And they say ACN can not win in the North.

The fact that so many people showed up without PDPlike presidential trappings and financial inducements means a lot, it means people all over the country are ready for a change,

10cirenoh:
HE Cannot scroe 25% in 24 states except if he rigs, if you think otherwise, then show us how and where he's likely going to get the 25% votes.

One more thing, NW and NC alone has most of the votes and that part belongs to Buhari hands down.

akings100:
GEJ may not win by simple majority thereby giving room for a re-run. This may now open a alliance talk with ACN which may now eliminate GEJ and his PDP. The summary is anything can open. Let us pray for free and credible election.

It would be even better in Isoko, sir. Thanks for your kind effort, especially with the fact that Hausa is generally not understood in Delta state.

I strongly suspect though, that regardless of language, the man would need an interpreter wherever he goes, cos z[b]is camfaign would vi a serrible sin in zi sous sous![/b]
Thanks again.

Bafarawa recalled that the last time, Tinubu gave another excuse for the alliance’s failure, “and this time, he is giving another excuse. He is the man behind the failure of the merger because of his selfish interests.”

He wondered why Tinubu was blaming the PDP, “when the role he played was clear to every person,” asking, “what role did PDP play in the failure of the talks? But his (Tinubu’s) handwriting is all over the place.

Bafarawa continued: “Buhari told us that he (Tinubu) wanted to be his running mate but he refused because that will amount to having a Muslim/Muslim ticket and it won’t work. And Tinubu has not refuted what Buhari said.
“His selfish interest brought about the failure of the merger talks. He killed the alliance talks; he should not blame anybody, as far as I am concerned.”

@chyz,
who are the igbos? i am from imo state and jonathan will never ever see my vote. he is the storm on the ways of igbo presidency. he is standing between us and our opportunity to rule nigeria.
don't u know that if this desperate jonathan respected the zoning arrangements of pdp, 2015 wld have been for the igbos?
how on earth are u thinking an ijaw man who has added ebele, azikiwe and is even planing to add ojukwu to his name will finish and then another ojukwu or azikiwe will take over?
meanwhile, 12 yrs of pdp leadership has done more harm than good to nigeria and nigerians. who would believe that in 12 yrs, pdp refused to give us steady power supply?
shame.
IN BUHARI/BAKARE, WE HAVE MEN WITH VISSION AND NOT LEAKING MOUTHS OF PDP.

Jarus:
I see the whole of Kaduna standing still for Buhari on this day, if what my friends in Kaduna are telling me are anything to go by.
I learnt teh atmosphere is extremely charged for Buhari.

In fact, [size=15pt]one of my corper-friends,[/size] who did registration in Sambo's ward said even in the VP's ward, Buhari was going to win.

Gbawe:
Some of you guys are funny with what you credit to GEJ. If not for Nigeria , where mediocrity is promoted far above its station by self-serving godfathers, Ribadu and GEJ do not belong in the same statement as far as their record in public office go. It is ridiculous for anyone to think Ribadu's ambition is[size=20pt] limited [/size] to playing decoy for an "underwhelming" chap.

dayokanu:
Why cant the 99% Ibo population of Lagos just pick one of them and support in the governorship election.

How come Christians in the SW voted en masse for MKO abiola on a Muslim-Muslim ticket despite rumors being peddled that he is anti Christian and even sunk a ship load of bibles

dayokanu:
Since when did votes of non Yorubas count in SW? The SW have always had votes in favour of Yoruba supported candidates regardless of what other trbes living in the SW feel

FYI In 2007 a party presented an Ibo man for Governorship seat in Lagos and the 99% Ibo population of Lagos couldnt even make him top 5 in the result

seanet02:
i am very happy they did not choose an eastern guy, the south west is for ACN, the north is between Ribadu and buhari, GEJ gets south east and south south,middle belt between Ribadu, GEJ and buhari. Since APGA has already endorsed GEJ and knowing our ibo brothers to always be in support of Any Government In Power, it makes no sense to pick an ibo dude since he is not going to add to the votes. Ribadu wins this no qualms

HAH:
BB all the way

you will be shock this time, see the distribution from polls conducted

SS 7 Million voters= GEJ 75%, Buhari,10% Ribadu 10% and others 5% Who dash buhari 10% for SS? as for ribadu yes  because of ACN in edo but buhari  -- NO WAY

SE 7 Million voters= GEJ 50%, Buhari,25%, Ribadu 20% and others 5% Buhari 25% in SE? Where will he get it from? Buhari will not get 25% of the votes in any SS or SE state. This means that in the remaining 25 states he must get at least 25% in 24 states.

SW 15 Million voters= GEJ 30% Buhari 30%,Ribadu 30% and Others 10% --- I cant say for this one
NE 8 million voters= GEJ 20% Buhari 70% Ribadu 5% others 5 %-------GEJ will make atleast 40% here
NC 8 Million voters= GEJ 30% Buhari 40% Ribadu 20% others 10%  ------ GEJ defintely will get 60% of the votes here.
NW 18 Million Voters GEJ 5% Buhari 85% Ribadu 5% Other 5%--------- GEJ 5%? . GEJ will defintely get 25% of the votes here.

