I quite like this post from debosky. It points at very telling changes brought into Africa's biggest party by GEJ's administration. It isn't perfect, but this is what we for not just the PDP, but the whole of Nigeria, we expect positive, fundamental changes. Way to go GEJ, way to go!

Please add your views, lets debate the keen observations below.

debosky: Say what you will about GEJ, Atiku and the PDP as a whole, but this is a marked improvement on the PDP primaries of the past.

The previous ones always had sudden withdrawals from the race at the 11th hour, due to pressure brought to bear (usually by OBJ and his cronies) in an attempt to foist a candidate on the party, followed by a sham election of a 'consensus candidate'.

In this case however, no one was disqualified, no candidate was sabotaged by last minute court orders, no arms were twisted with fictitious EFCC investigations appearing out of thin air amongst others.

We all suspect that money would've changed hands at some point, but that is currently inevitable in Nigerian politics.

When all these factors are taken into account, this has been the most democratic presidential primary ever held by the PDP. There was no 'selection' this time and we could clearly see the winner emerge.

Yes problems exist in the PDP, they are still mostly a gathering of opportunistic thieves, but we could at least see an element of progress over the last primaries.

Now GEJ must do his best to unite the party behind him and then get the entire nation to support him. If he doesn't, the PDP infighting will provide more of a headache for him than any opposition party can.

There was a fine lady called Roful Maos
Who rarely had a cheerful word to say
So she spent a lot of time chasing shadows
And telling happiness and joy to go away

So if you ever see Mz Roful Maos
Don't you dare let her know you tend to smile
Or she'll say real loud "Here come the wackos"
then go back to waiting like a crocodile.

Roful Maos,  Roful Maos don't you know
There's a lotta good, if you only care to look
Instead of strugglin'  I say go with the flow
Then just maybe I'll let you off the hook

Off the hook, off the hook Roful Maos
Johnny B. Good is off the hook
Buhari is BOUND to lose, even as you snooze
Its off the hook, Roful Maos, off the hook

Nice poem. You're good man!
Yes, most are so morose, they can't tell a pound for tuppence, they keep "waiting like a crocodile" and can't see the truth, yet:

There's a lotta good, if you only care to look

Life is easy really. Most never commented on the words of the article, but simply regressed to crocodilian death roll mode.

PDP is now just a regional party and for that we should all be grateful. thank you jona, you killed the beast that gave you life.

Well, some of us have been praying for this to happen. The northern elites created the monster called PDP. With that turn by turn arrangement, its practically impossible to beat. Now we shall see how rigging on a wide scale will be possible.

Thats quite funny, cos even Atiku doesn't seem in any hurry to leave. IBB is reaching out to Jonathan to make peace, dude, it would seem you are own your own.
PDP was a party built for corrupt regional domination, but it is now a vast all-inclusive umbrella under GEJ, a party where merit and order prevail. Did you witness the exemplary primaries? Pearless!

I dub thee Sir Jakumo of Nairaland!

Your poem is off the hook, i particularly liked the Buhari is bound to loose, sounds like music to my ears, great music!

GEJ turned water into wine, as well.

GEJ died for our sins.

Vote for GEJ!

think of the long game here people. some of you guys are playing chequers while others are playing chess.

i'll give anybody brownie points who can tell me why ibb is being so magnanimous in defeat?? anyone?? i'll give you a clue: a few BIG court cases are coming up.

party unity before the court case, party unity during the court case and party unity after the court case.

What happened to the "BIG court cases" to stop the PDP primaries and Jonathan? Abeg, stop making cheap noise and seek reconciliation, if that is too hard seek the nearest cliff. Do or die ethnically bigoted politics has been resoundingly defeated and the wise are doing the right things.

Are you from a different country from Jonathan, or who do you think you are? It is either you accept the olive branch or be helped in your headlong race to the abbys.

Why do you just spout rubbish? Do you even know what the PDP constitution says? Let me tell you that if anyone goes to court based on the PDP constitution they will lose.

