TWO OF NIGERIA'S MOST POWERFUL POWER BROKERS AT AN EVENT RECENTLY

Except if anything out of the ordinary happens between now and 2019 General elections ,The News office Desk of Paedia Express Multimedia Group in Lagos,Nigeria now hears that three distinguished personalities will be the major contenders for The Nigerian Presidency  in 2019.

They are the incumbent Nigerian President ,Muhammadu Buhari ,Former Vice President of Nigeria,Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Former Governor of Jigawa State of Nigeria ,Alhaji Sule Lamido .

In a world exclusive chat with this reporter ,an impeccable source has declared that though there were several other politicians who will have wanted to make a grab at the much coveted position judging by the number of registered political parties by The Independent National Electoral Commission [I.N.E.C],only the listed three political figures had the money ,fame, influence, power or  clout  to fight for the position.

The source affirmed that he was so sure that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar will be leaving the All Progressives Congress [A.P.C]so as to enable him to contest at the polls as the party will not want to give its ticket to another person with Buhari  still willing  and ready..

The source explained that he does not think that the Adamawa born politician will want to go to The Peoples Democratic Party [P.D.P]who are currently said to be wooing him due to several factors but quickly pointed out that the PDP which the latter helped to establish may likely come in handy.

He revealed that Alhaji Sule Lamido should get the nod among party chieftains for the P.D.P Presidential standard bearer for 2019 with Mr Ayodele Fayose ,Governor of Ekiti State likely to be  considered  for the Vice Presidential slot if all arrangements goes well.

In a related issue,yet another source had told this reporter that he has heard it been said in several quarters by even a lot of critical analysts  that the Former Governor of Anambra State,Mr Peter Obi will make a good president because of his stewardship as Governor.

He however added that if Obi wanted to be a President  then he must stand to be counted by fighting for the position and not just watch from the sidelines.
