While Adekunle Ajasin /Prof Ambrose Ali etc were detained and beaten, President Shehu Shagari was relaxing in presidential quarters cause of his privilege of being a northerner.

According to Fela: Driver get accident, Police arrest conductor
Anyway here is the Nigerian Guardian of 1985.

Mynd44:
GEJ's biggest undoing will be believing the BS you people are selling to him. Forget the North, if Buhari could get 13 million votes with CPC, he has no problem getting a huge number in the north in this election, the decided is the South West.

Now playing: "Tesojue" by Reminisce.

Wafekulaleyi

You call it BS but this survey was carried out in 33 states by a non partisan foreign organisation outside the influence of PDP.
Elections are not won on the internet.

Opposition offers viable alternative?

PDP 38
APC 31

When Gej is declared the winner as expected I urge gullible Nigerian youths not to heed the call by
those whose children stays in Europe but ready to use you as canon fodder.

In the core north, research has proven the security services are prepared to deal ruthlessly with those hell bent on fermenting trouble, a repeat of 2011 is not an option.

For those in the SW, forget it, Mbu is in Lagos for a reason...enough said.

[size=15pt]DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE USED[/size]

Considering most northerners were too scared to say they'd vote PDP, I believe this election is going to be a walk over. Let Buhari win online election and get all the likes he can on the internet.

No need for internet meaningless votes.

The race between President Goodluck Jonathan of the ruling PDP and Muhammadu Buhari of the opposition APC for Nigeria’s presidency is too close to call, a survey by an African-led, non-partisan research network, Afrobarometer has indicated.

Afrobarometer, which made public the result of its research on the forthcoming presidential election in Nigeria, said the survey which it conducted two months before the elections showed a highly competitive political field with much uncertainty about the prospects for credible and peaceful polls and about the outcome of the elections.
“Nigerians are ready for the election, with 78 percent expressing an intention to vote. But the outcome remains too close to call, especially given the fluidity of the current election environment. The PDP and the APC are neck-to-neck, with each party favoured by 42 percent of likely voters,” the reported said.
It said while most Nigerians looked forward to voting and believed that INEC was prepared. Many also express uncertainty about the likely integrity of the vote count and concerns about their personal security the network said.
It added that it interviewed 2,400 adult Nigerians between December5 and 27 2014, covering 33 of the 36 states as well as the FCT but added it was not possible to conduct interviews in Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe States, due to unrest in the region.
It said key findings by the network in its research indicated that Nigerians are generally dissatisfied with current economic conditions and the government’s performance on key issues.
Afrobarometer is an African-led, non-partisan research network that conducts public attitude surveys on democracy, governance, economic conditions, and related issues across more than 30 countries in Africa.

ba7man:
Dem dey steal oil for Niger Delta like no man's biz, Boko Haram dey expand territory, oil prices are falling, Nigerian's economy's on the brink.................................... and the most important issue to these peeps is Buhari's certificate??

Quick to lambaste the militants but I don't see you bemoan the inequality in oil blocs sharing?

Some MODS can be very overzealous, @OP, I feel you jare.

I twitted two days ago that if you had to follow anyone for political twits, @mr aye dee is your man. It was unfortunate mr Ogundamisi laid bare his inept debating skills taking on the formidable Aye Dee.
Mr AyeDee whooped his lazy a.z.z that I felt sorry for the poor guy.
Follow me @MoseOgidi.

Only the certs will do, we will accept nothing less. Illiterates should be tending cows not running a country of 160million.

I honestly can't see any, except you consider making Nigerian economy the largest in Africa as a drwback.

Is this the same El Rufai who said Buhari is unelectable or a different Hell Rufai?

OLADD:
I tell you my brother, the crowd is massive. Not Bonnke pictures. GEJ TILL APC STOPS PROPAGANDA.

Tell dem o.
No need for Reinhard Bonnke pictures, this is the real deal.

The Transformation is unstoppable.

The least we expect is a re-run or they declare Omidsore the winner.

APC and bokoharam are one and the same ja re. Why did bokoharam pick Buhari as mediator between them and the federal govt?

donphilopus:
Rented crowd, abeg eeee joor. Just awaiting Shepopo's speech.

