Why is he begging those irrelevant self-important irritants.

Atiku will win in the SE with or without their approval. Nobody in the southeast cares about their clucking. I live there; I know.

Kennydoc:


The difference between PDP and APC is that if PDP wins, every region will be adequately represented in government. Nigeria is one nation. It is Buhari's brand of politics that introduces deep seated nepotism.
Even if Buhari wins with a landslide in the NW and SW but Atiku wins the election, the 2 regions will still be very much represented in the government. That's how it should be.

Just like the south west was adequately represented during GEJ abi?
Or like how wike told them to gerrout during pdp convention right?
Be there deceiving yaself.

igwefivestar:
shatap bafanaBafana, u are from south Africa so don't dip ur long mouth in our affair. Last time a check, SGF and COA is not a guarantee for development.

Exactly!
I wonder why your people keep crying marginalisation then.

SOLUTION99:

LIFELESS COMMENT.
GO AND ATIKULATE YOUR HOUSEHOLD

My household is not like that. We detest crime and criminals.

BafanaBafana:
See the way they are supporting PDP with all their muscles. When Buhari wins, they will start start demanding for SGF slot and Chief of Army staff position.

God will not allow Buhari to win.

nelronaldo:
When people said Igbos rise up against themselves, i never believed. Why is this a fuss? Is it the party leaders from the South east that is to decide who will be VP or the presidential candidate? If Atiku had chosen someone from the South west, nothing would have happened. The south east leaders will still campaign for them. So what is their problem? Can they be united for once?

Igbos are not rising against themselves. They want peter obi replaced with another Igbo man of their own choosing. Outsiders taking important decisions for Igbos is the cause of the discontent.

What is paining me is that an Ebonyi man by name Gov Umahi started this nonsense.
Ebony na state?
Or is it because they recently saw little development?
Even Abia and Imo is far ahead of them.
Do they even speak good igbo language as such?
Thunder will fire that governor!!!

benuejosh:
Igbos are never United. Yet they cry fowl at all times. Haba! Imagine a Man from South South (outsider) coming to intervene in their Eastern (Family) Matter.

Yorubas did not support Obasanjo when the military chose him in 1999. Obasanjo himself, did not support Abiola for president. All Hausas did not support Yar'Adua when Obasanjo selected him, and all south south did not support Jonathan either. So what infantile nonsense are you talking.

Anybody who doesn't accept Peter Obi as Atiku's running mate is an OSU in igbo land

Peter obi the APGA gov for 8 years.. what about those in PDP since inception and are still there? this is hypocracy!

BafanaBafana:
See the way they are supporting PDP with all their muscles. When Buhari wins, they will start start demanding for SGF slot and Chief of Army staff position.

Do you expect a south east pdp governors/leaders to be supporting Buhari in public? Why not tell APC leaders the same thing

Pekele007:

so they should divide their votes and give part to a lifeless ethnic jingoistic president You are not alright

....and they shouldn't cry for been marginalized in appointments if ur so call "ethnic jingoistic" eventually emerged.

NonsoWow:

Please who is supposed to pick the running mate? Is it not Atiku? If he decided to pick from South West, everyone would have had to accept it. The Vp is Atiku's decision to make and not pdp igbo leaders.

BafanaBafana:

Exactly!
I wonder why your people keep crying marginalisation then.

because there is no development in south east. Almost all the federal road in that region are in bad condition. No federal project, it is easy for one to wonder if that region is still part of Nigeria.u said the region like putting their eggs in one basket? Are u trying to say that it is normal for our leader not to run inclusive govmnt, instead of being president of Nigeria u be president of APC or PDP.

they will back the wrong candidate and start shouting discrimination later! I’m surprised they have not been calling Nigeria “zoo”lately ! Now they are ready to lick Fulani a** to be VP of the zoo ! Lol!

The SW sold their position of Speaker of the HoR to the NW to strengthen the opposition. The whole SW ACN reps voted for Tambuwal instead of supporting the PDP candidate from the SW (can't remember who it was). That was the beginning of the loss of Yorubas in GEJ's administration. Despite that, Jonathan didn't treat Yorubas half as bad as Buhari has been treating Igbos.

Enugupikin:
Former President Dr. Goodluck Jonathan has appealed to the leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South East zone to support the party’s presidential candidate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar in his choice of Mr. Peter Obi as his running mate, to ensure victory for PDP in next year’s general elections.

