@beaf,
if there is any fool here, i think is u and whosoever u represent. what is the role of a president in choosing a gov in a democratic setting?  i was listening to the new yellow paw paw in the name of bruce lee saying and spitting all he will do with bayelsa. he mentioned how rich his state is and how the masses suffer poverty and rejection. he used his silverbird to show the state. what came to my mind is; is this the same state jonathan ruled and became the most qualified gov to be vice president and president of nigeria respectively.
is it not important to name the achievements of jonathan in that state to enable us think of what to expect from him as nigerians.
if jonathan cld not do anything useful in the richest state in nigeria(according jackie  ben bruce lee), why are we wasting time thinking he will do any magic.
jonathan can't take his own decisions as the president of nigeria so why is he trying to impose a gov on the ppl of bayelsa?
even if sylva is going to loose the battle, a man must fight and loose than to just surrender.
look at the president you are always preaching. he can't do anything to stop boko haram but he can arrest a youth leader for organising a peaceful protest. he arrested chief raymond dokpesi because he did not support his presidential plans calling his a bomber. is it not the same dokpesi that joined his camp by force and become free?

What i don't understand is this;
the same PDP (and by extension GEJ) that allowed the likes of T.A. Orji and Uduaghan to run and win a 2nd term is refusing Sylva?
It seems the laws in GEJ land is made up on the fly based on your present alignment with the powers that be.

I really don't care who wins the election as long as the people of Bayelsa have a hand and a majority say in who it is.
However, i am not holding my breath as the past does not give room for such hope.

Looking at the field of contestants, you are left to wonder what it is about our polity that throws up charlatans and clowns as aspirants for political office? There is something fundamentally wrong about the system because there is just no way these clowns can lead us to the promised land.

It looks near natural that every credit in a country shd be heaped on the leader
There the leader shd willingly accept all liabilities
Sounds balanced , but the real fact is that our own man is not interested in burning his fingers
He washes his hands off all intrigues like what is playing out in Bayelsa now over PDP primaries
Its unfortunate that many people wont believe Mr Presidents hands are clean
He allows everybody equal opportunity
Looking back we can easily see how Iyabo fell
Ordinarily such a thing looks impossible, daughter of bot chair losing an election in Nigeria
But we are all witnessing these turning points in our history
One day we will all look back & say GEJ meant well for Nigeria
