Political Scientists in the house, pls explain this move to us; Is Mr. Speaker moving forward or backward?

Bros, being a Speaker or number 4th Citizen is just a mere title. He would still be loyal to the Governor of his state because he controls only a Constituency, while the Governor controls the whole State. If not that some Speakers are just too corrupt, they shouldn't be anywhere near the Governors when it comes to money.

I don't see APC smelling the presidency
They are very disorganized and immature

derecho:
pls show us the spread of his followership then I'll explain why Buhari can never win.

If I go all ahead to tell you this will turn to an essay. [b]As it stands the many followers of GEJ are either from the Southeast, Niger Delta or PDP members around the country which are a negligible few among 170 million Nigerians and few paid agents. It doesn't require rocket scientists to know many Nigerians are fed up with the PDP led federal government today. In 2011 GEJ rode on the sentiment of no shoes/humble background but please agree with me without bias that uncommon sympathy died long ago. Many people who thought he will fight corruption and establishment thinking he was not one of them have become very disappointed. Suffice it to say many fall into this category. The only tool the PDP cum thievery elite uses against Buhari is gradually crumbling because it is becoming stale and many are getting wiser. Look at the state of our economy today and ask who brought us here if it's not the same PDP that you expect Nigerians to thumbprint for come Feb next year. Peep into how EFCC fared in the past 6 years and tell me of any low, medium or high profile government corruption case that have passed reading stage in any court even when majority of us know corruption is what has brought us the erstwhile giant of Africa to our knees. Do you know the so called transformation TAN has been parading about will be washed away like the sands of time just few months of GEJ leaving power with the culture of impunity and free for all looting he is leaving behind? Nigerians except religious, regional and political bigots, once again who are negligible few are tired of the many lies of the PDP and Jonathan will gladly vote them out of power next year. Guess you must have heard of the phrase that says only a fool will do same thing same way all the time and expect different results. Just let INEC conduct free and fair elections next year and watch Jonathan pack his baggage out of Aso Rock and see how Buhari move in if his party gives him their ticket.[/b]

Change can come when emotionally and physically ready, capable and willing, strong willed, selfless, tested and trusted leaders are voted into power.

derecho:
Unfortunately,these qualities,though not enough, are lacking in those people only mouthing Change.That said.The point many of you fail to see is that people have continually questioned the so-called integrity of Buhari.
Let's analyse these "qualities"
Are Boko Haramist emotionally and physically ready to unleash mayhem?Are they capable and willing ?Will they selflessly die for the cause of trying to Islamize Nigeria?Have they been tested by their paymasters?Can they be trusted to make the north east ungovernable by those who sent them?
The point my brother is that the devil can also like many politicians promise Heaven on Earth.Let's look at the Messenger before considering the message.Change need more than those things you mentioned.Tnx

Actually that is regression in this context. But going for presidential position pits him in a lose lose position considering the formidable opposition in his party and the current chap at the helm of affairs. Therefore a governorship position is a win lose position and finances incurred are considerably reduced.

Nigerians will continued to be given reasons why Buhari cannot rule yet they have never given us reasons why they have failed serially to drag us from the dungeon we have found ourselves since 1999. Give me 20 reasons why Buhari is un-electable and I will give you a hundred reasons why GEJ have no business being there. If I may ask which Nigerians rejected this Buhari, TAN members and beneficiaries of the current heist going on? Whether anyone likes it or not Nairaland is a microcosm of Nigeria, let Seun organize a coordinated opinion poll on Buhari and GEJ for 24hrs and let's see the outcome. Am a Niger Deltan, even in my next life I will choose a Buhari over a GEJ any day anytime and I know many who will do same.

derecho:

So if a poll is organised on nairaland and Buhari wins,that will prove he is more popular?Bros,i'm an objective person.Though Barcanista did something similar (https://www.nairaland.com/1998766/nairaland-progressives-lets-endorse-muhammadu )and it proved buhari wasn't popular even on nairaland.But I won't base my argument on that.
If you have read the article and were open-minded you'll understand why.It's not about TAN.Or do i need to be a TANist to know,as a christian,that Buhari doesn't love Christians by his utterances and body language?If an igbo man for example believes that buhari hates igbos,can you stop him.Please appreciate that people are entitled to their sentiments.
The articles spells out why BUHARI HAS BEEN LOSING not what you want us to see.Tnx

From being the 4th citizen to a mere governor of a mere sakwoto state.

I laugh in Arabic.

Maybe Atiku should also be persuaded to contest for the governorship of Adamawa state or Fashola should contest for the chairmanship of Ojo local government

Caseless:
what a ponce are u. Tel me what happened to Gali Na'aba, Masari and bankole- they all nursed governorship ambition and, like we heard, bankole is still on it. Atiku, in 1999, won the governorship election in adamawa b4 he was hand-picked by obj to b d vp.
What are u sayin?

Pataki:


Sometimes it is best to ignore some of these ignorant gnats. What would be most shameful is seeing the most populous black nation's president going from Aso Rock to his village Otuoke and soon afterwards to Kirikiri.

If I were GEJ (God forbid), he should start a prison's reform immediately.

Brother leave all propaganda and politicians alone. I have tasked someone who labored for days in vain to show us quoted context where Buhari made several speeches from any online source. Buhari has been loosing through rigging and rigging alone. That's why I used free and fair in my comment. As it stands today many Christians will vote their conscience and not religion. Am a Christian but will choose Buhari over GEJ even in my dreams.
