This man or Lamido should be packaged to contest the presidential election in 2019.

Ekene dili Chukwu .

Next is to make sure his son doesn't get dat HOA seat

For PDP to still stand, it's important that Agbaje and Wike win Lagos and Rivers election. You need money to fund party activities.

Then the SE caucus must convince their SS counterparts not to abandon ship. Thank God that David Mark is staying but The likes of Lamido, Shema, Dankwambo, Muazu, Yuguda, Sambo, Kwankwaso, etc( All from core north) need to be convinced to stay put. Fayose, Mimiko, Kashamu, Agbaje, Obanikoro, etc ( SW) must also be convinced to stay put in PDP no matter what happens on Saturday.

By 2019, zone your Presidency to the North and conduct a transparent primaries for aspirants from the north. Buhari will likely comeback to contest in 2019 and a Northern candidate from PDP will divide northern votes.

Then wait for Apc make a mistake

Despite losing out at the federal level, notable members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) caucus in the South-east zone on Wednesday foreclosed any possible defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC), declaring its readiness to either swim or sink with the party.
The leaders of the party in the zone led by its National Vice -Chairman and Minister of State for Defence, Col. Austin Akobundu (rtd), Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, chairman of South-east Governors’ Forum and Abia State governor, senator-elect, Theodore Orji, Senator Hope Uzodinma, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, Senator Gil Nnaji as well as other elected PDP members of the National Assembly resolved to remain firmly in the party as opposition.
Briefing journalists after a meeting of the party’s leadership in the South-east held at Ekweremadu’s Enugu residence, the group’s spokesman, Akobundu said as a zone, the South-east delivered all their votes to the PDP and they are proud to do so.
He used the opportunity to thank all members of the party including the governors, stakeholders and the people of the zone for working tirelessly and voting massively for the party during the last elections.
Akobundu called on the people of the zone to do same in the forth coming elections saying that they will remain resolutely in the party and will not be moved or be moving to another party.
He promised the people that they would deliver all the goodies that are due to the zone through negotiations.
According to him, “Everything that we need to do to deliver the goodies that our people deserve in the zone, we can bring through a very solid platform of negotiation. We will do that as a zone and as a party.”
The group also said they will open up talks with their brothers and sisters from the South- south who also showed strong support for the PDP to form an alliance in order to come out stronger because it is obvious that the South East and the South-south are core PDP zones.
The group also revealed that they have formed a committee within the zone that will be the platform for any negotiations either with their sister zones or with the government at the centre.
They also condemned the reported outburst of the Oba of Lagos against the Igbos, describing it as unbecoming of a revered traditional ruler and urged the Igbos in Lagos to go all out and vote for the PDP, saying that nothing will happen to them. In his words,
“Let me use this opportunity to condemn the outburst of a seemingly respected traditional ruler that made remarks that if the Igbos vote against his APC candidate in the governorship election, that he will consign them to the lagoon. It is unbecoming of a traditional ruler. This is a multi-party democracy and people have choices to make. I want to on behalf of our people in the South-east urge our people to go out and vote for the PDP. Nothing will happen. This is a democracy.”

TheBlackSaint:
You are absolutely correct. If their approach in opposition is similar to the style of governance, then I fear for the state of the opposition in Nigeria. Democracy is unbalanced without a strong and credible opposition.
PS: Please let us all refrain from call President Jonathan names. While I agree that he ran a shockingly bad government, we can make our points without resorting to insults and name calling.

There will always be opposition. Do not fear Sir for nature will always strike a balance.

If the opposition doesn't come from outside of apc ( Example PDP), then it will come from within APC ( Example is the defections that hit PDP last year such can happen to APC).

Well for PDP to take power come 2019, they need to retain the strong personalities in the party. Sule Lamido, Dankwambo, Shema, Peter Obi, Akpabio, Ribadu, Anyim, Orji Uzor Kalu, Obanikoro, Mimiko, Fayose, etc must stay back and convince all the governors elected under the umblerra to stay back and fight.

