Cross River State Governor, Ben Ayade says he will contest for President in 2023 after President Muhammadu Buhari gave him approval.Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Ayade said the President has asked him to make necessary consultations on the matter with his people while he watches.
“I believe that the party leadership will decide the appropriate candidate that will take our party to victory and so if you heard me well, I am just part of the family, absolutely loyal to the President, seeking to run for president and I’m running,” Ayade said. “At any point in time the political leadership of my party, the APC, feels that President Jonathan is the appropriate candidate that will take us to victory, I will turn my support for him.
“I am never ever going to fight the establishment, the institution, the aristocracy, the spiritual vortex of which God has placed a leader on the country. I will never question the powers of the leader of the country. “I have never played the politics of antagonism or fights. If you know how I became governor, I became governor by offering to support whoever the governor wants. By a stroke of luck, I became the candidate. The same token… I’m only here to support the President’s candidate and by a stroke of luck he said you too go there and join the race.”
See you on the other side.
More reason I pray you fail. Is Buhari Inec? APC?
Security agencies are the ones holding Nigeria back from shining for all; normal normal we know wetin we fit do to those cancerous monsters(politicians) if they are not enjoying the support of this security men and women
Who is convincing all this people to run for president?
Funniest of the funnies. using state funds to pick nomination form is a crime.
How many votes does he have?
Welcome on board. Join the queue. When the results come out. You'll see zero votes and be wondering if they even have family members.
You want to come and be crying in the office?
The worst governor ever is Ayade, and he still want to bring his bad luck to the whole Nigeria 🇳🇬
Just contribute your own money for buying ticket from apc party shikena
Buhari is now the Controller General of your destiny
Pls I have a question for all swagga and Co people - the Bola in the name of your aspirant - is it Olubola or Adebola or Abimbola or Ajibola or Esubola or Oluwabola or Abolade or which one is it exactly? I have a hunch that the stolen name has a birth certificate and copy dey O!
Everyone wants to be president!!!
Na head boot and several punches e suppose give you... No allow am decieve you, nod is not enough, you need beating from area boys to join the race
See your big head!
He can only give u indomitable to eat, u wan join the race abi
You may also wait for Aisha to anoint you. Politicking in Nigeria looks like a coven for the occult.
Even James and John asked Jesus for a special place in his kingdom, he told them is the Father's to give not him. These politicians have made us to understand that it is Buhari's to give not the electorates as touching 2023. All these aspirants have no aspiration, NOT ONE!
The more the merrier! Congratulations prof
So you want to carry your Olimpotic merista'whawhat to national level? Delegates will soon give you headbutt no be only nod.
Hmmmm
It's baffles me that you'll need PMB approval before contesting as if he is the 200m Nigerians that will be voting. Giving regard to who does not deserve it. My people Respect is earned and he has earned nada!
Everybody won become president
Please why do people have to seek the President's consent before they can pursue their political ambitions? Can somebody educate me?🤨
I would have loved it if it was God that gave the nod
We also hope he hasn’t given u another nod to cry publicly again while declaring in this your party pool of circus…!!! , Gov undisputed cry- baby of APC..!
He should declare that not you sir.
profbenayade you are on your own, thinking that Mr President is with you. Better rethink cos is going to be a wasted effort and funds. I rest my case 🙌🙌
And that's your level of foolishness
No be only nod, he gave u head too
Go ahead and fail
I can see a national budget of olympotic agglutination on a kinetic crystallization
Please do not waste that nomination money use it for scholarships for out of school children, provide potable water, focus on girl child education in the IDPs, these choices are more viable than running for presidency.
A professor waiting for a half-educated man to permitting you before you can run.
He suppose give you that Nod because he is a lizard that always nod.
The annointed one..
It's Buhari that you want to represent not Nigeria. This is the beginning of your failure. You go nowhere. When PMB leaves for Daura, please get ready to follow him and represent him there.
