PDP will remain!!! APC should know that the so called Governors that makes APC look solid were elected through PDP. That freaking APC does not have the grassroot politics to win PDP. Take a look at Ekiti, PDP came and swept away an APC that was elected, that did not decamp, that means EKITI should be a strong zone Even in Osun there was a barely 50,000 diffrence between PDP and APC.... These are where APC should actually be strong.... Take a look @ 2011 GMB was a popular figure and he came 2nd in the presidential race, he lost woefully in all southern states at a rate ratio of 95: 5, he actually won 15 northern states at ratio of 60:40, his so called party could only win 1 governorship state. This is a mix of history and present. PDP has the structure, mind u all the governors that APC parades are decampees except oyo, lagos and Edo. Let's wait and see, how APC wants to overthrow an Incubent president in the Nigeria of Today. I trust the southerners, they cucu hate the northerners, southerners are scared of islamization! We can't vote Buhari, and definitly with jigawa, taraba, kaduna, kastina, kebbi, niger, adamawa, benue, pleateau, abuja in the hands of the pdp I am sure that GEJ remains in aso rock, because even Lagos is filled with easterners and southerners, rivers is GEJ's Home or is it EDO Or IMO that will vote for Buhari. Same old story joor

@ OP ur source pls? Secondly did I hear dwindling economy? Wen we r the fastest growing economy in the world and the largest in Africa APC why nau

barcanista:
Even a Mad Man recognize a speedy trailer on the highway. That Jonathan is clueless in his style of governance does not mean that he doesn't know what a patriot is.

Define clueless? Am sure u are a muslim, and may be a hausa man and am sure u are an illitrate, ma sure u are not civilized and am fully sure that you are daft. Let me tell you all sometin, only good leaders are not accepted by all and are strongly criticized! GEJ is Nigerias best president take it or leave it. GMB is good No doubt but he has given his all, had he not overthrown a shagari government we would have been far advanced. Nigeria is suffering from serveral decade of Hausa and Fulani military domination, we won't take that again in this democracy. No matter the propagander Nomatter the Black mail our otuke man whatever u like you call him must complete his 2 terms in office. When the hausa military generals were transfering power from one person to another nobody talked about that. Mtcheew! Anyway I trust the pdp. They know how to win elections. Apc will know that its not 10states we are talking about here do they even have 10 states, decampees made them look relevant, apc can never win 10 states in Nigerias election... Do they have the grassroot platform even GMB's cpc of 2011 won just 1 state with all GMB's popularity. Abeg u dumb nairaland politicians should shut up with all these useless analysis

smada13:
who won't defeat Jonathan in a free and fair poll....GEJ is a disgrace!!!!

Reall? Let's see.... Even u in your shrewd poverty is talking. U will die a pooer if apc takes over you fool

This thread should be closed, its all lies!

fiftynaira:
I will only comment when buhari wins presidency in 2019....



And when this makes front page!!!

then am not sure you will ever comment in your entire life. Buhari wins presidency with less than 10percent soiuthern surporters? my bro let buhari forget it the southerners will 90percent vote for GEJ and 10percebt will vote for GMB while in the north Buhari will get 60 percent and definitly GEJ will smile with his 40 percent to Aso rock to complete his tenure as longest serving president and longest occupant in aso rock on a strech. Buhari can win 2019 i swear

Nigeria's health budjet is not even up to 20million usd for the past 4yrs so how come??

Guys, to b a president is notin buh a dignity, generations will never forget u. Amechi should stop being a kid.. GEJ is his president and that's fact. Y I like GEJ is dt he won't talk too much, he rather acts! Gush I love dt man! Talk less act more!

Iamdagreatguy:
Nonsense!!! Arrant Nonsense,
This IGP is just taking laws into his hand,,has the house impeached himhas the court declared his seat vacant,,,why can't the same thing be done to Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo who recently decamped to PDP.
One of the reason I don't like this PDP's government.
GEJ was my candidate in 2011,,time to correct my mistake.
Btw,wat does the constitution quoted says,,,the second paragraph gives room to decamp bt only on the ground that there is conflict or faction in d party.
Presently in sokoto there is faction in PDP,,,so why is the IGP taking laws into his own hands?

