The presidential ticket will go to either Atiku or Saraki.

If Atiku get it, it will pose high pressure on Buhari to win in 2019 because substantial votes from the Northern part which used to be decider will go to Atiku. South -South and South-East are likely to favour Atiku but South - West will preferred Buhari. It may be tough for buhari but he will narrowly win Atiku comes 2019 General Election.

If Saraki get the ticket, other northern aspirants will rather support Buhari than Saraki. Buhari will find it easy to defeat Saraki. Northerner will prefer Buhari to Saraki because Saraki is not from core north, in fact Saraki is more of Yoruba. South - South and South - East will vote for Saraki in mass but no amount of vote he could get from that region can safe him from vote margin he might have suffered from the core north. South - West vote is most likely to favour Buhari.

As it is now, I doubt seeing PDP taking over power in 2019.

Truth be told.

..... the way I have being searching for the convention update tread on my laptop

.........interestingly observing how it goes.

Nawa ooo for Nigeria politicians and their desperation, you are in APC and went to collect PDP nomination form, PDP also sold nomination form to him without challenging his membership.

If the election is not rigged, it could be true, because as it is at the moment, Omisore is the most popular candidate. I live in Osogbo.

Yes. He is most popular candidate because "customer daada ni"

After the election, he come out to tell us that something changed the result of the election against his prediction overnight.

These are five true reasons why he burried his presidential ambition
1. His party losses in Ekiti governorship election is a bad sign for him that he is not popular.
2. His party losses in Ekiti Election means that he can not get funds from Ekiti State treasury to finance the campaign.
3. He was convinced that his chance of getting presidential ticket does not exist with the number of more popular member of his party vying for the ticket.
4. He was awared that all those senseless stunts he had done will be raised against him.
5. He was awared that with the look of things, PMB has bright chance of being re-elected

Patiently waiting for who is going to reconcile Atiku, Saraki, Tambua, kwankanso etc after the PDP primary

But oyinbo mumu sha after many cases dem still dey fall

I'm tired for them ooo. Imagine, I learnt of a secondary school student scammed Oyinbo.

Modified; The only candidate that can give Buhari soft victory is Bukola Saraki.
He is only known in Kwara State. Northerners will prefer any other candidate from the north to him. Infact south - west did not know him. If he have all the vote for other souths, it will not take him to any where.

OEPHIUS:
There is a consensus that President Buhari’s administration has failed but what bothers the minds of millions of dissatisfied Nigerian citizens remain which politician can displace Buhari given his political base. There is no gainsaying that the Buhari government has shown its incompetence in handling issues. It is pertinent to note that at the celebrated meeting of Buhari with President Trump of the United States, he was reportedly dismissed as lifeless by Trump, a reference which is a bitter truth which summarizes the entire leadership of his administration. If the president of the United States, the leader of the free world and most powerful man in the world adjudged the president of Nigeria as lifeless, it calls for deep introspection and sober reflection.


Consequently, the two major political parties that would most likely produce the next president of Nigeria are the PDP and APC. In recent times the PDP has had its political fortunes enhanced by the defection of prominent members of APC who moved from the PDP prior to the 2015 elections. Comparatively, it has a pool of candidates who possess the leadership acumen to unseat Mr Buhari and has gone into a coalition known as the Coalition of Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) to wrestle power from the APC. It is no gainsaying to unambiguously propose that PDP has a better chance of winning the presidential election in 2019 than APC but its choice of presidential candidate is a crucial variable in this political permutation.


Without doubt in the PDP, the battle is between Saraki and Atiku; and for the PDP and APC, it is Saraki or Atiku versus Buhari. However, the Senate president embodies a fresh perspective to leadership, which is imperative at this juncture in the journey to development of Nigeria and set it on the path of progress. He has tagged his campaign #GrowNigeria. And I intend to advance the premise on which I believe Saraki appears most likely to be at the helm of affairs of Nigeria in 2019 with a victory in the presidential elections provided the PDP gives him the ticket.



At the level of state government politics, as a politician with conscience, he opposed his father’s decision for his sister Rukiyat to succeed him as governor. That singular act endeared him to the people of his state who rewarded him with their votes as he was elected a senator after serving two terms as governor. Dr Saraki is accorded recognition as the father of modern governance in Kwara State given his type of politics which is devoid of rancor and acrimony.
Based on a PPP model with 13 large scale Zimbabwean farmers, the Shonga Farms project was initiated and today is a major supplier to Nigerian Starch Mills Limited, WAMCO, Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) and Shoprite stores.


