The only names submitted are for Presidential and National Assembly Elections.


November 2, is the deadline for Governorship and State House of Assembly.

Awol1:
Fake news.

Okorocha wants someone who will cover his mess. So I doubt he will backtrack.

Besides, names have already been submitted to INEC.

Two different people...

Two people can have the same name.

There's a colleague of mine "Atiku Abubakar", does that make him the former Vice President or the PDP presidential candidate?

Blue3k:

OK

Is IPOB no longer standing on *NO LEFELENDUM NO ERECTION* ?

chairman00100:
the only true leaders known in the east and biafra is IPOB, and nit the so called govs, and in reality IPOB will want buhari to continue because they believe that buhari is the shortest and easiest to achieving biafra, because he is very very dumb and predictable, and all his actions show it especially against the igbos, we in this parts know that tge govs are on their own and working for themselves, and if atiku change obi now we know that whoever he brings in is for the govs and the so called "leaders" and if he chooses from another region we already know why and from what is happening right now if he continues with obi it is because obi have agreed with their condition which is not for the man on the street, that none of these persons have asked where nnamdi kanu is till now and still think we have their backs makes them looks more and more stupid, l want to believe that their masters up north also know that persons like umahi is not going to tell us what to do

You and the people who liked/shared your post need to visit a psychiatrist.

2019 elections won't even see 50% voter turnout.

Donmedrac:
80 million people will vote right?

APC already have 15 million votes plus 10 million during 2019=25 million vote..

25-80=55 million..

Atiku of pdp will win Buhari of Apc

Atiku=55 million
Buhari=25 million

NWC sends a committee to every state that conducts primaries, not party chairmen.

NEXT!

wingmanII:


The court will decide if Amachree is the authentic state chairman who should conduct the primaries.

Are you in Rivers State? So those of us who live there aren't real life enough to understand what is going on?

Umueme:

If elections are to hold this month, Wike will find it difficult to win. Hopefully, he can make amends with the 4months left to election.


Must you quote after seeing 'what do i know' in my post? But yet again elections are won in real life and not on Nairaland unless GEJ would still be in power

#MyOpinion

Victor Giadom is not popular?

Are you sure you've been to Ogoni land?

EVILFOREST:
He has Killed himself unilaterally.
In RIVERS that I know.
In fact he is completely finished.
An UNPOPULAR MAN, choosing an UNPOPULAR deputy in an UNPOPULAR setting.
He may not come 3rd if care is not taken.
No MATTER the power of Rigging, elections are always about choosing sellable candidates

What do you know about Rivers Politics

Wike wey him boys dey vex for? Imposing unpopular candidates left, right and center? Even a former Speaker of HOA from Okrika was denied ticket on Wike's instruction.

If elections are to hold this month, Wike will find it difficult to win. Hopefully, he can make amends with the 4months left to election.

Umueme:
Wike this election na walkthrough for you...
*in Salahs voice*
'you will never walk alone'

But what do i know...

If you're Atiku, and you become president, will you truly want a Saraki as your senate president

The way the delegates voted should tell you something!

CROWNWEALTH019:

2019 we going to bring him back as the president of the senate cause we going to be majority

Is there any Southerner among the aspirants?

Slimmacho:
Reports reaching us confirms that two Northern Aspirants in the PDP primary elections this morning have stepped down to increase the chances of a Northerner clinching the Presidential Ticket of the PDP.
These Two Candidates will be announced before election commences today.

EXCLUSIVE: David Mark, Lamido, Dankwambo To Step Down For Tambuwal ‘Within 48 Hours’_ Sahara Reporters.

High-wire, last-minute political horse-trading is likely to see at least three Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirants step down for Aminu Tambuwal, Governor of Sokoto State, SaharaReporters has been told.

Tambuwal is favourite to clinch the ticket, as he has the backing of Nyesom WIke, Governor of Rivers State, who is currently the party’s biggest financier.

The Tambuwal group is said to be pushing, and has made considerable progress, for the withdrawal of Sule Lamido, former Governor of Jigawa State and former Foreign Affairs Minister; David Mark, former Senate President, Niger State Governor and Communications Minister; and Ibrahim Dankwambo, the outgoing Governor of Gombe State, from the race to support the former House of Representatives Spesker.

