I have always said people should learn to be less emotionally driven.
Buhari's candidate is not Lawan.
It's a false kite to force everyone towards a consensus.
It's the wisdom elders apply when kids are fighting over a toy. Threaten to give it to an outsider.
I fear buhari's candidate is not from SW after all.
This is a ploy to get the southern candidates jittery and the northern govs more amenable to his wish.
He knows how strong Tinubu and Osinbajo especially are towards the convention.
With this move, the northern govs will be ready to take any name he offers them as long as it's not from the North.
The southern candidates will also not be able to put up a fight lest they lose it all.
My haunch is Nwajiuba or Amaechi

I have always suspected nwajiuba or onu.I have always stated that personally,I'll prefer buhsri picks someone from the ss/se and then compensates acn/tinubu.I just hope lawan is not the consensus

Buhari is tone deaf. If he wanted Lawan, he would have named him that night he had meeting with the aspirants.
Though I believe he was ambushed by those govs and he'll get his pound of flesh by ensuring none of them emerges VP.
That's why Adamu was sent to name Lawan. It's a ploy to weaken the SW candidates' hand.
Unfortunately, the North keeps toying with the south as they wish

My hunch has always been Osinbajo/Lawan/Amaechi.

Whatever it is... One thing I know will be achieved.... The President having his way.

The north is toying with Nigeria's unity and outplaying itself.they are not as smart as they think.if they are smart,they read the mood of the nation and bring a pro north southerner rather than another core northerner..all these shenanigans are fostering southern unity and turning the south against the north.the endsars was a symptom of southern frustration.majority of southerners are angry with the north, the last straw would soon be broken.even I a core buharist is tired

Tinubu will emerge as APC presidential candidate tomorrow. Please save for reference. Let's enjoy politics together tomorrow.

You talk as if you are not in this country.people are fed up.you think even the politicians are not tired of him? Since he doesnt respect others,they would also disrespect him

You now know people are fed up?
When everybody was shouting, what did you say? Nothing.
Even yeye Ayade & Ikpeazu did what they wanted without asking for respect from everybody.

Politicians are naturally shameless, hence it's nothing new so let him pick his Candidate... All these things now is because it's not your Choice. I also wanted him to pick a Southern Christian, so why should I cry more than the bereaved.

He has said, go form a Consensus, has anybody stepped down from the South, so far? Let us not always blame others for our mistakes. Did you see Garba Shehu's tweet?

Southerners kee you there, better address your SW people specifically, it's all man for himself now...this is politics 101 at play now.

My brother,I always knew that southerners were fed up.do you know how many times I was attacked,abused and ridiculed for supporting buhari? People hate that man,most of his supporters abandoned him,I am among the last to still support him thinking all will be well.for me to now tell you that am tired,it means buhsri will be rubbished.no one is with him.you think a lot of those around him are happy?

Yes onu is closer to him

You are complaining in the SS, ask those in the SE supporting Buhari what they see?

My brother, the only other concessions for me were : Amaechi 1st because his region has been there 10 years, then Osinbajo (whose region has been the most beneficiary since 1999). The religious ticket favours them and that's why. Onu/Nwajiuba are outliers because their region have not produced any even though firmly in opposition hands.

If you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail.

That is why picking lawan will be the last straw.buhari has lost it totally.no one is with him,everyone that were pretending will show their colours.Nigeria is on the brink and we must save it

My problem is that the South never learns.

Leave all our instant emotions, later we will forget and continue hitting ourselves again.

APC abeg make una hurry do una primaries I don tire with the speculations.

At the end, the South always shoots itself in the leg....

Congrats to our Yoruba and Igbo brethren. Your fault, your responsibility.

Let's hope thi is false alarm.
We lost our chance 2015.


It's not about being a good leader this time cos buhari was everything bad but gaining the political momentum to balance everything the military used to favour North. We were going somewhere with Jonathan.
Assuming Jonathan was left to finish, confab and restructuring must have taken place. More local govts will be created to balance the local govt and se would have gotten 6 states.

We can now compete favourably.

This is the greatest anger of se. Not se presidency.

We always do. Always.

That's why I laugh at the idea that 'the fulanis are ruling us because Britain'. The fulanis are ruling us because South got no agenda. Everyone wants his or her agenda as the Southerner agenda.

Well, I warn't supporting PDP or APC anyways...so they can go do themselves as usual.

helinues:

He is disguising and he knows. Trying to form democrat but his mind was on this ever since.

If not Lawan, whomever it is, we know whom he doesn't want to hand over to.

When they started this Southern Govs Forum thing, they were getting somewhere until the Agenda began to unfold.

Lawan is out of Buhari's consensus plan. It's not logical for Buhari to present another northerner as a consensus candidate... Lawan that is not even popular outside his home state.

Buhari must have made up his mind about who to succeed him long time. The media are the one speculating so many things