On education, HE Saraki established Kwara State University (KWASU) a state-owned university which did not exist despite Kwara being one of the oldest states in Nigeria. Saraki’s leadership envisioned an egalitarian Kwara state where citizens are educated to the highest level.
In furtherance of that grand goal, the Ilorin Aviation School is one of the laudable projects initiated and completed by his administration which afforded indigenes of the state to acquire high tech knowledge in aviation.


To be vindicated in his area of education as a medical doctor, he established Kwara Advanced Ultramodern Diagnosis Centre. On the nagging issue of electricity, the Ganmo Power Generation Plant, hundreds of ordinary power substations and some injection Substations were built.
On the national scene, the victory of the APC in the National Assembly and presidency brought yet another era of insight to the political enigma and colossus Saraki is. The election of the opposition to the presidency instead of unifying the opposition threw up a leadership tussle, which required a great deal of wisdom and maturity to handle.


He brought coalition politics into the senate where he made concession to the opposition party PDP, garnered their block votes, with some loyal APC senators, he was elected the Senate president. Nigerians were relieved. The PDP which was wallowing in bitter election defeat heaved a sigh of relief while the South East which was almost schemed out in this dispensation got a top position in Senator Ike Ekweremadu as Deputy Senate (PDP) and it helped quell dissenting voices. It is no gainsaying to call HE Saraki the unifier, a bridge builder and a man who radiates the true meaning of one Nigeria.


The 8th Senate under HE Saraki has been the most successful of the fourth republic with groundbreaking bills and amendments passed while working harmoniously with all and sundry to ensure that our democracy is protected.
The Senate under Saraki has passed over 200 bills in all facets of Nigeria as a country such as the Petroleum Industry Governance Bill (PIGB) and Electoral Amendment Bill. Specifically, as at its 3rd anniversary, on June 9, 2015, it passed 213 bills, cleared 138 petitions from members of the public.


In all the consternations, which have simmered in recent times, he has emerged as the face of democracy recognized by world powers most recently, UK and European Union during the recent siege by Nigeria’s Secret Service on the National Assembly. After the recent siege on the Senate, he addressed a world press conference to assure the rest of the world that Nigeria is still committed to democracy and rule of law despite cynical forces that are bent on torpedoing progress.


Dr Saraki is the link between the old and the new generation. He best captures the aspirations of millennials and is an embodiment of modern governance. Nigerians are disillusioned with the current administration but what is missing is the linkage who will harness and galvanize the dreams of many most Nigerians to actualize a progressive country.


He was instrumental in ensuring the #NotTooYoungToRun bill which lowers the age for several elective positions was passed into law. He is Youth eccentric, one of his major trademarks.
The other two leading candidates, Atiku, PDP (71) and Buhari, APC (75) are septuagenarians and the desire for a paradigm shift for fresh leadership has never been more than today. Saraki will be 56 in 2019 and fits into the picture Nigerians desire.


One argument President Buhari’s supporters advance is Buhari’s experience but that experience is tainted by involvement in military juntas one of which he headed in the 80s which affected his views of democracy. In clear contrast, Dr Saraki is accomplished, having been a governor for 8 years, Senator for 8 years, Senate president for 3.5 years Rule of Law. Dr Saraki is his direct opposite who has continued to uphold the Rule of Law and advocates deepening democracy. Dr Saraki’s sterling leadership at the NASS gives credence.


Dr Saraki’s acceptability across the length and breadth of Nigeria, across geopolitical zones and ethnic groups as seen from his consultations with prominent personalities and visits to several states where the masses have trooped out to welcome him. Despite the barrage of attacks on his personality, ordinary Nigerians are aware of his contribution to advancing democracy and progress of the country.

They mean because of Kanu (RIP)?

We understand the kind of internal politics they are playing. Saraki knows that his chance of getting ticket is very slim, on that day, he will just declare himself stepping down for Atiku to boost Atiku vote.

wolesmile:
They will tell us to go through the stress of registration because they want us to believe our PVC is our power. They tell us to come out and vote because, according to them, "Our votes count." But do they really count our votes?


Thank God I no dey register, because I no dey vote!!

You are complaining of bad governance and you are not contributing your effort to join people that are ready to improve the situations. The solutions to the problems of this nation can only be solve collectively. You are not doing the country good by not exercising your civil right. It is only when you vote that you will have gut to defend it to make it count. Please resister and parttake in choosing credible candidate. #thevotemustcount!

Great Op! Unfortunately, you hardly see many people serious with this kind of thread

I don't get it. Is prostitution a legal deal for the case to be charged to the court of law? The buyer and seller are guilty of illegal dealing.

Ehn.......... Even those who do exercise regularly slump and die. May god help us.

