After the last General election in which extreme majority of the SS and SE voted for PDP. Many political analyst, politicians e.t.c , have been criticizing the SS and SE as being bad political strategist and some even went on to say that they deserve less federal presence under the APC ruling party for their stupidity. I see this critics as rubbish, senseless and uncalled for . Any region in the shoes of SS and SE would had done the same thing they did; so why tag them as bad political strategist whom put all their eggs in one basket by voting for PDP in mass, while the other regions are pictured as better. SW and North are never better political strategist than SS and SE; so enough of the chest beating.

Below are some conspicuous reasons why majority of SS and SE voted for PDP


1. Religion Issue : APC was seen by the SS and SE as a muslim party with a muslim agenda. This is quit understandable, because almost all their interior national leaders were muslim. SS and SE zone unlike the SW and North, are made up of majority christians (christian 98%- muslim 2%) , and the muslim domination of APC leadership was threatens them.

2. PDP domination of SS and SE Zones : it's a known fact that the ruling political party in a state often influences the direction of the people's vote in the state during election. The SS and SE are made up of 11 states, and out of the 11 states only 3 states were under the ruling of APC , the rest was under PDP rulings except Anambra which was under APGA. Unlike in 2011 when jonathan contested, majority of the states in Nigeria were under PDP ruling, which explains why jonathan got vote in mass from different parts of country.

3. Buhari's Personality: Buhari has be accredited with numerous bigotry utterances relating to religion, which is seen as a threat by the Christian majority mostly from the SS and SE. Buhari had once said he will not relent in the struggle to ensure that sharia law covers the whole of Nigeria. And also he had once averred that a fight against boko haram is a fight against the North, coupled with the fact that boko haram once nominated him as their negotiating spokesman. Many of the people from the SS and SE zones want change away from PDP ruling, but sees buhari as a tribal and religious bigot and a no go area for them. If APC had present another candidate, believe me the case would have been different. And it's understandable.

4. Tribe/Region: This is a general phenomenon and not limited to SS and SE. Most people in the North voted in mass for APC because of Buhari; most people in the SW voted in mass for APC because of Tinubu . Unlike the North and the SW, the SS and SE had no political giant in the fame of APC interior leadership. Most people in the SS and SE voted in mass for Jonathan because he is from the same region. This is a fact we can't deny. In 2011 presidential election, majority of the people from NE and NW voted in mass for buhari over jonathan , and even went ahead to create tension in their region when Jonathan was announce as the winner. Whether we like it or not the tribe and region of candidates play a big role during general elections.

5. Formation of APC : APC is a merger of CPC, ANPP and ACN. The CPC which stronghold is in the extreme Northern part of the country was formed in 2006 by General Muhammadu Buhari. The ANPP had it's stronghold also in the extreme North and a ruling party in kano. ACN had strong presence in the South West (5 Governors, 15 Senators and 6 State Houses), and a ruling party in Lagos. This explains why APC was seen as a Northern dominated Party, because it was obvious the North has upper hand in the control of the party. The APC has no SS and SE presence under it's formation caucus.

The above is why I detest Buhari

True talk

Enough of this, pls, haba

Medicine after death

Proudly PDP...

Abeg mak dis news make front page abeg.

D reasons r true tho.

What's ur stand now, support him to succeed or watch him succeed....Buhari is not a sectional leader.

Boko haram , a crashing economy in spite of record revenues , corruption , insecurity , rising poverty, Nigeria becoming an object of international ridicule and so on and so forth are not reason enough?
The SS voted massively for Jonathan?
You got to be kidding me.
Was there an election in the SS?
Only cross river and edo had anything close to an acceptable election .
Apkabio contested for election in central senatorial district but won in the north
N:B
Jonathan was simply a Dundee figurehead . We know those who messed up his government. Those throwing their toys out of the pram .
The thoughts behind those reasons enumerated in this post are exactly the reason why Jonathan was kicked out ,and the reason why the SE will not smell the presidency anytime soon .

speak for South East. Leave South South out of it. Buhari got 45% in Edo State. We in South South are not Anti North. it is only d Igbo or SOUTH east that are trying thier best to include us in thier North hatred. leave us out of it.

