Olaolufred: I know He has integrity more than any of the PDP cronies.
But people's perception about him is already bad.
He should sit back as a statesman.
He should be in the kingmakers ring.
For presidency, Not many Nigerians will vote him- though I can depending on the other opponents.

Nashville: In a opinion he should not. Nigerians have rejected him three times already and I do not think they will accept him a fourth time. As someone said earlier, he already has a bad image especially in the South and he has done little to change it. People just see him as an Islamist and I cant see the justification.

If he truely means well, he should find a credible person within his party or another party to support - someone more electable than him and who carries his vision. Presidency is not about personal ambition, it is about serving the people and if they have rejected you, then you need to accept it and move on.

I also wouldn't vote for him if he contested. Although he says he will fight corruption, I do not think he has a great understanding of 21st century issues. I personally will not support anyone with a military background as I think we have had enough of them. And we have had enough of GEJ too. Let's see

You said "South" there is no south! He may have image in states in east and Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers but trust me, the general consensus in the west isn't against Buhari as it stands!

Nashville:

There may not be a South in terms of political ideology but there is a south geographically, and in religion. The general consensus in the West is against Buhari as was evident in the over-whelming support GEJ got in 2011, even though the West voted against PDP in other polls.

I do not think Southern Christians will vote Buhari whichever part of the South. I have a problem more with his military background than his religion. Nigeria does not need administrators, we need leaders and visionaries who can make lasting change and I just cannot see that in Buhari.

Mowire: NO. He's not likely to win. The baba may be a good person but he's just not a politician & does not know politics. You need to know politics to rule successfully in a democracy. &I, personally, think he's become stale.

The support for Jonathan was sentimental nothing short of that bro.

Your points as to why Buhari can't win are rather very very corrupt. Corrupt in the sense that having someone who has the quality you prescribed doesn't guarantee a true leader.

If you are a south Christian, will you vote for Buhari? given the fact that he has proven himself to be a selfless, corrupt free, economic savvy leader with his track record. If yes, then I doubt you are the only Southern Christian that will vote for him. Bakare is a Christian and I bet you all the people in his church will vote for Buhari though small in number. In the west, Tinubu is a Muslim, so is Fashola and I bet you that didn't stop Christians from voting for him. I doubt Edo people will hug an unsophisticated rejection base on religion.

Don't generalize the south. We aren't the same. Politically, there is no south because ACN has the west, PDP have 99% of the rest. But if Buhari can have the west and North, I think the vote of Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, Delta, Rivers, Calabar, Enugu etc can't stop him.

Remember if the west didn't vote for GEJ, he wouldn't have won even with east and south south votes.

And about a visionary leader, check Buhari's track record. GEJ wasn't a military leader and here we are still borrowing money and wallowing in corruption.

I swear your post makes me think you hate the man! He has every quality of a leader Nigeria need. At least to lay a strong foundation and pave the way for better leaders.

Mekanze: Bros remove meddle belt from the north, because they can never i mean never vote for buhari .

TroGunn: Key questions will always follow him:

Can people forgive and forget his actions (or lack of ) after his last loss leading to the deaths of Corp members, just because he was bent on winning?
Will he or anyone from the core North win when the region is generally seen as supporting BH as a means of gaining back power?
Is a 70-73yr old President really the best Nigeria can do, when there are younger people like Fashola (if he can be redeemed from clutches of Tinubu)?
Has he really articulated how he intends to fight corruption under a democracy- it's different from ruling by decrees?
What's his economic ideas- more privatized or more govt controlled- we need more privatized?

0lumide:

When you say middle belt, which states won't vote for him in middle belt so we can check who they voted for in the 2011 elections. Don't generalize with sentiments.




Did he tell people to go out and fight? Did he tell them to go and kill people? People got mad because election got rigged and I bet you those folks in the creeks would have done worst if Jonathan wasn't declared winner.

73 or 80 can he perform? His track records are still there for all to see and judge. I read his track record and believe the best option Nigeria can have is him for now!

You your self said if Fashola can be redeemed from Tinubu. How about someone that doesn't need redemption and owes no one a political favour? Do you love Nigeria, do you want her to survive? Another tenure of corruption in any sector of Nigeria is the end!
