.

Apc producing an Igbo man is political sucide (not supposed to make you feel happy for happy sake) because even ojukwu the greatest Igbo man was rejected by igbos to support same pdp

The Governor El-Rufai has the right to say his mind. If we look at it critically, the northerners have the post enough, it is high time to give the mantle to the Southerner. The argument on who run should not be an issue now, when time comes, anybody that is interested will make his intention known.

ursullalinda:
He should be warming up.....we are also warming up too.....VP ko VP ni.

Like Buhari abi?

We know

mrvitalis:

South east has APC candidate in elective position ....and u dare say south east have never supported APC

Maybe u need English lesson

You can shout and scream from the rooftop all you want, Southeast has never supported APC.

At least at the Presidential level which is the level we are talking about here.

lexyclasy:
Igbos dont hate APC rather the marginalization approach of PMB, APGA and ANPP who form part of the APC majorly from the Igbo's area

Forget igbo presidency. its never going to happen!! igbos would be better served agitating for restructuring because the rest of Nigeria is not voting for an Igbo presidency anytime soon. You have done a lot of damage to your cause post 2015.

FrLukas:

Why are you just making fallacious statements
APC has elected officials from south east voted by people from south east yet you say south east can't support APC ...are you OK ?

Donaldoni:


Be sincere, do you believe Igbos deserve to have the APC presidential ticket? Why are you not gunning for the PDP ticket?

Fool are there no Igbo in the APC?

Donaldoni:


All the above you mentioned are hated in Igbo land for associating with APC. So why should the APC hand them the ticket? The mainstream party in Igbo land is PDP...

South West deserves the APC ticket because we created APC. If APC didn't exist, there will be no talk of taking out votes or leaving them behind...

You just dey wound that mumu wey dey quote you. Nah slamming you dey give am

Bros there are former governors from east in APC ...former senate presidents ,many more

Equity demands its south east and they have people in APC case closed

Ojiofor:


Is Osinbajo the only Christian from South?

You are free to nominate your own candidate brother, but as for me,when we look at someone who is capable, experienced, Loyal, passionate, humble, and God fearing, brother, Osinbajo is the man.

optimus106:
Stop voting these northerners for president. How can illiterates lead a country like our current state. Poverty has driven the electorates to trade their votes,they will still be the first to say This government no goooood.

Make una get sense before 2023.

Are you more educated than El-rufai?

From the Islamic Party?

mrvitalis:

Oga it was buharis idea as of 2011 tinubu rejected the idea ...

APC has 3 senators in south east over 10 house of reps member ...over 35 state of of assembly members ...na Yoruba's vote them ?

3 senators out of 15 ,
10 out of 60
35 out probably out of over 150

You re a big joke

SonofDevil:
3 senators out of 15 ,

You re a big joke

APC won presidential elections even if u minus southern votes ...equity is equity

If Obasanjo can win 1999 without Yoruba's APC can win without Igbo's

What's Islamic party ?

Deputy1111:

LOL. Osinbajo is man fearing not God fearing if not he will be speaking against all the atrocious crimes committed against ctitzens of this nation.
However I just reminded you not to be too fast to conclude that Osinbajo is the one because he is a Christian, he is one in a million Christians who can be president.

mrvitalis:

What's Islamic party ?

APC is no longer an Islamic Party?

Creators and sponsors of Boko Haram and Fulani Herdsmen, whose purpose is to Islamize Nigeria?

Wonderful.

fergie001:
And if El-Rufai wants to be VP or even President... what is wrong with that?

Anyone who feels he has the qualification(s) and meets the required benchmark can contest.

Except by diplomacy, anybody in any part of the country can contest. If I have the kind of money they have, I will also contest.

Kaduna banditry, kidnapping and destruction of Christian properties answered the bolded..

ednut1:
osibanjo has no political weight ogbeni

...and who has it??

Wow

mrvitalis:

There has never been anything like north zone and south zone ...we have had power rotations in the 6 Geo political zone .....one from south then one from north ...

South west n south south have tested now its south east turn ...if south west contest then what's the point of the zoning

Can you work in Zeni bank and expect to collect salary from GTB?
SE cast their lots with PDP let them gun for it's ticket. Or is APC no longer an Islamic party again?

Your entitlement mentality is really disgusting and appalling. Each party should zone the ticket to the South, the parties conduct their primaries and pick their flag bearers

Ekwueme contested PDP ticket in 99, so stop lying that it was zoned to SW, it was a very competitive battle.

Tell your people to start demanding compensatory ticket from PDP that they served so faithfully all through the years

Nobody owe you anything Inugwo?

Personally I am ok with Osinbajo/El-rufai, Amaechi/Elrufai or Elrufai/Amaechi. I dont want Tinubu.

mrvitalis:

APC won presidential elections even if u minus southern votes ...equity is equity

If Obasanjo can win 1999 without Yoruba's APC can win without Igbo's

did anybody stop igbos from contesting in Apc primary?

mrvitalis:

Bros there are former governors from east in APC ...former senate presidents ,many more

Equity demands its south east and they have people in APC case closed

Your response didn't tally with my post. I said look for someone else and not those you are mentioning.

I personally believe the best should be allowed to rule irrespective of tribal or religious affiliations.

But, what do I know...?

mrvitalis:

Why are you just making fallacious statements
APC has elected officials from south east voted by people from south east yet you say south east can't support APC ...are you OK ?

Maybe if you drink cold water and calm down and re-read my post you won't pop an artery.
