coolkris: Who is tambuwal?

U don't knw who tambuwal is??

confusion247: The answer can easily be found in injustice. Jonathan must complete his second term in office if we still want Nigeria. Then after that Igbos should be allowed to rule if we believe in justice and equality.

Justice should be to nigerians not igbos or SS...we need ☑ leadership not tribal leadership

Tribalism/regionalism isn't fairness...democracy is not about tribe its abt the voting the right person for the right post

van bonattel: Two muslims?

Yes

confusion247: If it becomes reality, then we will have south south republic, Biafra and Nigeria. That will be welcomed development.

Why cos ss/se are nt in leadership?

If the Tambuwal/Fashola ticket becomes a reality do u think nigerians will vote for them

Groups withing and outside APC are lobbying for Buhari to support speaker aminu tambuwal as presidential candidate in 2015. National assembly members across parties are busy lobbying northern governors and elders to make sure buhari steps down and supports tambuwal..It is believed that Gov fashola will be his vice if everything goes according to plan...

-----

In the run up to the 2015 general elections, it emerged at the weekend that there are permutations in top political circles to draft Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, to run as President.

Daily Independent gathered exclusively that already, political associates of the Speaker have begun consultations across different political parties, especially the opposition camp.

There were unconfirmed reports that some aggrieved members of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have opened discussions with the leadership of both the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) and the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) as the merger talks between the two parties peaked last week.

Curiously too, three Senators on the platform of the PDP as well as a former Governor (now a Senator) are said to be spear-heading the Tambuwal for President Project with tacit support of some opposition party members.

Three weeks ago, after their first meeting in a Middle East country, the group sought to extend their moves to the South West geo-political zone but for the reception organised for former President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta, as most of the former South West Governors and ex-Ministers already in the know of the project were busy with the former President’s programme.

A source familiar with the move to draft Tambuwal into the 2015 race said on Sunday: “What we are doing is to take advantage of the current political mood of the nation vis-à-vis what is going on within the PDP; in the PDP if we continue this way, what we are facing is forced political enslavement by mediocres who are doing everything to entrench themselves.

“As at today, no one can be said to be happy that we are in this mess, and some selfish individuals rather than giving quality advice to the President, are making things difficult for him by the day.

“For all the opposition against the President, even by his opponents, no one has said the man is bad as a person; but there are certain persons who mill around him to confuse him.

“We are aware that such persons have already commenced moves to say the man should run; for such persons, it is a matter of personal survival and not that of the country and not because they love President Jonathan.

“The reason we are exploring other options is that when a sitting President decides to contest the ticket of the PDP, especially in Nigeria, it is difficult for anyone to beat him to the ticket.

“That is why we are gunning for a younger person to challenge him should he decide to run; and the platform could be any party, especially now that all other political parties are coming together to fight the PDP,” the source said.

The source, however, added that Tambuwal was yet to open any discussions with the group.

“The man appears to be studying the situation, he has kept quiet, but we will forge ahead to save the nation from being plunged into crisis.”

When I read the report in one national daily last week to the effect that there were pressures on House of Representatives Speaker Aminu Waziri Tambuwal aka AWT to join the 2015 presidential race, I laughed. I laughed because the idea, orchestrated by some people close to the centre of power in Abuja, had been on since November last year and it was plainly to draw Tambuwal into the fray and then leave him in the lurch. And Tambuwal, a smart and suave young man, knows this so well as I do. I know he won’t fall for it. Don’t get me wrong; AWT is eminently qualified for the presidency. Apart from his academic attainment, he has demonstrated good leadership in the way and manner he has been running the affairs of the House and can always ride on that any day for political ascendancy.

