Don't forget that Atiku and Kwakwanso are Northerners too.
I do not delude myself into thinking that one of them can defeat Buhari in North. But one thing that I am sure of is they carry enough weight to shave some votes off Buhari's. And this, along with the predictable voting pattern of South-South and South-East, can land the PDP the Presidential seat.

this is highly unlikely. The way PDP is currently conducting themselves it is obvious Nigerians despise dem. To win presidency ever again in Nigeria, the PDP would
1) Have to change its name completely, PDP is a dread to d average Nigerian ears.

It is impossible for PDP to win. Not cause they r even bad, but simply coz dey do not have d majority states.
PDP is also likely to loose some seats in d SS if they r not careful n conduct themselves with caution. That is of course if SS current PDP does not rig d state elections. But of cuz dis is a dream. They will rig it.

bettercreature:
Like the popularity of GEJ droped in the SS/SE abi?You better forget it if Buhari kill all of us today he'd still win 2019 election beside to be Nigerias president you must have the support of the northern and south western people
Those SS/SE have never have a say in Nigerias politics and it will always be so as they were exposed during the 2015 election when they gave 95% of their vote to GEJ,no election can ever be worse than that

Not North and SW, But two major regions. SE/SS + NC, SE/SS+NW/NE, SW+ANy oda region

Ontarget:
Why wouldn't northerners vote against their own when there is a better option and part of their own too?

coz buhari's support in d north and some south west is unshakable. even admist d economic situation. North love PMB it is impossible to take north. PMB has North. South West does not bliv in tribalism n will do what if good for Nigeria. SW make up d real Nigerian activists who fought for democracy n a better Nigeria. All SW activists are against PDP. And frequently support PMB policies. Even Wole Soyinka. So 2019 is definitely and APC win presidentially.
If KOWA steps up their game, they will also claim some LGAs/States (very few) from PDP, and PDP in APC uniform govs.

Biafra is dead and buried. Ojukwu died a Nigerian and even Kanu will renounce Biafra when the FG is through with him. The igbos and we yorubas and hausa/fulanis shall remain one forever. i look forward to a Nigeria where an igbo marries an hausa/fulani, a yoruba marries Igbo and vice versa. That is the spirit of one Nigeria

Yorubas marry Igbos and vice versa but d hausa/fulani is quite a complicated story. I think this is just coz of d religious commitments

leave Niger Delta alone. PMB. Let dem bomb themselves. Provided they keep it there. That will force Nigerians to look 4 alternate means beside Nigeri Delta. Leave dem. In about 4 years wen half of their community has been wiped out, they will av sense

AbuMaryam1:
Run away? You have gotten it wrong, the PDP moderator of political section banned me for some days, this is my first reply. On Buhari, I found a reflection of a good leader in him who takes decisive decision, without fear of favor. Recent hike of petroleum products is vindictive. The decision is correct but the time is questionable, yet if we didn't do it now we can't survive the forth coming crisis awaiting. it will cause alot of rant from masses which is manageable.
let me remind you nobody immortalized Buhari, he is the better option for now, hence our support against your ethnic affiliate perceptions.

U r right my broda, dese days u get banned from nairaland fr criticizing PDP, IPOB Or NDA

Adebammm:
Now Nigerians will know the difference between a Ph.d holder and a dullard who fail maths @ school. When IMF and others advised him to devalue it since, he insisted at me Mr President Buhari will not devalue. What abt naw?...

Shebi u guys said he should devalue. Wen he did not u pple screamed and called ICC now he has u r calling him a dullard. Evil is faceless, it takes d form of hatred.

EasternLeopard:
You don't insult and fight the regions that feed the Nation.
Imagine calling these regions 5% and threatening them.

Any attack on any community will see ICC hand coving Buhari and his low IQ supporters

Buhari good morning.

well these attacks r fine by Nigerians actually. Just please in Gods Name keep it to the SE/SS. Buhari wont come there dont worry. Just keep it 2 urselves, blow urselves only up. Thanks

babestella:
Please stop this nonsense if you don't know what oil block means and the kind of weak try it can give an individual. Mrs. Folusho Alakija became the richest woman in Nigeria within few years because OBJ allocated an oil block to her. How many women from Niger delta have oil blocks? I leave you to answer that.

You make noise about asking their governors for accountability, what has that got to do with resource control. Even if they build refinery where do they buy crude oil from? Nigeria right? Being able to refine oil and sell only leaves you and your region with profit making which is marginal. Bulk money goes to the center which is selfishly run and controlled by the Fulani. Pls I don't have time

