Ahead of the 2019 general election, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has started making overtures to billionaire business man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, to come and contest for the presidential election on its platform. Already, the opposition PDP has zoned the presidency slot for the 2019 election to the Northern part of the country, while the National Chairmanship slot of the party has been earmarked for the Southern part. An impeccable insider source exclusively told The Daily Times in Abuja that the party, in a determined efforts to win the 2019 election, has already sent emissary to the billionaire businessman from Kano, who is reputed as the wealthiest businessman in Africa.

When contacted, a source close to Dangote disclosed that his principal is not interested in politics, saying that the PDP should look elsewhere for its candidate. The source, who sought anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the matter, insisted that the stance of the business mogul not to dabble into politics has not changed, saying that any attempt by any political party to woo him for 2019 presidency is a distraction. He said: “The attempt to woo him will fail because Dangote is not interested in politics. He is a businessman to the core and what you just asked me to react to is a distraction. “The PDP should go and look elsewhere for its candidate for 2019 as Dangote is committed to his core vision and desire to invest and create jobs to the people”.

In 2003, 2007, 2011, Dangote donated to PDP. In 2015, he was out of the country and promised to personally donate upon his return to Adamu Muazu then Chairman of the Pdp.

See, let me tell you the honest truth.
Atiku had serious chances to win in 2019 but you Igbos ruined it. Let me explain.

You see the nonsense you guys were saying wishing Buhari dead, calling him names and all, people in the North were watching. But when you started this Jubril from Sudan nonsense, even northerners who were secretly backing Atiku had to come out and openly support Buhari to show that they aren't part of your madness.

Buhari is the most popular figure presently in the North, even more popular than the Sultan. You idiots consistently insult him and wish him dead, forgetting that there are people in PDP who defer to Buhari but hate APC.

In the coming days, Atiku would be humiliated in the North and very senior PDP supporters who formerly supported Atiku would start sabotaging his chances.

If you don't know, presently in the North, they are already saying those supporting Atiku are those who want to kill Baba.

You guys have ruined Atiku with your foolishness.

The same bastards are the one screaming and wailing now because Dangote has aligned with APC.
Pdpigz are bastards

Yes we all remember that there was such rumour.

We also remember that the same dangote said he wasn't a member of any party and wasn't interested in partisan politics.

So how did he turn up as an apc presidential campaign council member

Apc really miss it this time around. wooing someone like Dangote will surely bring negative influence on governance and this is where these people have failed. I have said it earlier on, governance means nothing to Apc, they are just there for their self enrichment and I boldly say it that peradventure Apc is voted in again, the suffering now will be a tip of an iceberg.

What about Otedola?

To think that just 2 months ago, PDPigz were banking on Otedola to win Lagos for them.

People of God, let us remember our PDP brothers in prayers. Today's rally in Akwa Ibom has caused many of them mental problems.

Look at how brother Keneshuku is typing incoherent trash like a drunkard suffering from downs syndrome.

Pdpigz just started realising that they are politically worthless.

Very soon, they would start crying No Leflendum no Erection.

Atiku would beat Atiku blue black in the coming election.

APC. Association of power drunk humans, liars. You have made human life in Nigeria cheapest in the world.

Gooooooooo. APC gooooooo.

Nigerians don't want you anymore.

OK...

Don't be fooled by the rhetorics people, these men are business men aligning themselves with whoever is serving their interest. Dangote is a front for many and so are other numerous CEOS. They all have business interests.
Until Dangote and Otedola tells us openly to support any candidate, pls don't mind those moguls.

Dangote is certainly not the answer e for turn the country to e business

P D P and lies they are like siamese twins

like I care
