The myth of Buhari’s northern popularity:-
One of the lies of the Buhari campaign is the pretense that he has cornered the Northern vote. Nothing could be further from the truth. As a matter of fact, in this election, Buhari is not the choice of the North. The Northern political elite don’t want Buhari to be president. The North did not vote for him in the APC presidential primaries. The Northern vote went instead to Rabiu Kwankwaso and Atiku Abubakar. Buhari was elected primarily with Southern ACN votes. Let me ask some pertinent questions. How many Northern elites have we seen recently campaigning for Buhari? We have seen Tinubu following Buhari around. We have heard Obasanjo and Soyinka pitching their tents with him. But the Northern elite have largely kept mum. Governors Fashola, Oshiomole and Amaechi of the South have been busy singing choruses of praise about Buhari, but Northern governors are mute. Atiku and Kwankwaso have largely kept their distance from him. Why are they not shouting on the rooftops for Buhari? The truth is that the Northern elite have never liked Buhari. Therefore, it is not in their interest for him to become president. Buhari’s grandstanding on anti- corruption resonates with the poor, but not with the Northern elite. Should Buhari become president, most of the current Northern presidential hopefuls can no longer be president in their lifetime. Eight years of Buhari presidency would swing the presidency back to the South for another eight years. But these Northern bigwigs don’t have 16 years to wait in the wilderness. Some of them would even have kicked the bucket by then. It is better for them to wait for Jonathan to finish his second-term in 2019, at which time they would be able to contest for the presidency without having to deal with an incumbent president. What they need now is the assurance that it would then be the turn of the North. In that eventuality, South-South support for a Northern presidential candidate would
be imperative. 2015 is not the time to jeopardize this. The strategic partnership of the North and the South-South has been the enduring decimal of Nigerian elections. The South-South has supported the North in every election, except when its own son, Goodluck Jonathan, was on the ballot. The North must be careful not to betray that partnership, if for no other reason than that it will need it again in the near future. It must be careful not to betray that partnership because Jonathan has done far more for the North in his five years in power than he has for any other part of the country, including the South-South. In short, there is no excuse for Northern denial of support for Jonathan in 2015. The federal government’s mid-term assessment of its development investment shows that the investment in the North-West and the North- Central zones alone amounted to 792 billion naira; nearly double those of the South-West, South-South and South-East put together, which amounted to 403 billion naira. If the North fails to support Jonathan in the coming presidential election, in spite of
Jonathan’s obvious discrimination in favour of the North, it can bid farewell to South-South support in the future. With all the noise about Buhari’s popularity with the talakawa in the North, we have not heard anything that he has ever done, or would do, for them. When he was head of state between 1984 and 1985, he did absolutely nothing for them. In the unlikely event that Jonathan becomes president, it would not take long before there would be rioting among the Northern poor out of dashed and betrayed hope. The man who has transformed the life of the poor in the North has been Goodluck Jonathan. Jonathan built 125 Almajiri Schools in 13 states in the North; something Northern rulers like Buhari failed to do. At the commissioning of the first Almajiri Model School in Gagi, Sokoto State, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Abubakar Sa’ad III, observed that Jonathan’s action was unprecedented in the history of Northern Nigeria. Jonathan also established ten new federal universities; seven of them in the North. Jonathan has made far more appointments of Northerners than he has of Southerners. His transformation of agriculture from subsistence to commercial farming has been of primary benefit to the agrarian
North. Therefore, it will come as no surprise if Jonathan wins more votes in the North in 2015 than he did in 2011.

I think the " D " in PDP stands for "DECEIT"..they can always deceive demselves But not the masses anymore.

@ the rubbish emboldened.. IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN EVEN WITHOUT THE USE OF CARD READERS


...And OP, this source is not good enough. I hope you didn't waste your time concocting this.

New Universities on paper
Gej failed to protect over 13000+ of my kins
Gej failed to provide security 4 hundreds missing(Chibok n buni yadi students)
3.3m are IDPs
1.5 are Refugees in other countries

OP is on drugs. Any Northerner would be more popular than GEJ in the North right now.