Werrey🤣🤣😂
See who want to join presidential race, he who cannot even governor a state is talking of a whole country. Oga go and get yourself sense
Why are all of you this blind, can't you see that Abdusalami decreed/constitution is toxic, 'cos it has..
Sycophancy of the highest order! I am sure he needs his nod to even hug his wife.
To run from Top Tu BOTTUM
Something is up, do all these idiots truly believe they'll be president? We need to follow the money, something's going on.
Gibberish
Same circle ⭕️ 🤪🤪🤪🤪
Go come
This shows that you are incapacitated already by waiting for the president to tell you to run.
You are going nowhere just spend that money in a campaign.
APC just want to make more money from this ticket of their's because at the end, its only person that's gonna emerge
If someone looses presidential primaries, does he get compensated? I don't understand all these guys that know quite well that they will never win wanting to run , regardless of the N100M involved.
And so what?
Nod or Knock!
Another misfit...
He invariably approved your intention to steal 100 million Naira of cross River State money to buy APC form
Ofcos like he gave Tinubu, Osibanjo, Amechi and still nodding for GEJ. The man is trying to join all ur head together. Only one person will succeed him why is he asking everyone to run? Use ur head because them use am for u
These people are really making mockery of Nigeria political system. It really shows how lucrative and corrupt the system is.
Everybody wants that 15m Buhari's SURE votes. I know who Buhari wants to succeed him
Mumu
Shame no catch u
We shall see the outcome later.
Is buhari the owner of Nigeria cause I no come understand again🤦🏻♂️
Hypocrite, consulting Buhari in the day and insulting him at night.
100meters senior boys race
The joke is now for everyone
Every Tom, Dick and Harry is welcome. It is not only family members that make Nigeria, we shall see who will be elected. May we not meet with president of confusion, just pushing everybody, so that he can remain in office when there is problems and uproar. We know whom we want.
Another hard criminal 😏😏
Do you need a nod from him to join the race? This is a new low. Professor in the mud.
No be only nod na blow
Am affiliate marketers DM for more details
Otondo
ARE you saying Mr. President is now your God father. This time nothing like Godfatherism in Nigeria politics.
U better go for senate
It appears these guys are stylishly donating funds for their parties presidential campaign/election otherwise what will Ayade and others be doing seeking to contest. Ayade to the best of my knowledge is a governor who has only performed just like Yahaya Bello.
The name 'Buhari' appearing on any headlines, annoys me, because i know after the name, the next sentence or phrase that comes after it is so annoying.😡
You guys should all resign before joining the race na. I don't like what I hate.
These politicians have graduated from fooling Nigerians to fooling themselves without knowing it. So if Buhari had shaken his head against your wish, would that have ended your ambition? The so called youths in Nigerian politics are worse.
Dis one too de talk
Lobatan
My Friend, go and sit down, look for something meaningful to do with your life, which race, is it an Olympics race or what, join the race, what have you achieve in your state before looking for race to join, rubbish...
You can make it oga
BunzaAly Even Ayade jion your presdential race.
All of you in that caucus must be sick in the brain
Even this clown wants to rule Nigeria. E Choke oo.
Nodder and nodee. You are lucky his body did not meet your lips.
President of Calabar republic
See mumu. Buhari has given me nod

You mean him give u head 🙄
😳😳 WHAT IN THE NAME OF PRESIDENTIAL RACE IS GOING ON HERE? 🤣🤣🤣
Don't stress yourself We have better option PeterObi4president
A failure endorse Another failure = failure pro max
I for join the race but money never come
Lol 😆 Buhari is now giving head nod to politicians lol Oga if u need an interpreter for the nod, u better ask Osibanjo. 😆 😆😆😆
Drama everywhere
Lol
See as fulani dey fool all these mumu educated useless southern leaders ? Lol
This has become a comic relief. Every 2nd term Governor in the south wants to run for President. What is Okezie Ikpeazu waiting for?
