Go and make reasonable money or a steady source of income, so people will take you serious. Your stand always wavers as to the direction of where your next meal will come from. That's not a good sign. You switch parties and dump candidates at will

TonyeBarcanista:

Markafi will floor Buhari in the Northwest, the only state that Buhari can win against an aspirant like Makarfi is Kano and the margin will be very little...

Buhari has lost goodwill that he hitherto enjoyed. He's no more Mai Gaskyya

Makarfi is a light weight..... No match atall

TonyeBarcanista:
Though he is yet to officially declare for the race, I make bold to say that he is the ONLY one that will be HIGHLY accepted by Nigerians irrespective of religion and ethnicity.

s OP, for being the first to comment on your own post, I have a reason to believe that you have not said all the truth about your man you have worked so hard to force down our throat.

What do you want to tell us about Markarfi of PDP esp after he had been governor during the corrupt OBJ regime. Senator twice and has refused to give way. Is he the only Nigerian

Rubbish post!

I really wish Nairaland had a block button, pro Buhari people irritate me a lot.

papoudaupolos:

Tonye I really don't want PDP to deceive themselves with statement like this.
People like me can vote PDP candidate.
But so far I'm voting 4 PMB.
Jus trying to give you the pic of Northern voter

@tonyebarcanista

It is not a debate that Nigerians are fed up with the present administration of Muhammadu Buhari, the debate on the lips of many is, who among those vying for the office is worthy enough to earn the trust and vote of Nigerians for the top job.

Having taken time to analyse all the aspirants from the major opposition, the Peoples Democratic Party, it is in my humble belief that His Excellency, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, the immediate past National Chairman of the party and former Governor of Kaduna state is the most credible alternative for the Presidency and the most sellable candidate among the multitude vying for the seat. The reasons? Read on;

Makarfi As Governor Of Kaduna State
Among the governors that had served Kaduna state, Ahmed Makarfi is the only person that is considered acceptable by all segment of the population. Though a Fulani Muslim, he is loved so much by the non-Fulani Christians of southern Kaduna, this is beside the fact that the Fulani Muslim population in zones 1&2 see him as a man after their heart. Makarfi is seen as a bridge-builder and nationalist that carried every group along in terms of development of the state and appointment when he held sway as Governor. 

During his time as governor of Kaduna state between 1999-2007, institutions were built, road constructed, and peace and tranquility was maintained all through his time. Even when there was religious crisis as a result of the proposed Shari'a bill in 2000, Makarfi stepped in, suspended the bill and brought every stakeholders to the table to which a partial Shari'a bill (to be binding on only those that subject themselves to it)was agreed on by all parties, which restored peace to the state.

Makarfi popularity in Kaduna state grew so large that the General Buhari whirlwind of 2003 that swept Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano state could not be enough to sack him and install Alhaji Sulaiman Hunkuyi despite the fact that Buhari was highly popular in Kaduna state and his ANPP had defeated PDP's Chief Obasanjo in the Presidential election result from Kaduna state. Upon conclusion of Makarfi's term in office as governor, a lot of Nigerians prevailed on him to aspire for Presidency to succeed then outgoing president Chief Obasanjo in other to replicate Kaduna success in Nigeria, being that Kaduna is considered a mini-Nigeria.

Proven Integrity And Transparency
Having served as two term Governor, two term Senator and Chairman of PDP for almost 2 years, no indictment of graft or financial misappropriation has he found himself. 

Despite the fact that majority of his colleagues of class 1999-2007 Governors became guests of various Economic and Financial Crimes Commission offices and courts, while some are in the news for negative reasons, Senator Ahmed Makarfi maintained a clean bill of health and never had cause to explain any misconduct to a judge, investigator, prosecutor or journalist with respect to his integrity.

The Most Experienced And Most Prepared For The Job
I make bold to say that of all those aspiring for the 2019 Presidency including incumbent Muhammadu Buhari, Senator Makarfi remains the most experienced and qualified given his vast experience and antecedents across sectors.

As a trained accountant and former Senior banker, Makarfi is vast in managing the resources of organisations and entity. This he proved in the management of the lean and almost zero resources of PDP when he was chairman, as well as those of Kaduna state when he served as Commissioner for finance and later Governor.

