Is Tinubu, Osinbajo and Amaechi your nightmare or why are you obsessed with them?

seunmsg:
The attached one or the PDP wailers one?

Leshyne:
You help to dethrone your brother, Jonathan and brought in this failed government that is worse than the previous one. How can you believe you can win. I find solace that your wicked Nyesom is gonna crush you as usual.

cktheluckyman:

It is not up to you to decide whether or not the consensus option will be used in the APC presidential primaries

ityP:



See declaration o. No be campaign. Lmao. Best presidential declaration yet. Dude is special

ityP:



Obasanjo lost ALL south west states except Ekiti in the 1999 elections. Dude even lost his OWN state disgracefully. He still went ahead to win with a high margin. Amaechi can lose Rivers. No one send. As long as the north votes him, fine

anonimi:


I thought that you were going to show the part for party executives

shinealight:


For Tinubu to move to SDP?….you must be joking! Do you leave the house you built for marauders to take over?
If Tinubu leaves APC today, the party will collapse and they will lose the election. You can take that to the bank!

olamike02:

How much did Tinubu steal from you.

Eniteses:
Hope he resigned before his presidential declaration?

ityP:



I watched it times without number. He said it

deltaprincess:


Clown!! Amaechi that cannot win in his own ward?

Only a slowpoke will anoint him as APC candidate. How many states does he control?

seunmsg:
I wholeheartedly welcome him to the race. He has paid his due as a politician and a public administrator.

The APC presidential primary will be a very competitive one with aspirants like Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Yemi Osinbajo, Dave Umahi, Rotimi Amaechi etc. A free, fair and credible primary election will be conducted and the winner will be supported at the general election. Oga shut up your mouth. Ewuuu

There will be no consensus so Amaechi should start a nationwide consultation immediately. I wish him the best of luck as he pursues his presidential ambition.

It is only a novice that will believe a ruling party as big as APC will produce a presidential candidate through consensus.

bahaushe1:

You seems naïve, I swear. It has happened many times in the past. It has just happened in APC during selection of part exco and it will happen again during selection of presidential candidate.

Can you mention just one instance when the presidential candidate of a major political party in Nigeria was nominated by consensus?

Goodluck 2015, all the big dogs in PDP stepdown and others decamped

seunmsg:


Goodluck was not a consensus candidate in 2015. PDP simply printed only one form and sold it to Jonathan. Atiku and others who wanted to contest left the party in annoyance. Even at that, an indirect primary was conducted and Jonathan contested as the sole candidate and won. He was never a consensus candidate.

Goodluck 2015, all the big dogs in PDP stepdown and others decamped

Seems, u r a political novice. I wanted asking you about Rotimi Ameachi's candidacy but u r still a learner.

The ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has today begun its two-day National Convention at Eagles Square, Abuja.

Top on the agenda of the convention is the ratification of President Goodluck Jonathan as the party’s candidate in the February 14 presidential election and that of Adamu Mu’azu and Wale Oladipo as the party’s national chairman and national secretary, respectively.

Over 3,050 delegates from the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory are expected at the convention.

The delegates, according to the party’s spokesperson, Olisa Metuh, will be validating the candidacy of Mr. Jonathan on Thursday.

He had emerged the party’s sole presidential candidate in November, amid controversy over the withdrawal of his challengers, Jelil Tafawa Balewa, son of Nigeria’s former Prime Minister, and Akasoba Duke-Abiola, widow of the late Moshood Abiola.

Indeed, Mrs. Duke-Abiola is insisting she is still in the presidential race.

The president had been adopted by all the organs of the party, including its governors.

However, Mr. Jonathan’s adoption will still be ratified through the process of election in line with Section 87 of the Electoral Act to avoid litigations that could lead to the disqualification of the president from the impending contest.

ⓘ

On his part, Mr. Mu’azu, a former governor of Bauchi State, was appointed the PDP national chairman in January following the resignation of Bamanga Tukur from the position.

Mr. Oladipo was inaugurated in September last year.

The last presidential primary of the PDP held on January 14, 2011, at the same venue, Eagles Square.

In that election, Mr. Jonathan slugged it out with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Sarah Jubril.

The result announced by the Chief Returning Officer, Tunde Adeniran, a former education minister, showed that Mr. Jonathan polled 2,736 votes to beat Mr. Abubakar who got 805 votes while Mrs. Jubril got one vote.

Mr. Abubakar has since defected to the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, on whose platform he is contesting the primary today in Lagos. He is running against four other aspirants.

The president, who went ahead to win the main presidential election, compensated Mrs. Jubril with an appointment as Senior Special Adviser to the President on Ethics and Values.
