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.

Jonathan has proven he is not OBJ’s lackey hence the loss of Bankole and Iyabo, I would also expect him not to give Iyabo any Ministerial post if there are better and more qualified Nigerians that can do the job.

Jonathan  has proven that a semblance of a free and fair election is possible although we are not 100% happy with the efforts of last Saturday, we know it is a dramatic improvement on previous elections, I would personally rate it about 55% overall with a better % levels is some zones than others.

If the Presidential elections was the first elections held, without a shadow of doubt, Team BB would have done some damage but as it stands today,  PDP I am afraid would carry the day. BB's teeming fans need to take heart and solace,  it is not a do or die after all and none of the Presidential Candidate want and wish to end up like “Gbago”

Candidate of the CPC in the Saturday Presidential elections was addressing a world press conference a while ago in Abuja and mid way into his moving speech he broke into tears, the crowd erupted into wailing and tears, it was a sight to behold
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.

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.

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!

AN APPEAL TO NIGERIANS

GOODLUCK JONATHAN lost support from (king-makers) Ciroma, IBB, Atiku and their fellow corrupt men because he refused to signed an agreement on who becomes Nigeria's President in 2015. GEJ said: "What I'm not comfortable with is the rationale behind 15 of us sitting here and deciding who becomes president in 2015. I will want Nigerians to choose their president in 2015".

Even when we were not there GEJ is still fighting for a free and fair process. He disappointed OBJ and BANKOLE because of his transparency and goodwill towards Nigeria.

Now, Buhari has been begging the same Ciroma, IBB, Atiku, Tinubu and Mohammed Abacha for help to win. He even promised to make Ribadu president in 2015 if he steps down for him. They are already forcing Fake Bakare to sign his resignation letter. Less than 10 men appointing 2015 president; is this not corruption in the highest order?

Nigerians, come out enmass and call your neighbors on Saturday so that we can kill this evil cabal forever. Vote GOODLUCK JONATHAN
Very compelling words!!!.

PoliticsZoning Advocates Ignore Buhari And Campaign For Jonathan by muami(op): 6:23am On Apr 13, 2011
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.”

PoliticsRe: Opposition Challenges PDP's Win In Nasarawa by muami(m): 5:32pm On Apr 12, 2011
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.

CPC agents in the area alleged that one Wasan Kudi, stated that the deputy chairman of PDP in Toto took polling officers to his residence and had them submit the ballot papers for him to thumbprint the said 10,000 votes in favour of his party.
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.

(iv) Exploration and Production of Petroleum

(v) Education

(vi) Macro-economic policies - particularly, Exchange rate management etc.

(vii) Supply and Distribution of Petroleum Products

(viii) The Debt Issue

(ix) Corruption, Drugs, organised fraud called 419 activities, and crimes leading to loss of lives, properties and investment.

(x) Infrastructure - Water Supply, Energy, Telecommunication, Ports, Airways, National Shipping, Nigerian Railways, etc.

(xi) Resuscitation of the Manufacturing Industries

(xii) Job creation, and creation of conducive environment for investment

(xiii) Poverty alleviation

(xiv) Housing - both

* Civilian Housing Programmes; and

* Barrack Refurbishment and New Construction for the Armed Forces and the Police


(xv) ECOMOG

(xvi) Health Services

In pursuit of these priorities, I have worked out, measures which must be implemented within the first six months.

Details of the focus and measures of this administration on these and other matters, will be announced from time to time. I shall quickly ascertain the true state of our finances and the economy and shall let the nation know. In the light of resources available, I shall concentrate on those issues that can bring urgent beneficial relief to our people.
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.

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.

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 this
I 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

The presidential election is just 4 days away, all noise making Pro-GEJ should start prepping up for the exit of the pay master. We have just concluded an election where brothers contested against brothers. To the average Kano, Zamfara, Kaduna, Kebbi, Jigawa etc indegine the candidates were from their own fold. THe presidential election is definitely a different ball game.
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.
PoliticsNass Polls: Northerners Voted Against (buhari) Sectionalism by muami(op): 8:31am On Apr 12, 2011
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 did not contest last saturday - Buhari's election is this coming saturday - wait and see. I am only hoping you will be able to come here and tell me that GEJ is more popular than Buhari in the north after Saturday's election.


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.

ABUJA—NORTHERN political leaders were, yesterday, rallying round Major General Muhammadu Buhari the presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, with the prospect of lifting his fortunes during the weekend presidential election.

Among the leaders who met Buhari in Abuja were two former heads of state, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida and Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar as well as erstwhile Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.

Buhari’s spokesman, Yinka Odumakin, reacting to the development told Vanguard that the meeting with the top leaders meant that “Buhari was not alone on the issue of changing the PDP government.” The meeting was also confirmed by a top aide of Atiku Abubakar who preferred to remain anonymous because of the unusual secrecy that shrouded it.

Specifically, the CPC and the NPLF have raised teams to visit the North West states of Kano, Sokoto, Jigawa and Kebbi, areas the party was reported to have underperformed during the National Assembly polls.

In 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.
