NIgerian politics, wat a game,
it's a pity we have the calibre of players going their thing the way they do- without a conscience, totally unchecked!!!
how can we explain the charade that went on at eagle square, that thing they call PDP convention where umar yar'adua emerged as their flag bearer,
we saw the show of shame, the cowardice exhibited by the governors, Does it mean non of them can standand call obj's bluff? must that man have his way all the time, courage, vision, sense of direction are qualities ofa good leader, The PDP governors have shown that they are all bankrupt in all these,
What of the billions spent on their campaigns? Take peter Odili for instance, how bout all those consultation visits? billions spent on "blessing" the"stakeholders" airing them on AIT, accommodation etc like wise the other governors
someone might say it's party's decison to zone it to the north, must the party take this long to arrive at such decision knowing fully well that it's tax payer's money, PDP's evil they do not mean well for Nigeria
These governorsmay have been foooled that all efcc cases hangingon their necks will be killed. BIG LIE. have they forgotten so soon, The Egbon of Ota is a very vindictive fellow, He cannot be trusted, Even some pro-third term senators lost in their bid to pick the party's senatorial ticket. most of them are on their way to jail because obasanjo would like any rival in his quest to be the ultimate godfather in nigeria, After amassing so much wealth they will surely be threats to his infamous plan.
My Governor james Ibori is the worst culprit check this out;;







Competent party source disclosed to Sunday Tribune that the Governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori, was the major political figure from the South-South geo political zone who majorly bankrolled the candidature of the Katsina State governor for the highest seat in the land.


"Sunday Tribune reliably learnt that, Ibori, who had, in the latter part of his second term in office fallen out of favour with the Presidency, was said to have personally impressed it upon President Olusegun Obasanjo that he would ensure that the president’s choice emerged as the party’s flagbearer in the 2007 primaries, only if to curry the favour of the President, and starve-off presidential offensive against him.


According to a source, who confided in Sunday Tribune on condition of anonymity, Governor Ibori bankrolled the presidential aspiration of the Katsina State governor, the moment signals were clear that Obasanjo and the leadership of the party had settled for the taciturn governor.


It was also gathered that, before the commencement of the national convention, Governor Ibori and his Edo State counterpart, Lucky Igbinedion, had arrived Abuja almost a week before the December 16 convention to prepare grounds for the emergence of the Katsina State governor as the party’s candidate"


As for the candidate Yar'dua himself, it was so evident that he was forced into the race, the man lacks the mien, charisma and i think the cerebral capacity to become the next president, I weep for Nigeria because Nigeria's development and need for Quality leadership has been sacrificed for selfishe political gains, We'ld miss youthfulness and cerebral capcity of donald duke, the large and focused leadership of mohammed makarfi, the passion of jery gana etc



I salut the bravery and courage of the other contestants, buba marwa, okorocha, gane,ukiwe, akhigbe, They made a strong statement by their action. They refused to be intimdated.
Okorocha really impressed me, coming second decamping to PDP under 2 wks and coming next to yara'dua even wit the likes of gusau marwa and co,
please does anyone know wat this okorocha guy does? he must be really rich, which companies does he own?