But they give ur states more than every other state in niGERIA, Where is d money? U guys continue to allow urselves be used as western instruments of destruction. Those pple do not care and will never care about u. I dont blame u guys sha.
Look, if d US succeds in its plans 2 devalue d naira, dat would mean they would increase their trade with Nigeria and make nigeria exclusively their oil partners.
However any oil they r drilling, they will be paying next to nothing for it. All these is to make Nigeria's Oil, Exports and Currency completely meaningless. Nigeria's export is d only 1 still standing in int'l markets u know? And they open ur borders to cheap importation of sub standard goods so we can buy at their own determined rate. WHEN WILL AFRICANS GROW BRAINS? WHEN? WHEN? The only good person that has ever come 2 power to release us from d leashes of dese devils u pple r making his life hell. What do u pple want? The SE/SS r killing dis country thanks to their uneducated and ignorant youth. If I were Buhari, I would have kicked u guys out a long time ago. D country is better without u guys. Even the Almajiris have more sense dan pple 4rm dat area now a days.
In 5 years, Nigeria will be Zimbabwe and our currency will be nothing. We would have strong trade relations with America but they will pay nothing for what they take from here

ThundrCork:
You must understand that these guys are using sophisticated weaponry. Are you aware that there are robotic drones that can be operated from any part of the world? This drones could be used for bombings. Why do you think they are so confident and sure of themselves?

The government needs to use technology to fight technology else the NDA will always be a step ahead of them

Don't bother we don't need all DAT. The army is already working on fishing out their sponsors. Oil d money den kill the group. Easy. And we can also resort to clearing d entire region to sand and rebuilding

MasterofNL:
A state governor alone cannot build a deep seaport, it is an FG project.

Was it Lagos state that built Apapa port?

Wen dey cane dere u guys said no bcoz u pple did not want buhari to do it. U pple r confused. U have to pick a side. Ipob or Nigeria.

Who is going to invest in Niger delta wen u pple r allowing ipob to blow u pple up? No investor in his right senses will do dat

coolscott:
[size=13pt]I see the scrutiny with which they want to trace all money that FFK received, saying thank God there is the BVN so they can trace all the transactions on all his accounts.

Can they please do the same with our dear former governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi?

Why is there a zero desire to do so?

These people are soldiers of another version of corruption[/size]

Bcoz I think PMB has decided to leave u guys alone to wallow in ignorance. I beliv this is a good decision for him and Nigeria. I f u guys r nit ready to coporate with Nigeria, Nigeria will not coporate with u. If he decides to go after him now IPOB and NDA will protest "Marginalization" and "Injustice'. so plz, we r busy fixing dis country we do not need distractions. Wen d pple in SS/SE comne back to their senses, then we may b ready to answer dem

It is a welcome idea actually. Let us investigate the campaign funds for all State Govenors and senators from SEE,SS,NW,NE,C,SW. This would be good for transperency. Let begin this investigation. All former PDP, and current PDP senators must be forced to declare how they got the cars they were driving. Buhari should get dat money back. Some of them can't sleep at night again. They will shit on themselves.

PDP is the worst thing that happened to this country. PDP lost in 2015 and will loose in 2019 because of their mentality of "supremacy of impunity", "Reward of Incompetence" and the destruction of Nigeria as a nation and Nigerians as a people.

To top this all up, the PDP has a party has not even realised what they did wrong that led to their defeat. They blame it on "wrong zoning" and "forcing candidates". Rather than reflect on what they have done wrong, they are more fixated with as their newly elected youth leader put it, "De Marketing" The APC. They have during this time shown nigerians the kind of people they really are. All they have done id fixate on power and office and sabotage anything good that comes out of the present administration.

They gave a few half-baked young people political positions as political e-thugs and called it "youth empowerment". All the talk about is "How we are going to take back power from d APC in 2019", "How we would de market APC". No PDP leader, not 1, has come out to say Nigerians, "This is our economic plan, this is what e would do, this is our new political strategy". None.


What the PDP fails to realize is that, although the APC is not as effective as we thought, the PDP poses absolutely NO threat to the APC in 2019. APCs greatest threats are KOWA and YDP. The leaders of these parties are young, progressive and insightful. Nigerians r simply tired of d old generation and their ancient corrupt system of govt.

sikirat2020:
Looking at the height of injustice meted on the Niger deltans and Biafra , i weep. But how come Northerners have 95% oil blocs and virtually none for the owners of the land, This is an era of change and MUST BE CHANGED ALL WE ALL DROWNED.
LONG LIFE BIAFRANS

if they give u d oil block wat will u do? SS has had oil for decades. NOT ONE of their govs have said let us empower our people to control this oil by building refinaries that will be controlled by d niger deltans. Instead u pple have supported ur corrupt politicians to loot d area to stupor. What has d Niger Delta themselves contributed? U think it is by sitting down and demanding for what u have not bothered to work for. The people in Texas americas oil, mine, produce, refine and sell their oil. Not d gov, not foreigners.

