Agreed.

But Obasanjo has been giving the opposition some semblance of traction.

It wouldn't be fair for him to display an open endorsement of Jonathan because doing so would contradict the sundry statements he has made lately.

Let's us wait till Buhari's campaign train hits Ogun State before drawing conclusions.

Has it come to pass and have you changed you view?

Thank you for the response but when PDP members are emptied into APC, we are still dealing with the same set of people. I am not pro PDP in anyway. APC doesnt represent change. it is the gathering of the same set of people hell bent on crippling Nigeria. Only the party name changed. the attitude and the mindset remains the same. imagine notorious and well known corrupt politicians moving into APC and claiming change. When we sweep them out again if they fail, is it back to the same PDP. This are the same set of politicians you and I have been complaining about all this years. A word is enough for the wise. Vote someone neutral. there is no change it is still the same set of people.

Some will die, some will be imprisoned, some will have sense, the people will realize their strength and will not assist them in rigging. The mobilisation will be greater next time. You can see that Goodluck is not talking about his poverty or providing fresh air anymore. He is talking about what he has done or not done and how the opposition cannot do better. Nigerians are coming closer to whisper to each other what they think its right.
It is all about holding Government accountable and not hatred for a particular person as others will want the people to believe.
Again, they will wither, die off, be resisted, shamed or be checkmated by the people.

This thread shows that mentality of provincial thinkers. That you think such picture will weaken the resolve of Nigerians to act together shows that you have been taking to your brothers consistently if not exclusively to loss sight of what is the issue at stake.
Every Nigerian knows that the Yorubas are the kind of people that will be prostrating to you and after the period for that has lapsed they will say " me onigba ohh" my yoruba is poor but its something like "I dont agree". That lady will not waste time advising Buhari talkless of Aisha.

Dont even call this a welcome development or the beauty of democracy, cant you all see that PDP been emptied would never change Nigeria. The same set of people who destroyed Nigeria under PDP suddenly become progressive because they joined APC. They are joining the new train so as not to be left out in the looting. The old wine is just being poured into a new skin. Please don't make the mistake of voting APC. You are still voting for PDP in disguise. it is still the same set of people. Don't be carried away by change message, they only copy and paste Obamas campaign model. transformation and change na the same thing. Let us look towards other candidates that are unpopular. all this defectors have done their bit and failed the country. They will carry on with the same attitude. Please don't be blinded by sentiments. Prepare for another four years of talking and no result. Apart for the little done in Lagos and maybe Edo, APC cannot point to anything concrete. Buhari cannot use the same brute force he used several years ago to execute things, things have changed alot since then and age is not on his side at all. Osinbajo is in the pockets of a new cabal, Tinubu etal. We have seen that Jonathan can do nothing, people would continue to lose their lives in droves. Use your votes wisely to elect somebody neutral and new. We will eventually have to drink the so called oil that has been making Asari etal to be puffed up. there is over flooding of oil in the market, the prices will fall lower than what we have. There is nothing Buhari or Jonathan can do as per our economy, they dont have what it takes at all. WASC and 'PHD' my foot.

Your epistle fails to consider the impunity of PDP, a party that locks the entrance to the legislative chambers. That impunity accounted for its party members defecting to another party, do a search on the name of the people who defected you will find out that most of them bought the party's expression of interest and nomination form and were not allowed to contest the elections and no one was polite to them. Their impunity and disrespect to the people has traveled up to its senior members.
If the Government is changed or the pdp is weakened to near equal strength with other parties, all parties will be compelled to listen to the will of the people and to strive to do right. It is not really about the APC, it is about telling the party in power that there is a limit to misbehavior. I assure you that Nigerians will use the same broom to sweep out the next party in Government. But for now the handwriting is on the wall, how many believed that Sylva and Ameach will be campaigning for a party other than PDP in Bayelsa in the open and in the daytime and to leave the venue safely four years ago? Nigerians have just started, like you said it is not about APC or PDP. If the same yawa continues the broom may be used against the new bread with more ferocity.

makazona:
i dont blame you...you are not in the East,so you will not understand the hell we are passing through to get our PVCs (which INEC seems not to have).

dont guess and make such comments.its a critical time please.

That is what other Nigerians are saying, GEJ has failed to turn up when he is most needed by his peopl e north or South. Otherwise why will the SE which is the heartbeat of the president's vote not have their PVC easily? After all the is a Government for the Igbos and of the Igbos, it will loss steam without their support.

[quote author=calaway post=29805046][/quote]So make him marry mechine gun wey go de spread bullet anyhow.

tbaba1234:
If elections hold in Adamawa, I can't see GEJ winning.

