Stop quoting me, you are too dull for my liking.

It still baffles why there is no one in PDP who is an Igbo that wants to contest for the presidency. Despite that the party is strong among them. Does it mean there is no qualified and competent individual among them? It is still the northerners that scramble it among themselves. Now, come 2019, it is going to be northerner versus northerners (the ruling and the closest opposition).
Later Igbo will be shouting marginalisation. They will be saying no Igbo man has become the president of this country.

PDP having a zoning policy, it's a well known fact. I personally think it's regressive, you will never the get the best with that type of formula..

excanny:
Can you explain why it is delusional?

Lol. Nigeria has more diversity.

Before we even begin, can you tell me why you think your equal vote stuff will benefit your candidate or your party! Also give me an instance of an election in Nigeria where a candidate won more states (not more votes) but didn't win the election!

Which kind zoning policy?

senatordave1:
My brother,that second term declaration is a smokescreen or a fall back.his primary aim is to be vice president,any governor will want this.it is the easiest way to aso rock if you have clout an influence.someone like wike if he becomes vice president will be unstoppable if power returns south.all the money hes spending for pdp is not for nothing.


Zoning the vp to the west is a strategic mistake and would boost buhari's chances further.the only south west pdp options are fayose,daniels,agbaje and none of them can win their states or win the south west or can be compared to yemi.no matter what pdp does,apc will always win the south west narrowly.denying the east the vp slot will further push them into apc and apga and lead to either election apathy or vote division.
As i predicted,the pdp have started taking the ss/se bloc votes for granted.they cant expect them to always vote pdp enmasse.this zone is too educated to be overlooked.denying them vp slot will also make them believe in apc promise of giving them presidency in 2023 while pdp may never give them.
In any case,no matter what pdp does,apc will likely win next year.apga presidential candidate will always divide south east votes while apc have already divided south south votes.the post also talked about south east governors not funding pdp which is a big signal.many of them are pro-buhari.only wike in the ss is truly anti buhari.the only way for pdp to win is if they can win ss/se with a wide margin and not allowing apc to get reasonable votes while eating into buhari's nw/ne votes and then winning the north central

What u just wrote is the reason why I changed my mind to vote for buhari.

MYHUBBY:
I never knew secondus was from SE. I used to think he's from rivers state.


still SS is locked down for PDP as PDP control majority States in SS. so no implication for not picking VP from there and as for SE they've chairman and none of their PDP politician can pull political weight out of East


East need to learn extension politics. fayose is loved by Igbo's just because of this political extension, even jimi agbaje is loved by them. southwest politicians surely know the game of politics except some few who are not interested in national politics

Secondus is not from the south east, I meant the zoning of the VP position should come from the south east since Secondus is from the south south.

For states election you are correct but federal you are wrong sir. Igbo would massively vote PDP even in imo state during presidential election,fact..Saraki exposee will further affect APC chances even in imo state where okorocha hold sway

senatordave1:
You lie sir.when ojukwu contested under apga,he got at least 30% in all south east states when apga was weak talkless of now.if it repeats itself next year,it will damage pdp.apga is the dominant party in anambra and will attract large votes in any polls while pdp is getting weaker.in imo,most apc supporters have moved to apga and would rival pdp.same in abia.an average ibo loves apga than any other party

Can you explain why having an equal number of delegates for each zone is delusional?

senatordave1:
Oga,south east can never give up to 6 million votes.only north west does that.the south east has 8 million voters.based on the average turnout in the country,4-5 million votes is enough.the highest they ever gave was 5 million in 2011 to gej.but with card reader technology in 2015,their true turnout showed with them not churning out up to 3 million.
With northerners on the ballot,total votes here cant be more than 2.5 million with apga getting at least 1 million.

What about igbos outside south east. I know the voting powers of the south easterners outside their region will be counted for the respective regions where they stay but the thing is there's this kind of relationship between those outside their region and those in their region. you can't take those in the region for granted and expect their people outside the region to vote for you.

You think oba of lagos doesn't have a reason for threatening igbos if they don't vote for Ambode?

or you think the various governors in other regions associating with them mostly after/before election are daft or dumb.

I think in south east, there's apathy, people don't want to partake in election matters due to lack of trust in the government or lack of awareness or other reasons.
In reality, I hope you know they are the largest ethnic group in Nigeria

Because the idea is the dumbest thing ever! One would have to question the IQ of whoever thinks about such idiocy!
How does making each state's votes have the same weight no matter the population of each state mean equity & fairness?

