@bermuda
IBB was in the army, b4 he became HOS, similar to Ribadu working as a policeman and even heading EFCC from 2003-2007.

You guys amaze me, few months after you all vote PDP back, i am sure you will be back here complaining how wrong PDP is. . bla bla

For all you guys, Atiku was a customs officer before retiring and going into politics, neither did he start as governor or local govt chairman. So nobody can say Ribadu doesnt have what it takes to become President

Sjeezy turned Sbeezy you sound very naive all the time with your very dumb statements. So because he is born to immigrant french parents, he is not an African? It might interest you to know that Africa is not a country, ethnicity or even race , it is a continent and people born and bread from that continents are called Africans be you Negro, Caucausion or any of those racial classifications, so don't tell me Albert Cadmud is not African because he looks white, majority of the people from Northern Africa are not negros, Egypt that we always use as a point to show that Africans have had civilization way before we were colonized is predominantly Arab that does not make them any less African. I bet you are not more African than Zinadine Zidane of Algeria neither is that white gurl more American than your black a$s.

nah, the middle belt guys seem to be real cool with GEJ , JEGA , AJEG , GAJE , EJAG etc LOL . I mean one man with 5 acronyms you've got to love him

guddsid:
^^^^^^

if the north (core north , that is ) doesn't support GEJ , then the middle belt would and so would the south south and most parts of the south east , i really don't know about the yoruba's . Trust me its going to be an exciting election but GEJ is going to come out victorious . With that said , i would advice some of you guys to sleep with one eyes closed and also if possible keep one leg in Nigeria and the other leg in the closest safe place (Ghana maybe ). 2011 lets get ready to ruuuuuumble !!

Tell me how many exceptions we have just one.

Even lets look at Presidential Candidates in elections

A moslem-Moslem ticket might be a hard sell in current day Nigeria

@ pHIL Moane & Tewmuch,

Thank you guys fro saying asit truly is. Indeed, the Ooni has lost all credibility and moral standing to preach about yoruba unity.
Maybe, he could try responding to the Awujale of Ijebu's allegation (in his recent autobiography) that He the Ooni was the ONLY traditional leader from yorubaland that was in sync with Ibb's decision to annul the June 12th, 1992 election won by MKO.
Let him come and swear before his constituency on the dead bodies of his forefathers that his betrayal of the yorubas (to Ibb) was without any financial remunerations.

What an a.r.se****.

KnowAll:
This election is Jonathan to lose, if he gets the primary ticket, he wins the election, any ambitious Politicians should wait until 2015. That is when all asunder will fight for the soul of the nation.

The big fight is in 2015.

Even if a SW vp is picked, you can be sure that GEJ would still wrestle at least 50% of the votes from SW. Then GEJ gets almost wholesale, the votes of SS and SE. NC and NE will be split between GEJ and the northern contender. The only zone he will let go will be NW .

For the presidential election , people will vote based on their perception of the candidate. For governorship it sure will be along party lines, this means that PDP might lose some SW states but GEJ would still get the votes in such states. Never underestimate the massive christian populace that will vote GEJ in lagos even when we know that AC almost has the governorship in the bag.

xoxo, :
Correct.

GEJ already has a lot of sympathy votes due to him being a SS man. As  Nigerians it is undeniable that some injustice has been done to them as to the development of their communities. Many Nigerians (SE,SW,SS n some parts of the North)  will vote simply for this reason; the believe that SS finally deserves a chance to rule. This already gives jonathan an edge over NR and Buhari.

But I dont buy that. If the north which has ruled more than any zone in this country produces a good candidate then vote I shall and vice versa, if SS produces a less than competent candidate, then i wont vote him and vice versa.  Simply put, all powers that be need to unite so the PDP monster can be eradicated from our Beloved Country. Though even if they unite its still not going to be an easy battle but it would definitely loose PDP some seats in the House and some States. And That I believe would be a giant leap in the cleansing  of this country.

Mai Suya:
I think you're overestimating the influence of Tinubu. As much I detest these ethnic categorizations, I have to agree with Ezeuche on this one. If ACN wants to show itself as a truly national party and not the play thing of Tinubu, the 'southern progressive' you described above [i]should [/i]be of Igbo extraction, for only then will it be able to present a formidable challenge against the PDP.

Gbawe:
That is fine. I also think Buhari has the makings of a good leader. We must however ask ourselves why it is Ribadu , the "inexperienced newcomer" who is giving GEJ , an incumbent President , the greatest challenge according to every poll Nigerians have participated in to date ? I think Nigerians are ready for a change . They wan't a bright future . They wan't modern and internationally acceptable leaders the entire world will respect. If we inspect the relevant parameters we will see that Ribadu is the leader who can , locally and internationally, gain the support required to defeat the PDP Vampires to set Nigeria on the path of progress . Buhari , on Nairaland or elsewhere has not won a single popularity poll. Buhari may be popular in the North but the effort to defeat the PDP will require a candidate who , with the right support, can become all things to all to Nigerians . Ribadu is the man. I respect Buhari but I feel he will fall short if we pay attention to how Nigerians are thinking currently.

[size=14pt]Buhari May Clinch CPC Ticket Dec. 22 .[/size]

Monday, 08 November 2010 03:02 Shuaib Shuaib, Abuja   . .The Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) has rescheduled its presidential primaries for December 22, 2010, when it will most likely elect former military head of state Gen Muhammadu Buhari as its presidential candidate.  So far, Buhari is the only aspirant that has shown interest in running for president on the platform of the party.

In a letter dated October 28, 2010, and addressed to the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the chairman of the CPC, Sen Rufai Hanga, explained that changes in dates for the party primaries, congresses and convention were as a result of the ongoing registration which is expected to  entrench internal democracy in the party.

Under the new timetable, the primaries to elect governorship candidates and those for the Senate, House of Representatives and state houses of assembly will hold on December 18, 2010.

The most fierce competition for a single CPC ticket is the December 18 race for the governorship ticket of Kano State which the party chairman along with Muhammad Abacha, former military administrator of Kaduna State Ja’afaru Isa, former deputy governor of Kano Magaji Abdullah and House of Representatives member Hon Farouk Lawan are contestants.

Delegates to the state congresses and national convention will be elected on December 1, 2010 at the local government area congresses where members of the local government executive committees will also be elected.

The party will on December 29 hold  a national convention to ratify the elected presidential candidate, and an earlier convention on December 15, 2010, to elect members of the party’s National Executive Committee.

State congresses to elect members of the State Executive committes will hold on December 8,2010, while the registration exercise for new members has been extended by a week and will now end on December 14, 2010.

Meanwhile, the national publicity secretary of the party, Dennis Aghanya has said the party, unlike other political parties, is determined to adhere strictly to INEC guidelines and hold congresses in every state of the federation.

Aghanya said, “Adhering to that principle, we are doing everything possible to adhere to INEC’s instruction that all parties must hold congresses to elect substantive leaders before primaries.

“Our leader, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, launched our new membership registration cards, setting the pace for a new membership drive for the party to ensure that all members and intending members are not in any way denied registration. Without creating a level playing field for the membership of the party, electing new leaders and subsequently primaries will be faulty.”
He added, “Our new membership registration exercise commenced on the 30th of October nationwide, and was also recently extended by another one week. The exercise will now close on the 14th of November 2010. Nigerians should avail themselves of this opportunity to join the CPC and participate in effecting the desired change.”