The 'incoming incumbent' Governor... To hell with illiteracy.

These are not Reinhard Bonnke photos (apologies to Osinbanjo)these are live pictures from a Nairalander in the stadium.

He's a minion so please stop comparing the illiterate with statesmen.

Aegon:
Nuhu for president. 2019.

He is one person that cuts through our religious and political divide, a real anti-corruption crusader.

babyfaceafrica:
the people who think he doesn't have one should go to court to prove otherwise.....if the courts demands he brings it only then should he request for it...not because you and I say so...we have greater things to be worried about

The case has indeed gone to court...https://www.nairaland.com/2117316/activists-sue-buhari-over-perjury

He can't keep running from his own shadow, the olodo would have to provide his qualification to court to compete in the election.

alsudaes1:
I guess it's high time he requested for it formally to clear all doubts.

He can't request for an exam result he was too dull to partake in..

Buhari is playing with 14yrs imprisonment, but why did this illiterate think he can scam a nation of 160million?

By the time he completes his sentence he'd be 87yrs, I wish him long life.

At last many Northerners are now becoming bolder and damning the consequences even at the risk of death.

I’ve received threats for criticising Buhari — Sheik Gumi
A prominent Nigerian Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi, said Tuesday he has been threatened for not supporting Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The Kaduna-based cleric raised the alarm on Tuesday in a Facebook post titled, “PDP v APC: It’s Not about Religion.”

He said his children have also been receiving calls from persons who use unknown telephone numbers to threaten them.

“People like me who had all along been critical about the government can longer speak or express personal opinion if it is not in support of Gen. Buhari,” said Shiekh Gumi.

“Just this morning around 2.30a.m., my three male children individually got threatening phone calls from a private number. People can vote for whoever they choose whether a Christian or a Muslim”

The cleric had in a separate Facebook post in October called on Mr. Buhari not to contest the 2015 presidential election for fear of crisis.

At the same time, he also advised President Goodluck Jonathan not to stand in next year’s presidential election.
Mr. Jonathan has emerged the PDP candidate while Mr. Buhari is the APC candidate.

Mr. Gumi has also recently criticized the choice of a lawyer and pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Yemi Osinbajo, as Mr. Buhari’s running mate, saying, “It’s now the Church not just Christians that have their feet engrossed in the APC.”

Reacting to Sheikh Gumi’s alarm, a Zaria-based cleric, Ahmed Ali, advised the preacher to stay off politics so that he will not derail from what he has been known for.

“Politics is for politicians while religious teachings are in the hands of clerics. Gumi should have remained on that and not start joining issues with politicians,” Mr. Ali said. “You can see that he is being labeled as an enemy by supporters of the candidates he claimed to have given advice.”

Instead of venturing into the murky political terrain, Mr. Ali advised Mr. Gumi to continue preaching to the youth to avoid any form of violence.

He advised Mr. Gumi to offer any advice he has personally to those concerned.

“You can see even if the cleric has a good intention on what he is doing, it is becoming a worrisome issue for him and even his family because he did not do it with wisdom,” Mr. Ali said.

He called on religious leaders to use their positions to preach to people to eschew violence and to also advise politicians to play politics with decorum.

Below is Mr. Gumi’s full message

PDP v APC: it’s not about religion.

Surely there is religion in politics and politics in religion. However the 2015 PDP v APC is not about religion. It’s a time bomb and God is not the author of mischief.

Security members have clamped down on APC members and took away their computers, while some irrational youth are threatening the lives of PDP members with their families in the North. PDP posters are vandalized in some places.

People like me who had been all along critical about the government dear (dare) speak or express my own personal opinion if it’s not in support of Gen. Buhari. One must be bribed or a PDP agent. Just this early morning around 2.30am my three male children individually got threatening phone calls from a private number

So many court cases for Buhari.
Here's another one.

Group Seeks ICC Prosecution Of Buhari

Fashanu Drums Support For Jonathan
By Ishaku Kigbu
— Jan 28, 2015 | Leave a comment

Former Nigerian international John Fashanu has thrown his weight behind President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election bid stating that the president has done well in the area of sports. Fashanu, a one-time Nigeria Football Federation board member spoke yesterday at a press conference in Asokoro Abuja.

