PoliticsAPC Crisis: Shettima Leads S/west C’ttee To Osinbajo by TundeBricklayer(op): 1:47pm On Dec 04, 2018
Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State, yesterday, members of the South West Committee on national peace and reconciliation committee of the APC for a consultative meeting with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
Governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasiru El-Rufai, former Deputy Governor of Ekiti State, Professor Modupe Adelabu, D-G of NIMASA, Dr. Dakuku Peterside and Barrister Sa’ida Sa’ad Bugaje who are members of the committee attended the meeting which lasted more than one hour inside the meeting room of the vice president in Abuja.
Shettima’s spokesman, Malam Isa Gusau, who attended the meeting as coordinator of the committee’s secretariat, said the committee thought it wise to hold a consultative meeting with Osinbajo who is the highest public office holder from the southwest.
“The meeting was part of ongoing consultations and hearings from specific leaders and members of the APC from the southwest,” Gusau said in statement last night.
“‎The vice president gave an insightful overview of his understanding of the issues in Lagos, Ekiti, Ogun, Ondo, Osun and Oyo states with thoughts of possible ways out.

“The committee members will be meeting other specific leaders in each of the states to get varied positions so as to be equipped with facts. The committee will on Wednesday make public invitations to give sufficient notice for aggrieved members to appear during the committee’s sittings in Lagos, Ekiti and Oyo States to hear submissions the six States that will be paired for each day’s sitting” Gusau said.
Two members of the committee, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos and former Senate President, Ken Nnamani were not at the meeting with the Vice President.

PoliticsRe: Gov Dave Umahi, Chris Uba Mount Pressure On Atiku To Drop Peter Obi by TundeBricklayer: 2:12pm On Oct 13, 2018
[s]
Osagyefo98:
Barely 24 hours after former Anambra State Governor, Mr. Peter Obi, emerged as the Vice Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2019 polls, a clique in Igbo land led by Governor Dave Umahi and Chief Chris Uba has started mounting pressure on the party’s Presidential Candidate, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, to drop him.

Impeccable sources close to the Atiku/Peter campaign network said that Umahi, Chairman of the South-East Governors Forum and who is well known for his closeness to President Muhammadu Buhari, is alleging that Atiku did not consult them before settling for Obi as his choice. This is despite the fact that the choice of Obi has elicited widespread acceptance across the country.

“As part of the rejection, Gov. Umahi with a few others working behind the scene, has called the meetings of Igbos in Enugu today to formally reject Mr. Peter Obi as the Vice Presidential candidate,” one of the sources said.

For Chris Uba, another PDP chieftain, his opposition to Obi is believed to be informed by economic considerations, as Obi had running battles with him during his days as Governor for refusing to continue illegal payments made to him as the then political godfather of the state.

Meanwhile, the Yorubas have expressed readiness to take the Vice Presidential slot with or without consultations. A Lagos-based lawyer, Barr. Wale Agosu, captured the thinking of the Yorubas when he wrote on Facebook:

“I have never seen a more terrible, wicked and brainless people. Imagine, after all the pressure that HE. Abubakar Atiku should choose his running mate from the West, he still went for an Igbo man. Did you notice that since the emergence of Mr. Peter Obi, Nigerians are united in commending the choice because of its quality? I think from what my friends from Anambra State tells me, Obi is an epitome of good governance and Nigerians rejoice because they see in him a man whose expertise will be of great value to the re-building of our over bastardised  country.

“Instead of embracing their own and working with him, some Igbo people are saying they were not consulted. What a people! Is this how they are going to achieve Igbo Presidency?

“The stand of these people means in clear terms that they are rejecting the offer.

“We Yorubas are therefore begging HE Abubakar Atiku to come and pick one of us. We do not even need consultations; just pick one of us because there is no time to waste.

“Let me ask again: Is this how this people will achieve Igbo presidency?”

