WhizdomXX:
I swear the back stabbing from all sides on Wike was unimaginable from Borno to Benue to Ondo and then Sokoto, Imo, Anambra was bad.
Coming down to South-South, the three states bordering rivers all voted against Wike. What a cold world.

they knew wike is a bad candidate for PDP... Leave sentiments aside no sane person would want a wike ahead of Atiku for president

Chimaraymond455:
A fellow SS governor made sure that Nyesom Wike doesn't clinch the PDP ticket. ... This gov is Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta state who worked silently to stop Wike. And Okowa is justified for his action. I will explain why.

Wike has been a PDP man since 1998.
He knows Rotation is in his party's DNA.
He knows that if he and other Southern PDP leaders had insisted on Zoning to the SE, it would have happened. But Nyesom Wike diluted zoning for his own gain.

Nyesom Wike knew it was the turn of the SE, yet he betrayed the SE out of greed and selfishness. Twice, the SE had stood solidly with GEJ, SS & PDP. In fact South Easterners are hated so much by Buhari & APC because they gave support to GEJ, SS & PDP.

Now that the SE should be repaid by the SS, Nyesom Wike wouldn't allow it. And fellow SS Gov. Okowa, wasn't happy about it.

So Wike put his personal ambition ahead of the SE zone. Atiku offered to step down if PDP zoned to the South East. But personal ambition wouldn't allow Wike make that concession. So here we are, the whole South is at risk of political slavery.

Finally Wike talks about betrayal. Let it be known that it was Wike that betrayed the South. He is now acting as if he was in it for South. Which South?? His own part of the South produced the last PDP president; why didn’t he support a candidate from the South that hasn't produced a president before (SE).

Instead he was going round shouting ‘give me pawa’.
The South never adopted Wike as their presidential candidate. Instead, he used Rivers state funds & his grip on the PDP to force himself.

He hijacked PDP in the SE, created confusion which forced Peter Obi out of the party. Wike was very selfish. Some govs of SS worked against you, not against the region. You don’t represent the region. I stand with Gov. Okowa for stopping you.

My advise to Wike is to make amends with his brothers in the Southern PDP whom he offended. And redeem himself by supporting the SE.

how is it even the turn of south let alone South East... The last president under PDP is from South GEJ... since 1999 South has held power under PDP 13 years Obj 1999-2007 8 years... GEJ 2010-2015 5 years... yaradua who took over from obj spent 3 years 2007-2010... So why do u pple assume a Northerner shouldn't have contested under PDP??... When it's clear na Northerner supposed contest under PDP... As for APC since pmb has held power 2015-2023 it's logical for APC candidate to come from the south...

Frigga13:
Collecting 1k for pvc.. their own Dey always different..

Power to the people
North 2023

keep shouting North... The people doing the registration and collecting the monies are Igbos... But u want to blame outsiders same way you guys blame fulani for the insecurity in your region

speaktome:
This is really great!

If you chose to use this as a data, it reveals to you why Nigeria is the way it is. This list is 100% Southern Nigerians, yet politics in my country is dominated by quacks from another region leading the technocrats. We don't even get the best of the region.

What do i even know...

tell them to go to southern Nigeria and build up their regions premium bigot

Urheadmaster:
Why

If the government really care about us, they don't have to wait for someone to protest before they take action

he is a lawmaker and part of govt he should go to the national assembly floor and do his job not this washy protest he is doing...

Armaggedon:
Nigeria army has no power to invite anyone for questioning.
If they succeded in beheading him like they did to the Anambra lawmaker and army couple in Imo,there would have been no one to tell the story. Gutter media, BMC lunatics and fulani slaves would be blaming IPOB.

who killed Dr Chike Akunyili?
who killed Ahmed Gulak?
who beheaded Anambra lawmaker?
Nigeria army and DSS must answer these questions.

continue shielding Ipob terrorists and criminals like nnamdi Kanu Simon ekpa Dem... You people would live in self denial and deceit when it's clear that this kidnapped was done by insiders network in Igboland... Every crime now is fulani cos that's the easiest name to call...

festacman:
I would rather that APC conducts proper primary to reflects the values of democracy.

