Laughing.

Saraki lost the PDP primary, so which former Governor are we targeting again?laughing.

I feel this is a good time to address this BMC thing. You referred to me as a BMC member. I don't know if such a group exists,but I am neither affiliated to any political group here or anywhere, get paid or even have a relationship with anyone here outside Nairaland where we discuss political matters.

The last time I got paid by the Government was when I was serving and that was N7500,and a long time ago.

I write as i feel and not explainable to both the APC or PDP here. If there are people getting paid to support any political party here, then I make bold to say I consider that person a FAILURE in life and should look for something to do with his/her life.

I will appreciate I am not associated with this BMC thing. It is starting to become insultive. Thank you.

If Atiku emerges, the APC has a fight in their hands.

I mean, if Atiku emerges the flagbearer of the PDP, every single vote in Nigeria will be fought for to the end.

I was wishing it will be Saraki, which would have been a walk in the park for the APC. But an Atiku victory at their convention?
there is too much Anti-Buhari sentiment around, that a cunny old fox like Atiku can tap into and utilize.

I am just a realist, who has suddenly come to the logical conclusion that it is only an Atiku that has the war-chest to match the APC anywhere in Nigeria.

Hopefully Tambuwal wins,and we avert a nightmare scenario.

So let me repeat this to all APC members. Atiku Abubakar is not a walk in the park, as he knows his way around the Federal and State system of working.

This man single handedly formed the powerful wing of the PDP(PDM) even If Obasanjo used his Presidential powers to push him out.

It is an ELECTION in 2019.

Modified:

someone just said I am naive,and that Buhari has a solid base than Atiku,and one said they will open the CBN to just take money and fight Atiku. To the 2 of you, this was the same thing said about Buhari.

He was a serial loser. He had no political base. He had no money. You guys keep forgetting the anger and anti-sentiments against Jonathan by Nigerians. As an APC supporter,I will be the first to tell you a lot of Nigerians are angry with Buhari,and the APC should get their act together before the election or we lose it to Atiku.

Let us stop deceiving ourselves it is well.

Let me use this opportunity to say hi to the one I admire secretly aside johnydon22. To me, this guy is so intelligent. I only get confused about his wisdom when he tries defending APC. I'm referring to the moniker of the below quotes and those quotes got me.







And for Buterflyle0 (A major captain from the religion section) , no matter your political stand, I love you still.

You want to vote for PMB? That's so simple, just vote for him but if you want him out, you have to vote for PDP.

Why? You may ask..
reason is due to the VARIOUS parties in the quote below.




You can see over twenty presidential candidates from the above list. So you really have to be wise if your focus is on VOTING OUT PMB.

I was inspired to make a thread on this because some people feel they will vote for neither PMB nor Atiku, since they are the same '' recycled old wine''. The funny thing is this set of people really want,... did I say want? I mean they really NEED PMB OUT of the presidency this time.

What am I driving at?

If your priority, your main focus is kicking out PMB, then concentrate on a major party. You and I know PDP and APC are the major parties at the moment.

So, if you concentrate on voting for other presidential candidates aside Atiku, then you will be giving more of the voting power to the Buhari lovers.

In other words, if the 'anti-Buharists' split their votes among other parties, then their voting powers will be rendered nought and by the time you réalise your foolishness, it will be too late.

Let's say 49% is for PMB and the remaining 51% voters are 'anti-Buharists', imagine the consequence if more than 2% of the 'anti-Buharists' split their votes among other political parties.

I'm sure you get it now. Vote wisely!

Buterflyle0:


Bennyann where have you been my warrior for Jesus

Miss you guys in the religion section but I have a nation to deliver so had to repriotize for a little while.

I look up to you more you know and you know why. How have you been?

johnydon22:


Lol.

Politics can be tiring

Buterflyle0:
Bennyann I can see you wish to align with Atiku. You know I am your spiritual senior brother

What I see sitting down you may not be able to see it standing up.


Atiku / PDP are all shades of wrong for Nigeria and Nigerians. We can debate that right here on this thread and I will show you why.

I love you too which is why for the first time ever I want to debate this with you. In the religion section we have always been on the same side but here I will not let you make the wrong decisions and if indeed you admire me as you have said, you will listen to me.

Shall we?

sonofthunder:
lemme reserve my comment..... at least for now.

HungerBAD:



Thank you Madam.

It is never too late to retrace one's steps if walking down a dark alley.

sorom4:
You say President Buhari is not doing well and you want him out, but instead of voting for Buhari to leave you say you will vote for someone who won't win thereby making Buhari coast faster to easy victory.

What kind of sense is that one?
Kuku say you want Buhari to stay and stop the drama.
Don't even say you are voting for your conscience because your PVC is not a ticket to heaven nor to the Moralists Intellectuals Olympics.

Your PVC is only for electing people!
Nobody counts Protests votes in any election! Be honest and real and stop hawking your naivety.

I have OBIdiently ATIKUlated

GoodMuyis:
Hi bennyann
someone like my comment where I mentioned you so I decided to check if you are still online on nairaland then I saw this was your last post.

The nairaland religion section is getting toxic and directionless and the owner careless. I just moved out to work on my own platform for Christian only grace.com.ng (Others are welcome to outer court forum sha). grace.com.ng it should be 1+years old now but I don't have much time to work on it.

Back to the Topic.
You have a good observation on the subject, but then we Nigerians are too sentimental about our political stance, so it affects our sense of political selection. prior to 2015 election most of my close friend and church members were surprised to the way I became a fan of Buhari/Muslim candidate.

The same people who do not want Buhari/Muslim could not forgive themselves for labelling Buhari as Islamist are now faced with Atikulated Muslim. Hence, they result to pick new face hoping that many others will follow their pattern, not understanding that Politics is not played that way

bennyann:


I understand you though but I'm surprised myself. Gosh! You mean you supported Buhari just like Butterflyleo is doing now? Amazing!
