Like how? The fact APGA is an appendage of PDP doesn't mean ACN must also be.
Which law says all south must support a southern president? Even in the north states Like Benue, Taraba, Plateau often broke ranks from core north states.
That's politics boy.

MANDIPUTIN:
AS president in 2011, Goodluck Jonathan did all he could to ensure South West grabbed the country’s number four seat, including lobbying then opposition leaders from the zone, to no avail. The North West eventually grabbed the seat, supported by South West leaders in opposition to then ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). 

Former Governor of Osun State and now statesman, Chief Bisi Akande, made this revelation in his autobiography, “My Participations” which is currently dominating political and national dis- course. 

Aminu Tambuwal, now Sokoto State governor, won the seat, against the preferred pick of his party, Mrs Mulikat Adeola Akande, from the South-West. Defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, then a fledging opposition, which had Akande and his soulmate, former Lagos State governor, Senator Bola Tinubu, as front- line leaders, openly asked its elected members of the House of Representatives, mostly from the South-West, to work against their region and back Tambuwal from North-West. 

The opposition party’s support carried Tambuwal through the contest against Akande, then ruling party’s favourite for the speakership seat.

In his book, Chief Akande revealed that former president then as incumbent, personally reached out to Tinubu, who is now believed to be nursing presidential aspiration in 2023 and himself, but couldn’t convince them. 

He wrote, “President Jonathan, immediately after the meeting (with political parties), called Bola Tinubu aside into a lobby to broach the matter of ACN support for a choice of who would become the Speaker of the House of Representatives. 

“That same day, President Jonathan talked to me on phone about the same matter. He disclosed that PDP had zoned the position to the South-West but that only one Muraina and another Mulika won elections on PDP ticket from the zone into the House of Representatives. 

“I quickly reminded him that, as at (sic) that date in the United States of America, while the Democrats produced the Senate President, the Republicans (the opposition) produced the Speaker of the House of Representatives. I boasted that ACN was capable of suggesting to him ten names of members from the South West from among whom to choose if PDP would be magnanimous enough to practice democracy the way it was being practised in the USA, from where we imported our presidential system. 

“He seemed pissed off and stopped the conversation,” he said.

In the era being referenced by the former national chairman of the defunct opposition party, the controlling party in each of the chambers of the Congress in the United States was in the majority, which wasn’t the case with ACN when the Ila-born politician was making his claim.

He also revealed in the book that their political platforms had their sight on working against the then ruling party. 

“In the aftermath of the 2011 elections, many of our people were dissatisfied. Under the PDP, our country has become thoroughly decadent. Those of us who saw the then ruling party as an extension of the military corrupt politics preferred to work with all the major opposition parties which would eventually lead to a merger if we were to uproot the entrenched PDP and its evil tendencies. The first party that came to mind was the CPC which like us, was resolutely opposed to the PDP. 

“Immediately after the elections, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila led a team of ACN boys to Bola Tinubu and me to suggest support for Hon. Aminu Tambuwal, a PDP member from Sokoto, to become the Speaker of the House of Representatives. 

In the meantime, President Goodluck Jonathan was pressing for a government of national unity, with a bid of sucking ACN into manipulative extinction.” 

Another major revelation from the book is the involvement of a former National Security Adviser and a Sokoto prince, Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd) in the presidential project of now President Muhammadu Buhari preparatory to the 2011 presidential election against then incumbent Jonathan. 

Jonathan defeated Buhari in the contest, before Buhari triumphed in their replay in 2015. 

Interestingly, Dasuki would go on to become Jonathan’s most senior security adviser, but also ended up spending 1,484 days in detention, while being prosecuted by the Buhari administration, for alleged corruption while serving in the Jonathan administration. 

He was eventually released on December 24, 2019, after many court orders for his released had been spurned by the administration. He was accused of siphoning fund meant for arms to fight insurgency in the North-East. 

The author, however, paid the embattled former security chief compliments for his role in facilitating a merger between ACN and CPC in the build-up to the 2011 poll, to defeat Jonathan. 

He said, “The reaction of CPC to this letter (to CPC from ACN and published on the same page), began the failed negotiation between ACN and CPC which attracted further intervention by some national leaders like General Babangida, Atiku Abubakar and others. 

“This eventually crashed at the threshold of the 2011 presidential elections which President Jonathan of the PDP won again. 

“The efforts of the former National Security Adviser– Colonel Sambo Dasuki is worth mentioning in this political bridge-building attempt between ACN and CPC. Dasuki was then in support of Buhari becoming the presidential candidate of the alliance. 

