The first person in the PDP to declare is Anyim but since PDP commences sale of Presidential nomination forms, the man ran away into hiding.

And you the PDP chairman or National secretary to know who has bought form and who has not?
Every Yoruba sees Igbos in their dream.

Cardilac2323:
No doubt that the south east and South West will not come to terms in their political quest. While the west have full backing of the north in APC, while the east seems to be hanging on a balance where their support base is. While it seems very possible for the west to produce the president under APC, the east have little or no chance, therefore the spoiler game will be the next plot. Instead of a Tinubu presidency, the power should remain in the north.
Atiku declaration is a well thought out plan to scuttle the presidency of the south west, hence, the spoiler game.

You have the backing of the North in APC?
Have you been to the North?
Do you understand the people you are dealing with?
I urge you to see things beyond prejudice and your level of awareness, otherwise you may end up exposing your own ignorance.
It is now imperative that you travel outside South West so that you will know that the world is bigger than your ewedu farm.

Urbanchampion:
Don't worry, criminally minded Ogbonaya will leave office soon, I heard he wants to resign and contest for President, to waste all the money he criminally acquired in Science and Technology. Keep wondering why Fiiro is in Lagos, but never wonder why Proda is in Enugu, despite much publicised looting of the place during ENDSARS roits

It us now clear why Tinubu Urchins want to bring Onu down.

helinues:
Intervene for the case in Appeal court while Supreme is still there.

Appeal court would at least sit 5 times before delivering their judgement, 2 months interval making almost 10 months in Appeal alone, how many months left for Umahi?

Yoruba brain only codes for hatred towards Igbos.
That is the only thing they know for now.

Tareq1105:
You people supported Obasanjo bcoz you were afraid of a repeat of how South Yeast didn't vote Abiola in 1993 yet he still won.

Yorubas don't like Obasanjo and up till now we don't like him for the simple reason that he's not a straight forward person. He sees himself as the most successful and populous Yoruba man.

We don't like him. And again, he doesn't help anyone.

We don't know how many Yorubas have made it through him. We don't know. He's greedy and selfish even in the church.

Till today Obasanjo can never win in a free and fair election in Ogun State or south west. That explains why all his candidates in elections since he left Abuja have failed.

He's responsible for Atikulooooter lose in Ogun State bcoz he came out openly to support him so people didn't go with his selfish decision. Whenever you see GNI, his governorship son in 2019, ask him.

Simply put, OBJ didn't support the tribalism that Yorubas are known for.

babaolofin:
Igbos voted for PDP and not Obasanjo. The battle between Alex Ekwueme and Obasanjo for PDP slot was the dirtiest battle where IBOs mustered all their resources against Obj. The insults were monumental. Various abuses and attacks against a man just out of prison . In 2003, it is on record, Orji Uzor Kalu begged PDP not to allow Obj go for second term to prevent YORUBA from consolidation.

In 1999, IBO have no candidate that is a political colossus. They only voted for a winning party. The Yorubas voted for one of their own based on their conscience and circumstances. This has been our characters from Awolowo era till date. The APC and PDP have their stronghold in South West unlike in the South East and South South where you called a Party a Yoruba Party.

You said IBO did not attend Enugu meeting because no unity in 2015 and it is because of Tinubu who was sick in London that the IBO governors invited Southern governors to Enugu and none of them in attendance. Is that not similar to Nzeogwu coup? Is it the South West governors that convened the meeting at Delta?

You are a small boy who does not know anything.

Igbos voted PDP and not OBJ even though OBJ is the flagbearer? It is like saying Kalu and Okocha played for Super Eagle and not Nigeria.
Hatred can cause cerebral malfunctioning.

Tareq1105:
Bring out your candidate now. May be you don't know all your people are not even talking about president but Vice President now.

Not even your Peter Obi. So, how do you now want Yorubas not to go for president when you people are not interested. No serious commitment.

Do you expect everyone to go to bed for you? Let's see your candidate now.

This position President would not just fall on anyone. It's not family lineage title hence you need to work out your salvation by yourself.

Advertise your candidate, showcase him and stop castigating others.

Let's see your choice.

Tinubu cannot be fine. Let's see who you're bringing.

Nobody so far.

Remember Party primary is for June and you never get candidate. Last last na Atiku you go support.

