What is personal ambition in trying to bring people together to rescue the country from criminals?

So, if Buhari comes out to contest, it is personal ambition but if someone else contests it is not personal ambition...

What are you looking for in a president? The current order or a complete change from the current way of leadership?

These guys have come together to change the current order and bring about sanity in governance. Buhari represents sanity in governance whether the OP is objective enough to know this or not and the reason you have not seen him taking up political positions. And where ever you see him, he has a mission unlike the other political jobbers whose desire is more and more money.

I am in the south here and we will do everything possible to ensure principled people takes over governance in 2015 regardless of where they come from.

The same useless government that can give VP N16B for a new house, N4B for Patience recklessness house, etc does not have money to give to teachers.

Igbos and Yorubas, who has more criminals and criminal tendency ? The correct answer is obviously Yorubas.

Who runs 99.9% of those Churches? Correct answer , Yorubas.

If you can't contribute positively to the topic, just shut your warped mouth.

solomon111: mimiko is probably the best governor in the SW,all things being equal.
Which is why he won a land-slide victory in ondo.

Mimiko the best governor in SW? Who told you that or you saw it in your dream?

That clueless Mimiko supporting a clueless president against the interest of Yorubas - he will see wen.

Acecube: Jonathan having selfish interest or not, bottom line is Anambrans have a better candidate in SOLUDO

So, Soludo is a better candidate because he is in APGA?

The last time he contested in PDP he wasn't a better candidate.

If he had joined APC, I am sure the tribalists will not him as a better candidate.

Sincere 9gerian: By MAXWELL ODITTA


If feelers from the Presidency are anything to go by, the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Anambra State would retain the governorship seat in the state in the election slated for this October.

In the intricate political trappings, former Central Bank Governor, Professor Charles Soludo, is said to have been pencilled down to contest under the banner of APGA, and he would be supported by the political machine of President Goodluck Jonathan.

Soludo, a new defector to APGA, was the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra 2010 election. He finished third in that contest behind Governor Peter Obi of APGA and Dr. Chris Ngige of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).

However, as in 2010, Soludo is said to be the favoured candidate of President Jonathan. He is said to have been encouraged by the president and his wife, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, to pitch tent with APGA since the sitting governor, Obi, is outgoing.

This political underplay is said to be against the backdrop of reports available to top political associates of President Jonathan and the Wadata House, the PDP National Secretariat, that the ruling party in the country is no longer popular in Anambra State because of a decade-long leadership crisis in the state chapter of the party which has attracted multiple court cases.

Though the crisis appears to have been largely resolved, the party is still bifurcated along the lines of loyalty to the two contending state chairmen of the party.

“The activities of the Ubas, especially Chief Chris Uba who unleashed mayhem on the state capital, Awka, in 2004 and 2005, have not endeared the PDP to the people of the state. Today, Chris’ big brother Emmanuel Nnamdi (Andy) is a governorship aspirant of the PDP and there is serious doubt that he would emerge victorious at the close of day,” said a PDP source.

Daily News watch learnt that unless for last minute manoeuvring against him, Andy Uba is likely to emerge the flag-bearer of the PDP in the state governorship election.

Andy Uba, a former Senior Special Assistant on Domestic Affairs to Obasanjo, is said to have been favoured to fly the PDP flag in Anambra guber contest as part of an earlier rapprochement between President Jonathan and Obasanjo.

Uba and 16 other aspirants, including perennial contestants, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu and Dr. Alex Obiogbolu, were cleared by the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) to contest the governorship primaries of the party.

Uba, whose election on PDP platform in April 2007 was nullified by the Supreme Court in Obi’s tenure interpretation case, was denied the PDP governorship ticket in 2010. He vied on the platform of Labour Party, while Soludo was the PDP candidate.

The biggest headache now for the highly influential Uba brothers, especially Andy, is how to upstage APGA in the governorship duel, with the recent reconciliation of Governor Obi and the APGA National Chairman, Chief Victor Umeh.

The Jonathan circle, it was learnt, sold the choice of Soludo to Umeh, Obi and wife of late Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu, Mrs. Bianca Ojukwu, who is Nigeria’s Ambassador to Spain. However, Soludo himself played very important role in the reconciliation of Obi and Umeh.

Indeed, Soludo is not without opponents in APGA, notwithstanding the affirmation of his candidature by the president’s circle. His most credible adversary is Prince John Emeka, a former senator and one-time Minister of State for Transport who hails from Anambra North, from where Obi has always said the next governor would emerge. Another such opponent is the House of Representatives member, Mrs. Uche Ekwunife, a thorough-going grassroots political crusader.

But Daily News watch learnt that the fear in APGA circles is that should Soludo emerge as governor, he might ultimately decamp to the PDP, to support Jonathan’s re-election bid.