The writer of this rubbish should go an stand in the middle of any popular market anywhere in the north and shout "sai Jonathan" .. Let's see how it goes. Lol.

I'm glad he said the northern elites don't like him but the masses do. We talk about these elites, leaders, etc like their votes will count as a million. What's the percentage of these elites? No one has ever said he'll get 100% but Buhari getting a huge majority shouldn't even be up for debate.

It's the same way they're talking about the sw. Just because some so called "leaders" have decided to pitch their tents with GEJ they're saying they'll win SW. Majority is what counts not the support of some leaders. Those leaders can influence their beneficiaries and nothing more

more than 90% is truthful. true northerners don't want him.

Buhari's support base in d north is restricted to d illiterate almajiris and they love him cos he is a violent jihadist. QED

The 13,000 are majorly hausa/fulani, they brought in ant infested firewood to their home, they can as well face the music.
No girl is missing in Chibok
The people displaced are same hausa/fulani that first saw the animals as freedom fighters
1.5 million refugees, they are hausa/fulani, your traditional ruler already said his kingdom extend to Cameroon, so it's only normal for his people to visit their kingdom in cameroon and niger republic

Divisive as always. The votes will be united and unanimous against the incompetence.

This so called illiterate almajiris gave him 12 million votes in 2011, these almajiris will be used to send GEJ packing from Aso Rock come May 29, 2015

Lies!
So many northerners support buhari by virtue of him being from there and a tribalistic and religious fanatic.
Other persons voting him in tge hope of pseudo change are on long things.

Dementia is a serious disease..

The APC e-propagandists will stop at nothing to hurriedly discountenance this. In most cases, they would not even wait to read the text to the end. All they would be concerned with is to counter every narrative that seems to be GEJ's promoting.
@op, this is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
The truth is the Word of God and God's Word is truth.
It Standeth SURE!

You obviously havent taken ur last dose @ Yabaleft.

It is the northern masses not elites that likes buhari.Every body knows that it is these masses that determine who will win an election in any part of the country. Justice umaru abdulahi,conmasie,and some other northern elites have not hidden their love for buhari.Sure,due to the personality of GMB,there is no way IBB and ABDUSALLAMI ABUBAKAR,will openly come out to support him and neither will they disown him also.

OP try harder. Shame.

but Buhari and Nyako and several others regarded an attack on Bokoharam as an attack on the North. Remember the first strikes of Bokoharam at Police Stations in Kano threw youth in kano state into wild street jubilation, it has now dawned on everyone that Bokoharam is a friend to no one.
so better be guided

Your leaders said he was killing northerners
Your people asked for Ihejirika's head for containing Boko haram
Buhari said attack on BH is attack on the North
All the emirs that were against BH have been murdered
All living emirs were sympathetic maybe until now
Your governors had a pact with US to sabotage the war in other to paint the president as incompetent.

Thank God. the eediots are now sensible enough to know that the buhari presidency is not about returning power to the north but about reclaiming our lost glory as a country. Phooolish pdp.

I think this guy don't understands politics very well. Buhari is not being driven by an elitists ideology. Buhari's case is a populist movement so to say. The masses are the real agents of change and not d elites u are referring to. because on election days, they and their children don't votes.

bakila:

Hahahaha. Don't deceive yourself, Kwankwaso and Atiku are in on this one.

LOL!!!Atiku has burnt heels too oh.

shadowgwalker:

Please who are the true northerners? Can anyone be more northern than the people of Kano, Katsina, Kano, Kebbi and Zamfara just to mention a few. I would like you do define what true northerner means

bros, no matter how u bring fact showing how buhari is not popular in the north, the apc cats will not believe u cos they are pagans who always refuse to accept Jesus as their lord and savior.

nice work and let keep moving forward.

If budohari can kill people for no jst course then i will rather forgive GEJ for his past sins and move on with. not certainly with failbuhari, who is always political dead on arrival.

Dis ur msg needs to b rang on those who keep pointing accusing fingers on GEJ.
