I just read a report   that GEJ offered a  #100,000($750) each to participants at an endorsement ceremony for him.Sometime ago,when the SNG came visiting ,he also offered them"T FARE" which they declined.I think all these are acts of desperation on his part.And he needs to explain the source of these monies,if not from the treasury. www.saharareporters.com/news

@OP

Oju o tin yin. useless post.

Another lame attempt at curbing GEJ's soaring popularity accross the nation after NASS election.

The blackmail continues. Unconfirmed stories.
We have seen how desperate he is by allowing JEGA a free hand something OBJ could never do and even Buhari could not allow free and fair election in his small party.

I want Nigerians to take

Submitted by joe igbokwe (not verified) on April 11, 2011 - 13:57.
I want Nigerians to take notice of what happened after the NASS elections on Saturday.The corrupt and desperate leadership of PDP either released the results favourable to ACN first so that when we go to celebrate they will go to other areas to steal our votes or they saw defeat and disgrace coming to them and simply decided to help themselves by running to other areas in Nigeria to steal their future.In IMO STATE materials were deliberately delayed till evening in most part of the STATE just to discourage people and cheat them.Voting lasted till night in IMO STATE in particular. INEC pls take notice.Listen to all complaints.

re NGO endorsement

Submitted by Akpala (not verified) on April 11, 2011 - 13:36.
I have problems with the pattern of insults dole out to people as long as they have different opinion from that of ACN sponsored sahara reporters. we know that Tinubu paid your way out of Nigeria and also paid your hospital bills when you were attacked as an SUG President in Unilag. But be your own man sometime. Some of the persons you attacked in this piece are people well know to us for over 15years that could be referred to as stakeholders in our democracy as they were there during the pro-democracy struggle.Appreciate effort being made by these people to improve our political horizon rather than throw mud on their good name. Buhari can not be a GOOD PRESIDENT because it is not 1983 and we do not need another Obasanjo of I know it all.Ribadu was Obasanjo's harassing machine. That PDP is called a bad party was because General Obasanjo was bad. Respect other people's view

Thanks GEJ FOR THE FAIREST ELECTION IN HISTORY OF NIGERIA

Submitted by Dana lar (not verified) on April 11, 2011 - 13:24.
Let's thank GEJ for providing us with the freest election ever in Nigeria's history. He has achieved a very big feat. In fact, this shows that Jonah at the helm can reform PDP and end corruption in Nigeria. Buhari's only message to convince us to make him president is that he was not caught in corrupt practices. In Nigeria only those who could not hide their loot are seen to be corrupt. Buhari openly pronounced that Abacha was not a corrupt man; translate: If Buhari believes Abacha was not corrupt, it means that Buhari must have stolen more than Abacha, hence compared to Buhari's loots, Abacha was not corrupt.
Buhari is green snake in green grass: now he is pretending not to have anything to do with Mohammed Abacha, but in the dark Buhari is planning for Mohammed Abacha to succeed him if both wins.

I am Mr. Jonathan's critic, but he deserves credit for this election. Apart from appointing Jega, he allowed the security agents to be neutral. Obasanjo could not do that in the elections that he organized and Yaradua did worst in Ekiti. He deserves some praises. He has shown that he is not a tout. My problem with him is the kind of people that he soruonds himself with.

If GEJ is a popular candidate as his supporters would want us to believe, why is he running from pillar to post for endorsement of groups of hustlers; using "our" money for "transport fare" for them. I am afraid for 9aija, 'cos he might beat IBB's record of "settlement" if elected.

Nigeria will change and if the next two elections follow suite, then GEJ, win or not, might be remembered as one of our greatest presidents or at-least a catalyst for that change.

Kudos Mr. President.

The fact that Jega was appointed under Jonathan does not mean that this election is free and fair because of Jonathan. Jega took all the blame for things going wrong and should also take all the credit when things go right. After all the decision to use the open secret ballot system is not GEJs', is it?

SR, I beg wetin GEJ do una? ACN won all the seats in Lagos. This is considered free and fair, no rigging. If its PDP that won landslide like that, it would have been deemed as rigging. Its time for us to call a spade a spade and understand that the parties are all fingers of one leprous hand. Even among the people winning outside PDP, many of them were in the PDP before.

As for GEJ for once he stood his ground not minding if his party will lose and a much better election than we have ever had has been held. Lets give him credit.

It appears SR is now the wise medium but remember, The Bible says, God will use the foolish things of this world to confound the wise.

ACN is a Yoruba Party and is sectional and PDP is broad base party and never sectional, therefore PDP is till the party to beat and is going to win. This election has proved once again that ACN is tribal Yoruba party consigned only to the South-west. It is impossible for such a sectional Party to produce a President for Nigeria, despite the rascality of ACN and its thugs, it would never happen now or ever unless the Yorubas spurn tribalism ,but a leoprad cannot change its spot.

But please cancel the robbery that took place in Akwa Ibom in the name of election. You said loud and clear when you visited that state that you do not want the blood of any Nigerian to become President; and yet the government that be in Akwa Ibom has been shedding the blood of innocent Akwa Ibomites to remain in power: the blood of those people is crying for vengence before the throne of God who alone gives power to whomsoever He wills. The people are now saying no to these blood drinkers. It is recommended that special day be fixed for all the elections except Presidency in Akwa Ibom where Prof. Jega will be on ground with his commissioners particularly Mike Igini and conduct free and fair election in the state.

Fellow Nierians, GEJ has done very well by chosing a radical like Jega to take charge of INEC inspite of the attack he received from the PDP members.
Now he has proved not to be a do-or-die President. My wish is that he wins the next election for two reasons:
1. We do not need "MEND reincarnate",for once lets the minority have sence of belonging to Nigeria; this will ensure sucess in the Power Sector for signifiacant road map has been established.
2.Any new CPC, ACN will want to start afresh. In Nigeria we do not give credit to opposition if he has done very well. We are used to throwing away the bathwater and the baby. This will be retrogression!!!!

I am a lover of good governance.

Finnaly I hope the new set of NASS will bring hope as its clear PDP will not make the 2/3 of NASS,let the parties ensure that thier member hold firm to the principle of seperation of powers.

SOAE,ABK

BAKARE USED BY BUHARI TO HOODWINK THE S/West: BUHARI CPC FAILED

Submitted by Arise Nigeria, No to Buhari (not verified) on April 11, 2011 - 10:55.
Buhari tried to play smart on the people of the southwest by using Tunde Bakare. It did not work in the last assembly elections. It may never work during the presidential election. Buhari's CPC hardly won seats as expected in the last assembly elections. The CPC is another Tea Party that reigns only in the minds of its conveners. Buhari led Nigeria as a coup d'etat. He does not deserves to be elected president. Doing so is destroying Nigerian army whose soldiers must always be scheeming to topple civilian governments, afterall we paid Buhari. God Forbid.
Buhari at 70 is a very weak man. He ran away from his earlier political parties because of inceasant quarrels with party members. We expect Buhari to also quarrel with Bakare any time from now.
