Less than three weeks after the defection of Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto state to opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), his name sake, Alhaji Abubakar Shehu-Tambuwal has led no fewer than 10,000 people to dump the party.

Shehu-Tambuwal, who was a former PDP Chairman in the state led the 10,000 supporters to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Tambuwal Local Government Area of the state.

So moderator don't wanna update the scoreline?

nawa oh

No mind them.

tuniski:

You don't know anything about middlebelt. Buhari has never won Abuja,Nassarawa and plateau. He won kwara,kogi and benue only in 2015 after 3 attempts. Niger is the only state he always won since 2003.


Taraba is northeast.

I no suppose follow u dey argue. 2019 no far

tuniski:

Having Appointees doesn't necessarily mean electoral fortune. In fact, some ministers are electoral liabilities.

Come 2019, the federal smoke will vanished cos the elections will be nationwide not these isolated ones that APC has been muscling.

Buhari may do insignificant better in the SE/Ss cos the real damage is that middlebelt as a region is lost by Buhari!

Middle belt as in Kogi, Niger, Abuja, Nassarawa? He'll clear these places. He didn't win plateau in the last election and it's not gonna change. He'll get the required 25% in Benue and Taraba and will win Kwara marginally.

Na now you know. Anyway, I hope this your new found knowledge lasts the distance and doesn't change if PDP finally wins the obudu by election

They've won that one. Ayade used thugs to scatter everywhere.

Galaticos444:
Rilly don't know why ar people carried away by dis result.do u actually think apc would score as much vote if election was contested in ex presido gudluck Jonathan senatorial zone

Compare the total number of voters in GEJ senatorial zone and this Katsina North to properly understand what is being discussed here.

SHNAYAJO:
This is an indication 2 PDP dat they need 2 double their hustle in d north if really dy want 2 win come 2019...
But let nt 4get dat d govt on grand in dat state is APC, so their is a tendency dat dy will win..
Take 4 instance, states lyk Rivers & bayelsa. it goin 2 b a landslide winning 4 PDP jst lyk wot happen in dis election..
PDP really now know dat they re sleepin & dy need 2 wake up..

Which Rivers state? The one with Two APC senators and 10 House members? With heavy weight like Ameachi, Abe, Dakuku and Ojukaye Flag Amachree all with Federal backing Wike used in 2015?

Wake up bro. Wike isn't even sure of a second term.

tuniski:


Anyhow it goes, Pdp will do better than it did in 2015 with GEJ in the entire North come 2019!

And APC won't do better in the South with each state having a minister and the likes of Ameachi, Oshiomhole, Akpabio, Ndoma Egba, Dakuku, Ayiri, Okorocha, etc all with Federal backing?

Fariq:


Kwankwaso is second most popular candidate after Buhari. If I am kwankwaso I will support Buhari and fight for the vice presidential sit 2023.

Exactly what I had also expected Tambulwa to do.

frankputer:
PDP need only 25% from this polling unites during presidential election, and from all indication they have it.

And APC won't get 25% in the SE and SS? You guys keep living in denial. Don't forget both the APC and PDP fella are blood brothers and it's only normal for some people to support the loser.

Flawless victory.

Mynd44, this is a 2015 report and the Op is deliberately trying to mislead Nairalanders because he knows many wouldn't verify.

Please lock the thread.

Wiseandtrue:
The same Dogara that was not allowed to vote

Don't expect Dogara to give any negative report about his master!

Nigerians which way forward

On the contrary, he actually voted. Premium times lied.

Hello Mynd44, we've now seen Dogara actually voted, can you also share his reaction on the election with Nairalanders

StillX10:
That means they can rig 2019 on behalf of APC, that's the implication of the statement

What I make of the statement is that he won't be defecting again. If he was, he'll be complaining about being disenfranchised, how some people were also denied their civic rights bla bla bla etc. You know the drill, just look for something to say and discredit the whole process.

My opinion though.

The Speaker, Federal House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara has commended the Independent National Electoral Commission for conducting a peaceful senatorial bye-election on Saturday

According to Dogara, the peaceful election was an indication that INEC was capable of conducting the 2019 election.

Dogara, while speaking exclusively with DAILY POST in his village, Gwarangah, Bogoro LGA Bauchi state said, “I am impressed by the arrangement put in place by INEC because as at now, there is no news of violence or irregularities throughout the bye-election in almost all the seven LGAs in the state,” said Dogara.

He admitted that initially, there was poor turn out of voters, attributing same to the farming season. He, however, expressed satisfaction with the voting pattern.

I have corrected it please.

