These are the reason i will not support buhari going for second term. 1. Power supply: Nigerians have been groaning over epileptic power supply which has crippled many businesses. While campaigning for the presidential election last year, the APC on which ticket Buhari contested, promised to expand electricity generation and distribution to 40,000 MW. Igerians are still waiting for this to become a reality. 2. Economic crisis/Naira: The value of the naira has continued to dwindle. Today, it’s going up and the next day it’s dropping. As at Monday, April 18, it was trading between N317 and N320 for a dollar. During the campaign period, Buhari was reported to have said he would make the naira equal to the dollar but he has since denied making any such promise. 3. Security challenges: While Buhari focuses on curbing Boko Haram insurgency, he continues to keep mute on the wanton killings by Fulani herdsmen terrorising farming communities across Nigeria. Fulani herdsmen are causing havoc and nothing is being done. 4. Unemployment: Buhari promised the creation of 1 million new jobs annually during 2015 election campaigns. While Nigerians wait for Buhari to fulfill this promise, some who have jobs are being fired on a daily basis as some companies laying off staff due to the harsh economy. People that used to be employed have now joined the teeming population of unemployed persons. which are the key reasons why we masses voted them in 2015. He should keep to his word and step down That he will only rule for 1 term. because he has nothing to offer again 1 Like |

yomi96: I proudly Supported GEJ in 2015 and as a Rivers Man, i will always be proud of my support for Him, Not because he was a Southerner, but because he was more educated and therefore more competent than Buhari. However, as much as i want Buhari out, i don't get why the Only Candidates the biggest opposition in the country can provide for me to vote are all Muslim Northerners. WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY? EVEN DONALD DUKE THAT I WAS PLANNING TO SUPPORT COULDN'T GET A CHANCE IN THE PARTY AND HAS LEFT WHY? BECAUSE NA ONLY HAUSA MAN MUST GO. And so i have come to the conclusion that instead of that, I'd rather allow this one see off his term so that later on, a more “Reasonable” candidate can be presented from both parties for us to choose from. Thank you. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Arda1000: My dear brother, you are very free to cast your vote for whoever you want to cast if for, this is a democracy and so that's your right. However, me i have decided that i will not allow my head to be used again by another power hungry Northern politician to achieve their goal of holding on to power which they have held now for FOURTY TWO YEARS in this country without anything to show for it.

dear op,their are merits to your brand of thought but,is it worth ; 1) four more years of fulani herdsmen attacks? 2)four more years of economic austerity and lies ? 3)four more years of an increasingly divided Nigeria? 4) four more years of selective justice ? 5) four more years of stagnation as the world around us changes?

MrMystrO:fact is am igbo but its better to blame the north than allowing people like rochas and orjiuzo kalu to be president because they will deal with igbos wella trust me and we cant hold them accountable, maybe all nigerians should note vote and ask 4 a referendum 4 some people who are no longer intrested in one nigeria scam |

eduj: I'm glad you are choosing to vote who you believe can make a change regardless his winning prospects, at least in your heart you will know you've done the right thing. If ONLY majority of Nigerian youths are like you, We would be a force to reckon with in Nigerian politics. Unfortunately, this is not so and so i have chosen to me what i believe is the lesser of two evils. Stay blessed man and thanks for commenting. 4 Likes |

Oluwadare: Glad to meet someone at last with a Rational mind like yours. These days it seems like supporting Buhari is synonymous with Not wanting the country to progress. But as a Rational true Progressive, one should be able to see that Nigeria as a country is very Ethnically Divided, and so that means Competence comes second to ethnic background when the nation is selecting its leader, a sad reality. Since then the southerners are usually more progressive minded than the North, i have decided to place my stakes on a southern presidency as the 'closest' path to us getting someone with a progressive and 21st century mindset as president. And so to achieve this goal, The current president should be allowed to have his time, paving way for the two parties to be able to present different candidates from different parts of the South(either SW/SE/SS) for us to choose from.. thereby greatly increasing the chance that we might pick someone with the mental capacity and competence to engineer a real positive change in this country. Thanks for sharing your thoughts bro. 3 Likes |

MrMystrO: when you say restructuring, the question i have for you is that wat is there to restructure. i understand you points but V.p mite not live to tell d tale nd i also see him as a puppet that is just bein used. nigeria politics is deeper than you think or might know, we are in a very long boring ride that is far from ending unless |
Re: I Have Finally Decided To Support Buhari's Bid For A Second Term And Here's Why by Oluwadare: 11:44pm On Sep 11, 2018 |
MrMystrO:sincerely. You have enlightened opinion that is backed with explicit explanations. Ceteris paribus, if there is valid assurance from the corridor of power that at the eventuality of this administration (I.e after spending their eight years in power) they will allow power to move to the south as you envisaged, then I'd be really campaigning for them as seems to me that only south can restructure this country which I'm seriously clamouring for. 1 Like |

Oluwadare: Thanks bro. I do believe that power will be handed over to the south because the North knows the Unity of the country Depends on it and so they should know better. I am Not an ethnic bigot at all and i hate sounding like one but at this stage, we have no choice than to play politics the Nigerian way which is the ethnic way.. so in the end, we can still get to our goal of creating the positive change WE ALL want to see. |

From your writeup it seems your mind isn't completely set in stone yet, you are only supporting buhari for lack of a better candidate (the devil you know is better than the angel you dont know kindof scenario). But dont forget that this was the same mistake we made in 2015 voting him in in the first place, because we thought, well he was not perfect but atleast he is better than the other candidates (which at this point is highly debatable). Buhari is not a good president, there's no way you can sugarcoat it, ignore those people commending you because they cant even produce a good reason for supporting him if you ask them. Instead of hurriedly making this decision which seems forced, why not keep supporting the durotoyes and the somores, you dont know if you might incite a revolution in the minds of nairaland youth to support them the way you wished in your post. I'm not trying to make you change your mind cos I respect your decision, but honestly supporting buhari because you think theres no better choice is probably a bad idea |

I respect your decision most of which I see reasons with. Unfortunately, I rather vote Sowore, Moghalu and they end up not winning than contribute my vote to the current government. I can't be party to pretenders. Oshiomole went from union leader to a billionaire with petitions sitting on EFCC office or is it Tinubu or the many more criminals who I feel offended wherever they mention anti-corruption. I will cast my vote for the candidate that has a vision I can support dazzol. 1 Like |

eduj: I wonder why Nigerians fail to take saraki to task on the issue of herdsmen. If saraki really cared about Nigeria, as a senate president, he should have passed a law banning open grazing of cattle in Nigeria. The executive cannot solve the issue of herdsmen until open grazing is criminalised in Nigeria. The police and army cannot secure the numerous villages we have in this country following herdsmen to stop killing. Saraki is trying to reap from the crisis instead of providing solution as a leader. |

just like i said,depends on how u define forward. if u define an 85 naira to 145 naira a litter of fuel as moving forward or 9k bag of rice thats now 17k plus as moving forward. broz i suggest u need review your definition of the word forward. Buterflyle0: 1 Like |
