God has blessed me with the skill of writing (all good things come from God), I have pledged to use the skill for the advancement of our great country and citizens.

As much as Buhari has failed woefully, we can't gamble with someone without the wit and might to advance the cause of Nigeria.

Like I told my Kogi friend, Nigerians can't afford to bring in a "Yahaya Bello" to replace an "Idris Wada".

We need one that will benefit us all irrespective of partisan affiliation

which skill...??...since when is confusing people a skill....??

look,you easterners have no chance....buhari will be elected again....after buhari its osibanjos turn....after osibanjo then una can talk....

we will not allow una to get away with calling nigeria a zoo.......

TonyeBarcanista:
Let's face the fact, Atiku is RICH but is not popular.

He has never won a Presidential primary in his life despite running for 3 Primaries.

Even when he was gifted AC ticket for free as sole aspirant, he performed woefully, losing his PU, Ward and State to Buhari in 2007.

Atiku's case is like England Football Club... Lousy minorities...

How much are you being paid for this? I can dig up your whole topics on different aspirant you ve done otimkpu for.

TonyeBarcanista:
Atiku has always been like England Football team. Every world cup they keep making themselves favorite since over 50 years yet they never reach the finale.

Same with Atiku... He always makes himself appear like favorite every election year yet he falls during primary. He's not even a threat...

The only threat to Makarfi is Makarfi... Hence, we are putting pressure on him to contest

very stupid state from a fellow Niger deltan.....ppl like u are crying that northerners are ruling Nigeria as if it's their birthright....same hypocritical u and the likes are clamouring for northerners to rule till 2023

this guy doesnt even like nigeria,now he wan save nigeria.....?

how can you betray your own family to outsiders....??

nonesense....

forget 2019 .....PDP is dead


let's face reality ...... sadly,there's no candidate that can match buhari

If makarfi is adopted, I foresee atiku decamping again.

we people of north east and north west don't like him. how can he win ?

I don't see this man challenging Buhari squarely in the North.

If you believe in miracles, the dead can be resurrected.

TonyeBarcanista,are you on medications or what....

izzou:
Im absolutely sure that Atiku is far more sellable than Markarfi in the south east, south souyh and south west.

I mean, who even knows this guy?

I'm not disputing his records and achievements. But a crippled and half dead Atiku will win this guy in the regions I stated above

Like I said, let him first win the primaries.

Una don start again. Pick Atiku and see Buhari become president for another 4 years.

Na so una carry GEJ for head until guy fail.

Think like a politician, just watch how APC will use past records to desroy Atiku's political career.

Atiku is popular for being one of D corrupt leaders in Nigeria. Bitter truth.

TonyeBarcanista:
Why not speak with fact and antecedent?

Makarfi beat Buhari in Kaduna state in 2003, 2007 and 2011 at a stretch.

He delivered Kaduna state to PDP/Yar'adua in the Presidential and Sambo in the Governorship in 2007. This was after delivering the state to himself and Obasanjo in 2003 (I stand to be corrected).

Makarfi also delivered Kaduna state to Jonathan in 2011, beating Buhari silly and also delivered Patrick Yokowa, a Christian as Governor...

Na which election wey Atiku don win for him life aside 1998 (wey we know say no much contest)?

Ure Totally correct! Since 1998 and after his fallout with obj his boss while in Govt Atiku lost alot of good will he had before hence his string of losses bt the perception of late is that he is gaining that goodwill back and fast and probably been forgiven due to his stand against buhari/Apc retrogressive policies, recent statements on important issues and perceived maturity. However this has not been tested.

He has come again

TonyeBarcanista:
How many "south" has Atiku ever won in primary election or even the general election in 2007? He has always been overrated.

Meanwhile, if you can deliver Kaduna state to a Southerner for Presidency and a Christian for Governor it means you are a strong person that people respect.

Na how many Atiku don deliver? Even Kwankwaso wey better pass Atiku was swept out of office in 2003 by Buhari wind but such wasn't strong enough for Makarfi...

You think say na by noise?

This why I see Buhari as president come 2019. Igbos don't know how to play politics.

Atiku will so fail in every region.

mtis,rvp2018 come and watch....he is at it again.....

setting blacks against each other......

you go dey accuse nigerians because of what this guy says,then you are oyo.....

lazy youths, talking makarfi instead of RESTRUCTURING. shame on you op

1. Makarfi Enjoys Goodwill of Northern Nigeria
In Kaduna state and the entire northern Nigeria, there is no single individual today that enjoys the goodwill more than Senator Ahmed Makarfi.

The minority northern Christians love him for displaying rare leadership that is lacking among Nigeria's elites by implementing policies and making utterances that unify and not those that further divide. The Muslims love him for displaying true Islamic virtue despite the fact that he isn't a vocal proponent of Shari'a like other hypocritical leaders.

Makarfi equally enjoys respect of northern elite, Christan association, non indigenous people and those in the middle belt for his consistent display of brotherly love and unity as Governor and Senator. As Senator, he backed the agitation for the creation of Gurara state for people of Southern Kaduna despite the fact that he is from Northern Senatorial district. No wonder he is so loved by the people.

2. Makarfi Is Honest, The Real "Mai Gaskyya"

It is rare in this part of the world to find a man or woman that held political positions of Governor and influential Senator for straight sixteen years without a SINGLE indictment for corruption. Ahmed Makarfi showed this rare trait that not even his traducers could pin him with anything. He is the only PDP Presidential Aspirant without indictment of graft as Governor, Senator, Chairman Senate Account Committee and former National Chairman, all within this present 4th republic.