Interestingly, the irony in the Pres. Buhari's reciprocity clause is the following:
The BIG MAN who for years has been determining the political career of other people will have the most crucial point in his political career determined by another person.

I don't know if this is karma or fate.

I am sure most of his former acolytes like Banire, Afikoyomi, Sarah Sosan, Mamora, GUS Solomon, Ambode, Aregbesola, etc who lost out through his political decisions will be beaming with smiles.

I hope this ambition won't destroy Tinubu like it did to MKO Abiola because Jagaban doesn't look like someone who is ready for any reciprocity bullsh*t.

where was democratic values when fashola was annioted by tinubu in 2007.... Who knew zulum when shetima nominated him... Didn't they win and did well... If tinubu isn't president would the world end?

wpadmin:
If Buhari is going to choose, I believe it's Osibanjo.

Buhari trusts Osibanjo more. They have worked together for the past 8 years. He may also think that Osibanjo will do whatever the North wants him to do - This thinking may be wrong though.

If APC fields Osibanjo, I doubt if PO has a chance. It will be a tough competition.

Peter Obi won't even win anambra self so how is he a contenders self... Let's serious here like wike Said... Atiku or APC candidate to emerge ll be next president... Except u want to live in mirage thinking social media buzz can push Obi

kenex4ever:
Guy, you are already cursed for quoting the wrong person.

You dont just generalize that every Igboman is pro IPOB. Please take note of my username and never quote me again. Your hate for Igbo people will only lead to your miserable end, so I advise you to change your ways.

continue supporting terrorists ok... Ipob doesn't represent Igbos... Your support for Ipob terrorists ll consume u nonsense

KosiGee:
Rev Abidemi Shittu and one Rev Dennis Mark were also kidnapped. Did you see the names?

I’m sure Abidemi Shittu isn’t an Igbo name…maybe someone like you should interview him and disprove the lies of the man narrating and claiming it was Fulanis that shot at and kidnapped them.

where were they kidnapped? So fulani just suddenly target. Methodist oga without info... Abeg spare me these cock and bull narratives

kenex4ever:
If anything I typed there is with intention to lie or deceive the public, may I be unfortunate and miserable in this life. If I have said the truth to the best of my knowledge, I curse you to be miserable and unfortunate in your remaining life time.

you ll remain unfortunate cos u guys in Igbo land like to lie to yourself.. continue let rag tag Ipob and esn continue to damage your society

kenex4ever:
Guy, the incident happened in my village. Infact the prelate grew up in my village because that is his mother's home.

He visits there regularly, he was leaving my village to Leru junction through where they call Ndiawa. The incident happend at Ndiawa-Lomara road. That place has a huge cattle market very close to it along PH -Enugu expressway.
The kidnapping by those Fulani guys has been ongoing there for over a year now. I drove through that road on May 3rd and I was so afraid.

Funny enough there is an army check point close to their kidnap point there.

U mentioned UGM, for the records, there has never been any incident of UGM in that my village area, and that place used to be very peaceful. Those Fulani guys have been selling cows in that market for many years.

That's where we buy cow meat since time immemorial before some bad egg fulani guys joined them recently. Now there is a serious plan to close down the market because of this incident involving a prominent person.

continue lying to yourself suddenly fulani know prelate right no insider work... You guys are dangerous liars that's why Ipob is killing your people in South East...

gidgiddy:
Of course. If they had said it was IPOB that did the kidnapping, long time this would have hit front page

who else did it if not Ipob...

helinues:
Fulani herdsmen had the itinerary of the kidnapped priest to the extent he was picked after leaving airport.

Same troubled SE with UGM everywhere.

Okay we have read

they want to deceive themselves... They should continue shielding Ipob pigs

helinues:
Another wack analysis by Farooq, professor of controversy

They have all been shouting cabal cabal without mentioning a single name, it simply means the cabals are just imaginary set of people

u de mind them na people wey no fit think de follow kperogi... I thought they said buhari is lame duck shebi de can see how he is calling the shots as party leader...

MikoB:
He is going to win for sure, I never had any doubt about this from the beginning,the primary is just going to be a formality, the real deal is done many months ago.

there won't be primaries convention is just to endorse a consensus candidate... Osinbajo is the best bet for APC to retain power he is easily sellable...

