My couzin also saw alariwo fighting some policemen behind marwa gardens,alahusa. just 3 weeks ago. if this is tru, he should turn an activist abeggg

Its really funny how some people are always ready to mortgage their souls for peanuts, OKAY we agreed that CPC has stolen your idea but why dont you head to the court to settle your problems rather your result to public assault. Its Clear PDP is ready to throw the kitchen sink but they should be careful cos they are just making the CPC look like a saint. THIS CLAIM IS FRAUDULENT AND SPURIOUS

Jonathan may get more spread  ||  Buhari may get more votes  || South-West is battleground  || Ethnicity, religion pivotal for voters

Just days before the presidential election scheduled for April 9, investigations by LEADERSHIP show that the election might be headed for a cliff hanger.


But handlers of incumbent president Goodluck Jonathan are optimistic that their principal would floor his challengers in the first ballot, making a runoff needless.
LEADERSHIP reporters nationwide gathered that the president’s main challenger, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), the standard bearer of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), would put up a strong showing in most of the northern states. In the North-West zone, the former head of state may sweep more than 70 per cent of the votes in the states of Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara, Katsina, Jigawa and Kano. In Kaduna State, he may split the votes with Jonathan.
Buhari is also likely to win more than 75 per cent of the votes cast in Jigawa and Kano. Findings indicate that Buhari’s popularity in Kano may have effectively eclipsed Governor Ibrahim Shekarau, another presidential contender on the platform of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP).
Buhari, however, is likely to sweep more than 80 per cent of the votes in the North-Eastern states of Borno and Yobe, 60 per cent in Bauchi, Adamawa and Gombe while he might win 30 per cent in Taraba. This is against a projected Jonathan’s 15 per cent in Borno, 10 per cent in Yobe, 50 per cent in Taraba, 20 per cent in Bauchi, 30 per cent in Gombe and 30 per cent in Adamawa.
In the North-Central geopolitical region, Jonathan may lead in four of the six states: as much as 60 per cent in Kogi to Buhari’s 30; 50 per cent in Benue to Buhari’s 30; 60 per cent in Plateau to Buhari’s 30. The CPC candidate is, however, presumed to be ahead of Jonathan in Niger and Nasarawa states; he is expected to sweep more than 70 per cent of the votes.
The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) presidential candidate, Nuhu Ribadu, may make a surprise showing in Kwara State with 25 per cent of the total votes just like Buhari, while Jonathan would garner as much as 35 per cent, making Kwara one of the two states where three major candidates might score the required 25 per cent of the votes.
Jonathan is expected to sweep more than 80 per cent of the votes in all the South-East and South-South states.
But the South-West would be the battleground for the elections. It is possible for Jonathan, Buhari and Ribadu to get their required 25 per cent in Lagos. In Oyo State, 40 per cent of voters are rooting for Jonathan, 25 per cent for Buhari and 30 per cent for Ribadu. In Osun, 35 per cent is for Jonathan, and 60 per cent for Ribadu. The CPC has not yet made inroads.
According to our findings, Jonathan may win 25 per cent in 24 states while Buhari may win in 20 states; Ribadu in seven and Shekarau in none. As the electoral history of this country shows, a candidate that would be president must decisively win either the South-West or North-West. Jonathan does not appear to be dominant in either. He is not likely to win North-West and would share the South-West. Because of that, even though he may have more spread, Buhari may have a greater number of votes. That is obviously the calculation of the opposition parties. But if the president surprisingly does much better than expected in the South-West, he could win on the first ballot.
On the other hand, if Buhari gets 25 per cent in all South-West states as many of his supporters are predicting, that will give him 25 per cent in 24 states in addition to garnering the overall majority of the votes - enough to give him victory in the first round.
This analysis is based on the assumption that the elections will be free and fair and that the people will be ready to protect their votes.

Assumptions and strategies of the politicians
•    Many of the governors across the parties still intend to rig the elections
•    Jonathan’s PDP believes it will win on the first ballot, working to get 25 per cent in the 19 states of the North
•    Buhari’s CPC believes it will win on the first ballot. They believe they will get the required 25 per cent in all South-West states. This belief is pervasive amongst its South-West chieftains and operatives.
•    Ribadu’s ACN thinks it will come second in an inconclusive presidential election that will compel Buhari to throw his weight behind Ribadu in the runoff.
•    Jonathan’s aides have started the last-minute campaign of subtly promoting Jonathan’s candidacy as distinct from PDP’s candidate. In other words, they are trying to avoid the widespread antipathy against the PDP from rubbing off on their candidate.
•    The majority of PDP’s apparatchiks and Jonathan’s campaign aides still want to take advantage of incumbency to rig the elections. Jonathan is clearly on his own by insisting that no one should rig for him. But they are not sure of what Professor Attahiru Jega has in stock, especially as the INEC chairman has vigorously protected his independence unlike his predecessors. It will also depend on how far the ordinary people will go to “protect their votes”.

