In another news, over 80% of the 22.5million Nigerians who voted for him have also dumped him. These are the real heavy weight and the most important.

Jonathan is on his own. Just waiting for February 14th to 'angrily' vote him out. He has overstayed his welcome!

PS: You can add to the list. Thanks

Wamakko, Tambuwal

Wamakko alongside 4 other Governors (G-5) had earlier dumped the PDP for APC. With his influence, GEJ was able to garner 34% of the total votes cast in Sokoto during the 2011 Presidential Elections. Presently, with the defection of Wamakko and Tambuwal, Sokoto is 85% opposition. Will GEJ be able to poll the required 25% votes from there?!

Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso

Almost all his supporters defected to the opposition with him. Even when GEJ couldn't win Kano in 2011, with people like kwankwaso who is believed to have cult-followership facilitated Jonathan's 16.5% Votes. Though we all know Buhari controls Kano.

Shekarau would have been a plus to PDP, but since his supporters didn't decamp to the PDP with him, then there's nothing to worry about. GEJ may be lucky to get up to 5% of the votes from Kano come next year.

Rotimi Amaechi, Magnus Abe, Wilson Ake

These are the Political Heavyweights from Rivers who supported Jonathan's re-election in 2011, but no longer with him. Jonathan was able to poll 1.8m votes, representing 98.04% of the total vote casts in the State. Even if Jonathan would win Rivers State come 2015, would he be able to garner up to 98% of the total votes without Political Heavyweights like Amaechi?! Definitely NO.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo

If not for the support of Obasanjo, Jonathan wouldn't have scaled through the party primaries, let alone winning General Election. Obasanjo single-handedly facilitated Jonathan's victory at the PDP Primaries. Obasanjo vigorously campaigned for GEJ in 2012, but today they're just like cat and rat. The open letter saga is still fresh in our mind. Can GEJ do without Obasanjo?!

Lest I forget, Obasanjo is still in the PDP, but Jonathan no longer enjoys the Support he used to enjoy from him in 2011.

Abubakar Bukola Saraki, Abdulfatah Ahmed, Bolaji Abdullahi and others

The former Governor of Kwara State, Bukola Saraki; his Successor, Abdulfatah Ahmed; and the ex-Minister of Sports, Bolaji Abdullahi; alongside Olusola Saraki made Jonathan's 2011 victory in Kwara State possible. Without these people, Jonathan wouldn't have emerged winner in Kwara State at the 2011 Presidential election. Today, they're no longer with him.

Abdullahi was sacked by the President due to the politicking in Kwara, the home state of Mr. Abdullahi. Mr. Abdullahi was first appointed Minister of Youth Development in 2011 and later asked to supervise the Sports Ministry. He was appointed substantive minister of sports in May 2012. He was nominated as minister by Ex-Kwara State governor, Bukola Saraki. Mr. Saraki who had initially shown interest in challenging Mr. Jonathan for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential ticket in 2011 was a major supporter of Mr. Jonathan during the 2011 elections. He, however, recently joined the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, along with his supporters in Kwara including the state governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed; and has since been a critic of the Jonathan administration.

Danjuma Goje

The former Governor of Gombe State, Senator Danjuma Goje alongside 10 other Senators recently dumped PDP for the APC. With the influence of Goje, Jonathan was able to poll 37.7% of the votes from Gombe State. I wonder how many % of the votes he (GEJ) would be able to poll Gombe without Political Heavyweights like Goje in Gombe.

Murtala Nyako

The erstwhile Governor of Adamawa State, Navy Admiral Murtala Nyako (Rtd) was one of the People who campaigned for Jonathan's Re-election in 2011. Today he has dumped him for another Party.

The Governor, in the course of campaigning for the President once denied Opposition Presidential Candidates (Buhari in particular) Campaign Venues. He frustrated Buhari's Campaign in Adamawa State, in 2011. The then CPC Candidate was also denied the use of the Presidential Lodge in the city of Yola. Today, the Governor has dumbed Jonathan.

The governor of Adamawa state, Murtala Nyanko, is doing much to frustrate presidential candidates campaigning in the state.

SaharaReporters learnt that the retired navy admiral Nyanko refused access to open space in the state capital to Gen. Muhamadu Buhari, the candidate of the Congress of Progressive Change.

The retired general, who has a mass following in the northern parts of Nigeria had to hold his rally in the outskirts of Yola.

Prior to Buhari's arrival, PDP thugs loyal to the governor had torn down most of his posters and billboards around the state capital.

For the greater part of the day, Gen. Buhari was also denied the use of the presidential lodge in the city of Yola.  As a former head of state, Buhari is entitled to the use of the lodge in any state of the federation. The Governor also rebuffed requests by Buhari to make a courtesy visit to his office.

Adebayo Alao-Akala

The Former Governor of Oyo State was one of the people who made Jonathan's Victory in the SW during the 2011 Election Possible. He was present at most of Jonathan's Campaigns in the SW then, but today, he's no longer with them. He has since pitched tent with the Labour Party after he was denied his Party's Governorship Ticket in Oyo State.

Nigeria's President, Dr.Goodluck Jonathan continued his campaign ahead of the April 2011 general election and his point of campaign on Tuesday was the acient city of Ibadan,the political capital of South-west Nigeria.

