Why Muhammadu Buhari will win - Aljazeera

Buhari remains the single most popular man in northern Nigeria. Despite lacking real party structure, Buhari, with CPC in 2011, defeated Jonathan in Yobe, Borno, Zamfara, Sokoto, Niger, Kebbi, Katsina, Kano, Kaduna, Gombe and Jigawa. He single-handedly polled a total of 12,214,853 votes, which amounted to 54.3 percent of Jonathan's tally. Riding on the back of APC's nationwide structure backed by 14 governors and their war chest, a Buhari victory in 2015 is quite possible.

Buhari is popular outside the north as well. Four days after he created his Twitter account (@ThisIsBuhari), he had already amassed 45,000 followers. This is testament to Buhari's growing national - not just northern - acceptability, because the north remains Nigeria's least literate zone. The north, therefore, has a sparse population of Internet users, which means that Buhari's crowd of Twitter followers probably come from across the country.

In truth, Buhari cannot take full credit for his popularity outside the north. Full marks should go to Goodluck Jonathan, the man who has unravelled as the antithesis of his opponent's unique selling point.

Presidential spokesman Reuben Abati can deliver the floweriest prose about his boss's aversion to corruption while his colleague Doyin Okupe hurls the foulest words at the opposition and other Nigerians daily puncturing the president's professed incorruptibility. But the majority of Nigerians have come to accept that Jonathan, even if re-elected for 10 terms, will never fight corruption. The courage is lacking, the political will is nonexistent, the desperation for re-election is so consuming that he would not hurt the weakest of his corrupt political allies. So Nigerians are prepared to turn to Buhari, unarguably the least stained presidential aspirant in the eyes of the people.
When APC was formed in February 2013, senior PDP figures dismissed it as a failure-bound union of four parties. Who would blame them? Many were sceptical that this merger would not survive even a year. Yet, in another two months, this merger would be two years old. But that is not the story.

The story is that all APC presidential aspirants defeated by Buhari have offered him their support. Few expected it. Atiku Abubakar, the man most expected to bolt out of APC in the event of a loss, congratulated Buhari the moment the ex-general's vote count overtook his, even though the winner had not yet been officially announced at the time. There is a massive movement for Buhari, which Jonathan didn't face in 2011.

It is absolutely impossible for Buhari to win Presidential election in Nigeria.

In less than 6 weeks, Buhari will be defeated forever.

Aljazeera or whatever they call themselves have not told us the number of underage voters in the 12million figures they hinged their projection on. They equally did not mention the percentage of those voters who were multiple registrants.
INEC has to some extent sanitised the voters register and that explains why Lagos Voter register has been pruned down from 6.5 million it was in 2011 to 4.5million in 2014 and this applies to virtually all the states. I know APC e-warriors will not agree with me but Buhari will loose next month election.

Aljazeera is an Arab/Islamic media outfit, i would have been surprised if they did not support an Islamic extremist like Buhari.

What do you expect from the media arms of the janja.weed party

It is absolutely possible for Buhari to win the 2015 presidential election. In fact, with the figures on ground now, GEJ will require an absolute miracle to win. It is Buhari's election to lose. The momentum at the moment is unstoppable all thanks to GEJ's clueless performance. Nigerians want change and GMB represent that change at least for now.

interesting

Multiple voters registration was recorded in all states of the federation so stop making it look like the register clean up by inec affected only APC stronghold. Don't also forget that the 2011 election was massively rigged in the south south for GEJ due to lack of Buhari presence then. That amounted for the over 90% returns in the zone. Things have changed now and two south south governors will be leading and coordinating Buhari's campaign in the zone. Rigging will be much difficult this time around and anything short of a 95% total votes return for GEJ in the zone means he will lose the election.

2013, senior PDP figures dismissed it as

Even Aljazeera has confirmed that Doyin Okupe is a SUPER BASTARD.


Sai Buhari joor!!

All I see above this post are haterz of a better Nigeria!

Come February 2o15 and GEJ, corruption and bad governance Will be kicked out!