I expect a drastic fall in the number of votes in the north. Can't see how GEj gets up to 300,000 votes in Sokoto or 400,000 in Jigawa and Katsina.

There is also a good chance GEJ loses Lagos, Ogun and Oyo.

Lamido, Wammakko and the disharmony in Katsina CPC, where responsible for the result in the respective states.

kingthreat:
It is photoshop. Look at Buhari's glasses

No light for your place ne? Abi you dey france?

Sources please. Or are you in his sitting from discussing the defection?

EUROBOMBER:
The killers should be found and executed. I do not support the killing of innocents persons whether they be PDP or APC members.

Under whose government?

justhelp:
WHY ALL THIS APC PEEPS WANT TO KILL JONA AND HIS saTAN SUPPORTERS NOW? WHY ARE THEY COMING WITH THIS KIND OF PICS AT THIS HOUR? MANY OF GEJ saTAN ON NL WILL DEVELOP HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE WITH THIS... ANYWAY AM JUST HERE TO PERFORM MY CIVIC RIGHT COME feBUAHRI 14, COS GMB IS MY VAL

The handwriting was on the wall long ago, Mr Beaf stopped posting for and in favour of Jonathan long ago.

Bruteforce1o1:
Jona see your life

Old soldiers doing their thing. Hmmmm

[quote author=thaoriginator post=29733810]I didn't even expect that much crowd for GEJ in Ogun bro.. But I notice that the whole thing is disorganized.. The crowds were just there, no chanting no motivation.. They probably went there to collect money not to listen to nonsense lies![/quote
He is a GEJ fan, a breed that that is playing neutral but it is not at all. Check his posts, you will find some calling Buhari names. They should convince us with goodlucks goodness and show he was accountable. Doing so will bring Nigerians to his side.

phlame:
Bro pliz edit ur comment make we for understand...

Read that comment again and do remember that context of the discussion. Thank you though a word was out of context.

WhiteTechnology:
You are political olodo


When we say North, we mean Hausa Fulani

I am sure you are a small boy. You must also be very ignorant of the composition of Nigeria and was busy "stealing" answer in primary up to tertiary stage of education. REALY A NIGERIAN SAYING THE NORTH IS ONLY HAUSA FULANI AND IS NOT HIGH ON BORROWED WEED?
Ok it's white technology am responding to. He is a confirmed clown. A politically neonate and blind one at that.

ibisko04:
Obasanjo is not bowing for Mr Jonathan but the position he is occupying today.

It was a private event. It was not official, event though GEJ IS President the event was a relations marriage.

maestroferddi:
You are trying too hard to kick up a fuss where no-one exists.

Jonathan has been well-received in his SW campaign. There is nothing you guys can do about it.

It was only decorous for Jonathan to routinely try to visit Obasanjo during a stumping activity in Ogun State. Whatever Obasanjo chooses to do remains his business. Obasanjo is not the most popular politician in the SW, in any case.

Let's see how it pans out but I know that Jonathan wouldn't garner less than 50% of total votes that would be cast in the SW.

In the past Obasanjo will speak at this sort of visit.

atlwireles:
Obasanjo takes a bow at the Jonathan’s wedding.

The biggest mistake Jonathan made is in shaking his hand in that posture. To allow a former president to kowtow to you like that when you are "fighting or he is fighting you" means you don't want that fight to end.
He just spoke with all the marketwomen leaders in the southwest, the mothers of lawyers, doctors, pilots, engineers, vulcanizers, drivers, conductors, layabout and other opinion leaders.
Some of the children of of those women employ thugs or protect them. It was a mistake for him to smile when that posture was assumed by obj.

alaoeri:
If u wanna campaign for Buhari just give GEJ a mic & watch how he will honourably campaign for the ppl's general. Imagine a president yarning dust in the name of campaigning.
Sai BUHARI 2015.

I think you are right. His speech writers or speech advisers are doing a bad job. Better still Nigerians now pay more attention to his comments. In my opinion all Nigerians want to say corrupt public officers- career, elected or appointed in prison and stripped of every penny stolen from the people. Even if the offices used the money to buy an expensive pant.

joeyekembele:
I am neither an APC nor a PDP member. But honestly, the likes of you ought to go back to school so as to learn the basics of English language. That is why graduating from a village community school can be embarrassing. The state did not say 'the leading political party in Niger state ' but states that, " one of the leading political parties". It could be APC or PDP. Show some level of intelligence.

Very deceptive. Your post seems neutral but alas the uncouth language exposed you as a staunch pdp bullfighter. To people who know it is certain that it is pdp that was buying out voters PVC, because you did not categorically mention anyone else.

eph12:
Which of the governors did not perform poorly in Nigeria? Especially those in their second tenures?
As for people claiming that the BH was ignored by the government, well that's what they believe because their leaders want them to believe so. I thank God that I was alive when the northern leaders were crying genocide anytime the soldiers attack BH. Enough said.

