You called that a waste?! NO, it ain't!

PhockPhockMan:
It's unfortunate that APC is bent on using Rivers people against the president who is from a sister state, bayelsa. After using Amaechi to no avail, they now turn to a Kalabari queen.

General Buhari will clear APC's primaries by a landslide.

This' a good news!

taharqa:
Ok. So who was sharin #1million each to delegates in ebonyi or so d oda day??

Oga, Buhari never shared any money to any Delegate. He was said to have given Imo Delegates N1m, but the news was meant to tarnish his image. Jasper Azuatalam, Director, Buhari's Vanguard, confirmed that Buhari never gave them anything. They only gave them N5,000 each for their fare. Those Delegates were even laughing at them that 5K was too small, they had to beg the Delegates to understand that Buhari ain't that reach. At the end, another Honourable from Imo added 5K to make it 10K. If you know any APC National Delegate from Imo, you can confirm from him!

Obiagelli:
You are right too, truth be told, the mindset of these politicians/delegates is different from the ordinary people. However we must not encourage bribery.

Exactly. Bribery must be discouraged at all level. But that doesn't mean people should see down watch without taking any action. We must ensure that Atiku is silenced come early hours of tomorrow!

barcanista:
How can you justify such corruption? It is highly condemnable and I hope Buhari takes note. No kobo from tax payers money should be spent to prosecute election, neither should bribery be encouraged. We need to move away frm money politics which is why most of us are with Buhari

There are some Politicians (Governors) who do not depend on tax payers money. Or are you expecting those people to just fold their arms and be expecting manners to fall from Heaven?! They need to do something now!

barcanista:
Buhari will win and has won. But this quote is very disturbing, I hope it is not true.

Oga, to me, that quote ain't disturbing. If you want to claim to be clean today, and feel like not using every available resources, most delegates would dance to the tune of Atiku's cash. I'm with the Governor on that. Nigerians can no longer endure, instead of enjoy. If there's any way they can silent Atiku today, let them do!

Obiagelli:
Well said, his candidate was defeated 2 in adamawa, the media hype around atiku is unbelievable, i hope he works for buhari after the primaries.

His candidate has been defeated twice in Adamawa. It would be very difficult for him to even get the votes of the delegates from his state!

barcanista:
For the record, only General Muhammadu Buhari will get my vote and those of my acquaintace come feb 14,2015. I am firm in my belief that Atiku, Kwankwaso, Rochas and Sam Nda will all be thrashed. Any move or attempted move to deny General Muhammadu Buhari of the ticket means "a big No to APC" at all levels. I am very resolute here and watching keenly. I cannot campaign or vote for a man(Atiku) that is worse than the incumbent. Whoever think Atiku can bribe is way to the Presidency is mistaking. Should the delegates mistakenly elect Atiku, I will spit on them and will not vote for Atiku no matter who he picks as vice.

We the Nairaland APC Members (at least 75% of us) would lead the 2015 Campaign against Atiku should he get the ticket. I cannot say GEJ is bad, and compaign/vote for Atiku, who is worse!

Atiku's cash cannot save him from being humiliated today. It never saved him during the Adamawa APC Guber Primaries, it would not save him today. Buhari has since been our Flag bearer. That's the only Candidate that can make me step out of my house to the Polling Units come February 14th!

barcanista:
he should give 2016 a shot! If he wants to remain a strong political force, he sould not go back to his shell except he's planning to retire from politics

After we returned from the venue of the primaries, he told us he would consult well before taking any decision. But he never plans defecting sha. He also said he would never leave politics. We are awaiting his decision after the consultation!

barcanista:
You are right on not decamping to PDP, he should remain with the party but start planning towards 2019 oor 2016(if he's interested in the Governorship). He gotta start solidifying his political bloc and encroaching on opponent's strongholds, mending fences but have a target. There are other capacities he can serve at party, state and national level. Hopefully APC win 2015 at federal level.

All is set o, it is Buhari or nothing for me. Nothing for Atiku and Okorocha.

Thanks boss. I would have also advised him to contest thhe 2016 Governorship Election, but he's from the same Senatorial District with Adams Oshiomole. The thing should have been zoned to the Esans, but the Binis may likely get it!

soroptimist:
Hmmmm what can one say

That is Politics for you......full of intrigues and 'back-stabbing' especially the brand we play in Nigeria

Bros, that's just it o... Oshiomole really tried!

barcanista:
So touching. Oshio just taught Senator Domingo a simple politics 101. In Politics, you don't just take what an ally says hookline and sinker, you plan for betrayal and contigencies and critically analyse what and what stake exist. Anyway, Sen ObenÐe trusteÐ Oshio and Shuaibu but they "betrayed" him. Î hope it doesn't get him down. My advise to him will depeÑd on his next step

Bros, na so we see am o. Oshiomole has just selected someone he feels would be loyal to him. I respect his decision though. Domingo has said he won't decamp though, he's presently in Lagos for the National Convention. I wouldn't even advise him to decamp to the PDP because it's not an option. Anenih and the late Ekhabafe from Akoko Edo, betrayed him in 2007 as well. He should just stay in APC and fight for another tangible thing.