Our Findings
•    This assumption is based on the fact that the election will be credible.
•    Jonathan is very weak in most northern states but may be able to get the required 25 per cent only in Kaduna in the North-West, Gombe and Taraba in North-East and even slimmer chances in Adamawa and Bauchi states. In the North-Central, he may also get more than the required 25 per cent in Benue, Plateau, Kwara and Kogi states. Jonathan may, however, win in the FCT.
•    Buhari is very weak in the South-South and South-East and not likely to get 25 per cent in any of the states. Buhari is, however, likely to get the overwhelming majority in Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara, Kano, Katsina, Jigawa, Borno, Yobe, Bauchi, Niger, Nasarawa and Gombe states. He may get about a half of the votes in Kaduna. He may also get more than a comfortable 25 per cent in Taraba, Plateau, Benue, Kwara and more than 40 per cent in Adamawa. Kogi State is very dicey for the CPC presidential candidate.
•    Nuhu Ribadu is not really on ground in Lagos as is to be expected. Ninety per cent of those in Lagos who told LEADERSHIP that they would vote for Fashola for governor did not name Ribadu as their presidential candidate. This is also substantially true among most of the South-West states.
•    In the North, Ibrahim Shekarau does not seem to have made any headway, even though most people were impressed with his performance at the presidential debate. Shekarau does not even appear poised to give Buhari a respectable fight in Kano.
•    Those in the opposition who claim that the presidential election is headed for a runoff and those in the PDP who say Jonathan will win on the first ballot all have reasonable grounds for their positions. If the CPC and ACN are able to prevent Jonathan from getting 25 per cent in Ondo, Ekiti and Osun especially, and CPC is able to limit his entry into the North, then, there will be a runoff. But if Jonathan gets 40 per cent of the South-West states including Lagos, and gets up to 25 per cent in up to 10 northern states, he will win at the first round.
•    Ethnicity, religion and other pedestrian considerations still rate high among voters.
•    Clearly, the South-West is the battleground for Jonathan, Buhari and Ribadu. The grass roots that know only the ACN may vote Ribadu. They would not, strictly speaking, be voting Ribadu. They would be voting for ACN. The majority of the elite and traditional rulers are rooting for Buhari. Many, in-between, will vote Jonathan. The Igbo population in Lagos, a third of the six million voters of the complex city, are likely to vote Jonathan. Ogun has a large population of northerners, in addition to the rapport between Buhari and the ACN governorship candidate who may give the CPC candidate leverage in the state. He is also close to the ACN governorship candidate and there are signs that Pastor Tunde Bakare has been able to strike some deals with some key power centres in the South-West.

Loll ===THE FINAL SEASON===DOOMSDAY

And who says Tinubu is not an enemy of democracy?

Trust me he wont show up here, They think the mallam no fit yarn. But seriously if Atiku the custom's Boss at the time knew that Buhari was corrupt don't you think he would have exposed him by now.

I LOVE THIS

The Presidential Candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) retired General Muhammadu Buhari yesterday in Jigawa State described the allegation of corruption levelled against him by the President Goodluck Jonathan campaign team as “nonsense, untrue and unfounded.” The Director, Presidential Campaign Council of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Mike Omeri had in a press statement accused General Buhari of exhibiting double standard in public administration while in government.

Speaking to newsmen in Dutse, General Buhari said there is no iota of truth in the entire allegation, adding that “what happened was that, we have a policy during my regime that anybody that comes into the country his/her luggage should be checked at the Airport”.

Later in a statement issued by his spokesman, Yinka Odumakin, Buhari said, “Our attention has been drawn to another lousy outing by President Goodluck Jonathan’s ‘Chemical Ali,’ Mike Omeri, who ran to foul the atmosphere with a thoughtless charge that General Buhari is not sincere about his resolve to rid Nigeria of corruption.”

He said Omeri’s only evidence to support his assertion is the fabled “53 suitcases” of 1984.

