Eziachi:
Who did the ACN governor worked for in 2011, because last I checked Ribadu they fielded is still asking, what happened?

Eziachi:
And who did the South West gave their vote in 2011?

Demdem:

I have heard this several times however having an idea of the average psyche of our brothers up there i doubt if this will work. Let buhari raise Ribadu's hands as much as he can, he simply cant gather as much votes as what Buhari himself will gather. The guy is simply an enigma up there. its all about the numbers.

Wadeoye:

For reasons best known to the stakeholders. Acn is the party in south west and people here vote along that line. If the acn which is their rallying points says gej implicitly or explicitely, gej may still have his way. But will that ever happen in 2015 with the merger? Of course NO and not even with the failure of GEJ. South west dont support failure even if he is their son. So, forget about GEJ winning south west in 2015 and it will too bad if you cant read the handwritting on the wall already. And in 2015, a lot of people didnt bother to vote due to the silence of acn.

gboss4sure: If GEJ contest election in 2015 he will win.. So don't get your hopes up for nothing. You guys don't know tinubu at all. Every ACN insider insider during the last election of 2011 knows what am talking about.

take dat: Read somewhere that Buhari may decide to jettison his ambition for the merger to sail through. With Buhari's support for Ribadu, then its a done deal up north!

take dat: Guy, its people like you that gives Tinubu a larger than life image, he knows deep down that if he assist in truncating the merger his relevance will become worthless because they seem to be a lot of disaffection towards him right about now!

Demdem:

During the intro of CPC merger committee, he was quoted to have stated that the merger talks has no selfish ambition undertones whatsoever so its possible he may jettison it. It still doesn't change the fact that they will surely have less votes than if Buhari himself contested. I hope ur optimism becomes a reality.

lacasa: what people esp those that have a bleak perception of Nigeria's current situation is that;-

Nigerians need Buuhari more than Buhari needs Nigeria!.

If we really want a change in the way our country is being managed especially pertaining to curbing corruption, then Buhari is the best out of all the rest to efficiently do this!.


​ so ​, the Best and wisest choice for the opposition Is for a Buhari/Fashola led Nigeria from 2015 (God-willing).

And, after one term (considering Buhari's age) then Fashola should take off where Buhari would have left off ie Buhari should preside over Nigeria for ONE-TERM in office.

May God help us...Amen.

In which geopolitical zone was the survey conducted

fkaz:

Why do you think the middle-belt will vote for jonathan massively again?
Most of them voted jona base on religion and minority issue. Seen jona from a minority part, in nigeria context. But this man has fail in tackling nigeria nightmare, which is corruption.
So nigerian need some one who will tackle corruption and injustice, come 2015 buhari all d way

naijababe:

Ever heard the saying ' Once bitten, twice shy' sir?

Demdem:

pa Eziachi, in as much as i believe great igbo sons exist that can channel this country in the right path, i dont think talking about Igbo presidency in 2015 is the way to go considering the fact that we have Ebele Azikwe Jonathan as President. With due respect, Igbo presidency in 2015 is an impossibility.

pazienza: Now,let me expose the tribalism and regionalism,the two civil war bed fellows are trying to cover with a veneer of patroitism. The two bed fellows fought for a one nigeria they can control,with gowon and awo at the helm of affairs,it was mission accomplished. Fast foward to 2013,the two regions have lost out in the power game to a minority from the east,so they want the power back. This isn't about love for nigeria,this is about control of nigeria,a buhari/fashola ticket,to pave way for fashola's presidency after buhari eight years tenure,this is what this is all about.

ndu_chucks: Clearly, a vast majority of Nairalanders rightfully believe that the next President should come from the North. Kudos to you guys for recognizing this reality.

PointB:

My guy spot on.

That is why MASSOB and MEND should prepare to up their games, if they are indeed reading the hand writing on the wall. Have you notices in it all their is no plan to include minorities and resource owners in their equation. It is all about oil politics and access to the treasury.

But I believe though, it will all come to nought as the SW will wake up to the rude reality that they infact do not control the Lagos votes!

2015 will be very interesting!

nuclearboy:

I think what most Nairalanders believe is that Buhari should be the next president starting 2015! I also think they are right in that assertion!

Those expecting militants to say "its our oil" forget that the reason such ideas came up is because of the irresponsibility of past leaders in taking care of the regions that produce the oil! Interestingly, there has been NO difference now that their "son" is in charge!

Under an accountable, sincere and responsible Buhari who's seen to be doing the right thing(s), law and order will be restored!

This is instantly obvious to all but the laptop gang (and other human garbage) who are not interested in a honest days work, but want the present irresponsibility to continue

pazienza: The men from south west think we can't see through their veneer of patroitism, i can already see tinubu making buhari to sign an agreement to hand over to his yoruba vice,when he is through. These people have not learnt from awo-gowon scenario, Buhari is a power hungry coup plotter,he had once truncated our democracy,and he won't have any problem doing it again when the time comes for his hand over. Of course,this can never happen,as buhari and his south-west partners,will be silenced come 2015. Fresh air all the way!

pazienza: Buhari is a murderer and a coup plotter who truncated our democracy,in saner climes,he should have been hung.

nuclearboy:

Use the same criteria to judge - if Buhari, who accepted to take over a rapidly failing country and went ahead to restore to a great extent our pride as a nation in 21 months, should have hanged, tell us what should have happened to the man who seceded and cost 3 million lives because he didn't want the oppression that was the order of the day then!

I know at this point the barking will start, but take note, I ain't scared of dogs!

honeric01: @PointB

Why do you get hard anytime he name BUHARI is mentioned? what exactly scares you about him that's not lies/rumor/sentimental rubbish we read everytime?

nuclearboy:

Please ignore the deludee! I don't know how someone can make so much noise and yet say nothing! Aside the obvious (till today) exploits of the PTF, even the idea that this same person has remained the greatest fear of all those who are what's wrong with Nigeria is more than enough claim to goodness!
