Gbawe: Nobody is seeing anyone as a villain. It's hypocritical to call yourself a nationalistic party when you're technically depriving other zones from seeing themselves as a part of the party. |

ekt_bear: Man mi, don't mind these folks. Aregbesola, a Yoruba man, delivered for Ribadu . How did Ribadu do under the Northern ACN chapter that consist of individual who collect money yet fail to understand that grassroot mobilisation must be carried out fastidously? Which teacher will endorse the promotion of a students who failed exams woefully? The likes of Bafawara bring nothing to the table. The ACN should simply learn from past mistakes and refrain from associating with the likes of Bafawara. Buhari, IMO, is worth 100,000. 00 Bafawaras. The ACN , if serious about deposing the PDP, should reach out to Buhari and the CPC starting now. |

afam4eva: Is that what is going on here or have you just decided to believe that Bafawara and co are genuinely disenfranchised because that sits better with your convictions about the ACN? You write like a fairly decent chap so it puzzles me you choose to believe the utterances of some of the most parasitic and duplicitous politicians in Nigeria. These guys failed woefully to sell the ACN brand in the North. The onus is on them[b] entirely[/b] to build and develop the Party in their region into a successful franchise. They must source their own structures and linkages because , if passionate about public office, they will be the direct [/b]beneficiary of ACN's success in the North. A Yoruba man will not lead Kano. Study the birth of the ACN to understand that Tinubu actually succeeded , more than the founding fathers from [b]various regions, to develop the SW franchise of the ACN into a serious force , to the extent some can now talk of "Yoruba Party", because he persevered while AGIPs (like Bafawara and Atiku) use anything/anyone that gets them close to the 'cake'. We may not have this poor Government in place today If others had shown the same steadfastness, longevity and enduring belief in the ACN, as a veritable platform, as Tinubu. Atiku, for example, p.ro.stituted himself everywhere desperately. Yet those who showed the patience to develop a brand (ACN) convened by Nigerians from all walks of life are now accused of bigotry, fascism, etc. Pray tell me what we should blame other founding fathers of the ACN for as per the lack of conviction to develop the Party in their own region? Why can't Bafawara , in the North, do what Tinubu has done in the SW? For Bafawara et al to now talk as if the Party owes them something ,merely because of membership, is astounding. It betrays the indolent "centre must pay" mentality of some Northerners that sees them , to date, unable to develop widely accepted and competitive newspapers, banks, etc as well as has been done in the South. I will never support such indolence. If these guys genuinely pulled their weight, then they may have a case. As things are , given all we have seen, they just sound like disgruntled elements too used to a corrupt centre subsidizing their existence while they fail to pull their weight. |

The ACN has got chance to survive the Pdp cos they have base and that's what politics is all about,I don't know pdp's base.They need to Perform,the AD didn't perform to expectation and that's why 'igboro didnt daru' when Obasanjo rigged them out. We saw what happened in Ekiti during the rerun, they(pdp) were matched gun for gun,thugs for thugs,with 10000 police the Rec still ran away.Acn should consolidate in the west and see others crawl to invite them to help them out. all this bigotry noise is just flipping soggybeans and does not really get to me sha, those who are quick at shouting /mention bigotry tend to be closet bigot who either met their match or feel outsmarted(complex). Right now acn will go into any election with [b]potentially 7 states [/b]in the kitty.Sw+kwara will fall in any free election,now that's a political party. I think the biggest mistake the acn made was letting of guard for the pdp, Buhari was just the best option for the party but look at what we are left with, an utterly clueless president with politically naive nannies. ![]() |

johnie: We all heard and saw this, but this time around, it's going to be different, hence the reason for 1 year to figure that out. this year's own was not handled on time, hence the reason alot of things got into way and also distractions and divisions from PDP. |
Re: Northern Acn Moves To Split Party by Beaf: 7:16pm On Nov 22, 2011 |
Gbawe: Not Yoruba folks, but ACN. If you keep on referring to Yoruba folks in place of ACN, then you are very firmly justifying the fears of the Middle Belters and core-Northerners. Ethnic bigotry is ACN's policy, not a Yoruba policy. ACN is separate from Yoruba, however the fact that you see them as one and the same is a definite consequence of ACN's fascist principles that preach sectionalism and weild ethnic bigotry as a primevial campaign strategy. |
Re: Northern Acn Moves To Split Party by lagcity(m): 7:31pm On Nov 22, 2011 |
Let Bafarawa and co deliver something. They haven't delivered for ACN. I believe Tinubu and ACN leaders are smart and strategic; they'll handle this problem. But first, ACN is getting ready for battle in Kogi. We'll see ![]() |
Re: Northern Acn Moves To Split Party by lagcity(m): 7:33pm On Nov 22, 2011 |
Look at this Sani Shaaban from Kaduna. He jumps from party to party; went from ANPP to CPC to ACN. Are these the candidates ACN is supposed to invest in? [flash=500,400] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvBhwprilqw[/flash] |
Re: Northern Acn Moves To Split Party by Gbawe: 7:42pm On Nov 22, 2011 |
lagcity: This is the crux of the matter. They gave very poor value for money during the last election and, to me, they are simply jumping before they are pushed out to be replaced by others. In Nigeria, how useful are Party members who cannot deliver votes yet demand to be maintained expensively? |
Re: Northern Acn Moves To Split Party by lagcity(m): 7:54pm On Nov 22, 2011 |
^^^^^ e tire me ooo. |
Re: Northern Acn Moves To Split Party by anonimi: 8:31pm On Nov 22, 2011 |
lagcity: Just like Amosun, Tinubu's satellite chief for Ogun state. There are others like him who are elected now on ACN's platform. I have said it and will say it again Tinubu's ACN is no different from PDP. Except that PDP is run by a group of greedy ex-soldiers and their civilian recruits with national spread. However PDP cannot be bothered about propaganda and media spins of mediocre (average) performance as excellent while taxing the poor masses more to make glossy projects for the elite. To that extent ACN is the smart cousin of PDP. Tinubu's gang will find it difficult to be a national party as long as one man is playing king over everyone. |