Idiot is mimiko a law maker Or can't u read If u like him so much u can volunteer to guard him nau! Congratulations to Emeka Ihediora (speaker house of reps)

lincy:
May God purnish PDP, the only credible candidate we have in South East shouldn't be kept uncomfortable even for a second, somebody should just call GEJ and his PDP mad Dogs without human sence to order, PDP has crippled SE for there selfish 2015 ambition fine yes we hav shown we are one with SS, but what we won't take is stepping on our intergrity, so far SE is concern, CHIME S. Remains the IGBo Heart beat without dirty record so shouldn't be treated bad, infect his the pride of PDP the governor that has something to show for. Let God purnish PDP if they don't rethink @ dis moment, I promise will bringthem down on socialnetwork wouldn't mind going down Igbo braids ar not carword. if they go beyoned wat they just did to him. AMeachi is right afterall, GEJ is busy fighting his sub-ordinate donw here in SS /SE wen he can't even face common Kano state governor kwakwoso even after doing gaint projects for the north and painting only class rooms in SS. He almost forgot the only Block vote he has is SE, let him not better weak a sleeping DOG, wouldn't mind bringing him down and going down for it. "A man that go after a rat wen his house is on fire" his just like a mad man with a lighter in a refinary. Don't think his good in calculation he should know he has no northern vote and southwest vote. The only vote he has is SE . The SS is infiltrated with notherners that come up early to cast there vote befor the lazy SS. Comes out to cast there vote it already 3PM I was once Pool officer am giving u real facts. He Can only use the SS for identification with the public for political ambition campaign. If they will vote, u hav to buy the voters card and provide mobility for them to voting centres LOL. I swear this man doesn't know wat is happening to him cuz he sleeps uder AC weaks up to see breakfast on his long dinning table , he doesn't know wat the poor citizen his governing is pass through . I think the AC has has blocked his thinking brains. " Fucking rich people" some one should just call gej to order or face the wrath from SE . He has been messing up the whole roads in SE with ARab contractors thinking we don't know wat is happening. A common governor (AMEACHI) has rounded up the half section of the federal road with street lights on it, Gej is busy dancing on the red mud with ARAB contractors waiting for somebody to do magic by given 5omillion vote ohakim gave him LOL I go bizzle this time if he didn't take his time . PDP

U r simply an uneducated person, u r an illitrate. Abeg go with ur yeye comment

What's up with the ebola and Austraila ban Is Nigeria included??

soroptimist:
Jonathanians are so daft and bereft of knowledge about the dictates of the Constitution.

To them,anyone that is against their Lord and Saviour GEJ must be crushed even if it means trampling on the constitution

Next febuary after the election u will shut up ur mouth

Nigerians are used to noise, good governance makes no noise. I know GEJ will win even though the opposition is strong. I hv never seen a president as criticized as GEJ and yet firm and ever working. We can't give this country to buhari or atiku, its like taking nigeria backward. Let's launch the #teamGEJ campaign and return GEJ to office

Joebeck:
You are right, because you know why? Politics is a dirty game.

Not that bt because its a selected few who gets dt priviledge

Joebeck:
A very big shame to any university that produced this product. You can pray for your children to turn out like her after attending university.

But I know u will never be wife of the president even with your queens english

Joebeck:
So this woman is a university graduate and she speaks such a terrible english.

English does not matter in destiny and success, u that speaks so much and so good english what have u achieved, she is married to the president of the country even with her terrible english!!! Will you ever be a counsellor of your ward even with your good english?destiny! Bill gates is a drop out, mark zurkerberg is a drop out folorunsho alakija did not step the university but they are all blessed. Pray to God to bless ur hustle and leave another person to his or her faith.

They never thought they would smell Aso Rock when they snapped this picture! No one knows tomorrow, this life is a mystery unknown to us... Future is hidden to us! The God who did it for GEJ will do it for us also . Amen!

crowntoro:
really?

Yea, because even though its a reality show there needs to be some digital editing so as to have a good veiwing quality and cohernece. Most times what they do in the jungle back has to be edited and packaged for viewing and this cannot be done on a single day because the cameras stationed there are 24 hours and they have to show only 1hour of summary so sm1 has to edit and put together the important things to show to the viewers.

crowntoro:
Na wa oh, this whole GUS show is no longer a reality show, they have turned it to Nollywood movie. AIT has already showed the episode for today which means they have acted all the episodes (I assume)

They are actually way ahead in the jungle we get to see their jungle experience of 4 days agoe

Chinedu and cannon r quite famose persay buh I won't b surprise if cosy or even emmanuel sniffs it

Deejacy2:
Between Bob and chidi, who is a better Anchorman?