On his part, another Yoruba lawyer, Barr. Sona Sat, perhaps exasperated by the bickering among the Igbo political elite, wrote in his own Facebook post: “Igbos do not know when to close ranks. I heard Ike Ekweremadu and others have vowed that Atiku must drop Mr. Peter Obi as his running mate. When Osinbajo was nominated, did we hear such in-fighting among the Yorubas? Please come and reason with me!”

Jubilation in South-East as Ohanaeze, Umahi hail Atiku’s choice

The apex socio-cultural organisation of Ndigbo, Ohanaeze, has hailed the appointment of former Anambra State governor Peter Obi as the running mate of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

READ ALSO: 2019: Atiku picks Peter Obi as running mate

Ohanaeze’s commendation came even as there was jubilation in Anambra and other parts of the South East over Obi’s choice as vice to Atiku.

National Publicity secretary of Ohanaeze, Mr. Uche Achi-Okpaga said Atiku made the right choice as Obi has been tested as governor for Anambra State for eight years.

He said appointments should be based on merit and not sentiments or other primordial considerations.

Achi-Okpaga however noted that Ohanaeze is more interested in restructuring of the country than an Igbo becoming vice president or even president.
Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi also congratulated Nigerians and the PDP for the choice of Obi as a running mate to the PDP presidential candidate.

Umahi in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Emmanuel Uzor described the choice of Obi as a master stroke, a political calculation that has all the trappings of making Nigeria work again under the PDP.
He expressed optimism that with the Atiku /Obi ticket, Nigerians will work again, describing Obi as a consummate administrator who showed class in leadership as a two-term governor of Anambra State.
Secretary General of Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP), Willy Ezeugwu said Obi’s choice is the best thing that has happened to the people of the South East and Nigeria.
He described Obi as a detribalised Nigerian whose track records speak volumes, saying that the Atiku/Obi ticket would reposition the country.

Former member of the House of Representatives and a PDP chieftain, USA Igwesi also commended Atiku for not succumbing to sentiments in his choice of VP.
He said that the PDP’s presidential candidate has shown that he does not want to play politics with the future of Nigerians describing Obi as great technocrat and manager of resources. Former PDP Chairman in Anambra State, Chief Pandola Okwuosa said it was a welcome development which will go a long way to get the bloc support of not only Anambra State but the entire South East.
Peter Obi is a great mobiliser and he has an impeccable political record in Nigeria. People will follow him and with his emergence, other political parties will also join hands to support Atiku irrespective of party affiliations and with this arrangement, they will take power from the incumbent administration” he said.

PoliticsWhether We Admit It Or Not, Atiku Is A Formidable Opponent, Says APC Chieftain by TundeBricklayer(op): 1:40pm On Oct 13, 2018
Whether we would like to admit or not, the presidential candidate that the main opposition party, the PDP, settled for is a formidable opponent, even if not a credible one," he said
Dr Mohammed Santuraki, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Niger State, has said whether the ruling party admits it or not, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, is a "formidable opponent".
He also urged the APC to put its house in order to emerge victorious in the 2019 general election.
He stated this when he spoke with NAN in Suleja, Niger State on Saturday.
Santuraki also urged the party to address the issues related to the primaries to ensure that the APC remains united.
His words: "Whether we would like to admit or not, the presidential candidate that the main opposition party, the PDP, settled for is a formidable opponent, even if not a credible one.
Within a week of emerging as the presidential flag bearer, he appointed his campaign team and named his running mate. This to me indicates a much needed sense of urgency. We, in APC must respond in like manner. The clock is ticking. We must push the button.

Speaking on the disagreements within the party, he highlighted the steps taken to address them and commended the party's leadership for its efforts.

He said: “I am happy to note that 10 long days after the October 2 primary elections in Niger, better judgement eventually prevailed. Agreed, it was a choice between a rock and a hard place, but it shouldn’t have been a difficult choice.

“While the election results were adjudged incomplete, flawed and inconclusive in Zone A, and the results also contested in the other zones, a greater level of injustice would have been perpetrated if the tickets were auto-awarded to the incumbents.

“It is commendable that the national chairman finally accepted a more logical reasoning by awarding the victory to the presumed winners of the elections.

