Ok, remove the NC and stake your bet on the: NW & NE

Go ahead and be abusing people. Even if Buhari wins a 2nd term, you also would suffer like other Nigerians. Or would you relocate to another country? Whatever your Baba dishes out to Nigerians you get your share.
I don't think they would know you to reward you with an appointment or contracts. So all this name calling is to what end?

oyeb15:
By choosing Obi as running mate, Atiku has buried South East presidency for d next 20years.

After Baba in 2023, Osibanjo will rule for d next 8years .

Rebels never win.

I've said it before that the choice of obi as atiku running mate was a case of buying what you already have.
Why bringing a running mate from a region you already have?
Obj knew so well that obi was not a sellable running mate yet he handpicked him for atiku just to justify his conscience aftermath of the peace deal.
But its all good.
After all nothing good can actually come out from PDP.

For those calling the unnamed Gov unprintable names,
You might want to re-read the post again.

Which governor said this. It's a lie. Atiku will surely win

I can relate with many of the issues raised by the governor. Secondus and Atiku are not doing the needful by resolving so many issues including the aggrieved members who are silent and not contributing immensely to the campaign.

Omar09:
Another Another APC propaganda. We know.

Call it whatever you want.

Come to think of it, why is Atiku always running to Dubai?

Painful truth is, ATIKU can't win 2019.

There was 'scam' before Nigerians translated it to 'wayo'

The Governor that has refused to mention his name is Dave Umahi of ebonyi state,I wish his people can vote him out to teach him a lesson.
What sought of rubbish is this, do you want them to give you the head of John the Baptist before you support them.am presently in the east the Atiku/obi fever is all over, if our leaders can not read the momentum and follow their people then they should get lost.

But why does it take them long time like this to see a very clear handwriting on the wall that Atiefku is a bad market and investment. o gbe kun lemu o n ta adalu ta ni o raa ? (You are selling beans with thick mucous who will buy). The true fact is that Athiefloot knows this, hence his lackadaisical attitudes to the whole charade. Every politician of substance knows you can only challenge Buhari at your own peril. What they were initially banking upon was that Buhari would die or that the APC will somehow got it wrong. To their dismay, none of this happen. Thier next act is to be crying wolf where there is none that APC will rig the elections as if rigging is done in a vacuum san of people. Only the party with the largest number of of the right set of people can rig election successful. In anyway, in this circumstances, APC dont even need to rig. War is won and lost before the war start. APC has won the 2019 elections already. Opponents should be looking at 2023 and beyond

kahal29:
A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) state governor has warned that his party might lose the 2019 presidential election if it fails to address the concerns of party leaders over a plethora of issues he said were drawing back its campaign for the election.

According to the governor, who asked not to be named so he is not victimised by the party, said there is deep frustration in the PDP camp just over six weeks to the election “and time is running out.”

He said in an interview with PREMIUM TIMES, “All is not going well with our campaign and the commitment of many top party leaders to the campaign is suspect.”

The governor, who is considered very influential in the party, said he had been contacted by many leaders of the party from across the country who were worried about the preparation of the PDP for the presidential election.

“It seems as if we (including Atiku) have conceded the election to Buhari even though the Nigerian people are behind us. The momentum has fallen, the possibility of victory is getting slimmer every day,” the governor lamented.

He said party leaders were aggrieved by alleged lack of consultation by the presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, before making key appointments of his running mate and head of the campaign organisation.

Among the worried leaders he named are state governors Ibrahim Dankwambo of Gombe, Nyesom Wike of Rivers and Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto; as well as former governors Ahmed Makarfi, Sule Lamido, and Rabiu Kwankwaso.

Four of the serving and former governors ran for the PDP presidential ticket against Mr Abubakar.

But the governor said the concerns they expressed had nothing to do with their loss of the party’s ticket.

“He (Atiku) did not consult anybody before appointing Obi (former Anambra State governor, Peter).

“They (party leaders) are saying we should have sat down to do a proper calculation on where the running mate should come from, whether from the South-west or the South-east.

“The thinking among many leaders is that the running mate should have come from the South-west because you have from there people like Tinubu (former Lagos State governor, Bola, of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) who is politically-savvy and (Vice President Yemi) Osinbajo who has integrity and credibility.

“Why will the people of the South-west abandon Tinubu and Osinbajo to vote PDP and Atiku?”

“People believe that we should have instead given the South-west the vice presidency and make a commitment to hand over power to the South-east after an Atiku presidency.”

The governor also said the South-east leaders of the party have remained lukewarm to the PDP campaign because of Mr Abubakar’s choice of Mr Obi as his running mate.

“(Deputy Senate President, Ike) Ekweremadu and many South-east leaders including the governors; their commitment is not total. Obi is considered an APGA person who only defected to the PDP during the (former President Goodluck) Jonathan era because he had nowhere else to go. In any case, what is his electoral worth in the South-East.”

Mr Obi served two terms as governor of Anambra State on the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance but left APGA for the PDP in 2014 after falling out with his successor, Willie Obiano, whose reelection he later failed to stop.

The worried governor also faulted the structure and composition of the PDP presidential campaign organisation.

“There is also Saraki (Senate President, Bukola) who like Atiku is a recent returnee to the party. He was appointed the head of the campaign.

“Real leaders who have been committed to the PDP, people who did not leave the party during rain or shine, they have been sidelined by the newcomers. Why were leaders like Lamido and Makarfi not given central roles in the campaign?”

Structure of campaign

“The campaign has a faulty structure. Saraki has a lot of baggage. As a sitting Senate President, he cannot oppose the president vigorously as a leader of another arm of the same government. He also still has a lot to do running that arm of government.