Buhari explained thus: “in 1984, the Emir of Gwandu whose son (Almustapha Jokolo) was ADC to General Buhari was returning to the country from overseas. The head of state, on learning of his arrival, asked his son to go and receive him at the airport as they were only playing squash at the time.”

“Coincidentally, the Nigerian ambassador to Libya at the time, Dr Tahir Waziri had arrived at the same time with the emir with his three wives and 16 children. They all came with their belongings as he was coming home to take up a new appointment as chief of protocol to the head of state.”

“It was the suitcases of the family of 20 that were counted as belonging to the emir and falsely presented to the public. General Buhari has over the years asked those who have questions over the matter to go to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, who was at the head of Customs operations at the airport on the day,” his spokesperson said.

Meanwhile, Buhari has asked Jonathan to explain “what happened to the case of N104m seized from Nancy Ebere Nwosu who allegedly swore to an affidavit to the EFCC that she was laundering money for Dame Patience Jonathan.”

He also wants the president to explain “the announcement by the then EFCC spokesman, Mr Osita Nwajah on September 11, 2006 that the sum of USD13.5 million was seized from another associate of Mrs. Jonathan which the anti-graft body said belonged to the now first lady.”

Buhari says Nigerians need an explanation on “who presided over the FEC meeting on October 2009, where a 4 km runway at Abuja Airport was awarded for N64bn? Whereas, late President Yar’adua was already in Saudi Hospital as at the time!”

Also, Nigerians need to know “what happened to the USD30billion Yar’adua left in the excess crude account that is virtually empty now?

The spokesperson explained that no amount of cheap blackmail will stop the desired change Nigerians are poised to effect in April polls.

My Unbiased Analysis

Shekarau== Brilliant and articulate speaker, straight to the point on major issues. But i don't know his antecedents on a larger platform but definitely a good product from the North. 70%

Buhari=== Very humble and brief speaker, not arrogant, didnt attack any other speaker like ribadu and kept to time. Although he seems to lack depth in the understanding of current problems facing Nigeria and how to tackle them Yet he seems balanced, a trusted and capable hand. He can make do with capable hands like Obasanjo did. i will give him.  55%

Ribadu=== He almost won the debate until he started attacking what other Speakers said and kept harassing the audience for trying to correct him when he said Nigerians are not corrupt. Dude probably thinks he is still in Efcc. He is somehow naive and jumpy like one John McCain from the USA. Nigeria is in trouble if you put such a man in care of a Nuclear weapon because he will press the button in haste before any fact finding . I will still give him 50% for showing up.

Laff don commot my teeth, nice one brov,

At this rate, Jonathan should promise to raise my dead grandma and i will vote him==== Walahi

The presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.), yesterday clarified that he had never advocated for political violence throughout his campaign rallies across the country.

He called on his supporters who coverged on the Sokoto Trade Fair Complex to cast their votes for CPC candidates in the April polls in the interest of the masses.

Buhari, who was in Sokoto State in continuation of his nationwide campaign rally, however, reiterated his commitment to carry all Nigerians along if he emerged as the next president of the county.

He said: “Cast your vote, protect it, and don’t allow anybody to snatch your ballot boxes. Anything short of that can make our effort in vain.’’

The former head of state maintained that if given the opportunity to rule the country once more, his government would wipe out corruption while prudence and accountability would be put in place. He said that he would run a government that would ensure equal treatment to all Nigerians irrespective of ethnicity, religion or geographical location.

Speaking during a courtesy call on the state governor, Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, at the Government House, Sokoto, Buhari said that if there was anything he feared most in his life it was violence because it made him lose many of his colleagues in the military.

“I saw the coup of January 1966; I saw the counter-coup. I saw the civil war. So if there is anything I feared, of course, it is violence because I experienced it. I lost friends and collegues in the military due to violence.

“I don’t advocate violence, but having been a presidential candidate twice, in 2003 and 2007 and because of what had happened, we are telling our supporters to help devise ways which they will ensure their votes were counted,” he said.

According to Buhari, “this is what I have been preaching and I am sure it was what President Jonathan preached while campaigning.”

In his remark, Governor Wamakko said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government both at the state and federal levels were committed to free, fair and transparent election in the country. He recalled Nigerian governors’ meeting with President Jonathan where, he said, the president sincerely told them “if we really love this country and want it to progress, we must conduct free and fair elections in 2011”.

Wamakko also said that, in Sokoto, they were against violence and this was what informed his recent warning that his government would not fold its arms to allow some unscrupulous elements in the society to cause a breach of peace.
