I agree with you 100%

However, what is that thing "we will scatter" if APC pick Northerner?

If we had the balls everything should already have scattered when fulani herdsmen were violating our ancestral lands, tormenting our women and laying siege and burning our villages, with federal govt giving them protection. If it didn't scatter then....when?

See, Atiku just robbed Southerners two days ago and stole our turn on the rotation, was there any outrage? Some Southern Govs already looking for him to pick them as VP. IMAGINE!!!

APC saw it. Their interpretation of it would be you can do the worst to Southerner and instead of showing rage he will still come begging North for forgiveness. What stops them from also picking North, afterall our leaders will go up North and beg for VP position.

Eventually, like you said, President and VP will be North/North, muslim/muslim.


So help me understand what we are going to scatter if this dreadful and ominous fear come true.


Ive been preaching an end to Nigeria for same fear you expressed. Let Tinubu go rule Yoruba, Obi go rule Biafra, Atiku go rule Arewa.

Shooyie:
It's Prof Yemi Osinbajo. The man is intelligent and well respected.

ZombieSlaughter:


How can you be preaching dissolution when you as a yoruba attack the very people (IPOB) who would give everything to have it done today, not even tommorow? No be juju be that?

MetaPhysical:
Let's think about what APC must do to defeat Atiku.

1. Highlight his theft and looting of treasury
2. Highlight corruption & criminal indictment abroad.
3. His lack of leadership in position of Executive power.
4. Atiku's controversial family background.

In contrast, APC will bring someone that is clean and free of these flaws so they cannot be accused of pot calling kettle black.

Who among the APC candidates above has a crime-free record, never looted public treasury, his root and lineage and birth record is identifiable and taint free, has demonstrated strong leadership in public service, is acceptable and welcomed in the six regions of the nation and can unite the country?

Corporate2020:
Tinubu has said there will be no consensus, but outright Primary. Anything short of that we not pass. If not, APC will have no candidate. Buhari does not own the party. Buhari and Tinubu have equal stake at the party, so Buhari cannot unilaterally pick another failure like himself to fly the party ticket.

We are ready to fight dirty, and we mean it, so be prepared.

MetaPhysical:


No, Never. Lawan is not clean.

Buhari wants someone that will not get hit with the ricochet when they shoot at Atiku.

pacificom:
Buhari is vividly convinced in a particular candidate and is ready to remove his Agbada and roll his cuff to campaign tiredlessly all over the nation to ensure that such individual emerge under the flagship of APC as the next president of Nigeria.

MetaPhysical:


True. Buhari gave plenty hints in that speech to the governors.

Remove from that list anyone that has ever embezzled or carry allegations of embezzlement.

Erase names with indictments in their past. Erase people with questionable citizenship. Erase people with weak leadership in position of power.

Remove names who are not popular in all six or have support deficit in any two out of the six regions.

Reality3080:
many of them don’t know inec stand on consensus

They don’t understand that consensus can only be possible if all aspirants append their signature

The questions is can all 24 candidates sign to drop their ambition for 1 person?

Will u force them to sign?

Once apc tow that path I can tell u they will scatter b4 December n court case will tear them apart n people will openly engage in anti party activities n decamp which will give pdp d win

N once that happens,the aggrieved members that have moved to pdp will do everything to probe buhari government n I can assure u that buhari doesn’t want what will open his yansh

Consultville:


Buhari and Tinubu equal stake in today's APC
The Governors will listen to Buhari twice before giving Tinubu attention.

Consultville:


Please check Buhari votes against GEJ in 2011

Randerl:



Then who.

Dont tell me Ogbonnaya Onu.

@donphilopus say something.

Consultville:


Consensus doesn't mean there won't be primary or there won't be aggrieved person(s) who will still go on to the Primary

Gozac:

It's foolhardy for one to believe that PMB will not be involved in who ever succeeds him .Just as the governors chose their successors, PMB will surely choose his successor. After all what's good for the goose is also good for the gander.
SW people are postulating the person to be Osibanjo, others Lawan, but to me Amaechi is his preferred candidate for now
Infants on this forum oya begin to abuse and call me names

donphilopus:


That one would be defeated by Atiku latest 10am.

SledgeHammerer:



The way and manner Buhari goes about his choice candidate may make or mar the Apc. He must be very careful not to destroy the fragile Apc. The cracks have started emanating already from the NWC.

The president should know that Nigerians have scored him F9 in governance and they have a formidable opponent in Atiku. Buhari has technically killed the APC with his woeful performance in office. He should thread carefully.

Reality3080:
A consensus at this delicate period will bury apc officially n that’s why buhari is extra careful

Even without consensus in oyo apc primary d losers have decamped cos they sense foul play n it’s obvious only teslim can’t hold makinde

If people can decamp cos of foul play what do u think will happen in consensus?

Wike is just in pdp cos he n Amaechi can’t b in same party cos of d legendary enmity or else with what they did to him he will have decamped

SledgeHammerer:



Absolutely you're correct. It's such a dicey situation that requires wisdom to navigate otherwise you kill the party. My advice to him is to probe down the numbers to 4or5 and allow them go through a free and fair primary. We know the serious ones already. Majority of them bought forms and went to sit at home.

Amaechi
Osinbajo
Tinubu
Fayemi
Lawan

These are the ones that look serious to me, others are just jesters.

As for Oyo State I think Makinde has been reelected already with teslim and adelabu splitting the APC it's over for the Apc in Oyo.

MetaPhysical:


He was not popular in three regions. Tinubu gave him popularity. He will payback by selecting Tinubu as consensus. If he fails to then he has committed an act of betrayal.

However, since Atiku is in play, APC must not pick someone like Atiku, so they can have plenty leverage to attack and bombard Atiku with negative tv commercials and ads. Tinubu is no different than Atiku, except that Tinubu is stronger in leadership and execution whereas Atiku is weak and lax. So generally they cannot throw shit at Atiku without it rubbing off on Tinubu.