HarunaWest:

Most of Your post lacks content.. Can't a man aspire and belong to any group he deems fit? Any small thing Buhari this, Buhari That,even me that am from the north no carry him matter on top my head..If I join an APGA today,it's my decision, not everyone must belong to a popular political party. Until Nigerians stop playing selfish interest politics,we will never get anywhere. Buhari has been very below average you won't know cos you receive stipends. His not a very great politician or leader. His just a follower that is opportuned to lead. The northerners love him cos they feel he isnt tainted with corruption like the lot,but I can tell you his government is riddled with corruption. His trustees are corrupt,his household is corrupt so why do you expect me to believe that he ain't corrupt? . If Misau decided to join the PDP that's his political business not yours. Just campaign for your pay master,stop maligning others just because he doesn't believe in your school of thought.. His living his life, go ahead and live yours.

If you like change your name to Haruna North, we know where you're from and that you're related to this guy.

Update on cross river by election.

Voting completed and from all indications APC won BUT the Presiding officer handed the collated result to an agent of Ayade and when the APC agent wanted to stop him, he was arrested by the police.

Expecting updates and clarification

I knew this would happen. Ayade is despised in Obudu currently and he'll be desperate to show he is in control of his local government.

Butterflyle0:


Oh do you know I clearly forgot?

Wait make I find out

Ok. Cool.

bakaredc:

I think he is actually asking about the Cross River house of assembly bye election for Obudu..
I think we let PDP have that one...

I spoke with a friend this morning and he said people are actually against PDP because they gave the ticket o the late man's wife. This is besides Ayade's awful performance in the town and the roads he destroyed and has yet to reconstruct since last year.

Butterflyle0:


I don't understand your question

There's another by-election going on in Obudu to replace the late state house of rep member who died.

PDP gave their ticket to his wife as "compensation So she can take care of the family". But youths are angry and are in support of he APC chap.

I'm not in Obudu ATM and can't get any update from there, so I was asking thinking you're aware of the election also.

Butterflyle0:
BREAKING NEWS!!!

Baba, How far the Obudu by election?

Unik3030:
don't forget that akpabio can't do much in his state cos his governor who controls things directly n officially is against him.the same way amaechi was defeated by wike is the same way akpabio will b defeated.in addition,saraki moved with his governor n other big wigs n that's d main reason APC wants to do everything possible to unseat him because they know fully well the kind of damage he can do to them

Some of you guys just make comments without realizing how silly it sounds. Wike defeated Ameachi a sitting governor with the help of Federal backing. Ameachi controlled the State and was still sitting governor but couldn't do jack.

After PMB was sworn in, APC reclaimed two senatorial seats, one in court and the other through rerun.

Now using your logic, doesn't it also tell you Akpabio with Federal backing can unseat Udom? Try get sense abeg.

bedspread:
When Udom Gathers we will see the same Crowd...
Boys are looking for Cash

Na so

When it's a PDP crowd
- APC is finished
- Back to Daura
-The People are Angry
- Buhari is finished
- No vacancy for APC in SS/SE

When it's an APC crowd

- Rented crowd
- They just came out to see politicians
- N500 per head

PDP were busy looking for how to split APC's vote in the North, while APC since last year were quietly making in road into the South and consolidating their Northern and SW strongholds.

Anybody who thinks Udom is not part if this plan really haven't learned anything from Nigerian politics.

obrigado080:
No be only 3k, na 30k. Lol
Those rented people u are seeing, would collect apc money and still vote them out next year.
As far as Akwa Ibom is concerned, apc is dead b4 arrival...

6 out of 40 and you are happy? Akpabio left with 18

baby124:

The father has taken care of that child for 7years! Do you think a time will come when the mother will not also have to take care of the child? That child is a girl child and getting closer to puberty. Who should teach her to become a woman? Her step mum?? ? While her own mother is alive? Even if the father gave her up because of his wife, her mother is long overdue to also take care of her child!

My elder sister lived with us all through her life. Same with my neighbors daughter. And both of them got married from our respective homes.

My elder brother also married a lady raised by divorced dad. In her own case their dad didn't remarry and single handedly raised both girls from a young age.

Anextin:

Next time you decide to quote me, read and understand before commenting so u don't shot yourself with your bullet. Your last paragraph was exactly what I referred to when I make that comment. If you read it well, you will understand that I blamed the ex boyfriend for taking her daughter away maybe to show he can and punish her. Now he's dumping the poor innocent child cos it doesn't suite his new status. Pls read again and slowly.
You said if she decides to choose the daughter, the man will take his kids abi. My point exactly, when the going gets tough he will then return the kids to her again to cause her another wahala.

