Lagosboy:I am sorry and promise to respect your space from now on.I just wanted to report the efforts on a BB supporter. This would be my last post subject to the condition that I get get a response requring my response.: KnowAll (m) « on: Today at 12:16:16 PM » I use to be a BB supporter but after last weekend’s election, I have cooled my temper and posture, I would sit on the fence knowing all 3 men would be great for Nigeria. |
KnowAll:Welcome. As they say, better late than never.Together we shall breath FRESH AIR all over Nigeria. |
JIGHU:Heya, He has seen that this would be his worst performance since 2003 and is already crying.Anyway, he would makes people cry must surely cry. When he staged a coup, jailed people, abolish things like metroline, flogged people, kidnapped people and put them in crates, detained people without trial and executed people unjustly, he didnt know that the rich also cried. He is paying for his sins and would continue to do so. I expect to see him in 2015 to contest again so he can cry some more. |
10cirenoh:Don't tell me you don't know they have to be told in the native language what the symbol of Cpc is Don't also tell me that you did'nt know that the phrase "sai buhari" was adopted because they would not understand if it is said in english. Don't tell me that you did'nt also know that they don't know that you have to register before you can vote and elections are not won by adding "sai" to the name of your candidate. If the above is not evidence of illiteracy, then tell me what is. |
I hope they can hear.Infact, I would take the message to them. |
MeGaStReEt:I like the sound of that: Kobokobo.Similar to koboko, Buhari's favourite weapon |
Bawss1:Dont you know his name if Buhari AKA Abolisher, Jailer, Flogger, Canceller, Killer, and Kidnapper? Do you also mean that you didnt know that his only aim of contesting for presidency is to Abolish Nigeria? |
Orikinla:Do terrorists have conscience or you want to tell me that you dont know that a vote for Buhari is a vote for terrorism? |
maclatunji:You mean all these almajiris who form 99.9% of buhari supporters are generally well - off? Wow! if thats your definition of being well off,I would rather be poor.BTW, do you have anything close to any of the members of the business community or the nollywood stars who have endorsed GEJ? For your information(as if you dont know) most of us GEJ supporters are intellectuals who have acquired either so much cognate working experience or have studied to the extent that we dont look for jobs but JOBS LOOK FOR US. Thats why unlike the BB fans, we dont go to post GEJ posters on the streets ourselves.We pay abokis (most of them BB fans) to do it! |
SU2011:I am going to sue you for making me fall out my chair and break my waist while laughing. LWKMD |
Genbuhari3:Its like you still cannot solve the equation so let me help you to solve it: Buhari wins homebase KATSINA CPC wins homebase KATSINA and a few states in the North Sambo loses part of homebase KADUNA PDP win NATIONAL base NIGERIA Buhari and CPC only has support in some part of the North GEJ and PDP has national support Presidential Elections is a national elections Buhari and CPC only wins a few states in the North GEJ and PDP win more states spread nationally GEJ and PDP wins presidential election GEJ becomes president Buhari is appointed a commissioner in his hombase katsina |
agabaI23:Very compelling words!!!. |
[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=645300.msg8115139#msg8115139 date=1302673220]@muami: CPC and Buhari are not serious politicians, if what you posted is accurate.[/quote]I think it is accurate because I got it from THISDAY. I just saw now that even SR that reporterd the alliance is now saying that it has broken down.see the link below. http://saharareporters.com/news-page/ribadu-remains-presidential-race-alliance-talks-between-acn-and-cpc-have-broken-down |
A staunch opponent of President Goodluck Jonathan’s candidacy in this Saturday’s presidential election and member of the Northern Political Leaders Forum (NPFL), Alhaji Tanko Yakassai, Tuesday made a u-turn and asked Nigerians to vote for Jonathan. The repentant Yakassai, who was a special adviser to former President Shehu Shaghari in the Second Republic, also appealed to the electorate to shun ethnic and religious considerations while casting their votes for the president. He spoke when some influential Northern leaders led by former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Ghali Umar Na’Abba, paid the president a courtesy visit and to congratulate him on the success of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in last Saturday’s National Assembly elections. He noted that the results showed that Nigerians voted for individuals who have the ability to deliver. He said an analysis of last week’s elections showed that voters shunned ethnicity and religious sentiments and voted for those who could change their lives and asked them to continue with the voting pattern and return Jonathan to power as all would be the better for it. “From the results, it is clear that Nigerians voted individuals and not the parties regardless of their religious affiliation and ethnic background. I appeal to Nigerians to continue to do that so that we can build a great nation. “One thing I always observe is, if you go to the market, you