Yadayada SW VP or Atiku loses in a landslide

TheGuyNextDoor:
Osinbajo is a good man but unfortunately some of us will abandon him because of the people he's paired with. We are talking about a Nation here not tribe. ATIKU might later disappoint too but we need a listening President. See the issues of SARS.... Osinbajo was able to fix when Buhari travelled. He didn't care.... We need to save this country. May God help us

3Ebisco:
There are indications that presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has narrowed his search for a running mate to the South East geo-political region.

LEADERSHIP gathered yesterday that the search for the party’s vice president’s slot has further been narrowed to Enugu and Abia States in the zone. The PDP has till October 18 to submit the names of its presidential candidate and his running mate to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in line with the commission’s timetable.

A PDP source who is privy to the decision at a meeting of the South East caucus of the party held in the build up to the presidential primaries said the position was further narrowed to the two South East states.


The source added that deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu; former minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe were mentioned during the meeting. The space was also open to persons from other state in the zone, with former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, tipped as a possible choice in the event where those considered from the two states are rejected.

It was learnt the former vice president was open to work with the former minister of finance who has represented Abia State in the past but, stakeholders from the state opposed his choice. A move to replace the minister with the incumbent governor was also resisted by “other governors and party chieftains at the meeting who said he was not qualified for the position.

“The Enugu people put forward a serving Senator (Ekweremadu), while the name of a serving senator from Abia (Abaribe) was also considered. But so far, no name has been adopted. These are just names that he was presented with. He has to submit the names today.” It was also gathered that the South West has also launched a lobby for the position on grounds that it would serve as compensation for the way the region was sidelined during the national chairmanship contest last year, which went to the South South. Ohanaeze Gives Conditions For Support Meanwhile, Ohanaeze Ndigbo yesterday insisted that only a running mate from the South East will be a suitable pair for PDP to win the 2019 presidential election in the zone.

Reacting to the victory of former Vice President Atiku, Ohaneze Youth Council Worldwide led by Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro said Atiku is the right man for the job.


The youth wing of socio-cultural group warned however that Ndigbo would work against PDP if Atiku fails to pick his running mate from the Igbo extraction. Isiguzoro said, “Majority of Igbos believes in Restructuring and majority of Igbo youths wants referendum because of the economic hardship in the country.

We believe that Atiku campaign for restructuring will win the hearts of Nigerians and a possible pair of running mate from South East will quell the quest for referendum by agitators and Igbo Youths. “We insists that any betrayal of denying Ndigbo the vice presidential slot of PDP will make Ndigbo dump PDP in the presidential election, but vote PDP in the gubernatorial elections in Abia, Ebonyi and Enugu”,. The group further said that the zone has better personalities like Peter Obi, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Senator Ike Ekweremadu and Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe who are fit for the vice presidential job. The group warned that it will work against the PDP by mobilising youths in the zone to vote for another party if Atiku fails to pick his running mate from the South East.


Atiku on Sunday defeated 11 other aspirants to pick the party’s ticket. He is main challenger to incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in next year’s presidential election. Meanwhile, the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), the umbrella body of over 40 opposition political parties, has congratulated the PDP and all other coalition parties in the grand Alliance for their successful primaries. Spokesperson of CUPP, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, in a statement said, “The end of the primary process of the individual parties today marks the beginning of the main work of the CUPP, which is to select a consensus candidate from the over 15 presidential candidates that have emerged from parties that are members of the CUPP grand alliance. “The process that will lead to the emergence of the grand coalition candidate of the CUPP will start in earnest this week. Sending the incompetent President Buhari-led APC government to the political dustbin of landslide electoral defeat is a task that Nigerians are eagerly waiting to accomplish with the CUPP come 2019”.

So you think Atiku is the man to save the country right. I don’t even know why we southerners are thinking this way. It’s just a common knowledge that both Buhari and Atiku are old men without any capabilities of ruling this country. Come to think of it, if we allow Atiku to become president , that means we are allowing probably 8years of irresponsible leadership from this old northern corp of leaders. Atiku is corrupt to the bone and it beats my imagination that people keep anchoring for an Atiku. It just saddens me, I think Nigeria deserves everything we get Caz we just can’t think right.

Ask yourself if this is the kind of president you want for Nigeria.

CityNGR:
Not possible. If he picks Igbo he should forget any SW vote. That's a banker. And even if he gets all southeast votes...he will still be roundly defeated... Igbos don't understand Nigerian politics... I'd rather support Osinbajo even if I dislike Buhari than support an Atiku with a Igbo VP!