Esseite:
Great, thats your personal conviction for now.. but majority including myself have decided to opt for better leadership that guarantees a better tomorrow tested and trusted.. i hope you see reason to join us. Its for our greater good.

Vote right, Vote Labour, Vote Peter Obi..

osinbajo is my candidate the moment APC pick him I am campaigning for him... I hope you see reason with that too...

Esseite:
They are at the negotiating table again, postulating on who would lead you and my self.. if they were capable, we wont have gone from bad to worse as they are all leaders in the Nigeria of today...

What other Good could can they provide or do we expect from them?.. did they save any good for later?

Vote right, Vote Labour, Vote Peter Obi...

PDP or APC will produce next president...

helinues:
But it happened before the Apc convention. Were you the one in charge then?

you de mind am...

WATCHOVER:
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY INJUSTICE TO THE NORTH, IS IT SOUTH THAT KILLED THEIR BROTHER YARADUA? WERE THEY NOT THE ONES WHO TROUBLED YARADUA BECAUSE HE GAVE AMNESTY TO M E N D the militia group from NIGER DELTA? IF THEY HAD ALLOWED JONATHAN FINISH HIS TERM THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONES RULING IN THE PDP.

Jonathan Lost elections... Abi u thought Nigeria presidency is his father's house now that atiku got the ticket go hit your head on the wall... PDP ticket to a Northerner if they win then the south can get ticket...

WATCHOVER:
Sometimes I wonder how most of you think and take

there are over 300 tribes up north stop assuming the North is only Hausa again it ll be injustice for PDP to ticket 2023 to have gone to the south since the last president under PDP was GEJ from the south...

WATCHOVER:
Who told you Atiku won because of Dollars? Atiku won because of Tribalism played by Tambuwa

tribalism kee Ina there Dem tel u say na one tribe de North... U really expect PDP to win elections with a garrulous wike... If wike like let him go live in Lagos Atiku ll still pull weight

Britishcoins:
Missed priority... Will renaming it add value to already messed up Nigeria education sector.. Will it stop ASSU STRIKE.
I do pity youths who puts all their energy to attend education in Nigeria with hope of getting job...

I will advice people to learn skills and attend to education later...

I am waiting for APC to finish their own primary election and denied South Eastern candidates...

That is when I will support every actualization of Biafra..
Nigeria is messed up...

what's your business with a State University when u finish taking Meth you ll be disturbing people with your nonsense of biafra...

stanluiz:
Stay in pdp to do what ?

What igbos need is president not Vice president. Since PDP has giving a northerner their ticket. Then Obi should also leave.

Pdp does not have the interest of the South East. I now see the reason why governor Umahi leave the party.

umahi is Very foolish he ll go into Oblivion by the time PDP wins ebonyi 2023... U Igbos should stop acting like na only Ina be tribe for Nigeria.. we have over 300 tribes in Nigeria.... And presidency isn't a gift or turn by turn issue u have to be popular aside qualified to win it... Anything else is useless noise

vicdom:
Don't mind the guy, he's always biased in his analysis. I'm sure he will soon arrive to tell you how this permutations has favoured Wike. He wants an easy ride for his party, APC.

PDP would be stupid to hand over ticket to wike... His comedic tirades should be reserved for Rivers people Nigeria doesn't need it... If PDP want a southern candidate udom Emmanuel of Akwa ibom is there or they could have picked Peter Obi...

garfield1:
ABIA

The political romance between Governor Okezie Ikpeazu and Wike seems to have secured the state for the Rivers State governor. He may get the votes 100%.



ADAMAWA

For Atiku Abubakar, whose political homestead is Adamawa, he is still in firm control with Governor Umaru Fintiri looking helpless to assist his new found friend, Wike.

The alternative for Fintiri is to lose his second term mandate if he sticks to Wike, who has made many shuttles to Adamawa to whittle down Atiku’s influence.



AKWA IBOM

Despite the fact that Governor Emmanuel Udom of Akwa Ibom is a presidential aspirant, his limited first timer impact has made him susceptible to alliance or a bargain for the office of Vice President under Atiku’s presidency. When the chips are down, it was gathered that the state’s delegates may vote for Atiku whose allies are many in Akwa Ibom.

