Prospect of a possible alliance between the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN and Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, was dashed yesterday in Kano as the leader of the party and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu described CPC as parading “expired leadership.” http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/03/tinubu-rules-out-alliance-with-cpc/ |

Knock it into their heads: BUHARI HAS EXPIRED. BB supporters need healing for their amnesia! |

Where is Gbawe? Now you see why we are at loggerheads over Ribadu & Tinubu. Good one from Tinubu, expired leadership. that is fine, we rest our case. April 9 will soon be here |

Hrm. . . why must anything be ruled out?  |
| Re: Acn Rules Out Alliance With Cpc by damas11111(m): 7:01am On Mar 21, 2011 |
What a pity! All because of selfish interest of Tinubu. Is a Buhari government not far better than a pdp one? I also know that an ACN regime will be better than the pdp's. Ruling out an alliance shows that Tinubu and co in ACN are placing their personal interests over and above the common good of the country - getting rid of the pdp once and forall. Shame on Tinubu and acn. |

Ok, surely this Tinubu character is insane. Then again, theres no doubt in my mind he'd rather a GEJ Presidency than a GMB one. The latter winning means he dies in prison on corruption charges. Damn, the voting Nigerian populace are so. . . . ouch, I dont even wanna say it so nobody'll say I'm being insulting. |
| Re: Acn Rules Out Alliance With Cpc by ekubear1: 7:12am On Mar 21, 2011 |
^-- Well, the SW has been screwed over before by alliances. In fact, most of the crappy governors we have are a result of an ill-fated alliance in 2003 that the AC made with the PDP. Obasanjo reneged on the alliance, rigged out the SW governors (part of the reason I strongly dislike the man.) Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice. . . Basically, it makes no sense to enter an alliance unless you can have some control over its direction. Anyway, I'm hesitant to call him selfish. Truth be told, aside from some recent events with his family members running for office, he has been anything but selfish. |

eku_bear: Are you fuxcking kidding me? That dude would rot in jail if he was here and you know it. Aint he the same dude that was trying to make the Governor of Lagos pay him money from taxes paid into the State's treasury?! |

Bakare is starting to sound prescient. |
| Re: Acn Rules Out Alliance With Cpc by dayokanu(m): 7:33am On Mar 21, 2011 |
Eku_bear is right. Tinubu is trying to avoid a repeat of the 2003 scenario where they went into an alliance at presidential level with PDP and they got screwed |
| Re: Acn Rules Out Alliance With Cpc by ekubear1: 7:34am On Mar 21, 2011 |
bk.babe97y: Alpha Beta Consulting, a tax consultancy firm takes a 10% cut of Lagos State revenues. This firm is connected with Tinubu. I cannot really defend it; at most it should be on the order of 1%, in my opinion. But you need money to fight wars in Nigeria, political or otherwise If the PDP will use Bayelsa, Rivers and Delta as slush funds (And don't take MY word for it, read what Wikileaks has to say about James Ibori), then ACN is going to have to get cash from somewhere to compete. It is what it is, man Tinubu isn't taking the money and building castles in the UK. So how much beef can I have with the guy? The ONLY problem I have with Tinubu is him installing his relatives. Look, Tinubu is not a clean man. As I've said repeatedly on this forum, he is essentially a rabid dog. But currently, this is MY rabid dog. And this rabid dog is hunting my enemies. If the rabid dog turns on me, then yes, I'll have to put it down. But until then, I'll keep it alive. And not only keep it alive. . . but recognize that anyone trying to kill this rabid dog means me harm. |
| Re: Acn Rules Out Alliance With Cpc by ekubear1: 7:45am On Mar 21, 2011 |
bk.bake97y: Look, my own perspective is simple. I want the SW of Nigeria to be strong and prosperous. We have talented guys like Fashola who can make this happen. I want them elected into office (keep in mind that they don't necessarily have to be ACN, Mimiko of the LP is showing some promise too! And I would embrace the equivalent of a Amaechi from the PDP.) If we have good governance in the SW, that combined with our existing federal allocations will make the region flourish. Unfortunately, the PDP isn't interested in putting in good leaders in the SW. You have incompetent crooks and conmen like Bode George, Alao-Akala and Gbenga Daniel. Segun Oni from my own Ekiti State, who pissed away money on dairy farms  You see what I'm saying? The PDP doesn't do anything right there. Even the federal roads that are there, they have not fixed!!!! Not to talk of additional federal projects. What federal projects have they done in the SW in the last decade? And time is wasting. We cannot afford to waste time on fools who won't bring about economic prosperity. With competent leaders, you can achieve 10%+ GDP growth in the SW states every year. I'm sure Fashola has delivered something like this, which is why he is so popular (93%+ approval rating, according to this Ipsos company.) Once the PDP is kicked out of the SW, then Tinubu can be dealt with if necessary. Frankly, in my opinion, Fashola is going to end up as the face of the franchise for the ACN sometime in the future, not Tinubu. |