find Hausas, Ibos, Yorubas and other ethnic groups interacting together. They never had a fight in any market in Nigeria on religious or ethnic basis. The common man in Nigeria is tolerant, if you find trouble along religious and ethnic lines, it is something organised from outside, not by the people.” According to him, Jonathan had already started by demonstrating sterling leadership qualities by refusing to manipulate elections which led to the credibility of the exercise and signposts what he was willing to do in future to put the nation back on track. He also had kind words for the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jegga, for showing leadership and ensuring that the image of Nigeria was redeemed through conducting credible elections last Saturday. “I am highly delighted at the outcome of the elections; it shows Nigerians can do what many people may not believe that Nigerians are capable of doing. We give our gratitude and appreciation to INEC under the leadership of Prof. Jega. Also, we appreciate the attitude of Mr. President because without his cooperation, we will not have free and fair elections,” Yakassai said. Also speaking, leader of the team, N’Abba, observed that the manner and result of last Saturday’s elections was a proof that Nigerians could live peacefully together, adding that, “The unity of Nigeria is non-negotiable; the people of Nigeria have shown that they can live together, He praised Jonathan for demonstrating a commitment to keep democracy working in this country, even as a candidate, noting that, “Hitherto votes never counted, now they do count and I believe this will go a long way in changing the psychology of Nigerians about democracy.” He counselled politicians to accept defeat when the outcome was not favourable to them as “in all elections, we will win some and lose some”, and predicted that, “on the balance, our party is leading and on Saturday, we expect that President Jonathan will win the presidential election”. |
ACN Angry as CPC Scuttles Alliance Talks By Chuks Okocha 13 Apr 2011 Three days to the presidential election, the leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and President Goodluck Jonathan, who is flying the flag of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), are expected to meet for a rapprochement. This is as the proposed alliance talks between ACN and the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) for Saturday’s election finally hit the rock Tuesday night. The planned meeting with Tinubu, which was at the instance of Jonathan, THISDAY learnt, is for fence-mending following the criticism that trailed Jonathan’s use of the word “rascals” believed to be aimed at ACN leaders during his presidential campaign rally in Ibadan, Oyo State. South-west, now largely controlled by ACN, is one of the highest voting zones in Nigeria. However, the possibility of an alliance between CPC and ACN ahead of the all-important election is fading. Both parties failed to resume negotiation Tuesday night despite a meeting called to that effect, forcing an angry reaction from ACN. Under the proposed arrangement, THISDAY learnt, ACN candidate, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, had agreed to step down for the CPC flag bearer, Major General Muhammadu Buhari[rtd], if the alliance talks had succeeded. ACN would then ask all its supporters to vote for CPC on Saturday. Even though Ribadu had accepted to make the “sacrifice”, fuelling rumours Tuesday night that he had finally withdrawn from the race, the talks have now come to a close. ACN now believes the time is too short to educate voters on the arrangement as all campaigns must, by law, stop Thursday. The original agreement was for the party that won more seats in the National Assembly to produce the presidential candidate, while the party that came second would produce the leadership of the parliament if the alliance succeeds in winning the presidential election. ACN has so far won 13 Senate seats, compared to CPC’s six, in addition to 52 House of Representatives seats, compared to the latter’s 35. However, it is believed that Buhari is still popular in the North-west despite the poor performance of his party. ACN, according to sources, was ready to concede the presidential ticket in the hope that Buhari could still deliver the North-west while the South-west is expected to go ACN’s way. The talks, which had been in fits and starts, finally crumbled Tuesday even though Buhari was said to have invited ACN back to the table “of his own volition”. Surprisingly, though, the CPC team did not turn up for the meeting, forcing angry reaction from the ACN hierarchy which termed Buhari as “unserious”. On Monday night in Abuja, at the first meeting between Buhari and former military president, General Ibrahim Babangida; former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar; former Inspector General of Police (IG), Alhaji M.D. Yusufu; former National Security Adviser (NSA), General Aliyu Gusau; and former Minister of Finance, Mallam Adamu Ciroma, they reportedly agreed on a working relationship. According to an insider at the meeting, the harmonisation of the grey areas between the Northern leaders was to usher in another meeting between Buhari and the leaders of the ACN led by Tinubu, who has turned the beautiful bride. According to the