The only name on the lips of 80 percent eligible voters is Peter Obi.

Nigerians are obviously not ready for a Fulani to Fulani Presidency or a Muslim Muslim Ticket.

While supporters of Mr Wike are insisting on his nomination as Atiku's running mate, a majority of leaders of the PDP prefer the Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa, for the position.

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu showed he has strong political structure. Across the 6 geopolitical zones of the country, he has deliberately invested in other people's aspirations as well as intervened in other people's moments of trial. He built network of politicians who owe him a payback. Today, he got it.

Pres Buhari's humiliation of Tinubu also gained sympathy for him. Many Northern APC politicians believe that Tinubu deserve a better deal having given Pres. Buhari his 100% support once again in 2019 in spite of being relegated after 2015 landmark APC victory. Matter of fact Pres. Buhari won APC primary over Kwankwanso and Atiku on the strength of SW delegates' block votes. Being politicians, these Northern politicians know how painful being used and dumped can be. They stood for him.

Congratulations, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu!

Bello boasted that he has the formula to defeat Atiku, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 general elections.

He said: “By June this year, I will be 47. I am still the young of the young people, the voice of the younger generation, the voice for the women, the voice for people living with disabilities, and the voice for Nigerians irrespective of religion, region, or tribe because we have demonstrated it in Kogi State.”

Speaking on the solution to Nigeria’s security challenges, the governor explained that he has demonstrated his ability to solve tackle insecurity based on his experience in Kogi State.

Bello also promised to solve the security challenges facing the country within a year of assuming office if elected as the next president in 2023.

The presidential aspirant stated that since he came on board as Kogi governor in 2016, the state has recorded low-security issues due to his leadership.

The three names were sent to President Buhari to choose his consensus candidate from, by the Northern governors spearheaded by Gov. Simon Lalong of Plateau State.

Practically, all other contestants are going in for the election. The names were not presented by the APC party Chairman and the NWC, the governors are on their own. They can choose their own successors in their states but cannot choose the President's own successor. Buhari have reiterated that times without number. "Allow me to choose my successor, the same way I allowed you people to choose your successors"

It is left for the President to choose whom to listen to, the Governors or the APC chairman and the NWC. The list is ceremonial and doesn't reflect the realities on ground

He spoke to Daily Trust against the backdrop of the controversy generated by his comment last Thursday in Abeokuta where he said he ensured the victory of Buhari in 2015.

The president, through his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, replied Tinubu, saying many people contributed to his victory.

Adebanjo recalled that he warned Tinubu a long time ago that Buhari could not be trusted when he was packaging him as the best to be the president of Nigeria.

He stated that everything he said about Buhari had come to pass even though they said he was saying rubbish then.


“Those who doubted me said the old man was just talking rubbish. I said, ‘okay let’s wait and see.’ I won’t talk more until they finally ditch themselves out. By the time they finally ditch themselves, that’s when I will comment.

“This is not the time for me to say he should leave the party, I told him that a long time ago. You should refer to what people have said and what I particularly have told him.”

Northern PDP Group Urges Atiku, Governors, Bot , Others to Pick Gov.Wike as Running Mate

Group under umbrella of Northern People's Democratic Party (PDP) Vanguard had asked the winner of just concluded primaries, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to pick Rivers State Governor, Barrister Nyesom Wike as his running mate.

You are wasting your time, Atiku is not new to seeing overzealous VP he did it to Obasanjo when he almost hijacked the presidency, there is no way Atiku can pick Wike as his VP to come cause him more problem than he did to Obasanjo, except of course you want the country to be in comatose for the next four years if they eventually win

It also appealed to PDP Governors, BoT and NWC members as well as stakeholders to support the choice of Wike as Atiku's running mate.

According to the PDP group, Wike, who lost to Atiku in the primaries has demonstrated enough maturity and tenacity to remain a loyal party member.

The Northern PDP Vanguard in press statement signed by the Zonal Coordinator,Hon. Ibrahim Ahmadu pointed out that the choice of Wike as Vice President would create better chances for the party during the forthcoming general elections.

He further stated , "We strongly believe that picking Governor Wike will not only calm frayed nerves, but also help to douse the tension stirred up over alleged rumours of gang up from the North against him .

