The CNN Analyst Was Right About Buhari by drss(m): 9:26pm On Dec 12, 2014
Just yesterday a CNN Analyst Christian Purefoy was insulted black and blue by Nairaland APC e Warriors because of his honest opinion about the acceptability of Buhari's candidature as APC's flag bearer. To them anyone that speaks against Buhari is a paid agent of Goodluck Jonathan. However, facts emerging from the just concluded APC Presidential primaries suggest that the CNN analyst was right after all. It was discovered that out of a total of 7250 accredited delegates to the primaries, 1,206 of them choose to stay away. Their actions could be interpreted as a clear case of rejection of Buhari's candidature.
On the other hand, a person like Buhari, whom the APC consider as the best Presidential material was expected to clear as much as 70% of the votes to boost his acceptability as the best candidate APC got to offer, but instead he cleared just 57.2% of the total votes cast. This is a clear message that all is not well within the APC.
If Buhari could struggle to get 57.2% to emerge as APC presidential flag bearer, then he has a very slim chance of winning the Presidential elections come 2015.
The analyst was right.

On Buhari
Femi Fani-Kayode wrote;
Major General Mohammadu Buhari has emerged as the
APC flagbearer and President Goodluck Jonathan has
emerged for the PDP. Now the battle for the soul and
future of our nation begins. The forces of light shall surely
prevail over the forces of darkness and God's counsel
alone shall stand over Nigeria. I stand with Jonathan. Let's
get it on.
''Jihadi groups killed more than 5,000 people last month,
with Iraq topping the league table of deaths, followed by
Nigeria, Afghanistan a...nd Syria.
In 664 incidents recorded in November by the BBC World
Service and researched jointly with King’s College London,
the overall death toll was 5,042, or an average of 168
deaths per day and nearly twice the number of people who
were killed in the 11 September 2001 attacks on America.
After Iraq, Nigeria, Afghanistan and Syria, Yemen was fifth
in the deadly league table, tying with Somalia, with 37
incidents each''- DORO ADEBENTLEY 11 December,
Facebook.
All this and some people still say they want Buhari as
President? A man who said, only last year, that ''an attack
on Boko Haram is an attack on the north''? A man who
said, in 2001, that he wants to ''spread sharia throughout
the federation''? A man who said, in 2001, that muslims
should only vote for muslims''? A man who said, in 2001,
that ''why should christians be concerned when muslims
cut off their limbs under sharia''?. A man who said, in 2001,
that ''after all the limbs that are being cut off are muslim
ones and not christian so why should the christians bother
about it''?
This is the man that some Nigerians are clamouring for to
be their President? May God open their eyes and protect
them from themselves. May He grant them wisdom and
discernment.

At best you can only speculate that the delegates stayed away because they were paid to. That in itself is an indictment on the credibility of APC because if 1200 could be bribed to stay away, what will happen if 5000 delegates were bribed?

This is naija a land of many possibilities, thre is every possibility that d 1200 dat stayed away could also be shared among the contestants ,the ratio is what we dnt know. Look I am very much interested in a better naija as u do but listening to comment from outside will not take us anywhere. whre is d Australian negotiator today and d promise of ceasefire. broz APC av chosen a flag bearer d most important thing now is making the election free and fair as possible.

This OP is so daft that he couldn't even calculate well. How can you say Buhari had 47.5% votes of the total valid votes?! 7214 (not 7250) Delegates were accredited, 1206 Delegates didn't vote (and who told you they rejected Buhari?! If they rejected him, why didn't they vote another aspirant?!). Subtract 1206 from 7214, you get 6008; 16 votes were invalid (void), subtract 16 from 6008, you get 5992 (total valid votes cast). Buhari got 3430 which represents 57.2%. I.e, 3430/5992 multiplied by 100%. Where did you get your 47.5% from?! You're just too daft. I don't know if some of you enjoy being daft because I know daftness does not pay!

Oh thanks for the correction. It was a honest mistake. Will make the correction. The figure 57.2% of total votes is still far from convincing.

How is that far from convincing?! Do you know the amount of cash that trooped in during the convention?! Remember that the much touted Atiku had only 15.9% of the total valid votes. If other Aspirants had stepped down for him, his victory against Atiku would have been clearer than that of GEJ at the PDP Presidential Primaries of 2011.

How can you compare a man who won a fiercely competed election to a man who was so scared of election that he used his power to silence all his opponents? What happened yesterday shows a party who knows what internal democracy is all about. Does it not occur to you that all the contestants are same party men and all the delegates are now automatically loyal to GMB?

