ckkris: Ilugun ole, there is GREAT CELEBRATION. Let's see how Amaechi will bow to Tinubu & Buhari, even if they make Amaechi a running mate to Kwankwaso.

ilugunboy:

No President can become the elected President of Nigeria by losing in Lagos...Kano and Rivers.

GEJ can't have Lagos nor Kano for certain with this development...Rivers is not 100% in the kitty either.

I wonder why some people think that winning the primary of PDP now is sure bet....

bakynes: SW+Core North Vs SS+SE with MB votes shared btw both parties.
Note* No president in Nigeria can be relected in a free and fair election without the North supporting him due to their population. The last election, we saw the whole South United that made Jonathan the President today. With the SW backing out, Surely Jonathan cannot win a free and fair election,his available option which I foresee in 2015 is outright rigging of the elections and use of the Military Power. But again one will wonder if possibly the miliatry will disobey orders from the president, let's also remember the chief of Army staff is from the SE. Brace yourselves pple for a bloody 2015.

casgal: so can it be said now that PDP is the opposition party?

Sincere 9gerian: What a shame. I just watched a video clip of the announcement of the so called merger. The chairman of the newPDP who was supposed to read the statement announcing the merger could not even pronounce the full meaning of APC. He was aided by cacophony of voices

Ogbeche77: Aregbesola and Oyinlola in the same party... Same faces, new party.. Who's deceiving who

Sincere 9gerian: Some of the so called G-7 governors are not in firm control of their state. The governors of Kwara, Adamawa and Rivers are perfect examples.

Meanwhile, I expected APC e-warriors who claim PDP is the problem with Nigeria to reject the G-7 governors. But it seems that is not the case. Does that mean PDP is no longer the problem? What I see is desperation to grab power just for the sake of it and it will fail.

ITbomb: Aggreived and same corrupt people now getting a new name.
How long shall we continue like this.
My problem with APC is that if voted into power , it will be a reign of bitterness and revenge, dismantling every little progress made by PDP to make their own name.
So I prefer let the transformation be concluded by 2019 before we consider new players
End of the road for the most confuse political gathering APC as more confusionist now enters

alaoeri:
OBJ, IBB, ABDULSALAM will also throw their weight behind APC in a bid to chase GEJ out of power come 2015.

yorke1:


And you are not corrupt, right?

yorke1: Ameachi is going to regret this! ganging up with the Northerner to unseat your brother. They have ruled for so many years with nothing to show for it. And you believe Buhari to perform magic now, wake up Ameachi the dreamer! Tinubu and Buhari only need your money for the forthcoming election. be wise!

BarryX: God knows this is the ONLY reason that will make me vote Jonathan come 2015

My vote my right

Italiano1:

The cries of a drowning man

At least he didnt call PDP the Umblerra party like Dr Patience Jonathan. What you are witnessing is called political sophistication; APC has played a blinder and has beaten GEJ at his own game.

Even his own region, the SS has now being compromised- Ameachi will deliver Rivers state to the APC Reminds me of a saying- The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone

GEJ supporters- please do us a favour- Suck it up!!

Black Human: You all can say whatever u want to console yourselves. The fact is; this makes APC a stronger party....there's strenght in numbers and APC is truly now a national party....u ibos had better come on onboard quick. And dump dat APGA idea....because that APGA kite is never gonna fly.

tomakint:
For real, it calls for celebration! 2014, Jonathan go show some people say he is the "Commander-In-Chief" of the Federal Republic of Nigeria!

superior1: [size=13pt]Anything but PDP[/size]

Godman_n:

One error, bros. In July 1966, Igbos alone had over 70% of the senior officer in Nigerian Army, yet uncommissioned Officers of Northern Origin Overthrew Ironsi and killed over 200 Southern Officers. Same will surely repeat itself if GEJ plays with the army.

The major factor on who control the military is the troup. If the members of the armed forces are loyal to their ethnic party, which we do happens in Nigeria, they will go against officers that issue counter orders. Also given a typical Northerner who is ready to die for what he believes; I forsee Ihejrika loosing the command of the army when the heat comes.

GEJ and my Igbo brothers seems to have lost it again.

lovejo: 7 Governors decamping does not mean the electorate will vote for them, it change nothing in reality because the voting and rigging in Nigeria election is beyond the APC or 7 Governors.

Ayekotoo:
why can't you bigot just shut your stinking mouth? must you play divisive political game every time? There are westerns and Northerns in PDP as long as its a nigerian party likewise other parties. So stop this primordial sentiment.