The funny thing here is that practically every comment here is absolutely true. We only need to read through over again and to infer the magnitude and direction of politicking to come. This is one massive stress test and from what is happening so far it is becoming clear that to restrict politiking and parties to personalities instead of institution building is to restrict oneself from wider leadership. I think democracy is actually working. It has a way of keeping the Nigerian question in sharp focus. No papering of cracks here. |
Re: Northern Acn Moves To Split Party by anonimi: 10:24pm On Nov 22, 2011 |
anonimi: Just in case some people need to rejig their memories about Amosun's recent political trajectory, you can read the extract hereunder: It would be recalled that Sen. Amosun got into the consciousness of the people when he contested for the Ogun Central Senatorial district in 2003 against the then incumbent Senator Femi Okurounmu of the Alliance for Democracy (AD). |
Re: Northern Acn Moves To Split Party by Beaf: 10:32pm On Nov 22, 2011 |
^ Gaddem! ![]() Amosun has done AD, PDP, ANPP and now ACN! lol! |
Re: Northern Acn Moves To Split Party by lagcity(m): 8:30am On Nov 23, 2011 |
Beaf: where did you see him as AD member? bros, u r getting old oo. u need glasses. |
Re: Northern Acn Moves To Split Party by Akanbiedu(m): 9:57am On Nov 23, 2011 |
Gbawe: succintly put. Their orientation needs to change, seriously. |
Re: Northern Acn Moves To Split Party by Akanbiedu(m): 10:10am On Nov 23, 2011 |
What they are saying is that ACN is not paying much attention to their side- as in supporting them financially. But they need to understand that ACN, as against PDP, has limited resources to prosecute its agenda on a national scale at this time. So it's better for ACN to consolidate its strongholds first before expanding gradually to feasible states like Kwara, Benue, Kogi, Anambra(doubtful) and Akwa Ibom. If ACN manages to capture these states, then a nationwide offensive may be possible. |
Re: Northern Acn Moves To Split Party by Baawaa(m): 10:19am On Nov 23, 2011 |
I think the biggest mistake the acn made was letting of guard for the pdp, Buhari was just the best option for the party but look at what we are left with, an utterly clueless president with politically naive nannies. Angry You have spoken very well,but Tinubu and co will not let Buhari become our president because he will be an obstacle to them.As a matter of fact Tinubu prefer the way Jonathan is ruling the country.If tinubu and co come out and saying all sought of rubbish about jonathan is just formality |
Re: Northern Acn Moves To Split Party by Ufeolorun(m): 12:51pm On Nov 23, 2011 |
Baawaa: He was just the only sane option for Nigeria (buhari).We have a party that has saddled this country with mindless disrespect for common sense politics and we had a chance to actually squeeze life out of it or put it on llife support. I was disappointed in Acn. to be honest though a buoyant Cpc may not be in the interest of Acn or let me say in the interest of Tinubu .(Tunde Bakare as VP of Nigeria will bury Bola Tinubu politically in the southwest,fact!). |
Re: Northern Acn Moves To Split Party by Gbawe: 1:18pm On Nov 23, 2011 |
Ufeolorun: Why are you not "disappointed" with the CPC also? It is thinking like this that ensured the merger failed. I.e the notion that the ACN is at fault for not getting out of the way and compromising 100% for the CPC as if the latter has some divine right to lead Nigeria. If CPC cannot put in the compromises and politics required then perhaps they are not ready to lead anyone. If you followed the failure of the merger, it is clear both sides felt they could not meet in the middle and everyone , painful as it is, should accept that. This pious and sanctimonious desire to proclaim the ACN as being the side at fault is the problem I had with CPC and Buhari fans in the past. There is a political process in place the CPC must learn to excel at before the Party and its fan begin to get imperial notions that others should automatically get out of the way. That mentality is not indicative of democracy . It is authoritarian and arrogant. Approaching a negotiation table with that attitude means you are unlikely to get what you want. |