Hi, pls will we get episode 20 plssss! Thanks for your regular updates

At the moment, Buhari is leading. His votes are more than 3 times that of Jonathan.

Elections r not won on internet

By Femi Aribisala
ON Friday, 23rd August, 1985, the military government of Major-General Mohammadu Buhari decided to place me under arrest.  My crime was that I wrote, among others, an article entitled: “Counter-trading Nigeria’s Future” in the National Concord, exposing the government’s scam of diverting public funds into private coffers through barter-trade with Brazil. A man by the name of Benson Norman was sent from the State Security Services (SSS) to my office to get me. Not finding me, he left a note that I must present myself unfailingly at the SSS office at 15 Awolowo Road, Ikoyi Lagos the next Monday morning.
However, on Sunday, 25th August, 1985, Lateef Aminu came first thing in the morning to my house to inform me that the government of Buhari/Idiagbon had been overthrown.  For this reason, I am fond of telling people that God brought about a change of government in Nigeria just because of me.
Coup-plotter
Under the Buhari/Idiagbon regime, once you ended up at 15 Awolowo Road, you may never be heard of again.  Decree Number 2 of 1984 empowered Tunde Idiagbon to arrest and detain anybody indefinitely without trial and without legal reprieve.  After Buhari was overthrown, Mohammadu Gambo opened the prison doors of 15 Awolowo Road on public television, revealing people in various stages of UnCloth and malnutrition that had been kept in the dungeons without trial by Buhari’s hound-dogs.
As self-imposed Head of State, Buhari had no regard for human rights.  Immediately he seized power, he announced that he would “tamper with” the press.  Soon, the infamous Decree Number 4 was promulgated which made even the publication of the truth a punishable offence.  Under this cover, Buhari jailed innocent journalists, including Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabo.  He abolished civil liberties, promulgated retroactive decrees enabling him to kill Nigerians through jungle justice, proscribed civil society organizations and professional groups and exercised “absolute” power.
This same Buhari would now have us believe that he has gone through some metamorphosis and has become a democrat.  I am sure you will forgive me if people like me don’t believe him.  Buhari is not, has never been, and will never be, a democrat.  Only in Nigeria would a man with his track record, who came to power through a military coup that illegally overthrew a democratic government, now be acclaimed as a democrat.  It is on record that Buhari’s military regime is the only one in Nigeria’s history that failed to promulgate a programme for return to civilian rule.
Facts and fiction
So what exactly qualifies Buhari as a democrat today?  Precious little!  There is nothing democratic about forming and joining political parties just in order to be the presidential candidate.  Little wonder then that Buhari’s parties have a short shelf-life.  Buhari would like to be Nigeria’s head of state once again.  He can no longer achieve this through the barrel of a gun.  The only route now open to him is through the democratic process.  That is the reason  he now conveniently fashions himself as a democrat.  It is merely a means to an end; no more, no less.
Buhari’s reputation as an anti-corruption crusader is also a myth.  As head of state, he did not make any dent in Nigerian corruption.  All we got was a cosmetic “war against indiscipline.”  The counter-trade scam happened under his watch.  Rather than deal with it, he sent his hound-dogs after nonentities like me who dared to expose it.  That scam was no different, in scope and scale, from the petroleum subsidy and other corruption scandals that have since plagued Nigeria. The Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) that Buhari headed under Abacha was also a citadel of corruption.  While Buhari himself might not have enriched himself, his cronies and those who worked under him did so handsomely.
On three different occasions, Buhari has run for the presidency.  On three different occasions he has failed.  That should really be enough.  If, as seems likely, he were to run for the presidency a fourth time in 2015, there is no question that he would fail yet again.  Try as he might again and again, Mohammadu Buhari can never be President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Buhari’s sectarianism
There is a fundamental reason behind this.  Buhari is a bad politician.  He is an unbending former military dictator and not a democratic consensus-builder.  Like his new ally, Bola Tinubu, Buhari is a regional, sectional politician.  Such politicians are practically impossible to package and market nationally in the ethnically-delicate Nigeria of today.
Former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Malam Nasir El’Rufai, one of those Northerners who deserve to be serious contenders for the presidency of Nigeria, observed that Buhari remains “perpetually unelectable” as a result of his “insensitivity to Nigeria’s diversity and his parochial focus.”  This is an elegant way of saying that politically, Buhari has an uncanny tendency to put his foot in his mouth.  He talks before thinking of the political implications of his words.  He shoots from the hip.