But on Asiwaju I stand.

Are you sure you are in Nigeria or hatred for Igbos has rumpled your brain that you can no longer remember past events?
Orji Uzo Kalu, Umahi and Rochas have officially declared interest in APC
Anyim Pius has declared interest in PDP

Alexis11:
Because the only group that is celebrating Atiku's declaration is the Igbos na

You are a deluded little mug

Alexis11:
The reality is even if power persist in the North for the next 50 years, it will definitely come back to South West when north is tired of ruling.

Let us wait and see

oilykid:
It's all about politics. The only way APC will retain power is to hand it to South South candidate. This would make them win votes from SS/SE and even SW (they wouldn't have any practical option). The only moral place to cede the ticket is SE but this is politics, the party is not strong there. SW has no moral right to ask for presidency now but they have positioned themselves well for the ticket. The truth is that no single region can win presidency. Voting blocks in Nigeria remains North/SE-SS/SW. Any of the two combined would defeat the third.
The SW media wing is actually pushing Igbos to demand for presidency from PDP and Igbos shouldn't fall for this. Reason is this, apart from the bad blood caused by IPOB, APC is the incumbent party. Why would APC Kaduna leave APC candidate to vote for PDP SE candidate. A SW presidency means a longer wait for SE (16years).

The political move SE can make now is to join forces with Northern PDP and win 2023. Build bridges and position themselves for 2031. Be ready to get jabs on nairaland from SW that Igbos are only good for vice presidency or are Fulani slaves. Don't be moved by these. That's the only solution and Yorubas played it in 2015. A Yoruba candidate wouldn't have stood a chance against any SS/SE candidate of PDP in 2015 as the incumbent party would have deployed their machinery to crush them. They wouldn't also stand a chance if PDP is incumbent party in 2031 with an Igbo presidential candidate.

This is the truth an Igbo with his emotional part wouldn't want to hear or a cunny Yoruba wouldn't want people to know

You are wise

Tareq1105:
Yorubas are not greedy. The space is open, the contest is open, the dancing floor is open for all.

Tell whoever is your candidate to come out and start touring like Tinubu.

I guess you're not saying that all the masquerades should leave town square and allow only masquerades from one particular zone in the south to dance when you're not even sure that the masquerade is ready.

Common sense should tell you that in this case the only way a masquerade from the South can win is through unity and strategy.
The North is happy because the South is not united. Let me see how Tinubu can win a Fulani Muslim.
OBJ- President 8 years
Osibanjo - VP 8 years
Then, it is the turn of the South and south west wants to be president again because Igbos and Niger Delta are fools.

tnerro1:
So what happens if Atiku wins and does 8 years in office and APC decides to bring a northerner after Atiku’s tenure ends?

Does that mean the south will never rule this country ?

Yes, because Yorubas mistake treachery for wisdom.

OBJ - President 8 years
Osibanjo - VP 8 years.

Power shift to the South and Yorubas want to be president again by insulting Igbos, calling them 5%ers and all sort of unprintable names.

They also worked against South South presidency by ensuring that Goodluck loses election.
Soyinka insulted the first Lady by calling her Shepopotamus.
Yorubas led all sorts of campaigns against GEJ presidency.

The South is not united, so let the united North rule forever.

obembet:
Igbo prefer to another Fulani Terriost than thier brother. I never see Igbo support thier brother... Still wonder why they hate other tribe that has never hold any position in East

Atiku declared for Presidency and you still have to bring Igbos into it.
Why is it that yorubas DNA was altered from birth to code for hatred towards Igbos?

Nonpartisan1:
These governors are going to show Atiku shege

He thought this was 2019, when the atmosphere favoured him in the PDP.

Just go to his Twitter page and see below par engagement his tweets about his declaration is performing, unlike 2019, when any of his tweets were retweeted thousands times...but not even up to 300 people liked or tweeted his deceleration.

Atiku is finished. Aside the Afghaneasthern people online, nobody is even discussing his declaration today..

I know your fear. If Atiku wins PDP ticket, He is going to defeat your God Tinubu with a wide margin because the only language the North understands in politics is religion and tribe.
An average northerner cannot leave the Turaki of Adamawa and a Fulani Muslim and vote for a "berebe" Tinubu.
2023 will be an interesting year.

