Does It Mean That If Buhari Is Not The Winner, An Election Is Not Free And Fair? by Prestonvic(m): 12:09pm On May 16, 2012
Please nairandlers i have been thinking. If GEJ decides to contest in 2015 and win against Buhari without rigging. Will it mean that since buhari is not the winner, then the election is not free and fair so there must be violent and killing of innocent Nigerians

Why?

The Why ? would require some insight into our greed endemic culture . . .The politicians engage in sharp practices one way or the other to come out tops . . .so when they lose . .they assume their opponent prolly out did them in their corrupt or rigging game . . .

But there are instances when overwhelming sentiments and distrust doesn't favor certain people . . . but yet, they still harbor that feeling that they should have won . .maybe due to their false huge emotional and financial investment hoping for a win no matter what

I can remember in the last election, buhari never compaigned in most of the states in Nigeria yet he wanted to win in those states. How possible is it?

In October 1, 2010, there was a bomb blast during the year’s independence anniversary celebrations, with attendant deaths of many Nigerians. Without waiting for any preliminary report from the Security Agencies, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, as President, told a traumatized Nation, “it is not MEND!” Meanwhile, MEND is the name for the militant group from Dr Good-luck Jonathan’s ethnic extraction that had in the immediate past waged relentless and potent insurgency against the Nigerian state but had been placated with more slice of the Nation’s resources ceded to the region. Indeed, MEND impugned the President’s statement and admitted responsibility.

So far as President of Nigeria, Dr Good-luck Jonathan has shown very generous affinity for Nigerians of Ijaw stock in terms of appointments and promotions in the Federal Public sector. There is a marked lopsidedness that smacks of clannishness and ethnocentrism by the President!

On Corruption and sleazy tendency, the Jonathan administration transcends all others before it! Nigerians are still befuddled by the impeachable show of arbitrariness by the regime in expending N2.67Trillion on fuel subsidy instead of the appropriated N240Billion in the 2011 appropriation act. As expected, the regime has attempted all manner of subterfuge to give Executive cover for the indicted people in the scam, who were the bank-rollers of the President’s electioneering campaign. Could it be that the missing money was funneled deliberately to the Jonathan Presidential Campaigns, with the acquiescence of the President?

GMB was quoted as saying that the Jonathan-led Federal Government is the greatest Boko-Haram. Understandably, this elicited awful response from the President. In a jejune, puerile, and very pedestrian communication, the presidential spokesman defined Boko-Haram as “Western education is sin” and went on to posit the administration’s investment in Education. How awkwardly inane could that be?!

It is common knowledge that Boko-Haram has become the euphemism for subtlety in devious schemes that cause mass killings of the innocents! As GMB aptly stated, Boko Haram has three variants, with varying degrees of severity and murderous content: the original Boko-haram that seeks to avenge the extra-judicial killing of its Leader by the Nigeria Police; the Boko Haram that pursues criminality for monetary gains and of course, the Political Boko-haram that is bent on setting the stage for ethno-religious pogrom in the Nigerian nation. It is the Political Boko Haram, with its extremely lethal content, that the Jonathan-led Federal Government represents!


In January 2012, Dr Good-luck Jonathan told a bewildered nation, still smarting from murderous Bombings, that his government has been infiltrated by Boko Haram.

In February 2012, a serving PDP senator from Borno South (Mohammed Ali Ndume) was arrested for being a member of Boko Haram.

In March 2012, Ndume deposed to an affidavit before a Federal High Court wherein he stated that Vice-President Namadi Sambo was aware of his activities with Boko Haram.

In April 2012, General Andrew Owoeye Azazi , the National Security Adviser, averred that there was indisputable proof that Boko Haram is PDP. As things stand, President Good-luck Jonathan is the national leader of PDP.

In April 2012, Henry Okah (while standing trial on Terrorism charges) deposed to an affidavit before a South African court that President Good-luck Jonathan was the sponsor of the October 1, 2010 bombing at Eagle square. It is on record that as governor of a Niger-delta state, Dr Good-luck Jonathan (together with his brother governors) had used the MEND to command the attention of the Nigerian state.

An election where the he wins in his household and declared winner all over Nigeria, is the blood-lusting bigoted sadistic Mohammadu bin Buhari bin Laden's definition of free and fair election.

His absolute disconnect from reality will keep earning him laurels in the losers corner!

@O.poster,
i want to believe you have asked this question with all sincerity of purpose.
after the most fraudulent election in the history of man in 2007 which brought jonathan and the late yar adua to power, there was a decision to make nigerians happy by setting up an electoral reform committee headed by uwais. prominent among the recommendations of this committee are;
1. that the inec chairman and his appointment be made independent of the presidency - by this, no player or team will be responsible for appointing a referee in a game he will play in. how does it sound when u know that i am the one appointing the inec chairman in an election between u and i?
2. that elections be held at least 6 months before swearing in. this will allow the aggrieved parties to sort out things in the court before one gets sworn in. in that case, nobody will be using the state's funds to employ 1000 sans in a single case.

how can u say prof jega conducted a free and fair election when many elected politicians have lost their positions since then and how much did that election cost nigeria and nigerians? who did jega accounted to afterwards? how many ppl died in the free and fair elections? in my state imo, revrend fathers had to declare a state of emergency which saw them positioned themselves at every voting booth and inec office to make sure ohakim did not rig himself back to office. what about state where rev.fathers did not have issues with the govs or constants? what cpc was asking of inec and jega was, u said it was a computerised election system, bring the ballot papers for a forensic test at least machines can tell nigerians how many times a particular finger voted in a particular position.
we are nigerians and we know it is not possible for jonathan to appoint an inec chairman whom he gave over N100B to work against him.
