I thought Gov Wiked was among the southern Governors that said the president must come from south in 2023. So he did not believe in the statement he signed, but just playing to the gallery.
Wike wants to be Vice President to Fulani Tambuwal. Fulani that’s destroying Nigeria.
Traitor.

Chukazu:


Tell me one credible candidate that APC has?

Oga, both parties have very corrupt people so let us look beyond them. Left to me, the military should take over this country and put an end to the nonsense these politicians are doing

idanone:
tell us apart from pdp and who else?

There are other parties biko . In fact , we need people who have never been in PDP or APC to take over this country. But left to me , I would prefer the military to take over and end the nonsense politicians are doing

Xscape1993:
The evil party and their evil agenda will be kicked out of Nigeria very soon no matter what. APC is not a political party. APC is full of lies, blames, confusion, corruption, terrorist sympathizers and terrorist sponsors.

So what is Papa Deceiving Pikin? A political party? Never again to a party that's known to be a Tax Collector.

It's convenient for Wike to say he doesn't believe in zoning now just bcoz he wants to vice Tambuwal. Who told him Tambuwal will pick him as running mate?
Why would Wike accept defeat and concur that Tambuwal is better than him?
Inferiority complex? Or fear of Fulanis? The permutations will fall.
Tambuwal hasn't done 30% of what Wike did in Rivers.

We're following.

•Why is PDP not supporting a candidate from South East to fly the party Presidential ticket?

•Is it that Peter Obi does not have the qualities or capacity to be the President of Nigeria?

•Why are they insisting that APC should be the one to give South East Presidential ticket? A party they call evil or devilish party. A party that less than 10% of them supports. You can't reap from where you did not sow.

•If Peter Obi is not capable, don't you have other South East candidate(s) that is/are capable? In South West here we have more than enough; Osinbajo, Fashola, Fayemi, Akeredolu, Gbajabiamila, to mention a few. I intentionally did not include Tinubu in the list, but I can assure you, he is more than capable. I agree, age is not on his side, but will he deliver? A resounding YES!

•South should fight hard for the post if they are really serious of rulling this country. Power is taken, Power is not given.

•You guyz are shouting you want to do a payback of what South West did to Goodluck Jonathan in 2015; is Jonathan a South East candidate, abi why are you guyz using Panadol on some other people headache?

•Orji Uzor Kalu was a state Governor from 1999 to 2007, same time and period Bola Ahmed Tinubu was a Governor. OUK even contested for President in 2007 when he came 4th in the contest, what stops him from trying further?

•Rochas Okorocha was once or twice Presidential aspirant, what stops him from trying further?

•Why is it that Tinubu and South West is you guyz headache?

•Please you guyz should go and vent your anger on PDP and not APC or South West.

they have the mental prowess to pilot the affairs of this country but what about the grass root followers who are larger numbers of the voters ... remember this chunks votes for popular candidate regardless of what he has to offer.. if pdp must wrestle power from apc, then an Igbo man can not be it flagbearer

Once you talk of looking beyond APC and PDP then I know it's a joke.

rickyrex:
one thing about Nigeria politics is that it is not as always as you think. Come 2023 Apc might loss some of their candidate to pdp and same will also happen to pdp. Most people chanting tinubu might on the day of voting have a change of mind and vice versa. Those Igbo men you mentioned can not pull weight in Nigeria politics. In some cases you don't need a well know individual to win election, neither do you need one you have been wining and dining in politics. Look at soludo and Andy uba. You will realised that Andy uba has been around politics for a long time yet he could not win, even PDP candidate whose campaign started very late owing to court issues still pulled weight than Andy uba. Jonathan became the president of this country even when his name was never mentioned in the history of Nigeria politics. This gives you the permutations that come 2023 if a lot of factors is not well considered power will go back to North. Moreso a new party might come to set aside apc and pdp

If that is the case, they should hold their peace and support the popular candidate the South West would present and make it a win win for the South in general. Why are they so bittered against the South West?

The south easterners you just mentioned are not very sellable and do not have the the requisite clout/means to win. Plus the south easterners are playing politics not to win, but playing not to loose.

"Sellable" You mean how you guys repackaged Buhari, in 2015 .

It can never work this time, try and see, as it stands now Atiku is still the best and sure bet to Aso-Rock, with Over 12 million vote in 2019 in a contest with a fellow Northerner , just imagine him having half of the North with him + South East and South South votes...... He is unbeatable if PDP fields him as their presidential candidate.

the ideology in politics been played in the south is different from the north. Northners play a single interest politics why south play a divisional politics. How do I mean? Northners speaks one language irrespective of different party they concluded on one table but south speak different languages and politucal party is divided across the south. 8 pdp governors and 8 Apc and 1 anambra apga. Of which apga is indirectly pdp. You can't expect all pdp candidate to leave their presidential candidate and vote for Apc cause his from the south. This system would have played better if it were those days pdp control large amount of the states but it can't be like that now cause both parties has places they are controlling now. South will be a hard factors for someone like buhari cause there's no form of unity

the truth is anyone pdp present will win apc the hardship and party of death.just like apc snatch it from pdp because of corruption of sharing money.apc will be voted out due to insecurity,poverty corruption and nepotism.all this noise online is nothing to compare with what people are passing on the street.people are tired of apc

So you really believe that Nigeria is like the US and other advanced countries where people vote based on concrete socioeconomic issues and antecedents? If so, why did Nigerian vote against a clean and accomplished public servant in 1999 in preference for Obasanjo who had a huge historical moral baggage for being part and parcel of the militaristic establishment which had caused suffering in the land for 33 years and the same Obasanjo even mocked mockery of the struggle to end military rule?
Also, why did they vote for Obasanjo again in 2003 with his first term performance record of genocides in Odi and Zakibiam amidst escalating commodity prices coupled with general hardship and incessant increase in petroleum products pump prices?
You seem to overrate the Nigerian electorate. E go shock you.

