The Alhaji Abubakar Sokoto-led faction of the Unity Party of Nigeria has endorsed the candidature of the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, for Saturday’s elections.
Sokoto also dissociated the party from an earlier endorsement of President Goodluck Jonathan by the Dr. Fredrick Fasheun-led faction of the party.
He said this at a news conference in Abuja on Wednesday.
The party chairman said Jonathan’s endorsement by Fasheun was a nullity because he has since been suspended from the party.
Sokoto told reporters that genuine members of the UPN whom he was leading have identified with the aspirations of Buhari because he has all the credentials of a committed Nigerian who has all it takes to change the nation.
He enjoined all leaders of the party to mobilise their supporters especially at the grassroots level to vote for Buhari.
UPN also declared support for the use of card readers and permanent voter cards for the election.
Sokoto said, “The National Executive Committee of our great party which I represent did not mince words from distancing themselves from the decision of the former national chairman of the party, Dr. Fredrick Fasheun’s endorsement of President Jonathan as the party’s adopted candidate.
“We would like to state clearly with all emphasis at our disposal that the UPN formally endorsed Buhari and direct all its supporters across the country to cast their votes for Buhari as APC presidential candidate.
“Our party is in support of political stability, corrupt free society and total defeat of insurgency in the country and believes Buhari is capable of handling these issues with tremendous success.”
In response, Deputy National Chairman of APC (North), Senator Lawan Shauibu, assured the UPN that the APC will reciprocate their kind gesture when it wins the elections.
He said the leaders of the UPN have demonstrated their willingness to join APC to realise the quest for change, adding that the opposition party has never used monetary inducement to attract people to its rallies.
Shuaibu urged the supporters of UPN to ensure that they not only vote, but stay around the polling units to ensure their votes are counted and that the votes counts.
He said, “We expect our supporters to conduct themselves in a peaceful manner and we do not expect anyone supporting Buhari to ignite or incite violence during and after the coming elections.”
According to him, the PDP has failed to provide the fresh air which it promised the people when it was elected into office in 2011.
Shuaibu also said, “I thank you for making the right thing at the right time. We believe that this time for all progressive parties to come together to forge a better future.
“We also believe that whoever supports APC to realise the desired change will not be abandoned. He said the move to actualize the change is not just that of APC alone, but that of other like-minds across the country.”

These are my replies to one APC supporter deceiving himself about Jonathan's administration. I presented facts with links to prove APC thrive on falsehood and lies..

Now am going to counter you with facts and accompanying links. You should have done same.

As I said before, you are better of sticking to issue you know. You may not vote Buhari, but don't blame him ignorantly.

Let me rephrase:
- Before Buhari came to power as Head of State, Shagari had already plunged the economy into a mess (that is why many people celebrated it).

Do you even know that GMB left the economy in shambles and worst than when he came in because people were dying in hunger. The good reason why people also celebrated his ousting by IBB.. Quotes and links below:

However, his attempts to re-balance public finances by curbing imports led to many job losses and the closure of businesses.

Prices rose while living standards fell, leading to a palace coup by Gen Ibrahim Babangida on 27 August 1985. Mr Buhari was imprisoned for 40 months.

- When they came to power, Buhari and his team had to make very tough decisions to fight the major challenges of Nigeria at that time. Like maintaining peace, stopping lawlessness, stop looting of government funds, stop those that were dumping hard drugs in Nigeria, keep the economy from collapsing, fight insurgence, etc.

-What peace did he maintain?
-He stopped lawlessness by infringing the rights of the Nigerian people. He killed journalism in Nigeria, let us not forget that.
-He stopped looting of government funds for politicians who were not his friends. His friends were immune to his fight against corruption. Examples are Emir Gwandu, Shehu Shagari, etc. Simply put, he was biased. A man placed at his level as an "incorruptible" man shouldn't have been biased in dishing out justice. If you want to fight corruption, fight it all round not that tomorrow we will start hearing that only PDP officials were convicted while APC officials were not even tried. We need equal justice.
-On his actions towards drug dealers and armed robbers, I commend him for that.
- Your statement about keeping the economy from collapsing is actually an opposite because the economy was almost already dead before IBB stepped in. You can check the link above for this.
You can check the links below I utilized to back up my statements.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammadu_Buhari

- When Buhari left over after 20 months the economy was already stable and recovering.

I've addressed this huge lie above. But let me chip in something, had Buhari allowed Shehu Shagari to complete the revolutionary Ajaokuta Steel Industry while in office, the steel sector of the Nigerian economy would have provided not less that 2.5 million jobs. Apart from that, private businesses suffered while many closed down, many people lost their jobs while graduates of his era were largely unemployed, 200,000 Civil servants suffered retrenchment plus humiliation at work place, etc. You can check the links I provided above.

- But IBB reversed some of the tasking decision Buhari made like fighting corruption, IMF loans, etc. And before you know it, everything was a mess. Apart from Jonathan's administration, IBB ran the most corrupt government in history of Nigeria. Even IBB said himself that with the volume of looting under Jonathan, that he should be consider a Saint.

You know you are not telling yourself the truth if you think anybody can ever reach the corruption level of IBB or OBJ in Nigerian history. Who eliminated middle men in the fertilizer deals? Who eliminated 50,000 ghost workers from Civil service? Who saw that electoral fraud was eliminated? Here is a cut from Sun news online which the person in question made reference to data he obtained from Transparency International:

According to Transparency In­ternational’s data from 1979 till date, the tenures of both General Muhammadu Buhari and former President Olusegun Obasanjo were more corrupt than the tenure of President Goodluck Jonathan. The details are trending online.

The data also showed that un­der the administration of President Jonathan, Nigeria has recorded its best score in the Corruption Per­ception Index (CPI) since 1979. This is in complete contrast to the sordid picture of rampant corrup­tion being painted by the opposi­tion, ardent critics of the Jonathan administration and much of the media in the last few years – espe­cially in the build up to the general elections.

Buhari deserve our support in this election. There is no single Nigerians that has been scrutinized like Buhari for 30 good years and nothing found on him.

[b]How was Buhari scrutinized? Who scrutinized him? How effective were the people, panel that scrutinized him? Is it new the Buhari doled out our $2.8billion (fund misappropriation) dollars into his and Obj's account during his time serving as Petroleum Minister while OBJ was head of state. Shehu Shagari set up a panel that found him not guilty (padi padi panel) but still maintained there was lapses in the account. No wonder when GMB ousted Shehu Shagari, he preferred him under house arrest while his vice was jailed (a favour for a favour).

It's also not new that GMB doled out our moneys illegally, into the military (Abacha and co) account during his time as PTF chairman. GMB prefers using the guise "incorruptible" to enrich his croonies while he had a few share stacked out somewhere and still claimed incorruptible. Probably he felt that a wealth to his croonies is a wealth to him.

Point of correction, Jonathan Vs the most corrupt set and past military heads.