"It would be wise to pick someone that has consistently showed love for his party by ensuring the party remains relevant in the times of adversity for over seven years.

"All party members can attest to the fact that Gov. Nyesom Wike's was the main pillar that held the party from collapsing and he's brave enough to fight the ruling party at all times . " He added.
Speaking on his performance as a Governor, the PDP group noted , "Wike's developmental strides as the Governor of Rivers State is second to none across 36 States of Nigeria .And if records of performance is a yard for any election , the Wike is sure material for and President."

However, the group called on the PDP Flagbearer to shun selfish politicians and bad advisers who might want to dissuaded him from picking Wike .

"Wike has the capacity right contacts across Nigeria to win election for the main opposition party during the Presidential elections ." He said .

As Nigerians await the decision of the party delegates to determine who will be the flagbearers of the major political parties, valuation of the aspirants continues as more facts emerge on who is the most qualified person for the job of president come 2023.

In its efforts to present the best candidate to the people, Channels Television examined the manifestos of the top 12 presidential aspirants and discovered that the Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has the most feasible plan to reform the country.

Bello was ranked first among the top 12 Presidential candidates in the popular Channels TV Data Analyst Babajide Ogunsanwo's Manifesto Review (Score Scale 1 - 5) on Equity and Accountability, Wealth Creation/Management, Education, Security, Power, and Industrialization.

The development strengthens some Nigerians' faith in the young governor, who has demonstrated a transparent approach to governance in Kogi State.

Why did Peter Obi hide funds in the Carribbean through his daughter name with the intention of hiding his ownership of the bank account and pay a firm in Monaco that specialises in hiding ownership of assets to have a foreign director pretend to be the owner of the said account.

Why did he not just walk into any bank branch in UK, Canada, Netherlands, or USA and just open a bank account in his name and report it in his assets declaration form.

Owning a foreign account is not illegal. Why go through all that to hide ownership of the said bank account and any possible trace to you- Nigerians would have never known if not for the Pandora expose.

I feel emotional seeing the passion that young people have for a Peter Obi presidency. What is closest to it is EndSARS.

Why do I feel that the political class do not want him?

Why do I feel that Obi is the Tsunami that'll either sweep many societal ills away from Nigeria or is quenched like EndSARS?

OfoIgbo:
For the past few weeks, I have been observing what has been going on in Anambra since Soludo came to power.

The terrorism there is targeted at the APGA leadership and leaders and HOA members, and to scare innocent Anambra indigenes.
A few Fulani peasants have also been killed to give impression that this is a general action and to throw people of the scent source.

But one thing I have noticed is that the APC personnel and interests in Anambra state have not been affected whatsoever.
In fact, the current terrorism being carried out by Ekpa's boys and DSS's UGM in Anambra seem to only serve the interests of APC, both at the federal level and in the state.

Andy Ubah's political structure and allies in Anambra have been allegedly left untouched by what is happening. In fact, they are waiting in the wings to know when they can start taking advantage of the situation that they are secretly sponsoring.

I think Anambra people, ESN, IPOB and the Anambra state government need to recognize what is actually happening, and deal ruthlessly with those terrorizing Anambra and her citizens.

It is clear those in Abuja and the DSS leadership may be out of the range, but for those who reside in Anambra and the APC personnel in Anambra. They must be confronted and punished for the arsons and murders of innocent people going on in Anambra, that they are allegedly secretly sponsoring. Some of their enablers are also be in Imo state and Ebonyi state.

The leader of the Pan Niger Delta Forum, Edwin Clark, has insisted that the next Nigerian president must be from the South-East extraction.

He claimed that southerners are treated as second-class citizens in the country, noting there may be no Nigeria without zoning in 2023.

He said this while speaking during an interview on Arise TV on Tuesday.

According to him, there is a monopoly of leadership by the North.


He said, “My idea of zoning the Presidency to the South-East is well-known. No Nigerian will like to live in a country where certain people believe that they have the only right to lead.

“The APC believes the 12 million votes by President Muhammadu Buhari might be eroded if it is zoned to the South. The PDP is also considering zoning to the North. This is unfair.

Ahead of the 2023 elections, Kogi governor and presidential hopeful, Yahaya Bello, has said “no less than 21 million Nigerians have registered and indicated their interest to elect him” if he emerged as the flag-bearer of the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC.