So you want another round of 33 year derailment from this democratic path? You think when military takes over now, they will just one day return power to civilians on their own?

Oga, democracy is not meant for the black man because he doesn't have a sense of fairness ,justice and honor . The politicans we have now have killed more people than any military regime out there. As it stands now , our nation is suffering greatly from insecurity, poverty, tribalism, marginalization and extreme corruption . These problems were not so much during the military era because there was just only one constituted authority: the dictator . But now, we have the whole nation being run by psychopaths who would do anything to remain in power . And you want us to continue along that line ...? Mthcwww

And you comfortably forgot that this present democracy, which in your opinion has failed and killed many people, has been largely run by the same military. What we had in 1999 was simply an extension of military rule with the actors changing attire from kakhi to either agbada or suits. Pray tell me where Obasanjo and Atiku the pioneers of this democracy came from if not the military establishment. The Yaradua who succeeded Obasanjo was from what kind of family? Obasanjo favoured him because he was a younger brother to his colleagues in the army. What about David Mark who led the most important institution of democracy for eight years? You think he had been a pure civilian all before then? What of the presently incumbent Buhari? Jonathan's clinching of power was accidental so I left him off mention. The period about which majority of Nigerians unanimously agree that we had a genuine semblance of good governance was from 1960 to 1966 which was when we were governed by pure civilians and politicians 100%.

Just wait a minute here : the people you mentioned are soldiers , no doubt about that . But as it stands now , democracy is not working for Nigeria .

As we speak, our politicans are well aware that the democratic system permits all the necessary parties involved to come to an agreement , and this can easily be manipulated within the context of law by employing lawyers and the media who will rant and paint an ugly story to the public that " democracy and fundamental human rights are being trampled on ".

In fact, it is a loophole in democracy, and it is the reason why banditry, herdsmen attack and corruption are still thriving. For example, the insecurity situation in Borno has been on for more than a decade, and this is because some political actors are spearheading and funding it . And if you probe, you will meet litigations that are upheld by the idiotic democratic institutions.

To make matters worse , they are enjoying immunity under democracy because of the laws embedded in democracy. Or what shall we say about Hijya Umar Farooq , who was given a ministerial position after siphoning funds meant for IDPs? Or what about Orji Uzor Kalu , who looted his state and yet is a serving senator in the red chambers...?

During the military regime , who born dem well ? Tell me , who born dem ....? My brother , let us not deceive ourselves: democracy is not meant for us in Nigeria

And this candidate has no names, 14 months to the election?

Tinubu has nothing to offer Nigeria... absolutely nothing

If after 25 years as Lagos godfather ... the state still stink and dirty .. with absolutely nothing new or innovation..

You have forgotten the Maitatsine movement which ravaged Nigeria all through the times of supposed military behemoths like Gowon, Murtala Mohammed and Obasanjo save Shagari the pure civilian in whose regime the head of the movement was caught and finished off. But then reared its ugly head again under IBB another military behemoth.
The democratic institutions you adjudge as idiotic on account of stalling investigations into violence were actually made idiotic in this dispensation by the military establishment which largely formed the ruling class since 1999. We all know how much Obasanjo and Atiku weakened the legislature and judiciary hence the emergence of strong men and weak institutions today. The Obasanjo who introduced bribery and corruption into the National Assembly and also signed into law the humongous allowances of the federal legislators which use such allowances to finance terrorists as you rightly deduce, was from which establishment? The same Obasanjo who publicly confessed to being aware of the existence of Boko Haram since 2002 (i.e. under his administration) but left them to fester and grow for the reason of his pursuit of political capital is of which establishment? Now ask yourself why Yaradua who had less of military credentials was the only one who could for the first and only time order soldiers and police to storm Boko Haram hideouts in Kano and wipe out over 800 of them within six hours on a particular day. Jonathan the bloody civilian fought Boko Haram better than Obasanjo the retired Army General. Didn't you ever read it in the news that Obasanjo once visited the Boko Haram leadership and gave them a gift running into millions of Naira thus further encouraging them? Which president of purely civilian background has ever done that in our history?
By your accusations of Kalu and others of looting as civilian rulers, you seem to forget the $12.2bn Gulf War windfall loot which happened under IBB, the unquantifiable Abacha loot which is still being recovered till tomorrow, the, mountainous looting by Abdulsalami Abubakar within his short stay.
After Nzeogwu and co had murdered Balewa, Ahmadu Bello and the rest on allegations of corruption, revelations which later came up proved those figures to have died as paupers and this still forms the basis of the North's unquenchable ill-feelings towards the Igbos and its attendant perpetual lack of national unity which is largely responsible for the tension everywhere. We must be careful the way we over exaggerate the negative activities of politicians.
Where democracy is working today, e.g. the USA, UK, Germany, etc; it didn't begin to work perfectly from day one. It only got refined over time through constant amendments to the constitution to address any loopholes newly discovered at any point in time. Military intervention in politics has never progressed any country and Nigeria can't be an exception. Haiti gained independence in 1810 (just 34 years behind the US) and started with democracy but soon fell into military rule which existed there till 1994 when the US had to forcefully uproot a military regime to pave way for civilians. Because of protracted military rule which lasted in Haiti for 184 years, Haiti is so backward and almost 500 years behind the USA which it gained independence with about the same time. Till today citizens of Haiti still bath in streams and defeacate in bushes and water bodies while easily curable diseases still kill them all due to long years of military rule. Some of them still sleep on beds made of parallel alignment of naked bamboo poles. It is that bad. Military intervention in politics leads to donkey years of retrogression.
