You don't get it, you have but one vote, that's if you even have your PVC. The two parties will eventually have to field Igbo candidates just as it was done in 1999. Then Nigerians will have to chose between them.

Who told u the two parties will field Igbo candidates? PDP ticket is already in the North. You better sit tight and get APC ticket, if u can.

So the governor just decided to use state money during a bitter recession to buy a praise singer a brand 2020 Land cruiser

And who told u the car was bought with the state money? Or do u think Seyi Makinde cannot afford such a car from his personal pocket?

Ok

Atiku and Wike are going to kill PDP, the party convention would be war

. Forget that thing. You people have been predicting the death of PDP since 2015 but it refuses to die. PDP is a national party, some people will leave and some will join.

Depressed101:
Igbos wanted a president not a vp, so it was natural that they snorbed PDP presidency

You want Igbo presidency so badly but u could not support your own son Peter Obi to be VP. Very illogical..

The South South got the presidency through the vice president. If the South South had rejected the VP post in 2007 they would never have produced the president in Nigeria.

Go and learn about how the Yorubas the rolled out the drums to support Buhari and Osinbajo in 2015. It's mainly because they were given the VP slot. It was a rude shock to me to learn that the Yorubas gave more votes to Atiku/Obi than the Igbos despite the fact than an Igbo was on the ticket while no Yoruba was on the ticket. This is shameful.

Let the APC give it's presidential ticket to Igbo and let the PDP pick a Northerner with a Yoruba deputy and see how the Yorubas will support the PDP because of their son.

I expected the Igbos to learn some lessons from the Yorubas.

Unlike akpabio and uduaghan,umahi has total control of ebonyi politics.he dominates ebonyi.akpabio never dominated akwa ibom,his power lay in pdp and he had a team that usually helped him to control power.they refuses to defect with him.no one can totally dominate akwa ibom.
As for uduaghan,he was never strong my friend.all his exploits was because of ibori.even as a governor ,he was politically humiliated. Not everyone will defect with umahi but most will move with him.ebonyi is apc

If u understand politics well, u would understand that prior to his defection from the PDP, Akpabio was a stronger politician than Umahi is today. By the time Umahi finishes his tenure as a governor u would then realize he is just like any other Politician.

Meanwhile, stop deceiving yourself thinking that every human being in Ebonyi state has gone to the APC with Umahi.

Dansuqi:
They hate him yet voted him last year? Are you ok? When will you guys stop all this needless hatred

The fact that the people voted for under party A does not mean they will still vote u if u decamp to party B. Akpabio and Uduaghan will tell u more.

It's good that Umahi has decamped to APC but it's very childish for anyone to think that Umahi has taken all sons and daughters of Ebonyi state along with him to APC.

tamdun:
Yinmu, things won't be easy for pdp come 2023, with eboyin gone and more to come, pdp better put their house in order, na only atike b credible candidate (not credible actually) wey them get?

Umahi left PDP. Ebonyi has not left the PDP.

I expected u to know that there is a difference between Ebonyi state and Umahi.

A man that got PDP's governorship ticket two consecutive times is complaining of injustice...

dukeprince50:
Except the SE will agree to take a VP position, I do not see PDP winning 2023 election.
my reasons are because most people see Ipob as Igbo thing just like they see Boko haram as Northern thing and with the hatred, lies and insults from Ipob on other states and other states on Ipob, it will be difficult for a SE politician to win 2023 presidential election with PDP as a party, cos the north won't vote them after all the name calling and making PMB government hard.
The west and east are like two parallel lines, and recently SS is getting divided, so their only stronghold is SE and some part of SS.

Meanwhile if PDP gives it to the North, PDP may loose their stronghold, which is the SE and that isn't too good, this will make most politicians from SE move to APGA and APC.

PDP might win some states in gubernatorial election but may never win those states in presidential election.
PDP option is to give it to SE, they may not win(no one knows) but at least, the SE deserve to get the presidential ticket, but if they don't win 2023, the party will be loosing its supporters and also its value, it will be difficult to win future election after 16years of not seeing ASO rock

APC on the other hand, had no problem with zoning as long as it comes to the South. There are a lot of heavy weights in the South that can win presidential election, any day any time.
2023 is going to be tough, I wish to be alive till then

Let APC gives it's presidential ticket to an Igbo and let PDP picks it's candidate from the north with a Yoruba deputy. You can now predict the result even before the election is conducted.

If the Igbos want the presidency, they need the right approach and build bridges and not by blackmail.

Which SARS again, the one FG already disbanded for you people?