The former President’s appeal followed a statement issued on Saturday by leaders of the party in the zone stating that they were not properly consulted before Obi’s nomination was made public.

In a statement addressed to party members which he personally signed, the former President counseled against insisting on obtaining a zonal endorsement for a vice presidential nomination, adding that it is the prerogative of the Presidential candidate to select the candidate he believes will help him to achieve his vision and goals for the nation.

A statement issued by Mr. Ikechukwu Eze, the former President’s spokesman quoted Dr. Jonathan thus: “I therefore want to directly appeal to my brothers and sisters from the South East zone who are members of our party to reconsider their position and allow the presidential candidate of the PDP to select a candidate he thinks he can work with to be able to achieve the party’s development goals.

Since Atiku has already nominated Mr. Peter Obi as his running mate, I am pleading with my party members from the zone to accept his choice.”

Below is the full statement issued by Dr. Jonathan:
“I thank members of our great party for the successful conduct of the primaries for the various elective positions ahead of the 2019 general elections. By holding transparent, peaceful and rancor-free convention and primaries across the country, our party has once more, taken the nation’s democratic exercise a notch higher, in line with our well-established tradition of deepening the growth of democracy in our nation.

“I again congratulate all our candidates for various positions, including Alhaji Atiku Abubakar who was overwhelmingly elected by our delegates as the flag bearer of our party in the 2019 presidential election. The popularity and positive reviews of the exercise across the country is a clear demonstration of national endorsement for the choices we made, going into the 2019 elections.

“The task before us is to build on this firm foundation and momentum by pulling in one direction and working assiduously for the victory of these candidates at the polls.

It is against this backdrop that I appeal for calm and understanding in the South East where my attention has been drawn to the fact that some leaders of our party are openly expressing their discomfort with the reported nomination of former Governor of Anambra State Peter Obi as Atiku’s running mate. I am told that some of our leaders in the zone have raised issues with the process of consultation that produced the Vice Presidential candidate.

“I affirm that consultation is a key ingredient in every political process. Nonetheless, in the selection of a vice presidential candidate, a presidential candidate is allowed reasonable freedom to select his running mate based on loyalty, trust, experience, temperament and capacity to perform the responsibilities of the office. Anything other than this could create tension and acrimony between the presidential candidate and his running mate, even before
the inauguration of the government.

My plea is for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to be given a free hand to choose who he wants to work with as his Vice President without putting him through undue pressure. In this regard, only minimal consultation is required which doesn’t necessarily have to involve full regional review and approval.

“We have to be careful not to give the impression that the process of selecting a Vice Presidential candidate cannot progress until a regional stamp of approval is formally procured. The system we are used to right from the First Republic is one that places the choice of a running mate at the behest of the candidate, based on his own convictions on capacity and compatibility.

“From my political history beginning from Deputy Governor to President, I can say that this is the tradition and standard practice in countries where either the President and his Vice or Governor and his Deputy contest election on a common slate. In such instance, once a candidate emerges, he or she is given a free hand to select the person who understands his vision and plans for the country, as his running mate.

I therefore want to directly appeal to my brothers and sisters from the South East zone who are members of our party to reconsider their position and allow the presidential candidate of our party to select a candidate he thinks he can work with to be able to achieve the party’s development goals. Since Atiku has nominated Mr. Peter Obi as his running mate, I am pleading with my party members from the zone to accept his choice.”

Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan is speaking out his mind.

That is okay!

Thank You GEJ. For Your Intervention

beg or no beg SE and SS are for a united party called pdp period. buhari do not know that many people were relieved when atiku became pdp flag bearer even the ones pronounced death cameback to life even the ones that are planning to travel out cancelled their travels because atiku won pdp ticket. atiku is light now buhari remains in dark with his thoughts bans and 5 percentisem.

tiger28:
keep consoling yourself..... We ALL know the truth..

stfu,i am from the so called ss(ijaw) and from 2nd richest state in nigeria,if not africa.and igbos are my brothers.

Taking important decisions for Igbos?

The choice of a running mate is entirely the presidential candidate's call to make. He could have picked from SW or SS if he had wanted to; and he wouldn't have had to go cap in hand to SW/SS leaders to request they picked a running mate for him.

REPEAT: The choice of a running mate is entirely the presidential candidate's call to make.

meforyou1:
u think igbos are like yorubas that are tinubu servants?

but you are atiku servant.fulani servants dictating for you by choosing obi for you.why you people disturbing the peace of social network.Three regions determine Nigeria Election result Nw,sw and North central.