Defection of Senators and Reps
Celebration hits Kano as they Chant “from Daura you came and back to Daura shall you go” with his plane carried on top of a Tipper..

Kano House of Assembly entirely defected immediately they heard of Kwankwaso’s defection, including the speaker.

Another lie from the pit of hell. Continue deceiving yourself and your like mind thinkers.

sophsia62:
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly matters (Senate), Ita Enang has stated that some Senators of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) that defected to PDP on Tuesday merely expressed their grievances to get attention, revealing that some of them have returned.

Briefing newsmen on Friday in Abuja, Enang said, some decampee Senators who met with President Buhari Wednesday night said, they did not have issues with President Muhammadu Buhari, but with their respective governors.

Though, he declined to mention names of Senators who have returned and their numbers after the meeting with Mr President yesterday night, Enang said, those who could not make it due to short notice would meet with Buhari over the weekend.


According to him, the so called defection that happened on Tuesday ran short of procedures of defections, stating that they did that to create a way for reconciliation over domestic issues they have with their governors.

“Senators by virtue of procedures have not fully defected yet. There is still room for reconciliation.”

Their grievances and complaints were not directed at Muhammadu Buhari, but against their governors over domestic issues. States like Kaduna, Kogi, Kano, Zamfara have issues with their governors over party structures. ”


Ita Enang said, those Senators who defected told President Buhari that they would campaign for him in 2019 even if they were contesting on the platforms of another party.

“Some of the Senators who defected were in the meeting throughout the night and some have returned, while others who were not there because of short notice would meet with Mr. President over the weekend”, he insisted.

“I am not going to call names of those that have come back. It’s betrayal doing that, but I assure you that some have returned”, he said.

Why are these Senators taking us for fun? Dem dey mad?

activistjohnny:
election is over for God's sake. what is the security operatives and the military still doing in ekiti state by now. for God's sake, we are not in the military era. army ought to have leave since yesterday night. what are they still doing in ekiti state. now ekiti state is under siege. please is this democracy hmmm?

Lessons should be learnt from the past, post election crisis should be properly prevented. There will always be grievances from losers, the legal actions should be adopted to resolve it, not through violence. Careless handling of security issues may lead to destruction of life and properties.

Esseite:
Buhari - NE/NW/SW above 50% except SW btw 40/50
Sowore - SW only less than 20%
Moghalu - SE only above 20%
Dankwabo - NC/NE/NW less than 30%
Atiku -NE/NW/SW less than 40% SS/SE/NC - abv 50%
Duke - SS/SW only less than 30% except SW less than 10%
Fumilayo - SW only less than 10%
Fela - SW only less than 20%
Kwankwaso - NE/NW only less than 30%

Atiku may just be the best contender more so if the others endorse him.

25th June, 2018 PRESS RELEASE: CHRISTIAN ELDERS FORUM RELIVING DON QUIXOTE – MURIC The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has compared the National Christian Elders Forum (NCEF) to Don Quixote, Don Quixote, a legendary knight who fought...more

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has compared the National Christian Elders Forum (NCEF) to Don Quixote, Don Quixote, a legendary knight who fought imaginary foes on a non-existent battle field. Don Quixote was the creation of Miguel de Cervantes in his novel entitled Don Quixote which was published in two parts in 1605 and 1615.

It will be recalled that NCEF, under the chairmanship of Solomon Asemota SAN, made several allegations at a press conference held in Abuja on Friday 22nd June, 2018.

The group accused the Buhari administration of embarking on stealth jihad because all its June 12 awardees (Chief M. K. O. Abiola, Baba Gana Kingibe and Chief Gani Fawehinmi) were Muslims “ostensibly to swell the ranks of Muslims in the roll call of these awards.”

NCEF also alleged that “EFCC is becoming the prosecuting arm of the Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI)”; that “the 1975 coup (and other preceding coups), were jihad, promoted for the Islamization of Nigeria for Sharia to replace democracy”; that “the current Federal Government in Nigeria is openly pursuing an anti-Christian agenda that has resulted in countless murders of Christians…” and that “The present generation of Christians in Nigeria may cease to exist in 25 years from now (2043), beginning from 2018” due to incessant killings.

But in a reaction signed by the director of the organization, Professor Ishaq Akintola, MURIC held that it could not resist laughing at these allegations. “They are all baseless, unfounded and ridiculous. They exist only in the figment of NCEF’s imagination. These allegations are symptomatic of intellectual poverty and desertification of thinking faculty. NCEF is reliving Don Quixote. MURIC is laughing in Latin.”