Please go an educate yourself on the issue of claim of genocide relating to leaders from Northern Nigeria. you can do that by tying genocide,Nyako, Boko haram and Northerners. Google, Bing, Yahoo or any search engine will give you some clue to correct the misinformation that you may suffer from. If however you are out to disinform or misinform I will say that statement is attributed to Murtala Nyako, in case you dont know, he ensured that Jonathan won Adamawa against Buhari. Buhari was a kinsman to Nyako being Fulani, a muslim, military man and a northerner. Nyako said that the military was ill equipped deliberately not to defeat Boko haram and the FG has left the funding of the military in part to Northern states as a means to deplete their resources. That GEJ allowed conflict to escalate in the North along sectarian divide for Political reason Other allegations you will get from your search or you already know.
The big question is will Goodluck campaign on the canvass of fresh air or he was in penury and get support like he did. He has in part succeed by alienating most Igbos from what the rest of Nigeria thinks needs to be done. Many more Nigerians are not fools any more.

teufelein:
Lmao...you people are fighting a war on nothing, on nothing because you can't win anything on nothing. how can you win or lose on nothing?
There'll be no election next month, feb. 2015.

PS: Any Igbo supporting Buhari must have his/her DNA checked....somewhere is something wrong.

Why? When goodluck is going to win? How will the next president be goodluck if there is no election next month? who will be surprised if any government agencies come out and say there wouldnt be any elections for any reason? where did you get that information? what informed your comment, is it fear of defeat? What is you post suggesting?

highmood:
Gradually God will be exposing some desperate and fanatical Muslim politicians who detest other religions and are hell bent in Islamizing this country.

The PDP government in Katsina must go. We see what seeking to win cheap political point has cause you.

eph12:
I wish I know the answer to this question

There is very little excuse to vote Goodluck in the North. Imposition of candidates in his own pdp in the North, Taraba and Adamawa is a reference case.
Most Governors who support in the North have performed Poorly o they see that he does not have their region at heart.
Importantly most Northerners believe a conspiracy theory that Boko haram was taken over or igonered by goverment or peo in cohort with her todepopulate and unsettle it.
Again he has not performed so well.

[quote author=GhaliNaaba post=29671966]I must let you know that Yoruba are the most matured/ focused and enlighten race in nigeria. Don't mistake knowledge for wisdom. He will surely deal with him accordingly come feb 14, 2015
That Obasanjo attended mr president daughters weeding have nothing to do with coming election.
Obasanjo is a general and he never loose a battle and its not going to change come 2015.
GEJ won't tell me he forgot how he disarmed and intimidate the man in PDP and how he deliberately frustrated the OBJ men out of PDP, he should not forget so soon on how he bite the finger that fed him.
Hahahahahahahahaha OBJ don't forgive and even GEJ knows, he is in trouble.[/quote
I also remember a certain Congolese who danced with obj only to be arrested a few days later.

penisilin:
saTANians see IGBOS as tools to be used and discarded, vain promises by gej... They are more than that, build refineries in Nigeria and igbos will market Nigeria's products to Jupiter... Give us good roads and even the Kunu u make in Ajegunle will be sold in Taraba... Give us electricity and the igbos will turn the sky to HDTV for us... btw I'm a Lagosian... Igbo kwenu!!! Vote CHANGE

Taraba has more kunu than Ajegunle.
Thanks

I am not joking. Margin of error 17%
Cause-flaw pdp primaries and insecurity.

Nobleval:
what David Mark or Mattew said doesn't matter,they're just politics. You have to look at what's on ground...the reality. Buhari is not a formidable opponent,forget the hypes and noises.

In the south east or in Nigeria?

And the winner is abagworo with pictures.

meracool:
Are there no CCTV in the capital atleast the Unknown Persons Can be Unraveled.

Wake up from your sleep. Nepal, phcn and EDC NEVER bring light talk less of CCTV.

barcanista:
You may be foolish, but the Ijaws are not. Maybe you need to read the statement of MEND to get a clue. I am passionate about Ijaw project, Jonathan doesn't represent it. If the region will become worse than it was before his ascension to power, then you think we are foolish? Now I know that he will win majority Ijaw votes due to brotherly sentiment, but Buhari will get a percentage. When election is declared and Jonathan is defeated, NO IJAW son or daughter will take up arms. Not even Asari Dokubo. I know my people, we aren't fools. And btw: Are you an Izon?

Last three words with the question mark is important.
