donphilopus:read the article very well before jumping to conclusions . he battle for the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is going to be one of the closest fought since the 1993 face-off between Babagana Kingibe and MKO Abiola in the Social Democratic Party (SDP), TheCable Verdict 2015 Panel has predicted. At a meeting that went into the wee hours of Wednesday, 12 APC governors reached a final agreement to pitch their tent with Muhammadu Buhari, former military head of state, but Atiku Abubakar, former vice-president, is reaching out directly to the delegates. At the meeting, held at Bola Tinubu’s instance at an office on Adeola Odeku Street, Victoria Island, Lagos, the governors who agreed to support Buhari are: Abdulaziz Yari (Zamfara), Ibrahim Geidam (Yobe), Kashim Shettima (Borno), Tanko Al-Makura (Nasarawa), Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara), Babatunde Fashola (Lagos), Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo), Adams Oshiomhole (Edo), Rauf Aregbesola (Osun), Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun), Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto) and Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers). The two other governors, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso (Kano) and Rochas Okorocha (Imo), are also gunning for the presidential ticket. TheCable understands that Kwankwaso has been persuaded to step down for Buhari, which he agreed, but will still put up an appearance without putting up a fight at the convention. Atiku, on this part, is basing his calculations on the fact that APC governors control only 14 states and their influence in the remaining 22 states is not strong. TheCable understands that Atiku has zeroed in on delegates from 16 states which they consider winnable: Adamawa, Sokoto, Kebbi, Niger, Benue, Plateau, Bauchi, Jigawa, Taraba, Yobe, Delta, Abia, Ebonyi, Enugu, Ekiti and Ondo ─ as well as the FCT. In Atiku’s camp, the calculation is to deal directly with the delegates, even from states controlled by pro-Buhari governors. With Atiku’s heavy war chest, the APC hierarchy had become jittery about the high possibility of his victory. As a counterforce, Amaechi ─ who is the biggest financial backer of Buhari and is heavily favoured to pick the vice-presidential slot ─ flew in a heavy “war chest” to the pro-Buhari camp in Lagos on Wednesday morning, sources told TheCable. The strategy in the pro-Buhari camp is to match Atiku naira-for-naira and dollar-for-dollar. “Atiku cannot just come in and pick the ticket after all the hard work we did breaking up the PDP and setting up the APC,” a southern governor told TheCable on phone.

Re: Apc Primaries Updates, 12 APC Governors Endorse Buhari by Nobody: 4:14pm On Dec 10, 2014 |
Obiagelli:Yeah. I will suggest that, in the future, the major parties should use voting machines (with paper trail) for their primaries. It will make counting much faster. If Namibia, a country of 5 million people, could successfully use e-voting there is nothing stopping both major parties from doing the same for less than 10,000 delegates. 1 Like |

The time is now. Our destiny is in our hands. It has never been and shoudnt be about tribe, region nor reigion. Nigeria is at the crossroads. We need a real leader. GEJ is a good man. Yes. But, under his watch we are seeing billions looted and wasted. How many corrupt people has EFCC prosecuted and locked up? Yes, but he's a good man. My people, we need a turnaround firm leader. A leader firm and accountabe. A leader who will steer Nigeria away from this looting menace. HE'S PRESIDENT BUHARI! MAY GOD GRANT BUHARI VICTORY MAY GOD BLESS NIGERIA! 11 Likes |

As far as Nigeria is concern, Buhari is the Only Candidate with the Best Credentials. Jonathan is only holding the Power but He is not Competent and lack the Transparency to rule this Country. Corruption is increasing by the day and resources are going down the drain into their Pockets. 5 Likes |

UPDATE from premiumtimes Its past four pm in Lagos and We keep getting reports that various interest groups are meeting to forge alliances and find consensus. The latest information coming in is that Sam Nda Isaiah has stepped down for Muhammad Buhari. The initial reports we received is that the duo of Governors Rabiu Kwankwaso and Rochas Okorocha have stepped down, although, Kwankwaso’s deputy, Ganduje has posted a tweet to say his principal is still in the race. Meanwhile, the Convention Planning Committee has provided Reporters with free Internet Wifi, at the press gallery. 3 Likes |

The Peoples General speaks: For the past few weeks, I have toured most part of the country meeting delegates and party faithfuls on the way to move Nigeria forward. That also gave me the rare opportunity to closely interact with the Nigerian people and share their hopes and fears. I have seen a Nigeria where there is so much wealth and too much suffering, where there is abundant resources and unspeakable deprivation, where there is more affluence for the rich and more misery for the poor. I did not see a Northern or Southern, Muslim or Christian, Ijaw or Berom poor, what I saw is a Nigerian poor who is suffering in all religions and agonizing in all tribes. But I also saw a Nigerian poor with an unquenchable hope for the future and an unbreakable spirit to unshackle himself from the chains of disunity, bad leadership and corruption. To those groups of Nigerians I say tomorrow you will receive a glad tiding. As I welcome my party's delegates to today's convention, let me remind them of the choice before them: today is not about Muhammadu Buhari alone, today is about a bigger idea; about the future stability and prosperity of Nigeria. It is an opportunity that only comes once in every four years but whose outcomes will echo for generations to come. I trust that our delegates will make the right choice. Once again, I welcome you all to Lagos. May God be your guide. 3 Likes |

A meeting between former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari and the 12 governors who endorsed him this morning is currently on at the Lagos House, Marina. We hear the meeting is to being held to agree on modalities that will ensure an orderly and transparent convention to avoid any negative publicity that could damage the image of the party. abusidiqu.com/apc-presidential-primaries-live-update-from-lagos-apcdecides/ 1 Like |
