globatop: Am surprised at the position of Igbo members on this forum on APC.
Not in this century should we still be playing regional politics, APC is a national party like PDP, Bola Tinubu is just a single individual in that party like any other person. The score card of ACN is better than that of PDP, it is only enemy of progress that will prefer PDP to APC judging from developmental projects going on in southwest states controlled by ACN. My take is, if APC could capture states in other regions, such developmental projects could be replicated all over Nigeria.
Its time to look beyond ethnic background of any political party, rather focus on the pedigree of aspirants, with the performance level in ACN, no governor from APC would want to under perform.
And if u must know, other party has their own vices, don't kill APC because of mere individuals

Bola Tinubu might be a thieve in Ur own view, but he has used his loot to liberate his pple from the clutches of PDP, if your state could contribute to his course, Ur youth will remain in Ur state rather than come to develop southwest and say it is no man's land.

It is time for Igbo nation to change their ethnic sentiment if they will ever produce Nigeria President. Whatever happened between Awolowo and Zik should be history by now, after all Hubert Marcauly was a Yoruba indigene he handed mantel of his party leadership to Zik.

If it is a national party, why zone the presidency to any region? Wouldn't you think the best candidate should run against the pdp? I would.

How many times has a new party been formed in the US or in any of the major democracies in the west? I can't remember personally, if it has ever happened. Pls remind me if u can.

What do we have in our political clime? Any time candidates lose primary/main elections, they form a new party. Can u tell me how many parties Buhari has formed in the last 15 yrs?

Even the great Abraham Lincoln ran countless of times in one party. He wasn't in the business of party floating and undermining the sitting govt. he simply sold his ideals to the people and eventual became one of the greatest presidents, ever.

I, personally admire both Buhari and OBJ, but their time to lead is over. We need new blood.

deb:

The guy just told you the truth but unfortunately it is bitter to swallow. Anyone that joins APC is now your enemy even if they are the ones that will liberate your poverty striken mentality & life put together.

The brain is the source of everything human, once it is rotten there is no hope. Infact you will think everybody is mad when in actual fact you are the only one insane.

This is 2014. If anyone does not realize that voting individual based on compentence superceeds voting a party, except you are a partisan politician, such a person needs to visit Yaba left for brain check up.

Bro, if u base your argument on educational/business intelligence, you may end up voting the wrong person. education & intelligence do not make a man a good candidate.

A good heart that cares for others more, is what is needed. A man for the people and of the people. Someone who loves his people.

Re: Pat Utomi To Run As Delta State Gov In 2015 by Ikengawo: 5:03pm On Jan 04, 2014
APC would gain respect from me by fielding Utomi. He's very passionate about development and will save the APC brand from being 'PDP II' because he's not like most Nigerian politicians. I'm a PDP supporter but men like utomi are needed in vital states like delta

Thats sentimental, its just lyk telling me to say that ahaba(asaba) is more developed than lagos, even when i know its not true...haba, y shud i lie abt my roots we males greet the ladies "amuapa'', while they reciprocate by saying ''oba'', anioma has got a larger landmass, but lesser population compared to the urhobos
VIST this link and check out the populations north(anioma) and central(urhobo) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_State
you are obviously not from Delta state...... from the way you keep trying to validate yourself, OT shows that you are a phoney confusionist. abeg let real deltans talk Boko.

Leadership particularly under democracy is not an easy role because you have to carry others along to buy into your vision and ideas.Governance in Nigeria is not a roller-coaster as there are several people who already benefit from the rot of the system who will want to frustrate your effort if you have clear agenda.its a welcome idea that respected people like Prof.Pat Utomi has come out to add value to the land and help develop the society through clear agenda.

The guy you quoted is right.Sentiments apart the Urhobos are more in population but the Aniomas have more local Government area than them.Apart from Agbor which Anioma town has much population than Ughelli,Sapele or Effurun?Even the so called Asaba is gradually being taken over by the Urhobos in terms of population owing to the mass employment of them during the Ibori era.

Winning on the platform of APC might be difficult, i suggest he contest on the platform of the labour party just like Comrade Oshiomole then he could switch to the APC after he wins.

@Munky, I salute you for being a Nigerian of my dream, most of the Igbo here on naira land closed their eyes to wave of development in other region. The earlier we support credible pple irrespective of their party affiliation, the best for this nation. I will support any party, tribe or individual that can take us to promise land. Jonathan disappointed me, cause I mobile vote for him.

Some people are just acting foolish, there is noting wrong voting a better candidate even if APC is fielding someone better than PDP, its makes it more competitive then gradually we will move to a level where only the best will be presented by both parties not a situation where a failed president feels he is still relevant based on his pre-supposed popularity; we should not condemn any party instead we should look at the candidate they present and vote for them based on merit not sentiment like we did in the last election that we are battling to understand how we got here.

i have no problem with GEJ, but first he needs to fight corruption right from within Aso Rock down to the local government, sell off all the private to a local airline, then travel only with commercial flight, then he will get my vote

Can't you see that Utomi has joined the party of Awolowo the number one enemy of Ndigbo??

@ Dasporan, i beg to disagree with you on the bolded.Rather Asaba is being taken over by people from the other side of the Niger. An estate agent told me the price of property and land has increased astronomically in Asaba and it's environs since Onitsha business men started trooping into Asaba buying lands,uncompleted abandoned buildings, and even erecting new ones at a fast pace.

If Pat Utomi gets up to 50,000 votes, i will be shocked. He is tactless as a person and does not know much about politics.

I hope our people will not waste our chance by presenting that sure loser as a candidate.

as much as would support you in this your very intelligient argument i want to add that its not just having a good mind or being educated, but a man with vision to compliment....... Thats why fashola stands head and shoulder above all other nigerian leaders. His fore sight is super.....
We need visionary leaders in every aspect of our government.

If People like Pat Utomi should be given the opportunity of ruling the country from federal to local government levels, then the much touted vision 20:20 will become a reality. Deltans should give him their maximum support for them to witness an unprecedented transformation. My fear is the possibility of the cabals hijacking the votes for their own selfish interest. However, I wish my able Prof., an economic wizard & a political guru the best of luck come 2015.

Sullivan Iheanacho Chime of Enugu state and his likes who has the interest of the people in their hearts. Even with the small federal allocation coming to the state, he is not greedy with developing the state. About 14years back, Enugu was almost inhabitable but with just 8years of good governance of Barr. Sullivan I. Chime, the state has become a hub of activities.
