I thought this guy was retired from Politics at 85, probably his football age, still cross carpeting.
The APC shouldn't trust this guy

macpetrus:
PDP waste product

barcanista:
I totally condemn this Barnabas Gamade candidacy. This man has been a flop in the Senate, he was pdp top boss, he was fully part of the rot. He's no way a progressive. APC should not allow aggrieved pdp to come from nowhere and hijack the party. This is madness, I totally condemn it and I wish his epic fail

PassingShot:





Even though I know it's not the right thing for APC to continue accepting all these old cargoes from PDP, it is surely one of the ways they can capture the presidency from PDP. And once that is finally achieved, they can start normalizing things.

So, any decamping that can rescue Nigeria from the grip of PDPigssss is welcomed.

who are the pdp? In kwara state for instance, Saraki and Balgore did a swap. Saraki was pdp, Balgore was AC/APC. Today, Saraki will say PDP has faile(which he was). My point is that defectors should nt be given party structure, they can be used as a catalyst to return buhari to power. Why I am hopeful of APC is because of people like Buhari, Fashola, Amosun, Ajimobi, Kwankwaso, Ogbonaya Onu and few others. I like Tinubu's political sagacity and his chunning out of performers plus his sincerity with his aides and followers though.

Remember before the coming of APC, Nigeria was more or less a one party State inhabiting but the good and the Bad! So if APC as a platform can separate and segregate them, the better for Nigerians! It might not look good initially because of the way politics is crudely played in Nigeria, but given time, the results will be good for us!

NgeneUkwenu:

If APC is serious about winning Benue State, this the kind of "evil" they need! Grassroot politician to the core! No time for Campaign!
We need to defeat jonathan in the first ballot! I don't need any rerun!

barcanista:
let's say NgeneUkwenu is a member of APC with Governorship ambition for the past 2 years, barcanista on the other hand is a member of pdp, a Senator from same state with a governorship ambition. Because barcanista fell out with the PDP incumbent, he decamps to APC and was given the ticket in less than 3days of defection at the expense of those already there including Ngeneukwenu. How will NgeneUkwenu and her supporters feel? We need to learn from PDP and Tinubu. Situation 2:
Ribadu was very popular in Adamawa(and still is) as an APC Chief, he was at pole position to win the APC guber ticket in the botched by-election and he was the overall leading aspirant. he defected to PDP on a promise that he'll be allowed to contest, rather than give him the ticket for the by-election, the PDp proposed 2015 for him. He aligned with the promise and now he's the candidate of PDP. Do you think that party members will be aggrieved by his choice? Compare the scenaro with APC in most states (except and few others).

barcanista:
this strategy has its own repercursion because by so doing, loyal members of your party becomes aggrieved, may defect to the other party as they feel betrayed or may remain in the party and work against the party's candidate in the election. When you sacrifice the interest of loyal members for defected newcomers you create an atmossphere of distrust and political uncertainty for the members and it boomerang

NgeneUkwenu:


Noted! Has any of senatorial candidates complained of being cheated out? APC must have noted that they have weak candidates in those areas and needed to up the game at least to have a strong field agents who will stay and prevent PDP from rigging the polls, knowing very well that pdp relies on rigging to win Lagos! That was what cost Buhari the last time! No field agents, no strong candidate outside North West, and the PDP had a field day! Note the key word STRATEGY!

Gemade will never allow the PDP to rig in his senatorial Zone as it will adversely affect his chances though!

Sorry am in a meeting now! Later sir!

barcanista:
silence of people doesn't necessarily mean agreement or endorsement. If a party isn't strng in the grassroot, it will play second fiddle to rigging regime. I always insist that Senators and Reps(Abuja Politicians) are usually overrated when it comes to grassroot mobilisation. A Governor has Council chairmen, Councillors, commissioners, SSAs, SAs and other loyal affiliates. These men at most times control the political machinery in the State. If they want to rig, they know how to do it. The only people to challenge them are individuals with very strong grassroot followings or the consensus of the people. If anyone will defeat Suswam in the Senatoral contest it won't be Germade, because he has equally failed the people, hence, he may not have the people's support. A neutral candidate with connectivity at the grassroot should be fine. Anyway, I'm only expressing my own sentiment.

NgeneUkwenu:


Just do SWOT analysis there and your good! APC did it with the defected governors and now they are reaping the gains in terms of mobilization!

torkaka:


. . . . . .by the bolded you know little about Benue politics . . . . . . . . .Gemade is not a politician really loved outside his Konshisha spere of influence . . . . . . . . . .as a matter of fact, the original APC candidate (Ayabam) has a cult like following in Benue, no one speaks ill of him, but he is a first time politician . . . . . . .however, giving the zone A people an option of Gemade or Suswam is a no brainer . . . . . . . . . . . .you will need to put a gun to their heads for Suswam to be voted.

KelvinGraphics:
Sen Barcanista. I hail o

Suswam and Gemade are twins, both of them are thieves

You can now see that APC is indeed a DUMP SITE!
