You only need to visit Calabar to experience the excitement. It is as if the man is from here. Everybody readily points to Intels inside the NPA and says thTisnwhat we want everywhere not killer herdsmen

meolaniyi:
Hope has returned back to Nigerans since Atiku became the flag bearer of PDP presidential candidate.
God bless Atiku
God bless Yoruba nation
God bless Nigeria

This man's success at the convention seems to have turned you BMC , nairaland unit, into Wailers. Gradually the victory has already begone. We honourable Wailers trading position with former honourable hailers.

While transiting take this along, you need the smoke

zsamorano:
Dear Atiku, you must be fair to all Nigerian voters.
You cannot share $5,000 to PDP delegates for the Presidential ticket, then you tell
the rest of us to join you to rescue Nigeria.
For us to vote, you have to let the $5,000 go round each voter, else no vote.
The arithmetic is very simple. It is $5,000 X 180 million Nigerians = how much?
Chicken change for you Sir, just $900 billion.
I know you are richer than Nigeria as a Nation. Since you have started with vote
buying, pls complete it abeg you Sir.
You cannot buy delegates conscience and expect love from Nigerians freely and just
like that.
Anything less than $5,000 no deal ooooo.
It will be completely unfair Sir.
Delegates cannot be smiling to the Banks after voting for you as a presidential
candidate then the real electorates who will determine your presidency will be asked
to be patriotic.
Patriotism should have started from when you were canvassing for delegates vote.
Grateful Sir. Yours sincerely.

Team lifeless won't like this. This is for them

mrakeli62:
A former Governor of Kaduna State and one of the 12 presidential aspirants on the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, platform, Senator Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi has said that the party’s presidential candidate, former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, will be the best for Nigeria.

According to Markafi, who got 75 votes during the primary election, Atiku will return Nigeria to the right track if elected in 2019.

Makarfi, a former Chairman of the National Working Committee, NWC of the PDP, noted that the emergence of Atiku as the PDP flag bearer was an indication that the party has, “turned a new leaf in broadening the democratic process and space.”


This was contained in a congratulatory message dated October 8 which Makarfi personally signed, and addressed to Atiku, copies of which were made available to journalists in Kaduna on Wednesday.
The message reads, “Your emergence as the candidate of the party has gone further to reinforce the new philosophy and the promise that the PDP holds for both the present and the future of this country.
“Having known your strength of character, never-say-die spirit as well as total commitment to, and the dogged pursuit of any cause that you believe in, I have no doubt in my mind that you will successfully lead us in this very crucial battle to rescue our country and return it to the path of sanity.

“When prior to our party’s convention, we all came together to commit to the success of the party in 2019 elections irrespective of the outcome of the primaries, I personally did that, fully conscious of the fact that each one of the aspirants was eminently qualified to fly our flag.
“The contest, as far as I am concerned, was not just an expression of the legitimate rights of individuals to give vent to their aspirations, but also a statement in how the party has turned a new leaf in broadening the democratic process and space.
“I, therefore, write, on behalf of myself, my campaign organisation and all my supporters to warmly congratulate you on your success at the convention and to pledge our total support and commitment towards your, and the party’s success in the 2019 polls.
“I am available to play any role expected of me in the pursuit of this noble objective.”

Those qualities are not enough. What is needed right now is someone who has current spread and the deput senate President fits the bill. He has been in the NASS for years and has met many politicians who would come in as handy assets across the nation

Just announce Jim today and the entire national assembly will line up behind him irrespective of party affiliations. That translates into active state coordinators for the pdp.

For those people who may not know the man Olisa Agbakoba, here is a collection of 10 reasons why Atiku Abubakar should adopt him as his running mate.

Google is also your best friend. You can verify these facts.


1. He has been a key leader in the country's pro-democratic movement, and is the President of AfroNet, an international NGO dedicated to furthering the human rights cause in Nigeria.

6. He is someone with a proven track record of competence, character and integrity. This was proven as he rejected the 12 million naira honorarium paid to him by the federal government for attending the 2014 CONFAB citing that the masses needed that money to put into good use instead of being handed out to few individuals.

7. Agbakoba is an experienced Leader, a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association and businessman.

ChangeIsCostant:
The Presiding Bishop of Divine Seed of God Chapel Ministries, Prophet Wale Olagunju who is known for his predictions, is trending on social media after some of the prophecies which was made in January 2017, came to pass recently. 

The cleric predicted that there will be a serious fight between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and President Muhammadu Buhari, a forecast that has come to fulfilment following series of criticisms between the duo.

The prophet also predicted the death of veteran entertainer, Yoruba comedian and actor, Moses Olaiya, popularly known as Baba Sala, who reportedly died in his sleep recently after taking his supper in Ilesa, Osun State at the age of 82. 

