I hope that we will get a response from APC before I put this on the front page. If not, then they can post their response on a new thread.

Let me shock you son...... I'm the Only One That Can Defeat PDP, Says Okorocha

activatenigeria:
You wish, APC, pure Democrats? say something else joor....... APC is just a bunch of Power Obsessed individuals that will do anything to get power, in case you haven't heard another supposed Progressive , Rochas Okorocha AKA Show Boy, said APC would lose the election woefully if the party refuses to field him as its presidential standard bearer against the PDP... he said so many negative things about his own party........another huge APC crisis budding.....we are waiting......like i always say APC is a disaster that is about to happen.

Imposition of candidates is d problem we are hvin in Enugu state, How can a seating governor want to impose his babe(Ifeoma Nwobodo) a married woman for that mata on all of us? Chime wants to be a senator but its common sense for him to hand over the seat of government in d state to The Deputy Senate president and take over as a senator but he refuse and wants that seat for him self and also the seat of Senator Gilbert for his babe(Mrs.Ifeoma Nwobodo), someone shld tell my Governor to choose his war correctly and trying to fight everyone at all front will lead him to fail which has started.

Udehpaschal1:
what has patience got to do with this now?

Udehpaschal1:
The presidency Patience should chip into this before it gets out of hand!

egift:
I heard his faction did not even see the Result Sheets. Enugu has a tendency to turn our backs on Ex-Governor. Chime did well, I don't know why he want to impose so many candidates as well. If the current Congress result should stand, the only way to be elected as a PDP Candidate is to stay away from Chime.

abacrested:
Fools,that has always been the traditional way of organising elections in abia since 1999 and this men are the architect of it,mow it has come to hunt them.

size38:
Governor Rotimi Amaechi has finally been vindicated. When Amaechi was shouting about the character of the first lady and GEJ towards him Amaechi, and Rivers state in Particular, these people shouting today were tongue lashing governor Amaechi, calling him names and abusing him because of sentiment and GEJ's ambition. But today, GEJ and his wife have given them a shocker which Amaechi never did to them. " Had I known always come at last". This is a bitter experience they will never forget in a hurry. In APC i remain. In Amaechi I believe.

ichidodo:
[color=#1980BC] How can you post topic and be first to comment?! Anyway...The PDP like any other organisation will always have internal clashes but the beauty of their brand of democracy is their ability to present a united front during elections... [/color]

apc cousin troubl in PDP

barcanista:
Serves them right, especially Prince Tonye Princewill... They better defect to APC to add to APC's vote or defect to different parties to split the meagre PDP votes . I can't wait to see PDP come 4th in the election.

mikeansy:
for me what I see here is failure of politics and lack of common sense or maturity on the part of people who call themselves our leaders!

Tambuwal is first a House of Rep member before he is a Speaker, just as David Mark is a Senator before he is Senate President. They are bound by all rules that apply to any Legislator in the country! This truth is why every 4years they still have to go back to their constituents and ask to be elected to NASS just like any other legislator. But as custodians of the law then did the crafters of our constitution would have thought that Speakers and Senate Presidents will be grown up enough to do the right thing and apply the very same rules they will apply to other colleague should such eventuality arise?

Was the constitution and its crafters thinking too highly of the average Nigerian politician? It seems to me that this is actually the real issue here. The stubborn refusal of Tambuwal to do what is right but instead seeking and inventing all loopholes to circumvent the very constitution he was elected to strengthen and defend.

No Constitution of any country of the world will ever cover every eventuality. No book or computer will be large enough to cover the sections of such a constitution.

What this moment calls from us is to be alert and say the truth to Tambuwal. Which he should do the right thing, save himself and the Nation the embarrassment, do the right thing and just resign.

He has already adjourned for an unsual 1 month eventhough the house has only recently returned from a 2 months recess. This man is toying with an institution as important as the 2nd arm of government and a position as important as the 4th ranking officer in the country. He should not be allowed to invent unexistent loopholes but instead told in clear terms to do the right thing and resign.

Failing that the court should be asked to clarify!!!!