Genbuhari3: Man mi , put aside the anger . Too late for that . I warned you that , in so far as Bakare was shooting his mouth , anything can happen . You are angry that Ribadu attacked Buhari during the debate . Yet you supported Bakare when he had the nerve to label Tinubu "the biggest threat to democracy" . Is that fair ? Does Tinubu deserve that tag? Does Bakare have a memory deficit? Only a very ungracious and rude person would call Tinubu what Bakare did !!! Whatever the problem , must he talk about Tinubu like that publicly? Ribadu attacks Buhari for not doing anything in 25 years , when he has never been anything but respectful towards Buhari previously , and now Tinubu hints at the "expired leadership" of the CPC when it is a well known fact he courted Buhari as a Presidential candidate in an alliance . Open your eyes man mi . Ribadu and Tinubu are reacting angrily to something. I can bet any money they are responding to the unprovoked attack of the loudmouth Pastor and JJC to politics. |
| Re: Acn Rules Out Alliance With Cpc by Genbuhari3: 10:52am On Mar 21, 2011 |
Gbawe, For calling Pastor Tunde Bakare Loud mouth. I withdraw my hand shake. Cheers and see you in April. |
| Re: Acn Rules Out Alliance With Cpc by Pataki: 11:02am On Mar 21, 2011 |
I hope those who were throwing stones at Bakare some days ago now realize he was truly right. Such a shame, Tinubu would open his big mouth and oju-yobo eyes and make such a statement if indeed if it is true. April polls comes and we shall see! |
| Re: Acn Rules Out Alliance With Cpc by Beaf: 11:23am On Mar 21, 2011 |
birdman: He was only half right though.  Both Tinubu and Buhari are expired space. |
| Re: Acn Rules Out Alliance With Cpc by Beaf: 11:31am On Mar 21, 2011 |
Why do evil gatherings always have a way of fallen on their own swords, and dissembowelling themselves in confusion?  Buhari is running for the umpteenth time his assuage his ego (and refill his pockets?), while Tinubu has his beady eyes locked on the national till. Their alliance would have been like one between Baal and Beelzebub.  Jonathan, carry go!!!!! 2011 is yours! |
| Re: Acn Rules Out Alliance With Cpc by Bukittes(f): 11:47am On Mar 21, 2011 |
Is it possible to ban all those that are not eligible to vote in this country to stop interfering in our politics? They corrupt the mind, sow seeds of discord here meanwhile they are well sitted in London or US and telling us what our polity should be like! If u know u didnt register and eligible to vote pls stop talking here! Especially on who is best to be voted in or not. If u know better come back and lets dance to the same tune of Music! Cowards! |
| Re: Acn Rules Out Alliance With Cpc by Lagosboy: 11:50am On Mar 21, 2011 |
I have always had my reservations for this man called Tinubu , he is as incosistent as you can be, he moves with the tides, he goes with the flow wherever the wind blows he will be there apart from the wind of PDP. How can you call something you wanted to be part of expired leadership, i doubt if ACN will even get 2% of votes in Kano. Rather than court the Kano voters you speak ill of their hero and then you have the guts for calling GEJ a drunken fiserman when he labelled you a rascal. Tinubu might have to swallow his vomit in April when CPC God willing wins the election. Ribadu on the other hand is allowing Tinubu manipulate him by attackin Buhari. Ribadu that cannot win his local govt in Adamawa. Ribadu has forgotten if he wants to be relevant in Nigeria politics post 2011 , he needs Buhari to win the north in 2015 if he wants to contest. Ribadu would be decieving himself if he sincerely thinks he could win this election even if it were free and fair. Ribadu is an opportunist IMO, he lacks the moral authority to accusse PDP of bad leadership when you were part of this bad leadership from 2003 to 2007. How can we forget Ribadus role in the OBJ 3rd term. How can we forget Ribadus role in disqualifying non PDP aspirants in 2007 like Atiku. How can we forget Ribadus role in the addition of Lanre Tejuosho (iyabo obasnajos opponent) to the corrupt list of 2007 even when he had never held a govt position before. We forget so soon as a people, Buhari remains the only consistent politician today in Nigeria. For 35 years he still stand for the same ideals he is known for. BB2011 |
