Would that be a mastroke against Jonathan? Okorocha/ Ribadu as candidates. Looks like el- rufai's big mouth has made Ribadu d darling yet again, El-Rufai would have been a much better candidate thus!

So ladies & Gentlmen what are your take on this? Buhari might be d stumbling block though

Twill be a nice thing as the man has visions

Okorocha has hit d ground running as a Governor, i think that kind of person with mr no nonesense Ribadu would be a fantastic combination. Another plus for Okorocha is he grew up in Jos, i take it he can speak hausa, another unspoken and unwritten prerequiste for d top job 4 a southerner.

OBJ was a good hausa speaker too.

If he likes let him emerge double presidential candidate he will never have the southeast vote.

okorocha is a sell out. to hell with him and their devilish Mega party.

You have gotten your answer, the Ibos say they won't vote for him so the merger can't risk having someone who wouldn't be able to deliver his zone. Shikena.

we will see. till he emerges or don't then we will comment

Rochas is a sweet talker but he's definitely not a visionary leader. His free tertiary education policy is the most STUPIDDD policy I'v heard of in a long while. Basic education should be free for all and sundry but not higher education.

Rochas is giving out free school uniforms and sandals to school children. That is ordinarily good but he destroyed the good in it by IMPORTING the school uniforms. One should have expected some one of his calibre to know that it is senseless to IMPORT school uniforms that can be sewn in Nigeria. Moreover, sewing those uniforms in Nigeria will create jobs and empower some Imolites.

Another thoughtless policy of his is the STUPIDD idea of giving N100 to school pupils per term/month. What are the pupils supposed to do with N100?

What about his silly idea of creating what he called 4th tier govt (traditional rulers govt or whatever)? Is that what we should be doing when almost everyone is complaining about the high cost of running the existing 3 tiers of govt

What about the idea of concessioning state govt owned hospitals? I was told by my colleagues in Imo that FMC Owerri is about the only functional public hospital in the whole of Imo because the state owned hospitals are highly unstable- in and out of strike.

In fact the thoughtlessness and shallowness in Rochas actions and inactions is unprecedented.

If we want an Igbo president or VP, I would rather go for Soludo, Peter Obi, Oby Ezekwesili, Okonjo Iweala,etc but NEVER Rochas.

You have gotten your answer, the Ibos say they won't vote for him so the merger can't risk having someone who wouldn't be able to deliver his zone. Shikena.

The fact is the Igbo's on this forum know this is speculative talk without substance, and it might never happen hence why they are down-playing it, a bird in hand is worth 2 in d bush. I have a feeling the Igbo's would rather dance to Jonathan's tune than follow an illusion. But if it happens, It is then Jonathan will know that he is a minority in d East.

At d moment it is a speculation and secondly, what has APGA got to deliver, Imo and Anambra state(Anambra State is even effy, Obi is too close to Jonathan) to Buhari's probably winning 18 out of d 19 states in d North and Tinunbu's 5 in d SW.

So most Igbos are careful of falling for a no brainer, while would the mega party give her 'biggest price' to a minority party, when they can give it to a majority partner. So the mundane criticism witnessed on this forum of Okorocha's pedigree is lukewarm enough, one can tell, but if the shit hits d fan and Okorocha is picked, Igbo's would jump ship and follow him. I think it is a long shot for Okorocha to emerge as a candidate but then never say never.!!!

Since when did Northern Buhari or western Tinubu become nationalists?
Hope you are not thinking the merger exonnerates these individuals from having regional agendas.

Are you a learner?

Rochas as the Presidential Candidate will certainly swell the rank and file of SE vote. Pairing him with Ribadu will be a classic. I think the SE will massively support his candidacy!

Sincere 9gerian: If we want an Igbo president or VP, I would rather go for Soludo, Peter Obi, Oby Ezekwesili, Okonjo Iweala,etc but NEVER Rochas.

Why not Rochas my brother. Rochas is already positioning himself in the new party, why shouldn't he be supported?

Lol - vp for Igbo? Waiting to see how that will happen in the mega party that other people laboured to put together while Igbos are dinning/winning with GEJ/PDP.

Well, you have heard yoro pechamboi.

We don't give a hoot about okorocha or any southeast governor and your socalled meger party for that matter,
so please stop trying to drag Igbos into your nightmare, don't say you were not warned, to avoid another of your greedy oil subsidy protest disappointment.

you guys should keep hating Rochas! Imolites are proud of him.just because he isn't in pdp makes him a sellout? nonsense!

Hahahaha Buhari must be the man or yawa go ghast for the mega party.

Giving an ibo man presidential ticket will result in automatic failure. The ibos stink of secession.

Even vp they wont get - they are for PDP and also secessionists.

The early you accept that we wanna have own country the better for your high BP.

Hahaha Okorocha is PDP by blood.

Why will any moro.n even mention Okorocha or his ilk as presidential material? Wait! Is it not the same Tinubu, Buhari and some of their most visionary, measured and forward thinking lieutenants that architected and created this alliance / merger? So, why will people who have ALWAYS derided this men, tarnish their reputation unjustly suddenly become the ones to benefit from their work, sweat, patience and good sense?? Was APGA ever interested in a merger? Are they not the usual sellouts such that they will do the bidding of anyone that pays the right price? APGA is the most junior partner of this alliance and have no negotiating advantage over the more established parties, who are the designers and executors of the idea.

What is important is to present a candidate with a REAL record of achievement, completely NIGERIAN (not secessionist), a strong grasp of the issues and WELL ARTICULATED solutions that will solve the problem - in short the BEST man in every possible way. Now, if that man is from the tiniest tribe in Nigeria or the biggest one , N, S, E or W, I am sure most reasonable and progressive true Nigerians will vote for him. Okorocha's ridiculous policies and scandals of punching everyone in his way, his poor record of achievement and < 4 years of governance completely excludes him from consideration. A good candidate must of course be acceptable to his own people and MUST be able to comprehensively deliver every state in his region and make in-roads in other zones + be well complemented by a deputy who is ready to step into NATIONAL leadership immediately not a fumbler and retardeen like Goofluck! In a nutshell, forget Okorocha, let him impress Nigerians and Imolites in 4 years, 8 years; then we'll see if he is up to the pay grade. The party does not need a traitor with a secessionist agenda, who cannot decide if he wants Nigeria or a secessionist state, who is PDP in disguise and will in the end not even be able to win comprehensively in his zone.

The only chance d mega party has is a Fashola for President ticket... Anything else will fail.

Hmmmmm! This gets me thinking deeply.
Hyper-socialism, I have come to learn, is not always the way to go.

Case in point? Detroit.

But truth be told, Okorocha's plan to leave APGA for the Mega Party comes as no surprise.
Dude has always been a cross-carpeter since I've known.

1997 - UNDP
1999 - PDP
2003 - ANPP
2007 - PDP
2011 - APGA
2013 - Garri Party

Shoooooo!!?

Ala ti o le se: A dream that can never come to pass.

The new party should field a Igbo man at their own peril as no Hausa or Yoruba person would vote for him even if Fashola were to be his running mate.

I reject that for Nigeria - Amen!

While some people were working hard, you people were retardeening yourself. If the party is rigged out like your people helped to install the demented retardeen, well the Nigerians who live in Naija will be the one crying why I just come here to laugh them off.
