The Story and The Faces Of Those Who Led The Global Campaign For Buhari
The bull and his baby sister who led Buhari's global social media campaign.
With regular tele conferencing and strategy based meetings in our office hub in London and US, the bull as we call him directed the focus of the global campaign targeting Nigerians to support the candidacy of GMB like it had never been seen before.
NLT CEO Anthony Akabogu JP & Nancy Keshy ran the most strategic savvy global campaign deploying money, tools, empowerment, strategy and a ruthless hypnotic based grassroot crowd global movement for GMB campaign all online focused.
From our WhatsApp global point and click first ever campaign for a Nigeria politician, we generated 2 Million undecided voters and carefully converted them to GMB supporters. Today they all made a difference in this Presidential Election, we are already deploying the same resources for the Guber Elections for the 11th April.
To our various social media campaign platforms: Twitter handle @Diaspora4GMB, Youtube platform & all our 24 hour admin manned information hub on facebook, we took information about GMB to Nigerians, these were vital verifiable positive information deployed to counter the lies from Jonathan, his wife and their PDP thugs with their e-rats.
From strategic media interview based branding of GMB to cutting edge in the face graphics by Nancy Keshy, we took Jonathan to a point of no return. All that the team did was place Jonathan outings right before Nigerians, we needed not to manufacture any lie against Jonathan/PDP contrary to what his campaign did to GMB for 16 years.
‪#‎HashtagCampaign‬
Nancy For her role, crafted, commissioned and deployed the 2 most talked about ‪#‎Tags‬ that changed completely the global face of our campaign which went globally went viral.
‪#‎Febuhari‬ & ‪#‎March4Buhari‬ was our work. These 2 Hashtags you will agree demolished whatever remained of President Jonathan. All credit to the number one sought after campaigner/ graphic designer cum media genius Nancy Keshy. Nancy who worked with the bull as he plotted Jonathan's massive vote out from 2010 to the result Nigerians have today. Initially she refused to work but it took great skills, precision, endurance and peseverance to bring Nancy on board, the rest is now history. The exit of the first ever massive vote out of an incumbent President in Nigeria cannot be written without the name of this great Nigerian(Anthony Akabogu JP) a campaign strategist for more than 3 decades.
Moving ahead!!
We commissioned and successfully launched the CALL A FRIEND PROJECT FOR GMB/OSINBAJO using attraction Marketing loop 101, this was another knockout punch against the baseless "BLAME IT ON BUHARI" campaign that Jonathan deployed. Nigerians got tired of the daily mudslinging of GMB by PDP e-rats, they wanted issue based campaign from Jonathan and got none despite all the advantages he had. We pushed him and PDP where we wanted them and the line to toe, once we had them hypnotised applying the strategy which is TELLING NIGERIANS HOW GMB WILL TACKLE SECURITY, ECONOMY AND CORRUPTION the coast was clear and became much clearer.
Apart from all that we did to rebrand GMB'S image using social media, we deployed offline face to face campaign, T-Shirt campaign, global city by city custom made thumb print campaign, we raised millions of funding for him simply by urging 2 Million Nigerians in our WhatsApp campaign who believed in us and the campaign we ran to donate to his campaign. Above all, all we did was self funded by one of the most passionate Living Nigerian ever.
PROTEST MARCH 14th February 2015
The "save our democracy" protest march after President Jonathan postponed the election was a huge success too. We led the march from Trafalgar square to Nigerian high commission to draw the attention of the west of Jonathan's plan to remain in office by further postponing the Election and removing INEC Chairman Professor Jega. This protest march worked better as we had patriotic Nigerians who travelled as far as scotland to be part of that epic moment. The reason why Jonathan accepted defeat was simply the fact that the noise that Nigerians made in the diaspora was not in vain. He was simply asked by the western Nations especially US & UK to to go hence the stance of the Nigerian people hungry for change. Never you think that Jonathan conceded defeat out of love for Nigeria or for Buhari. He was simply reminded the consequence of further holding unto power by the west.
A simple write up like this will not be enough to capture the essense of this campaign and countless sleepless nights and threat we had to endure to make it through each day.
We are going to capture all these moments through a video at some point.
We want to use this opportunity to thank those of you and you know who you are; you stood by us and deployed/ shared our work both on your fb profile, group and fb pages for the greater good of our country
For those of you who antogonised our team and unleshed a barrage of death threats, for those of you who called our CEO a "sellout" and not an Igbo man, sending death threats through his facebook profile and accusing him of what cannot be put to print, he sleeps better under immense pressure and hate.
Congratulations once again to fellow Nigerians who beleived in Buhari and voted for him. Change is accomplished and we have began the second phase which is to support his service for Nigeria but equally hold him to account.
NIGERIA COMES FIRST!!