Even if wike go meet baba , e go give him Nod to join
Does it mean that anyone who is contesting for President has to receive permission from Buhari
I pity people that associate their presidential ambition with Buhari, they will not make it in life.
You want to come and cry in Aso Rock too?
Joker
Ayade, you and Umahi no get brain for politics at all. Sad.
Why are our southern and western politicians so foolish? Why can’t they see the divide and rule games Buhari and northerners are playing ? Why are my southwest politicians not wise or are they coursed ni?
The Hon. PMB has given 200 million the nod to join the Preso race. 😀 I think Oga will continue to stay neutral like a true statesman.
This must be an olympotic declaration!
This ur head sef deserve better nod
Na everybody? 🤣🤣
And with your level of exposure and experience not to talk of Education, you don't know that he wants as many of you from South to join the race so as to divide ➗ all your votes? Why is your Mind even telling you that you have the slightest Chance?
Pls join the race, we are looking for those that will represent Nigeria in the Olympics. Ndi ara. As you age reach, you no know wetin you want.
Nawao... funny where we meet ourselves in this country... it's so so unfortunate
Nonsensical
More to come
Werey nse gbogbo yin. Is Buhari God
'nod' - a hebrew word meaning; land of wandering. Oga keep nodding. Anuofia.
After you join what next? You claim to be a professor but you need someone to approve before you can join a presidential race.
If you are joining the Presidential race because Buhari gave you the nod, then you don't have what it takes to lead Nigeria as it is today. Considering the present situation in the country, you lack the boldness to rescue Nigeria. Donate yr 100m from security vote to your party.
Craze man..
The same Ayade that said his family said he should not run🤣🤣🤣 oga no waste money. Carry d money start charity foundation and give to the needy
Who be this again 😅
At the rate everyone aspiring to be the president,we might end up having plenty nigeria crafted out of Nigeria.
I won’t be surprised if buhari is mobilizing so many APC leaders to contest presidency just because he wants to create active money politics market for the youths to rip the thieving politicians very well.
They all wana be president
Buhari is not going to tell you no. Join the race and run your race.
Anybody working with buhari is a bad luck to this country and therefore considered very harmful and dangerous. Be warn
You are the anointed. 👏 👏 You don win 🏆 President Ayade Olympus Lympopo
Soon bingos will start contesting too
Werey in disguise
Some of these politicians are not even fit to be head of their homes. Do you need a nod from Buhari, to declare your intentions? Shameful!
Ozuor
From the way things are going, thousands of all Nigerians are the presidential race. The BIG Question is How many are in it for what they can steal from the poor?
Seems like everybody wants to run for president of Nigeria 🤣🤦🏾♂️
Ozuor. Na buhari dey give you nod to live your life. It’s obvious you don’t have anything to offer
Nod or head? Lmao
FG slave boy
What is really going on here!!!!!!!!
Of course what did expect, anyone who refuse to embrace a helpful useful friend will end up embracing en......,
He's given you nod to break the ranks of the the southern part the more. Una no dey get sense. Ur selfish interests always becloud ur the eye
Sure he's not using pmb name to come up? Political godfather....😂
See this abaya
This guy needs to go buy sense at Idumota but can get a cheap one at Oyingbo. So if Buhari gives you nodit means you become the President or what? Using State funds for a doomed campaign from the start.
Buhari go nod all of una enter gutter finish.
😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tun tun ti de oo araadugbo
😂 cruise all around
Shebi him nod u ni....🤣
Nod. As in agama lizard nod abi
2023 must be a joke of a century.......We are expecting Evans to declare pretty soon......30 contestants soon.
Only Nod....
At ur age and professional pedigree This presidential race has loss it value
🤣🤣
Don’t be fooled The North wants to divide the south so they can retain power in 2023.
So things don come that level wen e be say PMB must approve someone b4 he/she go seek for elected position? Which power this PMB get sef? Politicians no know say PMB no get that the kind power wen e get before?
100M down the drain😀