The strength of Obasanjo, which enabled him to capture the presidency on two different occasions, was that he was perceived as a broadminded politician, not overly partial to his people in the South-West.  As a matter of fact, in his first election, his people did not want him.  The strength of Goodluck Jonathan, which propelled him to win the presidency, was that he was able to string together a coalition that stretched both north and south of the Niger.  The weakness of Buhari is that he is totally unacceptable to people outside his region.
Buhari is a Northern regional champion.  As head of state in the 1980s, his government was unapologetically Northern.  No attempt was made to balance the ticket at the top.  It was the only regime in Nigeria’s history headed by two Northerners.  When he seized power, Buhari put Shagari, the Northern head of state he overthrew, under house arrest.  But then he jailed Alex Ekwueme, the Southern vice-president.  You may well ask what makes Shagari less culpable for the misdeeds of the Second Republic than his number-two man.  The simple fact was that Buhari was Fulani as was Shagari; but Ekwueme was Igbo.
Impolitic words
At the height of the Sharia debate during the Obasanjo administration, Buhari declared that Muslims should vote only for fellow Muslims.  This was politically suicidal for a man seeking national office.  He became an advocate for implementation of Sharia all over Nigeria.  He protested to the Oyo State governor, in the context of a dispute between Fulani herdsmen and indigenous farmers in the state, that “your people are killing my people.”  This turned out to be unfounded and perhaps the reverse.
His threats during the campaign for the 2011 elections incited widespread violence in the North after he lost.  His supporters went on a rampage; looting and killing; in spite of the fact that, by all accounts, the elections were adjudged the most free and fair in the history of Nigeria’s current democratic experiment.  By the time the mayhem had subsided, over 1000 people had been slaughtered in cold blood and some 65,000 displaced.
Forgetting that a statement made in Hausa would readily be translated into English, Buhari later declared unapologetically in a BBC interview: “If what happened in 2011 should again happen in 2015, by the grace of God, the dog and the baboon would all be soaked in blood.”  These are the tokens of an irresponsible politician, whose ambitions for power supersede the national interest.  Who then are the dogs and baboons that Buhari has in mind to soak in blood if and when he loses yet again come 2015?  Are they his children or are they those of others?
With the Boko Haram insurgency in the north, Buhari played to the Northern gallery yet again, calling the Jonathan government “the biggest Boko Haram.”  Wole Olaniyi was a fly in the wall at a meeting in Kano Government House designed to persuade PDP rebel governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, to decamp to the APC.  Assuming that only Northerners were present, Buhari declared the Boko Haram was a “strategic plan” by the government of Goodluck Jonathan to “destroy the North.”  When Jonathan declared a state of emergency in Yobe, Borno and Adamawa states, Buhari still saw this with Northern goggles, insinuating that the President is waging war on the North.
President of the North
Without a doubt, Buhari has massive support in the North.  Indeed, he is the most popular Northern politician in the North today.  But that precisely remains his undoing at the centre.  The more he has been identified as a Northern champion, the less attractive he has become as a national choice.  Even in the North, his support base is limited to the Muslim population.  He does not appeal to Northern Christians.  Then there is the added factor of the opposition of his implacable opponents among the Northern elite.  Men like Babangida and Atiku would rather die than allow Buhari get to Aso Rock.
One thing is certain, the South-South and the South-East will not vote for Buhari in 2015.  Not only that; there are no buyers for Buhari’s sectarian politics in the South-West.   No matter what Tinubu might be telling him, the people of the South-West will not vote for Buhari in 2015.  We already had the template in 2011, when Buhari tried to sell himself, first by balancing his ticket with a Yoruba man; and then by making sure the Yoruba man is a Christian; a pastor no less.  But it just did not wash.  It will not work in 2015.
The worst thing that can happen to Northern presidential aspirations in 2015 is for Buhari to be on the APC ballot.  That is a sure guarantee that the North will not be providing the next president.   Buhari would be a shoo-in in an election for president of Northern Nigeria.  But in an election encompassing the entire country, the best he can envisage is to be a kingmaker.  He cannot be king.  The nearest Buhari will get to Aso Rock in 2015 is by attending the Council of State meetings.
