There goes out of the window the hope of those waiting to emerge through consensus or anointing.

A party needs to field their strongest candidate who emerges through keenly contested primary in a free and fair atmosphere. Force any aspirant on the party and watch yourself disintegrate like a pack of cards.

If a consensus should even be used, does it make sense to give the ticket to someone who has never won an election in his life? Someone who could not win his polling booth? Or someone whose state is controlled effectively by PDP where Wike has practically silenced him?

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains the right man for APC. He ticks all the right boxes and he is liked across the country except by Mpurimurim people who cannot even hold their governors to account.

BAT will win the ticket and win the general election convincingly by God's Grace, in sha Allah.

APC's supporters of the opportunistic VP should take heart.
PDP's supporters who have been praying and fighting for "Obi or Osinbajo" should also take heart.

Get used to saying President Bola Ahmed Tinubu already.

So u believe Adamu has any power to decide whether they will use consensus or not? Come on!

Buhari is the alpha and Omega. He will decide what mode to use.

Olasyke:
He has all it takes and Anambra was still a shit hole when he left it? Make una dey deceive unaself. A politician is a politician.

I'll be here when you come to rant about how the economy is failing again. Since y'all like to be sold so much.

Did Obi leave Anambra better or worse than he met it? That's an assignment for u.

Go and find out and come back here for proper deliberation. Thank you.

PHCN is a private individual's investment. By-passing the meter and using free electricity is a wicked way of destroying someone else's business. It's unfair.

As for the solution, call the phone number they left for u and negotiate with them. If u are polite with them, u will not spend more than 50k. Whatever u give them is their own pocket money because there is every likelihood they have not reported the matter to their office.

And be fast about it.

By next week, Tinubu's supporters will tell u they no longer believe in one Nigeria.

StrongandMighty:
Since when did Osibanjo became the president?

Nigeria is currently being ruled by Buhari/Osinbajo. It's a fact

Tinubu has already been endorsed by 6000 delegates Nationwide...

Trumann:
He can't develop Uromi but he could steal money.
Fashola a Minister of Works is rehabilitating ALL the roads leading to and from Lagos. Lagos Ibadan, Lagos Abeokuta, Agbara Badagry, Sagamu Ikorodu.
Anenih the worthless thief you are defending didn't tar a single street in Uromi.

Fashola as a minister has no power to construct any road of his choice. He is only there to oversee the projects covered under FG's blueprint and approved by the FEC. Anenih also oversaw the projects the FG asked his ministry to embark upon as a minister.

Parachoko:
After reading all this, I had to agree you know nothing about Nigerian Politics and is going to be a waste of time having a discussion with you.

If Buhari insists on consensus arrangement, do u think Tinubu or any other candidate can do. Please tell us, we are ready to learn from u sir.

Parachoko:
Why do you think Tinubu will be persuaded to step down from his ambition? If you are in Tinubu's shoe, will you step down when you know you can get it and you are capable to lead?

If the president says he wants consensus arrangement, Tinubu must step down for whoever Buhari chooses. He cannot do anything, he can only grumble quitely like a pig. If he refuses to step down voluntarily, then he will be forced to step down. The president had enormous power at his disposal to do that.

The fact is that Buhari has a preferred candidate and nobody within APC can defeat the candidate of the president.

In Nigeria's democracy, nobody can defeat a president in his own power. You can defeat him from another party but definitely not within his party. In other words, Buhari is bigger than everyone else in APC and whatever he wants he must get, by hook or by crook.

famology:
Only ignorant fools like you talk about consensus because they don't know the provisions of the APC constitution and the new electoral act. Go and educate yourself and stop disgracing your family here.

I can see u are a juvenile, u know nothing about the game. Three primary election methods are allowed in the electoral act. I have no time to educate u on that.

Only a kid will believe an outgoing APC governor will have the power to impose a successor in his state but Buhari cannot impose his own successor in Abuja.

Keep visiting delegates,son.

The guy actually put up a very modest and decent campaign. He is just, unfortunately, a victim of the politics of fractionalisation. His faction of EDO PDP lost to Obaseki's faction. That's all. It has nothing to do with his dad.

Trumann:
Shut up your mouth before I shut it for you.
What did Anenih do in Uromi? Tell us.

You stupid Ipobs will be jumping about as if you know anything about Edo politics. You better shut up and go hide under your bed, today is sit at home.

Did Uromi ever elect Anenih to any position to represent them? From which office did u expect him to develop Uromi?

famology:
Tinubu has no opponent in this race.
Children of hate come and donate your salty tears here.

This boy, don't u take to corrections? What is wrong with u?

I have told u several times that APC presidential candidate will not be decided by any delegate. It will emerge through consensus designed y Buhari. Stop wasting ur time on delegates.

Buhari's candidate will be APC candidate. And Buhari's candidate could be Tinubu or anybody. But it will emerge through consensus.

chukel:
would you say same if it were Tinubu or Buhari

Can u disqualify an aspirant simply because his only sin is that his father is an ex Governor?

Tinubu's son and Buhari's sons have the right to contest an election as long as they have satisfied the basic constitutional requirements for the office they are running for.

pquaver:
His point is those people from Tinubu you like to shout also pass through elections. Was Tinubu wife not elected, or fashola, sanwo lu? But Tinubu dis Tinubu that, now is pdp is no longer a problem we should be ask if it was imposition, have asked if Tinubu own was imposition?

Now, if you are truly the son of ur father, I dare u to show me where and when I have ever shouted or criticized how any of Tinubu's people win/won any election.

I'm waiting...

Stupid thread.

