Mr. President said the mind of his hosts. And he knew there is little or no political harm for him for saying that.

Because SW people see him as one of their own.

Jonathan must be wandering what hit him. This is why I rate Ribadu ahead of Buhari even if they are similar in ideology and orientation. Ribadu is modern and current , exposed to best practices worldwide and cognisant of what good Governance should entail in modern democracies . We forget he is the same guy who addressed the American congress and has been involved with many symposiums, interactive sessions and initiative for good Governance worldwide . He might have his issues but , along with donald Duke et al , he is the type of modern and detribalised administrators we badly need. Ribadu is now a world reknowned and respected technocrat . Indeed he is one of the few Nigerians with a reputation that is intact worldwide. If he does not win in April an International Jobs awaits after the election. That is a measure of the man's worth even if some Nigerians want to villify him at home. What awaits the likes of Alao Akala if they are bounced out of political office tomorrow? Yet same Nigerians fighting for an Alao-Akala win have the nerve to call the likes of Fashola a "rascal" . Welcome to Nigeria . The twilight zone.

Dude, get your dumb ass out of this ''worldwide'' rubbish. For you, a Nigerian is not valid unless he is ''respected worldwide'', and has ''addressed the American parliament'' and all that RUBBISH. Take that bullcrap and stick it where the doesn't shine.

Nigerians - leaders and led, are not required to establish their credibility by establishing a ''reputation'' among, or familiarity with, foreign nations and peoples.

You expect a reply? Sorry I don't talk to deranged foul-mouthed folks who rant rabidly like mad dogs. I see you even posted twice obviously in psychotic haste. Abeg get help.

I was hoping for the same but the guy messed up !

Ribadu's first choice is OKonjo-Iweala. They get on very well and they worked productively together in the economic team under OBJ. It might still happen . The talk is that Ugochukwu may be a stop-gap. There is still time to introduce a replacement VP candidate under INEC provision. From what I understand the problem may be with Tinubu not fully sold on Ribadu's choice of Okonjo-Iweala.

who would have believede that the quiet, non-talking president of ours would utter such a statement, ha na wa! they are the same thing, deperate hypocrits. PDP has failed us
GEJ U FUMBLE GAN NI,

GEJ should forget about apologizing to us as it will not change anything. He has already told us where to put our votes.

Our votes go to Buhari/Bakare,

GEJ should come out on facebook or NTA if nepa allow him to, rephrase his comment what he meant by "RASCAL" in SW else his biting the finger that feed him

npn:

I have always said he is an opportunist Chameleon who wants to be all things to all men. He does not particularly have strong convictions about anything and this is borne out by his mediocre career as an administrator that would have died in the doldrums had Alamayesiegha not sought a "meek" deputy and if  , consequently , OBJ had not wanted an "unambitous stay-where-you-are type" VP to yar Adua who would not give our chronically ill ex-President the type of 'wahala' Atiku gave OBJ. All in all, it is now all Nigerians suffering as a result of these impositions. First Yar Adua wasted 3 years. Now only God knows how long GEJ will have to wreak his own havoc .

You've seen nothing yet, wait until he is given a full mandate then the really stupidity in GEJ will manifest.

i'm not disappointed. did not expect any better from GEJ dredges. he is a PDP phidiphi.

only disappointed that these career rascals have ruled for so long, smh
now the only thing they take pride in is being _{the largest party in africa}, imagine!

Poor Ribadu. Working for the drug barron called Tinubu has a way of totally frying and drying the brain cells.  
His a good guy otherwise, but he still wouldn't even be able to deliver his own village (where he'll be Atikued   LOLZ).

This idiot beaf sholud be forever banned from this forum. He is always negative.
Nevertheless, Ribadu is my man.

He is jst waiting to get to d sit of power n even d 2nd term he rejected will come to fruition, what a country!!!

Oh we have only approx. 64000 people  out of over 150 millon , on this site both Home and and
Abroad, WHO are killing their selves on nigerian dirty politics.  Hey Wait a minute
Among all these thieves u are insulting ursElves don't even know
exist. Never u forget that in Nigeria history there is nothing
like election all we have is selection. Break up this country  that is the solution .

Too bad i couldnt register for a voters' card.

I would vote for a camel first before i vote for Goodluck Jonathan!.

The nerves on that guy! Calling the people who managed to make a difference (no matter how minimal) rascals, while the egoistic PDP bastards the 'Rascals' took over from, left their respective states in shame and deeper mess than they met them.

He'll pay a dear price for that unguarded statement.

Sunny Udochukwu is actually a spot holder for now.Ribadu has picked Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as his running mate but Tinubu is against it because "she is too opinionated".However, They have until February 15 to substitute Ugochukwu.

ACN - Auto Cracy Nigeria! Subject yourselves to Primaries.

POTUT:

ACN - Auto Cracy Nigeria! Subject yourselves to Primaries.

Vice presidential primaries right. Are you okay?? It's not compulsory that you have a running mate when contesting the primaries.

As for me its ACN all the way.PDP forget it!

May I say here that Nigeria needs more educated personnel like Mr Nuhu Ribadu, Raji Fashola, proactive persons to steer the affairs of this country!

Not the [b]P[/b]OWER [b]D[/b]RUNK [b]P[/b]EOPLE that have lead us the mess we find ourselves now!

If he picks her, then its GAME OVER FOR GEJ! I know the SW would support her. We need change in this country!!!

GEJ is in kaduna, whether una like am or not,by hook or by crook,GOODLUCK DON WIN, Make una stop to they take drugz for sickness wey dem done cure since whem,

Some funny shyte on this thread! Who is Ribadu again?
Gbawe says he's known Worlwide, BUT he's not even known in his village! Some damn strange shyte on this thread I tell you!

If that is the case, then you shouldn't have anything to worry about. You shouldn't be discussing a man who can't win even in his own village.

Nah! I'm not worried in the least, Buhari is much more a threat than Ribadu will ever be.
In fact, I see Ribadu voting for GEJ on election day. Lolz!

I begggy, Ribuda is only trying to win d hearts of our brothers from south west, unfortunately those kind of childish tricks will yield no gain for him. He is only a small boy looking for ways of gaining south wests' favour.
Let him think of more serious issues. If he has nothing let him go and sit in d grave yard. No reasonable yoruba man will vote Ribadu or Buhari
Rubbish abokis.

Abeg my brother don't mind him. While the likes of Ribadu were always destined for great things mediocre Jonathan was heading into political obscurity if Alams had not been seeking a mediocre and "meek" houseboy-type deputy . When Ribadu gained the job that brought him visibility we saw him distinguish himself. The same for Fashola , Amaechi and others who are natural leaders. What did Jonathan do when he[b] inherited [/b] the Governor position in Bayelsa? Again, what has he done since he stumbled into the position of the most powerful man in Nigeria? This man has had ultimate executive power for a while yet positive achievements are virtually non-existent while his screw-ups are too numerous to list. It is only in Nigeria we can villify achievers while empty barrels are exalted . It is part of what has gotten us where we are today.

that really is the main problem for you is it not? I.e "no aboki is a good aboki" . Not so ?

Some ppl say na ODECHUKWU.
laff will not kill me oooo, hey!.

Err, excuse me where was this same stupid rabble ranting no sense Guy during the PDP misrule? Was he not a major beneficiary to the same government he is pointing fingers at? What happened to the people he found guilty of financial crimes that are still his friends now at the ACN? If Ribadu has an issue with Jonathan, i believe he should address that and not the PDP misrule else he is also guilty of those years of misrule
