so far its been a faceless campaign cox ive never heard the declaration from the horses mouth.

dude should come and mobilize market women,NURTW, NUJ and student associations.
He should stop wasting his precious time at Marriott and Intercontinentals.
The audience there will not vote, are professional critics and will not make the difference.
That is the reason why Tinubu remains the godfather (as corrupt and undemocratic as he is).
If this Duke tactic was a winnable tactic, Jimi Agbaje would have been in the Alausa house and not Fashola.

GBAM .GBOSA, GBOSA.

When the time is right we will publicly declare in Nigeria and get down to the streets and rural areas in Nigeria to seek vote.

We are only consulting with Nigerians worldwide because while they may not have a direct vote, the $1 - £1000 of ordinary Nigerians in the diaspora may make a difference to campaign logistics.

We need wider and alternative means of funding to stay the course.

Ours will be a campaign like never seen before in the Nigerian political terrain.

When he starts, me i will not mind chipping in my widow's mite.
But for now, na siddon look.

I thought his party already zoned the presidency to the three zones in the north or he is planning to dump the party?

Please understand there is a difference between Party Charman postulations and Party policy.

PDP is yet to officially zone anything.

But Donald Duke has said he is looking to contest 2011 elections knowing the existence of this invisible rule. If after consultations he is confident in his chances and strategy he will formally declare. In his words since independence we have had quite a few number of parties and we have a few of them available at the moment.

If PDP decides to shut everyone else who is not a Muslim Northerner out at this time then those who don't agree will make their minds up on what next to do.

99% of the party were not even there when this 'unwritten deal' was made.

Where is the evidence that in 2015 all those trying to exploit this rule will not ditch it after their turn passes.

see a very good response from Barnabas Gemade on zoning issue in 2011

2011: PDP hasn’t decided the zone to produce president –Gemade
From JACOB EDI, Abuja
Monday, March 22, 2010

With the categorical statement by the national chairman of the PDP that the north will produce the presidential candidate of the party in 2011, people have argued that the North central Zone should produce the presidential candidate of the party in 2011. What is your take on this?

As I told you earlier we never produced a time-table on which zone will produce the president. This meant that at every election, the elders would meet and decide. People say the presidency was zoned to the south and Obasanjo served for eight years so the north should also serve eight years. But the issue here now is Umaru Yar’Adua ready to do eight years? If he is not then the onus is on the party to sit down and consider the next line of action. It is therefore not for any body to stand and pronounce that this is what will happen because no individual is a party and no group inside the party can arrogate to itself the full responsibility of deciding on party issues.

Was the pronouncement by the Party Chairman on where the next presidential candidate of the party would come from not done in consultation with the Board of Trustees of the party?

The matter has never been discussed at any BOT meeting an in as much as there was no discussion with any organ of the party, it still remains the opinion of the group that announced it.

slowly but surely people are getting tired of the status quo