His eight years experience as Governor will come to play in handling executive responsibilities as President for the good of the country, while his experience as Senator will come to play in forging a robust relationship with federal lawmakers as he appreciates their role in furthering our democracy and giving dividends to the masses.

The Presidency under Makarfi will not be enmeshed in party-government politics that cause distraction to the government as he is fully abreast with the workings of a party and know how to relate with it to the benefit of the masses. I am very optimistic that the unhealthy cold war between the National Assembly and the Presidency that seem to have been a norm in the polity since 1999 will be thrown to the dustbin of history under Ahmed Makarfi's administration.

Furthermore, Senator Ahmed Makarfi is never known to be a controversial figure, but known to be an unapologetic nationalist and first class statesman that believes in fairness, equity and justice. It is not a fluke that he enjoys popularity and is highly respected by the political class and the masses irrespective of religion and ethnicity. He is the only one whose candidacy could be bought by the sophisticated Southwest, the innovative Southeast, the agile SouthSouth, the committed Northcentral, the ever dependable northeast and strategic northwest population. 

Conclusively, while citizens are eager for a transition to a new government, it will be a disaster on political parties, especially the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party to field a candidate that lack goodwill amongst Nigerians, one that is highly inexperienced and one that suffers credibility issues.

The retirement age of judges is 70, I think at 62-70 years he will be fit as fiddle for two terms of 8 years

Rubbish post!

How many of his class of governors are still politically relevant today aside Tinubu?

For Tonye to be bringing broke Markarfi, wike's godson up as candidate.
Even Markarfi will be laughing at this post, saying which kain wahala be this.
In fact he is even putting a call up to Atiku now, to tell him no mind Tonye na joke oh

Team sowore. Say no to past criminals.

Omololu2121:
we're in this mess we are today,because of the PDP.

The PDP is a failed party,a party that spent more than $20 billion on power from 1999-2015,but look at how messed up the power sector is.

I will rather waste my vote,voting for sowore than to vote for PDP

#SOWORE2019

He has come again

TonyeBarcanista:

Oga PDP remains the only party that is firmly rooted in every nooks and crannies of the 774 LGAs that makes up Nigeria.

Election for Presidency is different from Big Brother Naija contest, this one has to do with grassroots and PDP is the ONLY party that is known by all Nigerians.

is it about been rooted all over or about the seemingly irreparable damage they caused this country in their 16 years of misrule?

Stop this praise of a man you know nothing, more was said of GMB now PMB, what has that resulted to? Failed promises and a worse economy.
Be warned.

TonyeBarcanista:

He's only 61...

The retirement age of judges is 70, I think at 62-70 years he will be fit as fiddle for two terms of 8 years

bro this one is dead on arrival!!

TonyeBarcanista:

Kaduna state is like a mini Nigeria where you have various ethno religious interests scheming... Under Makarfi he was fair to all to the extent that everyone now see him as their own.

He isn't a bigot... This is a fact!

Hello, Mr Tonye, I have been following your posts since 2016 and I must commend your political acuity. In the objective manner which you are reputed to always table your points, can you give us reasons why Sowore is not a better candidate for us, in the light of government of the people of Nigeria, for the people of Nigeria and by the people of Nigeria?

This one don start again.

He even used just for 61

My advice remain the same.

Get a skill and stop all this No Politics No Life of a thing.

The same crooked, worthless and incompetent PDP Nigerians trashed inside dustbin?



Well, to dream is free of charge, so carry on. e go do you life film trick all over again..

juventino:


You took this words off my mouth. I think you’re watching my documentary somewhere.
I just told my friend about an hour ago that Markafi is the only northern candidate that can earn my vote. Everyone love him in Kaduna, I’m fact he concentrated more to southern Kaduna than the northern part. The reason they named him a Christian governor. Don’t get it twisted, no southerner can wrestle power from Buhari. Iron sharpens iron, Markafi is the man. QED

no serious southern politician will contest against him for now,cause it's not the turn of the south yet.

A southerner defeated him twice.

Stop deceiving yourself
All the yahoo yahoo boys are less than 45

And yes to possible future criminals

It is better to block people so you can't view their unintelligent post. I hate Yoruba Muslims to the core especially the pro Buhari ones
