The process was inconclusive before the death of the flagbearer.
Yahaya was illegally imported to conclude the elections and inherit the votes.

He inherited votes yes, he stood the concluded part od election.
Apc had 6k plus votes during the bye-election.
Technically he contested, even though the bye-election waa inconsequential.

Sultty:
yahaya bello is also on the list. Tinubu played a major role

Which role did tinubu played?
James faleke that was abubakar audu's running mate lost out. They told him to be deputy to yahaya bello, he refused. He went back to the national assembly representing one fed constituency in lagos.

The logic then was since james didn't stand primaries and didnt buy form which is one of the criteria to be govr, he can't inherit the votes of his principal.
Yahaya bello bought form, contested at the primaries, he came a distance 3rd or so.
The person with the 2nd highest votes during the primaries had defected to another party, yahaya bello was the 3rd so he was drafted in.
Tinubu lost out.

tempest01:
Yahaya bello didn't contest too na.

This in my opinion was one of the most lawless action ever taken by INEC and co in the country, claiming necessity.

The most legal thing that ought to have been done in that scenario was to complete the postponed elections with the dead candidate since elections started before his death and then subsequently swear in the vice.

Yayaha bello contested, after the death of the original flag bearer and inec declaring the process inconclusive, yayaha bello was drafted in to replace him. He stood elections, had like 6k votes plus the inconclusive votes..

Miracle2022:
his statement may sound childish but that is the actual truth, we play very dirty politics in this country. This terrorism is apolitical , I can swear with my life that some politicians are the people sponsoring this terrorism.
NIGERIA IS NOT MATURED FOR DEMOCRACY!

Is ur life worth swearing with?

U no sabi say e get lives wey dibia dey reject..

Brendaniel:
well, for now I believe if the whole southern electorate agree to demand for a referendum, it will become inevitable for the north, I want a lasting solution and not a temporary one, I will rather go for a referendum demand as solution with sensitization as events unfold and I believe people in the south will begin to see reasons to join the movement, I was once against referendum and even strong supporter of Buhari but he really opened my eyes to see that Nepotism in Nigeria supersedes competence when it comes to the northern region, I am a Christian from the south east, I supported Buhari in 2015 not because of any gain, I just wanted a competent leader, but he proved me wrong( he was only going there because he wanted power to return to the north), even after he failed in his first term , I was expecting the northern region to join the south to vote for competence, but they also proved me wrong, that was when I knew the problem of Nigeria was not just bad leaders as I always thought but a regional Ideological problem, that was when I gave up on one Nigeria, I disliked Nnamdi Kanu before 2019 but I began seeing things differently, though I don't still support all his methods of approach, but I will rather go with a Biafra with Nnamdi Kanu than staying in a country with Buhari, It might be a harder approach to get a referendum but I will rather seek a referendum for a more lasting solution that future generations will be proud I did so...

There is no whole southern, we have SS, SE and the Slave west.

So dont even think of southern unity as long as Nigeria exist

Brendaniel:
It will only have very little effect, what we should be asking for is a referendum, that's what the electorate should demand from the politicians, Our regional ideologies are different, the moment someone begins to do the right thing according to your own regional perspective, another region who does not share the same ideology will become a problem to that leader and cycle goes on, why was Jonathan removed( because the north did not share the same ideology with him) though there was corruption in the same government he couldn't serve a second term, but can you compare what is happening now with what happened in Jonathan's time, yet Buhari has served 2 terms with worse performance because he shares the same ideology with the people who removed Jonathan, this shows you that getting presidency and retaining it in Nigeria is not about performance but nepotism because of regional ideological differences, look at what the north wants and look at what the south wants, they want shariah, hisbah police, almajiri system and so on, and look at what the south wants, it is like negative and positive...

Even the Bible says, can two people walk together except they agree, to walk means to move forward, naturally human beings do not walk backwards, now as a nation since independence it has been from one disagreement to counter disagreements that led to coups, counter coups and even the civil war and till date the ethnic genocide from Fulani herdsmen and so on, as long as that disagreement remains which stems from the ideology of the regions, Nigeria cannot walk, it is not a curse, except we agree as regions to share the same ideology which I don't see happening anytime soon, the fastest solution to move forward as a nation is breaking up the country into smaller nations that agree with themselves with the same ideology because they will be able to walk which is moving forward.

U should by now know how this country is..

