Obi and kwankwaso are secretly sponsored by the APC to split the supporters of PDP. because the two of them know vividly they can't win election through the respective parties they decamped to. APC know Ganduje can hardly win Kano for them because of the current crises in Kano APC. instead of PDP to get massive vote there, they decided to sponsor kwankwaso secretly to split Kano election that would av worked in favour of PDP. With all this calculation, APC is going no where bcs people are tired of the hardships and havoc they've caused d nation.

Imagine if this was nigeria

FieldMarshall06:
Wisdom and foresight are expensive gifts that Nigerian politicians seem to lack. And it has always cost the nation dearly.
As it stands today, Nigeria is at a critical point in its existence that is worse than the pre-war 60s.

First, why are Northerners fighting for power after Buhari? Why?

Second, why did Northern elders intervene for Atiku during the PDP presidential primaries? Why? Is it the North's turn?

Third, why can't the North insist that power must go to the SE, and defend it.

You see, the North would lose a lot after the wind of Karma blows. We humans shouldn't play God, we are mere mortals. And God's will would eventually be done in Nigeria.

By fighting for power in 2023, northern politicians have killed zoning, and that is very dangerous to the core North. The middle belt are swing states, remember.

The failure of the North and their greed for power would be their greatest regret. Good luck to their politicians fighting for power after Buhari. They started it, and wouldn't be able to complain in future. Atiku's victory has set a bad precedent when it's the turn of the South.

If power doesn't go to the SE in 2023, then sorry for Nigeria.

Pls save this thread for the long future. Nigeria is pregnant.

drlateef:
Definitely not true. Buhari knows that only Tinubu can win this election. PYO never won an election by himself in past. Tinubu was the only one who helped Buhari win presidential election twice. Everyone in APC knows that it’s only Tinubu that can confront Atiku. Every other person will be given a total knockout, a bleeding nose and upper cut by Atiku. He is too experienced for any politician in APC apart from Tinubu. APC will definitely lose if any other person is chosen apart from Tinubu.

drlateef:
Indeed only Tinubu meets all the criteria prescribed by Buhari.

triple996:
Buhari wants tinubu....it's obvious

WATCHOVER:
THE WORD SYMPATHY i use does not mean weak but a CLEAR GENTLE MAN AGREEMENT That was enshrind into the PDP constitution by their FOUNDATION FATHERS

Fredmatic:
This your defence does not hold water, if he so much feel betrayed by then why not support wike to win since, woke supported him during 2019 election, then wike would have made him his vp .
Is purely tribalism

WATCHOVER:
You are very wrong Tambuwa has no moral justification because he stood no chance at the First place to Win, even at a time Nigerians were Sympathetic to carry South East cross

Dapson73:
Why can't he support his biggest benefactor in 2019 to spite all the Northerners in the game.


Keep your childish analysis to yourself. Here's not a beer parlour. Thanks

WATCHOVER:
Who told you Atiku won because of Dollars? Atiku won because of Tribalism played by Tambuwa

PDP chairman, Ayu calls Tambuwal ‘hero of convention’ as Atiku pays thank you visit

Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, on Sunday, received a thank you visit from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders and stakeholders.

Tambuwal had during the PDP presidential primary on Saturday stood down for Atiku Abubakar, a development, which eventually gave him victory.

Atiku had during the presidential primary defeated the governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike.

Those who paid a thank you visit to Tambuwal, according to a short video seen were; Atiku and the National Chairman of the party, Iyorchia Ayu.

Ayu was accompanied by the former Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido; former Minister of Police Affairs, Adamu Maina and a former governor of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha.

A video of Atiku’s visit to Tambuwal’s residence, which was shared online, indicated that the former vice president was accompanied by Senator Dino Melaye.

Similarly, another short video clip, which was also shared online, showed Ayu patting Tambuwal’s back and saying” Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are the hero of the convention.”

This guy would have known by now that his own worst enemy are his own 5% brothers. Shame on the mkpurus

Xscape1993:
I am still watching GEJ. I reserve my comments for now...GEJ can not just do this to himself and his good followers. Has he forgotten all the insults that the evil party rained on him so quickly? Somebody should just wake me up from my deep sleep...

Kenneth4u205:
Your calculations is only valid if APC chose a northern candidate.not valid of the mistakenly chose southerner like Tinubu

Sergio104:
We in the south makes noise

They march noise with action

One single action of Tambuwal changed the tide(this is what we call pure sophisticated politics)

ecoco2014:
One of these 3:
-Emmanuel Udom

-Okezie Ikpeazu

What do you think?

Michaelmercy:
Wike had a great fight but unfortunately due to the ununited southerners and northerners chess game, he was outridden. A man with balls but for real this northerners are the most self centered people and stingiest people. Imagine after spending 8 years, they still wanna go again. If APC tries to field a northerner, that's the end fr. I will sit down in my home and be eating popcorn on that day or vote peter obi instead.

Sunnycliff:
Hahahah! Buhari effect donnde ckear zonebs eyes, one by one

Stanweezy:
Na so Taraba gave their ticket to a woman and lost wotowoto at the polls

Penguin2:
And that’s how you people hate him?

