2015: Forget Ibb, Power Must Remain In The South —ajasin, Acn Chieftain. by Gbawe: 6:24am On May 20, 2011 |
We hear the ACN is a "regional" Party full of "fascists" yet every time its members talk they seem equitable, visionary , exposed and far more interested in the meritocratic development of Nigeria than others. http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2011/may/20/national-20-05-2011-006.html 2015: Forget IBB, power must remain in the South —Ajasin, ACN chieftain |

This is an honest thought. there is need for healthy competition among federating units |

jimmysho: Indeed . The administrative indolence everywhere , encouraged by a mediocre centre, is unacceptably high in Nigeria. Successive FG's have really done nothing visionary as far as the attempt to provide initiatives and policies that can stimulate healthy regional competition which , in turn, would prompt more States to look at developing their innate gift, to full potentials, rather than persevering with a restrictive "begging bowl" relationship with the FG. |

One emerging trend I'm loving is this new quest for regionalism. I think it is the perfect antidote to the nations indolence. I don't support regionalism based on tribes but based on geography. The arguments we see between Igbos and Yorubas on Nairaland is also a reflection of this move towards regionalism. People would begin to feel the need to develop their regions in order not to be the underdogs. This article is just ripe!! There is so much resource in this country beyond oil and if everyother region can take their eyes off the oil, this country would begin to see development!! I love what he said about Bauchi seeking to attract the oil money by developing tourism infrastructure. Thats exactly what Donald Duke sought to do. My respect for Tinubu and his ACN gang keeps rising. Their plans are razor sharp. But plerase they should leave Edo State out of their equations and Calculation!! |

ACN is my favorite political party. They make the right noises. |

I think the man is stealing my thunder j/k LOL@ "they make the right noises" Anyway, since more politicians are now speaking of restructuring and fiscal federalism e.t.c, can we get them to push for a proposal or bill, commence a massive public campaign on the issue and initiate for some kind of referendum to get this done? The Talking has to end so we can start the Acting Nigeria cannot afford to wait forever. |

Kilode?!: To be honest , I think we have already played our part in the SW . I think all of Nigeria , at least with how some chose to endure with a PDP centre , is not ready to stand on their own in efforts towards self-actualisation defiant of the PDP centre. It is this PDP centre , for 12 years, that drags us all backwards with deliberate misrule of the populace that conversely benefit only the tiny percentage of our "owners" who continue to live in hideously sickening opulence. With so many still preferring to pitch their tent with the PDP , there is little more we can do than what has been done/achieved already. I am optimistic that elections in 2015 , subsequent to the SW making progress under ACN , will make Nigerian States and region even less at the mercy of an indolent, grossly corrupt and regressive centre. If the PDP does not mend its ways and the SW is thriving under the ACN then I think the ruling Party will face obliteration in 2015. |

Making the right noises indeed. That's why they would still remain a regional party. |

J12: Yes o, they are making the right noises indeed. Its left to the "suffering and smilin" populace to listen. However, if they fail to listen and observe what's happening around them then that's their cross to bear. Personally, i don't care if ACN remains a regional party so long as that region records substantial developmental changes in comparison to PDP who has nothing on the ground to show for 12 years of mis/governance. Who cares about the center? What benefits did Objoke's 8 year rule brought to the common man on the streets of yorubaland? Zilch. |

T9ksy:I am not despising the ACN, not at all. All I'm trying to say is that if the ACN wants to compete strongly with PDP at the national level, then I think they have play the sort of politics the PDP plays. The politics of zoning, election rigging, do or die etc. You have to be as demagogic as they are. I think most nigerians are used to this kind of politics, and that's why they are the most successful party ever in out history. |

Misleading title. Power 'must' not remain in the south after Jonathan's tenure, let the best candidate emerge rather. |

J12: You have a point but as political sophistication grows , aided by a global village getting smaller, and as Nigerian institutions grow stronger and more independent of Party/Government control, you will find that the PDP's only saving grace in the future will be adequate performance otherwise the party will suffer the fate it did in the SW all across Nigeria. |
