Thank God. This is a good news. Jonathan till 2019 is sealed and delivered with this decision. Lagos state vote will be evenly shared unlike what fashola would have gathered. For sure amaechi cannot even get majority votes in rivers.

I believe that the best form of leadership is one that leads by example not a do as I say leadership. GMB for all I care can't be bold enough to allocate a billion for food judging by his body frame nor looking the other way while his associates loots our common wealth dry.

What are you saying. You think the elites who cause the singular largest corruption bloc donot know what Buhari and co have done. He may be an example to ill-informed people who take 20 naira from the cookie jar but he is certainly not an example to those who matter. Those who knew what he did last summer. And the circumstances whch led to the abortion of his anti-corruption experiment 30 years ago are still very much alive in Nigeria. Now if he is able to mobilize the masses like you said by exceptional leadership, fine. How can he mobilize the rest of his party compatriots who are less than squeaky clean. How will he be able to 'control' the opposition. How will he be able to control the excesses of the legislature. This is demoracy remember where elected officials are no more than 'first among equals'. Do you know just how much compromise he will have made in the run up to Teslim Balogun. Then he will turn back and bite the fingers that coronated him. Please, please, I'm not a child. It just doesn't work that way and I'm very, very worried that he has adopted the 'coming messiah' status in the eyes of Nigerians. What if it doesn't work out as you think. Nigerians should be realistic and work out their expectations themselves a well. A good majority of Nigerians rejoiced at his removal in 85. Even in suffering you will think, how could this be.

[size=18pt]Buhari gives VP slot to Tinubu[/size]

on December 12, 2014 / in News 7:50 pm / Comments


Muhammadu Buhari, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), according TheCable, has conceded the slot of his running mate to Bola Tinubu, national leader of the party.

This has in effect diminished the chances of Chibuike Amaechi, governor of Rivers state, who was all along tipped to be the vice-presidential candidate. Further discussions are going to be held this weekend, but a quick decision may not be reached.

The party still has up till December 18 to submit the name of the nominee to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Buhari’s decision to give Tinubu the slot is apparently based on the voting population of the south-west which he is banking on to upstage the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2015 presidential election.

“Politics is not winner-takes-all. Tinubu worked round the clock to deliver a huge chunk of votes to Buhari in the primary, and it is only fair that he is honoured in return,” an aide to Buhari said.

Tinubu, TheCable can further report, has not foreclosed the choice of anyone as the VP candidate, but he is opposed to Amaechi – although the Rivers governor has made the biggest financial contribution to Buhari’s campaign.

“Rumours that Amaechi has been chosen as the running mate are not true in any form. The running mate will be announced soon.” The chieftain further said “If the party exco settles for a Muslim/Muslim ticket, Tinubu himself will be the number one choice. If not, then Adams Oshiomhole stands the best chance among the rest.” He ruled out Babatunde Fashola, governor of Lagos, who is also a Muslim installed Oshiomhole, Edo governor, as the odds-on favourite for the running mate slot, slashing his chances from 8/10 to 8/9, while dropping Amaechi’s odds from 9/10 to 5/10. Here is a line-up of the TOP contenders

Losers in making. Even if GEJ is incompetent,
he is still better than a fanatic that wishes to
islamize us. As the deputy Governor of Bornu
said, if any northerner votes for PDP he is a
disgrace, I also said that if any body from the
east ,south and middle belts vote for APC then
he is a slave to the born to rule bigots.

the fact that you most likely answer the same name as myself 'Austin' is why i feel most disappointed with the garbage you posted up there. The Fanatic accusation against the general is, as you may well have noticed, stale.. You really need not embarrass yourself writing up jargon all in the name of supporting your clearly incompetent (in your words) leader. You either support this wind of change or get lost abeg..!

The choice has always been btw Amaechi or Fashola. In terms of votes, Fashola wud av garnered more votes. But this campaign needs a rugged man like Amaechi to fire frm all cylinders. Tinubu, Fashola & Osho baba shud always b on the campaign train though to assure the SW that they will not b left out in the scheme of things if APC win.
Its a good news for a stronger combo to match the incumbent rascal for rascal, money for money, no more perceived islamisation agenda.

You know you are not funny,so you mean a state governor that depends on Aso rock to hand out stipends at the end of the month would be able to match a man who has control of the federal resources,money for money and do you know quite well that the amount of stipend the centre gives out to the component units inclusive of the local government every month is actually less than 50 percent of the amount shared every month while it keeps the balance to itself,they have all the security apparatuses to use.Mr man wake up from your slumber ok.Also it would take a miracle for JONA to lose this election because a sitting Nigerian president would always complete his constitutionally allowed tenure and is even more powerful than the almighty American president because he has so many excesses that cannot be controlled if he decides to use all his powers.
The worst case scenario is that there would be a stalemate in the election and then the case would go to the Supreme court and you know what will happen there,you guess is as good as mine.

That is to show you how desperate majority of Nigerians are just to see the back and end to GEJ lead government. I have my personal reservations about GMB. But one thing I'm certain of is that GMB is|will be an improvement over GEJ. For GMB to assume messiah status blame it on how poor GEJ performed.
Re: BREAKING: Buhari Picks Amaechi As His Running Mate? by eagleeye2: 8:11pm On Dec 12, 2014
Buhari & Amaechi........ I will rather Vote Buhari & Fashola (islamization or not).
Moreover, the Northern elites will never trust a man like Amaechi.
.
Now, where is Tinubu going to fit in? We have not forgotten about Odili who brought Amaechi into politics ( is just like someone choosing Ngige) the Godfathers are not stupid to fall for this.
Buhari cannot be controlled by anyone, we all know that, and he is choosing a man (Amaechi) who has the potential of not being controlled by anyone also.......No No. Nigerian politics is still about Godfatherism and King making, I can bet it that this combo will not fly.
.
Anyways, 2015 is not far. Even this shall come to pass.

He was removed in 85 by greedy people who eventually brought Nigeria to where it is today. Buhari/Idiagbon regime is the type needed by Nigerians then and it was working out fine until the glutons came on board.