If u know the kind of stress politicians are going through this critical period, u will not post this rubbish.

olas24u:

This is a 3 in one war, this propaganda is for your kinds of people the best of Ukrainian soliders are now pow, s. So which threat remains again. This are photographs and movies. Military, economic, financial war Russia won all.

What exactly did Russia wiin?

Or do u call bombing of schools and hospitals a victory for the army of a so-called superpower?

Abuventure:
Zelensky should wake up and end this war . Donbass and maruipol are devasted and all they could do is to show case a a destroyed tank.

Zelensky should surrender the sovereignty of his country to Russia, u mean? You are a clown

HeroHero:
Russia dealt with Ukraine badly. I saw a video of Ukrainian amputee & wounded soldiers that surrendered. Mehn, I began to weep for them and their families.

Trust me, if they re our Nigerian soldiers, they would abandon the war for their dear life

As if there were no cassualties on the part of the Russian soldiers.

Buckeyemedia1:
Stop wailing, it is simple logic about continuity, Yemi Osinbajo is the anointed one.

Using the word " continuity" to campaign for Osinbajo is a bad strategy. Buhari is a monumental failure and he has brought unprecedented suffering on Nigerians and nobody wants the continuity of sufferings.

Corporate2020:
Whatever you just started smoking, stop it before it stops you

So which point have u made here now?

chukel:
Democracy is not in danger since its PDP. Family business

There is nothing wrong if the son of an ex governor wind sd long as it was a fair contest. Ask yourself, was it imposition? Is the young man qualified for the post?

It's just a pity some of you don't really know Buhari.

Buhari has already chosen his candidate since last year, but typical of him, he will allow everybody to waste their time and money visiting delegates. Buhari will only appear some days to the primary and impose his candidate on everybody in the name of location. And nobody will disagree because the APC people have foolishly made Buhari a god in their party to the extent that nobody disagrees with him.

Parachoko:
Ekwueme contested against Obasanjo in Jos, Obasanjo was not choosing through a consensus.

Is anyone stopping Onu and Okorocha from contesting against Tinubu?

No one stopped Igbos from contesting in 1998, why should you guys be demanding for people like Tinubu should step down?

No one is stopping Okorocha or Onu from contesting at the primaries

Obasanjo has been chosen on consensus before the primary election. In order to douse the tension raised by the Yorubas because of the evil treatment of MKO Abiola, the North's ruling class decided to compensate them with the presidency. And Obasanjo was the most trusted Ally. Obasanjo was specifically released from the prison for this purpose. So the PDP's presidential primary in Jos in 1998 was just a facade to satisfy all righteousness.

Same thing with APC. APC had already chosen Buhari on consensus in 2014/15 even before the primary was held in Lagos that year.

BeardGangJnr1:
The truth is we all should be concern about whoever Buhari endorse.... nothing good can Eva come out of anything buhari

Yeah! We should also be very careful of those who brought Buhari in 2015. Nothing good will ever come out of them because they have a terrible sense of judgement.

So Mbappe should jeopardize his own career, future and happiness just to satisfy Benzema's ego? To hell with Benzema.

If Benzema so much desires to play with Mbappe, let him join Mbappe at PSG.

Healfastijn:
sometimes I ask is there God ( I know He is) why watching Christians to suffer like fatherless?

So you believe God is a Christian? You obviously need help.

Nvestor02:
Christians preach love but they don't practice it

This is blasphemy!

TooNoisy:
This has obviously been a flop. You would expect an average of 30k people per state but I haven't even seen a gathering upto 1000 people... may be we will see those from the South East.

It is clear that most of Peter Obi supporters are Diaspora Igbo people who only vote in Twitter. Most of them don't even live in Nigeria because the 1m man match has been a flop.

It's not the number that matters. It's the zeal and passion of the people to willingly come out without being paid. I can assure u those people u see out there weren't paid a dime and it's uncommon in a clime.

Jimiyke:
Wike will be PDP's biggest electoral liability should he eventually succeed in buying off the Party ticket.

Wike, a full blooded Igbo man, denounces his Igboness all in a bid to be accepted by the North. But the same North knows him as an anti-North and anti-Islam bigot.

As PDP presidential candidate, Wike will struggle to win Rivers, because, he neither have the Ikwere Igbo fully with him, nor the Ijaw. In fact the Ijaw have collectively disowned him and cast a curse on his presidential ambition.

Wike as governor got power drunk. He went about insulting everybody, at the slightest provocation. He harasses the ordinary people and tries to intimidate the elites. Wike has no political base. The ordinary masses are not comfortable with him, because they don't know if he will get drunk with power or beer someday and unilaterally decide to demolish the entire Abuja or Lagos. The political, business, and even religious elites can't be comfortable with him, because they know him as an erratic man who can wake up one day and take an impulsive decision that might set the entire country ablaze or raze down the investments of our billionaires.

Wike deserves the PDP ticket more than any other aspirant. If not for Wike, the PDP would have died long ago. Wike was the sole financier of the party after the electoral defeat of 2015. It was Wike who carried the party on his shoulder after Saraki, Atiku and co joined hands with APC to destroy the PDP in 2015.

Where was ur favorite candidate when APC sent Ali Modu Sheriff to bury PDP in 2016. It was Wike and a few others that stood their ground to weather the storm. Wike is a loyal party man to the core.

You may have personal issues with Wike, but please give him some respect when it comes to PDP affairs.

ogbuefi677:
Lol.
I've worked in Keffi, Nasarawa state for 8yrs now and used to live 3 houses away from Abdullahi Adamu.
All I cam say is u grossly underestimate that man.
No Nasarawa indigene or resident can make this laughable claim u make here

Forget Adamu. Adamu has no say of his own. Buhari is the leader of APC. Whatever Buhari wants, same will Adamu do.