It is custom for sitting President to be given the first right of refusal by the party. This is what is what happens in other advanced democracies including America. Did you ever heard of Bill Clinton, George Bush, or Barack Obama contesting against opponents for their second term bit?
This is the system PDP choose to adopt. That was why GEJ was given the first right of refusal and was subsequently endorsed as the party's sole Presidential candidate vis-a-vis his position as the sitting President.

There is nothing like right of refusal in the PDP party constitution. Obasanjo underwent primaries in 2003, Jonathan also underwent primaries in 2011 so when was this famous right of refusal sneaked into PDP constitution? GEJ frustrated Kwankwanso, pushed Atiku out, blackmailed Gov. Babangida Aliyu, intimidated Gov. Lamido's children with EFCC. These are men who colud have given him a good fight in PDP primaries. PDP refused to sell presidential form to interested candidates (Abiola's wife and Tafawa Balewa's son) after collecting their monies, only for thesame PDP to turn around and isseu the forms after considering the legal implication of such an act.

Well, i dnt think the analyst is entirely correct. The fact that he was able to pull jst 57% within his party doesnt mean he can't win d general elections. I'll explain. The fact that a deligate did not vote for GMB in d primaries doesnt mean he will vote against his party (APC) during the main elections. They (the deligates) are still members of APC and will most likely vote for their parties during the general elections. You also need to look at the millions of Nigerians who are not deligates but are still sympathetic with GMB. In my opinion GMB has a clear chance of defeating GEJ, but i don't think he will. It's very difficult to unseat an incumbent President, with all the powers at his diposal.

Weeping General Buhari's true value lies in the comedic relief he brings to every election conducted in Nigeria over the past decade. Everyone informed about the existence and diabolical character of terror gang leader Buhari will no doubt be aware that he is a masochist and career election loser who actually enjoys being defeated at national polls, so as to have a ready excuse to weep again in public like a malnourished infant housed in a refugee camp, therefore it stands to reason that Buhari is as essential a freak side-show to any Nigerian election as are dry banana leaves substituting for toilet paper in a public latrine.

There have been several reactions by BBC correspondants and articles published on the wake of the Buhari primary win towards being the flag bearer of the APC in the incoming presidential elections.

The APC supporters here are not happy with some of the publications and opinions coming out of the BBC which suggest that Buhari will not win the election and also that Buhari has not got what it takes to transform Nigeria given his 30 year absence.

Now, the reaction I am seeing from the APC crowd here is total condemnation of the BBC and their correspondant who via his twitter account on the announcement of a Buhari win at the APC primaries, opined that the votes tallied for Buhari in comparison to that of the other contestants showed his weakness that is , that he does not enjoy overwhelming support within the same APC.

Now that is non of my business as I couldn't care less of who wields the broom come 2015 on behalf of the APC but what really got me on is the reaction of APC supporters quick condemnation of the same BBC that they use in castigating the Jonathan administration.

The APC crowd are hypocrites to say the least.

The same BBC and other b.s. MSM outlets like CNN and Al Jazeera false reporting against Nigeria and this current administration have been taken as facts by them only for them to now turn around to condemn the BBC because it opined that their flag bearer is not the right man for the job.

We shall also track down father christmass and shave his beard for he is a kafir and not worthy to wear a beard.

We shall then kill his ram like deers that he uses to draw his sledge.


Why is your faster christmass not riding a camel like our great prophet who owned a thousand but your father has goats as his chariot drawers. He doesn't even have a proper chariot with wheels. We Muslims invented the wheel and with out our knowledge of astronomy you won't even have ventured ino space. This is why western education is haram. It is full of stolen Islamic knowledge which the Jews stole from us and sold to the greeks for some shekels. We shall kill the Jews for stealing our knowledge.

Islam is peaceful.

We shall start the Saharan and Atlantic slave trade once our Kalifar Buhari and Caliphate is in place. Anybody not wanting to convert shall be sold into slavery.

We shall kill all the beer drinkers and women of no shame shall be stoned to death. Women driving will be haram. Any woman without a viel shall be lashed and sold to the worst bidder.

We shall introduced the Jizya on you infidels. You will not work for yourselves but for us. You will be prohibited to join the great Islamic muhajadeen forces. We shall rule you. Kafirs will be prohibited from holding office or position of authority. Only Muslims can study medicine or any degree courses. You will guard our herds of cattle and work our fields. The people of the Niger delta coast will be made to go on exile. Igbos will wear a red star band on their arm and they shall not be allowed to work in daylight.
