Assuming If PDP zone to North, what can the governors do

The whole of Southern Nigeria will sit-at-home on the election day. Then we would no longer take orders from Abuja but Lagos, the rebirth of a defunct nation.

FakeUnity:


On the same argument that the north has done 8 years, that same argument precludes yorubas from contesting. SW yorubas have done 8 years as presidency and VP of 8 years by 2023, so they are the least qualified in the South to contest.

If the SW is shouting fairness and equity, so that all southerners can them to hijack the presidency to their region, then the southern nonsense won't work.

Everybody in the south, knows the only region in the south that has not produced presidency and VP since 1999, that region is the South East, if the southern unity scheme is not geared towards fairness and justice for the SE that has not tasted power since 1999, then let's stop wasting our time with the 'Southern unity' hullabaloos.

Our heads in the SE will not be used to break coconut for yorubas to eat and then go home and mock us on how they are smarter than everyone else. An antecedent that they are well known for.

Let the southern forum work towards making their mega parties zone their tickets to the South East and assuage the tensions there. Thank you all.

Presidency is not given, it is taken either with strategy or with force.

When Obasanjo became President, the Presidency was not zoned to the South-West, instead it was zoned to the South. That is why Alex Ekwueme contested against Obasanjo at the PDP primaries in 1999 and Obasanjo whipped Ekweume's ass mercilessly.

Also, in 2003, Emeka Ojukwu contested under APGA against both Obasanjo and Buhari and the Yoruba prodigal son Obasanjo defeated the Igbo lord Ojukwu in all the 11 South-East and South-South states including Emeka Ojukwu's home state and local government.

So, the rotation is between North and South and not between 6 geographical zones. Of you start talking about the geographical zones, the North East and North Central too will say it is there turn to produce the President.

Conclusively, as Yorubas are putting Tinubu the Jagaban forward with Professor Yemi Osinbajo and Femi Akinwumi (ADB President) as reserves, you Igbos too should put your candidates forward and lobby other regions to your candidates. Abusing other regions and name calling will not get you to the Presidency.

assuming inside your assumed EVERYONE CANNOT BE IN YOUR SHOES BASED ON YOUR REASON LEVEL

Baawahala:
Then Northern Governors will oppose will oppose any party that fields a southern candidate, let's see how the game is played.

And wen they they oppose, the tenure of lifeless would come to and end.

Since nobody to be on the throne, everyone will go on her separate ways

kamalbob:


Meanwhile, we will not any political party that field a southerner as well. So let's rumble. Tribalistic psychopath mtsww

The earlier you know no northerners will be president come 2023 the better for you.

Who southerners field as president is none of your business. Just have it at the back of your mind that northerners is a NO come 2023

Go and face your north and leave southerners alone

I am a Yoruba man but if 2023 presidency isnt exclusively zoned to the south east then the whole zoning thing for the sake of equality is just bullshit.

Buhari's extreme nepotism stems from this zoning issue.

God punish all of una with that presidency quest. North West is the most developed right?
Instead of talking how to rescue people from this contraption you are talking of presidency. Presidency kee una dia.

Iamgrey5:
Akeredolu much as I ire you, please just speak for South West from now on.




The South East has another agenda.

Aketi is the leader of Southern Nigeria today. Recognised and accepted by the populace of the region.

Dave Umahi OK but peter Obi is a criminal. I would rather Buhari go a third than Peter Obi as ordinary VP talk more of being the president.

kcnwaigbo:

Solid track record? So Peter Obi, Dave Umahi don't have solid track record? You people joke too much

EagleNest:
100% correct.

By the same measure and in the spirit of fairness, when it is zoned to South, it should also be narrowed to South East. SE is the only geopolitical zone in the south that is yet to produce president in the current democratic dispensation.

Read the comment about - Politics is not a game of sentiment. But logic and numbers. The North has the numbers, the only logical move is to ally with the North.

Know that and have peace!

Akeredolu is playing the afonja strategy. If they are really serious they should microzone it a particular region in the south, especially the southeast. If truly we are pushing for fairness then southern governor's forum should microzone. Anything outside this is only a ploy to arm twist the PDP to playing into the hands of the APC. Yoruba's can't really be trusted. I hope the south south and southeast don't play into the trick being pushed subtly by Akeredolu.

flokii:


SW has credible candidates with solid track record.. people like Asiwaju Tinubu, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo, Adewumi Adesina, Fashola and co.
We want people with tested and trusted hands not some trial and error misfits.

Buhari was also a tested hand before 2015.

