Even if PDP like they should re-run 10 times, it would still be vawulence in Itak. YPP are not backing down. Ukpong-Udo may not be the finest politician but he has made impact in Itak that PDP failed to achieve.

So itak is a ypp stronghold

He is expected to come a distant third or fourth if he isn't careful.. Even PDP members will vote LP. Ihedioha's people have been waiting to end his Governorship ambition before it begins.

There will be no election tomorrow, it's done and sealed, only Uzodinma can lose to Uzodinma.

You will have to show evidence of this "versatility".


Paul Ogwuma does not have a PhD in economics...in fact he doesn't have a PhD in any subject...which raises the question of why he has always been addressed as "Dr". He "studied" at Bradford University from 1959 to 1962 but what he studied and the degree he graduated with isn't quite clear. He ran Union Bank in the 1980s. He had no CBN (or any other finserv regulatory) work experience prior to his appointment as governor.

Joseph Sanusi does not have a PhD in economics...in fact he doesn't have a university degree at all. However, he worked with the CBN from 1966 for over 20 years, rising to deputy governor in the late 1980s. He also ran the SEC for a brief period in the late 1970s. The man also ran UBA and First Bank for brief periods in the early 1990s...before he was appointed CBN governor in the late 1990s. You see his lack of degree qualifications for CBN governor is mitigated somewhat by his lengthy experience in the CBN system.

Charles Soludo has a PhD in economics and has taught at a number of local and foreign universities. He has consulted for Bretton Woods institutions and the UN but prior to his appointment as CBN governor he had no work experience with the CBN or any other finserv regulator...although he ran the National Planning Commission in the early 2000s. He has no private sector experience outside academia.

Sanusi Lamido Sanusi does not have a PhD in economics...although he has bachelors and masters degrees in the subject. He had no work experience in the CBN or any other finserv regulator prior to his appointment as CBN governor...although he did work with Icon Merchant Bank UBA and First Bank...he actually ran First Bank for a brief period before he was appointed CBN governor.


You will have to show proof of Cardoso's versatility. These men actually ran commercial banks and their critics say that simply isn't enough (and rightly so). The suitability of these men for CBN Governor is being questioned even today...so how is Cardoso (who never actually ran a bank) a better fit? Yes...he was a planning commissioner at state level but is that sufficient?

Read up on this for some much needed context:

https://independent.ng/the-ideal-cbn-governor/

So soludo that was just a mere lecturer was sufficient to be cbn governor while cardoso that has worked with imf,world bank,Citigroup isn't qualified? Someone that was commissioner in Lagos for 8 years,has been on the board of local and international firms,led several research,bagged degrees in several financial fields? Oga,cardoso is far better

Saintinoo:
You don come again. Soludo was a guru of monetary economics, that is why we always advocate for an economist, especially a monetarist to handle CBN, to head CBN, you don't need commercial banking experience, what is needed is experience in handling monetary policies, which Soludo had, he was an economic adviser yo Obj before becoming CBN gov.

Even Godwin Emefiele was more experienced in banking than Cardoso.

When we tell you guys that CBN does not need bankers as head, you argue, CBN is not about making profit but about monetary policies to attain growth and development. Mind you, I even prefer the deputy governor heading the deve development dept Mallam Dattijo from Kaduna to this Tinubu family friend Cardoso.

Read Dattijo profile.

Oga,soludo was just an economist lecturer while emefiele was just a banker at first bank.why are you contradicting yourself? Who told you that cardoso is just a banker? He is a devt expert,economist,banker,financial expert,worked with intl organisations.he is the most qualified cbn gov since 1999.

Cc Garfield1

Yes,you said something like this yesterday

biina:
versatile in what?

According to your logic, so if you need a a surgery, you will not look for a medical surgeon, but would prefer someone who has been a tailor, mechanic and carpenter cos he is 'versatile'?

Oga,to handle cbn well,you need to be good in several areas of finance not just banking or economics or both.

biina:
- Soludo had a PhD in economics
- Sanusi had MSc Economics, with almost 25yrs banking experience, including CEO of First Bank
- Emefiele had MSc in Finance with 18yrs banking experience including CEO of Zenith
- Cardoso has MS Public Administration

One can argue which is more relevant between economics and banking to the role of CBN governor, but every other CBN governor had economics and/or banking experience. Yet you think that Cardoso, with his public administration background and no economics and/or banking experience is the most qualified to be CBN governor?

Thinking like yours is why Nigeria is doomed!

