MayorofLagos: APGA has no presidential candidate.......Who else would thry endorse beside Jonathan?

Election after election Ibos descend from bad to worse on the political landscape. While minorities are encouraging their sons to stand up and join in the political struggle, Ibo is telling their sons to sit down and fall behind a minority candidate.

Ibo sufferhead in this obodo must continue.

All these trash just because Igbos refused to lick Ab0ki and coward nyaash abi?

Rexxie: #FORWARD EVER....

nairaman66: Nope! But na your moniker divide them!

barcanista: its not about you but Þhe admin. Its election year and I think the AÐmin should start giving prefereN©e to political thread rather than sÓme irrelevant topix

No vex for my hard response, NOW I UNDERSTAND.

mikeansy: GEJ till 2019

When heretic like me say this then expect 100% vote for GEJ in Igbo land

My vote is a vote for rejection of terrorism as an election weapon

Those who think they can low the nation into submission should be told they have failed!!!!!

You're on point.

nairaman66: Common man, PDP is already a divided party!

Na you divide them?

priscaoge: So shall it be!!!!!!

AMEN.

.

barcanista: I am begining to suspect the way this forum is being run. Pro-PDP and Jonathan threads quickly hit FP in record time even when the content is unverified but proAPC and unfavorable Jonathan/pdp threads are usually left to rotten in politics section even when the are rich in content. The people incharge clearly do not hide their partisanship to say the least. Anyway, nairaland is not a public owned forum so I think I have to right to question its modus operandi


Too bad

You can go and sleep if you don't have any positive contribution to the topic. Do you know how many of my front page worthy topics that was ignored? In fact, this topic is my first thread to hit front page this August.
Can you imagine.

JayJohnson: Must you always curse people when they make their opinions without abusing or cursing you first?

Buhari mumu no be small.

tuasefemi: Nonsense! It's people like you and few other gullible low life Nigerians that think no1 can withstand GEJ. ln an ideal society where people don't chose their leaders based on sentiments, the councillor in my street will defeat GEJ hands down!

What are you waiting?

danot1030: All the PDP hypocrites on NL that accused Tinubu and APC for imposing candidates can now see that their PDP is nothing better. I even read someone post that there is no credible person better than Jonathan. Does it mean such a poster assumed that of the 150millions we are in Nigeria Jonathan is d only credible person to rule? Emphatical NO, I disagree with him, we have people who are more credible in dis country than Jonathan. People should be allowed to contest at the primary. Without fear of discrimination I will submit that with all the great men and women from igbo land, this line of thought still remain the reason why they have not produce the president for this nation cos they always accepts that they they are meant to follow and never lead, they have always be at d forefront of promoting any other person but not an igbo man.

FOOOOOL, if Igbo's refusal to present candidate is your problem, which candidate your rapistt tribe has put forward?

AhmedB: APC all the way

Sorry for you.

Emmalot121: What is this bonehead saying?Fvck off !!!A.sshole.

nairaman66: I think if he consent to primaries he would loose! Remember what happened at the governor's forum?

Mind you, Governors forum is a multi party affair. Don't compare it with a party primary.

Emmalot121: I watched on Channels TV,when an old woman like you was blowing grammar at the TAN support gathering in Rivers as if dem no send am until the MC came to her rescue .
The topic was passing across to you that PDP wants to boycott the primary election and you are writing that you are sure he's gonna win primary election.How do they correlate ?What a waste of space in the front page which a sensible person would have used to pass better views.

Then why are you here.

teeo: Bros which US ooo.

That's how it's practiced in USA, let me ask you, who contested the primary with Obama in last election.?

The Chairman now speaking to the supporters, confirming the endorsement.

Ahead of the 2015 general elections, the All Progressives Grand Alliance has offered automatic tickets to President Goodluck Jonathan and Victor Umeh.

Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State disclosed this on Saturday in Awka where a mega-rally was held to urge Jonathan to seek re-election as President.

Obiano however said the party’s candidates for all other elective positions would be determined through primaries.

While Jonathan has the party’s presidential ticket; Umeh, APGA’s national chairman, will fly the party’s banner in the Anambra Central Senatorial election.

Umeh said APGA had gone into an accord with the Peoples Democratic Party to support Jonathan for the presidential election.

Former Anambra State Governor, Mr. Peter Obi, was absent at the rally. But Obiano said Obi got permission to travel to the United States to attend the World Igbo Congress.

Former Senate President, Ken Nnamani and former PDP national women’s leader, Mrs. Josephine Anenih, presented solidarity messages at the rally.

ziky2010: Old news

Old bitter pill.

The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party is contemplating fielding President Goodluck Jonathan as its sole candidate for the 2015 presidential primaries, Saturday PUNCH has learnt.

The thinking within the top echelon of the party is that the party would emulate the United States democracy where the right of first refusal is usually given to the President.

Already, some members of the National Working Committee of the party were said to have favoured the arrangement, which would see Jonathan emerge as the sole candidate of the party.

According to the timetable for 2015 elections released by the Independent National Electoral Commission, conduct of parties’ primaries will commence on October 2, 2014 and end on December 11, 2014.

The Chairman of the PDP Board of Trustees, Chief Tony Anenih, had at a dinner for the party members in Abuja in May 2013 advocated automatic ticket for the President and governors, who had performed.

He had said, “I do not see anything wrong, if the PDP considers automatic tickets for the President and its governors who have performed well and are seeking for a second term.

“It is my view that with the outstanding performance of President Jonathan in the areas of power, rail and water transportation, road construction, aviation reforms, education, agriculture, job creation, etc., the party should not find it difficult in granting him the opportunity to serve a second term, if he so desires.”

A PDP chieftain, who asked not to be named, told Saturday PUNCH during the week that the National Chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Adamu Mua’zu, had been holding secret meetings with some stakeholders to ensure that Jonathan emerges as the consensus candidate of the party.

A PDP chieftain said, “Mua’zu will soon put a committee in place to prevail on presidential aspirants on the party’s platform from the North to wait till 2019, when Jonathan’s planned second term tenure would have ended.

“Mua’zu wants Jonathan to emerge as the party’s consensus candidate so that a Northerner can be elected President in 2019 to spend two terms.

“Though the President has not declared his intention to seek re-election, his body language is indicating that he will soon seek Nigerians’ mandate for second term in office.

“Even with the way some groups have been mobilising support for him, one is convinced that Jonathan will soon emerge as the PDP consensus candidate.”

However, some of the NWC members were said to have argued that there was nothing wrong in allowing other aspirants to pick forms, which, they said would give a resemblance of transparency in the process.

Apart from this, it was also gathered that the NWC members said throwing the process open would bring money into the purse of the party.

When contacted, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief Olisa Metuh, told one of our correspondents that the party had not decided on the matter.

He also said it would be wrong to assume what the party would do until it calls for nomination.

He said, “How do we know if the President will be the sole candidate when we have not called for nomination?

“We will call for nomination and anyone who picks the form will be free to contest. For now, we cannot say who will be the aspirants.”

Efforts to seek reactions of the President’s Senior Special Adviser on Political Affairs, Prof. Rufai Alkali, did not succeed as calls to his mobile telephone did not go through.

But the Chairman, Mobilisation and Organisation Committee, South-West of the PDP, Mr. Buruji Kashamu, said the party would not impose any consensus presidential candidate on the people.
