Hon.Ekwunife, Member House of Reps from Anambra state has done that already when she contested against Mr.Obi second tenure and she pulled crowd, she won d Gubernatorial ticket of PPA and she contested under the party, she came second or third in the state Governorship election.

go and study ur history first,an Anambra Woman under Apga has Achieved that Already.

in the eye of the law,dame vigil etiaba was never governor of anambra as the impeachment of peter obi was declared null and void.so if the senator from taraba wins,she will be the first female governor in nigeria

Ok, we still dey wait

CFCfan:

If the judgement did not specifically declare that her tenure was null and void, then you have a point. But if there was no such declaration, then she should still be referred to as the first female governor.
Remember that Ngige is still referred to as a former governor, despite a tribunal ruling that he wasn't the actual winner of the election.

ngige isnt recognized as former governor by the law.journalists might address him as such,but a good case in point is segun oni.immediately fayemi was sworn in,all reference from segun oni was deleted from all records in ekiti state.his potrait was removed from among those of past governors and he wasnt entitled to the pension paid to former governors in the state.just like celestine omehia and osunbor in edo

Alezy:
i love this, he can give PDP a good fight. The sitting gov has done nothing for eight years.

This guy lost the delta central senatorial bye-election earlier this year to PDP. I don't see him as a treat to them in the governorship race. Moreover, he is not too known within the state.

watching the live counting of the Lagos state APC primary election now in tvc.


it's be Ambode leading by miles ,followed by hamzat and ikuforiji tailing them at 3rd position so far.

Nice. The Feb 28th battle between him and Shagari will be one to watch.

There's no battle. Sokoto is APC.

It was because of their likeness for Wammako that they voted PDP in 2007. In fact, Wammako was ANPP and was the governor in waiting. The old fox, President Obj, had to plead with him to join PDP and automatically gave him ticket, and relegated their already decided flgabearer, Shagari, to running mate, just because of the popularity of Wammako.

Same Wammako is in APC today backing Tambuwal.

Plus, the manner PDP "victimized" Tambuwal will curry him great sympathy in Sokoto

It's a one-horse rac. I'm very familiar with their politics. I had service year extension in the state for dabbling into their politics during my NYSC year. I have been on phone with Shagari. Wammako knows me till today as the "article boy".

Who is Imo state APC guber flag bearer?

Don't tell me that they are waiting for the outcome of the APC Presidential primary.

Imo state case should not be different, since other state did not wait for the outcome of the APC presidential primary.

If they have no candidiate in Imo state, I think Berem of all people should be given the opportunity.

She is a die hard fan of APC in Imo state... My observation though.

Wow! You're really connected. I guess I can now refer to Tambuwal as the next governor of the great State of Sokoto....
