So many adult with kid's brain on nairaland. So the fact that amaechi supported Buhari now translates to being used and dumped. Someone who is in control of the party structure in his state?? A man that would always be remembered as being fearless unlike Babangida Aliyu(Niger state) and Sule lamido (Jigawa) who are scared of leaving PDP because of GEJ's Unknown Punishment. Lest I forget , what will GEJ be remembered for after leaving Aso rock next year

Listen and listen carefully, no amount of propaganda would stop GMB from becoming our president next year... Electorates are wiser now

@op, you read my mind..... Osibanjo has no electoral value compared to heavyweight such as amaechi

Intelligence and beauty....

NNPC is not as corrupt as Nigeria Army..... Superior officers siphoning funds that is meant for the Junior officers....Dia is God o

tit:
vote a coupist
a killer
and a thief

Sense you no get

Mr tompolo, that story is meant for the gods

To ensure that the National Boundary Development Agencies are funded to tackle the challenges that arose out of the ceding of Bakassi to Cameroun

Today, we must rebuild the bridge that will bring change to Nigeria and more Nigerians closer to the promise of Nigeria.

Today you will have the opportunity to change broken promises to fulfilled promises and rescue Nigeria from mismanagement and bad governance.

Our party has carefully developed a Manifesto through which the broken and unfulfilled promises made to the people of Nigeria can be actualized.

The Manifesto is anchored on changing insecurity to security.

That Manifesto will change a dysfunctional government to an efficient Government.

That Manifesto will change underdevelopment to rapid and accelerated development.

That Manifesto will change our poor circumstances to a prosperous dawn.

That Manifesto will change Nigeria’s global reputation from its current dismal status to one of international respect and global admiration.

One man will bear the responsibility and enormous burden for implementing that Manifesto and the change that it brings.

All of you, our delegates are the men and women to whom history has been so kind to bring to this day, to this State, to this venue and to this moment, to choose that man with your votes.

Let me be clear. What you are gathered to do is epical.

What you are gathered to do is not easy. Change is not easy.

What you are gathered to do is important to the whole world.

Let me remind you that we gather to vote to make a choice that will alter the way Nigeria develops and in that way, Africa develops.

You are gathered to elect the potential leader of Africa’s most populous nation.

You are gathered to elect the Ambassador of Change.

Please do so wisely, decorously and with a sense of duty.

God bless you all as you cast the votes to change Nigerians for the better. Long live the All Progressives Congress.

Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Thank you.


Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN

Governor of Lagos State

My duty today is simple; yet it is one that excites me very deeply because as I welcome you all to Lagos and to the first Presidential Convention of the All Progressives Congress, I am confident that I am welcoming you to change.

I welcome you to a change that is for the better.

I welcome you to change that will liberate Nigeria from inefficient national management.

I welcome you all delegates from across Nigeria, to Lagos, where the first building blocks of the country now known as Nigeria were laid.

I welcome you back to the epicenter of nationalism and the home of change, where our pre-eminent nationalists forced a change from colonial government to a Nigerian government.

I welcome you all back to where the promise of Nigeria was hatched, as a land of endless opportunities.

Unfortunately, the bridge between us and our opportunities have been shattered by a series of broken promises by a party, Government and President for whom promises mean nothing.

I have made it my task to record as many of the promises made by President Jonathan and his party. The lists of promises are as long as the list of disappointments.

All over Nigeria, he made promises to us and as far as Lagos is concerned, I can tell you that those promises remain unfulfilled without explanation.

I do not know what all experiences from your various states are, but I will repeat here, some of the promises that I recorded that he made across Nigeria and ask you to tell us whether they have been fulfilled.

GBTYO:
You won't know the truth if it walked up to you and smacked your block head.

Dude, no amount of propaganda would stop GMB from becoming our president next year... electorates are wiser now

[size=18pt]Buhari A religious Fanatic - Sijuade[/size]

1. (C) Summary: In a February 5 meeting with the Consul General, Yoruba traditional leader the Ooni of Ife, Okunade Sijuade, suggested presidential candidate Muhammadu Buhari was a religious "fanatic" who would sow discord if elected. PDP candidate Umaru Yar'Adua, on the other hand, would maintain stability and had Sijuade's support. Sijuade and Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode agreed Vice President Atiku Abubakar should be arrested on charges of corruption. This would prevent Atiku from destabilizing a Yar'Adua
presidency, they declared. End summary.

Ooni did not Support Buhari in 2006

4. (C) With Odili's chances extinguished, the three men no longer felt bound to the agreement on supporting a southern candidate. Being ardent opponents of Obasanjo, they were loath to back his hand-picked successor. They also could not side with Vice-President Atiku because of Atiku's affinity for Lagos Governor Tinubu, who for these Yoruba leaders, was only slightly less leperous than Obasanjo. The process of elimination lead them to endorse Buhari, the Ooni contended. Buhari, whose support in the south was essentially nonexistent, would soon seek the Ooni's blessings, predicted the Ooni. He said such blessing would not come forth from his lips.