| Re: Acn Rules Out Alliance With Cpc by Btruth: 11:56am On Mar 21, 2011 |
Tinubi should have a re-think about his action; winning PDP will require both parties[b] (ACN & CPC)[/b] coming together to form a strong alliance. What Tinubu and the other[b] ACN[/b] chieftain could do is to advice Gen. Buhari to come on board as a chief maker in the alliance.  |
| Re: Acn Rules Out Alliance With Cpc by MaiSuya(m): 12:07pm On Mar 21, 2011 |
Even if they don't eventually form an alliance, it might not be a bad idea for both camps to rein in the name calling. This only gives the PDP a foothold. If we can't be friends, let us, at least, not be open enemies for the sake of 2011. |
| Re: Acn Rules Out Alliance With Cpc by Gbawe: 12:23pm On Mar 21, 2011 |
Mai Suya: Thank you !!! Genbuhari3: bruv , stop being so emotional . I repeat that Bakare is indeed a loudmouth . He had no reason at all to call Tinubu "the greatest threat to democracy" because an alliance did not happen. As a Yoruba man , I resent that highly because Tinubu , for all his fault , has spearheaded the attempt to free the SW region of retrogressive PDP leadership . You can't back that statement from bakare and now get angry that I call him a loudmouth - which he is . That would be hypocrisy and double standards. |
| Re: Acn Rules Out Alliance With Cpc by jensinmi(m): 12:24pm On Mar 21, 2011 |
It is common knowledge that the CPC/ ACN alliance failed because Tinubu insisted that he and only he will run as Buhari's Vice President. I've been thinking lately and I've come to this conclusion - If this election ends in the need for a run-off between Buhari and GEJ, I won't be surprised if Tinubu's ACN lines up behind GEJ. The reasons are 1. GEJ will be willing to make concessions (Give ACN a few ministries and appointments) in exchange for their support. 2. Buhari is a man who doesn't believe in compromising. He'll stand his ground. Buhari will refuse to dine with the devil. He will make no concessions to Tinubu and company. TAKE NOTE: BUHARI WOULD RATHER LOSE THIS ELECTION, THAN ALLOW HIMSELF TO BE MANIPULATED BY SOME PEOPLE OR SPECIAL INTERESTS. THAT IS HIS WAY. He reminds me of Rorschach from the Watchmen comics and movies. In Buhari's case, I think that is a good thing. THE END NEVER JUSTIFIES THE MEANS. |
| Re: Acn Rules Out Alliance With Cpc by Genbuhari3: 12:31pm On Mar 21, 2011 |
Gbawe Do please keep calling him a loud mouth. At least his mouth was loud enough against Abacha when your Tinubu was, out of fear for his life, in exile. Bakare stayed here in his church and screamed against Abacha. if that is what qualifies one for have a loud mouth so be it. Under democracy, your Ribadu ran into exile. it really shows courage my friend. while Bakare was matching every where and screaming 'Power Hijack' against Turai, we did not see a Ribadu or a Tinubu on the street. Watch it Gbawe, by all standards, Bakare can stand where Tinubu and Ribadu will run. And his mouth was loud enough to send Abacha to Death! |
| Re: Acn Rules Out Alliance With Cpc by Gbawe: 1:41pm On Mar 21, 2011 |
Genbuhari3: You are simply getting more desperate to malign others while fighting your corner . Ribadu spoke up that Jonathan be sworn in as acting President . Go and check . Ribadu has a bullet-ridden car as proof he was being targeted for assasination . The Yar Adua Government was actually hellbent on Jailing him and he was even openly dragged out of a graduation hall phyisically , along with his family , by agents of a callous regime. It was time for him to get out and keep the fight alive from a safe distance . That is not cowardice at all . If you understand world history , to see how great men , at one time or the other , had to embrace exile , in the face of dangerous persecution, then you will not talk as you do . Ribadu's bravey is not in doubt . |

