[Buhari working age is 72. Then as a Nigerian, put his ojoro there, he may actually be 80]

Who is 75 year old? Clark or who?[/quote]

With all due respect Pa Clark, you as a senior citizen of this country, who has benefited immensly from it, from the first rebublic till date,should not at this time be whipping up ethnic sentiments just because you want to score political points. I think itt's beneth you as an elderly and educated man. Please always try to moderate your utterances and act like the elder statesman that you are supposed to be.

But it's obvious APC was formed to return Nigeria to the hands of the north, If not why would a man like Fashola, or Oshiomwhole, or Okorocha be in APC, yet a semi-illiterate like Buhari became APC presidential candidate?
but come to think of it since 1999
the south have ruled for abt 15yrs nw and d north only two

Comment like this from an elder stateman is quite regretable. I thought he knows the difference between statement of result and certificate. In a statement of result you can attach any picture or you might not even attach any depending on the school requirement. Certificate is issued once in a life time with no replacement if missing. Sentiment apart the problem of this country is coruption. If a man says coruption is not stealing then a responsible person should becareful voting such a man cos he will never tackle coruption since he is corupt. I ve clearly said it that bring ethnicity into this election will not help gej cos they re in the minority. Even bringing religion into it won't help him either. It can only end up further dividing this country. Gej doesnot need to waste our resources on advert , character assasination if he believe his work can speak for him. A good comodity doesn't need so much advert

APC is gonna die once the election is over...mark my words..I'm more interested in 2019 election. It's obvious a northerner won't be APC's presidential flag bearer and when that happens, watch how all this northerners will move out of APC en masse and join whatever party that has a northerner as their presidential flag bearer..That's when you people's eye will open..But anyway, I don't give a damn and lest I forget, No vacancy in Aso Rock...GEJ_Till 2019 cool

This is true also of the PDP. The moment Good luck Jonathan made himself sole candidate for the PDP, the PDP shrank to one-fifth it's original size and became the Jonathan Re election Party (JRP). The JRP cannot win up to eleven states even when you add three south west states (winning three south west states is very remote for PDP although Lagos votes are going significantly to PDP for governorship they will never translate to Jonathan for Presidential).
The old Obasanjo trick of selling the machinery of the party to an incumbent president is what has destroyed PDP for ever now that Jonathan has tried it.

Winning the apc primaries was based on the candidate's followership. Buhari came into APC wit all the machinery of CPC, so it's only natural they support him. Tinubu came with ACN which supported Buhari's candidacy. What did Rochas come with for him to have won? Democracy is all about popularity and followership. The West is comfortable with any man of integrity being president. I don't care where he's from.
What chance does Rochas, Oshiomole, Amaechi or Fasola stand against the incumbency of Gej?
For pdp... The fear of Buhari is the beginning of wisdom. Because he's a recurring decimal. He's that Shit that just won't flush.

ABUJA- AHEAD of the Presidential and general elections slated for March 28 and April 11 respectively, former Federal Commissioner for Information and South South leader, Chief Edwin Clark claimed yesterday that the All Progressives Congress, APC was formed with the sole aim of installing a northerner as the president of the country.

Speaking yesterday when he received the leadership and members of the Yoruba Youth Council, Worldwide at his Asokoro residence, Abuja led by its National President, Comrade Eric Oluwole, Chief Clark who noted that APC would no longer function if its Presidential candidate was removed from the party, said, ” APC was formed to install a northerner as the president of Nigeria. You saw what happened at the Presidential primaries of the APC where Buhari emerged with very wide margin. Without Buhari, there will be no APC. ”

The Ijaw leader who took a swipe at the APC Presidential candidate, said that he was not fit to fight corruption‎ as he has been campaigning all around, said “Nigeria belong to all of us, no tribe has the monopoly of ruling us. Nobody is a second class citizen. We all are first class citizen of this country.”

While commending the youth organization, Clark who noted that it was the first time in the nation’s political history that a large youth organization such as YYC would identify with the government of the day, especially with someone who hails from the minority, said, “Nigerians will only allow a democratically elected President. Buhari in 1983 overthrew a democratically elected President, Alhaji Shehu Shagari because he got the wind that Shagari was going to hand over to a Southern President.

“Buhari lied over his certificate, even the picture on the certificate is older than the certificate. How can a person accused of perjury be talking about corruption.”

Earlier, President of Yoruba Youth Council, YYC, Eric Oluwole who disclosed that they were endorsing President Goodluck Jonathan’s re- election bid and prepared to work for his victory, said the council was fully committed to the return of Jonathan to Aso rock come May 29, adding, “The YYC‎ has endorsed Jonathan to return as President. We want continuity. We will not allow a 72 year old man to determine our lives for us.

“There is no alternative among other contestants that is as genuine as Jonathan. His achievement in yoruba land is tremendous. Everyone can see d good work of Jonathan.
“The achievements of President Jonathan in Yoruba land has far out-shown that of any government in Nigeria since 1999 no matter the commitments of certain quarters to demystify these giant strides.”

The group continued, “Our visit here today is to acquaint you of our decision to declare full support for the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan and to mobilize all the Yoruba Youth throughout Nigeria, whose views and convictions go a long way in re- moulding public opinions.