He made the comment on Thursday while speaking shortly after picking his 2023 presidential election interest and nomination forms at the party headquarters in Abuja.

Quest Times understands Yahaya Bello is the first seating governor to collect the N100 million nomination form of the party.

“I want to thank Almighty Allah for giving me the grace to have the courage to want to serve our dear country (Nigeria) through our great party (APC). This is a historic moment.

“When I became governor, nobody gave me a chance but God gave me a chance. That same God is still alive to see me take over from president Muhammadu Buhari and build on his successes and achievements for this great nation,” he said.

He added; “Over 21 million Nigerians have registered and indicated willingness and interest to elect me if given the party campaign ticket. I can assure if I become the flag-bearer, all other political parties put together will not come half of the total votes I will gather in the 2023 presidential election as president and commander in chief of the federal republic of Nigeria.”

Anything short of Jonathan’s ticket ‘ll cost APC 2023 presidency — Group warns Buhari, Adamu[b][/b]


A political pressure group, Citizens Network for Peace and Development in Nigeria (CNPD), has called on the All Progressives Congress (APC) to adopt former President Goodluck Jonathan, as the party’s candidate for the 2023 presidential election.

The National Coordinator of the group, Mr Ralph Okorie, who made the call on Monday at a news conference in Abuja, urged President Muhammadu Buhari, to endorse the Jonathan project.

“There is a need for experience and continuity. The two enjoy the most cordial relationship that had ever existed between an incumbent and his immediate predecessor,” he said.

Okorie said the call for Buhari to endorse Jonathan was to ensure that candidates without a clear cut vision do not emerge as the party’s flag-bearer in the 2023 presidential election.

He said that allowing candidates without a clear cut vision to get into the Presidential Villa in 2023, would not only be suicidal but would be like aiding and supporting incompetence over competence.

According to Okorie, the persistent calls from different parts of the country for Jonathan to contest the 2023 presidential election indicates that Nigerians have genuinely and passionately joined the support for Jonathan.
“We acknowledge that the ripple effects of good governance are multi-generational, hence, the CNPD for Jonathan call on all Nigerians to support this agenda.

“We strongly believe that this administration is working round the clock to address the two major problems of security and economy bedevilling this country.

“It will be counter-productive to bring an amateur to take over from President Muhammadu Buhari at this material time.

“As vanguards for Nigeria’s development, peace and unity, we want to reiterate that, our beloved country cannot afford to have a regional champion as a flagbearer.

“It is imperative that Dr Abdullahi Adamu as the National Chairman of APC will use the best man for the job to win this election bearing in mind that anything short of a Jonathan ticket will cost APC the presidency in 2023,” Okorie said.

He noted that his achievements of Jonathan stood him out among all the aspirants that have so far indicated an interest in the presidential election and described him as one of the most outstanding presidents the country had produced.

“For instance, within two weeks, Jonathan grounded the activities of Boko Haram insurgency and gave Nigeria a credible election adjudged by domestic and international observers as free and fair.

“Nigeria’s economic trajectory under his presidency was globally recognised as his national economic prowess earned the country the status of the largest economy in Africa.

“Today, some of the talented people who worked under his government are championing global economic transformations.

“Nigerians have not forgotten the glorious days of GEJ with Dr Ngozi Okonjo Iweala as the minister of Finance, Olusegun Aganga, Akinwumi Adesina, Mohammed Pateh, to mention but a few.

“We are still yearning for the immense contribution of Akinwumi Adesina who was the brain behind Jonathan’s agricultural transformation agenda that saw the increase in agriculture produce, value chain and foreign exchange earnings from the sector.

“In terms of foreign policy, Nigeria under Jonathan saw huge foreign direct investment, FDI, and infrastructure developments due to his economic liberalist and friendly dispositions,” Okorie added.

The CNPD coordinator also said that said that the Nigeria diasporic policy enhanced over 24 billion dollars in remittances under Jonathan which made Nigeria and Nigerians the pride of Africa and the world.

He added that Jonathan’s return to power would not only enhance the economic, foreign policy and security situation but would provide a favourable environment for national engagement and dialogue.

Okorie, however, called on Jonathan to listen to the numerous calls and observe the political mood across Nigeria as he would give impetus to APC’s victory in the 2023 presidential election.
