PDP is rudderless. The shoeless Otueken fisherman cannot guide that boat. Today fight, tomorrow beg.
Shame on them.

A very big shame, my brother.

The same Motor-Park tout they rubbished few days ago? I didn't know OBJ was this relevant to them. The pple that called baba all sort of names after he tore his PDP membership card can now see he is not useless afterall.

Many said "Good Riddance", "Baba's exit will make them stronger cos he only sabotages their efforts", "Baba is a Chimpanzee", "He is a useless man, he slept with his son's wife", "GEJ has put a stop to Godfatherism in Nigeria politics" and so on ...And just few days later,they are crawling back to him.



Lesson Learnt: Never believe anything coming from the PDP.

Quote1:
An honest and sincere letter/review.

true that

Dear President Goodluck Jonathan:

Let me begin by stating that I approach your person and presidency from a sympathetic perspective. My unsolicited support is predicated on the fact that you are from the Niger Delta, a region that has given so much yet received little from our country and perhaps because you have always struck me as a humble exemplar of the rags to prominence fable.

As an underdog in the political terrain, you were a stranger to power: You were not from a political family; you were neither from the military nor business class. You were from the periphery of the academia. I have occasionally been embarrassed by how you were treated by some critics. I have had occasion to be upset at how some journalists treated you in some of the interviews you granted. Like many Nigerians, I wanted you to succeed as your success was directly correlated with our success as a society. Therefore, this letter is not full of vitriol. Rather, it contains a sober and non-partisan assessment of your options at this defining moment.

Societies do not often go through this kind of moment. I presume that you and those around you can sense the mood of the times. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo saw a glimpse of the quality of this moment during the third term debacle. General Ibrahim Babangida who famously “stepped aside” may speak to the character of this moment. But by a wide margin, General Sani Abacha’s era could provide clearer lessons. You are on the cusp of history. You are, as history may record, in a world-historical crucible at this moment. Nobody feels it better than you. Nobody in Nigeria bears greater responsibility. Our country’s survival is in your hands.

Your Excellency, you are a product of the Nigerian system. No one needs to remind you about your meteoric emergence on the national stage. You were favoured above several individuals who by your own confession were better qualified and had more experience. Nonetheless, you emerged as a relatively young state executive; part of the new generation of leaders without the baggage and blood-stained hands of military coups. And of course, your being from the Niger Delta was music to the ears of many of us. We were ecstatic; you could do no wrong in our eyes!

However, the major power brokers that made you no longer want you. Anecdotal evidence also strongly suggests that many of the people no longer want you. Nigeria as you admitted to US ambassador, Robin Sanders, during the succession debacle, is too complex for a simple man like you. I am afraid, Mr. President, that Nigeria needs someone with qualities that you do not possess. It is not for lack of effort on your part. There are too many wolves in Nigeria. They are not wolves in sheep’s clothing; they are shameless wolves. You never stood a chance, Mr. President. Nigeria needs a complex thinker who can call to order errant old men in the self-serving elite; someone they either respect or fear.

The ongoing political crisis is turning into heroes some who should be in prison for corruption, human rights violation or both. Our country is hemorrhaging. When those whose livelihood depends on not telling you the truth leave the room and you are all alone, speak to your Creator and do the right thing for the long-suffering Nigerian people. You must be reasy for the probability that you may lose the presidential election. That may well be good for the country and yourself. It is time for you to stay true to your beliefs and scriptures. All power belongs to God and he gives it to whomever he wills.

I am not particularly thrilled that someone who was military Head of State when I was barely out of diapers may succeed you in office but that may well be the beauty of democracy. Do not impede the voice of the people. History may yet be kind to you if you conduct free and fair elections. You are unlikely to win the Mo Ibrahim or Nobel Prize but you will earn significant respect for peaceful transfer of power and begin a dignified life in retirement. You may even become a power broker although I view you as too humble to want that role.

