2015 Elections: Jonathan will win – U.S think-tank



Brookings, the World’s most influential think-tank based in the United States has predicted the victory of President Goodluck Jonathan over General Muhammadu Buhari in the February 14 polls.

This was revealed in Brookings publication entitled: Foresight Africa – Top Priorities for the continent (January 2015). According to the analysis of the publication, the election will be competitive but President Jonathan will emerge the winner.


“Though the election is expected to be very competitive, the odds still favour President Jonathan.”

Brookings revealed that the sole aim of the opposition party, All Progressive Congress, APC, is to return power to the North.

“The party is, however, a fragile one that seems united only in its quest to wrest the presidency from Jonathan or to have power ‘returned’ to the North.

“The APC gets much of its strength from tap-ping into anti-Jonathan sentiments in the Muslim North and grievances among the Yoruba who feel that the Jonathan administration has ignored them in key political appointments.”

Analysis of the Brooking publication noted that the APC’s strategy is to win the North West, North East and battle the South West. He however predicts that contrary to speculations by the APC supporters, Bola Tinubu, who seems to be the party’s strongest mobilizer in the South West, will not win the region.

The analysis however, rated President Jonathan high: “despite Boko Haram — the country is thriving: The economy continues to grow and—with the re- basing of its GDP — became the largest economy in Africa and the 26th largest in the world. Jonathan’s supporters also point to his success in containing the Ebola virus, which earned him commendations from countries and institutions around the world.”

The report added that incumbency factor and numerical control of PDP states which is 21 ahead of the APC which has only 14 states, gives the PDP an edge.

The report concluded by advising the country to put all efforts to ensure that the February polls are free, fair, transparent and peaceful.

Yes, because his winning will cause chaos and bring setback to Nigeria....which will be their happiness.

they are wrong.

hmmm

It is obvious that GEJ will win

I like the sound of this. I hope APC can come to terms with how the outside world views GEJ's govt,as opposed to what they(APC), try to sell to unintelligent Nigerians.

It will be a sweatless victory for Jonathan. Buhari can try again in the next world if there is.

Do not deceive yourself.

This trash is not from 'the outside world', but was written by an Onitsha-born Igbo guy, Jideofor Adibe, who has never hidden his dislike and fear for a Buhari presidency.

Whatever you read here is from an article that was written by Jideofor and carried on that foreign publication, and the views expressed only represent Jideofor's prediction and wishful thinking, no more no less.

As someone not comfortable with the presidency of Buhari, Ojideofor reecently wrote an article that drew widespread criticisms from numerous of his blog readers.

Strangely, he also drew a lot of criticism from Nigerians when in 2011 he was found out as deceptively campaigning for an IBB presidency.

So as someone who would prefer IBB to Buhari, Ojideofor's so-called prediction that GEJ would not surprise those who know where he stands.

Stop shouting.

Na Americans won VOTE?

-US think-tank? Is that a pastors name?
-Jonathan will win? Is that his own prophecy?

Imagine an American that is not on ground is sitting in the comfort of his House in Washington to Predict Jonathan's victory. I suppose that he will mobilise Amiricans to vote for Jonathan. Rubbish

It shouldn't be a problem. Just do the maths.
The north will not vote him, even the south-south is divided.
Which part of the country is totally in support of gen? NONE.

So, where will his `win` come from?

The blood of d innocents killed in 2011 post election violence n boko-hari will never allow buhari c aso rock

Not American. The guy lives in Lafia, Nassarawa State. Jideofor Adibe.

iF apc only political agenda is change of power to the north, then God will put everlasting confusion and fire in All apc camp.

**grins** I was at a newstand in
Onopa yesterday. A yorubaman was
angry at his kinsmen, why? 99.9% of
those fighting for a return to hausa-
fulani rule are the yorubas, the Fulanis
are not even lifting a finger. They just
relax and harvest. What a funny
world. Naija is interesting. **LMAO!**