Andrewkinggg:
I’m not tribalistic or I’m in anyway trying to incite tribal/region war but in order to Forster unity amongst us, considering how multi- diverse we are as a people, I feel it’s only ideal and right that we promote and support a southern presidency esp. south eastern part of the country. A northerner is finishing his 8 years tenure we shouldn’t be having another northerner lead again. I’m a huge fan of Atiku but right now he’s giving Buhari Vibes with his presidential ambition.

The greed for power by Yorubas is the reason power will remain in the North forever.

Menace2Society:
laugh wan choke me for here eeh who wan vote Onu

Only Yorubas wouldn't vote him.

The Yorubas

I've had Yoruba friends from as long as I can remember. I think I'm not alone in this regard. Yorubas are basically non violent and would debate you on anything, whether it's religion or politics or whatever it is. This in my opinion is one of the most attractive attributes about Yorubas in general. I also think the Yorubas understood the Nigerian terrain early enough to adopt an attitude of neutrality (they are neither here nor there but always take sides with the winning team) in order to protect their interest. Neutrality is really not neutral. As one would see, it's merely a political game of betting on both sides and whoever wins becomes your friend. This way you hardly loose. Enough of the politics and let's get down to it. I respect the Yorubas just like i respect any other tribe. Though I must say Yorubas put tribe above religion. My experience with Yourbas are endless because while I'm writing this, majority of my acquitances are Yorubas, I basically have them all around so I can say my opinion is not from hear say. Yorubas are naturally friendly people. They don't get aggressive easily, they respect elders, and also expect others to respect them. A Muslim Yoruba can attend a church service and would see no big deal to it. I believe they take religion for what it is it —a way to worship God. The common issue I've noticed with Yorubas is tribalism. I think this seems ironic since many people see them as neutral. When a Yoruba man does something wrong in the political scene, fellow Yorubas will find a soft spot for him. Sometimes excusing whatever that was done irrespective of the gravity of the offence. One such recent case was with the Nigerian Minister for Finance Kemi Adeosun, who has allegedly used a forged NYSC certificate and yet is been shielded by the government of the day. I've been shocked to notice that some of my anti-corruption Yoruba friends who i respect are not outraged about this, rather you would hear things like “well it's Nigeria na.” These same people would leap to the band wagon to condemn and criticize people who are accused of similar offences provided they are from the South. In general I think Nigeria would be alot better if other tribes learned some of the attributes of the Yorubas especially their non violent approach to burning issues, and the Yorubas would be better of if they come out of their self acclaimed neutrality and stand for equality and fairness in Nigeria, not just when it is politically convenient.

Nyanmiridunce:
Igbo, what concerns you in Yorùbá matter? Like what's your own business with Lagos? If you lie again being a Yoruba, I will bring out the prayer you've been hiding to say amen to all these while.

Nonsense.

One day your inborn hatred for Igbos will destroy you.

Write this down.

stinflame:
Why exactly should Pantami resign? Where you told he is parading a fake Doctorate degree?

Do you need a PhD to become a director?
M.SC is enough.

flokii:
We reject liars and petty criminals heading sensitive research agencies of govt. especially in Lagos.. .Chima Igwe or whatever he is called ought to be prosecuted and jailed for presenting false information and documents to his employer and all the salary he received on the job returned in full.

Onu is just deceiving himself, Nigeria is not alaigbo where anything goes.. he'll be checkmated and if care is not taken, sacked from the post that is shacking him.

Look at this one.
A deluded little mug like you is ranting for nothing.
Do your worst.

Rugaria:
They have remembered Onu. Lagos Ibadam expressway mercenary journalists..
They're thinking he might be interested in the presidency.. All they do is to start writing trash about any top politician from the East rumored to have any slighgt presidential ambitions..

You are wise.
Yorubas hatred for Igbos is inborn.
They hate even the shadow of an Igbo man

Michelle70:
That doesn't seem like it.
Nobody inn south can win against Tinubu.

If PDP gives it to a southern person, north will vote APC and SW will still vote APC

If PDP gives it to north, they might loose a lot of southern votes but the Buhari influence will still remain in the north for now, only Allah himself can completely erase Buhari northern effect in 2023 general election

Just my opinion

If PDP fields Atiku, the North should forget about 2023.
Buhari has gotten what he wanted, he will not campaign for anybody. That was why he asked every aspirant to consult widely.
Don't expect Buhari to canvass for Tinubu or any candidate.