Good Mr incredible governor akeredolu, the only ball for south now is that , wike should pick tambuwal as running mate under PDP, and tinubu, or osinbajo, or akeredolu himself should contest under APC

It won't work but it's a nice thing to do. There are a lot of betrayers in your midst.
By the way, from the look of all things the PDP is bent on fielding a northerner because their chairman is coming from the south.

flokii:
North would have completed two which is 8 years by 2023.. common sense dictates that power should move South for another 8 years for equity sake except the North have evil agenda or something to hide.

Southerners no come sell groundnut for Nigeria now. Kilode

When you ppl were ing buhari in 2015 you didn't put this into consideration , now you ppl are shouting power shift to the south up n down like your lifes depends on it
For una info, as for the south east, it's either the power comes to the south east or it continues to stay in the North.
In fact we are going to " a King in the North"till the south comes back to it's senses

StrongInBed:


Shut your dirty mouth there desert Man... South East with a population well above that of hausas and the entire North...is like you don't know the three biggest tribes in the country.bloody minority animal from North.

Nawa for u o
Ordinary write up u cant comprehend yet begin dey throw insults.
For ur info.
The imaginary population of kano is 9.4million
The 2 biggest states in of population in the east(Anambra and imo) put together is just 8million
Kaduna is 6million, the remaining three states in the south east do not amount to dat figure. Whether these northern figures are real or not(reason why i used imaginary) thats what will reflect during a presidential election. And mind u north have 19 states and fct
South only have 17 states that even the combined population wont amount to 15 States in the north. So brother stop living in a dream land.

Baawahala:

Then stop blackmailing us with this fake southern Unity...

With all pleasure u can chose your president from hell if you like not just the north n that's from a Yoruba.

Spidermon:

Is there anytime Presidency was zoned to the South-West?

What's about North-Central and North-East? When is their turn?

Rotation is between North and South and not between the six geographical zones

ANDREW91:


Any if all d northern govs decides to back a northern PDP presidential candidate, who do u think will win

so which party candidate will both apc and Pdp back

caracas:

Story for the gods
So during elections, the governor of a state can be every where in the state right?

Yoruba's reading the body language of the north to retain the presidency in 2023 wants to use other region in the south to fight their cause in APC. As everyone knows APC and PDP are two separate parties, with distinct strategies to win the presidency come 2023. Therefore, southern governor's forum shouldn't compel political parties to field presidential candidate from the south when such move may be counter productive. I think Akeredolu is playing a script crafted to create confusion and weaken PDP in 2023 presidential election

Why didn't the number gave Buhari victory ever since he had been contesting? What happened to the numbers then?

Tinubu sold buhari to Nigerians cheaply and we did bought it. The southerns are very much wiser now. Who the southerners field for president isn't your business. Your business is to face your northern region. Nothing nothing for una come 2023

Iamgrey5:
The only North Central that can ever rule Nigeria will come from Niger or Nasarawa state

Benue can never produce President under the current arrangement in Nigeria. Fact!

Southwest would have produced presidents twice over before Benue can be considered for VP.

LoL,
It's your ignorance more than your pride for me.....
You forget that Jonathan is from bayelsa , a place smaller than Benue state n he ruled Nigeria for 6 good years.
Mark my words yorubas will never rule this country again till the country divides.
In case you don't know the whole country is out for you guys.....

Nice move, bold move.

Was there a southern coaliton pre-2015?
Jonathan was an accidental president, the North have right to claim power in 2015.
If jonathan have stepped down to allow north complete their tenure PDP wont have lost power in 2015

ORIENTATION101:
so which party candidate will both apc and Pdp back

If the south tries to implement what happened in 2015 where 95% of the northern states voted buhari regardless of party affiliation, it will not work because we dont have the population

Rotimi Amaechi is the next Nigeria President.

I rest my case!

Hamiltonii:


Buhari was also a tested hand before 2015.

Tinubu and Fashola can't be a trusted candidates because they are both corrupt. Tinubu has been milking Lagos treasury since 1999, Fashola on the other hand builds a common website for hundreds of millions.

The best candidates Nigeria needs at this critical point of our national life are in the south south and southeast e.g GEJ, Ngozi Okonji Iweala, Peter Obi, Nyesome Wike, Ifeanyi Okowa etc. The Yoruba's can't be trusted, FFK explains defection to APC explains this better

Your father can be from hell no one cares.

Stop making it look like the southerners are united in this cos we are not.
The south east will not tolerate any other zone in the south to contest for the presidency, we will rather hand it over to the north at a platter of gold.. .

It's either your memory is short or you're a member of the indomie generation class.
The presidency was zoned to the SW in 1999 cos of Abiola, hence the two main political parties fielded yorubas as their candidates