The southerner may have a say but the northerners have their way.
Referendum isn't in our constitution, even if a southern senator brings it to rhe floor of senate for deliberations, it wont scale pass first reading.

The north have their mindset, the south is the only progressive region that wants growth but we r being slowed down by the north.

U can't ask for what it isn't on thetable.

What is on the table is power to come down south, who r the candidates, who is more competent not capacity..

We rally around, shove every wants of bag of rice and noodles asise and support him.
Any other thing na waste of time

Ebubu:
they’ve lost a strong man in the north. PDP can never win this election next year. Nigerians are yearning for an alternative but PDP is just not it

U know the problem with nigerians, we have conceptualise this STRONG MEN thing over COMPETENCE.

Buhari was a STRong man, only him could pull 13million vague votes in the North.

Tinubu another Strong man that controls the entire south west..

Kwankwaso a strong man that has cult like followership...

With buhari's strong fisted mien, he couldn't do nothing..
Corruption he was singing like wetin, he failed in tackling anything.
Insecurity people even voted for him to end, today the entire country is now engulfed in one form of crises or the other.

U see 2023 election, we need humane people, people with conscience, not Goliath or The Strongest Men in the country.

Nigeria is ebbing everyday without respite or something.. We need to get it right come 2023.

Brendaniel:
All these ones are jokers, they are still talking about 2023 when there is fire on the mountain, If you are a Nigerian and all you can talk about right now is 2023, then you are very far from reality, Nigeria is a failed British experiment that had no foundation, that's why no matter the effort people have put in to build the country, it has always failed.

You can't build on a house with no foundation...

So what should we be talking about?
Revolution
Protest that will lead to what?

Oga, there is only one thing to do now, act right come 2023.

So we need to start educating people on the voting the right candidates, candidates that don't see politics as a do or die game.
Candidates that don't see politics as war, but a call to service.

We need to sensitize citizens the need to partake in every elections and make sure they vote.
Votes count and votes determine who will lead us..
2023 is few months from now, if we dont prepare for it, we will be taken unawares and rushed into electing another idiots..

ednut1:
was in akwa ibom last week. Over 80% of lands bought there in 2 years were bought by igbos

Igbos don buy land, but not up to 80%.

Meanwhile i get land for sale around itam flyover if u know the axis.. Just by the road side.

Nice place to build shopping malls, office space etc.
Its 510square metres.

For over 7 years killings by bandits have occurred you never uttered a word or condemned it.

Now you are warming to take over(in your dreams) you are acting the movie of canceling you 82nd birthday and speaking out...

kolnel:
very bad development.
That's how the north destroyed the first rail tracks, just because they want to make money from trucking.
I blame Lord lugard for this.
The north is holding the country down.
The solution is for all regions to go their separate ways.

If the country breaks, where do u want tinubu to get his 12million votes from?

tekjansen2:
Yeah, but still, the North has to face these issues and deal with them

Otherwise a new set of bandits will arise when this lot has been dealt with

How much do zamfara generate outside faac?

How much does jigawa and other large states generate in the north?

If thenation now cripples and we now go our separate ways, can their internally generated revenue sustain them every month?

The root cause of the crises in northern part of Nigeria is population that doesn't add values to the economy.

Ones excessive marriages is curbed, and irresponsible men are dissuaded from marrying more than 1 wife and thereby procreating anyhow, the northern issues will take a new turn.

Am 37,no job, i won't go bring in a woman into the house and start impregnating her because i wan test my fertility.
I won't depend on govt or anybody for my children's welfare cos once they don't live up to ur expectations, frustration sets in...

tekjansen2:
1.No government has been able to eradicate crime. The Italian mafia...a bit like our bandits...are still active, and have been for over a century.

2.Eradicating banditry is going to take more than just sending in the army to beat them up.....we need things like good schools, good border control, a diversified economy, etc etc. We need changed mindsets, people doing their jobs, etc etc. All that does not fit on a campaign poster, and people want quick quick.


PS.


It is easy to defeat the bandits, but defeating the conditions that created them is another matter.

U r talking of good schools and all sorts.. Do we have good schools in southern Nigeria?
Are there indigenous bandits here exception of ipob which is the aftermath of govt insensitivity in handling issues...

North population is a serious concern that should be looked into.

U see kids marrying 3wives with no jobs all because religion permits.

Birth control should be a serious conversation in that part if we really want progress in this country.

Even as UAE and saudi is, they don't procreate like pigs and chickens..
They r still core islamic nations.