Bede2u:
eat shit and die bro. Even u show me pics of atiku robbing a bank, i will still vote him

Funnicator:
Keep supporting your brother; while Nigeria burns and hundreds get killed as in the case of Agatu and Enugu community.

Tribalism has beclouded your sense of justice.

To you, a leader who is not security conscious can remain in power just because he is from your tribe, while neglecting the one preaching restructuring as in case of atiku.

After all you will call yourself a patriotic Nigerian. 
Your type is keeping Nigeria from progressing.
If it were in the time of coups, you would have been taken down for the progress of the nation.

Patriotic you my foot.

I’m just laughing in Spanish. I want to see how the Yorubas will abandon their son Osinbajo for an Atiku/Igbo candidature.

2019 will be interesting. Haha

Buhari will lose massively in the North central and lose a huge number oof votes from the NE/NW.The SS/SE will make up for the SW

Funnicator:
Shut up. So because it didn't start in Buhari era then he can't end it in his era?

What was he elected to do?

End only things that started in his era?

You Yorubas have a weird interpretation of leadership.

*spits

IamAtikulate:
Yes, it started under Buhari.

You know and you people are still trying to backmail PDP into giving you a ticket you didn't work for. No wonder the rest of the country see you people as Lazy.

I am glad 2019 would make us square up against the SW, at the end, we shall see who truly is the Kingmakers. We are going to utilize our spread across the nation to deal a deadly blow against the satanic NW/SW alliance.

We are certain that SS, MB wouldn't fail the NE/SE alliance.

It would be interesting.

IamAtikulate:
Those people are willing to burn the country just because of VP. Knowing that the odds are against them, they are now trying to blackmail PDP for a ticket they didn't work for. How many of their brothers did they butchered just to make sure PDP didn't retain Ekiti or win Osun?

SE left APC for them. Even when Oyegun tenure elapsed and SE was line to produce the next, they hurriedly chose Oshiomole through consensus, did we ask any question?

No. Why? Because we hate APC to the core and didn't want to align with them in anyway. But our sophisticated brothers that hate PDP first asked for National Chairman, but were denied and now have started asking for VP.

Nothing for them. President (NE), VP (SE), SP (MB), DSP (SS), Speaker (NE), Deputy Speaker (NW), Senate Leader (SW). If they can't manage Senate Leader, then there is nothing we could do about it.

TundeBricklayer:
Also don't forget , there are large number of Igbos, and minorities from Niger delta and middle belt in across southwest especially Lagos, Ogun, Oyo and Ondo. Same will happen in 2019 APC will win all western states but PDP will grab enough votes in west because of Igbos and other minorities, in 2015 we experienced voters apathy in southeast because of Mbaka factor, and GEJ was reluctant with eastern voters he was busy dishing out money to western leaders and north and ignored east, and didn't do much in infrastructures unlike now Igbo and other minorities are bitter with PMB, during 2011 presidential election state like Anambra gave PDP 1.1 million votes, Imo 1.1, Abia 1.3 million Enugu 802.144, Ebonyi 480.492. Igbos will vote massively across the country if they see their own as VP to Atiku.
Below is 2015 and 2011, for those that said Igbos have no electoral value are very ignorant.

sarrki:

PaChukwudi44:
Atiku is not hoping on votes only from the SS/SE.This is not GEJ.Wake up dude.He is also a Muslim and a northerner and will pull significant votes from the core north aand middle belt. most yyorubas will vote APC anyway whether a sw VP emerges or not including you and Sarrki

bestpunterever:
what you guys don't understand is that Atiku can't defeat Buhari in the north, didn't Atiku contest in 2011, did he win any state? No kwankaso would have even been a formidable opposition in the north for Buhari.

Sap0:
lol.. you zombies are so funny, osun election should have taught some of you a lesson, APC propaganda do not work again, people are getting wiser.
pls who made Osinbajo our son..Osinbajo that will even loose to Buruji/Adebutu in his own local government.
Yorubas are not senseless or brainlesslike the Hausa people down north.

Wow wonderful analogy. I pray Atiku follow your lead and appoint a S’eastern VP. That will be great. Are you happy now?

olawalepopoola:
If he picks from the East, Osibanjo factor will play out it the west and will be very hard for the north to vote for him [bold]cos of the political rifts[/bold] between the Igbos and most part of the country