Apc employed some intelligent guys to do their propaganda and this worked well against Gej. Gej's propaganda team lost woefully to Apcs team. PDP must start now to assemble smart people both in the print and social media. Will Apc government make a mistake? Yes they will and the job of the propaganda will be to blow it out of proportion.

North will still be in power till at least 2023. Now if Buhari comes out again from apc in the 2019 elections, PDP should bring out a Lamido or ribadu or Dankwambo ( I kinda like him cos I heard really working) and pick a Se/SS running mate.

Sit down with intelligent policy makers and draft policies and ideologies that all PDP governed states must follow.

Above all they should have these 2 qualities Patience and perseverance. Those are th 2 qualities that Buhari and Tinubu have should incase pdp don't grab power in 2019. I have a feeling that APC will do well this first term and may start taking things for granted in 2nd term. Except if oil falls to below $20 per barrel or SS militants makes good their promise by sabotaging oil pipelines.

There'll always be opposition. Nature always has a way of striking a balance. If it doesn't come from outside the part, it will come from within the party.

PDP will still be there and they'll be joined by disgruntled members from the APC.

And yes there'll be disagreement in the apc

Abeg dey should calm down. The militants should start talking about resource control,passage of PIB, building of seaports without Abuja interference, environment, etc

Biko let's not blow any pipeline abeg. Lets not give Buhari any excuse to raze the whole Niger delta down.

Please sir don't be deceived. Don't sign that unfair EU trade agreement.

God bless Nigeria

ud4u:
did foyese rig ekiti election?, some of you should mind your comments

What I meant to say in my post was that either which way Fayose will go. Power has entered the hands of those that knows how to wield it.

If they can't impeach him, they'll use the courts to sack him by hook or by crook.

Texcoco:
[color=#1980BC] Tis crucial that northern govs in the PDP hold their states and we believe that can happen if they commence underground lobbyin as it was in 2011,small reason why they aren't able to reach Jonathan this point.... [/color]

Some of the governors that didn't come, re angry because supporting GEJ has exposed them. I believe they expected Gej to rig the elections but the man didn't. Someone like Fayose is sure of going this year either by impeachment or court.

that's what I feel sha

I've always known PDP will win in Plateau. No surprises here.

I be die hard gejite but let's be serious, i doubt this story

Nwanne, Gej can lose in this election oh but David Mark can never lose. its impossible

XBLadez:
Buhari beating GEJ in Imo?
Op, e no go better for u even Rochas is getting cold feet right now

Calm down. By monday there eyes go Don clear

Sorry guys off topic.

Please where can I download clear view version of Kingsman: Secret Service. All I see on the Internet are Cam view version which isn't clear.

Thanks

60% for women Nonsense .

Men are now being marginalised in this country

Welrez:
I won't ever vote for el-rufai if I was from southern Kaduna after what he said about revenging the death of a Fulani, even if it would take twenty years. He has never condemned the carnage by the Fulani on the people of southern Kaduna. El-rufai is a bloody tribalist!

Well you maybe right but according to my 'Chongai' friends, Yero no try for pple of Southern Kaduna.

Welrez:
I hope southern Kaduna won't vote for this Fulani tribal bigot. They are doomed if he ever becomes governor!

They're divided between Yero of PDP and El rufai of APC. But when it comes to Presidential elections, they're supporting PDP

Sorry guys off topic.

How can Sincere9gerian be missing in action in such a critical time as this I've not seen his posts lately

Chimaroke is a grassroot politician. He's literally going from house to house campaining. Chimaroke will beat Gill Nnaji hands down without rigging.

If this news is true, Amaechi has made peace with PGEJ simple.

dewstar:
In fairness to GEJ, this thread deserves front page just as the other one.

Seun, lalasticlala, Obinoscopy.

I agree with you.

