Once again I am tasking you to post links to pages where Buhari was reported in quotes to be hating on Christians or making speeches that preach hate on Christians.

Please don't paste stories of people's accounts but direct speeches made by Buhari.

Caseless:
hogwash! I thought u had a better source. Trash!

Brother leave all propaganda and politicians alone. I have tasked someone who labored for days in vain to show us quoted context where Buhari made several speeches from any online source. Buhari has been loosing through rigging and rigging alone. That's why I used free and fair in my comment. As it stands today many Christians will vote their conscience and not religion. Am a Christian but will choose Buhari over GEJ even in my dreams.

Caseless:
any link to whre he(gmb) directly or indirectly showed his hatred for xtains or , jst sharrap forever.

Thank you so much for your beautiful write up, I challenge you to give me 20 reasons as a Western and a Christian why I should cast my vote for Ebele. This is nothing but a piece of sponsored article. What has GEJ done to Allyson Madueke for the missing $20b? Was Dimeji Bankole truly innocent of the #46b allegation? Who's trying Mrs Odua, former aviation minister? This is the most corrupt administration in the history of Nigeria and yet you are yearning for his reelection.

Nigerians will continued to be given reasons why Buhari cannot rule yet they have never given us reasons why they have failed serially to drag us from the dungeon we have found ourselves since 1999. Give me 20 reasons why Buhari is un-electable and I will give you a hundred reasons why GEJ have no business being there. If I may ask which Nigerians rejected this Buhari, TAN members and beneficiaries of the current heist going on? Whether anyone likes it or not Nairaland is a microcosm of Nigeria, let Seun organize a coordinated opinion poll on Buhari and GEJ for 24hrs and let's see the outcome. Am a Niger Deltan, even in my next life I will choose a Buhari over a GEJ any day anytime and I know many who will do same.

Facts are sacred, but not to the Career Buharists. To them, Buhari is God’s ‘gift’ to mankind and the most popular politician that can solve our numerous problems in a jiffy. Behind these accolades from his admires, is a man that has lost presidential elections three times consecutively. In 2003, over 24 million Nigerian rejected him. The same number rejected him in 2007 and in 2011; about 22 million rejected him. The excuse has been that, he was rigged out, but facts and figures proved that he is definitely unelectable as shown below:

Northwest (Buhari’s strongest base) - 6,453, 437 (60%) voted for Buhari and3,395,724 (32%) for Jonathan

Southeast – 20, 560 voted for Buhari and 5, 661, 177 (97%) for Jonathan
Northeast - 3,624,919 (62%) voted for Buhari and 1,832,622 (32%) for Jonathan
South-south – 49, 978 voted for Buhari and 6, 112, 608 (95%) for Jonathan
Southwest - 321, 609 voted for Buhari and 2, 786, 417 for Jonathan
North-central – 1, 744, 575 voted for Buhair and 3, 376, 570 for Jonathan
Further analysis shows that, in Buhari’s State – Katsina, he scored 1, 163, 919votes and Jonathan got 428, 392 votes. But in Jonathan’s State – Bayelsa, he scored only 691 votes while Jonathan got 504, 811 votes. Mere looking at the figures proves that Buhari is unelectable or does it mean that Jonathan also out-rigged him in his region?

These millions of Nigerians that have been rejecting him since 2003 despite his ‘popularity’ do so for the following reasons:

1. He Is A Hypocrite And Sanctimonious: Buhari is a self-acclaimed anti-corruption Czar, yet he served under late Sani Abacha without complaining of corruption. In the same period Buhari served as PTF Chairman under Abacha, Nigeria was named the 2nd most corrupt country in the world in 1996 by Transparency International; the most corrupt country in 1997 and 3rdmost country in 1998. Buhari didn’t resign or protest. He dismissed the TI Report with a wave of the hand. Can he do the same if such report says Nigeria is the most corrupt country in 2014? I know that Buhari would protest and call President Jonathan names.

Buhari as a man of integrity as he claims should have done what Tai Solarin, Duro Onabule and Ebitu Ukiwe did under IBB’s regime. IBB’s attempt to take Nigeria into the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) made his Chief of General Staff, Ebitu Ukiwe to resign. Ukiwe maintained that Nigeria, as a country, should not be a member of a religious organisation. Individual organisation can take up membership of religious organisations, but not the country. IBB made Tai Solarin the chairman of Peoples Bank with no fund and power to run it; he resigned and tendered his apology to Nigerians.

Buhari has not apologized to Nigerians for working for the most corrupt govt in the world then, but he still maintains that Abacha didn’t loot Nigeria dry even as Abacah loots are still being sent back to Nigeria.

When he took over power by the gun, he supported rigging because it favoured him. But now, he is shouting of rigging. Hear him:

“The last general election was anything but free and fair. The only political parties that could complain of election rigging are those parties that lacked the resources to rig.” - M. Buhar (First Speech after Military Coup, 31 December, 1983)

2. He Is A Religious Fanatic And Extremist: Buhari believes that his religion is superior to other religions and that Koran supersedes our constitution. In 2001, he gave his total support for Sharia with this statement:

“I will continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment to the Sharia movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria. God willing, we will not stop the agitation for the total implementation of the Sharia in the country.”- M. Buhari (August 27, 2001)

He made the above statement after he had gone to BBC Hausa Service to condemn the then Vice President, Atiku Abubakar for urging Muslims states who adopted Sharia to return to the status quo.

If you think that these statements mean nothing, then envision what would happen if a notable Christian political leader from the south make the same statement about spreading Christianity across Nigeria.

