Corrected

Meaning what??


Am anambra before igbo.

So her vision comes first.

globemoney:

Okonjo Iweala who is not from Anambra is my first choice then Soludo then Akinwunmi Adesina. I’m not a tribalist

And who is mentioning tribalist here?

Calm down, you can only get your choice if you sell well you know

Am an Igbo and a Nigerian, this is politics and not business, this is a game and not to be taken serious. This is a game of interest and benefit.

I know you added adesina to give you a cover of whatever you are, but have to try that to dislodge that fact, but you know what, I don't really care.

I stand with the Igbos on this one am an Igbo and I have the job of fighting for their interest in this one in my one little capacity and it will never make people like me a tribalist cos you know what, it is politics and is allowed.

NOI, Soludo too is eligible on your list. Except the odd one there. One love

globemoney:
I was tipping Soludo for this if NOIweala doesn’t agree.
Soludo from APGA will 100% get APGA support
Soludo has the international support Atiku badly needs to win

Soludo is the perfect choice though but we need him for Anambra guber in 2021. Atiku should pick Ben Obi, he is another trustworthy person with deep roots in APGA and PDP and is also a friend of Atiku.

Osagyefo98:
Any atiku running mate should come from anambra state if not obiano should immediately start working for buhari second term.


Who ekweremmadu from enugu epp.

Shut up you f00l.

Igbo bu Igbo.

Enugu or Ebonyi or Anambra.

Enugu or ebonyi is non of my business biko.

I will prefer soludo for his brilliant CV. Nigerians sh check the CV's of all the listed technocrats and choose from the best to assist Atiku and correct the damage buhari and APC brought to our growing Economy and job creation. let's disregard sentiments such as tribe and religion. After all, I know so many yoruba graduates all over the country without a job years after graduating with good grades even though the VP osinbajo is their kinsman. But it will difficult to find a hausa person with B'Sc or HND even OND without a job. That's to say that the current structure of the country is only in their favour and in favour of the few privileged political elites in South. So the restructure of the Nigerian system Atiku is bringing to the table is for the benefit of all in the country. Let us support him since APC has refused to restructure just as OSINBAJO told Nigerians in America last two months that there is no need to restructure Nigeria. Let us vote wisely this time for a man who can create jobs and better our lives.

For a long we have not a situation where merit is being considered for nomination. Kudos to PDP

Soludo, good idea. Adesina, talks too much. Obi, talks too much. Ekweremadu, old guard business-as-usual politician: don't think of it.

Kingsley Moghalu

Good idea.

sremmlyf:
Soludo is the man
for those clamoring for SW VP
Note: a bird at hand is worth more than thousands in the Bush
APC patiently waiting for that error to occur then they will capitalize on that
PDP will not get bloc votes in the east neither will they get in the west.
if truly the SW are patriotic as they claim then they will support the restructuring call by atiku by voting him for the good of the country.
but the hypocrites screaming IPOB miscreants support buhari just for selfish reasons

Since patrotism is all that matters, why don't we pick the President and VP from the North East since it's only patrotism that matters.

iammo:
even a day old baby knows the region atiku is picking his VP from, no matter the empty and inconsequential threat of political boycott from region with 7m PVC only, and track record of loosing national politics(Ibrahim tofa/Sylvester Ugoh and buhari/okadigbo). The owner of thisday newspaper Mr Nduka Obaigbena is only writing his own theory based on wishful thinking.... I wonder which northerner would vote for a southeast vice President, after been thoroughly insulted and called illetrates, zoogerians, terrorist, ewu Gambia, gworo chewing malu, or the yellow bar Muslim Fulani slave name calling. How exactly will a tribe given quit notice and ultimatum to leave north or face violence, endup wining anything as a vice president

E Pain Am Well Well

One thing I know is that if Atiku looses in 2019, we all will suffer till 2023 when Atiku will return again with an Igbo VP. I mean the north will continue to rule Nigeria

Afonjas should know that divide and rule politics don't work on Igbos

What brilliant CV?

Who messed up the banking sector so much that Sanusi had to come and clean up his mess?

Dpharisee:


E Pain Am Well Well

You go soon learn as usual

The ;-

- Must be Young
- Must have overall knowledge of the Economy to enable him get young people back to work.

Those points got me.

I think he means business.

I might decide to campaign for him,

EasternActivist:
Why consider adesina at all?

