I followed closely, the APC National convention through out the day, sharing my time between work and information I left work early (9pm) and went to the Teslim Balogun stadium to witness a major event in the history of Nigeria, one that decides our future. I spent sometime there, and after seeing with my eyes the family structured convention, where Fayemi was up and down to make sure, everything is on point for the major event,I zoomed off home. I realised an atmosphere of Democracy was prevailing in the environment, all contestants had banners and deir fans all over the place, I particularly recognized Okorochas pple everywhere, and I said to myself, here is another man giving the Igbos an opportunity to line up and vote for deir blood, and not being attached with the South or being deceived that PDP is an Igbo party when the President, vice president, Senate president, House of rep are not from their land. I got home, I decided to put on the tv and continue the follow up. And then I put it on AIT, I was surprised it was being aired, becasuse as known AIT is controlled by Jonathan through Dokpesi, NTA is a govt controlled station, likewise Stv, where the chairman just won a PDP ticket to contest for the sente. With my sleepy eyes I settled down to watch my assumed Apc convention. After 15 mins I noticed the leaking Umbrella on my Tv screen, and then it confirmed my AIT-PDP connection. It was at that point I realized PDP had their own national convention in Abuja same day, with APC, the only Agenda for the election was the selection of the president, then I appreciated what ApC was doing, giving us the previlege of feeling what political tension feels like, even for the Taniods, they are all ears praying Atiku wins the Ticket, it's still part of the feeling your part can't give you. Through out the day I did not see or hear it on radio, Tv, Twitter, Facebook, even our Nairaland that PDP have a convention, but multiple threads have been opened for the APC election. I remember in the days of Peter odilii-Obasanjo elections, (Odili stepped down) when you see the moderator counting the votes keep saying "Obasanjo, Obasanjo...after 50 Obasanjo's, then they sight a vote for another candidate, that was when PDP was relevant, but now they don't even make the news...Nigerians are tired of an autocratic system. Never in the history of PDP has there been a selection process in which all forms were withheld. If all parties did selection, what will we be discussing and throwing jabs at ourselves on? As Nigeria stays on a standby to vote for their candidate, I implore you all to use your brains. Merci.

we all know who PDP's presidential candidate is. Everyone is anxious to know who will be APC's presidential candidate.

Even PDP members in their own convention will be monitoring APC's convention more than theirs.

SaiBuharii:
I just realized that PDP are also holding their convention too, and there is no close thread about it. But the whole Nigeria is on a standard for APC I believe we are holding the main elections todayy

That's because everyone already knows PDP's flag bearer, There's no need to be interested in theirs.

this stup!d boy is at it again

Nobody cares about PDP except looters. The whole of twitter is trending with #APCDecides. It seems no one cares about #PDPDecides, even the few who do still had their comments centered around #APCDecides, a good reason why I believe the PDP members currently at the eagles care would have the body in abuja but their mind deep in what's going on in teslim balogun stadium lagos.

This one no suppose surprise anybody na. Their noise and confusion is the only reason people pay attention to their primary. PDP had maturely concluded any issue on flag-bearer long ago. PDP convention is more of celebration and partying than political event.

Dont worry, we'll send them into oblivion proper next year by God's grace.

This is your first and most likely your last convention ever.

It's obvious you didnt take your medication this night.

Now You know the Real Deal!!!!!!

Let's wait & see what happens after Feb 14th 2015, if they (APC) ll form a pararell govt.

OP.. You dey reason am again? For primaries to be this transparent and not someone emerging a flag bearer by some "understandable power".. We have heard about the ideas of turn around by some past heroes, it's heartwarming to see it happen in my own time the ability for the people to decide true governance and democracy.