JosephXavier:
This is the second time this Kaduna-Abuja railway is being suspended because of attack in the past four months

The FG will soon fix it in not less than a week but I still wonder why FG won't also pay attention to South East the way it is done to other regions

It is only in South East that train don't operate in Nigeria

Is there any train services in bauchi, yobe, borno, adamawa, gombe or taraba?

VIKTO83:
He will visit his state the day he will present Dogora as his running mate.
Don't forget Tinubu has not declared yet. He had been declaring sectionally. He will hold a world press conference d day he will declare to run.

Tinubu don declare abeg..

We know he is contesting.
He has started consultations and mini campaigns..

People that r yet to declare for presidency r Gej, amaechi etc

For my state, akwaibom, OBA is yet to declare.. I heard he is consulting widely..

Once someone makes either public or social media declaration, it is it.

Wike declared in an unusual way.
Peter obi made his intentions known thru his Twitter handle..

Tinubu went n inform the Presido, he has met with both caucuses of senate and reps seeking their support.
Will u seek support when u haven't declared?

Viraltrends123:
Nigerians will vote the same leaders again, and even campaign for them, and even fight for them. East west north and south. Tinubu is already sharing rice in the north, Soludo a former cbn governor that was part of the ruins is what some people are campaigning for and ready to die for, Buhari won second term despite all the woes in first term, Easterners are ready to vote Atiku or Peter Pandora despite their past, a former vice president that even is president called him corrupt, and a former governor that couldn't even bring his people out of poverty. People are not ready, Tinubu will win 2023 to 2031, Atiku will win from 2031 to 2039, and we won't still get sense.

Which soludo are u talking of?

Is ur dad not qualified to run abi he was deported after serving jail term in malaysia for drug trafficking?

VIKTO83:
Don't forget there's a reason Dogora went back to APC

Its like u just woke up from slumber.

Who told u northerners will want a christian to be the number 2 citizen from their zone?

And who also told u tinubu is thinking of taking dogara as his vice?

He went to gombe state on consultations, why didn't he visit the home state of his supposed running mate?

DickDastardly:

Tinubu na reknown thief..

So many evidences abeg...

Mrkumareze:
Well, he has good vision but such can't work in Abuja.. those looters called senate n house or rep will kick him off...
president may have good wish but idiot ll disagree

The senate or house won't kick it out.
The executive submits its budget, the only job of nass is to scrutinize it, then pass it to law.
The next thing they r to do is go for oversight to monitor how each ministries n parastatals r faring with the funds release to them.

Govt /administration no hard, na we dey turn am to rocket science cos we wan loot.

Ndimkpurummiri:
is APC no more satanic Islamic Amala ewedu party?

Apc is a platform for Nigerians.

Every Nigerian is welcomed in apc..

Today the assumed killer of bola ige is the party sec.

Clowns keep moving from Amaechi to Jonathan and back to Amaechi. They don’t even know where to stand. Their confusion is so pathetic and sympathetic at the same time

The joke is on u...

Ur peepoos mandate will only be mandated in Ikoyi.

Unbehalf of the union of tinubu haters, we say may u cry all the first 4yrs of another administration that will never be ur Tinubu

fregeneh:
What about Ibrahim mantu" late"?

Ibrahim mantu was deputy senate president.

EastisBae:
As rumors continue to gather momentum that Amaechi is the candidate anointed to clinch APC ticket, then it shows that PDP would have to change their plans accordingly if they want to have any chance.

Once Amaechi is made the flag bearer of APC, Buhari and his people would be aiming to achieve two things:

1. Ensure that power rotates and a Southerner would succeed him to promote stability.

2. By choosing Amaechi, Buhari would be compensating him for the role he played in his emergence while at the same time hoping that Igbos would be placated with the argument that Amaechi is Igbo.

These points above have nullified any move by PDP to nominate a Northerner as its flag bearer. Any attempt by PDP to bring a Northerner at this point would make them severely unpopular and the party would be seen as selfish, unprogressive and anti-Nigeria. Therefore, PDP would have no choice than to bring not just a Southerner but also an Igbo man who is popular as a counter force.

At this point in time, no other candidate would be best suited for PDP than Peter Obi and here are the reasons why only him can defeat Amaechi in a free and fair presidential election come 2023:

1. Peter Obi is loved by the elite; the major reason why Atiku was able to enjoy the support of the elite was because he chose Obi as his Vice. The elite in Lagos, Abuja and all over Nigeria would prefer Obi to Amaechi because they feel he is prudent, not corrupt, and business minded unlike Amaechi that is a typical Nigerian politician.

