My brother na lie o..

South east is known for political apathy. They currently don't have any reasonable position in south east now under pdp.

They will not vote for apc but if they don't get any reasonable position, they will simply not vote at all. And that will cost Atiku big time becus no matter who Atiku uses from south west, he can never win south west due to Tinubu and Osinbajo factors now.. Atiku is in deep situation seriously..

His best option is get up to 30% votes from west and see how to make easterners and south south come out and vote. If he can get 2 million votes from west, he should be happy sef..

you're just being irresponsible. I wonder how a human being will be thinking of nothing but spreading hate among his fellow men..... I Wonder why Shekau's bomb has not gotten you, instead its killing innocent people.

mr man, think deep, we 're now talking of national politics not anambra politics, personally i even prefer competent hands like okonjo-iwella or akinwumi-adesina, even though am from enugu-state. its time nigerians ought to grow above this tribal politics.

see why SW sees Igbos as divided..the VP hasn't even zoned to SE yet but u are here ranting... Any Igbo from any state is 100% qualified... don't divide us..Even if the person comes from Abia , Ebonyi, Enugu or IMO...

...with pdp and their way of touching everyone tru appointments. the igbos will get senate president. if the back pedal on the VP slot and pdp wins. den dey will b up for presidency by 2023

Osagyefo98:


Are we one before?
U from ebonyi and am from anambra does it make us one?

We have different vision and am propagating ours so if that be the case then let them count anambra out afterall anambra is apga not pdp.

Apga should align with apc for national politics.

Adesina will be the best option while prof Soludo should be penciled down for Minister of Finance while Chike Obi for CBN governor after the expiration of Godwin Emefiele tenure.

Ngozi Okonjo iweala can be appointed as Minister for trade and investment

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 a region with only 7m PVC , 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 in that same north

whatever rocks your boat brother...you have the right ..but just know we're talking of national politics here were regional power pool should be the first

•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.

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

Statistician, please provide the voting population of Ndigbo and other non yorubas in Lagos, bearing in mind that the biggest Landlords in Lagos are not yorubas which reflected in more non yorubas winning elections into state and national assembly in 2015 despite the rigging machinery of thief-nubu. Keep fooling yourself with those vague statistics. Ndigbo and non yorubas have a very strong voting presence in the SW.

[s]this is why Anambara people are known as heartless people. So, somebody from Ebonyi, Enugu or Imo is not qualified until the person comes from Anambara? This attitude is very bad. Anambara people's wickedness is holding the Southeast back. I have never seen or heard yoruba person craving to see that a certain political post is given to a particular state. Let me just say this, even if the person comes from Anambara, you will still not be satisfied more than Enugu people because you will be crying that the person didn't come from your local government or even from your community. that is Anambara people for you. Being fooolish in wicked way[/s].