Buhari Would Not Provide Stability



5. (C) Sijuade indicated Yar'Adua would maintain political and ethnic stability in Nigeria. Evaluating the two leading northern political candidates, he declared Buhari unfit for the presidency. Calling Buhari a "fanatic" and "jihadist", Sijuade said Nigeria needed a president with "good education and family background." As an example of the desired pedigree, Sijuade pointed to Yar'Adua, whose grandmother was sister of the prince of Katsina. Given his background, Sijuade said, Yar'Adua would not "think of jihad". In an aside, Aviation Minister Kayode claimed that
Buhari would have a difficult time campaigning due to lack of funds. Kayode asserted Buhari had been the beneficiary of subvention from Saudi Arabia and Libya but the GON had plugged those spigots. Alluding to his much publicized confrontation with Libyan leader Qaddafi at the Abuja airport several months ago, Kayode asserted some of the Libyan's pique was due to the GON stopping him from discharging large
amounts of currency from the airplane. According to Kaoyde, the funds were intended to support fundamentalist elements in Nigeria, including Buhari.

Who takes ooni of ife serious in this country, he is always with highest bidder... Lest I forget, he is part of the cabal destroying this wonderful nation...

Propaganda...

Nice move GMB, In politics no permanent friends , no permanent foes. If possible, pay a visit to ebora owu in Ota. Your victory is certain come February 2015.In God we trust

The verdict is obvious

tit:
mumu,
is tinubu kworrupt?

I don't blame you, you have been brainwashed ....and your gullibility can not be redeemed...

tit:
Breaking news!
The latest!!










Tinubu is not quorrupt - Major General Alhamdullahi Muhammadu Buhari!

its official, the nairaland slowpoke award has been given to tit...

reliableme:
sai Buhari

GMB all the way

Remarkable:
Mods. please close this thread... or someone should please post that Datoleeès thread for this OP., maybe he is new....

why not close it yourself...

gratiaeo:
Buhari is a bigot

Prove this now or I will conclude that you are part of the slowpokes who thrives on propaganda....

5 Strong lies being peddled against GMB by PDP.

1. Religious Bigot

PDP continues to peddle this deception towards General Muhammadu Buhari just to tarnish his image. Portraying him as a religious bigot is an injustice to his personality. If he is a religious bigot as they want us to believe, he wouldn’t have picked Pastor Tunde Bakare as his running mate in 2011.

2. Boko Haram Sponsor.

Before the death of General Andrew Owoye Azazi, the former National security adviser. He blamed the rise of insurgence by boko haram on the internal wrangling of PDP. The President himself claimed that members of the deadly group were in the executive, legislative and Judiciary arms of the government. With all these facts before us, I still don’t understand why some Nigerians link BH with GMB. No amount of propaganda would stop the people's general from becoming our president next year.

3. Islamization of Nigeria.
Lol, I can’t stop laughing at this statement. The funniest part is that some educated Nigerians believes this crap. If GMB as a military head of states didn’t Islamize Nigeria, how will he Islamize Nigeria under a democratic settings where decisions will be taken in accordance with Nigeria constitution. We can’t be divided along the religious lines anymore, electorates are wiser now.

4. He has nothing to offer
Who told these slowpokes that GMB has nothing to offer? As a military head of states, General Muhammadu Buhari created two oil refineries (Warri and Kaduna refineries) and also spearheaded the construction of 20 oil depots nationwide. Under the leadership of GMB as the federal commissioner for petroleum resources, he restructured Nigeria National Oil Corporation and the Ministry of Petroleum resources to form Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
With the help of home based economists, he was able to reduce the inflation rate from 23 percent to 4 percent within 20 months of his administration. Corruption was reduced to barest the minimum during his tenure. With all these achievements under his watch, PDP still want us to believe that GMB has nothing to offer.


5. He is also corrupt.
If you believe this, then you can believe anything thrown to you.GMB openly declared that he has never stolen a kobo from the national treasury and challenged anyone with contrary opinion to prove him wrong.PDP have been capitalizing on the gullibility of some Nigerians to paint GMB black but Nigerians are wiser now.
Come 2015, Change is inevitable. Let’s create competition among our political parties so that they would stop taking us for granted.

No be only weak point, na strong point.... Who cares??

It's GEJ'S properties, he only used Tompolo as proxy to obtain those ships.....

charles424:
Thats not true. what happen was that after the demise of yar adua, GEJ was looking for suppirt to win the 2011 election, so he went into agreement with 20 pdp governors and he comfirm to OBJ that he will be going for just one term... the nta said it and reuben abati said it and OBJ repeat it in eagles square and GEJ did not dispute it... i have the video documentary, if i have your watsapp can send it to u to comfirm. no truth in not agreeing to be OBJ stooge... GEJ did not stand by his word as a leader.

Your long epistle assert my statement that " gej refused to be obj stooge"... Not being a stooge means that he wouldn't listen to obj orders....and part of obj's order was that GEJ must do one term

No amount of propaganda would stop the people's general from becoming our next president.....

temitemi1:
Notherners want president at all cost as if the post was made for them, that's y buhari and d rest started boko haram association because of their failure to get grip of d presidency. GEJ till 2019!!!

Show me proof that GMB is behind Boko haram?? Or else I would conclude that you are the most gullible person ever liveth...

If you believe this news, that means you can believe anything ....

Asari my friend, calm down..I know you are scared of GMB..GMB has forgiven you for all the slanderous comments you made against him and the north....

Next year February 2015, change is inevitable...GMB all the way..

Though am not Pro GEJ, but I believe the reason OBJ keeps throwing jabs at JONATHAN is due to the fact that GeJ refused to be a stooge to OBJ ..... GMB 2015

I don't care if she spends on me or not...I don't even expect such from my girlfriends unless they do it willing....
NB: Girls hardly joke with their money...
