You don't expect me to vote for a president who says stealing is not corruption.

You don't expect me to vote for a president who supervises the kidnapping of more than 200 girls without taking any action. Because if my sister happens to be among those innocent girls I won't be happy.

You don't expect me to vote for a president who supervises the killing of more than 16 graduates in the last immigration exams without taking any action to compensate their families. Because if my love one happens to be among those innocent graduates I won't be happy.


You don't expect me to vote for a president who grants amnesty and presidential pardons to those corrupt public office holders who has loot our country dry.

You don't expect me vote for a president who has not done anything meaningful for the last six years.

My conscience won't just permit me to vote for Jonathan who has a six years opportunity to create a change but went viral into cluelessness.

The time for change is now

Vote BUHARI for President

God Bless Nigeria
God Bless Niger-Delta

Losers in making. Even if GEJ is incompetent, he is still better than a fanatic that wishes to islamize us. As the deputy Governor of Bornu said, if any northerner votes for PDP he is a disgrace, I also said that if any body from the east ,south and middle belts vote for APC then he is a slave to the born to rule bigots.

Re: Breaking News Amaechi Becomes Buhari's Running Mate by PassingShot(m): 5:40pm On Dec 12, 2014
We all know Buhari/Fashola is the best combo but we equally know that PDP were waiting to feast on it by painting it with religion coloration.

So, the other sensible option is Buhari/Amaechi. I trust Tinubu, Oyegun and other leaders to work to ensure that PDP don't get enough votes in the SW. And the fact that we Yorubas are completely tired of GEJ's cluelessness and incompetence is enough to vote for Buhari.

Given the situation, this ticket is the best that APC could use to defeat PDP.
Re: Breaking News Amaechi Becomes Buhari's Running Mate by Schematics: 5:40pm On Dec 12, 2014
Well on a side note Amechi deserve the slot haven spent all the Rivers allocation on Buhari and even borrowed recently for that purpose..

Proof please!
TheCable understands that Kwankwaso has
been persuaded to step down for Buhari,
which he agreed, but will still put up an
appearance without putting up a fight at the
convention.
Atiku, on this part, is basing his calculations
on the fact that APC governors control only
14 states and their influence in the remaining
22 states is not strong.
TheCable understands that Atiku has zeroed
in on delegates from 16 states which they
consider winnable: Adamawa, Sokoto, Kebbi,
Niger, Benue, Plateau, Bauchi, Jigawa,
Taraba, Yobe, Delta, Abia, Ebonyi, Enugu, Ekiti
and Ondo ─ as well as the FCT.
In Atiku’s camp, the calculation is to deal
directly with the delegates, even from states
controlled by pro-Buhari governors.
With Atiku’s heavy war chest, the APC
hierarchy had become jittery about the high
possibility of his victory.
As a counterforce, Amaechi ─ who is the
biggest financial backer of Buhari and is
heavily favoured to pick the vice-presidential
slot ─ flew in a heavy “war chest” to the pro-
Buhari camp in Lagos on Wednesday
morning, sources told TheCable.
The strategy in the pro-Buhari camp is to
match Atiku naira-for-naira and dollar-for-
dollar.

“Atiku cannot just come in and pick the ticket
after all the hard work we did breaking up the
PDP and setting up the APC,” a southern
governor told TheCable on phone.

Re: Breaking News Amaechi Becomes Buhari's Running Mate by Flets: 5:50pm On Dec 12, 2014
Hahahaha

Buhari will not get a single SS/ SE state. MB is in the bag for PDP/ GEJ. SW is up for grab and am certain nobody wants a terrorist for president. Besides, enough of the Tinubu overbearing influence in the SW.

Tinubu just sold the SW to his northern masters.

Try harder. The cable didn't quote anyone and that statement is unverifiabble.
Re: Breaking News Amaechi Becomes Buhari's Running Mate by Leo001(m): 6:10pm On Dec 12, 2014
My permutation! If its true, Tinubu will sale the south west vote to secure Lagos, He can afford to lose Lagos His cow milk to PDP. Knowing too well that Amechi will not be able to deliver south south. How can south south scarifies first position to second position! Tinubu will be up to something, If He allow south south to produce VP to Buhari.
