GEJ bawo
That's irrational. GEJ can never defeat Atiku.
Except APC wants to give their power away.

GeJ will be too much affront on the Governors and all political gladiators in APC..although the president get power to do it but e no go wan offend too many people..u still need a lot of politicians people on ur side

IfnobeGod20:
Buhari is bad. Two places that interest me is item 5 and 10 and it reads:
"5. As I begin the final year of my second term as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and leader of the Party, I recognize the compelling need for me to provide stronger leadership to the Party under this transition process and to ensure that it happens in an orderly manner".
He used this statement to exert his authority as the leader of APC. If you didn't understand, please go back and read again.

Secondly, in item 10, he made plain what he will do. Letting those selfish governors know that, they are the one choosing their successor and he will also choose his own. Lobatan!
Please read below.

"10. In keeping with the established internal policies of the Party and as we approach the Convention in a few days, therefore, I wish to solicit the reciprocity and support of the Governors and other stakeholders in picking my successor, who would fly the flag of our party for election into the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2023".

Bolded:
Pick his successor.

It's only a Banana Republic democracy that an outgoing president chooses his successor.


Buhari is taxing the patience of Nigerians too much with his desire to choose a successor
who will continue with his program of Islamization and Fulanization of Nigeria.

I zoomed in on the photo.

Y is osinbajo kind of happy.
Maybe he is bubu preferred candidate

Like Awolowo and Abiola before him, Tinubu will die with a sore in his heart; a sore of unfulfilled ambition, a sore of unfulfilled dream despite his servitude to the north.

I pray he doesn’t poo on himself that day

Peeing on himself is already a normal thing. That one na sure banker. No be today something

4ckyou:
we are waiting,

osinbanjo all the way, but I will prefer a rugged man like tinubu that won't be scared of anybody, I think osinbanjo will bow to the north just like Jonathan that built a railway in north without a high level project in the south.

osibanjo is 10times stronger and more disciplined than tinubu.

SensualMan:
TINUBU is out of the race.

This is good news. Yorubas, Tinubu urchins can now Bury their heads in shame.

SHAME ON ALL YORUBA PEOPLE!

brain myst be paining you. I am yoruba and I have never supported tinubu, same with most yorubas I know. Seems it is agberos you have been relating with and you think they represent yorubas

Mr. Man, it is a normal convention all over the world for the president to have an input in who succeeds him. Hence, they give him the authority of Right of First Refusal and that has been the practice. OBJ chose his successor and virtually all outcome governors chose their successors.

Mr Man.

Repeat after me: it's only in a Banana Republic democracy where an outgoing president or prime minister is able to choose his successor.

Nigeria's democracy is Banana Republic democracy because of the skewed and lopsided political structure of Nigeria crafted by northern military dictators to favour Arewa.

you are funny

It's Clear and bright that the anointed one is Yemi Osibanjo.......For Osibanjo to have the Audacity to declare his ambition knowingly that Tinubu is coming, I can say that Osibanjo is backed by the Federal Might to succeed Buhari.

In my view

Osibanjo (SW)/ Lawal (NE) -APC


The combination they need to withstand Atiku/ Emmanuel Udom -PDP

You never picked anything from the speech. Things that call for reasonably positive and objective for discourse. Ethnic hatred and bitterness have beclouded your reasoning faculty. Shame on you. It is very obvious you can't go far in life. I'm afraid, if you don't desist, your children may inherit the same genetic foolishness. Ears have not heard…

why you de view the man yanchs?

The use of the words......Picking my successor means buying the nomination form for 100 million was a waste.

tunapawizzy:
I thought about it and removed lawan....but forget structure sha..which structure yaradua get...for ruling party election is won by Governors of the state the party controls, those are the ones with the structure... once Governors key into it..its a done deal but on a second note, I know the Governors forum will want buhari to let them nominate vice at least....

You're right about Yar'Adua.
Sometimes it's not about structure but other times it is however.

