I sincerly hope we will not have political jobbers, groups like Youths Earnestly Ask for Jona, Dbanj, Lagbaja, Sunny Ade all singing for your second term bid? I sincerly hope also, you will not come out and openly deny you didnt make such promise or statements as you did about the zoning saga.

On that fateful sunday, you revealed that “The NNPC is developing a new programme that will absorb about 5,000 youths, ”, Mr. President, Deltans are delighted at this REVELATIONS. While that number is a far cry from the number of unemployed youths in the state, at all at all na winch (as we say in Warri), so Deltans are waiting.

25.Katsina, was your port of call on March 15 where you promised to enhance the living standard of Nigerians through implementation of people-oriented programmes that would provide citizens the necessary opportunities to realise their potentials.
In my opinion, this was just mere rhetorics as you did not make any concrete promises. or did you have the premonition, you will lose in Katsina? I might just be right.

26.In Kano, you pledged to resuscitate the nation’s power sector and encourage the development of small and medium scale enterprises in the country while ensuring justice, equity and fair play in the polity.

Mr.President, Space will not allow me to list the deluge of promises in Lagos, Osun, Borno, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Enugu, Imo, Taraba, Jigawa, Edo, Bayelsa and Zamfara states. If you can accomplish all your promises in the next four years, then you will go down memory lane as the best President ever.

Jakumo:
Right now I am wearing a brand new Stetson cowboy hat in that Executive Black color scheme, just like the one donned at all times by Johnny Goodluck, in the hopes that my luck will be, well,  good.

Congratulations to the good guy in the black hat -  J[b]ohnathan Goodluck, who rose from poverty amid the Niger Delta oil-fields to become Nigeria's FIRST CITIZEN[/b], and shining beacon of hope to all, especially the long-forgotten custodians of the nation's black gold reserves.  

All the very best with your FIRST full term in office, Your Excellency,  and we look forward to your triumphal return for a  second term, after your re-election in 2015.   We're in it for the long run, sir.

gokuu:
GEJ is with real people where as buhari is with charlartans! What a shame on buhara!

otokx:
our security and intelligence services should have foreseen this and keep a mechanism in place to address the situation.