“I congratulate and thank Governor Abubakar Sani Bello, the senatorial aspirants, the elders and other APC stakeholders for their resolute stand on the side of our people, for fairness throughout this process. I firmly believe that a flawed democratic process is better than outright dictatorship.”

Afenifere, Umahi, Yakassai, others react *Ohaneze to court Arewa youths, Middle Belt,Yoruba
The choice of a former governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi as the vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was generally described as a deft move by a cross-section ofNigerians. His emergence as the running mate to the party’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku didn’t come as a surprise as his name had prominently featured among those being considered for the position. Saturday Vanguard learned that Atiku met with Obi in his Asokoro residence after Jamaat prayers yesterday in Abuja. A statement by the Director General of Atiku Campaign Organisation, Otunba Gbenga Daniel said the former governor was mainly chosen because of his vast knowledge of global and local economics. Other reasons adduced were his youthfulness and experience in the management of people and resources. However, most people, who spoke to Saturday Vanguard on the development were emphatic that Obi’s presence would add value to Atiku’s prospects. Those who reacted include Ebonyi State governor, Mr. Dave Umahi; Deputy Senate Minority Leader, Senator Emmanuel Bwachaa; former governor of Anambra State, Chief Chukwuemeka Ezeife; National Vice Chairman, South, of the PDP, Mr. Eddy Olafeso; and Spokesperson of pan-Yoruba sociopolitical organisation, Afenifere, Mr. Yinka Odumakin. Others are former Minister of Aviation in the First Republic, Chief Mbazulike Amaechi; ex-Adviser to former President Shehu Shagari, Alhaji Tanko Yakassai; Ohaneze Youths; a member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Uzo Azubuike; former member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Victor Ogene; former governorship candidate in Anambra State, Mr. Oseloka Obaze; and Chairman, Niger State chapter of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr. Tanko Beji. It’s a masterstroke—Gov Umahi Umahi in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Emmanuel Uzor described the choice of Obi as a masterstroke, adding that it had all the things that would make Nigeria work again. He described Obi as a consummate administrator, who showed class in leadership as a two-term governor. Umahi further maintained that Atiku and Obi would bring ingenuity and wealth of experience to bear when they become President and Vice President of Nigeria next year. Peter is a great choice.—Ezeife Ezeife described the choice of Obi as great, adding that he was not wasteful in the management of resources while serving as governor. He said: “Peter is a great choice. He brings his business intelligence into governance. He is not corrupt and as a governor, he was not wasteful. I must say that I am very happy.’’ On his part, Olafeso said: “As a National Vice Chairman of the party, I hail the decision to pick Peter Obi as running mate to our presidential candidate. The decision to pick him is based on his outstanding performance as governor of Anambra State. He is a successful businessman and we expect his experience to translate into good governance for our nation.’’
Atiku/ Obi ticket a good one—Yakassai An elder statesman, Alhaji Tanko Yakassai said: “ It was expected all along that the slot of the Vice President should go to the South East for the PDP as APC has chosen the South West. What is not ascertained is whether the choice of Peter Obi is the collective choice of the majority of the people of the South East. Atiku Abubakar/ Peter Obi ticket is a very good one. Atiku Abubakar is a Muslim from the North while Peter Obi is a Christian from the South just as Muhammadu Buhari is a Muslim from the North and Yemi Osinbajo is a Christian from the South. Everything is balanced.” This is Atiku’s time—Amaechi Reacting, Amaechi, said: “Peter Obi is an experienced politician, administrator, and businessman. Obi and Atiku are widely exposed. Nigeria needs an enlightened government that will manage our economy very well. This is Atiku’s time to reign and with Peter Obi, I think it is a good team. I don’t know how the South West will take it but I want to advice the APC against rigging the elections. The things I saw in Ekiti and Osun states were not elections.” Atiku/Obi should be committed to restructuring—Afenire Odumakin stated thus: “All we are concerned about at this stage is that they should be committed to the restructuring of Nigeria. If it is true that he has picked Peter Obi as his running mate, he should join him to work out a clear-cut programme on restructuring and ensure that he remains steadfast to that because restructuring is the main issue that will determine the next election. ” A former House of Representatives member, Mr. Victor Ogene, said:’’The name, Peter Obi, has over the last decade come to represent frugality in public finance, sobriety, and probity in spending, and excellence in public office. His choice, therefore, as vice presidential candidate of the PDP, beyond representing a positive move towards integrating the Igbo into the top leadership strata of the nation is apt. “As a successful two-time governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi comes fully ready for the top position he has been chosen for. ” Azubuike said: “It is a welcome development. It shows that Atiku and indeed PDP have been positioned to redress the injustice and grave marginalisation that Igbo have suffered in the hands of the current administration. “It shows that Atiku is focused on reuniting and redefining Nigeria as one entity where all sections of the country will have a sense of belonging and active participation in governance. “Of course, Peter Obi is experienced, quite knowledgeable, exposed and humble. He brought sustainable socioeconomic development to Anambra State. I am sure he will bring that experience to bear.’’ It’ll unite Nigerians—Ekweremadu’s aide An aide of the Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, who didn’t want his name in print said he believed the choice of Peter Obi would strengthen the relationship between the North East, the North Central, the North West, South South, and South East. He said: “The Igbo are spread across Nigeria. In the North, some politicians who used to be with Buhari have left him. For instance, someone like Buba Galadima has left him. The international community has also seen the real Buhari and is not impressed with him. I am confident the South East and the South South will go for Atiku Abubakar/Peter Obi presidency. The South West people are wise voters and they know the right thing to do.” A former presidential aspirant of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Chief Charles Udeogaranya said: “Peter Obi as a running mate in the political calculation is expected to deliver the entire South East to the PDP. He is also expected to mobilise the entire Southern region for PDP while Atiku Abubakar should mobilise the North. Peter Obi will give Atiku Abubakar the required 25 percent to win the presidency.” Obaze said: “His Excellency, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has made the right choice in picking Peter Obi as his running make.” Atiku has just the exhibited the ability to make hard-headed decision required of purposeful leaders.” Speaking on the matter, Ohaneze Youth Council said: “We are calling on Igbo youths to ensure that the duo of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi make it to Aso Rock in 2019 as President and Vice President. We will reach out to Arewa youths, Ijaw, Middle Belt, Ibibio, Yoruba youths under the Nigeria Ethnic Nationalities Youth OrganiSations for the success of Atiku and Peter Obi.’’

