PETER Obi's Nomination And The Dissension From The South East. by chieyine(m): 10:37pm On Oct 13, 2018 |
Special Assistant to former President Obasanjo on Media and Publicity and Senior Special Assistant to former President Jonathan on public affairs Dr Reuben Abati has advised the South East leaders to sheath their swords and accept Peter Obi as Atiku's running mate. According to him on his facebook wall, the choice of VP by the presidential candidate is often times followed by some measure of disapproval by interest groups from the zone where the VP nominee comes from. However the choice is squarely nearly an exclusive prerogative of the Presidential candidate. Usually because the zone is under contention for the VP slot the zonal leadership of the party ought to have met immediately after the primaries and agree on a shortlist of 3 candidates which would have been submitted to the candidate through the national leadership of the Party. It is expected that the candidate will pick one of this three. But still the candidate is at liberty to reject the three and bring up his own preferred candidate in further consultation with the party and selected stakeholders in the zone. In 1999, the party leadership and stakeholders had their own preferences and the zonal leadership were solidly behind abubakar Rimi. Candidate Obasanjo got a wind of the position of the party because close individuals within the national caucus revealed to him the trend of their thoughts. That evening in Nicon Hilton Obasanjo rejected the nominees of the party and the zone which was expected to produce the VP. He gave the name of Atiku Abubakar who was from the north east and not even in the preferred ME zone and therefore not favoured. It was a night of "long knives" but the strength of his mandate, his personal charisma and the love of party and country, the elders conceded to the lone voice of Obasanjo and accepted Atiku as the Vice President. This is what the elders and leaders from the south east must do immediately and not allow this issue degenerate to any distasteful level which may make the candidate lose focus and be unnecessarily distracted even in this early stages. The good thing is that the choice is indeed a good one with a high national appeal and acceptability. The South East leaders and elders must not create any bad blood capable of eroding the already entrenched popularity of the party in that zone. TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN, MUCH IS EXPECTED.

I am Igbo, if PDP will pacify Yorubas with President (Obasanjo) Pacify south south with presieent (Jonathan) Why should they want to Pacify Igbos with VP? Are we only good for crumbs? Never. We Need the TOP Position not VP position. I will rather wait for 2023 and get the President position than collect VP position next year and be shut out of political limelight for another 20years after 2027 |

the true and trusted and real voice and leaders of the east and biafra is ipob, and not umahi and his likes, forget about the govs, they think they are intelligent but see how they are doing ipob's bidding indirectly. IPOB want buhari to continue for obvious reasons, from IPOB'S point of view, this umahi and group actions is net net for one nigeria believers ANYONE who claims to be a leader here and have not asked about the whereabouts of nnamdi kanu is a joker and is not speaking for us, if you are to do an election here now without rigging none of the five govs will win it, and we know why 1 Like |

A friend of mine who is a PDP member was telling me this evening that the problem they have with Peter Obi is that he has just been a member of PDP for less than 3 years but he has too many privileges over long time members. Within 3 years of joining PDP, Peter Peter Obi foisted his prefared candidate, Obaze, to be the Governorship candidate of the party in last year's Anambra elections. As if that was not bad enough, long time members who have kept the party going in the South East for over 10 years were sidelined when it came to to the vice- Presidential ticket for Peter Obi who they still regard as a "new comer" I understand where they are coming from but I still think that it was Atiku's decision who he picks as his running mate |

Awol1: If there is no more Nigeria in 2023 the world does not end. The world will even start to celebrate that some people in Africa finally began to receive sense... Was there a Nigeria in 1959? Even Buhari and Atiku cannot say they were born in Nigeria because they themselves are older than than the Nigger Area... SO what nationality are they? Czechoslovakia split, even the mighty Soviet Union, even Yugoslavia, did the people all parish? In fact as you all celebrate beating a non team called Libya, Croatia kicked your nyash in World Cup and see their fine madam president.... I know you are getting emotional now and will say, “Then go live there”, but that will not solve your numerous problems being in the Nigger Area. My advise to you is to see how to get referendum.....the earlier the better |

gidgiddy: They do have a point. But even the Bible said it that the first will be last while the last will be first. Which of them who has been in PDP since inception has the kind of pedigree Obi possesses? Which of them has the national acceptability Obi has? Let's not sacrifice our good thing on the alter of ego. |

What we need in Nigeria is restructuring not ethnic / tribal politics. I will cast my vote to anyone that will sincerely impact such development as a Niger Delta / South South man. |