2. While Amaechi publicly and unabashedly admitted that Nigeria collected Chinese loans without understanding what was written in the agreement before signing, Obi on the other hand is a thorough bred financial analyst who would always consider short, medium and long term effects of any loan or policy before going ahead with it.

3. The Osborne towers, Ikoyi scandal is still fresh in our memories and the open secret was that Amaechi was the person behind it. Everyone already knows that Nigeria is in a precarious position in terms of its finances therefore, someone like Obi is no doubt 100% better suited than Amaechi.

Aside the facts listed above. PDP should also ensure that a very popular candidate from the NW is made to be Obi's Vice. Now here is how the regions would likely vote should the two candidates emerge for both parties:

1. South West; although there would be voter aparthy in this region due to the treatment meted out on Tinubu. His large supporters would rather not vote or even vote for PDP in protest. Also, considering the anger brought about by suffering and hunger, voters here would rather vote for PDP than APC in the ratio of 60/40.

2. South East; based on certain factors I wouldn't mention now, this region would vote overwhelmingly for Obi and PDP in the ratio of 90/10.

3. South South; many would expect that being Amaechi's home region that he would get block votes but that won't be the case because it's ethnically heterogeneous. Folks in cities like Asaba, Uyo, P.H etc. may even vote for PDP than APC because aside PDP being dominant here, Obi is also believed to be a better candidate. PDP will win 60/40 against APC.

4. North; how the 3 regions of the North would vote depends on who emerges as the vice president of both parties. Abuja would definitely go for Obi/PDP and to an extent North Central. The Buhari factor is no longer influential like it used to be and many are hungry and hopeless, and they believe that APC is responsible for their situation.

Politics is about selfishness, sentiment, betryal and above all winner takes it all.

So all what u penned down here is inconsequential, whoever gets the pdp ticket will be accepted by everyone who thinks there must be power change to put Nigeria on the path of progress.

What we just witnessed in the last 6+yrs is something the isrealites experienced while in egypt.

trutharena:
Foolish Hundeyin will just open his mouth and say trash like a degenerate.

Buhari the president was allowed to nominate the APC chairman, what is bad in that? Didn’t Obasanjo and Jonathan did the same in their capacities as presidents? In fact OBJ changed Senate president at will, do the northerners now use that to say they are slave to the South?

I think the problem with some of the South is inferiority complex, why do we see the Northerners as some kind of god in politics when time has shown that people with power will sometimes have their way.

The governors all nominated their preferred candidates for other positions and even went against 4 out of the 5 Buhari preffered candidates. So what is this fool Hundeyinh now talking about?

All the senate presidents during obj were igbos.
Speakership was occupied by northwest region, they were only 2 that occupied the seat thru out obj tenure.
One buhari that was impeached due to toronto result and the current katsina state govr.
Try and know politics before coming to spew trash on sm

seunmsg:
Where will all these bigotry take us to in the south? Why do some of these cretins always think they can blackmail the south west? Are you guys really this senseless?

Your grandparents traded the prime minister position for an irrelevant and powerless ceremonial office. Your parents voted Shagari in 1979 and still voted for Tofa in 1993. You’ve been voting for PDP since 1999 and even voted Atiku in 2019.

You and your parents will still vote for Fulani Atiku again in 2023 so what’s the obsession with the SW political choices? Are we complaining to you? The two most important positions in the party was shared between the north and SW so why the noisy blackmail?

Osita chidoka campaigned and voted for mko...
Igbos voted for obj...

U guys betrayed the other southern region and u now expect them to rally round ur incapacitated candidate.

Project osinbajo and see how igbos will rush to support him knowing that he is sound to some extent.

Presidency no be baale post or oba stoolship that one old rugged thief will buy his way to..

VIKTO83:
Thank u for declaring to run wike.
Ur failing will be resounding.
Now they will deny Atiku ticket and a fight will come up and Atiku will merge with his friend Tinubu.
Yes it's playing out soon.

2023 will be tight i swear... Can't forsee anything..
If atiku wins and apc gives amaechi ticket, i see wike alligning with amaechi to teach atiku what politics is..

Tinubu will never get apc ticket, his foundation is faulty already.

He is thinking of muslim-muslim ticket.. The northerners are not this dumb,..
