PaChukwudi44:
Atiku is not hoping on votes only from the SS/SE.This is not GEJ.Wake up dude.He is also a Muslim and a northerner and will pull significant votes from the core north aand middle belt. most yyorubas will vote APC anyway whether a sw VP emerges or not including you and Sarrki

Beblessedbaba:

CilicMarin:

Can't you see the only group of people that are campaigning for Atiku are all ipob?

Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos state, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, has picked his former rival for the party’s governorship ticket, Babafemi Hamzat, as his running mate, Concise News has learned.

Sanwo-Olu, who became the candidate of the APC after defeating the incumbent governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, in the primary election, made the decision due to the support he received from Hamzat in the runoff to the primary, a source familiar with the situation told our correspondent.


Hamzat, a former Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure in the state, was a major contender in the race for the APC governorship ticket before stepping down for Sanwo-Olu.

He had said that his decision to withdraw from the race was borne out of greater good for Lagos than the benefit of an individual.

“Having been part and parcel of the formulation and execution of various policies and programmes that transformed Lagos right from former governors Tinubu and Babatunde Fashola’s administrations, I strongly believe that Sanwo-Olu is equally rooted to fly our party’s flag in the 2019 elections.

“I have no doubt that he is well placed and equipped to take Lagos to greater height, hence my stepping down for him,” Hamzat had said.

A source told our correspondent that Sanwo-Olu’s decision to pick Hamzat was part of the agreement reached before the latter stepped down.

This decision, the source said, became imperative due to the political weight Hamzat currently enjoys in the state as a major member of “The Justice Forum, which partnered The Mandate Movement”, a group loyal to Bola Tinubu, to affirm Sanwo-Olu’s candidacy.

“Yes, I can tell you that he has picked Hamzat, in fact he made the decision before the primary”, the source told our correspondent, noting that “an official statement will be issued soon to that effect”.

When asked why Sanwo-Olu picked Hamzat rather than a female running mate, the source said: “Hamzat is from a strong group (The Justice Forum) and they had a deal with The Mandate Movement to ensure Sanwo-Olu wins the primary.”

The source added that: “With the kind of political weight Hamzat enjoys in Lagos, Sanwo-Olu cannot in anyway ignore him.”

But at the time of this report, Sanwo-Olu, who would battle Jimi Agbaje of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at next year’s governorship election, had yet to issue a statement.

What the coalition of united political parties (cupp) portends for Nigeria


HE woke up to a new development where PDP, outside power, has now managed to create another coalition. As facts continue to emerge, they listed 36 political parties. “Our analysis of that coalition reveals that a number of political parties were included in that coalition fraudulently. “Part of the 42 political parties they listed is Accord Party and the chairman of the party is here with us. If you are creating a coalition, you need to be honest about it as to who and who are members of the coalition. “As of today, the membership of that coalition is in doubt. Two members also listed at that coalition are here. We are not part of that coalition because we represent a type of politics, which is in total contradiction to what they are doing. “We do not believe that our country should be governed by people whose only objective is to capture power. Of what purpose is that coalition0? Is it for the purpose of taking Nigeria back to 1999 and 2015 or is it for the purpose of building a new Nigeria? “That purpose has not been stated, even in their memorandum. The only thing in their MoU is to agree to capture power in 2019. Their programme has not been made known to the Nigerian public. We will not be part of a coalition that does not have a programme for Nigeria,” – Alhaji Bashir Yusuf Ibrahim, Peoples Democratic Party Chairman.

Just as well, as I almost called it a coalition of Nigerian rogue politicians. I almost did or what do you call a group of people that puts out their very first baby steps by fraudulently, claiming as many as 20 political parties, namely:

Accord Party, Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM), United Progressive Party (UPP), Advanced People’s Democratic Alliance (APDA), Hope Democratic Party (HDP), Democratic Peoples Party (DPP), Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN). Freedom Justice Party (FJP), Fresh Party, (FP) New Nigeria’s Peoples Party (NNPP), Nigeria’s Peoples Congress (NPC), Nigeria Peoples Movement (NPM), Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN), National Action Congress (NAC), and NDLP as members when they know they are not?

globemoney:
According to my sources, Ambode has agreed to work for Agbaje and also finance his election. Ambode will be defecting to PDP before the election in Lagos.. Keep shinning teeth. It's over for APC in Lagos

bibiking7:




IN MY OWN OPINION. This man seems self Centered. You lost the last election and just ignored the citizens. During Amobodes mess ups, you kept mute. You cannot even form small opposition and just criticize small. Maybe the criticism would have even gingered the governor to do small work. You only bought the form because you felt you can ride on the discord in APC and capitalise on people's sentimental hatred for Tinubu. Bros, abeg talk better or leave us alone. I am going to Google what values you have added to Lagos lately

globemoney:
Jimi Agbaje the next governor of Lagos state. Save this somewhere.. Afonja should start preparing to go back to opposition where they belong. tinubu should start making his last tour of Aso Rock as he will never smell that venue again

Buterflyle0:
God abeg let him pick an ipob for VP

That would be a magic duo tantamount to a loss

onuebonyi:
I now say the thing dey pepper you.

The next government will be formed by the NE and SE. BY GODS' GRACE

new2012:
Say what you want. Just calm down with the hatred for other tribes. I'm not Igbo nor do I tilt to ur side


Hate beget hate and so the trend continues.
U hate the other tribe, your children will continue the hatred and so it deteriorates into something more terrible in the future, that's how ethnic cleansing starts.. Wouldn't it be better you stop igniting the flames now?

Its politics, the politicians have no tribe, they jump boats at will but you down the food chain are against each other.

Jokerman:
Answer the question and stop beating around the bush.... Apart from Lagos, call any other state...
