I recall vividly, after the APC ward elections, Metuh offered to provide to the APC technical support and assistance to enable them conduct free, fair and peaceful elections. Whereas the APC conducted elections in the 36 states and only 2 states had their elections postponed. When the Apc amended their party constitution , Metuh was on air castigating the APC as a party that lacks the capacity to rule, by amending its own constitution. Whereas the PDP primaries in all the 36 states could be best described as ; shams,poorly organised, rag tagged, roforo, free for all, coronation of constitutional monarchs or imposition of handpicked flagbearers. The PDP and Presidency were indeed extremely surprise with the conduct, organisation, peaceful, credible, transparent, cordiality and peaceful outcome of the APC Presidential. The PDP is full of deceits, hypocrisy, propaganda, spreading of falsehoods and twisting tales to make them look logical and real to deceive

2-Metuh and the PDP will never stop to amaze Nigerians and will seize every opportunity to whip up religious and ethnic sentiments.GMB has never campaigned on the basis of religion, ethnicity or tribe. He has always campaigned on issues of governance, corruption, national devt and warn against rigging of which he has been a major victim. GMB has participated in 3 elections agreed. Several including Abraham Lincoln , Ronald Reagen, Abdoulaye Wade (Senegal) Laurent Gbagbo( Ivory Coast) John Kufour , Prof Atta Mills (Ghana) President Lula (Brazil) have all contested elections several times and eventually became President. The question here is that, the 3 times GMB contested, did he loss in a free and fair elections? To wit, what were the SC verdict on the 2003 elections? Political. What was the SC verdict on the 2007 elections? A moral and split decision of 4 for Yara Adua and 3 for Buhari. In the 2011 elections we witnessed the massive rigging especially in the SE and SS were we had returns of over 90% voters turnout and 99% of them voting for Goodluck in an election which the general national voters turn out was less than 45%. We had situation where Akwa Ibom, Abia, Imo, Rivers, Delta, Cross River, Enugu, Anambra were having voters turn out larger than Lagos, Kano etc.
Metuh , we want the PDP to set the standards and focus their campaign based on records of achievement and report cards instead of constantly whipping up ethnic and religious sentiments just to distract Nigerians.. If you have been in government for 16 years, show us the roads you have done, the schools you have built, the water you have provided and the projects you have executed.
Nigerians must refuse to reduce our politics to politics of religion; whether the man is a Christian, or a Muslim or a pagan. Our actions as Leaders rather than our rhetoric will show whether we are believers in God or not.
America has the highest crime rates and prisoners in the world and Japan and Saudi Arabia has the least crimes and prisoners in the world. There are more prisoners of Anambra state origin in Nigeria and abroad than indigenes from Zamfara , Gombe, Katsina states combined. The problem of Nigeria is not religion. The problem of Nigeria is to produce leaders who have conscience, who will
put our nation first, Not leaders who will always transform themselves into constitutional monarchs, their wives Empress and their parties Communist party devoid any internal competition at the highest level. Their modus operandi has always been , competition at all other levels, but consensus at the top. PDP is a goner and will be history by May 2015.

Try to be fair to both sides when you want to judge. You only sound like a one aided tout.

3-The man that registered Nigeria as a member of the OIC is a member of the pdp board of trustee. The pdp national chairman today introduced sharia law in Bauchi state in 2001. The vice president of the pdp was accused of knowing about the romance between Senator Ndume and boko haram. The former National Security Adviser to Jonathan told the world that boko haram is a pet of the pdp. The presidential panel set up by Jonathan to look into the pre election crisis of 2011 told the world that the INTERNAL WRANGLING in the pdp coupled by the failure of the pdp led government to punish those that commits crimes in the past was responsible for the 2011 pre election crisis. Senator Zannah whose nephew a boko haram kingpin was arrested in his house is a pdp member. The former ambassador to Sao Tome who was linked to boko haram was also a pdp member. Those that threatened to make the country ungovernable if the north did not produce the presidential candidate of the pdp in 2011 because of the ogboni arrangement in the pdp called zoning was and still a pdp member LAWAL KEITA. Nigerians that have not sole their conscience to pettiness and sentiments know those behind boko haram.

4- The problem with Black Africans mostly from
Nigeria is pretence and the inability to confront the root cause of their problems.
We tend to chase shadows by complaining about symptoms rather than deal with the real issue. The problem with Nigeria is neither PDP nor APC but on the
structure traced back to the 1914 amalgamation. No building can stand on a shaky foundation. Nobody owns Nigeria and therefore nobody is patriotic about it. For people to experience good governance and good standard of living, Nigeria MUST GO for Biafra, Arewa and Oduduwa to emerge. Britain called us tribes while we were/are nations with different shared values and political systems which are characteristics of progressive nations such as USA, UK, CHINA, SWEDEN, etc. Biafrans believe that all men are created equal before God (Igbos have no king), while the Oduduwas and Arewa believe in monarchical and feudal systems respectively. Singapore and
Malaysia separated and today Nigerians are dying to study and live in Malaysia.
India is developing because they separated from Pakistan and Bangladesh. Nations are built on a common culture and shared values. USA constitution was written by only two person because both of them have same ideology. What is wrong with BLACK AFRICANS that they cannot reason properly? Until Nigerian youths take their future into their own hands and begin to ask questions about existence of Nigeria, they will continue to wallow in hopelessness and perhaps in their usual mantra "One day God will do it for us".