“Sambo Dasuki was coming around, begging us, to support Buhari’s presidential aspiration. Nuhu Ribadu, whom we had earlier chosen as our presidential candidate in the ACN, said he was ready to step down for Buhari. He said when he accepted to run, he did not know that Buhari was also interested in running.”

Who is Mulikat? What does she look like who knows her?
In 1979 Azikiwe did a deal with Shagari to give the Party of Azikiwe the NPP the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the sky did not fall

GEJ thought he was being clever with the Mulikat offer.

A Greek gift

from a region where you have very few few members in the minority you want to choose Speaker. A s Speaker from the SW who would not be a leader of the other representatives from the region.?
Una get sense no be small
Your party was not popular in the SW and you have to do politics the right way.


Why should ACN politicians support Mulikat so she can kill their party? What is the gain of ACN
Jonathan was given the opportunity to give ACN the Speakership and refused

Shagari did this for Ume-Ezeoke in 1979

GEJ marginalised the SW and was performing terribly.

He performed woefully in every areas.

He was kicked out by the APC in 2015, since then you have been wailing and wailing

DubaiLandLord1:
The ACN was playing Politics. Today, a Yoruba man is your VP since 2015 and another Yoruba man is your Speaker since 2015.

A Yoruba Man will likely be your president again in 2023.

You're a little confused..
One moment you are talking about the peculiar habits obtainable in Nigerias politics. Next minute, you are talking about Nigerias politics as if it's the most effective and the best organized. A president can't dictate his party chairman in Nigeria!? You mean to say that you can impose a candidate that Buhari detests on APC? You sure you have been to Nigeria before?

Rugaria:
That's if you believe that Dasuki was actually jailed..
But what do you know?
Few days ago, you were told by Bode Gorge that the former PDP Chairman under Jonathan, who was also a former governor of Bauchi state, Muazu, ran away from the country few days to the elections! That's the party chairman, running away from an election he was leading! You think that was a coincidence? Naive you..

talktimi:
Then Tinubu and his urchins went to town with the story that GEJ "marginalised" the SW while the fact is that the so called Yoruba leader was ready to cut off his nose just to spite his face. It's a shame that so called sophisticated folks couldn't leave amala joint gossips for a minute to question the words of their selfish leaders, we told them the truth but they refused to listen. Thank God Chief Akande himself has revealed the truth

EraseTheDot:
Stop grandstanding. Can't you read. Why was Jonathan reaching out to Tinubu & Pa Akanda for a candidate in PDP when he could have asked them for a candidate in ACN. They very well saw through his manipulation.

In the meantime, President Goodluck Jonathan was pressing for a government of national unity, with a bid of sucking ACN into manipulative extinction.”

Eastlink:
I acknowledge the Yoruba’s for their political sophistication (whether you call it tribal politics na u sabi). According to Chief Akande, GEJ called him to seek help with names of SW PDP nominees presented to the party for Speakership. Akande notified GEJ to instead allow them the ACN produce the Speaker of the House as was done in the US, where the opposition participate in governance but the President switched off the call.

Ndigbo on Nairaland politics section what did you learn from this tale? Interest! Political & ethnic interest. The SW ACN supported Tambuwal because it will benefit their long-term plan of promoting the agenda that GEJ marginalized the SW so they can get to the centre with Tinubu and co at the helms of affairs instead of Obasanjo running the show.

Under GEJ, Ndigbo played politics of no identity, anywhere-belle-face and chop-clean-mouth-forget-tomorrow. Rather than pursue our interest first and long term agenda, Igbo leaders decided to be swayed by GEJ “I’m one of you” and my name is “Azikiwe” daftish mentally to follow GEJ.

Today, clowns and businessmen like MrChukwudi and Mr Vitalist are still pushing Ndigbo to toe the same stupidity their ancestors did under GEJ & Obasanjo.

OGA stop posting garbages as comment cos you hate Igbo people.I have no doubt that it's a question of time,the mother will have all her children back..Just forget about this court delay tactics..Let's see who will win at last....

Deep inside you people's heart, You guys are 100% aware that this pathetic man called FFK he goat is mentally retarded,but becos it has to do with IGBO woman & yoruba hatred, you guys just came to display it to the fullness. Honestly,this is a typical original igbo hatred and Yoruba tribalistic b*stards and all the terrible lecherous Yoruba men who could not satisfy an Igbo women would like to pour out their frustrations & defending their dysfunctional generational problem. imagine this curse tribe defending dementia man,while with in their mind, they are aware that this lunatic man is not fit to live with any human being created by God..In a civilized country,that man will be in Psychiatric Hospital for treatment. Someone who hits people hammer & he nearly beat up a journalist in public.But, you will never see this Yoruba bigot talking about his lunatic behavior ,cos she an Igbo woman..Shame on all you of you....

