If all members of PDP who have been destroying Nigeria and impoverishing the people all moved to APC the supposed "change" as you called it; then what will become of Nigeria if it eventually gets to the (centre)Aso Rock?

crazygod:
I have a feeling that OBJ is one of the sponsors of bokoharam. All he revealed just points out that he knows the leaders of the group which of course he could be part of.

Obasanjo: An embarrassment to humanity.

calebo101:
Obasanjo is a pained man. He has lost everything and there's nothing left for him to hold on to if not to find a backdoor into the power house again. It's not unusual for old men to crave and cling on to power, especially African leaders, (Biya, Ghadaffi, Mugabe, et al). Obasanjo desperately needs power and that is his game plan.

I can understand Jonathan has completely frustrated him by making him entirely irrelevant in PDP and weeded all his allies away and that is seriously affecting Obasanjo. "He whom the gods want to destroy, they first make him mad".

A normal old Ex-leader should be a statesman and act as an advisory agent to the present leaders but Obasanjo can not do that because in the first place he has no Family to turn to. He is estranged with his children already after sleeping with his son's wife and the public disgrace meted out to him by his daughter.

To add insult to injury, the "clueless" one has taught him a very important lesson at his old age. Jonathan has checkmated him using Kashamu Buruji to limit his influence on South-West PDP, (talk of dog fighting dog). And his old nemesis, Tony Anenih is Jonathan's henchman. Jonathan has taken ALL from him and completely dismantled his structures. No political power anymore, and more painful no family to soothe him.

When Jonathan wins the election (it would hold and he will win!!!), he would have successfully pulled out the greatest coup and the real change in Nigeria's political history. The "clueless" one has stepped on lot of toes, looked at them eyeball to eyeball and dared them. Little wonder why the whole world is against him.

On March 28 a new dawn will emerge in Nigeria's history. The final departure from the scene of the old men that has refused to let Nigeria be, with Obasanjo and Buhari leading the failed packs.

APC can keep shouting change all they want and they can keep accusing PDP for 16 wasted years but the facts are barefaced, 80% or more of the erstwhile PDP members that destroyed Nigeria for years are now in the APC. The real change is Jonathan, the "clueless" one.

Hope it didn't get to Buhari?
Hope the Arewa people's general was not hit.

barcanista:
It is no news that some media and personalities have been reporting of a "planned" installation of an Interim National Government by President Goodluck Jonathan. Sahara Reporters, Obasanjo and other "sources" are few people to be propagating this "revelation".

We were told that the Jonathan's administration has no plan to conduct the election and it planned to create a chaos for the Army led by General Kenneth Minimah to takeover the reins of power because they will rather not witness a Buhari government.

Later we were told that the President plans to perpetually remain in power by getting the NASS postpone the election for six months with the pretence of the crises in the North - East. The plan is to invoke Section 135(3) of the Constitution according to this theory.

Just of recent we were told by Sahara Reporters that their "Source" told them that Jonathan approached exHead of State General Abdulsalam Abubakar and "begged" him to head the supposed ING. The plan according to this source is to prevent Muhammadu Buhari from gaining victory at the poll. According to SR, the Jonathan government is to bribe NASS members with $2m and $1m each for Senate and Reps members respectively.
The plan here is for them to invoke Section 135(3) of the Constitution and declare the ING.

Aside from the fact that all theories appear disjointed and does not portray in anyway as to how Jonathan will benefit from the schemes, it also begs for the question of what is the possibility?

Firstly, Jonathan had told the US Secretary of State Mr John Kerry that the election will be held and a New Government inaugurated come May 29. President Jonathan repeated the statement in his media chat. So far, there has been no clue as to whether he plans to remain indefinitely. He also debunked the story of handing over to the Military or any illegal government

Secondly, the talk of Interim National Government is alien to our constitution. There is no way that can happen when we have no constitutional crises. There is no way Abdulsalam or Minimah can assume power except there is a coup. If there is any, then there will be a counter coup. Assuming Jonathan even considers bribing the NASS to get the six(6) months extension, he doesn't need an Abdulsalam or an ING to lead during the extension period. Section 135(3) of the Constitution is very clear that the incumbent preside over the country for the period of any extension. Considering that the opposition controls the House, the ruling party have the Senate, except there is a compromise, that will not scale through.

Thirdly, if the President is to exploit the Military. it will be to give PDP undue advantage at the poll by harassing the opposition on the day of election, and not to handover power to any Gen Minimah or a phantom ING that isn't feasible anywhere.

This talk of an ING is baseless, a distraction, a tool to heat up the already saturated polity. It is one propaganda too many. It is a threat to peace and our collective unity. I have absolute confidence that the election will be held and winner will be inaugurated come May 29.

thunder74:
I agree with you, something is fundamentally wrong. But from the history of all that left PDP, one can conclude that Jonathan is doing somethings right. No more godfathers in PDP selections, contracts are awarded tru competitive bidding....

camplenigeria:
Small sense in what you have said but the folly is so big and hidden. PDP is now APC.

blackbeau1:
yes. its just fun

SHOPPERS:
Something really needs to be concerning transport allowance for corpers. I won't say I can't do this. It depends on the state. I'm sure this should be in the north. What if that's the only available option for these graduates serving their father land?

Raymondgabriel:
This report is very funny! Handing over to an interim govt is the funniest part! Who would jettison the opportunity to rule nigeria 4 the next 4yrs just 4 an interim govt! A sitting president is scared of opposition in nigeria? Seems they havnt been following nigerian politics!!