Even if SARS has been disbanded, it's still the job of the police to tackle criminality and robbery. Where was the police? Or has the police been disbanded too?

Nwadiuto247:
PDP will lose a lot of vote in the southeast in 2023 election due to the following.

The 2015 and 2019 voting pattern in the South East was a kind of protest vote against APC who they see as people who cheated Jonathan out of power. With Buhari out of the game in 2023 the voting pattern will change and
PDP will lose a good number of it's voters in the South East to APC.

2. The rumour of killing of igbos in Oyigbo is another factor that has dampen the excitement the south east have about Wike and PDP.

3. The defection of Gov. Umahi to APC will lead to more defection before 2023 and this will affect PDP. Votes in the SE.

The days of 5% APC and 95% PDP in the South East are over.

APC has more visible projects in South East than the PDP but PDP gave South East more appointments than APC so each of the party has something to compaigñ with in the southeast.

The Southeast is now a level playing ground for both parties.

All this just because of Igbo presidency. Agreed that in the spirit of fairness there must be Igbo presidency, but I would advise the Igbos to use wisdom so that they would not loose their place of honor in the PDP. If the APC ticket is given to an Igbo and the North retains the PDP ticket, there would be higher chances that the PDP will win the election and the Igbos will become orphans politically for the next 30 years.

We need wisdom!

It seems the Igbos are confused. They do know what exactly they want.

Do they want a presidential ticket or the presidency?

Giving the presidential ticket to the Igbos is not a guaranty to the presidency. I will advise them to stay away from the APC presidential ticket because the APC ticket is now a poisoned chalice.

Babtunz:
The problem with this nation is actually not Buhari. It's the people associated with Buhari. They're utterly useless and frivolous.

Why did buhari associate himself with useless people?

Afamed:
Keep quiet. Yesterday was Sunday, Biden was live in the church while your semi god Trump was at his golf resort . Shame on people like you. The way of God is not the way of hypocrite like una

Being in a church is not a sign of godliness. Trust me, even Satan was in the church yesterday.

You mean the Governor of Lagos State is the C-in-C of the Nigerian Armed Forces?

Where is the evidence of the invitation?

Let Sanwo-Olu deny it first!

Mide3367:
So that Tuesday night, I just came back home from my cucumber and ugu farm In ibeju lekki with my immediate younger brother around 8pm when the news of soldiers killing people filtered out into the Internet. It was all over whatsapp status, Instagram, Facebook, telegram DMs etc. I was alarmed at the gory pics I saw with a whole lots of videos. I slept with heavy heart. I woke up in the morning of Wednesday and still felt terrible about the incident that a whole 78 people were killed. So later in the evening, I visited a guest who came from Abuja. Then I raise the matter and he asked me a question. "Mide, this is almost 24 hours. Have you seen the names of the dead people posted? Have u seen people like reno omokri circulate videos or pics of the dead? Even nnamdi kalu with his minions all around the cyber space couldn't get a verified names, videos, pics etc to post and make Global too. So where is the prove that's 78 people are massacred? I was immediately brought out of my emotional reasoning to a logical reasoning. Immediately I created a thread on nairaland and a lot of people insulted the hell out of me. I posted on my status, friends DM and when I tried proving a point, I was blocked. I posted on twitter and got more insults. I was evicted from about 5 whatsapp groups where people respected me. So where like I know this guy he isn't like that perhaps his account was hacked. As if stands now, I have lost my friends due to this matter. I wish we can get to the root of the matter. Thank God someone like omotola also posted something similar to mine and she was bashed. And I am sure a whole lots of followers unfollowed her before she deleted the post on twitter. But I am still holding on to my stance about the matter till I am convinced beyond reasonable doubt.
I rest my case. I have #sorosoked my own oro
By Mide

I have a simple question for u. Please answer it with all honesty.

Did u believe there were shootings by the military at the lekki toll gate on the said Tuesday night?

festacman:
Conscience is an open wound, until truth can heal it.

I am beginning to believe that the use of soldiers instead of riot policemen to disperse protesters who were disobeying lawful curfew at Lekki Tollgate may be wrong but the impression that masaccre and genocide happened was a big lie. There is no way trained soldiers would have shot directly at scampering protesters without the Lekki Tollgate being littered with corpses. Yes, the soldiers used maximum force but they obviously shot to scare and disperse and not to masaccre as emotional social media hype conveyed.

Truth will set you free and it doesn't matter if you are rightly an angry youth.

29.10.20 was neither a massacre nor a genocide but an unnecessary use of military rather than riot police to disperse resolute protesters.

What exactly are u trying to defend?

