God have mercy. Is this what bakare meant by saying 'darkness will envelope the nation by october. So, south western part of the country should be ready to welcome boko haram bombings by october and make the country totally ungovernable? It is now crystal clear that all these rhetorics about Gej is just about power grab and never about good governance

Say something else!

I wish them Goodluck in their merger talks . . . .

I was told that Adams attended the meeting that is why GEJ is nt happy with him; feeling betrayed by Adams
PoLiTics----the More You lOok the LEsS yoU ☻☺

Merger my foot .

People people, stop being pessimistic. At least let them talk and we would see what the merger entails. If it is likes of Tinubu and Buhari they would present then they know they have lost. If it is likes of Fashola, Oshomoile and Roachas they are talking about, then I believe we should give ACN/CPC a chance.

There is no point voting for someone from your ethnicity if he is not improve your life and the lifes of Nigerians.

Are the ACN and CPC not duly registered Nigerian Parties? If your answer is yes, then why can you not acknowledge that they are indeed allowed to merge without emotion-based and distastefully biased scaremongering? You guys can keep deceiving yourselves about the CPC.

Nigerians who don't lie to themselves know the Party currently embracing terrorism as a tool to fight others. Your President admitted that boko Haram has infiltrated all levels of his Government. You will need to tell us how many CPC politicians are in GEJ's Government, sitting with him at FEC meetings, "dipping their hands" and eating with him, etc, etc. It really is tiring that Nigerians are such emotional creatures who can continue to shout that they see "A" ridiculously when it is only "B" starring at them.

Hmmm! Naija politics....

Even if it is Apga anϑ Lp merging, no lele

As long as they achieve the removal of the "vampire party" PDP. i am game

CPC/ACN carry go jare! God help una

This has always been in the pipeline for opposition parties in Nigeria, who are always trying to form a coalition party to unseat the ruling party in office.

Remember the second republic,UPN/NPP/GNPP/PRP against NPN, the party in government. The opposition failed to agree to a common Presidential candidate and the ruling NPN party then won with a moonslide margin of votes.

In this current 4th Republic, at the 2011 General elections, CPC and AC, the opposition parties failed to produce a common Presidential candidate and were trounced by the PDP, the ruling party in office.

Now, for year 2015, we are hearing the same cacophony of noise about presenting a joint Presidential candidate, but at the end of the day, they will agree to disagree on this issue.

The above is one of the most cogent reason why the ruling party in Nigeria continue to treat the masses with disdain and apathy because the masses have no alternative to the ruling party !!!

Compare the above situation to the present political coalition in Great Britain, where the Conservative Party formed a coalition with the Liberal Democratic Party to unseat the Labour Government of Mr Gordon Brown and you will start to ask yourself, 'when are we going to have such politically savvy politicians in oppostion, who can reach agreeable compromise to wrest power from an inept party in Power?'

This is the fear gripping the blind and myopic supporters of GEJ who have now become PDP backers by default. They will not confess to that fear. Instead they will distractingly malign individuals (even done on NL) and make scaremongering statements most folks must view with amusement because of how it defies the truth on the ground.

What, for example, is the point of continuing to tag the CPC with terrorist infamy when most Nigerians, by now, know the truth concerning the "nest of killers"?

Im sure PDP's y.a.n.s.h is hot right now because of this piece of news. Nigeria hasn't moved forward since 1999 till date under the leadership of PDP. For this reason, they should be unseated. This merger will usher in a new era of genuine fresh air and not GEJ/PDP's fake fresh air.

Buhari/el-rufa/CPC are frontliners in tribalism, religious bigotry and a secret die-hard supporters and financiers of boko haram. ACN is gradually islamizing the southwest....check out all ACN states, muslims have dominated near all. From party executives to the state executives, senators, rep. members, assembly members, local govt chairmen to mention few. So ACN/CPC alliance is a calculated attempt to islamize nigeria. As for el rufai, he is a disgrace. Was he not part of the PDP govt? Was he not guning for presidency under PDP. He is an opportunist and a lousy traitor. let see how the merger will go and comr to think of it they are even planning a muslim/muslim ticket......jokers

Has anyone in the SW complained to you? You won't find many in the SW who care about the religious practices of leaders. Rather, it is the performance of leaders that matter. You cannot invoke any fear of "Islamization" amongst a people secure in themselves and coexisting in tolerance.

Gbawe leave dr raymond alone let him continue to post is baseless observation.who cares if it is muslim-muslim ticket?as far they can deliver what the citizen want it is ok by me

Wether they complain or not,just watch out.Do not talk much.Religion and ethnicity is a strong factor especialy the Bokoharam factor.I voted Action congress but I will not this time.If Action congress is wise they should avoid Bokoharam directly or indirectly,but its unfortunate that they have given PDP a good mouth for propaganda

My brother, the closest thing to boko haram now is PDP. I am not wise but I know that PDP and boko haram connection is glaring.

How have they given PDP a good mouth for propaganda ?

Oh no!! How will ACN win anything without your considerable support, Mr..

Erm, who are you again?