You also have to consider that elections has changed over the years. Who would have thought an incumbent president would lose in 2015?
The election that led to Yar'Adua's emergence was rigged. He mentioned it.
You can't rig elections that easily these days.
Another thing you need to consider is the opponents.

If APC drops anyhow candidate as their flag bearer, I assure you that their incumbency will not save them.

Invitationn:
Lawan?
He dare not... you can take that to the bank.
Lawan the rubber-stamped senate president with no structure?
No one knows him in the south, he's not popular in the north- not on Atiku's level obviously.

You need to understand that there's an Atiku constant that the APC are considering before pitching anyone except they are not passionate about keeping their power and continuing looting our Commonwealth

Same argument can be made for any other candidate in APC

alsudan:
Buhari didn’t Mince words, he has stated clearly that he will pick a successor same way he did with the National Chairman.

Being who the President is, anyone that tries to stand on his way would be crushed.

Thiefnibu has clearly been warned. Won’t be surprised if Oyegun disqualifies druggie while Buhari is out in Spain.

Ndi interpreter
The same buhari soliciting the support of governors mostly loyal to tinubu is whom you are reporting that he crush anyone,,?.
I hope you've eaten today,?

ADDRESS BY HIS EXCELLENCY, MUHAMMADU BUHARI, PRESIDENT, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, TO THE PROGRESSIVE GOVERNORS’ FORUM AT THE CONSULTATIVE MEETING HELD AT THE PRESIDENTIAL VILLA, ABUJA, ON TUESDAY, 31ST MAY, 2022

PROTOCOLS

I am delighted to address this gathering of the Progressive Governors’ Forum as part of the consultative processes that have always strengthened the internal dynamics of our Party, the All Progressives Congress, (APC).

2. You will all recall that APC came to power at the center in 2015 through a cohesive machinery, notwithstanding its status as the opposition party. Similarly, in 2019, it was returned to power under my leadership, because of the dividends of democracy delivered to Nigerians irrespective of their political leanings.

3. The Party has since grown in strength and capacity to govern. The key to both electoral successes is the ability of the party to hold consultations and for its members to put the nation above other interests.

4. The transition processes for the 2023 General Elections have commenced in earnest and I note that the most successful Political Parties globally have always relied on their internal cohesion and a strong leadership brand to achieve bigger electoral fortunes. Our party, the APC, shall not be any different, more so as we are still implementing the blueprint for a more prosperous nation.

5. As I begin the final year of my second term as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and leader of the Party, I recognize the compelling need for me to provide stronger leadership to the Party under this transition process and to ensure that it happens in an orderly manner.

6. Such leadership is required so that the Party remains strong and united. It is also needed to improve our electoral fortunes by ensuring that it retains power at the center, hold the great majority in various legislative chambers and also gain additional number of states at state levels.

7. In pursuit of the foregoing objectives, the Party has successfully established internal policies that promote continuity and smooth succession plans even at the state and local government levels. For example, first term Governors who have served credibly well have been encouraged to stand for re-election. Similarly, second term Governors have been accorded the privilege of promoting successors that are capable of driving their visions as well as the ideals of the party.

8. In a few days, the Party will be holding its Convention during which primaries would take place to pick the Presidential Flag Bearer for the 2023 General Elections. This is a very significant process and its outcome should prove to the world, the positive quality of the APC regarding democratic principles, culture as well as leadership.

9. As we approach the Convention, I appeal to all of you to allow our interests to converge, our focus to remain on the changing dynamics of our environment, the expectations of our citizens and the global community. Our objective must be the victory of our party and our choice of candidate must be someone who would give the Nigerian masses a sense of victory and confidence even before the elections.

10. In keeping with the established internal policies of the Party and as we approach the Convention in a few days, therefore, I wish to solicit the reciprocity and support of the Governors and other stakeholders in picking my successor, who would fly the flag of our party for election into the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2023.