Continuing, the Islamic human rights organization said, “We are constrained to ask if we need to conduct an all-encompassing examination of medical fitness for religious leaders in Nigeria. How can anyone just jump to the conclusion that the present administration which merely yielded to persistent agitations over the June 12 saga was engaging in jihad because all the June 12 awardees are Muslims.

“NCEF has deliberately and most wickedly twisted a coincidence to whip up gymnastic religiousity. The group also goofed by saying that Abiola was not a Sunni Muslim. How much of Abiola’s Islam do they know? This claim amounts to desecration of the dead.”

MURIC pointedly denied any connection between JNI and EFCC. “How could there be a connection between the Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) and EFCC?” It querried. “Was it not Obasanjo who established the EFCC? The last time we checked, Obasanjo had not made up his mind to become a Muslim. NCEF’s imagination is running wild. Nigerians should not be surprised if by tomorrow NCEF claims that the Saudi king is plotting to become the next American president in order to Islamise the whole West.

“If Nigerian Muslims have never claimed that the January 15, 1966 coup was an attempt at Christianising the country, how can NCEF, in its rational moment (which of course is very rare), claim that the 1975 coup was a jihad?”

Akintola argued that facts on ground also rubbish NCEF’s allegation that the Buhari administration is pursuing an anti-Christian agenda. According to him, “Christians have more cabinet positions in this regime. Christians and Muslims have 18 ministers each but both the Secretary to the Government of the Federation as well as the Head of Service are Christians. This gives Christians 20 positions while Muslims remain 18. Yet Muslims have not started complaining. NCEF needs to check its mathematical expertise. 18 cannot be higher than 20. NCEF’s vituperations are portraying Nigerian Christians in bad light and that is to say the least.”

The Islamic group also contends that the large number of Muslim casualties in the ongoing killings has belied NCEF’s claim of the killing of Christians. “It has been established beyond any reasonable doubt that more Muslims have fallen victims and the number of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) which has risen above 1.5 million Muslims has further cemented this position. Therefore, NCEF is merely crying wolf where none exists with its allegation that the present generation of Christians in Nigeria may cease to exist in 25 years from now.

“One of the most wicked claims of NCEF is that only Christians are being haunted and jailed by EFCC. Col. Sambo Dasuki has been in detention for almost three years. Did NCEF hear of any claim from JNI or from the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) that a Muslim is being persecuted? What of the former governors of Niger and Jigawa states? Are they not Muslims and have they not fallen under EFCC axe?

“These allegations are as ridiculous as saying that Buhari is Islamising the Green Eagles and that was why he strategically placed Ahmed Musa in Iceland’s eighteen to score two goals for Nigeria in the ongoing World Cup in Russia. NCEF pontifications can also be likened to declaring that although his predecessor returned a meager N50 million in seven years, Professor Ishaq Oloyede as JAMB registrar returned a mind-boggling N7.8 billion naira to the Federal Government (FG) in order to Islamise the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB). Not to be left out of the Islamisation race, Hameed Ali fetched FG a record N1 trillion from Customs in 2017 alone.”

MURIC said it could not help wondering why NCEF must demonise performers. “Why must excellence be sacrificed on the altar of mediocrity? Who stopped Obasanjo from Christianising Nigeria by giving us light instead of darkness for our $26 billion? Why didn’t Jonathan Christianise this country by treating stealing as corruption?”

Akintola maintained that President Muhammadu Buhari, Professor Ishaq Oloyede and Hameed Ali have become reference points in integrity. “Religion and other sentiments apart, Nigerians see them as models. These three men have set standards, not for religion or for Muslims alone, but for all Nigerians and their successors will have a moral burden on their consciences if they perform below them particularly in the areas of probity and accountability.”

MURIC blamed Christian elders forum for yielding to perception. “Apart from deliberate mischief, perception appears to be NCEF’s major undoing, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) therefore needs urgent re-engineering of the perception of its flock. In particular CAN should fumigate its immediate environment in order to rid it of this notorious NCEF Islamisation virus. CAN should also beware of dissidence in the body of Christ in Nigeria as we suspect open rebellion in NCEF’s statement. CAN is therefore advised to call NCEF to order.

“As we round off, MURIC urges NCEF to allow excellence to determine rewards, not mediocrity. We should let integrity supplant mediocrity as the criterion and accept credibility as the yardstick instead of ethnicity while antecedence replaces religion and all other primordial sentiments. We should liberalise our thinking, Nigerianise our orientation and stop seeing religious colouring in everything. As at today, NCEF is living in the land of fantasy with its quixotic disposition. The earlier it faces reality, the better.”

Which one is NCEF again? Misplacement of priority, finding issue where it wasn't exist just to seek attention.