Meanwhile, they may say that Rauf was standing up while Gej was sitting down

Nonsense!!! Channels TV was willing to organise this debate. He ran away too or are they saying that Channels have also compromised

anonimi:
Very much so

We thank God. We're marching forward

I work in Nigeria railway corporation. Jonathan bought a single old green train which he commission in Lagos that same train he took to kano to commission and every other places. I don't believe any of this bridges someone in kano should confirm.

Mr maybe you made a mistake. Gej did not buy only one green train sir.

Well if APC could get Democrats as campaign consultants why shouldn't PDP get the Republicans on their side

As a result of rail transformation under Goodluck, me and my.cousin were given.contract by Eser the construction company that rehabilitated Enugu - PH rail line. I cant tell you how that really helped to improve my financial status.Its also a thing of joy to stop at railway crossings whenever a train is passing by, i always smile knowing fully well that i contributed to that success story no matter how small it was.

Last november i traveled out of the country for the first timr to dubai to buy some things for my new business (ive diversified my sources of income as a result of that contract). I traveled from Enugu using Ethiopia Airlines courtesy of Gej government. As an igboman, its a thing of joy.

I came bac in time for a friends trad in Enugu Ezike last december. I was worried about what bad road will do to my carbecause ive never been to that part of Nsukka before. I missed the actual road i was supposed to use and took a longer route but to my surprise i saw a well tarred road, its called Ogrutte road. I thought it was Sullivan that did the road but no it was Gej and i even saw the sign post, the road went to the neighbouring state of either Kogior Benue.

I see this as testimony time so lemme also add my very good friend who got employed last year by Enugu disco courtesy Gej ofcourse. Also my village guy who took advantage of thelocal ccontent bill to become a multi millionaire. He built a mansion in his father’s house under 6months or less. He settled his brothers who are now into big time importation from China and he has taken some of our youths with him to work for him in PH and he has also been very generous to people. It was Gej.that signed the local content bill.

I’ll stop here for now thanks and sorry for.the typos.

babestella:
Our Naira will pick up after the general elections. Why do I say this? As soon as the general elections are concluded peacefully, our Naira will appreciate because investors will start bringing back their money into the system. Right now, every reasonable investor is pulling out of the Nigerian market for fear of total breakdown of law and order and possibly war after the elections. So tell me if you are a foreign investor who has 100 million dollars in the Nigerian market, will you keep the money in Nigeria and allow war to strangulate your investments?
So that said, as soon as the elections are over we will have some fresh air regards our Naira strength.
If campaigns had been conducted peacefully without all these hate speeches which created tension in the Country, we might not be this bad today.

Secondly, the other factor is crude oil price which is no fault of anyone in Nigeria so don't blame GEJ for anything here and for FYI, GMB would also not be able to fix nothing.

Thirdly, instead of fighting on NL everyday, go and look for a business to start if you are yet to get a job. Stop waiting for government job. You can learn how to manufacture few household items, you can learn a skill and start something today and you'll be surprised how people will come on board to invest in that little business of yours. In the next 10 year you'll see where you would be.

So lets stop all this rants and having false hope in anyone, the greatness is inside of us not in our leader, but we are too lazy and afraid to explore and venture.

Abeg youths please think.....

Thank you.

Thank you very much sir.

Please I owe you 15 cartons of HERO beer

They are a shameless lot. See them all over this thread.

When threads about the NA beats BH and drive them from more than 40 towns hits the front take, SILENCE and growling of the teeth; immediately BH raids, or maybe takes ONE unguarded on the border with Chad, they cone our of their self imposed shells and rejoice. Almost all of them is even busy campaigning upon the possible deaths of some Nigerians at the hand of BH

By their fruits, you shallkknow them

There wickedness surprises the devil himself.

Sunnybobo3:
So FIRS remits money to the Federal Government and the Federal government returns a percentage to FIRS and the next minute, Okonjo hoes back to FIRS to get what the Federal govt just returned to them.

Just listen to yourself op.

Those two look like one person with two accounts.
