MichaelSokoto:
A member, Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Ebenezer Babatope, has said that President Goodluck Jonathan will not run for the presidency in 2019.

He explained that the party would shop for a strong Hausa/Fulani candidate to run against the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, in 2019.

Babatope, who is also a member of the party’s elders’ caucus, spoke with our correspondent on Victoria Island, on Wednesday.

He described the outgoing President as a leader, who had done his best in uplifting the nation’s democracy, adding that Nigeria would forever remember Jonathan as a committed leader who kept the nation as one despite several challenges.

He said he was sure that the President would not seek to contest the 2019 presidential election although “the people of the South-South have the right to present a candidate for the election, I’m sure the President will not contest; He will lead us to against the All Progressives Congress.”

He said, “The President has set himself apart as a great Nigerian leader, who is committed to seeing Nigeria blossom into a great democracy. He has laid a solid foundation for the nation’s democracy and he would forever be remembered.”

“The President will not contest the 2019 presidential election. The PDP will look for a strong Hausa/Fulani presidential candidate to contest against Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

“We have a strong presence in the South-South, South-East and we have two governors in the South-West. We are going to slug it out together in the North in 2019. We are going to flush out the APC in 2019 because we are going to correct our mistakes and take back the central government.”

The former Minister of Transport said PDP’s National Executive Council, the BoT and Elders’ Caucus would meet soon in Abuja to assess the outcome of the general elections.

He said, “We are going to restructure our party. The National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, will convene a meeting in two weeks’ time when we will objectively discuss the last elections.

“Apart from the grand conspiracy against our party by the powers that be in the elections, we are going to tackle the problem of imposition, which was a great area of mistake on our side. Crises were recorded across the states over imposition. We are going to guard against this. The APC will, naturally, make its own mistakes and we will capitalise on these.

“It is given in politics that mistakes would occur among the ruling party. We will all see when this begins to happen. We are watching and waiting.”

Would APC have made an Igbo president in the 8yrs if it had gotten massive Igbo vote? NOPE. Cos Buhari will be there for at least 4 years, they Osibanjo might take over and stay for 8 years. So Igbos were promised presidency when they voted OBJ and Yar'dua?

MzJackBaueress:
Is there any hausa/fulani politician who is stronger than General Muhammadu Buhari in terms of popularity and intergrity? I don't think so!

PDP will fail in 2019.

I rather prefer APGA to be the major opposition party than PDP

Intendy:

If Jonathan should agree to contest even if GMB fail woefully then I'll totally agree that oxford dictionary should include jonathan as the synonym of cluelessness

MichaelSokoto:

Confused individual!

annibro:


B4 ba? Not anymore. Obj is now dinning wit d piple dat matter; Asiwaju, GMB et al

obailala:

Then if things change and PDP wins, it would be a confirmation that the SE is just confused. The SE hates Buhari purely because he is a northerner trying to grab power, but the same SE will now align and vote another northerner just to punish Buhari?.... What an anomaly!

Excessive sentiments lead to irrational thinking and actions.

emmasege:
The plan to get a hausa-fulani by PDP to succeed buhari in 2019 is dead on arrival. Babatope, let me lend you my wisdom. Get a northerner of middle-belt (i.e. north central) or north east extraction , preferably from Benue, Plateau, Nasarawa, Taraba or even Adamawa. That is the best way to split the bloc votes of the north; you can be sure that s/south and s/east will most likely vote for the PDP particularly if the candidate is from Plateau or Benue. And I don't see the Yorubas romancing with Buhari's APC for long, the moment he starts acting Arewa's agenda and takes Tinubu and OBJ's hands off the plate, and renders their errand boy (Osinbajo) jobless in Aso rock.

Jorussia:
2019 wen 2015 Nv even finish. PDP may cease to exist before 2019.

Na birthright?
What happened to bringing in other ethnic minorities? Especially those that are yet to enjoy presidency?

CriticalThought:


What do you mean by enjoy presidency, this is not a game, our futures are at stake, let us all work to get the best person to do the job

MichaelSokoto:

I jez hope most of d Ndigbos supportin GEJ all along hopin to take over power can finally see d deceitfulness of d PDP.
PDP iz shoppin 4 hausa-fulani in 2019?
I laff

tuniski:
u see yourself abi! Buhhari defeated GEJ with hausa/fulani votes across the north, is it an igboman that will split the votes of that region?the best bet remains for PDP to get a strong enufff hausa/fulani that can take 30% of the votes from buhari. The rest of the south will settle for the best alternative with SE/SS strongly for PDP. Hausa/fulani and an igbboman VP is the way to go for 2019! Buhari's popularity can only decline from 29/5/2015 . No one goes into political leadership and comes out with higher favourability and popularity than pre assumption of office!

CriticalThought:
APC may hold the presidency till 2031

GMB/Osinbajo - 8years
Fashola/Oshiomole or Rotimi - 8years

MichaelSokoto:

Look at it like dis.
Assuming GEJ won anoda 4 yrs, he handsover to Sambo for 8yrs, after Sambo it must be a yoruba man 4 anoda 8yrs, yoruba man hand over to middle belt or hausa again, how many years don go be dat?
Ehn?
Igbo presidency would have only be possible 30-40 yrs from now, abi

But wit APC now, Igbos might get it in 2023 but..
Unaaaaa fuuuuckoyoooooo

Xfemt:



says who

u be God?

EggovinMma:



Yea I know! Must it always cone from the north?We all know if buhari hadn't won, there would have been brimstone already in every part of the country. If another northerner was in place of buhari, same thing would have happened. It's really hard for them tolerate, we are just trying manage this marriage, because if everyone go crazy the way they are going, nigeria will be burning right now.

Jorussia:
says precedence.Where is APP,ANPP,and AD?
