ilugunboy: cramjones....I have this issue that have been bothering my mind silently ...more like a fear.

What is the possibility that most of these defecting members into APC will not again defect back to PDP once they captured power at the center?

Obiagelli:
I understand your point and I am also waiting for them (apc) members to cut their salaries but it is too little compared to the waste in the executive.

Ngene-Ukwenu:
Cramjones, Why are the APC Senators foot-dragging on formalizing their defection just like the house counterparts?

2. What are APC's plan about taking over the leadership of the house having met the constitutional requirements?

cramjones:

Focus on the person and not the region. Have you heard Lagosians complaining about Fashola's religion? Religion and ethnic politics come to play when the government of the day does nothing and relies on ethnic sentiments to be elected to office

Obiagelli: @ Cramjones I hope the APC is also restructuring it publicity department, i am not always satisfied with lai Muhammad on most issues, he is mostly rash and gooved on the impeachment call. I would like to see a team effort in fact there should be a publicity office.

cramjones:

We want an all inclusive Nigeria. However, we don't think we will get much votes from the South-South and South-East for obvious reasons. However, we are sure to win the whole of South-West, the North and at least half of the middle belt. The Jonathanians can't beat that, and mark my word there would be no rigging in these regions. The Federal government knows they can't try that!

cramjones:

Keep your eyes and ears open and see what happens...lots of drama very soon in our polity

daylae: the whole of SW? one thing you and your party should know is that an average person from the SW hardly toll the party or ethnic lane when casting his vote,the demographics of the last election is a classic example where people voted overwhelmingly for the ACN during the governorship polls because of the caliber of people presented ,but shaply changed their course at the presidential polls.
If the APC fail to present a likeable candidate with unquestionable character,the pattern of votes from the SW won't be any different this time as well; especially when you leave us with no other choice but to preferring the bad to the worse.

warrior01:
You don't need to be clever by half. We all know the lust for power by the APC is not because they love the average Nigerian but just for power to return back to the north by all means possible irrespective of the performances of the current administration which has surpassed all previous regimes. So surprising that good candidates can't be found in other regions but only from those cabal that brought us to where we are today. Keep on deceiving yourselves

Ngene-Ukwenu:


Without prejudice to any response from Cramjones, I beg to disagree, Lai Mohammed is one of the good things to happen to APC. The crafty way he responds to issue is enviable and PDP know this. On the impeachment move, even though we know it might be impossible but it is the job of the opposition to keep you on your toes. Do you know what we gained from that threat? I do not want to mention some gains here for obvious reasons.
So let Lai continue in that regard because situation they say, determines character and as our people use to say (If a birds learns how to fly without perching, the hunter should as well shoot without aiming )

helpee: @fani kayode, good response so far. However, as a nigerian youth, I don't buy the sentiment of APC...apc is only trying to hijack power by all means possible and it will create very deep disaffection between the various ethnic divide in nigeria. Apc is a lazy party...not interested in building a party but in assembling failed politicians from apc. I remember how you connived with el rufai to push out atiku undemocratically from the FEC meeting during the crisis with obasanjo...and all of u are now back in the same political fold saying you are all progrssives. If jonathan should join APC today, tinubu will gladly lead party members to aso rock and say to hell with buhari. Such a party can't last even if u win the election. Once u win the election, nothing will change. Tell me one single individual in your party that can make a change and has never been part of PDP before? None? So what's different from what we had before? Tambuwal is unstable...from anpp to pdp to apc ...he has no ideology. Buhari can't rule nigeria except as a military man. He will cause serious divide. So for you to assume that the whole of south west will follow APC cos king tinubu say so is a serious political miscalculation that may backfire

Obiagelli:
I agree with some of your points but I will tell you neutrals don't actually take him seriously. His comments are not fully coordinated. IMO el rufai or fashakin, will do better.

eGuerrilla: Greetings cramjones,

Given the number of constituents parties which make up the APC, do you know if there are any plans to adopt open primaries for the selection of electoral candidates?

I ask this question because I am curious to know how potential fissures are likely to be resolved going forward.

cramjones:

Can't you see that the last elections, the ACN had agreed to support the PDP in the presidential elections? This is different, no one is supporting the PDP for presidency. The whole of South West is in APC's pocket...watch and see!

papindinho: Don't you guys think APC is susceptible to mass cross-carpetting cos of the presence of yet unrooted calibres of politicians that changed team of recent ?

daylae: well, then i dare your party to come -up with the likes of Atiku and Buhari.

ilugunboy:

At a great risk of going off topic here.

At the bold...I keep hearing this you opinion from your type...mention one thing that is of legacy to this present administration so far? Something ordinary Nigerian can connect with? OBJ revolutionize the telecom industry and a market woman or taxi driver can attest to that.

At a point in our national life....Nigeria was almost completely debt-free.

jmaine:

GEJ won the South west fair and square devoid of all the lies and propaganda to cushion the reality of ACN merited loss.

Those lies were just disseminated to suit the bruised ego of the defunct ACN.

Aigipan: CJones:

What does APC think about true federalism? or is their government still going to be business as usually without giving states more autonomy ??
