PDP 2019 Zoning: A Good Step In The Right Direction by TonyeBarcanista(m): 9:41pm On Sep 30, 2015 |
Immediately after the announcement of the Presidential election, I confided in some allies that for PDP to come back in 2019, it must present a candidate from the North. Specifically, the North East. I'm so glad that PDP has zoned the 2019 presidential ticket to the North. This is a testament that the party is ready for business. Why The North? 1. Nigeria has held five presidential election since this 4th republic in 1999. The south was given the PDP's ticket on four occasions; SW(1999 and 2003) and SS (2011 and 2015). The North only had one ticket, which was in 2007(NW). 2. It will be fair and just that the North be allowed to present the PDP presidential candidate in 2019 and 2023 Presidential elections. This will give the the North a sense of belonging and equal partner of the party. PDP beloings to everybody irrespective of religion and region. It is the only party with National Appeal. Preference For The North East: In my opinion, it will be fair and just that the North East be allowed to present the presidential candidate for PDP in 2019. The reason being that the North East is the only region in Nigeria that is yet to produce president of this country. Fortunately for PDP, we have credible chieftain in the person of Mallam Nuhu Ribadu (Adamawa) that has the personality, charisma and credibility to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with incumbent Muhammadu Buhari. We also have Governor Ibrahim Dankwambo of Gombe state. South East Should Produce The Vice Presidential Candidate: For the Vice Presidency of 2019, the South East deserve the slot to compensate for their loyalty to the party. Also considering that of the three regions in the South, only the SE that has not been on the joint Presidential ticket of the PDP since 1999. While the SW produced the presidential candidate in 1999 and 2003, the SS produced presidential candidate in 2011 and 2015, and VP candidate in 2007. Having a candidate from the SE in the 2019 ticket will be correct politically, morally and on the basis of equity. My unflinching support will always rest with a PDP NE/SE Presidential ticket in 2019 and 2023 elections. I believe that come 2019 the PDP will reclaim Aso Rock if we get things right... I believe we shall... PDP Shall Lead Again!!! Power To The People!!! 20 Likes 2 Shares |

tonye I hail u. you see I have preview to a few important people in this country and let me tell you the north especially the core north are not interested in handing power over to the south whether in 2019, 2023 or 2027. They hve two options play the east and the west against each other or create a classic hostage situation where assuming the south unite behind one candidate and the north behind one. they will have 2 more states that the south and more voters than the south. in that case a classic hostage situation comes in place. the south will either have to accept their terms or Bleep off. you think the visit the arewa consultative forum visited buhari after he won the elections was to congratulate him. sorry NO. they sat him down and laid their plan for the next 24 years down and why he is instrumental to achieving that plan. 1 Like |

PDP made the right calculations. Find a good northern candidates who can get a good share of Northern votes,pair him up with a good southern candidate that will guarantee S.S/S.E votes and the few renegade yoruba votes and they are good to go. I am Igbo and i support this move. I have no ill feelings toward the northerners. I hate only those extremists that luckily for me,have packed themselves into APC. I want biafra. But while we seek it,we should use subtle moves like this to pave our way to the ccenter 8 Likes |

PDP got it perfectly right, if they can share or scatter Northern vote while SE and SS are under lock for them, the Vultures in SW can always be Bats as usual sharing theirs. PDP just made a reasonable decision since 16 years 5 Likes |

nedu666:Bros, I hail you you Sir! Believe you me this conspiracy theory wont scale as long as democracy is concerned. I don't care about APC arrangement but I strongly believe that APC will cede their ticket to the South (possibly SW) after Buhari vacates office in 2019. I can also assure you that the 8years North/South rotation in PDP is still in place and the party is determined to pursue it. With such arrangement, such conspiracy won't thrive. 2 Likes |

