I doubt, maybe the governor wants to smuggle his way back into the governorship race

Wow

Chai! Why this guy steps down Nah?

The governor thought he was smart. Gunning for the presidency when you've got no chance.

They no longer taste the waters, they now secure their seats while tasting the waters... Consensus candidates and anointed aspirants are now the order of the day.. its only a matter of time we might just be headed for royal families and hegemony.
How low can we go Nigeria, at this pace does it not show we are rushing backwards...

A position change is still possible, the tide is strong, but we can still change the narrative, it all begins with you and myself believing.

Vote right, Vote Labour, Vote Peter Obi...

I was feeling you until I saw the bolded statement

This is all planned. Wat even made PDP 2 cancelled d primaries governorship election? Bala Muhammad CARRY GO.

We know who day behind him stepping down. Since the governor I mean the current one no win presidential primary e won go collect the governor own back

By the provisions of the electoral act, political parties can replace candidate in any election in case of a candidate's withdraw, provided it's not less than 90 days to the general electio. Than You.

MMWandali:
Window is already closed

Is not the extention for the Primaries which which were never CONDUCTED?

Bala would lose even at the tribunal

Esseite:


Peter Obi switching party is not an offence neither was he denying any candidate from aspiring. Infact he lost N40m to the ordeal, He left before the primaries aswell and held no elective position in the party prior to then. Bala held down an elective position while aspiring for another. Before one can do that, it means he made his deputy the only aspirant so there would be no runner up and another Guber primaries would be conducted...

Where is the democracy in that?....it has worked, Tambuwal has copied it, Bala has joined, Tomorrow it becomes a norm and gradually party primaries are thrown out the window... how long can we continue to retrogress?..

Vote right, vote Labour, Vote Peter Obi....

Did INEC tell you that a candidate stepping down is an offence. And again, you do not have a problem with Obi changing parties but god forbid it’s another another ‘politician’. We are all hypocrites in Nigeria.

We need a serious electoral reform in Nigeria. You ran to contest for president, lost primaries and now coming back to distort a process that already produced a gubernatorial candidate of the party. I can imagine the pressure on this candidate to step down. Its obvious he did so that Bala Mohammed can have his second term in office.. We need to reform this crapy electoral process.

Prettychild:

Learn to always argue you with valid points in order to sell your candidate. If you keep with the insult, you are not projecting a good image of your candidate

And who told you I am projecting any politician here??

I foresee this coming... This politicians have turned us to be fools. This is a pure game in which I perceived an earlier conspiracy of deciet in the primary conducted by PDP in the State. It's purely a stratetegy for Bala Muhammed to come and take his seat. He stepped down so that the incumbent Governor that went to vie for President in the just concluded PDP Primaries but could not even have a single vote to come and takeover what he perceived he's the rightful owner (that is the Flag bearer for 2023).
What a shame! This I simply called Politics of Connivance in a Country where everything seems to be halted, and thinking all people are daft. EFCC supposed to swift in here, coz if you understand what I understood...

Nigeria politics should be a course in the world

The bad precedent we set today just because we are on the dinning table would hunt us tomorrow when the tables are turned.. No one has an issue with any aspirant switching parties, we were not born into parties. But holding down political positions for selfish gains at the detriment of everyone is a bad precedent being set.

Vote right, vote Labour, vote Peter Obi..

And it's so pathetic.
I wish INEC will close the door on them

However, Governor Mohammed lost the presidential primary election at the last weekend’s special national convention of the PDP in Abuja.
Hope you gerrit...

This was an arrangee thing orchestrated and implemented by the current state government. People will always look for loopholes to manipulate. Bala took shot at the presidency knowing fully well it could go either way. So he used the winner who is crony to hold down is second term. Now Bala Mohammed will now contest perhaps as sole candidate an win. End of story

THIS APC GOVERNMENT HAS FINISHED THIS COUNTRY. PEOPLE HAVE GONE BACK TO ANCIENT MONEY RITUALS, KIDNAPPING, LOW END 419 , VILLAGES ARE NOW BEING ATTACKED AND LANDS TAKEN AND OCCUPIED IN BROAD LIGHT, PUBLIC FUNDS EMBEZZLEMENT IN FULL FLARE OF THE MASSES , LOSS OF LIVES HAVE BECOME NO NEWS EVEN TO KIDS. THESE ARE ARCHAIC VICES AND CRIMES I USED TO HEAR OF OR READ IN BOOKS IN MY CHILDHOOD DAYS.

IF NOT THAT NIGERIANS ARE ALREADY CURSED WITH SUFFERING AND FOOLISHNESS , WHY WOULD SOMEONE BE MENTIONING APC PARTY, EVEN IF THEIR CANDIDATES ARE ANGELS SENT FROM HEAVEN.

This is just the beginning

God1000:

it was an arrangement for him to hold it for the Governor Bala Mohd who was contesting the Presidential primaries. On Saturday, the Governorship slot will be given back to Bala Mohd

okorocha started that rubbish

They forced him to withdraw for the current governor

God1000:

He wants the Gov who failed the presidential primary last week to be the Guber candidate in the state.

Politicians what to finish every dignity left in this country.

Placeholder for Bala Mohammed.

Bala will contest and return to the Government House.

If it’s me, I won’t release the ticket to the governor.

I won’t even bow to any pressure or yield to any persuasion.

And you will get served. it's like you don't know shit 'bout politics.

God1000:

He was just playing script for governor who thought he will clinch the presidential ticket of his party

Nigeria and its script writing.