Your Excellency, your primary aim must now be a higher purpose than winning an election. Allow Professor Attahiru Jega to do his job. You cannot replace the umpire at the last minute. The optics are bad. Meet with the Inspector General of Police and military chiefs and let them know that your political ambitions are secondary to the well-being of our country. Stop your supporters from fanning the embers of religious bigotry. Provide the needed resources and leadership to tackle Nigeria’s many security problems. Allow the notion of an interim national government to remain what it is — a mere rumour. Please, address the Nigerian people and tell fellow Nigerians you are speaking to them as their leader and not a candidate for election. Tell them to vote for whomsoever they please and that you will ensure there is no electoral rigging.

It is your right to stand for office but ensure you act ethically and legally. Campaign with all your heart but be ready to accept defeat. I do not think that your luck has ran out. I think your luck has now called you to rise beyond the self. Your name isGoodluck. There may yet be more luck in store for you but clinging on to power is not in your fortunes. You will be stunned at how history will remember you if you organize free and fair elections. Do not take Nigeria towards the road to Rwanda. I wish you well.

Sincerely,

'Tope Oriola.

my friend, keep quiet. it's true.

Am sorry if my post has to do with ur likes. Its just the plain truth.... I didn't knw u arnt as clever as u tag urself. cos if u are, you ll know "you can't be the judge in ur own case".


Endeavour to read the whole story nxt time, and not just the topic.

Mtcheew*

whoever believes this poo will believe anything..even dou u tell them APC was behind the assasination of GEN. AZAZI, or your swimming pool was stolen from your house..

PDP is just a party full of bloodthirsty pple.

ochejoseph:
Are you saying that APC as the second biggest party in Nigeria does not have a single sensible young person it can "appoint" as a National Youth Leader ?

abegi! Leave that age side. Na APC flaws una go dey find until den go win elections.

Topeakintola:
Most of these people praying for the death of General Buhari might be surprised that they will die before him.

Sai Baba

May God stamp this speedily. AMEN

Buhari is the man..The only man in Nigeria that does not need to spend money to get the vote of the majority

omenka:
Lol. Haba bros, wetin Buhari get to do with this one??

hahahaha..na the spirit be that. He wan show the PDP e-rats say na APC they do better thing for naija

MR OP, CALM dOWN CALM DOWN -in reminisce's voice.

They ve got a problem there. About 600,000 PVCs were wrongly taken to ogun state for sistribution and that's the reason for this low percentage. Plus this has nothing to do with OBJ and Osinbanjo cos u never can tell the party which those who have collected their PVCs belong.

Chiaka:
Same way you meddled into someone else. Its called a forum, you meddle into somebody else, some other person(s) does same to you....

Good. You ve got a point there. Buh did you see my first post? If yes, how does that look like an insult? The guy that first mentioned me attacked me indirectly by using my father. Am sure u didn't see that

Chiaka:
U talk like a looser.! loooooooosers! are quick to cursing. Good you said correct , better to say suggest, no probs will go with 'correct'.
I guess you were with him when he was correcting him in private. Even if a pastor/Imam feels he is a better preacher he cannot mount the pulpit and disgrace the incumbent pastor because that's not his office.......that will be a sane thing to do. OBJ is just too obsessed with control.
Learn to make your points without using hate and cursing about........son of bewitched slut.....paying you with your words.

hahahahaa... E don pain am.

To the ladies, av always bn a gentleman until now. Na u just chuk mouth for wetin no concern you..issoryt sha..try not to meddle in affairs that doesn't concern you nxt time.

Kissssssssssses*

Chiaka:
Because you have an old man in your congregation as a Pastor or Imam, then you a young Imam should leave the pulpit for him to preach right? Pin head

what is this empty headed slut saying?

And in a situation where the young pastor/Imam fails to discharge his responsibilities well, is there anything wrong in the more experience pastor/Imam correcting him? OBJ has corrected your so called mr president in private but he z refused to listen..now he z getting it the hard way, bimbos like you are complaining.

