The surest way for PDP to loose this coming election is to present Bukola (senete president) or Atiku former VP as there presidential candidate. U think people has forgotten the way u looted Kwara treasury or how Atiku loot Nigeria treasury. Am not in support of buhari but I think a known devil is better than unknown angel. Don't forget that the past local government election last year in Kwara was won by the opposition but the sitting governor uses his power to twist the result to favour them. Let wait and see how this is going to play out in the coming general election.

Somebody should please beg saraki to come and contest against PMB. grin

The way he will be beaten blue black, nobody will tell him

But of course the LMC (looters media crew) members would encourage him to contest since they love supporting fraudulent people and thieves.
Buhari is fraudulent for promising us good health care sector. Only for him and his son to go abroad for treatment. That is fraud and hypocrisy!

Pity yourself that you have a country where Buhari can beat Saraki in presidential elections.

No thanks to the rigged and lopsided political structure of Nigeria created by northern Nigeria's military dictators loyal to the Sokoto and Kanem Borno Caliphates.

How did you come to know who are looters and fraudulent between Buhari and Saraki?

Headache is real





He has not even started campaigning oh




He's just speaking of problems in the country and probable solutions



People are already planning to hang themselves



He probably won't run yet, buh if he does




And he wins eventually, even your personal life will be better than it is at the moment



So far that evil in Aso rock did not set in.

Ebullience:
Senate President Bukola Saraki is considering running against President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.

Saraki, who had earlier hinted at running for the highest office in the land, told Bloomberg in an interview that he had been consulting widely.

In the last one week, the senate President has visited ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo and former military President Ibrahim Babangida.

Saraki said he would need to win the ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to actualise his objective of leading the country.

He defected to the PDP from the All Progressives Congress (APC) two weeks ago.

The senate president accused the APC of not managing its victory well, saying his new party could make a difference.

“I am consulting and actively considering it… I believe I can make the change,” he was quoted to have said.

“The PDP has learnt its lesson from the loss in 2015, and I think unfortunately the APC did not learn from their victory.

“While negotiating with the PDP, we listed a number of issues. We talked about how to sustain and improve the fight against corruption; the issue of providing more powers to the states; inclusion and having a more nationalistic approach on things we do; to continue to improve the environment that will ensure investments. We listed a number of items during the discussions with the PDP, and there is a written agreement to that. We trust that we can hold them to that.

“We would ensure that the party is strong on security. The APC too have not done well on the issue of security. We have the opportunity with the right kind of presidential candidate and president to provide the leadership for the party. The party has a good opportunity to lead the country in the right direction.”

He also spoke of the Department of State Services (DSS) blockade of the national assembly, wondering what would happen during the elections.

“If a government can go and lock up an arm of government — and it’s never happened in our history — we should all be very concerned… we should not be surprised that they would use security agencies for elections,” Saraki said.

“There has been a persistent disregard for due process and a lack of neutrality for some of these issues. For you to have credible elections, you must have safe elections. Security agencies are actively getting involved in the politics.

“The fundamentals of whatever we are going to develop is going to be based on sound democracy, credible elections, freedom of choice of Nigerians. If we don’t have that as a foundation, then everything else cannot happen.”

Saraki also alleged that investors have lost confidence in the Buhari government, criticising the current administration’s handling of fuel subsidy.

“Most of the inflows that have come in are merely hot money, and that is because the oil price has gone up,” he said.

“Investment in the real sector is not seen. The private sector, in my view, has probably taken a position that the confidence is not there in the government. The country requires a government that is truly pro-business, and a president that sees himself as a chief marketing officer.

“If we are going to have a subsidy, we should have a budget for subsidy. Because once we have a budget for it, the private sector can also play a role in the importation of petroleum products. And if the private sector plays a role, definitely the cost of the subsidy will go down and there will be more efficiency in the delivery of products. But in the environment we are in today, where it’s only the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation that’s doing that, it’s going to be inefficient, it’s not going to be transparent.”

Nigerians should not be discouraged by those saying that our votes won't count. Yes we know INEC is loyal to his paymaster buhari/apc. But we must satisfy our conscience by voting who we think is credible. For me,it's neither buhari nor saraki or atiku. If more reliable people don't come out to run,I'd rather stay home and watch movies that day.

Saraki is part of Nigeria's problem. We cannot continue to go around in a circle, with the same set of people who've stolen from and destroyed this country. Saraki should run. It is his right to do so.

SOWORE HAS MY VOTE, notwithstanding, and here is why:

Sowore is an outsider. President Sowore would be the real change that Nigeria needs.
Sowore will be a radical departure from the status quo
Sowore is not experienced in government, which is a good thing. He's not experienced in stealing
Sowore is not perfect. He is human. But, he has sacrificed for our country. Exposing corruption, speaking truth to power, and escaping several assassination attempts shows his commitment to doing the right thing.
Sowore will fight for the poor. He will reposition our country, away from what the old dumbos have been doing.

Again, I WILL VOTE FOR SOWORE. I ALSO COMMIT TO CONVINCING ATLEAST 100 PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR SOWORE IN 2019.

That has been his ambition all the while. There is nothing wrong in having ambition, but don't be sneaky about it. Don't selfishly hold 200 million Nigerians hostage to your selfish ambition. Resign or be impeached! Your new party is in minority, there is no way you can preside over the majority. Saraki will now find out how unpopular he is.

Saraki, a traitor! treasury looter! a national robber! a legislooter! Never again will God permit another energy of Nigerians to rule us. Nothing good can ever come out of Saraki, Atiku and their likes. My prayer is that God almighty will in His infinite mercy choose His own leaders (God-fearing ones) for Nigeria. None of these useless people can take us to our promised land.