source before the collapse Tuesday night, “we are expecting a special press conference on Wednesday where the leaders of the CPC and ACN will unfold the new working agreement”, which he said might include the stepping down of Ribadu for Buhari. Asked why he did not attend the meeting of the G15 with CPC and ACN, one of the Northern leaders, Alhaji Tanko Yakassai, said an invitation was not extended to him, former Minister of Defence, Alhaji Shettima Mustapha, and Mogaji Dambatta. But THISDAY gathered that the organisers of the meeting did not invite them because of allegations that they might have “sold out” following their membership of the Federal Government Peace Committee to douse tension in the heat of campaigns in the North. The National Organising Secretary of PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, told THISDAY that the party was aware of the plot against President Jonathan by opposition parties and said: “Surely they will gather, but surely they will scatter.” |
Beaf:Exactly, Like Atiku, Like Buhari |
aisha2:So who supporter does Ribadu have that would now vote for Buhari? If Cpc like make dem form alliance with all the other parties. Na only almajiris for North go still vote for dem.South Westerners are not like almajiris who are COWed to act. |
Kobojunkie:I repected you on this forum until now.However, this post just made me realised that therebut a thin line of difference between you and the almajiris who support buhari. |
Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake |
The CPC is however challenging the result. It claimed that voting did not take place in the entire Buga-Karmo ward, but the presiding officers there turned in 10,000 votes - all valid and cast in favour of the PDP.Talk is cheap otherwise we know where results are challenged. I am not surprised though because these so called opposition parties especially CPC do not understand democratic workings. If they do, they should have gone to get a lawyer to file a petition at the tribunal and PROVE thier case there instead of making noise to heat up the polity.Fortunately, most Nigerians saw live the FREENESS AND FAIRNESS of the elections so as long as MAJORITY are pleased, then its fine. |
BetaThings:WOW! That means PDP is really not as part as people paint them to be. I decided to colour each promise that has been substantially acheived and I can see a very colourful achievement. |
Kobojunkie: Is that an admission that you guys have been making irrational arguments all along? If my memory has not failed me, it was BB guys on this thread who created that expectations by arguing that CPC was going to seep PDP away. Infact, they did this even on the day of the elections when they used results from one or two pulling units(inclduing aso rock) to prepare fantasy results of the NASS elections. You guys on NL can conitinue to now make excuses that you didnt expect much from CPC but obvioulsy CPC party leaders do not feel the same way, except you have not read the newspapers today. On the question of how CPC is all about BB selfish interest, its like you dont read what other BB guys post on this forum.Otherwise how else can one describe assertions such as the one below by opalu.Except my sense of reasoning has failed me (for which I would readily apologize), he is saying that ALL buhari supporters do not care about the other candidates of the party and all they care about is buhari because CPC was establish for Buhari and only Buhari. Is there another way to define selfishness? All the People supporting the BB Ticket do not care who won in what Senatorial or Rep so long as they are credible people. If they like they are CPC or ACN or any |
vedaxcool:You can insult me if you like but GEJ would still carry the day. BTW you mean you have still not realised that crowds do not lead to electoral victory. Do you know how many people in this crowd have voters register? Do you know how many of them even know that Buhari is no longer a corn but is now a sword? And do I also have to remind you that the Governor and deputy governor of Sokoto states has always supported GEJ in public. |
All the People supporting the BB Ticket do not care who won in what Senatorial or Rep so long as they are credible people. If they like they are CPC or ACN or any.,You know this is not true. We only started heaing this song after the results of the NASS CPC is built to make Buhari-Bakare sail to Asorock next SaturdayWe complain that OBJ 's influence on PDP is overbearing yet we are happy to say that CPC is all about Buhari's selfish interest. Hypocrisy! I think you ought to spend more time considering reality here. CPC is only 6 months old, YET it has been able to gain 40 seats in NASS all with relative UNKNOWNS on the ballot .That is a huge leap from ZERO seats before thisI entirely agree and would not dispute the reality that what CPC's performance is commendable being a young party. However, I still think CPC performance in the North falls short of the expectation of many making it difficult to expect a landslide for Buhari in the North even if one factors the dynamics of the presidential elections |
wiser now: Lagosboy: Gbenge 77:Take a look at some results showing the performance of PDP in the North in the NASS elections, compare it with that of CPC and tell me where the ominous signs lie and who needs to rig to win .

