Peter Obi is correct. Buhari is already senile and this is why he claimed the military board has his certificates. He thinks that we are going to believe his fabricated storyline.

Vote GEJ until Buhari becomes younger! Buhari can't steal my youth and then steal my adult years too.

The age of the leader does noy matter but what he will offer. If Gov peter Obi says we should not vote any leader above 70 years old, have the leaders below 50 or that age as per GEJ and his ilk made the country better? Your age does not matter but what you will offer the people when you get there.

Point of correction! Peter Obi said progressive countries not the least third world countries U are mentioning their poor leaders. Let me put it clear to U: all APC loyalists are supporting the party either out of sheer sentiment or ignorance in terms of Presidency. How can U open ur God given mouth to mention a despotic and dictatorial leader like Robert Mugabe and fellow African leaders who have over d years dominated their subjects to highest degree of cruelty,animality, barbarism,despotism,ruthlessness, sadism and high-handedness. Am not a political freak or any party's loyalist but am an altruist....filing for greatest good for all! That the President is quiet and runs an all inclusive government gave birth to a collection of e.dogs who go about exhibiting their bad manners, discourtesy, impoliteness, rudeness, and unmannerliness even when they are ill informed! Where were U neophytes when Obasanjo was in charge of this country, or that you kept mute because he had a military prowess! Retrace ur steps! Datz my candid advise for you and your cohorts!
Well said.

[b]You have not objectively assessed GMB to make these conclusions above.

Remember Buhari's regime only lasted from December 31, 1983 – 27 August 27, 1985. Barely two years. Even at that, he stabilized the inflation rate and stamped out misappropriation of funds from the Shagari era.

Apart from being a military president, He was
1. Governor of the then Northeastern State (August 1975 – March 1976), under Gen. Murtala Mohammed;

2.Federal Commisioner (Minister) of Petroleum (March 1976 – July 1978) when the Warri and Kaduna Refineries were built; and

3. PTF Chairman (1993 - 1998). A 1998 report in New African praised the PTF under Buhari for its transparency, calling it a rare "success story".

No portfolio the GEJ had held in history has had a success history close to GMB's performance.

GEJ promised Stable Power in 2011 and Refineries in 2012. Where are they?

Do your research before you decide.
Even in the New Year sermons in churches today, they asked congregants not to vote based on religion but on performance.[/b]

[quote author=Chigold101 post=29392919] Peter Obi is that man whom OBJ could not handle.
Peter Obi is that man that first changed Nigeria‘s electoral calender.
Peter Obi is that man who OBJ shortchanged by puting Ngige tofavour the Ubas but Obi stood his ground until he recovered the mandategiven to himby Ndi Anambra. OBJ used PDP controlled Anambra house of Assembly to impeach him, he went back to court and reclaimed the mandate the second time.
Peter Obi is the only governor ever in Nigeria‘s history who governed a state for 8years without collecting anyloan. He never issued a state bond. He is the only Governor whom when he was about leaving office told everybody in his state, the banks & account numbers of anambra state acounts foreveryone to valify the claim of leaving billions of naira for his successor.
Peter Obi is that man that man who after governing a state for 8years with many battles against OBJ‘s boys for the first 4years left Anambra state a wealthy state... Thank GOD for Obiano who is really building on the foundations of this great man (whom i never liked) PETER OBI...
3 times OBJ removed him, 3 times he went to court and he won those 3times...
Modified... To Mr Obi...
Mr Peter Obi, Okwute Ndi Igbo... Happy new year
And now he is in bed with the same OBJ and the Ubah clan/PDP that denied him his mandate, impeached and humiliated him?
The same PDP that chased justice Salami under his leadership, the Court of Appeal reinstated him whenever PDP kicks him out.
The one that rigged Obiano into power and months later abandoned him, even before he could collect the keys

Because of their exceptional qualities during service. But in this case, there's nothing exceptional about GMB, only that he killed via coup our nascent democracy that would have blossomed by now. I will always have this at the back of my mind as a true Democrat and i can't adorn him with a garb of democratic system.

Not justifying the 1983 coup....but that Second republic makes this one look good by comparison sometimes.

Witness how they wrecked Nigeria Airways for instance.....and how they rigged elections to the point that violence was ever present in 83.

It wasn't about PDP, APC or whatever party, they don't matter to him. Peter Obi has said he will do whatever it takes to make sure GEJ wins. For a fact, you can hardly hear him discussing PDP, but he will always tell who cares to listen that Goodluck has the ability to lead our nation to where it should be; and the best way he could ensure that is joining GEJ's party, simple.

He called on Nigerians to elect President Jonathan who he said has what it takes to take the country to the next level in its development.

Who the heck is Obi? I hope is not that tribal and religious bigot and an ex-governor of Anambra state. Oh! So he will one day be in a position to ask and canvas for favour from Nigerians. I thought he will not leave his state.

Anyway his message is dead on arrival. #Sai Buhari 2015

Not the same vote GEJ not PDP again?
Candidates are products of the party that produces them as long as, there no option of independent candidate.
Tell me how many local government GEJ can win without PDP? Then you can come with your theory?
Let see what Obi will say if GEJ is not in power or Obi himself was to be denied access to Aso Rocks. Obi is like a hooker who claims to love her client.

Why didn't baby Obi run the presidency himself with APGA rather than joining the gravy train?
And God doesn't belong to you and neither can you speak for God.
We knew how your God dealt with Absalom when he felt that David was too old and should make way for him.
Queen Elizabeth is still on the throne when her son and grandchildren could have pushed her off the throne. And how old is the governor of Ebonyi? No one has kicked him into the lunatic asylum.

If GEJ is a good leader according, who is his opponent s age your main concern, rather than focusing on what makes him leader.

A lot of people like me vote because of the candidate and not the party. If GEJ cross-carpets to APC today, many people like me will still vote him. Obi was somebody before GEJ became president and he never depended on GEJ for anything personal. Rather, it is GEJ that needs him judging by his personality and achievements in Anambra state. Obi is a great asset to the presidency having held a position in the economic team even while still serving as a governor.. What does that tell you about his quality? Obi had to be begged by Okonjo, GEJ, Wike and co to come and contribute at the centre.
Obi is one of our credible public figures who still has integrity even after holding a public office for 8years. He was about retiring from politics for good before being sought after by the presidency.

No Chinese leader since Deng Xioping was below 70 years of age when they assumed office. In fact Jiang Ze Min was in his 80's when he assumed the leadership of China and the Chinese economy not only grew but became an export oriented economy and the second largest economy in the world.

His being alive today is to go through humiliation. In a free contest, buhari cannot win Me,Yes! Yes buhari can't win. Any politician will secure his first political victory having buhari as opponent.

OBJ & Peter Obi are notin the same camp in PDP... OBJ is in APC at heart...
PDP worked for Obi in 2010 and also worked for Obiano in 2013...

Riging OBIANO to power... U r funny sha... Obiano wasnot riged into powerin Anambra state. Ndi Anambra voted for him because we are now wiser.

His campaign promises are 4Cs... Which are as follows:
1: Continue (Project left by Obi)
2: Complete (Project left by Obi)
3: Commission the projects &
4: Commence new projects...

Ndi Anambra couldnt take the risk of voting in someone who will come and stop ongoing projects because there is no community out ofthe 177communities in the state without one or two projects going on...
