This campaign should be about those issues. It should be about today and the future; about securing Nigerian lives and Nigerian land."

"I clearly underrated the panic and lack of integrity that leads people to tell barefaced lies, and must confess, it continues to confound me"

We have not spoken about the President's family, his health, his religion, his ethnic group, or his phone number."

"I have run for office before, but I have consistently done so without desperation or anger, because elections are not war."

Why should candidates tell so many frantic lies in order to win elections, if truly their purpose is to ‘transform’ the lives of our people?"

It is a tragedy to see the ruling party focus on pettiness and lies; rumours of cancer, foreign treatment, and certificates they know exist."

Hundreds, perhaps thousands of Nigerians died in #Baga days ago. Our unemployment numbers are rising."

The businesses of our enterprising youth are being killed by lack of access to finance and poor economic policies."

The desperation is beyond my understanding. #ThingsMustChange"

What is this obsession with lies? What is this obsession with pettiness? What is this obsession with threats and attacks?"

All of us, citizens and voters need to ask ourselves – why is our President so desperate?"

How can the President of this country be talking about remembering phone numbers and coup speeches?"

How can his campaign be talking about dead ex-leaders, jogging around the stadium and outright lies about my health?"

Where is his fabled calm, where is his reserve, where is his composure? Why is he so ruffled? Why is he so frustrated and afraid?"

How can a President who has led this country for six years be unable to run on his own record and his achievements?"

We should be deeply worried that a President who called for calm during governorship elections has now lost his cool in his own elections."

Let us focus on those issues, please. Elections are not war. February 14 is not about politicians. It is about our country."

We are lucky to have in this election two people who have led this country. I am proud to present our record of solutions and effectiveness."

We have presented our vision and plans – through our manifesto (available on http://thisisbuhari.com) and our town hall meetings."

We have only presented our record – how we fought insurgencies, how we stabilised the naira, how we tackled corruption."

I am appealing to you: the damage to this country is great. The level of unemployment and insecurity is intolerable, worsened by
corruption."

Therefore, I shall refuse to indulge the smear campaign. I refuse to allow them take away the focus from the issues that concern you."

We insist on a campaign of hope, change and the future. This election is about big, important issues. We refuse to play it small."

Join us as we continue the relentless pace of our rallies in Minna and Kaduna today. #Change is finally here, my friends. - GMB"

duality:
@OP, good one from you.

"I have never been driven by the love of power. Rather, I have gotten to where I am today by the power of love"

- President Jonathan

In Lagos.

Sadly, I seem not to have picked any from GMB. I think it's because of so much noise and hot air from his camp.

Wish well the same set of people seeking for the death of another Presidential Aspirant?? Abeg go sit down for Otuoke with your meaningless quotes...So one should vote for GEJ because he made quotes that are not synonymous in anyway with what is on ground in his useless government? Some of you have eyes blocked totally with mediocrity.

dont mind him the few people that supported gej are those he gave employment slot to sell it to poor nigerians gej prefare selling of slot than open recruitment

“We will stop corruption and make the ordinary people, the weak and the vulnerable our top priority,” Gen. Buhari said during his declaration of participating in the 2015 elections.

Don't you see that you're as dumb and unintelligent as the man(buhari) you support

I am writing about "philosophical quotes" which have meanings beyond the face value. Quotes with both implicit and explicit connotations.

Re: Great Quotes By President Goodluck Jonathan. by ollyruffy: 6:17pm On Jan 20, 2015

Imagine quotes. GEJ and his followers just keep decieving themselves.

We want quotes of how he has improved the living standards of ordinary man on the street.

His tenure expires by Feb 14. Rigging cannot help him this time around.

Don't you think that even with an "open recruitment" as you said, that your type will still fail? Given that you can't even write correct spellings, with good punctuations now that you're relaxed at home. Imagine when placed under tension in an interview hall

BTW What skill have you acquired to distinguish yourself from others? Or what extra qualification do you have? Is it your right that government must employ you directly? How have you taken advantage of the numerous policies of this government?...keep blaming others for your woes...never look inwards... pele

When the purpose of things are not known: abuse is inevitable. Leader are celebrated based on their impact and performance. Not on a mere words.
1 STEALING is not a CORRUPTION.
2. Buhari jailed somebody because of that cannot buy Peageut.
3 I will fight CORRUPTION with technology not by putting the corrupt people in jail.