APC will surprise a lot of ppl

Leaders of the major opposition parties
across the states of the federation
yesterday said they were taking all
legitimate steps to ensure the success of
the newly formed All Progressive
Congress (APC).
In separate interviews with LEADERSHIP
WEEKEND, the leaders, who included
state and national chieftains of the parties
that formed the APC, said they had placed
national interests above regional and
personal ambitions in mobilising support
for the party.
In Kaduna State, the affected party
chairmen said they were adequately
carried along in all of the processes
leading to the merger. They expressed
optimism that the merger talks would work,
adding that APC’s chances of wrestling
power from the ruling Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) in Nigeria and in the states
were very bright.
The Kaduna State chairman of the Action
Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Mr. Musa
Muhammed Soba, said “the opposition
parties that are making arrangement to
merge into APC held their respective
National Executive Committee (NEC)
meetings where resolutions were passed
in support of the merger. What remain is for
the parties to hold their conventions where
the decision for the merger would be
ratified in accordance with the constitutions
of the respective opposition parties. The
merger is on course and every necessary
sacrifice is needed to make it successful.”
Also, the chairman of the Congress for
Progressive Change (CPC) in the state,
Alhaji Ahmadu Yaro Cocacola, said the
party at the state level was working
assiduously for the success of APC. He
said they were adequately briefed of the
merger arrangement. “We are in support of
all that is being discussed to see to the
reality of the merger,” he said.
The All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) said
the state party was well represented at the
talks.
According to the state party chairman,
Senator Lawal Aliyu, “our party at the
national level is carrying the state along;
the state is being represented in the
committee discussing the issue; the state
chapter is regularly briefed on all
deliberations on the merger.”
In Rivers State, the ACN has said it was
part of the formation of APC and was
liaising with other parties to make impact at
future polls in the state.
The publicity secretary of ACN in the state,
Jerry Needam, told LEADERSHIP
WEEKEND in Port Harcourt that their
involvement in the merger marked the end
of flagrant disregard for the rule of law and
acts of prodigality in the state.
Needam said: “The merger is a welcome
development. It shall entrust political
leadership of Rivers State in the hands of
progressives, God-fearing democrats and
men and women with the highest sense of
frugality with respect to taxpayers’ money.”
In Kwara State, the chairman of ACN, Mr
Kayode Olawepo, said “the merger of the
major opposition parties will radiate to
states at the end of the party’s national
convention. It is at the convention that the
new APC logo, name, flag will be ratified”.
Olawepo, who expressed optimism about
the workability of the merger plan, said “the
PDP’s view of this arrangement
notwithstanding, the merger remains the
best thing that has happened to Nigeria in
recent times”.
The state chairman of ANPP, Alhaji Taiwo
Eleja, said the party at the state level
participated actively in all the
arrangements that led to the merger of the
opposition parties.
“We are very, very much involved in this
merger arrangement. I spoke with my
national chairman last night (Thursday)
and he briefed me on the development so
far as well as on the next line of action”.
The state APC chairman, Alhaji Buhari
Suleiman, said as disciplined members of
the party they have no option but to toe the
line of the party’s national leaders. “All
along, the national secretariat of our party
has been briefing us on the development
and we are all in support of the merger
arrangement,” Suleiman stated.
The situation is the same in Niger State
where the opposition parties said they had
started working together in principle to
confront the PDP in 2015.
The chairman of CPC, Shuaibu Umar, said
that they were duly consulted before the
merger and that it would be made easier in
the state because of the longstanding
working arrangement among the
opposition parties.
The secretary of ACN in the state, Alhaji
Salman Yusuf, disclosed that they were
aware of the merger talks and were carried
along.
He restated that, before the talks, the
parties in the state had been working
together as one body and that the merger
would not pose any problem to the parties.
But, in Edo State, the Accord Party (AP)
has dissociated itself from the merger. It
expressed the fear that the presidential
ambition of some key players in the
alliance, if not well handled, could truncate
their quest to unseat the PDP.
In an exclusive interview with
LEADERSHIP WEEKEND in Benin, the
national secretary of the party, Dr. Samson
Isibor, hinged the decision of the party to
back out of the merger on the need to
strengthen the party, adding that “Accord
Party is new and untainted for the future”.
The state chapters of the CPC, Labour
Party (LP) and the ruling A CN have jointly
expressed sincerity, unity and selflessness
devoid of vaulting ambition that truncated
past attempts at merger.
The chairmen said they were waiting for
further directives from the national merger
committee before taking the next action.
The Katsina State caretaker committee
chairman of the CPC, Faruk Adamu Aliyu,
and his ACN counterpart, Ibrahim
Maidabino, said they were still awaiting the
directive of their national headquarters.
In Oyo State, the ACN said that the merger
of the parties was in fulfilment of the
prophecy of the late sage, Chief Obafemi
Awolowo, while the ANPP noted that APC
had come to stay as “nobody can sabotage
it”.
ACN’s publicity secretary Mr Dauda
Kolawole said that the former premier of
the defunct Western Region (Awolowo)
had predicted that time would come in the
history of the country that progressives
would come together for the benefit of the
country and its people.
The state ANPP chairman, Alhaji Rasak
Folorunso, who said that the party was the
initiator of the merger, said that there was
no going back.
Former governor of Ogun State and
national leader of ACN Chief Olusegun
Osoba said the coming together of the
progressives was not for political reasons
but to salvage the country from drifting
further from the years of the PDP misrule.
Osoba said the soul of the country must be
redeemed from the scavengers.
In Benue State, only the ACN is visible in
the state’s politics. The acting deputy
chairman of ACN, Mr Tersoo Har Orpiin,
said the leadership of the party in the state
was still waiting for the national leadership
for further action.

