If Atiku is saying the only qualification he has to become president is that he's from North. Well and good. That means on the election day, the North should vote for him, and the South shouldn't.

- Rotimi Amaechi

How and when did Atiku say that is the ONLY qualification he has?

Did he not say he has experience with Obasanjo for the golden era of Nigeria, when petrol was cheap, debt was low, inflation was low, unemployment was low, corruption was low, insecurity was low etc?

All the better things are the result of consistent deregulation and privatisation policies.

thisweekng:
The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.

He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.

He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.

“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.

“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.”
Private sector to drive the economy

Opposition indeed

And we did not hear noise about turn or no trun .they even allowed southern candidates to participate

Cajal:
They organized a very transparent primary
Late PMB
KWANKEANSO
ATIKU
OKOROCHA
OGBONAYO
.....in that order

The master strategist waited behind because he has read it to be the turn of the north

Let them organize a very transparent primary

Sadly is a game of number
Atiku will have his way

Op stop spreading fake news
Amaechi never said this
He was even asked to clarify further and he said he was using Atiku AS AN EXAMPLE since the lady asked a question.
He boldly said he does not believe the ticket should be zoned


And I'm sure this fake news will hit fp soon

Melezenawii:
This was never a coalition. It wasn't and it will never be

Did u watch the video or u just follow headline

Kdon2:
What's this one saying? As soon as you join the mob it becomes difficult to talk rationally 🤣

It's funny how his point flew over u.

U guys in tinubu camp never liked Buhari.
It's all hatred for Jonathan that made u vote him and supported him as he destroyed the country for 8yrs

Point 2, you never liked the country, you just wanted a share of the national cake. And because buhari is the only means for u to get to presidency, you supported him. Now u have the power, you brought out your true colour.

Why is it so difficult for the coalition contenders to unite?

Why is it so difficult for some of them to put personal desires aside?

Ofunaofu:
Who branded Osinbanjo a betrayer for daring to contest against Tinubu for the APC presidential ticket

You are always Odd out of all the Comments.

It unfortunate you can't sleep without mentioning Tinubu or APC in a day and there many of you like that!
Your Hates and Bitterness will not destroy you.
Always read the messages well before commenting!

Searching should go and sit down, seems like most rivers guys do talk alot and act weird, dude is working for tinubu

You APC tools should stop twisting what people said for once.

What sort of desperation is that?

Nowhere did Amaechi say the South shouldn't vote for Atiku, you tools

Blankstare:
You will be surprised Ameachi works for Tinubu

Even Peter OBI works for Tinubu.
This one no be surprise oo

Kdon2:
They all know atiku will get the ticket already. They are just gang of haters of Tinubu not that they like atiku.

Not that they love the country

Kdon2:

So opposition to you is now hatred
Your Tinubu has been in opposition all his life and now all of a sudden there won't be opposition against him because he is your
personal lord and saviour

Gunayo:
Atiku greed will end his political career.

Political career wey don already end, the man is just deceiving himself

A Christian must be president this time

Amaechi has gone rogue

Gunayo:
Atiku greed will end his political career.

He should be the Final Boss like Obasanjo not running for president. Me that I am 45 I have cut off so much of my ambition in life. He had been running for so long. If I was the one I'd back someone else and go and rest.

Blankstare:

you may be surprised that Amaechi is doing this to make people feel the ADC is fragmented so Tinubu might let them be.
obi and rufai also has been vocal lately against Atiku

I’m not sure where you’re getting the urge to spew bile and ethnic bigotry, but it has nothing to do with my comment.

My response was to someone on Nairaland who claimed that Tinubu didn't attacked his competitors within the APC before, during, or after the 2022 primaries, a claim I already debunked citing the Osinbajo case

Whatever frustration you’re carrying, it isn’t mine to manage. Kindly direct it where it belongs.

I know say Ameachi no go gree for Atiku the hijacker, if not for Atiku greed, he would have become the president after GEJ but he supported Buhari 2015, left the party, joined apc, then left APC to contest against Buhari, has been contesting since then.
He was jumping from one party to other instead of staying and building it and stabilizing it, see how Tinubu took his time and built APC

Which ticket, adc will look like pdp, obi has achieved kwankwaso so to he'll with Atiku ADC

Both Atiku and Amaechi are too ambitious

The only thing that has brought them together is greed and they can never move forward collectively because it was never a collective intention.

They should enjoy their coalition in pieces.

Anyone that's against the greed of the Cameroonian thief is always working for Tinubu I guess you need Oraimo cord round your neck

Mr. Amaechi, your response to whatever Alhaji Atiku Abubakar said (if true) is divisive and absolutely not healthy for the modern day politics in Nigeria and to your party ADC at all. You are indirectly paving way for another party to win, because it will lead to scattered votes.

This so-called coalition is a dumping ground for disgruntled, rejected, and ineffective politicians—serial party hoppers now masquerading as champions of democracy.
It’s not built on vision or principle, but on raw desperation and personal ambition. The same self-interest holding it together today will rip it apart tomorrow. it’s programmed to fail from inception.

ILoveNG:
It has been ADC vs ADC these days.

I know it wasn’t like this when APC was forming coalition

You guys don't understand politics. Should they be praising each other? They are all in a competition against each other for the ticket so they will attack each other.
Don't you watch primaries everywhere in the world.
As a chess player in the university for we to have representations for competition we will play among ourselves to have winners to represent us. Such matches use to be very tough.
So because they are all coalition you think they will not fight for the ticket. You don't know nothing.

They have started, tomorrow they will blame APC and Tinubu

Jonathan should please as a matter of urgency should step out to join the race, all of the present main political actors are full shenanigans,Obi and kwankwaso are spoiler, while Atiku have too much baggage on his neck, Rotimi is nobody in Nigeria political equation and the present ruler that call himself leader is a combination of bad luck, a criminal misfortune that no any nation should have.

And if Adc presidential ticket is not for Obi

Let Tinubu continue to dey rule