“The Tambuwal camp has been able to reach out to some of the aspirants,” said a source very familiar with ongoing 59th-minute-of-the-eleventh hour meetings.

“They have been able to get David Mark, Lamido, Dankwambo to step down for Tambuwal between today and at the convention ground tomorrow. For now that is the plan.

“They are also trying to work with Kwanwaso but he has not given them any positive response for now. They are working on Ahmed Makarfi as well.”

However, according to the source, the proposed withdrawal of these aspirants is only part of a larger scheme to ensure Tambuwal emerges winner at all costs. The main scheme, he says, is to tamper with the delegates list.

“There is a process of selecting delegates across the states. For states where they have loyalists, and for states where they have governors who dance to the tune of Wike, they are trying to manufacture some delegates.

“You have statutory delegates, automatic delegates. Automatic delegates are the EXCO members, statutory delegates are former governors, former deputy governors and members of the House of Assembly and so on, while there are also delegates from the local governments. Now, most aspirants don’t know who is who across the states, since they’re coming from the national level.

“So what they did was that they put two, three up to 10 names that are a bit shady on the final delegates list; you cannot trace them as members of the House of Assembly, you cannot trace them as Local Government EXCO. For example, for states where they have 10 members of the House of Assembly that are members of PDP, they tried to make it 15 or 20. And it’s a total of around 700 that, if push comes to shove, they would use for Tambuwal as guaranteed delegates.

“But they are also doing that to justify the shady delegates list they’re preparing. If these guys step down, it will look to the people as though the supporters of these aspirants were the ones who voted for Tambuwal.”

When contacted, Simeon Nwakaudu, Tambuwal's spokesman, declined to react.

Racoon:
Of course the one with the official APC letterhead. Rochas is desperate in his iberiberism.

So why didn't Magnus Abe and co vote in the Presidential Primaries? The presidential primaries was Direct Primaries, yet him and his faction did not vote, why?

Famzer:
As a neutral observer,I think this direct and indirect primaries thing is suddenly revealing who the real politicians with the backing of the majority of party members are.
I still consider it very strange that it's a former state governor who is avoiding direct primaries. I just don't get it. Earlier I thought it was even Magnus Abe that was insisting on direct until I saw that video of his declaration.
I think the national APC should go for direct primaries,especially in Rivers state and Kaduna.

In other words, Magnus must have his way or no one else will

Just 2 questions:

1. Was it direct or indirect primaries Magnus used in emerging as APC's Senatorial candidate in the 2014 Primaries


2. Which register was used to conduct the direct primaries Magnus Abe claims to have won today


PS: Senator Dave and I are two different people.

Famzer:

It seems that the pro-Amaechi group is the OP and same person commenting. If I am to go with the statement of Senator Magnus Abe on Channels TV while addressing a mammoth crowd that attended his declaration,then APC is unjust and this kind of divisive primary will destroy the chances of APC in Rivers state. I don't know why APC can't stick to direct primaries like it did to other states in similar situations like Rivers APC.
Magnus Abe has declared that he won't be part of the primary if it is indirect and I believe that he didn't participate in this primary has earlier stated by him on Channels TV

The NWC approved only ONE mode of Primaries for Rivers APC and that is Indirect Primaries...

The team led by Lawal Jafaru Isa (who also served as Returning Officer) conducted the authentic primary and this was monitored by INEC and security agents.

Magnus Abe can tell us who conducted his own primary.

Awol1:
So a whole Magnus Abe got 1 vote? And you want me to believe it was a fair process?

BTW, was there parallel primaries in Rivers this one we are getting conflicting reports?

Arc. Tonye Dele Cole has emerged as the Governorship candidate of the Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC)...

Below is a breakdown of how the delegates voted in the indirect primary:


Senator Magnus Ngie Abe - 1
Dr. Dawari George - 491
Dumo Lulu-Briggs - 38
Arc. Tonye Dele Cole - 3,329

Sen. Adeleke claims to be a graduate of Jacksonville State University US, and graduated before turning 30. I hope he has served and has an NYSC certificate?

Senator Ademola Adeleke claims to be a graduate of Jackson State University, I hope he has done NYSC? Abi it's not compulsory for him?