Prior to the 2003 elections, he made another shocking statement:

“Muslims should only vote those who will promote Islam. We are more than the Christians if you add our Muslim brothers in the West.”- M. Buhari (2003)

3. He Introduced Kidnapping And Smuggling Into The Nigeria System:The story of Umaru Dikko is already well known that repeating it here amounts to tautology. However, Buhari and his ADC Col. Mustapha Jokolo supervised the smuggling of 53 suitcases filled with cash against the protests of Tunde Idiagbon and ironically, Abubakar Atiku (an APC bigwig), was the former DG of Customs. Do you still need to know why Buhari has never accused Atiku of being corrupt?

4. He Is Not A Man of His Words: Buhari cried in public and said he won’t contest elections again, yet couldn’t keep his words:

“This campaign is the third and last one for me; since, after it, I will not present myself again for election into office of the president.” – M. Buhari (April, 2011 at the Int’l Conference Centre, Abuja)

Then again in 2014, he swallowed his words with this:

“I humbly present myself to all Nigerians and to God, seeking to be elected as APC’s presidential candidate.” - M. Buhari (Oct., 15, 2014 Eagle Square Abuja)

5. He Is An Ethnic Bigot Who Thinks That Vendetta Is Fighting Corruption: After Buhari and his boys overthrew the govt of Shagari with the sole reason that the govt was highly corrupt, he locked up Dr. Alex Ekwueme – the then VP in Kirikiri maximum prison but left Shagari – the president and Head of govt in his mansion. Ekwueme was tried by the tribunal set-up by Buhari and the tribunal declared that he was even poorer than he was before he came into office. Yet, Buhari jailed him and allowed Shagari to relax in his mansion.

He gave Dede Sam Mbakwe 100-year jail term for stealing nothing and also went after his wife. Ambrose Ali was tried for an undeveloped plot of land and he was jailed for 75 years with heavy torture that led to blindness and later death. Jim Nwobodo and Lateef Jakande were jailed for 100 years for stealing nothing. Adekunle Ajasin was tried by a military tribunal and found innocent. Buhari ordered a fresh trial, he was found innocent again. Buhari changed the tribunal and tried him again. He was still found innocent. Buhari still jailed him. But, Buhari left his personal friend – Awwal Ibrahim – the then highly corrupt governor of Niger State who was arrested at Heathrow airport with £14 million. Awwal was never jailed. He was placed under house arrest in his mansion like Shagari for just two weeks and indeed released.

Topics like these are already becoming boring and stale and a joke!
Instead of giving us 20 reasons not to vote for Buhari,give us 20 reasons why we should vote for Jonathan.

Change can come when emotionally and physically ready, capable and willing, strong willed, selfless, tested and trusted leaders are voted into power.

If I go all ahead to tell you this will turn to an essay. [b]As it stands the many followers of GEJ are either from the Southeast, Niger Delta or PDP members around the country which are a negligible few among 170 million Nigerians and few paid agents. It doesn't require rocket scientists to know many Nigerians are fed up with the PDP led federal government today. In 2011 GEJ rode on the sentiment of no shoes/humble background but please agree with me without bias that uncommon sympathy died long ago. Many people who thought he will fight corruption and establishment thinking he was not one of them have become very disappointed. Suffice it to say many fall into this category. The only tool the PDP cum thievery elite uses against Buhari is gradually crumbling because it is becoming stale and many are getting wiser. Look at the state of our economy today and ask who brought us here if it's not the same PDP that you expect Nigerians to thumbprint for come Feb next year. Peep into how EFCC fared in the past 6 years and tell me of any low, medium or high profile government corruption case that have passed reading stage in any court even when majority of us know corruption is what has brought us the erstwhile giant of Africa to our knees. Do you know the so called transformation TAN has been parading about will be washed away like the sands of time just few months of GEJ leaving power with the culture of impunity and free for all looting he is leaving behind? Nigerians except religious, regional and political bigots, once again who are negligible few are tired of the many lies of the PDP and Jonathan will gladly vote them out of power next year. Guess you must have heard of the phrase that says only a fool will do same thing same way all the time and expect different results. Just let INEC conduct free and fair elections next year and watch Jonathan pack his baggage out of Aso Rock and see how Buhari move in if his party gives him their ticket.[/b]

In a free and fair contest Jonathan, OBJ and late Yar'Adua cannot floor Buhari even with his meagre resources. That is the kind of cult followership he has on account of reasonable people who forever believe he has what it takes to clear the Augean Stable. If at all you know what that means.

Pataki:
Whoever is the strategist for APC must be a chess player.

Make your opponent believe you are coming in this line of attack, while he is focused on that potential moves and a million possibilities of that attack, you suddenly switch play to another deadly move!

The useless Doyin Okupe is on twitter already attacking Tambuwal here and there. Foolish PDP.

watchindelta:

I know you didn't set out to make some sense, tribalism was eating you up.

One thing is very certain.... He will decamp to PDP after all this macabre dance.

The speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Aminu Tambuwal, will soon declare his intention to join the Sokoto State governorship race on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Though some members of the House had purchased the APC presidential nomination forms for Tambuwal, urging him to go for the highest office in the land, a chieftain of the Sokoto APC confided in LEADERSHIP last night that the stakeholders in the state preferred that the speaker contest the state’s governorship.
The party stalwart, who sought anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the matter, disclosed that necessary plans had been put in place to enable Tambuwal declare for the Sokoto State governorship seat on the platform of the APC.