Nigerians are aware that President Muhammadu Buhari, the false "mai Gaskyya", could not live up to the incorruptible garment worn on him during his campaign in 2015, he has proven to be false with the incessant corruption by his government and officers close to him, and his shielding of alleged corrupt allies.

3. Makarfi Is Sellable In Southwest

Come 2019 southwest, the zone of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo who many see as a disappointment, will again be the golden bride. The zone is reputed to be the most critical of candidates when it comes to election- all thanks to their political sophistication.

Southwestern voting pattern is usually unpredictably predictable. They consider antecedents of aspirants, performance of incumbents and reputation of candidates before deciding on their vote. They speak less and act more.

In 2011 they rewarded Goodluck Jonathan who came with his promise of Fresh Air but punished PDP in states and National Assembly elections, in 2014 they punished incumbent Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti but rewarded incumbent Rauf Aregbesola in Ekiti and Osun gubernatorial poll respectively. They punished Goodluck Jonathan and PDP in 2015 Presidential election in favor of "change" of Muhammadu Buhari but with the disappointing performance of President Buhari, it is only fair that PDP present an aspirant that has integrity, reputation, nonreligious/nontribal posture and one with excellent antecedent to these sophisticated people as the best alternative. Without a single corruption indictment from ANY quarters (not even one of his fiery successor and incumbent Nasir Elrufai), without allegations of religious or ethnic bias at any time, with a calm but non controversial disposition, and with reputable leadership achievements and experience, Senator Ahmed Makarfi perfectly fits the bill.

4. Makarfi Is Sellable/Acceptable In Southeast And Southsouth*

People of the southeast geopolitical zone have two unique needs; "a favorable and enabling environment to live and Operate their business" and "sense of belonging as equal partner in the Nigeria project". Absence of both by successive administration led to the call for secession.

Senator Makarfi has the reputation of providing favorable environment for people irrespective of ethnic group or religion, he also believes every stakeholder is key in the Nigeria project, these he displayed in all public positions he held in terms of appointment and service delivery. The people of Kaduna state and Middlebelt could testify to this.

With these credentials it is very easy for the people of the southeast, having unanimously rejected president Buhari who called them 5% and has been trying to bully them with false 2023 presidency, to align with Makarfi's project knowing that their interests as a group is well protected.

While it is true that Southeast is a stronghold of PDP, it is only appropriate to give them a President that will carry them along in leadership and make them feel the pride of being Nigerians, which is lacking at present.

For the SouthSouth, Makarfi doesn't have to campaign as the people know him and remember him for his impeccable deeds.

5. Makarfi Captained The Resurgent PDP, Nigeria Deserve A Resurgence:
Nigerians and PDP members will agree that it took the efforts and leadership of Senator Ahmed Makarfi to ensure the non collapse of PDP even when it appeared all hope was lost. He stood firm, showed willingness to give up his position as National Chairman for the sake of the party only if then factional Chairman Ali Modu Sheriff would allow peace deal. He stood firm to see PDP bounce back even when all Governors under the party platform (including a certain aspirant) were playing hide and seek game save Governors Nyesom Wike and Ayo Fayose of Rivers and Ekiti states respectively. Makarfi maintained leadership and calm even after the setback from court of Appeal that declared him illegal, a pronouncement that even led some party chieftains (yours faithfully included) to seek a fresh alternative until the Supreme court right the wrong. He displayed rare leadership by extending hands of fellowship to Sheriff's group and prevailed on those that had left to return "home", which led to return of people, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Rasheed Ladoja, Gbenga Daniel and others.

Makarfi has earned the trusts of party members by not betraying the party like Sheriff did (due to his inordinate ambition), he deserve the ticket of the party so as to put Nigeria back on the pedestal of greatness to make our country great again.

6. Makarfi Possess Strong Electoral Value
In 1998 he won the Governorship election of Kaduna state by landslide. In 2003 he triumphed over Buhari backed Suleiman Hunkuyi despite the propaganda employed against him by Buharists that he was unfair to 'Muslims' and theyy even tagged him "Pastor Makarfi" just because he accommodated all religions. In 2007 he triumphed over Buhari backed ANPP candidate in the Senatorial election, delivered his Kaduna state to PDP in both Presidential and Gubernatorial elections of that year and in favor of Umaru Yar'adua and Namadi Sambo respectively. In 2011 he delivered Kaduna north senatorial zone and entire Kaduna state to Goodluck Jonathan and late Patrick Yokowa in the then Presidential and Governorship election, and retained his own Senatorial seat.

However, in 2015, after THREE straight victory over Buhari and his candidates, he lost for the first time due to no fault of his but the overgrown animosity against Goodluck Jonathan, the PDP and then incumbent Ramalan Yero after the people of Kaduna decided to give Buhari and his gang a trial, which they now regret.

It is instructive to note that Makarfi was begged by the All Progressive Congress to abandon PDP and Jonathan and make a switch like most of his colleagues had done but he declined. He believed and still believe that power comes from God.

He lost the Senate but God rewarded him the National Chairmanship of PDP, the largest party in Nigeria, where he served diligently. Nigerians need such a man for the Presidency because with Makarfi, we are assured that the country won't be betrayed

Who else could match these qualities?

Truth is Atiku is famous but not popular within political context. Fame and popularity are two different things...

2 face is famous but politically he's not.

Only God knows what happened to your APDA after series of your promotional articles accompanied with your imaginary APDA-ideology.

Now you've come again with Markarfi.

Hope you won't turn to another political prostitute