Walahi

boy16:

Corruption meets corruption.

not if he picks Peter obi. the only governor who didn't incure debt but saved money for his state.

Osagyefo98:


Qualified my foot.

Anybody aside this....Apc will have our votes

From obiano body language now, he is with buhari.

Obiano cannot determine the direction of anambra state state votes.You people joke too much

One of the best performing ministers in the last government...He is the current president of ADB and was instrumental in aiding Nigeria to get out of recession in this government....

Whether they get the vp slot or not, they will keep doing better than your poverty-ravaged enclave. Kiss the truth!

dts very good of him to consider all technocrats...it is easy for him, cuz he doesn't hv a Godfather that will give him.list of those he must field....just like I warned ambode not to go for the primaries, lest he lose, so will I also warn atiku nit to go for a VP from d south east...he needs someone from the south west who will divide d south west votes for him.. he already gat d east behind him. Evn without campaign. cuz of the theory that dt dey share a joint enemy,so dey must cooperate to beat d common enemy

Nice one
I always like soludo

He is smart

I wonder why present and past administration did invite him

Wow thats nice... But the SESS won't like the idea. They may decide not to vote at all thus making atiku loose to buhari cabal again.

That means Atiku will never win election becus the zones are very important bro. In politics, even 100k votes are important.

So if he chooses south west, he will get political apathy from the east and he will lose. Do u know why? Tibunu and the current APC are not supporting Atiku and no matter who Atiku chooses from the west, he will not win south west.

Since the east wants to get vp and they don't get it, they will not vote for apc o but they woll simply avoid voting. That means Atiku will never get enough votes to win Buhari..

So bye bye to Atiku. South west would have worked fine for Atiku if Tibubu is neutral and they don't have the current VP from south west..

Your problem is that you think every Igbo is an IPOB. You pretend not to know that even the IPOB accusses Ohaneze and igbo governors of working against them. Your type give credence to IPOB's claim of hate from Nigeria and Nigerians for the Igbos. Please turn a new leaf.

Southwest ranks highest in all economic indices, the only region southeast can compete with is northeast, kiss the truth you economic migrants

Obiano should initiate process. For buhari re election.

Rubbish

Igbos dont follow godfathers like SW where Tinubu runs things, every Igboman thinks for himself. Obiano cannot influence who the people decide to vote for, Igbos can vote for Buhari without Obiano campaigning for him

•To decide on zoning of position between South-west and South-east tomorrow
•Age, knowledge of economy key criterion for nomination

The Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has begun earnest search for his running mate as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) deadline for the submission of names of parties’ candidate expires on Monday.


By the 1999 Constitution as amended and the Electoral Act 2010 as amended, no candidature is complete without a running mate.
THISDAY sources close to the Atiku camp said at least three technocrats and two politicians have been penciled down for the position.

The technocrats are, former governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Prof. Charles Soludo; former Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina; and former Managing Director of Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON), Mr. Chike Obi.

The politicians being considered for the number two position are, former governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, and the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu.


According to a source, the candidate and the PDP hierarchy are still undecided on the zone the position should be allotted. But he said the scope had been narrowed down to the South-west and the South-east.

“We would have to weigh the electoral value of both zones and decide where we would allot it,” the source said, explaining that there was the need to maintain a balance between the existing political configuration, which requires the party to challenge the dominance of the APC in the high voting South-west by picking a running mate that would challenge the electoral advantage of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; and the need to retain the loyalty of the South-east that had remained a PDP stronghold.

Both zones were believed to have helped Atiku to neutralise the Northern zones’ delegates’ votes that went to Sokoto State Governor, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal during the presidential primary on Saturday.


A source told THISDAY that the matter would be trashed out tomorrow at a meeting of the presidential candidate with the party hierarchy.
Apart from zoning, Atiku is also said to be considering age and knowledge of the economy and economics as two major criterions for the selection of the running mate.

According to a source, the presidential candidate thinks his running mate has to be a much younger person as a strategy to appeal to the army of youths, which is already up in arms against the old brigade.

Atiku is, however, said to be insisting that such a young man must also have deep knowledge of the economy as his focus is on the revival of the economy to create jobs for the teaming unemployed population.

“His challenge, therefore, is how to strike the balance between getting a youthful running mate and an economy savvy candidate. Both must be rolled into one,” a source said, explain that this might have informed the short list that was revealed to THISDAY.

Narrow it down to two.

1. Adeshina
2. Peter Obi

These two guys are BRAINS....
