I honestly see nothing wrong with GEJ joining APC to actualize his ambitions. PDP hasn't shown seriousness as a party ready to take power, with constant bickerings and dissensions within her fold. Moreover, they've surreptitiously joined the office of the president to the north.
With the alternatives flying around I think he's the best of the realistic candidates for the job. He's had practical experience on same, and with his demeanor as a unifier, the country will benefit from him, especially after 8 fractious years of Buhari in power.
In practical terms, the difference between APC and PDP lies squarely on the character, personality, ideology and policies of Muhammadu Buhari and nothing else. There's been an admixture of politicians in both folds, so this is the only realistic assumption in that regard.
The office of the president of Nigeria is imbued with so much powers, that as commander in chief and party leader, he can mould the party in his image and ideology in an instant. APC will be expected to morph to GEJ's idiosyncrasies as different from the APC we know today.
*zoned*.

The widely disseminated statement by Kaduna-based Muslim cleric Dr. Ahmed Gumi titled “War has never been a solution anywhere anytime” is too sweeping to be true.
He was referring to the Nigerian Army’s recently stepped-up campaign against bandits in Zamfara and other north-western states, which he says will not end banditry. He said only negotiation and a peaceful settlement with the bandit leaders will do.
For starters, it is not true that war has never resolved any issues. It may not be ideal but throughout human history, nothing resolves contentious issues quite as conclusively as victory on the battlefield.
I have closely followed the discussions regarding IPOB’s Sit-At-Home protest. Naturally, there are arguments in favor and against this order. The argument against this mode of protest adopted by IPOB is anchored primarily on the economic implication for the SE.
According to the proponents of this position, the Monday Sit-At-Homes, if sustained will be costing the SE billions of Naira bearing in mind that the SE harbors some of the largest markets both in Nigeria and West-Africa and even beyond.
Some describe IPOB’s approach as a case of cutting off one’s nose to spite the face. In their view, IPOB is doing more injury to the SE in its protest against the Federal Government.
Is NNPC the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation or the Northern Nigeria Petroleum Company?
Check out the all-Muslim all-northern top 20 executives in NNPC.
1. Mele Kyari (GMD) 2. Umar Ajiya (Chief Finance Officer/Finance and Accounts) 3. Yusuf Usman (Chief Operating Officer) 4. Farouk Garba Sa’id (Chief Operating Officer, Corporate Services) 5. Mustapha Yakubu (Chief Operating Officer, Refining and Petrochemicals).
6. Hadiza Coomassie (Corporate Secretary/Legal Adviser to the Corporation) 7. Omar Ibrahim (Group General Manager, International Energy Relations) 8. Kallamu Abdullahi (GGM Renewable Energy) 9. Ibrahim Birma (GGM Governance Risk and Compliance) 10. Bala Wunti (GGM NAPIMS).
I think Chukwuma Soludo of APGA seems to be the best candidate of the lot in the Anambra elections. Unfortunately that election may not hold as can be seen from the strict observance of IPOB's #SitAtHome calls in the state. As it is, 3 scenerios may emerge in it's aftermath.
The first scenerio is that INEC may likely go ahead and declare a grossly controversial result from the very few voters that may likely defy the order amidst the voter apathy. This as expected will be highly flawed due to inadequate monitoring of the polls for obvious reasons.
Scenerio two is that Anambra will get the Imo State treatment which is basically, declaration of results without due consideration to the trajectory of candidate/party popularity. In this case, the APC candidate, though highly unpopular, will be declared winner of the polls.
For what was for so long a small town, Las Vegas always has been about big things.
The gangsters and the gaming pioneers were larger than life.
The entertainers were the biggest and the brightest of stars.
Even the bombs were huge, as towering mushroom clouds from aboveground atomic testing in the 1950s were as iconic as the flickering neon and the stretch of skyscraper resorts that would become the signatures of this desert oasis.
That colorful past and its rich characters are captured in a new presentation on the Las Vegas Sun Web site, the History of Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada featuring videos, interactive maps, a documentary film series and historical photos and stories.
