If Buhari choose his choice , will the remaining agree to step down ?, I am asking because of EMI LOKAN

DrStrange2000:


If it’s free and fair then why not

adioolayi:
PMB should endorse the 5 and allow open contest..

By this ...APC will remain United force

DrStrange2000:
Okay I think it’s better this way.. At this point if the governors don’t take control in this manner , Buhari will put this country in the hands of another dumb northerner

Enwhen:



It's there anything like free and fair in Nigeria , let alone election ?

Lessonteacher:
I disagree with you,, tinubu has been choosing his choice candidates and it has not divided the party in Lagos

As a follow-up on their resolution to zone the All Progressives Congress Presidential ticket to the south, the Northern APC Governors have forwarded the names of five southern aspirants to the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) for consideration as a consensus candidate.

Aspirants from the South dominated the list obtained by The PUNCH on Tuesday.

Those shortlisted are the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; former Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu; Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi; former Transportation Minister, Rotimi Amaechi; and Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State.

The Chairman of the Northern Governors Forum and Governor of Plateau State, Simon Lalong, who confirmed the shortlist said those whose names were submitted had been graded by the party screening committee based on specified metrics.

Lalong, however, noted that the Northern Governors being only one section of the party, the shortlist will not bar other aspirants from contesting the primaries.

The governors had, on Monday, met with Buhari to officially inform him of their stance to zone the ticket to the south.

They met the president around the same time the APC national chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, announced that President Buhari had endorsed Senate President Ahmed Lawan as the consensus candidate.

The PUNCH had reported that Buhari asked the governors to reduce the number of aspirants after consultations.

A media aide to one of the governors confirmed that aspirants were shortlisted without giving their names.

He, however, emphasised that no one was disqualified nor eliminated from the primary.

He also hinted that the names may be reduced to two before the primary.

“Yes, they shortlisted but never disqualified or eliminated any aspirant. What they did is similar to what the screening committee did. They just recommended aspirants that will make APC remain in power,” he said.

They have been exposed already the minute they played their card to select lawan before the primary started .. The rest of the aspirants are now aware so they can’t play q smart one on anyone . It has to be free and fair

Oga , nothing like free and fair in Nigeria ...if u don't knw the meaning of Free and Fair go and find out and stop using it wrongly...Buhari must surely choose someone before 7pm today ...and a formality election would be conducted

DrStrange2000:


What are you saying ? Selecting someone from a list of candidates is still fair that annointing someone against the wish of popular majority .. the president didn’t tell the governors who to bring to him .. the selected themselves

phemmyjohnson:


This is mational politics .. tell me the governor of a states that’s not willing to annoint another incoming governor but not In national level ,. You need someone who can pull in bloc votes .. if u get it wrong at the national level , then other structures might collapse at state level

Enwhen:


That's still not free and fair... Use Google to get the meaning , don't use it wrongly

DrStrange2000:


So now you are saying even if the presidency allows the 5 or 3 of them to contest the primary it’s not still a free and fair election ..
Work doesn’t work well for you is not free

Lessonteacher:

what's good for the goose is good for the gander. If it's good for tinubu and "former" governors " to choose who to replace them and the party supports them. it's good if we use the same logic at the national level

Enwhen:


Baba , u go hard to reach o... Browse FREE AND FAIR and compare it to reality on political election in Nigeria ... Na wa

DrStrange2000:


Seems your aspirant was not among the selected 5 .. argue no more

phemmyjohnson:


That’s the difference.. State politics do not need help or votes from other states ..national politics have to take into consideration the votes it will need from all states .