Igbo is largest ethnic group?

How times have you noticed me referring to the Yorubas as Afonjas?

Why are you lying shamelessly about never referring to the Yorubas as Afonjas? Do you need me to give you evidence?
Just accept the fact that you're also a bigot & move on!

famosh:
Chinedu my ibo brother, daftness isn't by not going to school! For example, Ebelemi & his wife are educated but they're extremely daft!
The gorilla descendants from the landlocked region are actually the daftest things in the world!
Cheers!

My dear yoruba muslim brother, education and daftness are related. Tinubu wants yorubas like you to start thinking like almajiri zombies, so he is killing education in yorubaland. Today Osun and oyo are beneath Borno in educational development. Thiefnuubu our oga is succeeding in making we yoruba muslims daft.

Lmao, never mind some of these political illiterates.
Even Americans that practice the kind of Federalism that our own pseudo-federalism is modeled after, don't allocate equal number of electoral-college votes to all states.

That's the truth, kiss it...

If you have not been to the north, you won't understand.

Do you know that they are the most populous Nigerians in diaspora, and that they have the highest number of people that are in other regions(every other regions in Nigeria).

This is why the SE needs to turn out low. Cos if a person believes your vote is sure, they take you for granted.

SE dont know how to play politics, theyve cornered themselves, dont turn out to vote and you ensure another 4 years of APC, turn out and PDP wont thank you.

It is not today that PDP started treating Igbos like a conquered people. But APGA will fill the void.

fergie001:
That is the most realistic thing to do,politically..........
Our leaders in the SE have made us look so disinterested in participating in elections across board.......
They are practically doing nothing,so how would you get any urge to get your pvc?
The underdevelopment is causing heavy migration away from that zone,so the zone is left virtually empty......Nonetheless,most Igbos outside the region do have their PVCs.....the simple truth is that our government at the level of the states are our undoing....
They don't fund party activities and still don't build roads or factories,they don't pay salaries save for one of two,so where does the money go?they are more interested in coming back for 2nd term because they know they have failed terribly....
It is not by sponsoring your daughter's husband for an office or inviting Cristiano Ronaldo to open a stadium that development will crawl in...I am Igbo but that is the bitter truth,the ones who have pvc would vote the pdp...but they don't have the numbers...
It will be political harakiri to pick an Igbo VP for now......no cash to spare,no voting bloc......instead we Igbos should look at influencing elections at the state level for now; forget buhari for now,he is a problem but for the Igbos...our governors,ministers and representatives are our immediate biggest problems.....
The national Chairman is SS,I don't think they will pick there cos virtually all of them won't gamble 2nd term for an uncertain VP...
It's definitely the SW........
"To make gold,it must pass through fire."
"To make a positive difference, sacrifices must be made."

Best thread from a South easterner I have read till date on any social media forum.
Nwokem Chukwu gozie gị

ORIENTATION101:
does their votes accrue to south east??
Whoever the igbos in yorubaland voted for either pdp or apc .
southwest region is the beneficiary of the votes politically.maybe you need to brain transplant to figure it out

IS se a presidential candidate? what the guy is saying is that even in those non igbo states and zones that pdp also has many people and that the registered voters currently in the east should not be a yardstick to determine the impact/or the lack of it thereof ( of the igbo) in the elections in other words no one should term them as insignificant. and pls stop those memes i'm not a boy. definitely not your boy

Mynd44:
If Saraki wins the primary, it will be silly to pick a SW VP. They will have to go to the SS if the reports of this article is true.

But if Atiku wins, I guess Gbenga Daniels will be on his way to be his running mate

The zoning is not by tribe but by region. Saraki is from North. Nothing should stop him picking a SW for VP.

zlantanfan:
We will not take this!

Igbo have always been pdp, how can Yoruba get vp from both apc and pdp?

We sacrificed apga for this crumbs

Why dont you ask why North is getting Presidential from both APC and PDP?

In as much as you don't have a veritable data to back BB that claim, please don't mislead people.

Igbo tribe can never be the majority in Nigeria today

Have you been to the North? Why do you like lying? Yorubas are more than Ibos in population! Which diaspora are you talking about? Even in Ghana, Yoruba outnumber Ibos ten to one
