www.newspunch.org/asiwaju-tinubu-tipped-for-senate-president-as-apc-leaders-favour-oshiomhole-as-buharis-vp/ Barring any last-minute change, the coast now seems clear for Edo State governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, to emerge as running mate to Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC, as the party rounds off its series of caucus sessions today. Following Buhari’s emergence, the party leaders have been holding closed-door meetings in Lagos, to consider candidates for the vice president slot. A source at one of the meetings said to have held at the Bourdillon residence of the party national leader in Lagos, former Lagos Governor Bola Tinubu, disclosed that the APC had finally resolved to zone the position of Vice President to the South- South region. The top member of the party who craved anonymity, said: “Initially, we wanted to zone the position to the South-West but we also put into consideration, the fact that President Jonathan is from the South-South and it may be unwise to take the Presidency away from the zone under the circumstance.” The source added that two candidates were considered for the position, namely Edo Governor Adams Oshiomhole, and his Rivers counterpart, Rotimi Amaechi. He explained that the party eventually saw the Oshiomhole option as more attractive for about four reasons. “One, he is a former President of the Nigeria Labour Congress and as such, the labour force still see him as their leader. “Two, he is a Christian from the Roman Catholic sect, which accounts for the highest population of Christians in the country. “Again, Oshiomhole is vociferous, vocal and articulate in persuasive prowess, unlike Buhari who is not as such endowed with the gift of the garb. “And above all, Oshiomhole speaks the Hausa language fluently as he grew up in Kaduna where he had his early education.” The source further disclosed that the fact that the current national chairman of the APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun is not only from the South-South but from Edo State as with Oshiomhole, was put into consideration at the Lagos meeting. “We have decided that Odigie-Oyegun should step down for the sake of Oshiomhole and it would seem he is showing understanding on the issue,” he stressed. The source also hinted that the South- West will now be compensated with the position of Senate President by the APC and that Tinubu was preferred for the position. He said the former Lagos governor had been advised to consult with his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, who has already won the Lagos Central Senatorial District’s ticket, to step down and forfeit the ticket to her husband. “For all I know, we are moving on; there will be no rancour over position sharing,” the source assured. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Beer parlor news again! However if it turns out to be true, it is a good choice and one which the Yorubas will be comfortable with. For me, I think it is better than Buhar/Amaechi. 14 Likes |

APC is blessed with the best governors and leaders. Any candidate chosen as the running mate of Buhari is ok by me. We have the best of the best. The Otuoke clueless man must be kicked out in 2015!! Enough is enough!!! 63 Likes 4 Shares |

If Jagaban himself agrees that the position should be zoned to the SS (Edo to be precise), then I say kudos to him. Most people never believed that Jagaban will allow the slot to go to the SS considering the role he (and the entire Yorubas) played in the growth of APC. Since Jagaban was one of the people that said it should be given to Oshiomole, I believe he would also canvass the Yorubas to vote (for) APC. Oshiomole's emergence does not mean he's the most qualified, but because the odds favour him. Fashola would have been a great choice, but that islamization tag on APC and ethno-religious Politics wouldn't allow it work. All in all, this ticket is saleable if true. 9 Likes |

Bennyberry: Nobody loves Rochas like Ndiigbo regardless of state. Rochas was tipped to be an APGA Presidential candidate. He was the second person besides Ojukwu to have that honour. I supported Rochas in APC Presidential race even though i knew it was all about Buhari. Politics is a game of patience and Rochas need to apply this virtue into his desire to succeed, in-other to succeed. I still support Rochas for Gov of Imo State despite his short-comings. 6 Likes |

Or are they going to rules from the Jihadist Republic of Sanbisa Forest? Even, those Sanbisa boy will not allow them because they also has their Commander In-Chief of Sanbisa Forest.
