The Poll and Modu Sheriff: How to Win Elections


Really?  Fani-Kayode's campaign against APC being sympathetic to boko haram actually helped APC win the 2015 elections. Didn't it? Why is PDP now winning sympathy rather than the reverse?.

Come to think of it if the publicity secretary of your party is said to have collected N400Million  money meant for boko haram and Bello Haliru and others are labeled treasury looters  and the same party in this 2016, PDP beat APC in Benue State Senator David Mark emerged the latest. Before then PDP Governor of Bayelsa Dickson beat APC's Gov candidate even with APC at the centre, PDP won, because Nigerians do not believe APC is a great party. 
Magic wand being good governance.  Politicians prove it.  Govern well wherever you have won election and that truly wins any time. Maltreating vulnerable people is not exactly a sign of strength you know. Please kindly fight only just causes akin to the Amazon.

Sheriff not best choice for PDP – Poll

Ali Modu Sheriff
14137
After the former Governor of Borno State, Ali Modu Sherrif, was named as the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party on Tuesday, a debate emerged about his ability to move the party forward.
While some think it is a brilliant move, some others have a lot of reservation about it, saying it may even mean the end of the political party altogether. However, some others are indifferent about it.
When we asked our readers what they thought about PDP’s choice of Ali Modu Sherriff as the National Chairman at this time, 71.2 per cent of the respondents said he was not he best choice for the party.
Seventeen per cent of the respondents believed the former governor was the best man to move the party forward, while 11.8 per cent were indifferent about the decision.

Those opposed to the choice said claims that the former governor was affiliated to Boko Haram made his emergence as national chairman negative for the PDP.
“His personality has been damaged following the unending crisis of Boko Haram; even though he might not have orchestrated the establishment of the group, there is the feeling that he is affiliated to them,” a respondent said.
Some, who said he was the best man for the job, were only being sarcastic about it, saying that the choice was positive because  it would ensure that the PDP never gets close to the presidency again.
“It is a boost to end PDP,” a respondent said.
“So that he will kill the party completely,” another said.
Supporters of the new PDP chairman argued among other things that he was capable of boosting the party’s profile in the North-East where the ruling All Progressives Party had huge following.
“He (Modu Sherrif) has lots of followership in the North; a place where the APC currently enjoys numerical advantage over all other parties. Besides, the man is legitimately financially loaded!,” a respondent said.

Another respondent said, “Senator Modu Sheriff is a politician of repute and integrity.I strongly believe, he has the capacity and intelligence to deliver PDP to the promise land.”
What do you think?