BTW, hwfa for today convention na?! Hope all is set for jubilation/celebration after GMB is declared the winner?! That's the only man that would make me step out of my house come February 14th!

soroptimist:
I learnt Major Francis Alimekhena won..........and that even Prof Julius Ihonvbere have resigned

what happened ?

I thought Sen Domingo Obende tried at the Senate........

Bros, if you check my last post on Nairaland, you'd discover it was posted on Sunday. We've been somehow busy ever since then. The reason Domingo lost was that he's from minority tribe (Akoko Edo) in Edo North [Afemai]. I was at his place on that faithful day. I was there when he left for Oshiomole's Place in Iyamho around 9pm on the eve of the Primaries and came back home around past 4:00am thinking that he had won the heart of the people. He never knew that Oshiomole and one Philip Shaibu (EDHA Majority Leader) had betrayed him. These guys are from Etsako and Alimekhena is also from there.

Etsako and Akoko Edo were Domingo's Strongholds until Oshiomole came in. Out of the 64 Wards in Edo North, Etsako accounts for 32, Owan 22 and we (Akoko Edo's) account for only 10. Etsako voted their Son (as instructed by Oshiomole), Owan voted their son and Akoko Edo never united to vote their son (Domingo).

Oshiomole's fear was that neither Domingo nor Ihonvbere would pledge loyalty to him after leaving the office come 2016. So he decided to impose the 'poor' Francis Alimekhena for easy access. Another fact he considered was that if Domingo goes back to the Senate, he would become a Principal Officer and he won't be able to ask him to step down for him to go to the Senate come 2019 (like the case of Ekwerimadu and Chime).

Bros, make I no lie for you, I just too weak here.... Oshiomole just spoil my plan. It ain't bad though!

soroptimist:
Donphilopus.....Please Who won the Senatorial Primaries electoral contest between Prof Julius Ihonvbere and Incumbent Sen Domingo Alaba Obende?

Thanx

Bros, it's tomorrow o. I'd surely update y'all immediately they're done. But with the situation on ground now, the odd favours the Incumbent Senator Domingo Obende. His Aspirants for the House of Reps in Edo North won the Tickets. Pally Iriase for Owan and Philip Shaibu for Etsako Federal Constituencies!

Elections should be conducted in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe. There are other countries experiencing war and still hold Elections. Nigeria shouldn't be different. They should be allowed to elect their Leaders!

We would have to meet with Leaders of neighbouring Countries to ensure that Boko Haram members are not allowed to move freely around these countries!

The Presidency's fight against is unsatisfactory - Buhari

I can't go against my party. Whoever they want to be my running mate, whether a Christian or a Muslim, I'd have to concur - Buhari.

Ride on Sir!

Interviewer: Why do they see you as a Religious Bigot/fundamentalist?!

Buhari: After explaining, he concluded by saying that calling him a bigot is an injustice to his personality.

My President-in-waiting is on point!

That's my President-in-waiting. He's really on point!

When Lakoju was contesting against Domingo for Edo North Senatorial Seat [ACN Primaries], he said it during his flag off that whoever emerges the Party's Flag bearer should be supported in the Election by others. But when he lost (not imposition) the Primaries to Domingo, he defected to PDP instantly. So, I wouldn't be surprised seeing this from Atiku, he may also do what this guy did in 2011.

After urging his Supporters and fellow Aspirants to support who ever emerges the Candidate thinking the he'd emerge, he'd defect to a new Party if APC fails to give him their ticket. Atiku, sorry, we know your tactics!

I like this man sha!

I thought the Congress that took place in Cross River was sham. We also read it that Sen. Victor Ndoma-Egba manipulated the result at the PDP National Secretariat. Why then did he lose the ticket to another Aspirant?!

IVORY2009:
Yes offcourse...

Bros, I doubt that o!

IVORY2009:
Prof. Uche Chukwumeije has been in government for the past 25years if I am not mistaken, he served in various Government from military to civilian, he was the formal minister of information during the Babagida's regime, and also Abacha too, also one time min. Of education too, and also he has been in the senate for the past 12yrs, wat does he want again? Age is not telling on him, he need top retire and give room to younger politicians, he was once refered to as every government in power!!!

Uche Chukwumerije, a Prof?!

Sardonicism, right?!

Most people who voted GEJ in 2011 are now regretting their action. If the election is conducted in a free, fair and credible way, your Victory shall "surly be sure," my President-in-waiting!