5- I feel deeply sorry for millions of Nigerians, whose psyches are being played on like a
chessboard. Fed with repeated lies in desperate effort to perpetuate looting of
the nation-Nigeria Plc. The only reason why a typical anti-Buhari Nigerian
won't vote for him is because he allegedly once made an unconfirmed statement:
"I will make Nigeria ungovernable if I don't win the next(2011) election". Did Buhari ever made this statement? Of course, no. And all top Nigerian politicians across parties know this. But it's the only lie that sounds strong enough to discourage voters
from voting for a person, who might get looters jailed, if he becomes the
nation's president. Politically motivated lie, it is, repeated and repeated several times to make the public forget that they were lies. As it is written in Roman
3:13:"Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive.”
“The venom ..is under their lips.”
The lie peddlers know that most Nigerians are not current. Not many read newspapers. Neither do they have time to confirm history. More time is spent on sending silly pictures on Facebook. Lie peddlers know this and so exploit the modern behaviour of modern Nigerians to their evil benefit.
THE TRUTH
There was no point in history, when Buhari ever said he would make Nigeria
ungovernable if he did not win an election. It's true certain Northerners made
statements similar but not exactly what many uninformed Nigerians have been fed
to vomit around like sick fowls. Those who made the statements are PDP members to claim that after Yaradua's death, it was still the turn of the North to produce president. The people are still alive. They are Alhaji Bamanga Tukur and Alhaji Keita. It's got to do with PDP constitution regarding rotational presidency between North and south, not
Nigerian constitution.
And who fabricated the lie against Buhari? It was no person other than GEJ spokesman, Reuben Abati. But following the first publication of the lie, General Buhari
did not take it lightly, as his name and integrity matters to him. The retired General instituted a libel suit against Abati and The Guardian Newspaper for
damaging his name.
What followed?
The Presidency begged Buhari to settle the case out of court between Abati and
The Guardian, which Buhari accepted. Below is the post-settlement publication and retraction by The Guardian and Reuben Abati:
GUARDIAN Re: For the attention of General Buhari
Thursday, 11 July
2013 Editor
SIR: “On April 22, 2011, The Guardian Newspaper published an
article on page 51 titled “For the attention of General Buhari” wherein certain
allegations were made against General Muhammadu Buhari’s alleged role in the
violence emanating from the elections. The publication was based on information
which we believed to be reliable at that time. Since the publication, however,
we now have reason to believe that certain parts of the story were not verified
to be correct before the publication.
We assure General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) GCFR of our highest esteem and regret any distress or embarrassment which the said publication may have caused him.” — Editor
The above could be forgotten quickly, because, unlike GEJ, Buhari has no lie-peddling
spokesperson. My advice is that Nigerians, notwithstanding their political party
affiliation, should open their minds. GEJ and PDP politicians (indeed let me say most top politicians) across parties know the cause of Boko Haram insurgency. They know it has got nothing to do with the poor and upright General Buhari. But like I said earlier, they know Nigerians are very forgetful. Their strategy is to modify a truth of history
and circulate it around, knowing fully well that most Nigerians of today don't have time to confirm facts of history. That's why I remain sorry for millions of Nigerians, who are daily deceived and divided by tribe, tongue and religion so that those, who are keeping the nation captive can continue to loot the nation and never pay for their past loots.

6- Why Nigerians must vote out Jonathan in 2015 –Fani-Kayode,
Qestion:
Are you saying there is nothing that the Jonathan administration has done?
Fani Kayode:
Tell me what you think it has done? I don’t think there is anything it can clap for itself for. Absolutely nothing. Every single sector has degenerated.

PDP is dying. Every day the party is dying and they are behaving like a chicken whose head has been cut off and is just flapping pa-pa-pa. This is the last kick of a dying horse,”

Despite the huge amounts of money that we have made as a consequence of record high crude oil and gas prices and sales, we only have approximately $40 billion left in our foreign reserves five years after. We have less money in those reserves today than we did five years ago despite the fact that we have earned billions of dollars within those five years.

He has spent so much money on security yet what has he provided? Less security! Where has all the money gone? That is number one. Number two, you don’t measure the performance of a government that is in power by saying that no government has ever faced this type of challenge before.

That is a cop out and a very lame excuse. He has been elected and he swore an oath to protect the Federal Republic of Nigeria and to protect the lives and properties of the Nigerian people. If he can’t do that he should just step down and go home. In any case, he is the one that made the whole situation infinitely worse by not being decisive right from the start.

Initially, he was calling Boko Haram his ‘’siblings’’ and he took a position of complete weakness and helplessness when faced with their tyranny and terrorism. Some of us spoke out at that time that he need to handle these people with a firm hand, but he and his officials accused us of being alarmists. Instead of doing anything he said that they were his siblings and that he couldn’t kill them.


This statement was made just few months ago..
How come Jonathan has suddenly become Fani Kayode light...

This poster is a big APC BIGOT. My question remains; why can't APC give us a clear manifesto, rather than going about attacking PDP?
