A former Special Adviser to Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano, Salihu Tanko Yakasai, has said the All Progressives Congress, APC, won’t give its presidential ticket to a candidate from the Southeast.

Yakasai said there are no indications that the APC presidential candidates would come from the Southeast.

The Kano State APC chieftain said the party may preferably settle for a Southsouth presidential candidate.

He explained that APC may opt for the Southsouth if the Southwest fails to clinch the ticket.

Yakasai, who spoke on Arise Tv morning show said: “As far as I am concerned, I have not seen any indication that the APC is going to field any candidate from the Southeast and I don’t think that is going to happen.

“Even if Southwest does not get it, to be honest, I don’t see the APC giving it to anybody from the Southeast, maybe the South-South but definitely not the Southeast.”

Yakasai also said the Southeast governors and elites lacked unity to push for the presidency.

He also noted that the region lacked the numbers that would produce a Nigerian president.

“In the Southeast, they keep agitating individually but they have not come together collectively to show a unified front to the rest of the country that they are indeed ready for this presidency. There is no unity among the governors, there is no unity among the political elite and there is no unity among the followers. And unfortunately for them, they do not have the numbers, which means that they need the support of one or two regions”, Yakasai added.

Jerryherd:
PDP won't even give them

seunmsg:


They are not even pretending to be interested in getting PDP’s presidential ticket. All they want is the Vice Presidential ticket and they won’t even get it this time around because Wike and Okowa will ensure it goes to the south south.

Sirjamo:
This South East presidency matter does not even exist in the APC.


If PDP cannot give them exclusive ticket, after voting the party for 24 years, is it APC that they have not vote for one minute that will give them?

Jerryherd:


They are so naive they dont know the game

Once Atiku or Tambuwal secures PDP ticket never would they let SouthEast spoil their chances with SouthSouth being very viable northern choice even APC North wooing SS Jonathan

....buy you ipobians biatch and moan about it every day..

You want it and you are dying to get it..

Stop fooling yourself..

NGpatriot:



Exactly.

APC is actually looking at it from practical, realistic and logical angles, the fact that they are not united means their vote is already diluted, nit strong, on top of the fact that the entire population of the registered voters is minuscule and not worth the effort.

They don't even have a single charismatic, nationally influential and powerful leader to represent them.

Zoning to the SE means huge koss at the polls, it's basic common sense..

Same old boring lullaby.

Are yoruba muslims united with yoruba christians?

Anyway, PDP prays fervently for APC to zone their ticket to SW, it will be a walk in the park for the North+SE+SS PDP candidacy in 2023.

All those Niger and Chad immigrants and voters will not vote a yoruba kaffir over a Dan Arewa. The SE and SS will also not vote a SW candidate and the reason is very clear and justifiable.

Emergingnation:
Who even care with your useless presidency of a country that's in ruined

We want our virgin nation called Biafra..

Jerryherd:
PDP won't even give them

Emergingnation:
As if we care, typical Afonja

NGpatriot:



No, reality.

You care very much. Abi why are you here barking like village bingo?

2023 Presidency: South-East Mandate strategizes for consensus, seeks Buhari’s support


A political pressure group, South-East Mandate rose from its meeting in Enugu, weekend, announcing plans to ensure that the zone presents an acceptable candidate for the 2023 presidential election.

Convener of the Group, Senator Julius Ucha made the disclosure while addressing journalists after its National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting.

The group, made up of mostly stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress, APC, from the region, urged President Muhammadu Buhari to facilitate the process of APC nominating their presidential candidate from a trusted member of the party of South-East extraction.

Ucha identified trust, latent fear, suspicion and prejudice as key issues holding the South-East down in Nigeria political equation

“We decided to work on them. At what point will a leader in Nigeria see a Southeasterner as one he can hand over to on trust?


“Every political party in Nigeria is aware that South-East is ripe for the presidency, we are talking of justice, we are talking of equity, everyone who has conscience knows that South-East is a solid part of Nigeria and it should have the opportunity to have the presidency of this country.”