“To worsen the matter, in a zone (South-west) where you have leaders like Bode George, you appointed (former Ekiti State governor, Ayodele) Fayose as campaign coordinator.

“What can Fayose do against people like Tinubu and Osinbajo? Who can Fayose talk to in the zone? Who will he coordinate? The campaign in the South-west is structured to fail.”

The governor said there are concerns over the situation of the PDP in other zones too.

“The situation in Kano, where a lot of votes will come from, is going from bad to worse. Although Kwankwaso is the coordinator (for the North-west), he does not appear to be too keen due to lack of consultation. His supporters have started returning to the APC, including the former deputy governor. Nothing is happening in that state now.”

Hafiz Abubakar was deputy to Governor Abdullahi Ganduje until he resigned from the government and APC to join PDP. He has now returned to the APC after failing in his bid for the governorship ticket of the opposition party.

Atiku and the love for Dubai

The worried governor also warned of negative implications of the frequent visits by Mr Abubakar to Dubai, the glittering city in the United Arabs Emirate and dragnet for shoppers, tourists and investors from across the world.

“Atiku’s love for Dubai is giving the impression that his only interest in Nigeria is the election. Why the frequent trips to Dubai, a place seen as where people go to hide loots? The frequent trips to Dubai is a big minus.

“After dropping the Obi bombshell (the announcement of his running mate), he left for Dubai for six weeks, not making use of the huge momentum gained in Port Harcourt (the PDP National Convention where Mr Abubakar won his nomination).

“A group of leaders was to meet him before Christmas only for them to learn that he had travelled to Dubai for holiday. Why go to Dubai to hold meetings about an election that will happen in Nigeria?”
Incoherent Messaging

The governor further observed that the PDP flag-bearer has neglected to properly strategise to formulate his message to the Nigerian voters for the election.

“There is no investment in a developing a strategy. The messaging is incoherent. What are the central messages we are pushing to Nigerians?

“We are just making comments like ‘I will sell the NNPC’ (the government cash-cow Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, which Mr Abubakar has promised to privatise) and throwing around unsubstantiated allegations. A matter of such great concern should have been handled better.”

Too many campaign spokespersons

He said the PDP presidential campaign has too many spokespersons and lacks coordination.

“Some people are speaking on behalf of Atiku personally, others are speaking from the campaign office, some are speaking from PDP headquarters while there are those speaking from the Atiku Media Office. And what they are saying are sometimes contradictory to each others.”

The governor, however, said the situation could still be salvaged if all the concerns he raised are addressed quickly.

“If we do so, the possibility of turning things around is still there,” he said, but again quickly stressed, “time is fast running out.”

michoim:
Atiku has already lost the election, and mind you the Nigerian people are not behind PDP. ..

I'm sure that 40% of the north Is with PDP

2019 Election is as good as won and lost therefore, no need for serious investment by Atiku dito the reason for the inconsistency. Atiku is going no where. Sai Baba Sai Buhari Sai Amana. Atiku cannot stand Buhari in a Clear Contest.

PrecisionFx:

Stop being fresh and inappropriate with me

go find your mate with your obscene and foul language

Negative dude

DMerciful:
Atiku will be president in 2019

Of Biafra maybe?

PrecisionFx:

They need more like 80% to stand a chance,under government magic calculation, 1 vote for Atiku is 4 votes or more for President Buhari.

This Governor is no other person than Ebonyi Governor Umahi, He is entitled to his small n irrelevant opinion. Whatever he has against Mr Obi is personal to him. He is not God. Moreover i dont see him as an Igbo man talkless of a leader. I stand with Obi!!!!!!!!!!!

Please tell the non believers and short minded,No elections like 2007 that brought yaradua to power,were APC don't win, they will rig,why do you think the likes of Akpabio & uduaghan joined the party?

Ok a Peasant like yourself knows more than a sitting Pdp Governor? ekweremadu that has been in pdp since 1999,peter obi that just came from Apga barely 2 years will be the highest ranked Igbo man in pdp?Peter Obi very bad choice.

Be objective in your outlook,Politics is a dirty game with no honor amongst men,do not play politics with sentiments you will be terribly disappointed.

bamvik:
Everyone with his or her own reasons . But i think 2019 will be easy ride for Buhari because alot of people have decided

Fixed!

Our election must be free and fair leave govs

The north is buharis only hope, If he loses 40% of the north, he's done

Dave Umahi?

farem:

Fixed!

i no mention any candidate name o , on ur own

franchasng:
Even though i agree with most of the observations in the article, Atiku only need:

- 30% vote from Northwest

- 55% vote from Northeast

- 58% vote from North-central

- 35% vote from southern saboteurs Southwest

He will sure get block votes from other regions like this:

- 95% from Southeast

- 80% from Southsouth

Opari!!


If you like exhume Awolowo's corpse and make him Atiku VP, Yoruba Muslims have made up their mind to vote their Jihadist master Buhari, not because of his excellent performance, but because to them, he will advance the Holy cause of Allah by helping them to turn Yoruba region and other regions a Muslim state, unlike Atiku whom they see as a non born again Muslim

Stop wasting your time. Many of the people in southeast and south south don't have PVC, majority of them don't.
They are not interested, all what they know is to shout online, and that's it.

If you talk about the north, I agree. Perhaps Atiku can garner some votes there, as they are politically enlightened than the south.

Call the Yoruba's anything derogatory, we are voting Buhari. His achievements are all over the place. So its Buhari all the way.

PrecisionFx:


The north is buharis only hope, If he loses 40% of the north, he's done

Peruse nairaland very well.do you realize that only your tribesmen are the major people attacking buhari? The south south is divided.many of those claiming that ss are against buhari are igbos and your included