Always flexing full muscle with weak people,but powerless & very very weak in Bed....
I am not even panicking a bit, I can bet with my left t*sticular that the woman will win at last.I can bet you, FFK will pay her the total child support he was dodging till his last Kobo.. I know he is just flexing, displaying& enjoying his little APC power buhari rented him for job well done..

All she needs is a good lawyer,& she will have her children back..
FFK is lucky he is not dealing with Tonto dick.. For now, it looked as if Ffk was winning cos he was fast enough to seize the kids& kept bribing Court to adjourn the case..We all know this can only happen in a shit hole called Nigeria, FFK knows he can't try this kind of shit in developed countries..Of course he will be in Jail by now.. Yoruba men, terrible set of husband material. Na only mouth dey get, none of them could last more than 60 seconds, even Churchill is 40 seconds,FFK is weak to penetrate..Even , Iniedo once accused Dbanji of being one minute man & could not perform..Upon all the drugs agbo etc they used to ddrink b4 sex,yet they could not perform...
Look at Davido case, ashawo nwoke.Just tell me one man that has married igbo woman and lasted just 2 years? Yoruba full of terrible husbands with their black dirty dick, hungry pure white pussy.If you interview Chioma now, she would tell you how terrible Davido would be on the Bed, forget about OBO ranting.It has been proved both practically & scientifically that Yoruba men cannot satisfy Igbo pussy..See, Churchill, Davido, Ffk etc despite their big mouth..
Yoruba people are curse nation full of hatred & evil when they see Igbo people.But, we no send them, we will keep paying them in the same coins they labor for...
I swear any day I will see or get my daughter around a Yoruba man,that will be her end.And any school I enrolled my child and see a Yoruba children there, I will withdraw him there cos you guys are evil.See what they did to Dowen Sylvester.This is how Buhari used FFK deceived & ruined Nnamdi Kalu to Kenyan.We warned that ohamadike to desist from that cameleon Yoruba man,he refused that FFK is his friend..
That's the reason you saw Buhari welcoming FFK in AsoRock cos Buhari showed him appreciation for job well done & he was ushered in to APC sharp Sharp.. Trust a Yoruba man to your own Peri..
Just see, Peter of Psquare, how he was able to control that mad lola well& refused to allow her dissolve his extended families, despite being a devil incarnate..If it were to be that Peter was a Yoruba man,e for team up with with his yoruba brothers and showed that lady shege!!!!

*This is a big lesson to other gullible Igbo women that dating a Yoruba man is a scam & inviting a generational curses to your self...This is just an eye opener to other
Igbo women who are still hanging around the Afonji dirty dick, should take a leaf from Chikwendu tree.
I repeat, any day my daughter would date a Yoruba, I swear I will disown her.
I would rather marry a Fulani woman than a Yoruba woman

davirossi:
According to God's word the plan and ministry of the devil is in three folds, to kill, steal and to destroy. But the confidence we have God has given us a means to stand our guard against him.
In the book of 2Corinthians 2:11 the Niv version.
in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.
You must be aware of his schemes so you can defeat him or chase him far from you. And I listed four schemes/devices the devil can use to keep you stagnant

1. Sleep: the old fool will always make you think you can never get enough sleep. You can sleep the whole afternoon and still sleep in the night.

2. Procrastination: The false hope of thinking there is still time. The old fool will always make you feel you can get it done at anytime but not at the moment. he will make you relax for no reason.

3. Food: Gluttony is one of the deadliest sin God hates even. Too much food weakens your mind, even your body. You can hardly think when your stomach is over full. The old fool will always make you think without food you can do nothing.

4. Making you think God is talking to you: the devil can come into your mind and make you feel that you're listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit and by so doing giving you false hope and making you to relax and loose guard before he strikes.


Counter Measures you can you use to fight and defend yourself.

Against sleep: if you sleep throughout the afternoon then by all means be awake in the midnight till atleast 2am. Either you pray, read a book or watch a video on success on YouTube.

Against Procrastination: put pressure on yourself at all time. Every task must be completed instantly even as simple as to watch your clothes.

Against Food: Control your appetite, if you're hungry then by all means eat something if not relax and meditate on the word of God you want understanding and clarity on.

Against false voice: read and spend quality time reading the Bible because the voice behind the text of the scriptures is the voice of God when you become familiar with it then you can know when God is talking to you.

Fight against vain thoughts too, versions of old you, old habits. You have to continuously move away from such thoughts and imaginations.
