2015: Buhari, Tinubu bury ambitions, to anoint candidate


Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, presidential candidate in the April 2011 election, General Muhammadu Buhari, and leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, may have agreed to bury their differences and aspirations as the CPC and ACN rapprochement continues to gather momentum.


Gen. Mohammed Buhari discussing with Former Governor of Lagos State Bola Tinubu at a meeting in Abuja
The two met in Kaduna at the residence of Buhari last Thursday. Both men also drove together to Kano to the waiting embrace of a mammoth crowd.

It was gathered, at the weekend, that discussions between both men centred on how to proceed preparatory to the 2015 general elections.

Of specific concern, Sunday Vanguard was told by a source privy to the meeting, was the issue of presenting a “united front for the presidential engagement”.

Although talks are still on, the source said that one of the first steps to be taken by each of the parties “would be the movement towards the centre”.

To this end, both men are said to be disposed to a compromise that “would see each relegating his ambition for the common good of the proposed alliance”.

If all goes well, both men, according to our source, would seek and anoint candidates for the presidential election.

In fact, the reason both leaders have decided to commence talks in earnest is “just so they would avoid the type of last minute rancour that led to the collapse of talks last year”, a source said.

It would be recalled that last-minute efforts by the ACN and CPC to forge an alliance for last year’s presidential election collapsed.

The inability of each of the party’s leaders to subsume their ambitions led to the collapse of the talks.

Hope they come out with two credible, sell-able, truly detribalised and religiously unbiased candidates. Though the PDP will always scout for a dangerous garb to wear them, Nigerians need to be wise enough this time around. Change is desperately needed as it's only a fool who will do same thing the same way every time and expect different results. The devil we know kills faster than angels in the bush!

dplordx: Atleast, we can all clearly see Buhari is passionate about Nigeria, and not just his ambition.
Unlike the dunce, called GEJ, who think becoming the President is do or die, regardless of having no iota what Presidents do.
CPC, ACN....I hope ANPP get over their f00lishness, and APGA wakes up and realize they wont rule Nigeria as long as they keep expecting the PDP to hand them that position.
Merge y'all. Create your own manifesto, and have your own power rotation system and make it based on merit and not tribalism....the earlier the better.

well said.. imagine if those parties (ACN,CPC,ANPP,APGA)
i bet it no pdp can stand it.. Then we can run solid 2 party system in Nigeria like Usa and other advance nations

lol

i LAUGH IN SWAHILI.

Mr. Buhari please give chance for Mr. El Rufai

Why no Body is talking about Ribadu, his a reputable candidate but I doubt if he can match Elrufai politically.personally I will preffer fashola/rebadu ticket.

werepeLeri: lol

Mr. Buhari please give chance for Mr. El Rufai

El Rufai? Haba

The thing is and trust me, if can,cpc merge they'l be worse than pdp cos now more people who have diverse interest would conflict over a common interest and we'l be back to square 1

Guy, 2015 is till very far away. Influence will be diminished. Ambitions will be crossed and conflicts will soon arise.
The ACN need to do more work to build an inclusive party. They are threatened in Edo state already. And if they continue with their performance in Osun and Ekiti , they may lose these states and it will be a big set-back for the party.
The major blow to ACN and BAT will be in Ondo election in November.
As for CPC, they are simply not on ground anywhere in Nigeria, even in Nasarawa, they are performing far much more below expectation.

Dogs and baboons

highltighted part is rather long and a rare quality to behold.

the only reason why pdp will not win in 2015 is if jonathan turns out the party flagbearer.

only cpc and acn cant compete with pdp,

2 parties based on tribal sentiments.... Owk let's see how it goes. But sha PDP no de fall hands

This is good move in the right direction people deceived people (PDP) has hold our dear nation into a ransum, may God deliver us from any evil hand.

No matter who they both annoint,they can NEVER defeat PDP much less GEJ
I pity for CPC to trust CAN. Smh,do you not know that GEJ also had secret talks with Tinubu
Who wants to fight against the power that be in Nigeria?do you want to end up like Ibori??
Please and please. Sorry to say but no matter the alliance now,pdp is undeafetable.

i dnt trust dis guys

Mr. Buhari please give chance for Mr. El Rufai

Please be serious,we're talking of a very responsible office.Not one for shameless political Pro[i]st[/i]itues that suffer from diarrhoea of the mouth,corrupt people who seized other peoples lands and alloted same to their family members,friends and biatches,traitors who will stab you in the back the moment the patronage and assistancer you're giving them appears not to rhyme with their greedy and corrupt expectations.

God punish devil El Rufai

Check out the bold and see why they have lost before even starting.

Seeking and anointment of candidate in a supposedly democratic opposition?

Winning elections begins with the process candidates emerge.

If the idea is to seek and anoint impose candidates in 2015, then the PDP will trounce them bastardy starting from Eagle's Square primaries.

I will vote for any candidate from any party that fields a candidate who is academically higher than the others. I am tired of the gimmicks of the political class, if PDP fields a PhD holder and any other party field someone with higher degree, so be it. Obama is a Professor of Law. And if that candidate is anointed, and not going through proper primaries, I will not vote for him

Tho, pdp hav failed us. But sincerely speaken, acn nd cpc put 2geda are not better dan pdp. ...till 2015

porka:

Anointing works only in religion, I do not know how anointing, a religious word came into politics, oh, lest I forget, Godfather is a religious word. And the two Ayatollas, Tinubu and Buhari of the Muslim Clan, wanna field a Northern Muslim to come kill us all with bombs

Stupid people! Is that what the nation need? These are the same people who are stealing from the nation. The youths need to fight for their rights. Nigerians youths are dumbs and are dormant.

Interesting!

Buhari and Tinubu, please think of what else to do. This is what we call the initial gragra. When the time come to select the candidate, we will then know which party will be foolish enough to give their chance to another one. That conflict that arose in 2011 will rise again yet in an intense way. Buhari and Tinubu, please think of what else to do. This is what we call the initial gragra.