As soon as Jonathan conceded defeat, I told one of my friends who was a federal minister then that since the panacea for peace in Nigeria was for a northerner to be in power, the Pdp should go back to the drawing table and shop for a credible northern candidate for 2019. Tonye you are a realist. Some slowpokes were narrowing it down to the Igbos been schemed out of the political calculations, they even arrogated to Buhari a cult following in the north second to none, forgetting that the Dinho with his so called cult following (alimajiri) had tried 3times without success until help came from outside . We stood by PDP because we believe in PDP! We know where we made mistakes and we have learned our lessons. Loosing to the Apc was optional and we opted for it! The time lapse was needed to avail us Space to clear our heads. Apc since their victory has ruled as an opposition because they know their victory was just a flash in the pan as PDP remained the only true democratic party with a national outlook and spread! Good one Mr Op! 8 Likes |

PDP did not decide to zone the position to the north. they were convinced by the top guys in the north to do so for a simple reason, head or tail the north wins, APC or PDP the north wins, 2019, 202, 2027 the North wins. The north are like americans when it comes to planning for power they go both short and long term. 5 Likes |

THE ACTING CHAIRMAN OF THE PDP CAN BUDGE TO PUBLIC OPINION, FOR NOW, BUT WHEN THE HOUR COMES, THE PARTY WILL MAKE THE APPROPRIATE MOVES, WHICH WILL BE TAILORED TO THE SCENARIOS AND EVENTS OF 2017, THAT'S IF THE APC WILL REMAIN IN POWER TILL THEN. I BELIEVE THE PDP WILL PRESENT EITHER NOI, AKPABIO OR MIMIKO AS ITS FLAGBEARER FOR THE ELECTIONS. THE NORTHERN GERRYMANDERING EFFECT WILL HOLD NO WATER IN THE NEXT ELECTIONS. |

I tut you guys were shouting north with 'born to rule' mentality? That you are not slaves to the north? That the north population is over hyped? So una willingly carry the ticket to north now abi? Well it will interest you to know that no politician born of a woman can stand Buhari popularity in the north. Go against him your political career is dead ask nuhu ribadu n niger, kebbi govs. Many unknown politician rode on his popularity to win election and become who they are today. Some PDP candidate in 2015 even used buhari picture in their campaign posters as seen on nairaland. Bauchi gov Isa Yuguda was denied PDP ticket by former PDP chairman Adamu muazu,he decamped to anpp won the gov election n decamped back to PDP.what happened to him when GEJ visited Bauchi.he was stoned n shouted at on campaign ground.where is he today?

TonyeBarcanista: buhari will not vacate office in 2019. he will run quote me, should he decide to do so a northern will pick up the ticket. the zoining to the north by pdp has nothing to do with 2019. but 2023. this is no conspiracy theory. this is real life scheming. the plan is simple ensure two major parties exist, ensure both parties are controlled by the north. the purpose toward keeping power by all means possible including giving any southerner that may stand in their way the ironsi treatment. those people are long term planners 4 Likes |

Lol Nice PDP a northern candidate will be cool for 2019 even tho we all know we can't win then if Buhari is re-contesting.. 2019 APC will get more votes than they did in 2015 especially with ministers from every state in the federation under APC.. Imagine a Donald Duke in the federal cabinet! you don't expect the 10k votes gotten by APC in crossriver in 2015 to remain the same figure in 2019 with the likes of Ita Enang, Ndoma Egba with more and more South South and South East politicians jumping into the APC ship... In 2019 Nigeria might even have 3 major parties... But if Tinubu still stands behind Buhari let's forget 2019 and plan for 2023... With an Igbo VP in PDP I doubt if ijaws, Itsekiri,Isoko,Ogoni,Aondoni,Ibibio,Efik, Benin will give an Igbo Vice President 100% loyalty the way Igbos did for Jonathan I doubt this!!!!!!!!!! 29 Likes 1 Share |

frankyychiji:Well put! The mistake APC is making is that they forget that electoral victory is NOT conquest because it comes every 4years. If we are to be fair, we'll agree that PDP went against their gentleman agreement between the North and the South TWO times. We got away with it in 2011 but paid for it HEAVILY in 2015. The recommendate of Ekeremadu's committee (which will be accepted anyway) is the proper thing for PDP to do. I understand that the SE also yearn for the Presidency but I believe that they will also understand the major N/S divide and how things are shared. VP slot is a worthy compensation for the South East region. I'm sure that Igbos in their numbers will back the ticket. I also believe that a section of the SW will back the ticket 2 Likes |