9ijaMan:I see why CPC lost woefully in the NASS elections.It is because their campaign strategists are inexperienced like you. If you are experieced, you would not be posting this sort to comments.Your man buhari has insignificant support outside of the NW and NE because he is seen as a sectional leader and you are busy promoting that fact.Do you think it takes only the vote of an average 'Kano, Zamfara, Kaduna, Kebbi, Jigawaetc ' to win presdency? Afterwall, Buhari won most of these places in 2003 and 2007 but still lost woefully. I pray you continue to post posts like this so that people from the SW would further realise just as you have said that the 'presidency' is all about sectionalism and as expected shift all the votes for ACN in the NASS to PDP on saturday. |
With the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) virtually sweeping the Nation-al Assembly polls in the North-western party of Nigeria, Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa State Monday described the development as[b] “a rejection of sectional calls, the manipulation of Northern sentiments and emotions and a vote for national stability”.[/b] Lamido, speaking in Dutse, the Jigawa State capital, while presenting the winners of the elections to the people, said that there was massive propaganda that he should be punished and embarrassed at the polls for refusing to toe what was presented as a Northern line in the PDP Primaries last January. “But as God would have it because I am his creature, the people of Jigawa believed me that I had done nothing to embarrass my religion or harm the interest of the North,” he said. Lamido had been derisively called “Bishop Lamido” after the PDP presidential primary in January for supporting a Christian (Jonathan) while the PDP has been reportedly presented in the largely Muslim North-west as a “Christian party” in a bid allegedly designed to whip up religious sympathy for the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC). “The will of God has prevailed and all the propaganda that I was stoned here and there or that I sacked an Imam have come to nothing,” he said, adding that it was a matter of duty for him to thank the entire people of Jigawa State for their political education, maturity and sophistication, for ignoring the sentiments and blackmail and standing by him on his position on zoning which he said was misconstrued to stand in the way of religious, ethnic and regional interests of the North. According to the governor, there must be no culture of hate because last Saturday’s elections had already proved wrong the assumption that the core north is anti-PDP. “What else can anyone say when Sokoto which is the home of Usman Dan Fodio, Kebbi the home of Abdullahi Fodio, Kano, Borno, Adamawa and other principalities which are the epitome of Islamic values have all gone the way of the PDP?” On his statement in September last year that no matter what, the PDP would win the election, the governor maintained he had been vindicated, adding that there had been tremendous efforts at internal healing within the PDP in the last few weeks and that the party is on the threshold of unleashing a new phenomenon of leadership in the country. Lamido, who did not elaborate on this, however, noted that the PDP was on a rebound because, according to him, no matter how pained, “people like Ibrahim Babangida, Atiku Abubakar and Aliyu Mohammed Gusau are constrained by their former positions to remain in the PDP”. |
Wadeoye: Buhari is popular and he has gone down on bended knees for the so callled 'corrupt' PDP leaders to help me in the North so that he would not be disgraced. See below: By JIDE AJANI, Editor Northern Operations, EMMANUEL AZIKEN & HENRY UMORUIn one breadth they say no cause for alarm, in another breadth they are raising teams to go and beg Northerners to support CPC. THEY SHALL SURELY FAIL because as seen in the NASS elections, Northerners are wiser now. SAI GEJ!!! |