U guys can stay there and keep demanding oil revenues. Until Niger Deltans take control of the processing and refining of oil in partnership with the NNPC they will continue to b marginalized. Nobody is going to b working for somebody else to be eating. Being born a Nigeria does not give me d rights to money from our treasury without working.
U think it is by sitting down on top of oil and demanding oil. Make urselves useful. Be strategic, tell ur govs/senators to push for bills dat will help young pple start up to standard small refinaries and begin shipping oil. Build undr ground pipelines. All ur govs r sponsoring d destruction of ur lands and u pple r watching.

u pple r d ones blowing urselves up and refusing development from d current gov due to ur misguided hatred and refusal to accept defeat. All d years GEJ ruled, northerners never let their hatred (yes, am sure they hate us too, its not only us dat can hate) threaten to break nigeria. Even under 10 years of boko haram dat GEJ did nothing about.
Now u r blowing ur infrastructures, later u will be claiming under development and marginalization

Sanchase:
The situation of the Nigerian economy makes begging by disabled a means of livelihood. If you happen to visit a well developed nation, beggers

get more support in terms of allowance, accommodation, free parking. Nigerian government provide none for the disabled so they resort to

begging. Most of the individuals who beg have life threatening injuries and unable to work if any.

Maybe the Governor needs to sit on that seat himself to truly understand what it feels like to be a beggar.

dont even try to "Intellectually" defend begging. There is no angle u can play

El Rufai was the best thing that happened to Abuja. When he was there we all screamed and cursed. But Abuja of today is what El Rufai created. And everyone forgets that. Anyone who lives in ABuja wil tell u dat El Rufai is good for Kaduna. I remeber these el rufai's laws. We were angry but we got what is now todays Abuja. Kaduna people should trust him, he is one of the good Govs out there

Oxenomy:
But 800 BHs just got amnesty and more are on their way. What do you have to say about that?

They did not get Amnesty, They are being rehabilatated. It means they will be locked up and recieving de-radicalization lessons

The Ijaw youth has told President Mohammed Buhari to crush the Niger Delta Avengers and completely ignore their demands.

The youths have also warned the Niger Delta Avengers to stay away from their communities

omenka:
This is the ONLY time Fayose has been right- he is eminently qualified for the position of Vice President under a PDP ticket, alongside Ali Modu Shakau, the Boko Haram Grand Patron.

Actually not a bad combo u know, Ali Modu Sheriff President, Fayose: Vice President, Rochas Okorocha: Senate President. Spot on

I blame NDLEA for this rubbish. If they were doing their jobs properly, this man will not be high on cheap drugs.

Rule of law: Forged certificates
Rule of law: Cyphooned monies
Rule of law: U looted money
Rule of law: U attempted to change the rule of law to suite ur individual needs
Rule of law: Your name was mentioned in Panama
Rule of law: U falsely declared ur assets
Rule of law: U were collecting salary as a gov even when u were not a gov.
Rule of law my foot. Saraki has to go for Nigerians to believe in this anti-graft fight. Saraki has put Nigerians on trial in d eyes of d world and his outcome is a test of the meaningfulness of our constitution and the rule of law. If we fail, we will remain a complete joke to the world for decades to come. External forces will begin paying senators to change our constitution so they can do what they want. Our freedoms, Our lives, Our dignity as a nation, our self-worth as a people depend on this.

Is it that u guys do not think things through before u carry out ur actions? Kanu is not a Nigerian. He will not be tried under the same laws. Even if they give NDAs and Boko and Herdsmen Amnesty, Kanu will forever be clssified under the constitution as a foriegn threat. U guys know this right? Our constitution caters for Nigerians not British. Kanus faith is really up to the British govt now.

All these people are just paid stooges to make sure Nigeria has a division. This is common among all oil producing countries. Nigerians should be wiser. "Fulani" Herdsmen, "Niger Delta" Avengers. Be wise my people. If we r fighting ourselves we cannot fight the true enemy.
I thought Nigerians should have realized this by now. As an oil producing country, there will always be a paid group of people with the specific purpose of causing a division. Dont mind these Avengers. Their journey is a very short one. If they think they will get Amnesty, wrong administration. U r definitely going to boko haram rehabilitation camp.

dayowunmi:
Based in America but still running things in Nigeria. You can rant all you want about him being pro APC but if you look very well you would have seen articles and investigations conducted against APC leaders as well. The senators numbers he released were they all pdp alone? Or is it wrong we know our senators numbers? When they are there as representatives of the people. When Nigerians see someone who's not a sell out or doesn't reason along the way they do, they quickly give him names. Sowore you are doing great mehn, keep up the good works.

Honestly nobody cares what political party he belongs. He is entitled to his political ideas. He is doing the right thing for society and days what makes him special

Op don't bother. Let me save u d stress. U cannot discredit sahara reporters. Go back n tell dem DAT d job is hard as sowore has d greatest fan database right now in Nigeria beating even lindaikeji. Sahara fights for d people when everyone else fights for d elite. Sowore is already an established African hero. His name will go down in history books. What will u be remembered for? Wailung

Sowore don't mind these miscreants. We know what u do, u know wat u do. U r a true Nigerian and African hero. And when DAT day comes, u will be engraved amongst African soldiers like nkurumah, Soyinka, saro wiwa, sankara, for leading in fight against corruption in Nigeria. The deadliest voilatyion of human rights

I will only commend you for suggesting a female vice president.It means that Nigeria is getting more female gender friendly .However,2019,in my opinion, is still far. We're even yet to do a fair assessment of the current occupants of those offices

Yeah i know, but we need to begin grooming leaders
