Wadeoye: For reasons best known to the stakeholders. Acn is the party in south west and people here vote along that line. If the acn which is their rallying points says gej implicitly or explicitely, gej may still have his way. But will that ever happen in 2015 with the merger? Of course NO and not even with the failure of GEJ. South west dont support failure even if he is their son. So, forget about GEJ winning south west in 2015 and it will too bad if you cant read the handwritting on the wall already. And in 2015, a lot of people didnt bother to vote due to the silence of acn.

banki: who killed all the nigerians that have died as a result of the bad roads and ill equiped hospitals......since 1999, who is responible for the fact that after 14 billion dollars waas sunk into electricity we still use generators.....can anyone please answer me

Buhari /CPC

OAM4J: So proud of my Governor.

This is when 3rd term agenda make sense. But then, I believe there are many as good as Fashola that will continue the good work come 2015.

Eziachi: Why would Ngige or Igbo be subject to just a VP option under any platform?

take dat: Instead of the Fashola-Utomi ticket, I guess I'll rather prefer a Ribadu-Utomi one. If Buhari concedes to Ribadu, he will most likely garner a lot of votes in the North, while Utomi will appeal to the quasi-intellectuals and the neutrals, while the ACN governors work for them in the SW

Deep Sight: @ Naijababe, I hear you, but please remember the key word is "realistic" for the opposition to have cross-country appeal.

Left to me, those would not be my suggestions. If zoning was not an issue in Nigeria I would immediately pick something like Fashola-Pat Utomi

naijababe: You know that and even I will concede that much but not the case outside SW. BTW, I was rooting for Ribadu all the way, the thought of voting GEJ never even crossed my mind.

Deep Sight: P: El-Rufai or Nuhu Ribadu - VP: Peter Obi

Good canditates IMO however i dont see them capturing enough votes to defeat the killer party all over the federation. Also considering the fact that OBi is APGA and it has been well stated that APGA is much more alligned to the killer party, this isnt realistic enough.

P: El Rufal or Nuhu Ribadi - VP: Fashola

Good canditates IMO however i dont see them capturing enough votes to defeat the killer party all over the federation.

P: Bukola Saraki - VP: Peter Obi


This doesnt differ from retardeen/sambo ticket now

P: Sule Lamido - VP: Fashola

I have it on good authority that Lamido is pretty doing well has governor. He seems to be one of the few killer governors doing good however i dont see how realistic this ticket can be. Lamido's closeness to OBJ also suggest to me that he simply cant leave the killer party for now. This ticket isnt realistic.

P: Mohammed Buba Marwa - VP: Fashola

marwa, hmmmn tough one here. keep my fingers crossed. i honestly dont know how acceptable he is even to his north constituency however i can bet my prick that Buhari will gather more votes than him even in the north


What do you make of the above suggestions?

Good suggestions no doubt however, the million dollar question is how many votes can they gather that can defeat the killer party.

naijababe: Even VP for a Yoruba man right is overly ambitious, it's still too close to the seat of power. Besides, you have to admit that a vast majority of SW tolerate Tinubu because of Fashola and not the other way round. Way I see it, in Tinubu is dead weight for Fashola in national politics, I don't know how Fash can be rid of him.

naijababe: Herein lies the problem, for non-believers like me, what can he do to convince otherwise? Going by what you see on this thread, there are many just like out there.

thelastPope: There is no president in the world that will want bad news about his administration aired on TV. The important thing is that he does something about it. Even Obama was not happy with the revelation of the Bengazi mess. That is normal for every human being. Like I said, the important thing is that he responds promptly. We need investigative journalists to do their job. What we don't need are the political play that goes along with it. Report it as is. No speculation and rumors. No insults and scoring of cheap political points. Even if the government is embarrassed, that's fine as long as they respond and the nation is better for it. Truth is, it is wrong to assume that a president sitting in Abuja will know everything going on accross Nigeria. Unfortunately, most government officials in Nigeria are sycophants including the so called oversight NASS! So they will never report the rot in the system. Lets all contribute our quota to move this country forward. I am totally pissed with stup1d threads like the one talking about why someone will not return back to Nigeria. Making this country great is a collective effort, not just by a magic wand from Aso Rock.

Lostpope, to be honest, u spoke well sha. Thats unlike u. however, let me add that that report had no political undertone whatsoever. its was a cool professional job the channels did and i call upon them to move to all segments of our national life and bring out documentaries like this constantly. they abound everywhere.
I wonder what u lot will say if it was SR that publish the story

ifihearam: What's your own,in this particular matter I am 100% in support of his excellency,what happened to the allocations to PCI?who authorized channels? Heads must really roll,I trust my oga.

naijababe: ^ Being an anti-corruption czar with a gun is completely different doing the same task under a democratic dispensation. I

naijababe: Any ticket with Fashola on it will make other regions fret! It wasn't that long ago that Obasanjo ruled, I am certain other regions will wonder why the SW are anxious to get power back so soon and let's not forget the Tinubu baggage.

Deep Sight: Mind you, I personally do not subscribe to a Buhari candidacy - but the thread is not about my personal subscription. The thread is about realistic options for the opposition and in that regard, Buhari may be a liability in terms of securing southern votes.

I concede though, that he will be a good candidate to sweep northern votes. I also concede that he will be good for anti-corruption.

miredia: My friend, I resolutely followed your post and the subsequent posts herein. It is unequivocally clear that you had shut your mind to oppositional views prior to inquiring for a public opinion about this subject. Your expectations were fixated and void of
objectivity. Buhari to you, is a sour choice regardless of your mindset being furnished with a contrary view that nullifies the unsubstantiated negating perception accrued to buhari. Leaving nothing merely implied, the supposed fresh minds you subtle suggested are a handful of corrupt characters. Except offcourse a few upright consciences with a radical vision like Fashola and Adams. In this pressing circumstance, nigerians cannot afford to trade necessitated reality with sentiments, sham, tribalism and religious appeal. An executive dispensation that holds the capacity to crush corruption and revamp development can only be presided over by the duo of Buhari/Fashola as both are the only proven characters on the slate. @pointb your exhibition of hatred towards Fash and Buhari is somewhat bogus and resonates from an inherent mindset of tribalism. Snap out of it sir.

Deep Sight: Fair enough. I had been expecting this suggestion. Took three pages to arrive. Any other Northerners who you think can also be suggested realistically?

anydek: The best and realistic candidates:Buhari/ Osho Baba.

odumchi: Nwanna, ndeewo. Welcome, my brother.

Deep Sight: Lol, come on, no one ever said that, come on! Buhari personally killing corpers? Lol.

aribisala0: Berem how many ids are you using here ? You have come with your madness

Deep Sight: Why risk a controversial candidate at all if you are determined to seize the presidency from the PDP? Why not shop for someone without such "baggage"?
