It is no longer news that Lagos was shut down
when the President kicked off his reelection
campaign at the TBS in Lagos. Here are some of his
quotes during his speech that stood out.
1) This is the party that is giving political strength to
all Nigerians. Already you have been told from
intelligence reports that some people are already
cloning cards so that your voter’s card will no
longer be relevant. Is that the kind of people you
want to take over government? (Crowd shouts
NO…!)
2) Nigeria must move forward, Nigeria is for the
youths. Nigeria is not for old people like us. The
young generation must redefine this country. We
must take this country to where we want it to be.
Nobody can push us backwards. The past is past.
They have led us backward and backward.
3) In fact when we were young, we were told that at
Independence, Nigeria, Brazil, Malaysia, Indonesia
and even India were all at the same level. That was
what we were told when I was in the secondary
school and the university. Now all those countries
have left us behind and now some people want to
take us backward. Do you want to go backwards?
(Crowd shouts NO…!) Nigerian youths do you want
to go backwards… (Crowd shouts NO…!)
4) Young Nigerians were doing things fantastically
well, they were acting films and these very people
were snubbing them, they were playing music and
these very people were abusing them. But we are
encouraging them and the world has accepted
them. Do you want to move forward? (Crowd shouts
YES…!) Do you want to go backward? (Crowd shouts
NO…!)
5) I told you I was going to address things and I will
be very brief. They talk about insecurity. That they
will fight insecurity. And you will ask are our armed
forces weak? Are the Nigerians in the Armed
Forces weak? If we have problems what is the
cause—equipment. And somebody who wakes up
and tells young people of 23 years old that he wants
to fight insecurity, ask him when he was the head of
government did he buy one rifle for a Nigerian
soldier. (Crowd shouts NO!…)
6) If somebody tells you that the best way to fight
corruption is to arrest your uncle or father and
show him on television, well, you won’t stop
corruption, you will even encourage corruption. I
used to tell people and I will also address press
conferences so that people can ask me direct
questions. Armed robbery is still with us, despite
the fact that we are shooting (death penalty) armed
robbers. Is that stopping armed robbery? (Crowd
shouts NO…!)
7) They say to be strong is to jail people
indiscriminately for 300 years. Is that where you
want to go? (Crowd shouts NO!)
You will ask some of those people who are
deceiving you now and who hired some people from
outside the country to go on social media and tell all
kinds of lies, that when they were in power did they
build any nursery school for anybody? (Crowd
shouts NO!) Ask them, ask them, I say go and ask
them.
9) If they did not build nursery schools for anybody,
what did they use our money for? They built prisons
or universities for you? I will build universities for
you, I will build secondary schools for you, I will
build primary schools for you.
10) So they will draw a line and start fighting
corruption after they cross the bridge. Only two
days ago, somebody stood in Port Harcourt and
said he was going to catch people in the streets and
throw them into Kirikiri.
11) The same mouth says something from the right,
and from the left, making contradicting statements.
Can you trust those people? (Crowd shouts NO!)
Are they not deceiving you? (Crowd shouts YES!)
12) Somebody wakes up and says “O, Nigerian
women I am going to give you position.’’ And you
ask him when you were a Head of Government, you
had a cabinet, I have the list of the cabinet
members, there was no one single woman. Not
even one in the cabinet.
13) It is either we vote to be prisoners as we were-
and I will tell you maybe some of you do not know,
in 1983, I don’t know for the young people, some of
you who are writing all sort of things on the social
media. In 1983/84, what they called discipline as a
post graduate student instead of reading my book,
the whole night I queued up to buy two tins of milk.
And they say that is discipline.
So we should make you queue up the whole night
as students to buy two tins of milk? Is that the
discipline you want? (Crowd shouts NO!)

is this one joke or what...

while....gej till......

GEJ is a Lier..

He was Busy Attacking Buhari's Personality that reeks of Anti-corruption and Integrity

Neglecting to tell us what he achieved in Lagos State and All over the Nation.

GEJ Can't be taken serious

Vote GMB/PYO...

For the Desired change ..

Buhari go claim Nigeria, I'm sure GEJ is the worst president so far since democracy.

Nigeria must move forward, Nigeria is for
the
youths. Nigeria is not for old people like us.
The
young generation must redefine this country.
We
must take this country to where we want it to
be.
Nobody can push us backwards. The past is
past.
They have led us backward and backward.
Then what did GEJ want, how has he been able to move us forward.
Are we going to stop killing mosquito Cos we still have them around us. So Why did he condemned killing of robbers.
I will build schools. how many has he built in the past years

He spoke as if he's campaigning for the first time. Can't he sing the praises of his past achievement

Whether GMB or GEJ, Nigeria must move forward. Our comments on Nairaland has no bearing on the eventual winner or loser. So please stop personality insults and focus on issues. If this country will erupt in chaos let the principal actors not live to see that day.

He claims he is old n naija needs younger brains. Y e still wan contest Does dt make sense?
plus y is he stressing on fighting corruption if voted again, ow far did e fight it in 6yrs