[[s]quote author=odiks post=72035192]The Chairman of the South East Governors Forum and governor of Ebonyi State, Engr. David Nweze Umahi, has expressed shock over the choice of former governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi as the running mate to the presidential candidate of PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubarkar without consulting with the leaders of the zone.

Umahi said the earlier statement quoting him as congratulating Peter Obi was never with his knowledge and dissociated himself from the statement, saying that the position of the entire South East zone has always been that any position zoned to the South East must be deliberated upon by the leaders of the zone.

He said in the case of the appointment of Mr. Obi as Atiku’s running mate, neither the governors, nor Igbo leaders were consulted, a situation he said was a great departure from the earlier agreement.


The governor appologized to Nigerians and Ndigbo for the statement, adding that his Chief Press Secretary acted without his knowledge and wish to state categorically that he has nothing personally against Peter Obi or any other person emerging as the running mate to the presidential candidate of PDP.

He said that any position zoned to Ndigbo must be discussed and agreement reached so that the right thing is done in line with the perculiar nature of Igbo politics and their quest for politics of inclusiveness.

globemoney:
The hysteria of Peter Obis emergence as Atiku’s VP will soon evaporate and Atiku will realize he has done a wrong calculation today!
Atiku needed a candidate that is very popular in the SE to get more votes in the SE and competed favorably with SW, Peter Obi is not that candidate!
First Peter Obi is not popular in the SE. Yes he has many people on his payroll making noise for him on social media.
In 2015 he was the DG of GEJ campaign in the SE and GEJ lost 2.5 million votes against his votes in 2011.
Peter Obi is hated by the iPOB guys for the role he played in the killing and dumping of dead bodies at Ezu River as Anambra governor, also for his shoot at sight order to Massob members as governor.
in fact when he went to campaign in onitsha in main market in 2017, he was chased out by the ipob guys in the market.