He can visit all the churches, it still wouldn't change the fact that he is an official sympathizer of the Boko Haram, an Islamic terrorist group, & that he propagated the implementation of sharia law, and that by his words & actions in previous elections has always been an Islamic extremist. These are verifiable facts from the archives of d national dailies. GMB can't pull the wool ova our eyes even if he decides to visit the pope in his desperation for power.

bishopjoe02:
Buhari Accent wan kill me oh. .. is dis d man the America PR is branding as our Messiah. ..
Jonathan is corrupt. . bt Buhari is nt d Messiah. . the beautiful one is nt yet born. .. let all wait till 2019 and see if we can get a Messiah. . Jonathan and Buhari are not the men for the job

mcfynest:
i think buhari is reading from somewhere, just look at his eyeballs movement. i love buari though,

theChiefPriest:
The constitution allows for two tenures but the incumbent must have to face the electorate who have the power to decide his fate.

Sentiments apart, has jonathan done well to deserve your vote with what has been happening under his watch in the last six years?
Don't you think he should step aside for a more pragmatic leader who knows exactly what to do? Be honest with your answer.

I personally do not like Buhari. But you & I know how much we need a change in our country that will set it on the right course.

miraclewonder:
hmmm
GMB has now copied the PDP style of going from
church to church. Maybe he is now 'born again', &
no longer the fanatical supporter of the
implementation of sharia law, & the official
sympathizer of the Boko Haram, we used to know.
We just dey watch you, because we know that the
heart of man is deceitful and a leopard can not
change its spots.
Just wondering aloud, Why he is not also visiting
the Imams & d mosques. After all, charity should
begin @ home. Hope he would still be fraternizing
with them after he loses the elections.

ndcide:
Absolute BULL..!
this man said Muslims should vote Muslims only.

This man never showed statesmanship when Churches were being bombed. it is at the eleventh hour he's saying all this bleeding crap because he wants vote. This man have not spoken against boko haram. he simply politically blames the FG and add some soft lines to show condemnation.

Abeg he should relax.if he is not President nothing will happen.

J12:
So all the activities of the INEC should be shrouded in secrecy because they are "independent"?

The PDP is a stakeholder in the elections, they have every right to know about every election process, activity, device, technology etc. This is a democracy!

helphelp:
Afrobeat star and Late Fela's son, Seun Kuti  has explained why he would not vote this year. He also opened up on the only condition under which he would forgive Buhari for locking his father up. He told the Nation.

You recently came out and said you were
misrepresented in some quarters of the media
concerning the major presidential candidates.
What are your views about the coming elections?
Are you going to vote? Do you have your PVC?

No, I don’t have my PVC because I decided already
long time ago, even before the candidates were
chosen, that the election is the politician’s
elections still. I’m not going to vote. And I’ve
been proven correct. I’m happy that so many
people in Nigeria today want to be involved in
the democraticprocess of this country. It is a big
development in our democratic development.
And so many people want to also cast protest
votes this year protest against how the
country has been run by the
present administration and I understand. And I
support it as well. But the truth about it is that I
believe that I am very politically mature. And for
me to cast my vote, whoever I vote for has to
represent my aspirations. I won’t just cast a
protest vote in as much as a protest vote is
needed in this forthcoming election.
The candidate that is brought forward as well is
someone that I believe is not in the good books of
the Kuti family. And my family, we’re very united in
our views about civic responsibility and human
rights.
And retired General Buhari has trampled on the
rights of my family when he jailed my father,
illegally for that matter. And Fela was innocent.
This is why it would be difficult for me to say I
want to vote for Buhari.
Maybe if Buhari wins and becomes president, then
I can forgive him if he begins to do to Nigerians
what Fela would have liked for Nigerians because
maybe if Buhari becomes president and he
suddenly becomes pro-people, developing Nigeria
from the ground-up, things that I know would have
made my father happy, and he is bring Nigeria up
yeah.
Definitely, I would understand that even if Fela
were alive and Fela sees Nigeria going forward like
this, he would speak in favour of the man. But so
far, I can’t betray my father based on some
promises and some words. So, that is why I’m not
voting for him.

Like actions in Hollywood blockbusters, gunmen, which number could not be easily ascertained, on Friday morning raided a printing press in Shomolu area of Lagos State, carting away copies of a book on the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.

Our correspondent gathered that the gunmen harassed the printers and took away copies of the book, entitled Two-Faced Jonathan: 100 Reasons Why Jonathan Must Go, authored by Blessing Agbomhere.

Workers in the printing press who were too  frightened, could not ask questions or confront the gun-wielding men suspected to be security operatives.

Speaking to journalists on the development, Agbomhere said the book was scheduled for launch at the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) Secretariat in Lagos, before the incident.

Agbomhere, who is also the initiator of Change Ambassador of Nigeria (CAN), said, “This book was being printed in Shomolu and I was told that the book that was to be launched today (Saturday) was taken away after someone within the printing press, who has sympathy for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), alerted security operatives about it.

“They came and confiscated all the printed copies of the book.  They came in mufti.

“We don’t know the arm of security agency that they belong to, or whether they are private individuals or not.

“The printers had to immediately release the books to them, because, they were heavily armed. I am not owing them. I have already paid them.”

Agbomhere added that the book mirrors Jonathan as a “President of the cabal, Tompolo, Asari-Dokubo and a few other corrupt elements, who are sponsoring Boko Haram to destroy Nigeria’s unity.

“The book says President Jonathan has failed to defend the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and as such should not seek re-election or ask for a job he know he doesn’t have the capacity to do,” he said.

The author dared Jonathan to act on the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) forensic audit report and bring those indicted by the report to book.

Also speaking, Ibilola Essien, a social entrepreneur with Act Now Nigeria, a non-governmental organisation, said the present administration has not done enough to salvage the country from the many problems besieging it.

According to her, poverty and corruption have continued to soar, while insecurity in the North East has claimed over 15,000 lives since 2009.
