dafnna: in 2015, northerners will be desperate to pull back power to their region.
The opposition can never win the forth coming elections against PDP without the support of the north.
Let us not deceive ourselves. Jonathan is clearly not capable of translating Nigeria to the next level. His presence in Aso-rock shows the poor state of our electoral process. As a nigerian-canadian, i am baffled on how he got there and mindset of our people who voted for him, because i learnt the election was on average a bit free and fair.
APC, i will advice you nominate a Marwa OR Ribadu for president and fashola OR pat utomi for vice-president. PDP is the devil's tool against Nigeria, i speak from a spiritual angle.
my most preferred choice is Marwa/ fashola ticket. These two have performances above AVERAGE as governors of the most complex state (LAGOS).
A muslim-muslim ticket is not the issue now. Nigeria must move forward by getting rid of PDP.
I miss my country badly.I love you guys.

Paul John: Any problem with Muslim/muslim ticket?
What a country

Omo_Tier1: With all seriousness, when it comes to development, you cannot place Rochas, Fashola and Oshiomhole on the same line. Perhaps after spending four years at governor of IMO state, then we can begin to talk about Him moving to the Centre.

Clearly, when it comes to prudential management, wealth creation, personnel development and human capacity building, infrastructural development, Rochas is yet to demonstrate much experience and if Nigeria is ever going to move forward, individuals who have demonstrated their capacity in these regard should be elected to President. No doubt, any sincere individual who attest to the fact that Fashola and Oshiomhole have demonstrated thus.

The mission to rescue Nigeria come 2015 is not about ethnicity, rather about having the best hands with proven positive experiences of good governance with developmental strides as her hallmark to be elected as President. Rochas in my opinion is not ripe to be elected into that position and should be encouraged to continue on the good course He has began in Imo state. I think it would do him more good if He stays that course because by the time He is done serving two terms in Imo state, He will amongst the experienced governors who will rightly be seen by Nigerianscas good for Presidency, provided He continues on the good path of infrastructural development Imo is already beginning to witness under His reign.

I know you want an Igbo man to be president, perhaps an Igbo woman, however, you need to ask yourself, which persons of Igbo extraction has the clout to win at least 4states in every region of the country in order to become president, possibly none at the moment.

As for the bolder in my post, it is a no brainner that Fashola and Oshiomhole have in their first term faced several complexities, whether political, economical in governance and were able to manage it and did so courageously.

I can't think of any Rochas has faced since becoming a governor perhaps you can give me some examples.

ndu_chucks: There is no reason to believe that, if he runs, Buhari will lose the states he won during the last election. I submit to you that, as the APC candidate, he will win Edo, most of the SW states, and one or two more states in the SE, in addition to the ones he won in the North during the last election. GEJ or anyone else will be defeated by such showing.

No?

Omo_Tier1: Wining ticket : Buhari and Oshiomhole, Fashola for Senate President. Rochester needs to remain in IMO State for another 6years minimum and turn IMO State into the pride of South East before He can take shot at the Presidency.

Right now we need a team that can crush corruption, restore security and pursue aggressive development. I really do not care where the individuals are from but never again should Nigeria end up with a mediocre as a president!

If Buhari decides not the run, then Oshiomhole would be my first choice for the Presidency and I would Fashola for me should be Senate President. It is so sad for the first time for so long as I can remember, I can't think of any South Easterner who really possess the accuse to be a Vice President nor President. Look at Ayim, even as the SFG, there is nothing one can speak well of about his reign.

ENOUGH OF EMERGENCY PRESIDENT.... NIGERIA NEEDS A PRESIDENT OF NECESSITY....

hercules07: You might want to credit OBJ too, I despise the man but he was the one behind this power plant.

gbola h: I pray fashola become the president of nigeria comes 2015.his the type of leader we need in this country,people should put aside sentiment n face Na waa for u who told u others think the same the reaility of life.

kaysy: Nobody has asked for the introduction of religious bigotry here... just say your mind
Personally for me, i'l vote for BRF if he emerges as the presidential flag bearer of the party, i dnt care about religion, all am more concerned with is performance that's all.