The cleric also predicted that governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos would be at loggerheads with the elite, a prophecy which came to pass again recently. Governor Ambode, lost at the All Progressive Congress (APC) Lagos State governorship primary following rift between APC national leader, Bola Tinubu and other party executives. 

The prophet also predicted that Atiku Abubakar would contest against president Muhammadu Buhari in 2019 election and win him hands down. Atiku emerged winner of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential primary election held over the weekend in Port-Harcourt, Rivers state

N.B; These prophecies were made in January 1, 2017.

My only interest though I don't believe in political prophecy . But since it aligns with my permutation it is carry go. This one know time and season

Donald what? What is the name of his business? What is his pedigree . Nigeria is looking for people with personal result.

ItzBIM:
In that case vote Donald duke...enough with recycling this same old pensioners.

Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is insanity.
- A wise man.

I get angry knowing that some people forced this Dillard on Nigerians just to ruin the good works of PDP thereby enabling highwired rape and robbery of the common purse.

Lifeless threw the economy recession with just one policy: TSA

He wasn't the originator. PDP was. It was not a punishment tool to get at people like Atiku. No . It was a financial leakage management policy .

But lifeless came in and weaponised it.

The entire west was experiencing economic meltdown that demanded that they recall some of their foreign investment to support a reinflation of their home economy. While these guys were pulling out their finances from Nigerian banks , lifeless was ordering the same banks to transfer all government deposit back to CBN.
By the time the venture capitalists pulled out their funds and government took out theie deposit , the banks has no choice but to go after loans defaulter like the oil marketing companies and carry out massive retrenchment. The rest is history.


That was the genesis is our recession

eleojo23:
Exactly...

That is why the country is in this mess today.
Buhari doesn't understand economy at all. What does he even understand sef?


It pains me that many of us spent time on education to get good qualifications and exposure yet we are been governed by a clueless man who can't find his O'level certificate.

The guy cannot even think on his feet without reading from a script.

Heck, even majority of the teenagers on this Nairaland can do better than this Buhari.

My biggest satisfaction was the fact that Atiku didn't visit him before the convention and when asked about his quarrel with Jim told those delegates that he didn't have any issue with him but if he had one with him that was his business and still went ahead to win the convention with a very wide margin



Nigerians are not too kind to any man who wants to play God in a very descending manner ....it happened to obi in Anambra State . He lost even his local government.

HungerBAD:
Of course he is shocked.

For some strange reasons,Obasanjo seems to think he is an Oracle that everybody in Nigeria has to pour libations on before they do anything.

How can someone have such an unforgiving heart?truth is,Obasanjo has lost his relevance and it is always laughable when I hear people say dont count him out,and that he still carries weight politically.

Where exactly is Obasanjo relevant in Nigeria today?Ogun State?definitely not. In Lagos State?in Oyo?or maybe Kano and Bayelsa?

His time is past. Did anybody see Anenih at the convention?that one has given himself brain. Atiku should respect him as a Statesman,but do not fall into the trap of giving him any kind of audience.

We all should join hands in retiring Obasanjo, since he does not want to leave with respect.

With what?

chloride6:
Baba you suppose no talk this one na

That lifeless guy can decide to surprise you

Hmmm

He is on loan to Buhari. He has been Atiku's for ages

ladiesreject:
Like seriously?

Atiku didn't go to Chatham House for nothing. He went for his project defenseand passed very well hence no need inviting lifeless

ladiesreject:
Bros, El-Rufai hate Atiku ooo
Asin na anti-Atiku El-Rufai be.

El-Rufai de among people whe been de call for mama Taraba sack when she been pledge her loyalty to Atiku

But it doesn't matter cause I am atikulate

The elections are not too far off . Let us wait.

PHILipu1:
Lol.
Pyhton already danced in south east before Anambra governorship election and Buhari party still defeated your christian PDP party?
Why?
Is Anambra not south east?

I do not think that those who works for the telcos would agree with you that Atiku was the only one who gained from his vice presidency from 1999'-2003 neither would depositors with our banks of then agree for today his government made the banks better

As for going to America , I would prefer he stays here for the current president went there once and was described as lacking life . To prove us wrong he went again for un assembly and made attempt to see trump but was denied , he ended up disgracing Nigeria by having a unofficial phot session with an American official without his country power (American flag) behind him

Atiku has in his private capacity provided 50,000 Nigerians with real job but lifeless has supervised over the retrenchment of 11,000,000 Nigerians

Felixv:
Atiku spent 8yrs in government - end result - no result.

He was the only one who gained, Can someone give Atiku a free ticket to America

Nobody is confused as to who Atiku is.

