Can't PDP just for once sit down and think ?
.Long before APC made any announcement as to the choice of Buhari's VP they've been spitting so many tantrums in the air just to dent Tinubu's emergence. Now their focus is to talk down osibanjo's chances to deliver all because he once serve under tinubu.
PDP should continue to yarn Gibrish with their "Issue Based Campaign". . .I will embrace this opportunity made available to me to stand for change at this critical phase of my Nations desire to Rise from the doldrums of Toxic RULER-SHIP.

Look at these fools defining incompetence. Traitors are defined not by themselves but by the people they betray. PDP have betrayed us all and we cannot say because of fear of the unknown the devil you know is better than .........blah blah blah. Incompetence is defined in our current level of insecurity, free fall in naira, naked corruption, usurping the rule of law hence rendering the Judiciary increasingly prostrate, interference in the functions of other tiers of government (specially the states) etc. PDP has no moral right to call other groups incompetent because the opposition has not had the chance to rule Nigeria but by God's grace that chance will come in 2015.

It is a pity that the average Nigerian while educated is still an illiterate. Maybe democracy isn't the solution to our problem, this is because I do not think every human of an age capable of exercising their right to elect the leaders of the government should be allowed to.

I can not but wonder (and shake my head) when I read some comments here and on similar forums (and blogs as the case may be).

The average Nigerian will jump on the preposterous bang wagon of senseless innuendoes and vituperation without thinking about the validity and logic of their utterances. This is probably the result of the kind of education we have in our tertiary institutions.

For the PDP (Mr Olisa Metuh) to insinuate that choosing the vice-presidential aspirant after six days is a sign of incompetence warrants a thorough examination of his cranium and associated faculties.

Barrack Obama the epitome of all that is good to President Jonathan (as seen in "...Barack Obama is doing it... GEJ is doing it" campaign) took almost two months to choose and announce a running mate. The links below are references you can check:

in this electoral season I would implore everyone to engage in reasonable discourse rather than sentimentally biased arguments (or e-arguments) that will not move us forward as a nation.

My dear, sorry for the below comment, but it is a fact with practical analysis.
Your invention with the above names (JONATHAN and BUHARI) is very untechnical and it also
failed to pass a prototype test.
REASONS: the words "Jonathan" and "Buhari" are public names, which means, you insulted people that bear the name "Jonathan" and praised people that bear the name "Buhari"
CONCLUSION: go and modify your invention in order to suit the persons' names that you anti-campaign and pro-campaign for.
Leadership with capacity faces untechnical criticism while leadership with strength faces technical criticism...
Let us join hands together and make Nigeria a better place.

worlexy:
I was even thinking that PdP have sense. Why on earth will you be taking panadol for another person's headache, with this senseless press release from PDP, I hereby declare to cease supporting PDP henceforth. We need fresh air, let another party rule Nigeria

Well said but you may need to read GMB's speech again. He is not coming to 'rule' Nigerian but to 'govern' it a democtraically in accordance with the constitution. Can anyone match that?

Change is truly here. A new Nigeria in the making.