Funny you.soludo was just a theoretical economist,a lecturer while cardoso was a practicing one with 8 years experience in lagos.sanusi experience was in first bank while emefiele was just in zenith but cardoso worked in banks and outside.he worked outside Nigeria,worked with world bank and IMF and was on the board of major intl firms.he is more qualified than the rest who are just either bankers or economist.cardoso is versatile

Fujiyama:
And...so it turns out Cardoso never actually ran any bank here. Bank chair isn't an executive position.

Central banking is far more than supervision of deposit money banks. The suitability (for CBN governor) of commercial bank CEOs (e.g. Joseph Sanusi, Paul Ogwuma, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Godwin Emefiele etc.) is being seriously questioned (and rightly so) in some quarters...and yet Cardoso (who never even actually ran a commercial bank) is being marketed by the nairaland usual suspects as a perfect fit for CBN governor. What is his position on the key issues?

Time will tell if Cardoso will unravel like his principal - a time travelling sorcerer who "graduated" from school a good 4 years before the school was built ...or if he will be able to get us out the deep mess we are in.

Those men were pure bankers while cardoso is versatile

Saintinoo:
Cardoso doesn't have an economics degree, infact he did most of his studies on public administration, public administration has nothing to do with economics.

And yes, I will not appoint someone with his experience and educational qualification as CBN governor. In countries with economic structures, yes, but in an economically disorganized country like Nigeria, he is not fit.

What was soludo experience before becoming governor? Cardoso is the most experienced gov since 1999

Looks like Emeka Nnamani isn't destined for any political post in Abia State. Tilhe last time he won, I think it either Nkechi Nwaorgu abi Blessings Nwagba that got him disqualified for certificate forgery.
Now,he went back to school and has acquired the said certificate but failed to quash the subsisting judgement that placed a 10 year ban on his political aspirations.
I suggest he relocates back to Enugu state and try his luck over there.
His father owns the Magnificent Enitoma hotel at Margaret Avenue, leading to PZ industry.

Alex Ikwechegh,onye ocha na Aba,(a white man in Aba),was the youngest local government chairman in Abia,back the. Aba North local government. He was appointed as such under Orji Uzor Kalu's administration. A very kind and jovial guy.
We hope he does something urgent on the Eziama/Nweke axes. Bad spots there.

Is ikwechegh from aba

Svoboda:
Awka at best. Awka has never had it before. I just want the status quo unchanged. Moreover, i i like apga locally.

Honestly,anything but pdp.rather than pdp winning anambra,let apga hold sway but apc is damn too weak in anambra.enugu apc is even trying

donphilopus:
Lol. You're sounding funny. During the last general elections, the two major parties (APC and PDP) got 197k votes in the east, 127k in the west and 104k in the central for the senatorial seats. Kogi eastern votes almost doubled that of central. You can check online. Ebiras don't have much votes compared to the Igalas.

If the election is conducted fairly and it goes tribal, there's no way Ododo would win the election even if the Igalas decide to give Muri just 60-65% of their votes.

The way Yahaya Bello has thugs is the same way Muri has. Bello can't intimidate him with thugs. So many people have been protesting against Muri and SDP, you can't tell me the presidency isn't aware. But they've not made any statement yet. Don't be surprise to see the military not doing Bello's bidding on election day. I was told Muri singlehandedly sponsored Tinubu's campaign in Kogi whereas Bello refused to step down for Tinubu during the primaries. Have you forgotten that he angrily stormed out of northern APC governors' meeting some days to the primaries when he was asked to allow the ticket come to the south?

Honestly,you are right.the way the sdp thugs are matching apc thugs is suspicious plus you know tinubu and bello don't see eye to eye.tinubu also has shares in sdp.as far as ajaka decamps to apc later there's no way.the mantra is anybody but dino...

I'll like you to be close to oshiomhole and get whatever you can.the man will obviously control Edo politics for the next 8 years and possibly another 8 years so it's better you join him than wait endlessly.
From the esakhaigbe panel,it seems the ticket is between sen okpebholo and col imuse

donphilopus:
Lol boss. Let me simplify your statement. In this era of BVA's, Okene would struggle to get 50k votes. In the case of southeast and southwest, we all know the westerners are liberal and don't give bloc votes but in most cases the votes they give to their own would dwarf the bloc votes their opponent's region would give their own. If Muri gets 60% in his eastern district, while Ododo, Dino and others share the remaining 40%, Muri would still be in the race.