| Re: Acn Rules Out Alliance With Cpc by Genbuhari3: 1:44pm On Mar 21, 2011 |
He ran into exile! Dora had her 'gele' shot by a bullet, she stayed here! I will malign others as long as you call the only Pastor in this country who has screamed against all form of bad governance in this country Loud Mouth! That I will not take |
| Re: Acn Rules Out Alliance With Cpc by meine: 1:51pm On Mar 21, 2011 |
And who says Tinubu is not an enemy of democracy? |
| Re: Acn Rules Out Alliance With Cpc by BetaThings: 1:53pm On Mar 21, 2011 |
Gbawe: Genbuhari3: You guys are beginning to make me think that there are PERSONAL interests involved in this matter. The larger interest which actually goes beyond the person of the chameleon (Dbanj's solo debater) is to boot out PDP! Please keep your eyes on the ball. You are dribbling in your own half (not halves) close to box 18 Yes, Bakare started it (Tinubu is the biggest threat; I will soon expose Ribadu). The reality is that you should be knocking heads together to rid the country of a 12-year old filth Enough said! |
| Re: Acn Rules Out Alliance With Cpc by Genbuhari3: 2:15pm On Mar 21, 2011 |
Thanks Betathings, I have offered Gbawe handshake but he keeps touching the sensitive part of my passion to chase PDP out. Below is my first post on this thread. Where is Gbawe? Now you see why we are at loggerheads over Ribadu & Tinubu. Good one from Tinubu, expired leadership. that is fine, we rest our case. April 9 will soon be here Gbawe replied with this venom: [b]Man mi , put aside the anger . Too late for that . I warned you that , in so far as Bakare was shooting his mouth , anything can happen . You are angry that Ribadu attacked Buhari during the debate . Yet you supported Bakare when he had the nerve to label Tinubu "the biggest threat to democracy" . Is that fair ?

Open your eyes man mi . Ribadu and Tinubu are reacting angrily to something. I can bet any money they are responding to the unprovoked attack of the loudmouth Pastor and JJC to politics. [/b] This was after ending on a friendly note yesterday where I offered my handshake and promised we will definitely work together post April 9 as we are both against PDP. Men I tire oooo |
| Re: Acn Rules Out Alliance With Cpc by BetaThings: 2:20pm On Mar 21, 2011 |
Genbuhari3:Stop talking about this matter here. The 2 of you should talk to your guys somwhere. I am not voting PDP. I go with ACN at gov level (Lagos) and CPC at presidency. A lot of people feel that way. Don't hand the beastly party another day in office post may 28. You need to focus on the matter at hand - rid the country of the beast |
| Re: Acn Rules Out Alliance With Cpc by Genbuhari3: 2:23pm On Mar 21, 2011 |
ok thanks! I rest my case |
