Buhari has integrity but lacks competency. Atiku has capacity but lacks integrity.
Unfortunately, there is no third force.

And then fiam,..u spend almost a year cumulatively on same medical tourism with ur biker son(and recently ur wife).I will reduce presidential air fleet,i will fly commercial, bla bla bla.. Even yusuf flies private. I dont have a penny,..yet ur son owns bikes worth over a hundred million. Abeg buharu no integrity anything,make una no dey deceive unaselves again.

With almajiris in the North, it will be difficult to change the direction of voting in this country. When people like Buhari boasts, it's because they know that a group exists who will always vote for them whether they perform or not, a group that doesn't understand the meaning of the word 'suffering'. A group that the northern elites will simply line up on election day to thumb print en mass for the candidates they elites want. A group who are incapable of using their heads.

As much as the coalition going on isn't going to work, I'm on the same page with the Prof. Obviously, either Atiku or Buhari will win. The votes, the likes of Kingsley Moghalu,Fela Durotoye and Sowore will get can be termed encouragement votes grin. We know they can't win a state. Let them begin to evolve from now.
The next decade shouldn't be for the old wines in new bottles

Not the way forward but paving the way forward.

Voting him to complete all the projects currently ungoing. That I can trust him on.

I can't afford to go back to Egypt.
tenmariner:
Simple, clear and straightforward. There is a devastating way on how a poor economy can affect the mind. Such is the case of Nigeria. The suffering mentality has reduced people's capacity to reason rationally. Buhari is not the way forward, but replacing him with Atiku is synonymous to "the dance of the Penguins" One step forward and then, two steps backward.

Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka has said that: ‘I Wole Soyinka will not be voting for either the two so called contesting parties. I find both of them worthy of absolute rejection.’

Soyinka made this known in an ongoing interactive session tagged citizen forum 2019.

He said “It is time for a totally new direction, and when an alternative emerges, we will give the candidate our backing,”

“For the avoidance of doubt, let me make my position quite clear because I don’t want any ambiguity; I Wole Soyinka will not be voting for either the two so called contesting parties. I find both of them worthy of absolute rejection,” he said.

“For a number of reasons which I will not go into here, I’m not interested in a comparative assessment. My position is simply that it is time for a totally new direction. And obviously, I’m not the only one, as I’m speaking, there is a coalition having its meeting in Lagos from which they hope to produce a consensus candidate.

“There is another group meeting in Abuja, also at the end would send us their consensus candidate. Things have been going on quietly in the background to try and change the direction of this nation in a very positive way, and to make the public understand that they do not have to be enslaved permanently to the old discredited order. It is my sole business in this election.

“I don’t believe in what is called negative vote which means, for me, throwing your vote in a waste basket, I believe instead in a creative vote, not a protest vote, not a negative vote but a creative vote. And a creative vote means that the will to at least sow a seed through your vote that will germinate eventually. The pace of germination is beyond the control of everyone, but it is never too early to make a beginning. It has happened before in other societies. When a dark horse emerges from nowhere and trumps all the political juggernauts caterpillars and so on with their performers, worthless, their capacity for violence and treachery.”

You see, the people supporting Atiku are people that are tired of this Current administration, while the people supporting Buhari are the unrepentant "Zombies" and will not vote for any other candidate aside Buhari

Some people are both tired of this current adminstration and the previous adminstration preceding it, those are the people supporting Sowore, Durotoye, Moghalu etc,

Buhari's Supporters are fixed, regardless of what he does, they must still vote for him, while Atiku's Supporters can decide to vote for any other candidate, so if they do so, it will reduce the chances of Atiku winning the election and it will surely boost the chances of Buhari winning it