Good talk. It seems you want an expansion of the scope of this discuss. You're right for saying two south south governors are now supporting Buhari but you failed to mention the fact that those governors are not completely in control of thier respective states. Did you see the scanty crowd that attended yesterday's APC campaign lunch? Anyway, that's not too important. Now take this;
1.In 2011, Borno was a full fledge opposition state and that accounted for GEJ's poor showing. Presently, one of the arrowheads of opposition politics in that state and a strong political heavyweight, Modu Sheriff is now a PDP man and he has vowed to ammass votes for GEJ. How about that?
2. In Kano State, Shekarau was a torn in the flesh of PDP in previous elections, where is he presently?PDP.Did you see the crowd that welcomed him home when he defected to PDP? Ponder over that.
3. In Sokoto, Bafarawa was a founding father of APC but the man has ported to PDP. Same applies to thousands of his followers. That's a cause for worry for APC.
4. How about Adamawa? Buba Marwa, Nuhu Ribadu and others who hitherto pitched their tents with APC have jumped ship. They are now in PDP. Have you forgotten that Nyako is now on self imposed exile? A school for thought.
5. Lagos, the second largest base of registered voters was won by moonslide by GEJ in 2011 when Tinubu and Fashola were cult figures. What do you think will happen now and in Feb 2015 when the popularity of the duo has waned? You want the answer? It's landslide for GEJ. Forget that unheralded APC puppet VP candidate.
6.My internet data is about to be exhausted, but be assured that as soon as I reload, more are still to come!

The same northern political 'heavyweights' you classify as BHaramites, terrorists, born to rule, parasites on ND oil, illiterates and half-illiterates, pedophiles, whose children you call almajiris, suicide bombers, and products of quota system, and whose ancestors you labelled jihadists , thieves and ingrates have now become your beautiful bride.
A man may walk away from personal insults but will not from insults to his heritage. He will damn bid his time for the most opportune moment to deal a fatal blow.

Pls tell them.

Forget about gej being in power GMB still remain man to beat in dis forth coming election.

Doyin Okupe is just another 'hungry' man seeking for his next meal.Thesame thing can be said about Jerry Gana,Reuben Abati,Ahmadu Ali,Labaran Maku even Jeremiah Useni.They live such lavish lifestyles,the money they acquired illegally while in power always 'runs out' when they leave power.That is why they are always kissing their 'bosses' ar.se inorder to continue having access to the national cake and chin-chin.They represent nothing...they are just empty.If Buhari wins this presidential election,six months later we'll see this same Doyin Okupe singing Buharis' praises.Is that the way a human being should exist?Pitiful creatures

Trash from the pit of hell, walk around the streets of lagos ask the free readers associations, artisans, market women, traders, bus drivers who they prefer btw GMB & GEJ and draw your graph the result will shock you, go to Ibadan, Zaria, Sokoto, Kano, Niger & even Abuja etc & repeat same thing u 'll be shock, don't compare 2011 with 2015 the masses are tired of the clueless adminstration all what they are yelling for is change. You made mention of Shekarau, he uses Buhari influence in ANNP to defeat PDP then, Bafarawa is a paperweight politician is sokoto & I can't bet with my left testies that Ribadu won't shake Al-mankura because he isn't a grassroot politician. All what you have listed won't work an average northerner don't want to be associated with this clueless adminstration except those benefiting from it, I got ppl in sokoto, bauchi, zaria, abuja etc giving me first hand information of what is happening in their neighbourhood, if the coming election is going to be anything free & fair, GEJ should just start writing his handing over note, the table has turn, the support of the masses he enjoyed in 2011 has gone the way of the general this time around, wake up from your slumber GEJ is living Aso rock for Otuoke come May 29th this year.
Sai BUHARI/OSINBAJO.

When it is your time, everything works together for you. Even the month

With the President's commitment to electoral reforms...the masses vote would count.

INEC have been able to tackle people who registered more than once and have show some level of independence....

INEC would be the umpire of the elections not social media...may the best man win

Article so apt however the best part for me is the below


In truth, Buhari cannot take full credit for his popularity outside the north. Full marks should go to Goodluck Jonathan, the man who has unravelled as the antithesis of his opponent's unique selling point.

Jonathan is so useless.

Jonathan is a walking APC campaign machine.

45,000 people represents what fraction or percentage of people using internet in Nigeria.

This al Jazeera people just keep throwing around numbers and bandying postulations.

Anyways, let the best man take the day. For me, its not like anything will change either way.