The way and manner Wike rides South-South governors roughshod had been a setback for Wike in his zone.

ANAMBRA

The atmosphere in Anambra was cloudy but Atiku and Tambuwal are now believed to be ahead of other aspirants. Apart from being a son-in-law, Atiku has had a robust political history with Anambra, having chosen Chief Ben Obi and Peter Obi from the state as running mates in 2007 and 2019 respectively.

Wike’s coordinators in the state (Chief Chris Uba and ex-Minister Stella Oduah) have not been cooperating such that none of them could boast of 10 per cent of the 21 delegates from the state.

BAUCHI

Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed wears the toga of a beautiful bride because of the limited scope of his presidential aspiration campaign nationwide.

He controls 100 per cent of the votes in Bauchi which he could swing in favour of either Atiku or Wike.



Supporters of the Rivers State governor boasted yesterday that the state has been for him. Unknown to many, Atiku and Bala have had series of discussions in the past few weeks.



A source said the Bauchi governor was holding the ticket in trust for Wike.

BAYELSA

Having lost some oil wells to Rivers State, most Bayelsans (with the exception of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan and family) do not support the presidential aspiration of Wike.



The political mentor in the state, ex-Governor Henry Seriake Dickson, prefers Atiku to Wike who had disdain for him as a colleague. Bayelsa is certain for Atiku.

BENUE

The political alliance between Governor Samuel Ortom and Wike is infectious.

Without batting an eyelid, Ortom will deliver Benue State votes to Wike.

BORNO

The PDP is fizzling out in Borno, but it remains the natural habitat of presidential aspirant Hayatudeen, who is from the state. He is sure of 100% control of his state’s delegates.

CROSS RIVER

Wike is firmly rooted here, having played a significant role in the election of Senator Sandy Onor as the governorship candidate of PDP in the state.

One of the key leaders in the state, ex-Governor Donald Duke, has been part of the campaign train of Wike.

With his anointed candidate as the governorship flag bearer for 2023 poll, ex-Governor Liyel Imoke has no better choice than to help Wike who has been there for Onor.

DELTA



Delta has always been a safe political haven for Atiku with the influence of heavyweights like ex-Governor James Ibori.

Moved by the prospect of being a Vice President, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa may lead Delta delegates to Atiku.

EBONYI

Barring last minutes horse-trading, it is payback time for a former President of the Senate, Anyim Pius Anyim in Ebonyi State where he has worked hard to sustain the unity of the party following the exit of Governor Dave Umahi to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Anyim, who was one of the early birds in the presidential aspiration, refused to defect to APC despite juicy offers. But it is doubtful whether the glory of his Senate presidency can fetch him much goodwill this time around.

EDO

With Thursday’s judgment of the Federal High Court Abuja which affirmed the authenticity of the primaries conducted by the National Vice Chairman (South-South) of PDP, Dan Orbih in Edo State, Wike is poised to harvest all the delegates from State.

Governor Godwin Obaseki lost out. PDP has returned to original members in the state as against defectors led by Obaseki. Besides delegates, all candidates elected by Obaseki’s faction during parallel primaries cannot contest on the platform of the PDP in the 2023 polls.

Until now, Atiku and Saraki were expecting to haul the votes of delegates from Edo State on account of the face-off between Obaseki and Wike.

EKITI

Most aspirants have not bothered much about Ekiti State delegates owing to the larger-than-life influence of Wike’s close ally, ex-Governor Ayo Fayose.

The votes from Ekiti State are taken for granted for Wike notwithstanding the aged political ties between the Sarakis and the influential Senator Abiodun Olujimi.

ENUGU

Delegates from Enugu State are strongly believed to pick between Atiku and Wike. But going by the permutations of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi bagging vice presidency, Atiku appears sure bet for the state.

Yet Ugwuanyi shares the same passion for power shift to the South with Wike.

GOMBE

In Gombe State, the spirit of PDP is ex-Governor Hassan Dankwambo who does not hide his preference for Wike. Had it been that Atiku’s ally, Senator Danjuma Goje returned to PDP, the calculation would have been in favour of Atiku. As it is now, Wike is having an edge among delegates in the state.