My apologies. Too much senseless commenters on here. Thought you meant he made give up the child So he could marry her.

bluefilm:


I agree with you.

The OP is extremely selfish and wicked too.

Maybe he came here to seek for justification so that he will be okay with himself knowing that his rejection of the young girl is a very wicked act.

Had it been he was saying something about not having enough funds to cater for the additional mouth, then I might say let's see some reason with him.

But he just rejected the little girl, not minding the fact that the said girl is still the flesh and blood of his said lover.

Now, how do you want the woman whom you claim to love actually believe that you do love her?

I just don't know what is wrong with some people.

What manner of fuckery is this for crying out loud.

He stated his finances, you just didn't see it but chose to join the bandwagon of people lambasting him.

Why is her bio dad rejecting her for his own marriage to stand? Why cant the new wife accept her husband's child? His flesh and blood? Why is Op receiving the blame?

You didn't even have a word for the irresponsible dad who abandoned his daughter just because of another woman

baby124:

Was the grand mother spreading her legs to get pregnant? Why should the grand mother be forced to take care of her daughters child while the daughter is still alive? The grandmother already took care of her own children. She is under no obligation to take on her grand children at all. She has every right to refuse.

OP you married a woman with a child with clear eye. You accepted the fact that she had a child, you must now accept the child into your home. The father tried taking care of that child for 7 yrs. the child is a girl and is growing, she needs to be with her mother at that age. If you cannot financially take care of her then her mother must work hard to provide for her while getting support from her father. Or you adopt the girl if the father wants nothing to do with her.

Look, in another 8-10yrs that girl will move on with her life and will not be around much longer. In another 3yrs she will be in boarding house and you won’t even see her that much. The deed has been done, support your wife and take in her child. Love the child too. Her grandmother at her age should not be burdened with the care of a child that she did not give birth to or plan financially for.

Grandmother cannot give the child the love and care a stable home will afford her tooo. Just do it for the love you have for your wife. If God forbid something happened to you in future, will you want your wife to abandon your kids because a man tells her to? Don’t put her in that position please. If you did not want a step child you should never have married a woman with kids . It’s just wickedness and selfishness on your part to make a parent push their child out in the cold because you don’t want them.

Baby, a woman like you made the father dump the child after seven years. This means that if roles where reversed, a lot of you won't willingly raise another woman's child knowing the mother while alive and capable, dumped the child just to be with a man.

Bolden, if the man's wife wouldn't want to be a step mom to a child, she should never have gotten married to it's father.

My mom did it, 35 years later my parents are still married and my half sis is closer to my mom than our dad. A close family friend did it too and not until her wedding day did some people get to know my neighbor wasn't her bio mom

The father of the child should man the hell up and take care of the fruit of his seed.

MissRaine69:
The most heartbreaking thing is that there is child who seems unwanted in the middle of all this.
You knew she had a child so she comes as s package so this is no brainer. Accept the child and be the father she needs.
Secondly kindly stop having anymore kids as your hands will be very full from hence forth .

Missy, I've seen and come across some of your posts and threads and you strike me as one who always knows what she's talking about, but that's not the case here.

So the man should automatically change his own life plans (perhaps his own three are already a handful), stop having kids of his own just ti accommodate the child of another man who is alive, healthy and capable of raising her but chooses not to just because of another woman.

I keep advising single guys to flee single moms because of shíts like this. What nonsense

Anextin:


An sure the stupid man might have threatened and cajoled her into giving her daughter up now he feels it's ok to dump her like a sac of potatoes. God punish devil. Its hard to leave your child for another. Op if you reject that child, your marriage will crumble before your eyes cos your wife will never understand why you said no.
The dad dropping her off doesn't mean he won't contribute to her education and upkeep.
So you all can have a meeting and discuss how he will contribute towards her growth.
Don't make your wife chose between you and her daughter. Its not right, and in the long run she will chose her girl. Any mother would.

Nice choice of words there. The biological father doesn't get a stroke of cane from you, the new wife who made him return her after seven years with him isn't called out, her maternal grandma doesn't get a word from you, but the op gets called names for not wanting to take care of her knowing her own dad is able and alive.

You assumed he threatened her to give the child away? What do you mean by that? The father accepted his child for seven years and suddenly because of a woman like you choose to reject the child yet you blame Op.

Let's flip the table a bit, can you willingly raise your man's child who wasn't in the picture when the marriage was contracted in the first place?. Yes you knew he had a child but was with the mom. Now you a have a young child of your own and a set of three months old twins, can you honestly deal with another seven years old knowing her capable mother dumped him just to be with another man?

Let her go ahead and choose between her husband and the child and let's see who loses out because you can be sure he'll take his kids from her.
