Who cares if a bunch of old politheivchians got any pact or not if such does not mean better lives for the citizens? The masses and other political parties would have called the bluff of any useless pact if Gej had done well but Jona neither kept the mafian pact nor did he keep faith with the masses so he was given a bloody nose by a very large chunk of the Nigerian press,the commons and soldiers, some nobles and most importantly Gej's karma( Wike, PEJ, ffk, asari, PDP, Alison,Clark, 'stealing is not corruption', immigration fatal scandal,eponzi Iweala etc) in 2015.
I love this.

Contesting for second term was his legitimate right.

There are many examples like that in the country.

ivandragon:
the comments & positions of GEJ as contained in the book further justifies the position of Nigerians to deny him a 2nd term.

its just too bad that PMB was chosen as the option. a classic case of frying pan to fire.

And the frying pan is better than the fire.
What should we do to those who pushed us into the fire, like Tinubu who was hoping for VP in order to position himself as Acting president and finally president when his sick Buhari would have exhausted himself.

You are correct.
Despite unprecedented amount of money came into the country purse, the clueless one could not win.

He performed very badly.
He is a disgrace to common man on the street.

Obasanjo did exactly the same thing in 2003 and killed Atiku's ambition forever as a result of having to prostrate and beg him for support in exchange for his own support to Atiku in 2007. Obasanjo changed his mind on that also.
Fashola and Tinubu had a similar story in 2011 about whether Fashola agreed to do only one term or not and Muiz Banire was Tinubu's choice to replace him.

Yeah.

Obasanjo brought and forced on nigeria a half dead yaradua and the clueless one as his vice.

One can see clearly why yoruba leaders rejected obasajo representing them as president.

Does Buhari have integrity?
A man who claims to be fighting corruption but has failed to publicly declare his assets as he voluntarily promised unlike Jonathan who did so alongside Yar'Adua?
A man who protects corrupt people and clears them before our senators. He has done so for Magu and Babachir Lawal.

Did Obasanjo not win the south west overwhelmingly in 2003 with PDP sweeping the governorship and legislative elections except for Lagos state?
The rejection is what you have fantastical invented.

That 2003 was rigged election.

Obasanjo lacked the ability to conduct free and fair election.

Save yourself the stress.
Find the book and read it.
Wait for Jonathan to deny he said these things AND sue for defamation.
Until then, the excerpts from the book are true.

Fashola got second term because he performed very well in his first term.

While jonathan didnt get second term because his performance was very bad.

Your consolation story.
Was their an agreement with the Alliance for Democracy, AD that held sway in the south west?
Yes.
Was there a presidential candidate for AD in 2003 as a result of the agreement with Obasanjo?
No.

Why did Obasanjo have to rig in the south west?
Again, I say that is something that you have fantastically invented.

Your personal opinion to which you are entitled.
Others are also entitled to a different opinion that Jonathan performed well in

- reviving our agricultural, automotive and railway sectors.
- Implemented minimum wage increase and proposed fuel subsidy removal/ deregulation,
- conducted free and fair elections,
- interfered less in other democratic institutions and tiers of government- state and local governments.

Buhari has only recorded success in continuing the initiatives of Jonathan. Nothing new. Absolutely nothing new that is positive except indecision, confusion with over five exchange rates leading to round tripping by the cabal and leading us into recession.
We jumped from frying pan into fire. Surely.

If you have comprehension challenges, simply own up.
A single term of seven years instead of the four he was currently serving would mean a single tenure, not so?