So his mental sickness is asking for removal of subsidy?

Chai! Nigeria ndo

foryourmind:
I nominate former CBN governor and former Kano Emir, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as Obi's running mate.


That man is one of the only few truthsayers I can think of in Northern Nigeria and Nigeria generally.

He told GEJ about the stolen $20bn in his govt and he was sacked as CBN gov.

He told Gadunje to repent from corruption and was sacked as Emir. He's just like Peter Obi. They will be compatible.

Who do you think should be Peter Obi's running mate?

Lalasticlala, seun

Up Peter Obi

iLoveYouToo:
Nothing like reliable source, past your source. We’re tired of fake and sensationalized updates.

Ahead of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary, President Muhammadu Buhari has met with governors who are members of the party, Daily Trust learnt from credible sources.

The sources told this newspaper that the president met with the governors on Tuesday night.

The ruling party had slated its presidential primary for Sunday/Monday, where delegates will elect the party’s flag bearer for the 2023 presidential election.

There has been anxiety among the 23 presidential aspirants of the party as the screening, which was scheduled for last Monday was postponed indefinitely.

Top shots of the party, governors and presidential aspirants had told this paper that they were awaiting the president’s guidance ahead of the primary.

One of them, a former governor said, “The tension and confusion in the party is as a result of lack of direction by the president. Everybody is confused.”

But a source close to the president told one of our correspondents that the governors and the party leadership have been told to ensure the conduct of a peaceful and transparent primary.

“The president has told the governors and the party to ensure that the primary is transparent and fair. He did not mention anybody as his preferred candidate during the meeting,” the source, who is an ally of the president, said.

A presidential aspirant, who also confirmed the meeting of the president with the governors, said they were anxiously waiting for Buhari’s direction.

“Two governors told me that they met with the president and that he did not say anything about his choice. We are afraid it would be at the venue of the primary that we will get to know,” he said.

While some observers felt that the “suspense” on the side of the president was too heavy, others believed President Buhari was setting good precedence.

Muhammad Sani, who teaches in one of the higher institutions in the North East, said the fact that the president allowed all the contenders to go round the country and consult is good and commendable.

“Even if he has a preferred candidate, who is not known to anybody going by the fillers we are getting, the president is setting excellent precedence and opening the political space.

“Look at how he travelled out of the country at a critical hour; some people might think what he did was wrong but the opposite is the case. Let the race be the survival of the fittest with limited influence from the president,” he said.

Off to Malabo for AU summit

Meanwhile, the president on Thursday left Abuja for Malabo, Equatorial Guinea to participate in the African Union Extra-ordinary Session of Assembly of Heads of State and Government with a special focus on security.

The president was accompanied by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama; Minister of Defence, Maj.-Gen. Bashir Salihi Magashi (rtd); Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management & Social Development, Sadiya Umar Farouq; National Security Adviser, Maj-Gen Babagana Monguno (rtd); Director General, National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Amb. Ahmed Rufa’i Abubakar and Chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) Abike Dabiri-Erewa.

Mrs Aisha Buhari, who is the President of the African First Ladies Peace Mission, also accompanied her husband to the African Union meeting.

A presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, in a statement, said the three-day summit, which will hold between May 26 and 28, will also focus on humanitarian challenges in Africa, with related issues on migration, refugees, returnees and Internally Displaced Persons.

He said the African leaders will look at terrorism and unconstitutional change of government, with attendant spiralling effects on human rights and economies at the summit.

High profile meetings ahead of primary

Forty-eight hours to the party’s primaries, the party leadership and the governors have not been forthcoming with what Nigerians should expect.

After their meeting on Monday night at the Kebbi State Governor’s Lodge in Abuja, the governors, who are critical stakeholders, refused to brief newsmen.

Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello; Jigawa State Governor, Abubakar Badaru; Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi and Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi were some of the presidential aspirants among the governors who attended the meeting.

Governor Nasir-El-Rufai of Kaduna State; Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State; Kebbi State Governor and Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), Senator Atiku Bagudu and a few others were also at the meeting.

The governors left the venue of the meeting one after another and declined to speak with newsmen, referring them to Governor Bagudu, Chairman of the Forum who also declined to brief at the end of the meeting which lasted for several hours.

On Tuesday, the NWC met at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja, and equally refused to brief newsmen at the end of their meeting, which lasted for over three hours. No NWC member agreed to speak to newsmen.

The APC National Publicity Secretary, Barrister Felix Morka, neither answered his calls nor responded to a text message sent to him as of the time of filing this report.

We’ll be fair to aspirants – Nat’l chair

In an interview with the Hausa Service of the Voice of America, the National Chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu assured that they would be fair to all the aspirants.

“Our goal is to ensure justice in the choice of who emerges as the candidate of the party that does not mean we are perfect, but we pray we do the right thing. We have aspirants from across the country in the presidential race. We will make the decision when we get there.

“However, the party has laid down its rules and regulations for the aspirants; we would scrutinise all of them based on our guidelines to be sure we pick the right candidate for the party,” he said.