The attack on him has only just began

AdonaiAluminium:
Confused and in dilema... Their nemesis has come

APC is gone for good. Eleven million angry and bitter disengaged eligible voters coming out against them will simply bury them

Buhari that went to Abia State to kill young Igbo boys. just that message during the electioneering days is enough campaign in the entire Igbo land

PHILipu1:
Which of the south?
The south that Buhari APc won Edo,Ondo,Ekiti,Osun and beat PDP in Anambra elections?

Which of the south are you talking of?

You will he shock how Buhari will beat PDP blue and black in this south now that the state instrument of rigging are no longer with PDP.

All facts point to landslide victory for Buhari in 2019.

If Atiku was this strong,why couldn't he stay in APC and challenge Buhari for APC ticket like he did against Jonathan?

Benekruku:
Keep encouraging yourself

Come on ground and see

Buhari share north 50/50 with Atiku

Atiku cant get more than 5 states up North

Buhari had contested for three consecutive terms before he was helped to that seat by those currently in PDP. Theophilus Danjuma contributed a lot to his victory in Taraba state even though PDP won the governorship.

Buhari is gone. Even core Muslim I know and I have met like ten today because my business makes it mandatory to meet them(petroleum products) are celebrating the emergency of Atiku .

The Yar'Adua family of Katsina state will soon be revived.

OlaAshawo:
Buhari and Atiku will share 50:50 votes from the North

then we'll finish him off in the south and MB

cilicmarin take note

That is a forward looking party .,.no asset must lie dormant

All this candidates are there to divide the votes from their region. I believe this one is working for Atiku from the Kano axis where he commands some respects . Duke is a known ally and mostly likely sent to hold the sdp ticket locked down by Atiku himself

franchasng:
3million votes ke

Where are these people getting all these their criminal figures from abeg

So you people too have joined APC bad gang of multiplying vote figures ba

Isorai

Imagine, even the presidential aspirant wasn't present at the presumed party's presidential primary elections, he sent a representative

The thing I like about this primary is that Atiku won without Obasanjo. If he had lost the media would have attributed it to the lack of support from Obasanjo and would have gone ahead to paint one picture of how Obasanjo called babangida and called the sultan and they agreed with him that it must not be Atiku.


Obasanjo has a party or movement he created and launched. If he believes he is that powerful, he should transform it intl a formidable party and oil lamido as it flag bearer

techstack:
OBJ vs Atiku

OBJ will never agree with Atiku

I like the sportsmanship spirit from Atiku though

TooNoisy:
Too late for a consensus candidate now. Wike is trying so hard to force Tambuwal on everyone else but the other Governors can see through it all.

I am getting more convinced that Wike might be an APC mole. Tambuwal is not a strong candidate and be easily defeated in a general election. I dont put it past APC working with Wike, afterall they planted Ali Modu Sherrif to distabilize PDP.

At this point its either Atiku, Saraki or Kwankwaso. Only these 3 can challenge Buhari.

This is the first time the party would be organizing a convention that would be free of governor's influence. I take it that there been out of power did them some good.

Atiku remind the best prepared for the job. Sara I comes next for his ability to think on his feet and surmount obstacles then Kwankwaso... My problem with him is that his street followers are more like remnants of boko haram... Scruffy and dirty

Popular Ray HushPuppi who once shared his life story on how he used to use okada to sell 'akube' clothes, has gone over to his insta stories to urge fans that repeating clothes shows you are the real owner.

Is This True??

How a matured man would feel very comfortable handing his phone over to somebody and then posing for the camera, like he is in the studio, on a busy road beats me.

Osun election proofs that Tinubu needs Buhari more than Buhari needs him. But for Buhari police, PDP would have overrun Tinubu , his mandate group leader, the current governor of Osun State and eight sitting governors that were physically present to lend support to his candidate in that election

PUSSYBOY2:
who told u Buhari is with Ambode? Were is your proof that Buhari said so. Buhari surely needs the SW vote for next year election he will support Tinubu's Mandate group so as to get the SW vote next year. This is politics bro

laytoshtwo:
Reconcile with who? He can be impeached tomorrow morning,or they use OSUN formula for him

Osun formula when the man in charge of the security (Buhari) is with ambode

What if they announce the sack of the state exco and grab some of the state assembly men and quarter them in efccc until they deny ever knowing Tinubu

statusquoante:
Tinubu is about to politically decimated.
Sorry!

Make una leave lags, for Tinubu, for now . All this fine tuning of strategy to take over the state by Abuja no go easily work now wey the thing don reach ground.

Why does Trump not want to meet with Buhari? He sent his secretary of state to see a whole president when President Trump himself is around in the country? What an insult! Look at the small room self they are meeting with? Like Aso Villa dog house!

This is a confirmation that Trump actually made the state,ent credited to him that he never a ants to meet a deadbeat like Buhari, here or in the life after


The American man no come with him own America flag too abi no be official meeting na photo ops