@ OP u just sold plain truth to the lying ZOMBIES

You are simply deceiving yourself if you say the SS didn't vote for Jonathan in mass, and that it's only the SE who did so. We all know that the SS and SE are the 5% buhari was talking about in America

If you look at the overral result again and check states by states, you will see that Buhari got more vote in South South than south east despite the fact that Jonathan is south south.

There is a difference between the south south and South East position when it comes to BUhari vs Jonathan election.

South South people are not Anti North neither are we Anti-Buhari. We voted Jonathan because he is our brother. it was a natural thing to do. No matter how bad your father is, he is still your father. That was the basis of south south vote. It was not because we hate the North or we hate Buhari.

But for South East, it was purely hatred because of Jealousy and pains of Biafra. South East people hate the North. And also because Jonathan favoured even the south East more than South South durng his administration.

As far as we the south south are concern, there is no difference between the Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa. To us, these are three major tribe struggling and fighting for Supiriority. Whenever any of the three is loosing, he shout Marginalization.

During Jonathan govt, the Igbo was gaining and were in control and was happy. The Yoruba were losing and were shouting Marginalization. The hausa/fulani were not happy because they were not fully in control. For the North we can slightly understand because in the 16years of democracy (May 1999 to May 2015) the south ruled 13.3years while the North had just 2.7years

The Igbo don't love us more than the hausa or Yoruba love us. All the three tribe are all struggling for the control of south south oil. None of the three is better than the other as far as we south south are concern

Your reasons are stale,pointless,meaningless,irrelevant and myopic.

The elections have been won and lost.

Those who cried have dried their red eyes and moved on.

Support the government for a better Nigeria.

Enough of the irritating wailing.

We are not sympathetic to Bokoharam and as such anybody sympathetic to bokoharam cannot get our votes

South South is not in the 5% Buhari is referring to. Buhari has no problem with south south. He knows very well south south people are happy with his govt. it has shown in his govt so far. In terms of appointment south south is not lacking. We have CBN gov, we have IG of police, we have chief of Naval staff, we have amnesty coordinator,we have the most Juicy of all NNPC GMD. if we look at his govt by geo political zone basis, south south are not lagging behind. because when we say North there are three zones (NW. NE and NC), we tend to group all the appointments in the North as one. But when it comes to south, we start differentiating south south from south east and south west.

Rivers PDP Hails Buhari on Implementation of UNEP Report on Ogoniland

Rivers state Chairman of PDP, Felix Obuah


Ernest Chinwo in Port Harcourt

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for fast-tracking the implementation of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) report on the clean-up of Ogoni land.

In a statement issued on Friday on behalf of the state Chairman of PDP, Felix Obuah, by his media aide, Jerry Needam, the party said it “Welcomes the announcement by the Presidency of fast-tracking the clean-up of Ogoniland as part of the recommendations contained in the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) Report on the devastation pollution of Ogoniland by oil exploration activities of the Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) and allied multinational corporations.

“The PDP commends President Buhari for not discontinuing a process started by previous administrations, which led to the commissioning of UNEP activities in Ogoni as well as setting up of the Hydrocarbon Pollution Restoration Project (HYPREP), particularly by the Jonathan’s administration, all of which were being gazetted.”

You are a bloody liar and fool.


The highest vote GEJ got from the SE was a mere 500,000 while Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross River gave him over a million votes each with Bayelsa overwhelmingly voting GEJ as well.

The SE apathy to vote coupled with Jega's bias PVC distribution especially in the SE is the reason Buhari won.

If Anambra, Enugu and Abia recorded turnouts like that seen in the SS and gave GEJ million votes, Goodluck would have won with a narrow victory.

Find below the March 28th 2015 presidential election result in south south and south east. You will see that you are the fool and the liar.
Apart from more vote for Buhari in South south, he also have more percentage vote. with the percentage vote comparison, the issue of voters turnout is removed. We the south south have moved on. Election is in the past. we are now concentrating on a better Nigeria. this clearly shows we have no hatred or anything against Buhari. Please our IGBO neighbour, count us out form ur hatred and bigotry. we wont buy it.
You can see even Rivers PDP is commending buhari for Ogoni UNEP report implementation fast tracking. That is how we the south south do our things. we are not children of bitterness and hatred and wailing waling