BUhari/Bakare will surely win

Barkono:
I add my BB pin and twitter page to the two honest men (BB). I also add a true confession:


Testimony By a Nigerian on Why They Didn't vote Buhari before
.In 2011, GMB is not alone. He's supported by a team of volunteers online and offline who never voted for him before. We didn't vote for him, because we didn't know. We didn't know that he supervised and birthed our only existing refineries.Lies We didn't know that what he did in road construction while in the PTF hasn't been matched by 12yrs of the PDP, even though we claimed they were lopsided. Crap.  claim ke? was it not lopsided? Price of petrol was moved from 3 naira to 11 naira per litre, the added 8 naira went to PTF. so for every litre sold within the country PTF was getting over 70%,now calculate the number of litres comsumed every day to have an idea of how much PTF was getting? Now list the PTF projects in the south to justify this 4 years of injustice?  We didn't know that in his time as head of state he reduced inflation from 23% to 4% Was it by using soldiers to  force people to sell  commodities far below their cost price? What economic prinicple is that called , and for how long could that have been sustained?   , by fiscal discipline and a homegrown economic team (not achieved under any other era, even military). We didn't know that there was no religious crisis while he led.
We didn't know that JJ Rawlings of Ghana took over 2yrs before him, and killed all the corrupt leaders, while GMB merely gave his own, long-term jail sentences. We didn't know that the hospitals and universities around the country never witnessed as much benefits they got from the PTF from any government after or before his time. We did not know, that this man haven been in all the oil sectors in Nigeria, has no petrol station, much less a refinery or an oil rig like so many of our leaders. We never voted him, because we did not know.
But now we know, We know that he has followership in the north that money can't buy.Wrong his followership in the north was actually bought with money, yes PTF money, those talakawas thought PTF was Buhari's pet project that he was financing from his pocket . This he did at the expense of other regions. The bulk of PTF funds was coming from the SW since the region is undisputedly the hisghest consumer of petroleum products. Aside Kaduna with comparably high consumption rate, is it the pockets of products consumed in other NW states that warranted the lopsided projects? Buhari's own excuse was that they wanted to concentrated more on certain regions first and move to others later, then my question would be for how long? PTF lasted for four years .   We know that those who follow him are poor, and follow him out of hope and belief in his values. I have met old men who know him, who have said, "All I need from Buhari is his word, I can take it to the bank". Now we know that here is someone that has been in everything to make him a Dan-Something, but didn't take the road.

We feared he was an Islamic fundamentalist, but he challenged us to provide any human being who can point at anything he did to show the same. Now we know, that it's about the values, The only former head of state that does not own a house in Abuja, Shine your eyes o!, This is my take, What is yours?

~Bluetooth:
Then how is he expecting to win ?

The home region of both President Goodluck Jonathan and Minister of Petroleum Resources Diezani Allison-Madueke grabbed 17 new management staff positions out of the 38 on offer.

fstranger3:
One day the Oil will finish, lets see how SS is going to survive

jason123:
With what GEJ said, he was referring to all the yorubas unknowningly, why? The reason is, if you call their elected leaders rascals, it means you were calling the electorates (yorubas) rascals. Taking into account that all PDP members in the SW are thieves, it only fair for the SW to be angry, isn't it?

By the way, the way these Ijaws are insulting the SW is unfair because it was the SW that put him there. It was the SW that stood with him when Ojukwu and the SE was supporting IBB. It was the SW that STOOD with him when other people were talking about removing him. Now he wants to bite the hands that fed him. It is not done that way.

wesley80:
If u say Gej was referring to "Yoruba Leaders" when he made his comment abt Rascals, who was he seeking to replace them with? Igbo leaders? Bros use your head na!

Gbawe:
I don't see how you can prove this unless you can argue effectively that Tinubu used the word fisherman as an ethnic slur on Jonathan's region of origin. as far as I know ridiculing fishermen and what they trade in (fish) is common worldwide . I can call a foul-mouthed woman a "fish wife" .
If I offhandedly call a woman from the riverine area of Nigeria a fishwife because of a foul-mouthed tirade , am I then guilty of ethnic intolera[b][/b]nce? Must the word Fisherman never be used in the same sentence as GEJ because Mr. President is from a riverine region?

Tinubu described the President as a drunk fisherman whose boat is about to capsize.

bermuda1:
You are better off putting this letter in an envelope

10cirenoh:
Don't mind that foool of a girl oo, there was money involved, the chief thief GEJ sprayed money, just read the BBC link that was posted, it was written there. do you think all the people that came from the 6 ND states came because of GEJ's face? they came because they must have been promised money on arrival (pdp members). just read the news.