DPP and 9 other parties to join APC

Having problem in picking which fone to buy between bb 9320 (curve7) and bb 9360 (cuve 4)...so any suggestion?

Abubakar Rimi (gov of old kano state) got 99 years in prison
Tatari Ali (gov of old bauchi state) got 76 yrs
That's just a few I can remember off my head..
So all those claiming buhari treated Norther politicians with kid gloves are liers

Ppl believe too much in paper qualification...off all the fathers of modern countries (Malaysia,singapore,china, nd india) none was a professor or had a phd...

Ppl seem to believe Buharii/Fashola will definitely defeat GEJ in 2015

Sum ppl are just soooo full of hatred

GAR3TH: Exactly, you just proved my point. That APC doesn't care about developing Nigeria, they only seem to care about winning the next election. That is the exact same thing PDP has been doing all these years. They rather go with popularity (buhari)than people who have merits like the other numerous APC members.

My man pls tell us ur prefered candidate (not minding party) with reasons pls

drnoel: No they can do better than that. Buhari and rochas are not the only two people that are in APC. Besides, I don't see Tinubu, the god of Lagos agreeing to that ticket.

So wich ticket do u think is feasible

Nigerians I think wwant an atheist as president cos wat ever u do sum1 will label u as an extremist or attack ur sect no matter wat

GAR3TH: Can someone explain to me how Buhari is even relevant? I can name 10 politicians in APC that will be better candidates to contest than Buhari. I still dont understand why people are shouting Buhari when in reality, compared to the field, he is irrelevant and he's accolades are nonexistent compared to his peers

Its simple he has voters nd he has no single charge of corruption on him...if he can bring 11 mill votes with a party with little or no structure imagine how far he can go...

berem: how many questions are you asking ?your thread question is different from this.

most apc potential voters are undecided nd will mostlikely vote base on the combination of the presidential ticket...therefore the question is will the buhari/rochas ticket draw votes from potential voters (progressives nd undecided)

wesley80: I'd rather vote a Tinubu / Remi Tinubu (Mr & Mrs) ticket. Seriously.

So tell us ur prefered combo

Its meant only for APC supporters and undecided nigerians

If u support APC nd planing to vote for them will buhari/rochas make u campaing more?

Pls mr era of india nd china...find out how old the leaders of china nd india are before rubbishing mr Buhari...

BREAKING NEWS!!!!Following the Merger of. ACN, CPC, ANPP and APGA..... PDP has announced its Merger with INEC

BREAKING NEWS!!!!Following the Merger of ACN, CPC, ANPP and APGA..... PDP has announced its Merger with INEC

CBT is suppose to be optional bt at the moment there is no centres in kano nd kaduna for paper jamb nd prof ojirende has refuse to open more centers claimin dat ppl most go for CBT by force...almost 2000 potential candidates protested in kano due to lack of centers...for those that will start shouting hausas can't use computers.. In the whole of Nigeria 4000 registered out of the targeted 1.6million

Mega party