IMO

The situation is dicey in Imo State where it is a three-horse race by Tambuwal, Atiku and Wike.

A former governor of the state, Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, who controls the structure of the party and most of the delegates, is a die-hard loyalist of Tambuwal.



Being a former adviser to Atiku, it is not clear if the former governor can completely distance himself from the ex-Vice President.



The election of Wike’s political soul mate, Sen. Samuel Anyanwu as the National Secretary of PDP has led to a new power outlook with about six local governments conceded to Anyanwu.

However, Ikeduru local government, where Anyanwu comes from, is being controlled by Ihedioha. Atiku also has some good friends in Imo who can earn him votes. Ihedioha’s goodwill may fetch Tambuwal a marginal lead in Imo State.

JIGAWA

It is a straightforward race for Atiku in Jigawa State because of the staunch support of ex-Governor Sule Lamido, whose son (Mustapha Lamido) has emerged as the governorship candidate of the PDP in the state.



The Chairman of Jigawa State chapter of the PDP, Hon. Babandi Ibrahim Gumel, once said: “Atiku has no problem in Jigawa, especially that he is a friend to our leader (Lamido) and we understand that our leader has no problem with him.



“In 2019 when Atiku won election in Port Harcourt, our leader was a contestant, and immediately he gave directives to work for Atiku, we did our best.



“Jigawa State is for PDP, and we are ready to back any PDP candidate that wins the primary election and we hope that person would be Atiku.”

This looks a good terrain of the former Vice President whose associate, Isah Ashiru, has won the governorship ticket of PDP in the state.

But Saraki is pulling weight because of the alleged backing of a former National Chairman of PDP, ex-Governor Ahmed Makarfi.



KANO

Politics in Kano and Jigawa states has always been the same thread.

Atiku may still control most of Kano’s 44 delegates despite the order of Justice A.M Liman of the Federal High Court, Kano restraining the State Central Working Committee (CWC) of the Peoples Democratic party (PDP)from parading themselves as executives.

While a factional governorship candidate, Mohammed Abacha is for Wike, another governorship candidate, Sadiq Wali and his group are rooting for Atiku.



KATSINA

If any aspirant is more at home in Katsina State, it should be Atiku, because this is where he honed his political skill under the tutelage of the late Shehu Musa Yar’Adua.

For keeping faith with the Yar’Aduas, the people of Katsina have always identified with Atiku and today’s primaries won’t be an exception. But Wike is pulling some stunts which cannot be underrated.



KEBBI

Delegates from Kebbi State will be shared by Tambuwal, Atiku and Wike whos koe huge resources have helped him to have a strong showing in a difficult landscape.



KOGI

The battle in Kogi State is restricted to Wike, Atiku and Saraki. Of the 21 delegates from the state, Wike had secured 13 as at Thursday, leaving Atiku and Saraki to scramble for the remaining eight votes.

The strategic coordination by a former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Mohammed Bello Adoke (SAN) has changed the narrative for Wike in the state.



KWARA

Kwara State is a total gain for Saraki, who is trying to recapture the state from the APC. Saraki, as a leader whose premium on loyalty is higher, cannot get less than 100% in his domain.

Other aspirants are onlookers in Kwara State.



LAGOS

Lagos is split between Wike, Saraki and Atiku. Although Saraki supported Lagos4Lagos Movement coordinator, Olajide Adediran (Jandor), who is now PDP governorship candidate in the state, Governor Seyi Makinde ensured he got the party’s ticket to secure the state for Wike.

Some top PDP leaders in Lagos like Chief Olabode George and Doherty are for Wike. Atiku is no pushover in the state with his high network. A former minister, Abimbola Ogunkelu, is coordinating for Atiku.

Saraki, who married from the Ojora Royalty in Lagos, will also make an impact.



NASARAWA

Like a bulldozer, Wike seized the advantage of PDP’s absence from power in Nasarawa State to undercut Saraki there. Apart from producing the governorship candidate, David Ombugadu, Wike is in control of the structure of the party in the state.

In a fierce battle, Ombugadu, who is a former member of the House of Representatives, scored 247 votes to defeat Saraki’s ally, Maj-Gen. Nuhu Angbazo, who got 203.