It has amazed me how this noise about court cases has continued without any recourse to the facts. If you disagree state what you think you know and I will educate you.

it has nothing to do with bigotry or do or die politics or any other paranoid plot that is festering in your simple little mind. it is simply a matter of respecting a party's constitution. a constitution that stipulates zoning. a constitution that put gej in the position he is in today. a constitution that he signed willingly. a constitution which a judge of the high court has recently recognised as containing a zoning agreement.

let me tell you a little something about zoning. who here can name me ONE well known national politician from the south south before the pdp during the previous republics and military regimes? anyone. nope. and yet here we have a man jeopardising any future participation in national politics by minority people because of obj's third term agenda. it's totally selfish and reckless. however, while I agree in principle that politics should always be about the best man for the job, the nigerian electorate unfortunately isn't sophisticated enough to always select the right candidate - as can be seen in the case of GEJ (whom even his biggest admires would admit IS NOT THE BEST NIGERIA CAN OFFER). until nigerian's are able to pick their leaders based on merit and merit alone, zoning is the best system in ensuring that all regions of this country are fairly looked after and represented and the high table in national politics.

Oh pray tell johndoe200. I can't wait to hear your response. I'm getting my popcorn ready.

I asked you if you know what the PDP constitution says, you have not answered.

I will just ask you a few questions more:

1. What does the rotation in the PDP constitution refer to?
2. What does the zoning in the PDP constitution refer to?
3. What are the bodies in the PDP that kind bind the PDP to any agreement?
4. What do political parties produce? Candidates or Presidents?
5. Who has a "term"? A candidate or an elected official?
6. What is the function of the PDP NATIOANL CONVENTION?
7. According to the PDP constitution, how often is this to be held?

Dude, please shut it!

Your zoning was a primitive ploy to milk the nations wealth through the application of ethnic bigotry. It has failed, accept it, wash your face and move on. You must understand that so far, a lot of patience has been extended to you guys out of Jonathans wisdom and cool headed ways; do not mistake that for weakness as you did before, this time it might be very disastrous; 5 months is a shorter period than you understand.
Everybody wants peace, but the wise know that it is dangerous to push quiet people.

As for the SS producing the President, are SS people not Nigerians? Is any Nigerian more Nigerian than others? Are some born slaves, while others are born to rule? I must ask again, who do you really think you are?
For your info, zoning did not produce GEJ, rather agitation against parasites did. Your do or die methods, zoning, ethnic bigotry and ugly politics were all about etnic domination, that is gone.

The same PDP you want to hold at bomb point to accept zoning, voted in an extremely transparent process and resoundingly rejected zoning. So let any man born of woman begin airing his arse about making the nation ungovernable or similar crap and lets see the end result. Dude, look at it this way, people are simply tired of you people.

Honestly, some people are going to slit their wrists should GEJ win the presidential election.

So much hate, sarcasm and vitriol towards the man. Tone it down guys!!

Propagation of Lies Lies Lies  - when it going to stop and we face reality. We r still building on faulty foundations.

One thing you forget to realise is that a mixture of evil and good to achieve a temporary good aim will never stand the test of time. I can assure you that is not going to start  with the so called sham primaries all over the country most notable the pdp primaries. for It to stand the test of time it has be outright good.

After 11 years of misrule you all witness a so called madeup primaries and y all are celebrating when the entire arena was filled  past and present crooks

You forgot acknowledge the power of brown envelopes, Anneih promising to fish out delegates who dont vote for GEJ, The release of a Murder called Senator Folarin so that he can be at the primaries, The depletion of the Excess Crude account to finance last minute political mago mago.  The Attempt to change the constitution to make assembly members delegates of political parties THE LIST IS ENDLESS.

If the above is what you call democracy then we are finished.

OMO IBO:

Honestly, some people are going to slit their wrists should GEJ win the presidential election.

Omo Ibo, every human being should retain the option of pulling the plug on their own life if they experience great frustration and anguish, as many certainly will when Johnny B. Good sails to electoral victory in the coming presidential polls.

For those sad folks who choose the honorable Shogun MODALITY of departing to heaven when the election results are published, rest assured that you will all be eulogized as HEROES in your own living rooms ha ha ha.
