People have reasons for doing things. Personal interest, religious dispositions, the effect of others, the allure of the choice, and even risk (when you're between the devil and the deep blue sea, and you choose the sea because it may be more merciful, forgetting the devil can swim too.)

So, some people have made up their minds that come 2015,they'll be voting for Buhari. For several reasons, or none other than that he is not Jonathan, or that he is Muslim, or that he is not gay (are we sure about this?),or that he has a beard. All these are personal factors, and have no virtue in the art of ruling Nigeria. They do have the power of influencing personal choices of the electorate, and the electorate vote, I guess. But what are the political and functional reasons you would choose him over Prez Jona?
He is no stranger to the position, he's ruled us before. Whether that tenure can be considered a success I do not know.
So, why do you want to vote for Buhari?
State them and let's all reason together.
His party? His running mate? (vice presidents are really figureheads, keep that in mind)

Nice prospects. If Buhari is promising this, it reminds me of two things. 1, all previous presidents and governors have made the same promises, and 2,promise and fail.

But then, if Buhari promises these, give me one good reason to actually believe he doesn't cross his fingers when he says it.
He has ruled us before and if his tenure cannot be remembered for honesty, transparency, and zero corruption, why should we expect them now? And in what position are Buhari lovers and the APC to tell us about not being corrupt?
Re: Why Do You Want To Vote For Buhari? by elfaez(m): 3:32pm On Dec 20, 2014
The PDP and Prez Jona are very corrupt and and Jona has been criticised for being incompetent. But even though I don't think too positively of bros Jona, I want to know why I should think any better of Buhari. OBJ was competent ( I guess), but many Nigerians including me do not think he was a great president.
Questions abound.
How will Buhari rid us of Boko Haram?
What exactly will he do to alleviate poverty and reduce unemployment?
What will he do to make us more secure?
Our standard of living, how will he raise it?
How will he strengthen the naira?

Lastly and most importantly, WILL HE DO ALL THIS? history and the current state of Nigerian politics tell us NO. And no come tell me say APC is different. Aregbesola called his government 'unusual', little good it is doing us in osun state now.

GEJ till 2019. Haters should go and die. All this old men that won't go and rest. Why did buhari not appoint someone else? Must he be the one? Can't imagine voting for GMB. GEJ must complete his tenure, if this country wants to scatter it should. Old fool that won't go and rest, nonsense.
