In our meeting, all the governors wanted Amaechi as vice. We had settled for him when we left. However, Tinubu wanted to be the VP, but most people were opposed to it, at the end we decided to pick Prof, since Tinubu insisted on a South West candidate. We hope that Amaechi's role as campaign DG will win us at least 25% of votes from the SE and SS. Meanwhile, those that have to play their cards better in the Nigerian political space are the Igbos.

The Yoruba's have gotten more out of Nigeria that our SE brothers ! They play smart politics , choose when to ally with the center and when to oppose it smartly NOT based of prejudice and bigotry! This way , they gain while some other folks hold on to a frankly delusional dislike for another group and consistently outdo themselves! If you want to sink with GEJ an incompetent man because you want to use him to "deny" the North power, by all means do so, but remember that you also push power further away from yourself because YOU NEED ALLIANCES (even if it is with your perceived enemies) to ever get to power! When I look West or North, I don't see the SE forming any alliances , hence I can confidently conclude that they have miscalculated again! Would you guys go and hang yourselves in 2019 when PDP rotates power to the North and your much hated Hausa-fulani muslim northerner becomes president ? Would you then run to the SW and say let's oppose them? Tinubu is a brilliant politician , he probably distrusts the North more than you do, but he understand that ALLIANCES rather than bigotry is the route to power in a country with major ethnic groups and power blocks! Give or take power will certainly reach the SW AGAIN before the SE , bc APC or PDP understands that they need this block! Okorocha understands this, and I am sure many pragmatic Igbos felt proud of him when he mounted the podium at the APC convention to add an Igbo voice to what has become A NATIONAL CRY FOR CHANGE! you cannot as a result of unfounded bigotry hold the whole nation back! It is not a good reason to do so! Reminds me of the biblical "fake mother " who asked Solomon that the baby which was not hers be divided! ! This is what you guys did in 2011 and are doing now ! You will sacrifice Nigeria on the platter of bigotry and hatred if even it destroys you? How can you hate another , more than you love yourself ? I say rethink your motivations, I would respect whoever you choose to support as long as it is bc of his competence or lack of it , but to hate a pleural entity "Hausa-fulani muslim north? Is silly and won't get you anywhere!

Sweetlemon:
All of you laughing about Ameachi not geting VP slot. Although I am disappointed he didn't get it, I can't remember seeing Ameachi showing much interest in it. He's not crying or fighting anybody to get the post for himself, so what's your own?

Amaechi from what I have seen has been more like a backbone to APC. Giving them his support because he seems to believe so much in APC. I believe he's more like investing in the future. Making his mark and carving a niche for himself.

courage54:
If this news is true, then PDP should be ready to pack their bags and baggages and vacate aso rock immidiately.
Because Amaechi is a tough and fearless politician who will bring more vibrance to the campaign team.


My conscience won't just permit me to vote for Jonathan who has a six years opportunity to create a change but went viral into cluelessness. A president who can not bring the sponsors of Boko-Haram who he claims are in his government to book.

The time for change is now

Vote BUHARI for President

God Bless Nigeria
God Bless Niger-Delta

Collynzo9:
When we voted Yaradua and Obasanjo, it wasn't because of tribal and religious sentiments.
Don't mind the idîots, everytime Igbo this, Igbo that.

KwoiZabo:
The Igbos are the smartest politicians. They know when to oppose and when to support. They know at this point nobody can unseat a SS man from power and we are not opposed to the North. An Igbo man would prefer not to have the presidency at all than having one that will dance to the tune of other tribes. Igbos don't play second fiddle.

EUROBOMBER:
Don't mind that sensless cramjones who has lost relevance on Nairaland. The yorubas somehow seem to have come to accept second class staus and have accepted alhaji as lord and master.

ilugunboy:
Calm down....you are one angry young man.

Here is a pix of the Prof....Nigeria's incoming Vice-President

EUROBOMBER:
I have news for you, he is going to join the long list of former VP aspirants under Buhari because he will NOT be vice president of Nigeria. Vice president kor semi president ni. I have ordered ten containers of hankerchiefs for Buhari/Osinbajo becuase they have a lot of crying to do next year. Ilugunboy, you will need some too, same as Berem, Obiagelli, Barcanista, Orlandoowoh, Omenka, Ngeneukwenu, Desola, etc.

Hope there will be VP candidates debate? While Buhari is taking Jonathan to the cleaners, Osinbajo will be exposing the cluelessness of Sambo. Osinbajo will prove that he worths his PhD unlike that of Jonathan.

ilugunboy:


Let me humor you a bit...keep the containers for yourself and your co-travelers...you will need it more.....there will be gnashing of teeth with loads of regrets in your camp come Feb 2015.

Ours will be tears of victory.

EUROBOMBER:
No need for too much talking, let us wait and see. I pray God spare our lives to witness the elections next year.

Don't even go there....... the Prof will knock off the sail in PDP boat with just one single debate session.

PDP was warned about this religion thing.....that it could backfire...now PDP is presently in disarray on how to respond to this masterstroke from APC....

allcomage:
This is arrant nonsense. You have postulated that Igbo hate Hausa fulani and that Yoruba nation is home and dry by an alliance few Yoruba are into with the core North and that Igbo have lost out? Do you in your widest dream think that Gmb will win Jeg? I suppose Igbo nation by her stance is on the right path. The working alliance bw Ss and Se took others napping. If it is sustained,they will hold Nigeria by the balls economically and politically.Ss/Se will never vote Gmb because the Hausa Fulani version of Islam is anti education,anti progress,anti development,so oppressive that they are against what Se/Ss stand for now. It is even embarrassing to most Yoruba as progressives seeing few religious bigots pulling them towards Core North. Water and oil don't mix well. Gmb Achilles heel is the Middle belth.plateau,benue,taraba,nasarawa,adamawa,southern Kaduna,kwara,kogi,southern bauchi,niger,gombe, then in Sw ekiti,Lagos ogun.watch out in next and get back to me. Performance is not the criterion,ethnicity and religion are still at the forefront when the chips are down.He that stands need no fall.I think Igbo have crawled back to the centre and you want them come out and be fighting from the fringe. But in all honesty,what I think you should be concerned is to amend the constitution to devolve power at the centre for the component units to develop at their pace and priority. I assure you with the present setup of this country,no body no matter how disciplined,religious,astute,ethnicity will give you the Eldorado you so much yawn for.

Sai Buhari!!

isalegan2:
Happy Holidays, Beremola.

I'm surprised Buhari didn't insist on selecting an Igbo vice presidential candidate. I think that would have been a better choice that would garner more votes for him.

I hate for Buhari to lose and Naija saddled with several more years of this clueless zoo man that's selling the future of our children to the highest (international) bidder.