Through thorough deliberations we resolved on the dire need to return President Goodluck Jonathan as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, because looking objectively as it is today, there are no alternative in all the contending Political parties that are as genuine and focused as President Goodluck Jonathan.
He may not be an example of perfection but he represents today the most available and well positioned messenger in protecting our long won democracy and all round economic advancement that Nigeria anticipate.

“The Achievements of President Goodluck Jonathan in Yoruba land has far out- shown that of any government in Nigeria since 1999 no matter the commitments of certain quarters to demystify these giant strides.

Looking at developments in Yorubaland alone aside enormous achievements all over the country. Lagos- Ibadan expressway which had always been a reason for complains in ages, now witnessing monumental reconstruction and expansion.
Benin-Ore-Shagamu expressway had never ‘witnessed this type of reconstruction since 1999. Apapa – Oshodi Expressway now has good Testimonies, Akure- llesha road in Ondo state, everyone can see the goodworks going on there.

In the power sector, we have seen the construction of new Power plants, viz-a-viz Omotosho and Olorunshogo phase 11, which are part of the 6 new generating Companies constructed by this administration, whatever is remaining with power is to perfect the transmission and distribution logistics with new private companies and there will no longer be power outages.

“The Yoruba Youth Council (YYC) Worldwide specially shows unreserved appreciation to the President Goodluck Jonathan for the ingenious approach to fighting unemployment which is NOT exclusive to Nigeria but world over.

With the advancement of Technologies that make large corporations to no longer need large army of workers. President Goodluck Jonathan had bravely encouraged our youth through creative industries, he approved a special support scheme for the creative industry and directed Nex-Im Bank to provide backing for the Industry.

“Many creative industries have benefitted from this initiative. The Jonathan Administration, through the Project Advancing Creativity and Technology (PACT) in Nollywood, has provided a N3 billion grant programme for Nollywood. In 2013, the fund supported capacity building and Illm production in the industry.

About 120,000 youth already employed so far in the SURE-P Program, about 4,000 Graduate Internship Scheme (GIS). Over 2,300 winners from SURE~P, these are all benefits to the Youth.
Mr President has proven himself beyond doubts as a good and sincere leader, in one of the meetings we had sometimes ago with our Afenifere leaders \ as YYC principal body in Yoruba land, the contents of the resolutions of the National Confab were discussed to details and we were able to see much clearly that as soon as we start implementing these resolutions, especially as we commence the second term dispensation of President Goodluck Jonathan, by Gods grace.

All the major challenges that confront this country will become history. We refer to Unemployment, Industrialization, power outages, more condusive environment for businesses to thrive, etc. We want to appreciate
“Mr President specially for the Egbin power plant that was inagaurated by him in Lagos at Ikorodu recently. Nothing less than over 8 millions of Yoruba youths will cast their votes for President Goodluck Jonathan.”

In politics, you use your opposition's weakness to become your strenght. It is a game of numbers.

Same Buhari contested with Jonathan in 2011 and against Yar'Adua in 2007, so what's the issue.

In you PDP's sympathizers world, GEJ should not even have an opposition. He should run unopposed.

Its just disgusting when someone says something clearly wrong about members of the APC even if its a national issue, that person becomes a 'PDP sympathizer'...mind you I don't like Jonathan and his administration of corruption and I am happy as regards the strength of the opposition because this will make future presidents work and know that Nigerians have an option. If I am to score Jonathan, I will score him 20/100,...yes as a Nigerian I deserve a president who can give atleast 70/100.....as for Buhari I can't even score that one because to me he is not qualified to even sit for that exam.....

On the contrary. Be honest with yourself and tell me a Fashola wouldn't beat GEJ hands down in March. Now replace Fashola with Buhari who has lost thrice?

What is the benefit of picking Fashola when he won't be able to win in the north or Rochas who can't even win in the south south or southwest. APC installed the best candidate with the best chance of pulling votes from all sections of the country, forget tribal/religious sentiments and think for yourself!

If you have a sincere heart and you are aware of the politics in APC from inception, did you think Rochas would have won the ticket...
Before they did any primary, the party had clearly stated that the Presidential Ticket will be zoned to the MUSLIM NORTH...
Rochas being a typical igbo man, took the governorship ticket of his state gave his brother inlaw to hold it for him. Trying to deceive other igbos to support APC they now gave him a presidential ticket, knowing very well that he will lose the primary and go back to pick up the governorship ticket from his brother inlaw.
This is what happened exactly, Rochas lost the primary as planned, went back to his state and told his brother inlaw to step down for him, now he is going to be governor of his state.

Truth be told GMB is a formidable opponent & even d PDP knows it. No Nigerian alive can giv d PDP a run 4 their money like d General. His choice as presidential candidate is a masterstroke by d APC. dis smart choice by d APC made d election a referendum on d performance of both GMB & GEJ while in public office. While GMB inherited a nation at d brink of total collapse in d worst economic recession in our history but thru sheer ingenuity turned d economy around, GEJ inherited a nation in times of relative peace & plenty but turned it to one of more divisiveness & a veritable factory 4 producing more tribal & religious bigots & a nightmare 4 d poor.
Our nation owes d Jagaban, Amaechi, Okorocha & other progressives tons of gratitude 4 coming together & rising above religious & ethnic bigotry to break d evil strangle-hold of d so-called largest party in africa, d dysfunctional PDP. These patriots along wit detribalized Nigerians ar d future of our country
To d informed, d decision in dis election is easy & pretty much settled. SAI BUHARI