Mtcheew#
Smello oshi#

saintandsinnerz:
Now I know you don't know what an analogy means do you? People like you who doesn't have much to offer in a discourse always resort to insults and name calling. Just jog along

oh so you know what insult means..I never knew.

If you dnt understand my earlier comment jst ask. There is no harm in asking..

I am sure you are a Nigerian. And you were very much alive when GEJ called OBJ a motor park tout forgeting that every action begets a reaction. So I don't see anything wrong in all what OBJ did. After all, there is freedom of expression and they both enjoyed it. Plus We ve always known him (OBJ) as a "raw" man when it comes to talking and acting....And believe me, if GEJ had not failed to this extent (when everybody is against him), even OBJ dare not insult him because he will always remember he z got his flaws too..


..And that was my reason for saying "Respect is given to those that deserve it. It is not gotten on a platter of gold"

VANHELLSING:
Many ignorant & dumb fools abound in nairaland land. The riffraff you quoted is a bloody yoloba boy aka cleverly

Na your type de follow men/boys on this forum, thinking they are following female folk

ediot..check my profile to see those I am following..most of them are male..he/she may be any tribe and gender. The most important thing is the sense in his/her comments..

NgeneUkwenu:
Very Apt! He thought he would wipe out half of the population of the North East, to enable him deflate Buhari's votes, but it didn't work out, hence the reluctance to face the General in the main election!

A very wicked and Useless Man!

I am amazed to see an igbo bn plain as this. You are one in 10million..



#u deserve to be followed#

lordsharks:
Realy?

yes boss

saintandsinnerz:
When your father does something wrong is it better for you to criticize him in the public or criticize him privately? Which one do you prefer?

bn a president doesnt make him a father to an ex president, dickhead

Omoyele Sowore is Jst 1 of d few men that are not afraid of saying the truth..anytym, anywia, anyday.

kastonkastrol:
Mtcheeeeewww*

Awon smellos

confirm.

Abeg una wey know history, make una tell small boy like me o! No be Jona be OBJ candidate for 2011 election? If yes, which one be the "Never Allow Igbos to Rule Again" agreement?

..And when you talk of Godfatherism, what could be more of Godfatherism than GEJ bn the only PDP presidential candidate for the 2015 elections after failing the nation woefully? He must have bought other aspirants over with "our" money.. He (GEJ) himself is planning on bn a Godfather..buh the question is "when lizard enter water wey hin wan dey form crocodile?"




I can't believe I wasted my time reading this.

She has always looked like a doll

The Transition Monitoring Group on Wednesday asked President Goodluck Jonathan and the Independent National Electoral Commission not to further postpone the general elections.

The TMG, in a statement by its Chairman, Mr. Ibrahim Zikirullahi, warned that any attempt to change the dates of the elections would be resisted by Nigerians.

It alleged that the Federal Government and some other persons in the ruling party have “been pushing the military further into partisan political terrain, in a manner that portends grave danger to our democracy.”

While condemning the alleged surveillance of the homes of opposition politicians, the TMG said the Federal Government is eroding its legitimacy if it does not desist from such an act

The group also advised the Army to probe a leaked audio which linked some Peoples Democratic Party leaders to the alleged rigging of the governorship elections in Ekiti State.

The statement read, “The contents of a recently leaked audio tape, which allegedly presented an unholy alliance between the military and some politicians during the Ekiti governorship election should be investigated. If the content of this tape is anything to go by, and the culprits therein are not brought to book, the same scenario may well be expected in the 2015 elections.

“While the TMG is still in the process of investigating these claims, we call on the military to immediately speak and explain to Nigerians the roles of the officers identified in the tape.   Silence in this matter will not be taken as golden; we insist the military should immediately speak up on this issue to clear the air and save its sinking reputation.

“It is disturbing that the military, an institution that should at every point be seen as a symbol of Nigeria’s national unity, has allowed itself to be dragged into the partisan arena, to the extent that Nigerians are increasingly losing confidence in it.”

The group called on political parties to stop paying lip service to the quest for peace by ensuring they denounce supporters that engage in violence.