As for the other Ebira speaking people in the western part of the state, the Koton Karfe, they don't have the number. If the Ebira Opete's (Ebira in Kogi Central) truly believe there are other Ebiras in Kogi State (Koton Karfe), why didn't Yahaya Bello give them ticket? Why would he give the ticket to someone from the central? They only remember that the Koton's are Ebira when they need their votes. After getting their votes, they forget they are Ebiras lol. They may get disappointed this time bro.

As for Edo State APC affairs, I've since removed mind. Oshiomhole is in charge. He should do whatever he likes. Anenih did and today he's no more. Oshiomhole should enjoy while it lasts.

During the 2023 polls with bvas,okene still had the highest votes though east had 20k more votes than central.with ebiras seeing it at a do or die affair,it will be equal plus the rigging antics of bello.but let's assume igala outnumber ebira votes by 20k during the polls,apc will win lokoja federal constituency heavily against sdp cancelling out the diff.they will also win sdp heavily in the 5 okun lgas thereby establishing a lead.
Ofcourse bello will turn the east to a battle ground as usual targeting dekina and ankpa to reduce their turnout.apart from that apc is very solid in the east and the igalas are not acrrying the matter on their head.kogi west will give apc victory just like tinubu used core north to win obi...

After ododo finished his 8 years,it will go to the ebiras in western kogi

Svoboda:
I want soludo to win 2nd term so it can then come back to my zone, central and then we can take it from there.

Oh,your from anambra central.since ngige hails from idemili and obi from AND axis,it is the turn of awka axis or worst case idemili.

magoo10:
For the same offense tinubu committed.

Tinubu own wasn't proven and was commenced late in the day

Svoboda:
Your analysis is right. I like the way you back up geography with politicians. Thought hope and rochas reconciled.


In anambra, ubah will outsmart ngige, unless ngige teams with soludo. Ifeanyi ubah is soludos biggest headache.

True.ubah will divide anambra south with soludo.ngige should rest.ubah needs a very popular running mate from north or central.he must look beyond APC
I don't know what's happening between Roch and hope but I know ohakim is with him.i sent you a mail

That ikwechegh guys father was a military gov in imo in those days. I used to admire him in his crispy white navy uniform a lot as a boy then.

helinues:
Apc rigging was mostly by voter's suppression most especially in the north and some part of Souther region. All those buried PVCS na ahead rigging .

I watched the interview of Datti's elder brother talking specifically about the current situation on ground but he refused to mention the party involved

Apc didn't rig in the north or suppressed votes abeg except in ss

Svoboda:
Hope is playing the victim card right now. It might work in his fav. A lot of imo people would also want to concede the next 4 yrs to him so he can carry his wahala and go. Beyond that, hope is an enforcer and has been in the rigging game since pdp. The opposition is split and he has also reconciled with some of his foes, which might be why he has dropped his dep. Dont forget how strong his orlu zone is. This will all contrive to work in his favour.

In kogi, the ebira is planning bloc votes. I dont know, but i have a sneaky feeling apc will win. Yahaya inflated the voting populations in okehi and okene to match those of the igala, so the kingmakers are the kogi west.

Fubara has a new cp to work with. Wike has no influence over disu. Fubara should crawl close to the people and tinubu for his own political survival.

Some people close to aso rock wants hope to be dealt with.hope must fight alone.he needs to adopt carrot and stick approach.obi campaigning in imo has made it harder.he must adopt brutality for areas that are against him,buy votes heavily,induce voters,low turnout.apart from achonu area,most parts of okigwe will vote hope actually.people like tony chukwu,Miriam onuoha,chike okafor,ohakim etc will support him.i don't know of araraume.he will have issues in ideato because of rochas and hon ikenga.he will have in NINN axis because of hon onyereri and hon ugonna ozuruigbo ..he will inflate votes in orlu axis since he has bought over alagbaoso.uju Kingsley might give issues in oguta
Owerri won't vote hope same as ikeduru.i don't know where mbaise stands but there are anti apc.ngor okpala and mbaitoli are up for grabs..

The 4 mainstream ebira lgas will match dekina,ankpa,idah,ofu,omala,ibaji...igalamela,bassa, olamaboro will divide votes.ododo will win one of them.apc votes in lokoja axis will be the decider as I don't see sdp getting votes outside east.if they get bloc in kogi east,they won't get the spread.

Ngige is struggling to be anambra apc leader with sen ubah