11. I wish to assure you that the consultation process shall continue to ensure that all aspirants and stakeholders would be brought on board right through to the convention. This would also ensure that any anxiety occasioned by different factors are effectively brought under control and that our party emerges stronger.

12. I thank you all for listening. God bless you all. God bless our Party, the APC and God bless our nation, Nigeria.

lalasticlala, Buhari warned the Governors that since the internal machinery in APC allowed Governors to choose their successor the same machinery allows him the right to pick a successor whom they must support...I allow una, una must allow me...it is a resiprocal something.

Ojuntana:
Same argument can be made for any other candidate in APC

Not really.
You can't compare Onu, Amaechi, Fayemi or even Osinbajo to Tinubu.

Invitationn:

Why not. Tinubu only has stronghold in the SW. Even that SW, it's two states (Lagos and Osun) that are sure bets for him. The rest can swing anywhere

I can't help you since you know nothing about what politics entails all over the world. Let me use your words for my description. In a Banana Republic like USA, Barack Obama wanted Hilary Clinton to succeed him and he fought tooth and nail for her. What about that?

All I see is Osinbajo will become the anointed candidate, though Buhari would have preferred Amaechi

It's not individuals that win elections but party. Having said that, the individual is also very important.
In the last election apart from Oyo state, which other state did Tinubu not win in the south west for Buhari, a northern? Now, he's the aspirant.

Who among these other aspirants know any big name in the north who can mobilize delegates to even win the primaries?
Yahya Bello? Dimeji Bankole, no?
Onu? Amosun? Akpabio? Lawan?

For me, It's a no brainer for APC -Tinubu is their man.
All these delays and politics are,... you guessed right- a plan to go consensus because they probably don't want him to become president, otherwise, in a fair primaries, he'll win without doubt.

APC also lost Ondo in the last election.
Amosun has contacts in the North too. He's a long-standing ANPP member. You underrate him and Onu in the North because they don't have the media machinery to blow their trumpet like Tinubu.
Having said that, Tinubu himself is banking on riding in buhari's popularity in the North to win the election if not, he knows he is no match for atiku.

Those two paragraphs is saying, "As I don allow una pick una successor, make una allow me pick mine"

The 2015 election was won by APC because Jonathan was betrayed by those he thought were working with him but were working against him.

Elections in Nigeria historically are not won by votes, but by rigging. You must rig to win or rig to not be rigged out.

Yes. The collation centers is where the rigging takes place but if INEC does electronic transmission from the polling units that will eliminate that route.

Please, don't bring in USA when talk is about Nigeria.

Nigeria's democracy is a farce since northern military dictators wrongly used land mass or population figures to create 19 states and Abuja in the old Northern region but created only 17 states in the old two southern regions. They made election law which states that a presidential candidate must win 25% of votes in 2/3 of 36 states (24 states) before the candidate can be proclaimed winner of Nigeria's presidential election.

Even a blind person can see that the way the states were proliferated in the north gives absolute political powers to Fulani-led northern politicians.
So you see why Nigeria's democracy is a farce and what gives a President Buhari the huge political power to contemplate choosing his successor; why an Atiku would abandon PDP at will, and return at will to pick up presidential ticket of the party.

Restructure Nigeria politically or end the fraudulent country.

If that’s will save Nigeria from the hands of the alleged master enslaver then you have the support of the international community

What Buhari cannot do as President doesn’t exist

Oh! You don't want me to factor in USA but you're quick to term Nigeria a Banana Republic where only place that the president chose his successor. But telling you and giving you classical example to silent you, you're now telling me not to mention USA. As if USA is a perfect country.
Adding up those rhetoric attached is just from a bitter soul, I will advice you heal yourself and stop being bitter. The president has not done what has not been done before. It's a common practice because a successor without a good successor becomes a failure. Hence, he need to be involve to choose who succeeds him and that is not a big deal.