Fashanu who plied his trade in England during his active days in football said he had to openly declare his support because he has been receiving calls and messages from friends about whom his candidate was. “I want to publicly declare my support for President Goodluck
https://www.sporting-heroes.net/content/thumbnails/00145/14406-zoom.jpg
Jonathan in the February 14 presidential poll. Unarguably, the polity is divided over who becomes the next president between the candidacy of President Jonathan and former Head of State, General Muhammad Buhari (rtd) of the All Progressive Congress (APC). I have been receiving calls and sms from my friends and well wishers including those on Tweeter, FACEBOOK and other social media asking me who is my candidate? Well I am here to announce to the whole world that my candidate for Presidential poll is President Goodluck Jonathan because of the unprecedented achievements which the country has been achieving in sports. I have been so proud and impressed with Mr. President’s achievements in sports.”

The Unite Nations Sports Ambassador said it is on record that the Super Eagles won the Nations Cup in South Africa under President Jonathan’s administration and for the first time since 1994, the Super Eagles equaled their best ever record at the World Cup in Brazil under him. He said the nation’s U-17 team won the World Cup trophy in the United Arab Emirates and the female U-20 team won the silver in their own World and had the best performance at the Commonwealth Games and the World Athletics Championships. “All these things happened because Mr President has now created a conducive atmosphere where Nigeria sportsmen and women to strive to do better because of the way he appreciates sportsmen and women when they come home.”

Why is her twitter account returning "404" then?

Seems Fashola is hell bent on throwing jabs at APC, this coming after the "AGE" remarks.
While other APC dullards are insinuating it was done by the PDP, Fashola is right for once.

[size=15pt]Its obvious Fashola is not happy with 73yrs old Buhari.[/size]

[size=15pt]Fashola Condemns Attacks On Jonathan[/size]

Lagos State governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola has condemned the reported attacks on President Goodluck Jonathan’s convoy in Bauchi State and other parts of the country, saying nobody has the right to attack the president.

Fashola who said this at an occasion to mark his 2,800 days in office, affirmed that the president has the right to campaign anywhere in country, adding that such behaviours must be condemned if the country wants to move forward.

The governor urged the president to dissociate himself from inflammatory and derogatory statements being made in his name, noting that such statements could spur attacks against him.

He said, “For example, it was reported that the governor of Bauchi, if that report is correct, said that those who attacked the president’s convoy were not APC members, that they were members of their own party who were disgruntled about the gubernatorial ticket in their state.

“Now, APC was accused of the attacks and nobody must attack the president. Let me be clear on that. He has a right like anybody to move freely around especially at this campaign time, and this is not about violence; the vote is really the choice that we need to make, so I want to be clear on that.

“But you see, look at what the president’s campaign has done; they started campaigning before INEC said it was time. As if that was not bad enough, some people have come out to say that if the president loses, heavens will fall. Now it is not the president saying so but it is being said on his behalf. For me, if somebody is true to a peace accord, he must disclaim those statements.”

Speaking further on the peace accord signed by President Jonathan and the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), he added that the Peace Accord was a mere gentleman’s agreement, saying what is important is the conduct thereafter.

“Like I said to people, it is not the agreements that people make that are as important as the honour with which they make them. Some of the best agreements that have been made in contracts have created disputes that lawyers have gone to courts over and some things have been done without any formal documentation. Men and women just shake hands and give their words in honour, and say we will do this. So, this is important for us to understand.”

The governor who also took time to speak on his achievements explained that his administration made remarkable impact in various sub-sectors to achieve a budget that closed at 83 per cent performance.

He said his administration has made milestones in the areas of powers and electrifications, saying “We completed the public lighting system on 11 kilometre road network between Ikorodu road Jibowu , Murtala Muhammed way up to Oyingbo .”

Fashola said the public lighting system will help motorists and improve security at night , while affording the traders opportunity to trade far into the night and make more income.

He said the government also delivered on the Mainland Independent Power Plant making it the fourth built by the present administration in the state.

Other areas he list achievements were in the areas of housing, Healthcare, Judiciary and empowerment of the officer of the Nigeria Police Force, road infrastructure, among others.

Ribadu would be GEJ's successor whether we like it or not, he should be ready by 2019.
