Without sentiments or ethnic bias, I feel Goodluck is bad for Nigeria with the following reasons:
1. Goodluck is not charismatic imagine saying MEND was not behind the infamous October 1 bomb blast only for MEND to accept responsibility,
2. The first policy Goodluck attempted to propose after assumption of office was a seven year Single tenure,
3. Goodluck does not understand the power that comes with commander in chief (he doesnt report to anybody) little wonder why he cant conquer Boko Haram,
4. Goodluck encourages corruption, he hasnt imprisoned any corrupt official not even his opponents instead he has granted presidential pardon to convicted criminals.
5. Goodluck is neither a leader nor a dictator, he is completely a politician, imagine his wife becoming the permanent secretary of a state ministry, his wife dipping her hands into state politics causing political unrest in the south.
6. Imagine a government that organises a recruitment where over 500,000 Nigerians are to be tested in one day, that is after collecting 1000 Naira each without refunding.
7. Nigeria's Foreign reserve has depleted under Goodlucks administration even before the crash of oil price and then you ask the question, what is the government doing with all that money if it cant impact the average Nigerian.
8. After six years, there has been not improvement in electricity generation and I dont mean hitting 4500mega watts and coming back to around 2mega watts.
9. Goodluck increased fuel price from 65 naira in the previous administration to 97 naira and now to 87 naira. Until recently majority of oil marketers were selling way above the pump price of 97 naira - No enforcement
10. Goodluck is not proactive, if he had started something big in diversifying the economy, the impact of this oil price crash wouldnt be so much.

Goodluck should step down, he has spent six years as President with almost nothing to show for it and he is acting for more
The reason I want Buhari to win is for Nigerians to understand the power of their votes, if a president doesnt perform, he can be voted out.

But Do you think the Tinubu led APC will do better ?

How do you think BuhAri will fight corruption when he is benefiting from it ?

Now, I'm not justifying GEJ because some of the things said her true. Especially some statements, "stealing is not corruption". And his wife Patience is overdoing it.

Now if I have to go for Buhari, I will have to think about Tinubu, ATiku and Amaechi. Tinubu is arguably the most corrupt human being in Nigeria. We have seen what he's doing in Lagos, imagine what he will do in Nigeria.

Buhari is sincEre but old. But he is politically naïve and can not handle the likes of Tinubu. If he has to fight corruption, he will have to fight Tinubu.

From the look of things, Tinubu is behind Buhari's forged certificate. This can be a tool Tinubu will use to blackmail GMB if the case arises.

All things being equal, Buhari can be a good option, but the people around he a worse than those around GEJ. So we are stuck as a people.

While i agree with your logic, the essence of supporting Buhari is not necessarily because he is a better alternative, but to show Nigerians that there is power in their vote and if he man at the helm of affairs is not doing well, he can be voted out. This will consequently make political parties carry out activities that will improve the lives of the people cos if they dont, they would be voted out.