With the following points, it will be a miracle for Peter Obi to mobilize igbos to vote. There will be voter Apathy in the SE which will work in Buhari’s favor.

APGA will be campaigning massively for the presidential candidate in Anambra to avoid the case where people will vote for PDP presidential candidate and other PDP candidates remember the election is holding the same day!

Atiku with corruption tag should not have run with another candidate with corruption hanging on his his neck, in the coming weeks get ready for corruption cases of Peter Obi to hit the public space, many ignorant folks will be surprised.

In all these SW votes will still go to Osinbajo and with APC now making inroads into Akwa Ibom and Rivers, PDP will not get block votes there as usual.

I am still rooting for Atiku tho but I’ll be watching to see how this plays out!

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, is currently holding talks with Peter Obi in Abuja, PREMIUM TIMES has learnt.
Mr Obi arrived at Mr Abubakar’s residence in Asokoro neighborhood around 3:00 p.m., and both have been holding undisclosed talks.

The former Anambra governor is widely speculated as a top candidate for Mr Abubakar to pick as running mate.

The former vice president on Sunday became the presidential candidate of PDP, Nigeria’s main opposition.

Several options have been suggested in the public domain, with the candidate being widely expected to choose from either the Igbo-dominated Southeast or a Yoruba choice in the Southwest part of the country.
It was not immediately clear whether Mr Obi’s visit was in connection to the intensified efforts for a running mate.

Details shortly…

[[s]quote author=Unik3030 post=72021954]guy from analysis buhari will win hands down because obi as a VP is a bad market for atiku in d North cos majority of northerners will not want an Igbo man as VP n d Yorubas will also not vote for atiku because they prefer their own as VP cos they might see it as Igbos taking d presidency from backdoor[/quote][/s]
I don't know why some Yorubas are bitter

The thing is Ngozi Okonjo Iweala is more generally liked in Nigeria and also a prominent figure in the international scene. Educated people would have seen her as a step in the right direction. I mean those in the south west. If Obasanjo is willing to fully back Atiku then am sure at least 40% of the votes from the SW can be gotten. Let the south south and south east come out in their numbers to back Atiku. This has been the problem of the south south and south east. They sit at home during election day whereas in the north even the children are made to come out in their number to vote and yet we cry foul when it doesn't go our way. After following the primaries closely I am pained I didn't get a PVC
You lie bro Check out how east and west voted 2011

PoliticsDear Brother Tinubu Writes Memorable Letter To Atiku by TundeBricklayer(op): 2:48pm On Oct 12, 2018
Throwback

Former Governor of Lagos State and All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has described former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as a man of faith, saying that faith has kept him going and waxing strong.
In a letter he personally signed, Asiwaju Tinubu felicitated with Atiku on attaining the proverbial age of 70 and urged him to accept that “there is a tide in the affairs of men”.

He said in the letter in which he addressed Atiku as his dear brother:

“I write to felicitate with you on the attainment of the proverbial age of three scores and ten, 70.

“Your life has been a life of service to your people, your country and the causes you believe in. Nigeria has been well served by your stewardship and leadership.

“Your steadfastness in walking the democratic path sets you apart as a leader with substance.

Your passion for education has seen you invest your time and resources in education, knowing full well that when you educate people, you educate a nation.

You are a man of faith. Your faith has kept you going and kept you strong. I urge you to accept that there is a tide in the affairs of men.
“You must continue to serve Nigeria well even as a private citizen. And a notable leader.


“Do not relent because Nigeria needs you and others like you to continue to make life more meaningful.

“We must continue to explore common grounds towards promoting the common good. I pray for a long life and continued good health for Turaki Adamawa, Atiku Abubakar”.