Nonpartisan1:
Open contest is the best for the APC to avoid implosion. Let everyone who is qualified come out and test his or her strength. The same goes for the Presidential Primaries.

This also means the North can contest for the presidency as well?

JosephXavier:
Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi should never be on that list, he is the most useless PDP governor in the South

Man did absolutely nothing in Enugu to deserve that

He will be another Goodluck Jonathan or even worse

There is only one name to consider from South East PDP and that is Peter Obi

Don't kill yourself for nothing.
The greatest enemy of an Igbo man is his fellow Igbo man.
Just shaking my head.

Soso990240:
when i said threat on this, i never meant violent threat. Btw u said Ugwuanyi can bury Ekweremadu Governorship dream.. that will be in Ugwuanyi's wild dreams. When i said Ekweremadu is the most popular politician in Enugu now, i meant every world. He is so popular that he can win flawlessly under Apga or APC.. same way Rochas won an incumbent PDP Governor when contesting through Apga, that's how Popular he is here .Take it or leave it

You are a joker!
You really think that being a governor is a plate of rice and beans.

For your information, anybody Ugwuanyi anoints automatically becomes the Governor of Enugu State.

Additionally, He has presidential backing which Ekweremadu cannot boast of.

Even Chimaroke Nnamani has this to say:
“We have a tradition in Enugu State politics. The governor (Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi) is the leader who directs affairs. He will determine who succeeds him without compromising the electoral processes and whomever he chooses will be our next governor."
https://gmtnewsng.com/2022/01/26/enugu-2023-gov-ugwuanyi-will-choose-successor-sen-nnamani/

Ekweramadu can underestimate the power of an incumbent governor at his own peril.

Soso990240:
OP The truth is that you type and still complicate what u've written. According to Ekweremadu The zoning wasn't official and he wasn't part of it. Moreover, who stated that the zoning starts with Nkanu ? What if it starts from another zone, more like reshuffling the whole card. Ekweremadu will surely perform, unlike One Ugwuanyi from nowhere that messed up the whole Enugu state. The current Governor decided to do Gariki/Agbani road simply because Ekweremadu threatened him that if he (Governor) does not do the road within a specified period, he (Ekweremadu) will do the road himself. That's the kind of people we need in Government.

Ekweremadu cannot threaten Ugwuanyi. Who is he?

Ugwuanyi has all the powers to bury his governorship dream.

Bounceboune7:
says an inconsequential nyamiri who will always b a 5th class citizen in his own country

And a deluded "Ofe mmanu" like you is in which class?
Apart from ranting about Tinubu online, what other things are you good at?

You think being a 1st class citizen is all about your tribesmen becoming a president or vice president?

You have a long way to go with your petty mind.

Tinubu wines and dines with many Igbo illustrious sons and daughters but he doesn't know that you exist. That is what first class citizen is all about.

shortIGBOman:
It's like you didn't understand what I said? Igbo can never rule this Country. We will never allow that.

Who are we?

shortIGBOman:
Igbo can never rule this Country. The North will never allow that. Amaechi is Ikwere and a better candidate for the job in Asso Rock.

You are not serious
There is no permanent friend or enemy in politics but permanent interest.

Nobody believed that an Ijaw man would ever become president.

Windscribe:
Amaechi getting the ticket means an end to Apc (though doesn't looks visible)

Should Amaechi get the ticket, Tinubu and his ACN loyalist who contributes more than 40% of Apc would decamp from the party, you already knows what this means.

President Muhammadu Buhari is going to respect the gentleman agreement between Acn and cpc in 2014/2015.

Amaechi is not a contender.

You are not wise
The North decides who becomes president.
Which population do you have to threathen anybody?
55% of people in your region are non-indigenes.

shortIGBOman:
If Amaechi is not Buhari's candidate, we will rather vote Samuel Ortom of Benue or Yahaya Bello of Kogi. Than to vote for an Igbo man.

And Amaechi is a yoruba man?

Any candidate the North supports wins.

So if the North decides to support Umahi or Kalu then start getting ready for stroke.

Mooh247:
Till we see his resignation letter then we might take his ambition seriously

Jokers!

He can resign, contest and get reappointed again.

STOP masturbating over little issues