The President who was in-company of former President, Olusegun Obasanjo and Gov.Alao Akala of Oyo state promised that the ruling party will ensure all the states in the South-west including Lagos is wrestled from the hands of "Rascals".

President Jonathan noted that as the commercial centre of Nigeria, Lagos is too important to be left in the hands of rascals and that the PDP will take control of the state come April.
"Lagos is a commercial centre and the ruling party must control the state. We will take over Ekiti, Osun and Ondo States. Before 2015, we will take over the South West. South West is too educated and civilized to be left in the hands of rascals".he said.

Christian, he's not. Muslim, he's not. An 'Ogun' worshipper, he's. We were at a shrine just last Monday here to eat 'dog meat' with an ogun celebrant.

Most of you are just creating unnecessary threads. Has Amaechi come to complain to any of you that he's unhappy with the choice of Osibanjo as the VP Candidate?! If NO, then why having sleepless nights and restless days over nothing?!

Vote Buhari/Osibanjo! Vote Change!

Happy birthday to my President-in-waiting. By the Grace of God, his 73rd birthday will be celebrated in Aso Rock as the Commander-in-chief. Wishing you long life and prosperity!

AKUNWATA1:
THEY SHOULD ARREST SHERIFF AND SHETIMA IMMEDIATELY

Some of you reason like illiterates. A sitting Governor should be arrested?! Guy, do you have a clue of what you're saying at all?!

Zakkyoz:
that is definitely his last budget presentation. otuoke on his mind

By the Grace of God. He has tried enough. He can go and be presenting budget as the Mayor of Otuoke starting from next year. Anyone who feels that he (GEJ) has done enough and would be missed can as a matter-of-fact relocate to Otuoke before it's too late!

Most notable among them was a case of him tweeting pictures of Kano State government projects as some of the achievements of the Goodluck Jonathan-led administration.

Stop condemning Abati publicly to make us believe that he's not doing what he's asked to do. The labour has since been divided within the Presidential Aides.

Abati has been made the official liar in GEJ's Cabinet, while okupe has been the attack dog who makes reckless statements in defence of his master. He (Okupe) is also the official bastard (if APC survives a year, call me bastard) we know in Nigeria!

Happy birthday to my President-in-waiting. By the Grace of God, his 73rd birthday will be celebrated in Aso Rock as the Commander-in-chief. Wishing you long life and prosperity!

mikeslim:
Oya na bring your wheel barrow and carry him back

He's capable of packing his loads. Wheelbarrow cannot cross the River in his village.

Kenai:
So, you mean Buhari is even too clueless to pick a running mate that it has to take him days to finally decide?

If this' what you call cluelessness, then I want to be clueless. You think APC wants an inactive, clueless and ceremonial VP like Sambo?! NO, we can't afford to have another VP whose official duty would be performed by the First Lady!

Before now, most of us already knew the suit would be dismissed. That's what I've been clamouring for, anyway. We can now deal with him at the polls. He's going back to Otuoke come May 29th 2015!

OrlandoOwoh:
I don't see him being the IG during the election in February 2015. As Joseph Mbu was used and dumped so will Abba.

What befell Raphael Ige and Tafa Balogun shall surely befall him.

OrlandoOwoh:
Hahahaha. I'm sure when he sees Aminu Tambuwal, he will not hesitate to address him as the Speaker. All the court cases against him have been favourable.

That Abba is a disgrace to the NPF!

OrlandoOwoh:
Maybe the IG didn't get "intelligence."

You still recognize him as the IG?! To me, he's "one Mr Suleiman Abba".

Nice one. I thought 'one Mr Suleiman Abba' would prevent him from entering the National Assembly to perform his Legislative duty!

I hope you come back and write all these come February 15th 2015. By then all these would practically be useless.

Those people who made GEJ's 2011 Re-election possible have since dumped him for another party. You think without the Saraki's, GEJ would be able to win Kwara?! You think GEJ would be able to win Benue by a landslide like 2011?! Have you forgotten Niger is already sure for Buhari?! After using and dumping Labaran Maku, you think they would smile to the field and vote him in Kwara again?! What about Kogi's whose Governor has failed them?! You think they'd still go out en masse and vote GEJ?! The most populous (consequential) Senatorial District in Kogi (Kogi East) is now controlled by APC, have you forgotten?! Only plateau would be a no-go area for the APC in that zone come 2015.

Come down to the SW, you think GEJ would be able to secure the votes he got from there in 2011?! They voted (for) him there then because they thought he was the Messiah, they considered him as their brother, they never knew he was a serial failure. Now that Nigerians know better, I wonder how GEJ is gonna win in the SW come 2015.

GEJ is gone already. He should start packing his loads. SE and some parts of SS Votes cannot save him come 2015. Now that APC would have agents in all the Polling Units in Nigeria, I wonder how they're gonna rig the Election. Nigerians are ready for the PDP and their dubious act!

Mr president don't stand a chance

At all, at all, at all.

experimentist:
I can't stand that clowny ars dude men In this century? No!

Buhari that is even a soldier without a complete education has intelligence, composure and brain than dis young man that's said he's our president.

I have preference for Buhari's NDA Qualification and other degrees he had abroad, over GEJ's PhD!

experimentist:
that's an insult to the Great GMB.. Someone should separate them pls..

Lmao.... The insult is just too much!
