Lmao!

The write-up is a fraud, and it wasn't officially written by Brookings Institution. They're just excerpts from an op-ed submitted to the institution, by a guy named: Jideofor Adibe.

And apparently, Mr. Jideofor Adibe is a Senior Lecturer at some University in Nigeria, named: Nasarawa State University. Just his opinion, and not that of Brookings Institution.

Anyhoo, why are Nigerians so fraudulent? Trying to tarnish the image of an highly regarded Institution, by attributing junk op-ed (Mr. Jideofor is entitled to his opinion) as the official statement by the Institution. This is basically junk journalism, propaganda, and deceit. More reason why I don't read Nigerian newspapers.

Describes APC as a fragile anti-Jonathan setup


BROOKINGS, the world’s most influential think-tank based in the United States, have projected President Goodluck Jonathan’s victory over the opposition candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, in the February presidential election, which it suggests would be keenly contested.

The analysis, context and rationale of the think-tank’s projections were contained in the Brookings publication entitled: Foresight Africa – Top Priorities for the continent (January 2015).

“Though the election is expected to be very competitive, the odds still favour President Jonathan.”

According to Brookings, the All Progressives Congress (APC) is a fragile anti-Jonathan establishment with a sole purpose to return power to the north.

“The party is, however, a fragile one that seems united only in its quest to wrest the presidency from Jonathan or to have power “returned” to the north.”

“The APC gets much of its strength from tapping into anti-Jonathan sentiments in the Muslim north and grievances among the Yoruba who feel that the Jonathan administration has ignored them in key political appointments.”

The report also indicated that “the APC’s strategy is hinged on a combination of popular votes from the North-West, North-East and “the battleground South-West” but also hinted at the possibility of Bola Ahmed Tinubu not delivering the region contrary to speculations.

“What remains to be seen, however, is whether Bola Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State who played a pivotal role in the formation of the APC and is considered to be the party’s strongest mobiliser in the South-West, will be very enthusiastic in delivering the battleground South-West to the APC during the elections.”

“Tinubu indicated his interest in being the party’s vice presidential candidate but being a Muslim like Buhari, the party’s strategists felt that a Muslim-Muslim ticket might offend Christians and cement the PDP’s labelling of the APC as an Islamic party.”

[/size]On President Jonathan’s performance: “despite Boko Haram, the country is thriving: The economy continues to grow and with the re-basing of its GDP, became the largest economy in Africa and the 26th largest in the world. Jonathan’s supporters also point to his success in containing the Ebola virus, which earned him commendations from countries and institutions around the world.”

The Brookings report also identified factors such as incumbency and numerical control of states where PDP has 21 states and APC only 14 as giving PDP an edge.

“The greatest strength of the ruling PDP is its “power of incumbency,” and all the institutional support that goes with it. Not only does it have federal resources to use as patronage, it also controls key institutions.”

The report advised that all efforts should be deployed to ensure a free, fair and transparent elections and to avoid a meltdown as post-election violence seems very likely.

“Post-election violence is therefore likely in the north if the APC loses while renewed militancy in the restive Niger Delta is likely if Jonathan does,” the report noted.

bigfrancis21:
Comparing Jonathan vs Buhari, Buhari seems no better candidate. Nigerians might actually be enjoying now compared to who knows how Nigeria would be under Buhari. Fielding no better candidate than Buhari, Jonathan should continue until Nigeria is ready to produce better quality presidential candidates.

Guidette:
WHY JONATHAN CANT WIN IN 2015
1. He has maligned the core north of Hausa and Fulani labelling them as power hungry. I can see 90% of them voting for APC.

2. He and his cronies have castigated all muslims in Nigeria and enveloped them as blood sucking terrorists. Meanwhile roughly half of the country is Muslim. I see 95% of of them voting for APC.

3. He and his followers then decided to become dumbasses of the century by focusing on rotten smear tactics that have reached a new low. I can see more than 99% of reasonable, literate and intelligent people voting for APC.

4. On a whole Jonathan has underperformed and destroyed critical areas of Nigeria in terms of economy, security, infrastructure,etc. I see patriotic and well meaning Nigerians voting 100% for APC.

Now tell me how Jonathan can win the election.

Sai Buhari!!!

b1327:

You have how many PVC if I may ask? Your vote is equals to one in case you don't know.
Mind you, we are in Nigeria, how sure are you that your one vote will count?
You should grow up and talk about yourself and not everybody.

Dewze:


I am sure he does not want to remain in one place, but he wants to move forward ,even if slutfully, and not backward. I do not believe that Buhari, at his age, can contain Tinubu, Atiku and Ameachi after they get up there.

Note:
I do stand strongly by this; who or whatever the people want, they should be allowed to have and nothing or no one else should be forced on them. If the people want GMB, GEJ should not be forced on them. If the people want GEJ, GMB should not be forced on them. This is Dewz's political stance.

thegoodone2:
its difficult to belive but GEJ will retain the postion.
