iHart:
my concern is not about who have ruled and how long he has ruled. It is about those contesting, no Southerner is showing interest. When the south was ruling, they had enough Northerners contesting against them.

neezar:
markarfi ain't popular in the south

TonyeBarcanista:
This shows you don't know anything about politics.

He's least popular yet he was begged by all organs of PDP to be the National Chairman to help unite the party and lead it to the right path even when he never showed a single interest.

He's not a strong candidate yet he defeated Hunkuyi backed by Buhari in 2003 Governorship and still defeated Buhari's backed ANPP and CPC candidates in Kaduna North Senate elections in 2007 and 2011 respectively despite the gang up by some members of PDP in Kaduna state.

If you don't know, Makarfi is the MOST respected leader in PDP as at today with strong and formidable structures within and outside the party in all six geopolitical zones.

Have you seen him running after "Wike and Fayose" like many people are doing? He has class... He has all his stuffs figured out!

BTW PDP loss in Kaduna state in 2015 was due to the animosity against JONATHAN, Yero and PDP as a brand... Unlike in some other states that was due to Buhari's wave (eg Katsina)

Oluwaiphee:
To be very Objective, the only candidate PDP has with nationwide popularity, good will, pedigree and know how is Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
Say whatever you like about the man but if PDP stand a chance it has to be with ATIKU. No matter how good we think Dankwambo is (i personally think he is the best candidate), but outside the north, Dankwambo is not even known, well Lamido still has some corruption case against him, Well, Makarfi is a perfect leader but politics is not always white or black. I will just advise them to go with the man ATIKU!! My one cent.

Atiku is the only man who can unseat buhari because he's popular both in the Southern and Northern Nigeria. PDP should not make the mistake of bringing out any of Dakwanbo, Markarfi or Lamido. APC is praying seriously for PDP not to give atiku ticket

Bede2u:
The south have ruled for 13 years since 1999...for fairness, the north should be in power till at least 2023

Out of 57 years of existence, the South have ruled for 13years and you are talking about fairness to the North

hmmmmm your matter get as e be

IsaAbubakar:
gbam
they knew that the man is a big threat that's why they're attacking him even before he declared officially.

castancassy2:
Dankwambo is d best candidate for PDP but he is not popular in the southern part of Nigeria and he is not buoyant in terms of cash that can match Apc's cash. Because of this, I think Atiku should b PDP flag bearer. He is popular both in North n South.

Kalaba:
AHMED MOHAMED MAKARFI... That was the first politician name I knew as a child. Maybe cos I grew up in KD. I can't say how popular he is among the south westerners, but am sure Igbos LOVE him a lot. Though the hausa/fulani muslims here don't like him cos they see him as a 'repentant muslim' since during his governorship tenure as he was very fair in his administration.
For credibility sake, AHMED MOHAMED MAKARFI is the man. A Makaefi/Fasoye PDP ticket will do.

tuniski:
Just like Buhari lost 3 times and today he is the president! Wake up, Makarfi can't stand the brutal battles ahead. It is not about Mr Nice oooooooo! PDP must come with a disruptive approach during electioneering not conformist narrative that the APC wants! Who so ever the APC malign the most is certainly their most formidable opponent QED!

Adurofight:
Can you mention a single State Atiku can win in the North?? How many state did he win in the North when he contested as president in year 2007? Is Atiku popular among the Talakawas in the Northern part of Nigeria? Is Atiku acceptable in SouthWest? An average Yoruba people on the street believe that Atiku is a thief. How many Northern elders or people have associated themselves with Atiku since he joined PDP? How many Northern politician has tergiversated to PDP since Atiku as join the party? How many politician in Adamawa where he hails from has join him in his New party? People says charity begins at home but as at today, Adamawa State Governor is one of the leading APC Governors who are clamouring for Buhari's reelection in year 2019. All the 3 Senators in Adamawa are still in APC, Same as house of Representatives members. Non of them associated with Atiku. Give Atiku presidential ticket and I congratulate Buhari in Advance.