Was there any shooting by the military at Lekki toll gate? If yes, did anybody die?

Answer that question and stop beating about the bush.

TechyMm0:



Is this some kind of PDP stupidity?

4 people died in Ogbomosho, the king's palace was looted,

Makinde's first line of action is to pay the king 100 million Naira to renovate his palace, and the dead victims families got 1 million


.

Seyi Making paid the families of the dead victims 1 million naira each blablabla.

Please how much did Sanwo-Olu paid the families of the dead victims of lekki massacre?

hmm the man called obi should be arrested asap!! I will post it on twitter people need to know that he is not a messiah and he is even worst than the average APC Politician

oluwadabira111:
On his role in abusing of human right when he was the gorvenon of anambra state,he should not be consider for any elective post in Nigeria again. And he need to be arrested and prosecuted ASAP

dometome:
no we are not, Peter Obi is not in the good books of IPOB. I hope you know that. He is clamouring for one Nigerian, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has said it times without number, that any Biafran Politician that wants one Nigeria is Evil. Peter Obi is Evil, yes he is. You should listen to Radio Biafra more often.

It's like u have a personal message quarrel with Peter Obi

obailala:
A lot of people justifying the chasing of Sowore cited a reason that he helped bring PMB to power. But what these folks do not know is that chasing Sowore for this reason only makes the protest look political, i.e. pro-GEJ/PDP and anti-PMB/APC.

Sowore is a politician and it's very dangerous for a politician to lead a protest of this magnitude. If Sowore is allowed to hijack the protest, the FG will then tag the protest political and the FG will now have a valid reason to forcefully clamp down on the protesters.

Some people believe that Sowore is angry because he lost the presidential election to BUHARI.

Cyberterror:
First of all, these CSOs are PDP sponsored. Second, the PDP don't have the numbers in the Senate to block her confirmation. Third, Lauretta Onochie is very qualified for that position as a lawyer. Fourth, she is not partisan as defined by the law they quoted because she is neither an elected official or someone who has contested an election on the platform of any political party.

Buhari keeps setting bad precedence and u keep applauding him, maybe u think Buhari and APC will be president forever. Don't worry, soon another president will come and appoint his party national chairman as INEC chairman.

This thread discretely seeks to justify police brutality.

When did low salary become a reason to kill innocent people? may be teachers should start killing their students because their salaries are small too.

If you know that police salary is too small for u, please don't join the police. There can never be a justification for police brutality.

In Yorubaland, we also have our own apprenticeship system. But in our own apprenticeship system, the servant will religiously serve the master for a number of years and thereafter it is the servant that will still pay the master. After serving the master for the agreed number of years, the master will now demand for money and some other items to do what we call "FREEDOM", after which the master will send the servant away empty handed to go and start from the scratch. Most servants may never be able to raise a start-up capital in their lifetime. Isn't this wickedness?

Should we blame the Igbos for this too?

In the spirit of fair play, the Returning officer should not even come from Ondo state. The last time I checked we had many competent professors in Nigeria. So why picking a kinsman of one of the candidates as the Returning officer?

This should not be too hard for INEC to understand...

Jones4190:
As Chairman of PTDF, Buhari tarred roads and provided drugs for all regions in the country. He didn't discriminate against any region. As a President since 2015, he has done more in Infrastructural development in South East than any Government in history.

What is your obsession with the South East?

BIGGESThead6:
APC wanted the election to be free and fair, but PDP and Ugly Obaseki rigged the election to their favour.

Lol.. APC wanting a free and fair election?

You are a joke!

BIGGESThead6:
What he is trying to say is that, Obaseki is just an acting Governor. Cause the Supreme Court will remove him from Office.

Ordinary election in Edo they cannot win. They are now relying on the supreme Court to manufacture a victory for them. Lazy people!

It is only the university management that has the authority to confirm/deny the authenticity of a certificate. The Alumni association has no such authority.

When the case gets to the court, the alumni association will not be a party to the case. So any politician can hide under the alumni association to heat up the polity.

Fashola refused to tell us that the Federal government is in charge of power and security.

Fashola is a very big fraud. What a terrible being he is!

mosdii:
This is laughable.

What are the prayers of ANDP?
The ANDP was after its exclusion and not proving if its candidates were validly nominated or qualified.


Bottom line, INEC has no power to disqualify or exclude a party from participating in an election because it doesn't screen candidates of parties contesting an election.


Nigerian judiciary is a mess.

ANDP failed to submit the name of a candidate within the stipulated time. This means they had no candidate for the said election. And if a party doesn't have a candidate for an election, INEC is duty bound to exclude the said party from the ballot.
