[size=24pt]VOTE GOODLUCK JONATHAN FOR PRESIDENT[/size]

powacon:
If IBB, Atiku and Gwarzo are now working for or with Buhari, then it is becoming obvious that Buhari is a northen agenda. These are the same rotten eggs that have made PDP stink for years. If Buhari is mixing with them, then he is bound to stink as well. I am soooooo disapointed that Buhari would have anything to do with them. I will rather go with 10 of Obasanjo than 1 of IBB not to talk of a combination of IBB and Atiku. I had so much hopes in Buhari but it is a shame that he can compromise to the point of dinning with the devil(IBB). I am having a RE-THINK!

[b]My take per the presidential elections;

It's all part of politics to court Tinubu,but he is not as beautiful a bride as everybody is assuming,Lagos has 6 million voters,more than 80% of these will vote for GEJ on Saturday,irrespective of what Tinubu says or doesn't say

We've worked this road before,where GEJ tried to carry everyone along,those that felt they stood a better chance ganging up against GEJ along ethno-religious lines tasted the bitter pill of defeat,come Saturday April 16,the story will be the same,whoever doesn't get on the divine winning train of GEJ WILL TASTE THE BITTER PILL OF DEFEAT

I 'blame' Jonathan for allowing a relatively free election in the South West; perhaps that's why some people are feeling very important. If to say na their Baba Obasanjo dey seat, Tinubu would be fortunate to retain his Lagos state cash cow. Guess nice guys (Jonathan) finish last like the saying goes. He ought to know that he would win anyway; no need to concede too much through daft bargaining (I laugh at 1/4 of cabinet positions to that parochial Frog). . .unless of course it's all deceptive bargaining.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has claimed ownership of the ballot papers found with an Abuja printer yesterday by the police, as reported by SaharaReporters, but that they are only "dummy presidential ballot papers".

The spokesperson to the INEC chairperson, Mr. Kayode Idowu, told SaharaReporters over the phone today that the ballot papers were designed by the commission in line with "Section 60" of the Electoral Law to “fool” troublemakers at polling booths if they show up to vote without legitimacy.

He said such person(s) would then be handed "dummy" ballot papers to vote and move on without disrupting the election.

Section 60 of the Electoral Law provides as follows:

60. -(1) If a person claiming to be entitled to vote applies for a ballot paper after some other person has voted in the name given by the claimant he shall, upon satisfactory answers given to any questions put to him by a poll clerk be
entitled to receive a ballot paper in the same manner as any other voter; but
the ballot paper (in this Act referred to as "the tendered ballot paper" shall be
of a colour different from the ordinary ballot papers.

(2) The Presiding Officer shall require the voter to deliver the tendered ballot
paper to him instead of allowing it to be put in the ballot box, and the Presiding Officer shall endorse on it the name of the voter and his number in the register of voters.

(3) The ballot paper shall on delivery to the Presiding Officer and in the view of all present be set aside by the Presiding Officer in a packet intended for
tendered votes and the tendered ballot paper shall be counted by the Returning Officer.



(4) The Presiding Officer shall, when he tenders a ballot paper under this
section, enter the name of the voter and his number in the register of voters on the list to be called tendered vote list and the tendered

It is to be noted that the ballots provided for by the Electoral Law in this section are referred to as “tendered ballot papers” and are meant for the use of the Presiding Officer at the polls where someone else has already voted in the name of a claimant, not necessarily “troublemakers” needing to be “fooled” by INEC. They are of a different colour from the ordinary ballot papers.

The Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) yesterday raised an alarm about the ballot papers, which were discovered by the police in Utako area of Abuja. It said two men, Akinlolu Akinto and Habila Stephen, were caught by the police with 100,000 ballot papers loaded into a van, leading to an investigation in which another one million ballots were discovered.

CPC officials said the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) had resisted initial attempts by higher up to release the contractors until the search of their printing press and subsequent discover of the 1 million presidential ballots. The DPO then handed over the suspects to the Federal Capital Territory command of the Police Force. Overnight, however, the men were released, as INEC claimed ownership of the ballot papers.

Opposition members said they raised alarm because the printing press belongs to the brother of the deputy chairman of the People's Democratic Party and that they had engaged in bringing illegal ballot papers that were used in rigging elections in Kebbi State last Saturday.
Mr. Idowu denied any knowledge of the already thumb-printed papers reportedly found by the police. He stressed that INEC was “absolutely” prepared for Saturday’s pivotal presidential polls.

Don't kill urself o! So the PDP & ANPP has more personalities than the CPC? If so, how come the CPC only has personalities in katsina alone? So the Northerners will vote CPC 4 presidency and vote PDP 4 NASS so that they(PDP) can ground the CPC govt abi? If u remember, buhari has been telling his 'crowd' 2 vote CPC & not 2 vote PDP 4 NASS! So all the northerners sat down together and decided to vote PDP 4 NASS & CPC 4 presidency abi? PDP is leading jor, go and sit down, even if any zone can decide 2 vote 4 a particular party 4 NASS & another 4 presidency, it'll be the SW!

Wadeoye:
I don't want to speak for the north but whoever thinks the north will vote the same way they voted last saturday is deceiving himself. The last election was between northerners. Next saturday's election is between a northerner (a very popular northerner for that matter) and a southerner who they have seen as not been trust worthy.


Also, for us rooting for BB in the south, people should know that we have come together only because of Buhari - nothing more. I didn't even know the Senatorial candidate of CPC in my area and I don't care who he is because most of us are not party supporters but rather people who want a new Nigeria. So, if Buhari changes his party from CPC to DDD, there I am to support Buhari except if I have a better candidate.

So, next week's election will be very interesting and some people may have heart attack if care is not taking.

Why are we even flogging this, Saturday is around the corner.

EOS:
Procedure for the election released by INEC is very good, but the implementation is poor. Last week National Assembly election was credible only in very few places. The election was [size=17pt]massively[/size] rigged in most places, and we should expect the same thing coming Saturday.

juventino:
GEJ for 2011 and 2015. Buhari can wait till 2019; afterwards, he is still young. If you have anything contrary, Go HUG transformer

fstranger3:
I agree with you. Tinubu is better than Funsho williams. Remi Tinubu is waaaaaaaaaay better than Mamora. Adefulire is better than SOsan.

In a democracy, there is no point for debates, past experiences are inconsequential, credentials are worthless, what really matters is what the head of the Gambino family thinks.

One head is always better than 200.
