figment232: GEJ should now realise that the battle line is drawn.He should damn any consequemces and send the EFCC after these good for nothing corrupt governors especially That BABA ALIYU with his overgrown stomach.Hediots mtcheeew!

Bambela: Desparate Aboki, it is either GEJ in PDP or Rochas in APC or no Nigeria come 2015. Why Northerners are so frustrated in this way? 5 years out of 100 years you ruled? If not madness, who would discuss politics of any kind while his house is on fire? Do Nigerians good Aliyu by quenching fire that is currently threaning the unity of the country you are desparet to rule. Since the ravaging effect of Boko Haram,no serious condemnation had come from any northern governor . What borthers them most is how to wrestledown power from GEJ . Put your house in order Aliyu

Elueme: Which agreement are we talking here? Back door lame, informal arrangement that has no constitutional bearing or what? How does this affect the constitution of the federal republic and the eligibility of a candidate contesting elections as enshrined in the constitution. This move get to buttress the evil and cunniness of the northern governors who capitalized on the precarious situation of the president in the last general election to arm twist him into an Okija Like agreement. This desperate move by Aliyu and his clique is dead before arrival because the president like any other person is eligibly bound by the federal constitution to have a re- election and whatever, informal, verbal or written agreement he had with some persons are immaterial as far as good governance is concerned.

Deep Sight:

Sorry, i'm a bit slow today. Can you please clarify this post and speak specifically.

eGuerrilla:

Governors forum is stronger than the constitution?
A body not even recognised by law?

BetaThings:

Really? Sir Clark should go to the UN very very quickly because after trying to win an election and failing, the doctrine of estoppel will halt any trip t the UN
BTW - nobody is really afraid of dis-amalgamation

Gbawe:

Thank you !!! I will never understand why Nigerians, often well-educated, choose to be sentimental and biased, to the extent of blinding themselves to what is obvious, when ethnicity is thrown into Politics. This is not the North bullying GEJ. Nothing of the sort. It is GEJ reneging on the pledge he made to Northern governors in his Party to secure the support that defeated the Northern consensus candidate i.e Atiku.

I don't know why some love revising history once the ethnic angle is worked by treacherous characters. Anyway, some will realise why the PDP is regarded as a "Northern Party". I will first urge some children here to go and look at the PDP voting delegates according to region. With GEJ's open treachery, let us see if even one Northern candidate will dare vote for GEJ. South West delegates Nko? Is it SS and SE PDP delegates alone that will win it for GEJ?

Why do people think team GEJ has thrown the idea of "automatic return" for it's Presidential and gubernatorial candidates in the public domain if not that some now realise that GEJ stands no chance of gaining the PDP ticket under the system of delegate voting?

ikwere militant: nd who tod uapc will hav 100 percent block vote in the west or even the north.

ikwere militant: u guys re to in a hurry wait till 2015 let's see if its ur fada dat will emerge as pdp flag bearer

ngozievergreen:
As if votes will count

i suspected likewise and that was what gave birth to this post of mine.

Demdem:

u are right but may not likely succeed inside the killer party. the numbers against him are quite huge. However, am quite sure money can change things. Nigerians should henceforth watch out, our external reserves is about to take a deep dive

Gbawe:

can i suggest 4 cups of strong black coffee instead?

taharqa: No he is actuali Clueless, LOL. Or are you guys tired of repeating dat line....*laughing*

talktimi: The sooner SE & other ethnic minorities in Nigeria realize that they are of no importance to the northerners and SW the better. No minority individual or south easterner will ever have peace if he should step into aso rock as president. when northerners said they will make Nigeria ungovernable for GEJ, they were not mincing words and we are all witnesses to what BH has been doing since the inception of this administration same will befall a minority president from any other tribe who dares become president.

kutchs: Am very sure if such an agreement do in fact exist, Tanko Yakassi a powerful figure in the Arewa Consultative Forum should know. Am surprised his coming out today to rubbish the agreement claim.

Anyway the Governors should do us a favour to release the pact as signed by all parties involved. It amounts to foolishness condemning GEJ when we haven‘t seen the agreement. Whether it exists or not is all a matter of speculation, I expect informed minds to know better than pass value judgement.

jp philips:



as much as you have a point, i doubt if it will play out that way, the Northerners did not sacrifice Atiku on a platter of paper agreements, they had a cash offer of $7,500 for their votes after which the delegates where quarantined,also there was an automatic return ticket for the delegate Govs for their respective states, guaranteed by the acting president, that is why most people are skeptical of a "consensus" North in 2015.

joboy will surely cut them a deal come 2015, APC remains the near shaker in the equation if Buhari and tinubu will sheathe their ambitions, as much as i love Buhari but i think he is no longer conventional for Modern politics, but at least let him be an influential force in the APC party.

An Oshiomole presidency will be the cracker.

kingoflag: It's inevitable that if GEJ returns in 2015, that civil war y'all been trying to avoid with prayers instead of action will definitely breakout. It's Rwanda all over again, baby.

Don't blame or cuss at me, I'm just a good student of history.

Smh Damn, Nigerians are dumb as hell.

eGuerrilla: By raising his head above the parapet, it certainly appears that this trojan horse of a Governor is prepared to fall on his own sword.

Now, while I generally refrain from offering advise to PDP henchmen, I think the likes of Aliyu are doing the North a serious disservice, by touting the inviolability of backroom agreements which fly in the face of meritocracy yet again.

taharqa: Then Let d Civil war COME. Who the helll is afraid of it... Although, who is going to precipitate it. Pips who are already scard to death of the prospects of doing electoral battle with a 'weak' INCUMBENT President?? What do you tink all these NOISE is all about. What most of us see in you chaps is FEAR, and not Strength. And u guys are right- you ought to be rili AFRAID...

omanzo02:

Are u so timid that ethnicity politics is not limited to Nigeria, Advanced democracy like Belgium, Spain , Germany and Switzerland with different ethnic nationalities are into it. Confederation is the solution Nigeria's problem, the North and south-west alliance politics won't hold water in 2015, other ethnicities will come forward with other unattainable demands.

toksesho: . ...Rather GEJ than an Aliyu, Babangida or Atiku. .the rogues have given Nigeria decades of misrule and are now crying foul because a son of the nation's treasure house is in power.