But a member of the APGA NWC debunked this, saying: “What the Presidency is trying to do is reward Obi and Umeh for their loyalty by leaving them with the control of their home state. Unless you were endorsed by Obi and Umeh, it would be difficult for you to emerge in APGA or even win the governorship. Soludo has joined APGA for good and he would be no-one’s surrogate.”

Can someone tell me why GEJ should not be suspended by PDP for anti-party activities?

A PDP president supporting a governor of another party against the candidate of his own party. Or is PDP not contesting the same election? GEJ is too desperate for 2015 and will sacrifice anything for it.

Is presidency advising APC not to present Buhari so that PDP can be defeated in 2015?

These guys are too petty in their thinking to lead a country.

Matuidi: Christianity is a filthy ideology and its followers are misguided fools.

Not too difficult to understand - 99% of Igbos are xtians and an average Igbo is a criminal or has criminal tendency.

Killing will continue until 2015... It is all political.

Xtians have been killed and the government has benefited tremendously from it by posing as a protector of xtians. Now it is time to make it look like government is protecting the muslims by sponsoring touts to kill muslims behind the scenes and then sending soldiers to protect the mosques/muslims thereby making muslims to see them as a protector of muslims. They will do anything because of 2015 and then pretend that they are gentlemen, they don't want trouble, they want peace, etc.

When the bubble busts, Nigerians and the entire world will be surprised.

Tell me

- why Azazi was removed from PDP government
- that they the death of Azazi in a military helicopter is an accident shortly after his sack from PDP government.
- what Azazi meant by PDP members are behind Boko Haram

Even in Mali, we don't see this kind of killings.

May God enable the disabled brains of Nigerians.

Sai Buhari - 2015 we must do it.

Stupid president... Akande should not talk and make his opinion known because of his age? Chairman of the leading opposition party.

Ranting of Akpu-head.

Igbos alone will re-elect GEJ in 2015 - you know over 75% of Nigerians are Igbos.

What does Orisejafor want? You want emergency to be declare anywhere a xtian is killed including Abuja? Or you want US to come and occupy Nigeria?

This daily ranting and noise wont take us anywhere. Why not leave the government alone and allow it to do its job? Are muslims not killed in the north?

Was it CAN that helped the then government defeated Mintasini or what do they call them?

Why does today's CAN has to create tension and division in the name of supporting xtians?

Buhari/Fashola wont be a bad idea...

Afam4evaIsASlut: Dude, you need to go back to school!

Which one is "Indicated to speak"?! You mean "Intended"?

And what the fxcuk is "Speach"? Wetin be "sideline meetings" and how the hell do you know he went to "ease" himself when hes already told the world he was in an "important" meeting with another Head Of State?

Too many gaddamn bloody illiterates in that fxcuking country thats why I hate that society because it has refused to educate her citizens which in turn ended up breeding so many ignorant talking donkeys especially in the Northern and Eastern Regions.

GBAM!!! GBAM!!! GBAM!!!

South West is delivering dividends of democracy through ACN (APC). I pity those villagers in SE/SS still languishing under pdp rule.

Join APC today and get liberated...

That is ibos for you... give an ibo a house, he will make trouble in the house and disturbing other tenants with those smelly watery village soups. So, don't give your house to anything ibo.

Employ ibo as head of a section in your organization, he will look for ways to sack people from other region under him to employ villagers from his region. So, don't make a mistake of employing anything ibo into your company or help him into any company.

I know there are exception - I am assisting one with a job in Lagos now but I had to fight myself to do it. My mind is made up against ibo.

jp philips: Imagine Obama Barak, asking Hilary Clinton or John Kerry to read his speech in an UN summit, are you okay??
so what was Mazi Jonathan doing at the time? sleeping??
do you even realize how much we spend on those people aka presidential entourage?
after chopping food worth billions of Naira, he goes to ordinary AU summit to cut liver and you are not ashamed to justify it?
i ve been watching you closely, you sound worse than beaf of the blessed memory, in your own case, you lack common sense on top of your stup!d!ty,
double tragedy indeed!!

Brother, it is a waste of time responding to insincere9gerian - stop responding to him. He can't and he wont change until Jonatan is chased out of Aso rock.

Gba won da nu... Sweep them away.

Guys, I am already buying brooms to use starting next year because broom will be very expensive as 2015 draws closer.

Mr Jona Jananjanan, you are a rogue... Tell us how you won the election.

You are not the chairman of NGF... stupid impostor.

PDP of all parties?

Ipinle Osun ko ni ba je oooo. Ogbeni Aregbesola ride on please.

Long live ACN! long live APC! Long live ipinle Osun.

I am for up rooting of boko haram or whatever they call themselves.

But guys, how do we get their sponsors who are probably big wigs in PDP?

If the sponsors are still there, they will always find other idle hands to engage.
