Saying pdp should reward the East for their hardwork for the party is a mockery? I am confused.

LKO:


Politics is not one plus one equal two. Atiku contested against Buhari, an incumbent president and a very formidable northern figure. If the APC fields a southern candidate and PDP fields a Kwankwaso or a Tambuwal, would the teeming APC supporters in the north massively vote for APC? A northern friend of mine told me there are no APC supporters in the north, what they have are Buhari supporters. What about the born to rule mentality of the northerners? Interesting time ahead.

Carmit:
PDP IS DEAD.
these guys really destroyed Nigeria. I don't know why they still have supporters.
Nigerians are quick to forget their past!

Jman06:
PDP is a gazillion times better than APC!!!
APC has no respect for rule of law!

APC has no policy direction!

APC plunged Nigerians into poverty!!!

PDP is the only truly national party in Nigeria!

TheShopKeeper:
...sure as daylight...both parties will have northern presidential candidates...the north have the largest voting bloc in nigeria...

bixton:



Everybody is a sell out including you.
But if the PDP decides to field a northern candidate come 2023, then any southerner who decides to campaign in the south will be stoned and they in their States will lose their local elections to alternative parties.

kelvinginzie:


Anambra is south east

Jman06:
Sai Kwankwaso!

NNEWIsuper:

you don't understand it, 4 out of 5 states are already PDP and even Anambra people are pro PDP nationally

kelvinginzie:


Apc members were not stoned in the south when they campaigned against a south south president Jonathan

Jimi24:


A Tambuwal - Wike ticket is what some are hoping for in the PDP. Plenty money to share.

Omoodua007:

I think Abiola defeated a northerner so what’s the hype ?

hollah123:
so pdp will not field an igbo despite your 20 years of hard labour? una Don suffer abeg

ZombieTERROR:


The only way we will allow PDP field Igbo man is if Apc does same...



PDP has already taken 2023.... Buhari and Tinubu will be exposed for fraudsters and thieves they are... And sent to jail

omenka:
It will be a huge demonstration of ingratitude, mistrust, and hatred by pdp if they dont field an Easterner for 2023 given how hard those guys have worked for the party.

Twenty years of diligence, loyalty and obedience is no joke.

ZombieTERROR:


I also think Abiola did it with a United south... And middle belt..

The North stands no chance when those four regions come together

ORIENTATION101:
If pdp like they can make Atiku their life flagbearer for presidential election they won't come back to power.

If pdp want to come back to power they have to break the alliance of northwest and south west region .cos these two zones together have 32 millions eligible voters together.
north East and North Central is a battle ground any day any time .no party can win it landslide.

South West the Economic power of Apc

North west the Political power of Apc

Until their seperation pdp will not come back to power.


Tambuwal, kwankaso cannot outperform atiku cos they don't have the resources ,followership and national appeal.. Tambuwal escape losing his seat with less than 300 votes while kwankaso lost everything .

Halo22:
In my own view, any candidate that is not from the North, is likely not going to win. So if PDP wants to win in 2023, they should just field a northern candidate mustn't be Atiku, and a southern supposedly from South East as the running mate. With that, the political equation will be balanced.

so with all d bushbaby cries of "its our turn", you are suddenly developing cold feet?

Barely two days after the Supreme Court struck out the appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, challenging the emergence of President Muhammadu Buhari as winner of the February 23, 2019 election, agitation for the 2023 presidential ticket has commenced. Credible sources told our correspondent yesterday in Abuja that some power brokers in the party were already planning how to field another candidate in 2023. If pdp of all parties denies the SE their presidential ticket for 2023 then it's finished for them period.

It was gathered that high ranking members of the PDP, including some serving governors were plotting to field a northern candidate in 2023, while some party bigwigs from the South felt cheated by such arrangement and are challenging the move.

A Board of Trustees (BoT) member from the South who spoke with our correspondent on condition of anonymity said: “It is true that some power brokers in the PDP were not comfortable with the emergence of Atiku but we supported him as our candidate.” “So now that our case has been thrown out, there are pockets of agitations regarding which zone should produce the presidential candidate in 2023. “But I think the party also needs to handle this matter with caution because, already, many of our members are likely to jump ship to the APC. I’m also considering that option so I don’t want to comment on the matter anymore,” he said.

But PDP National Publicity Secretary Kola Ologbondiyan told our correspondent yesterday in a telephone chat that the party has not taken a decision on its 2023 presidential ticket. “There is no agitation within the PDP over the 2023 presidential ticket. It’s even too early to talk about 2023, but I can assure you that the future of the PDP is very bright. “We have not even seen the reasons they (Supreme Court) advanced for their judgement. So we have not reached discussion on that yet,” he said.

If you fellas feel you are going to short change Tinubu because there are gossips of him aiming for that position, then majority of us are only biting our fingers.
I hope we can play this game continuously and not cry out. My pity only will be for the ibos.

Do that and every President of Nigeria will be from the north till the country gets her senses back. It will no longer be a popularity election but a population and voting strength.
