Simply put, He cannot have his way all the time. Do you think it iڪ his wish? Or you think he never tried?

Jonathan is fighting a lost battle. The earlier he realizes that the better for him.

Its a fair judgement.

I can't fathom why the topshot lawyers representing PDP should make such a grave error.
Its elementary law that before you serve through substituted means, you should obtain the leave of court. And we are even talking about service outside jurisdiction which is governed by the SCPA!

Non-service is very fatal as it even affects the court's jurisdiction to try the matter.
The learned silks should have known this.
I'm very, very surprised.

So many ignoramuses prowling nairaland. The action failed simply because of procedural error on the part of the plaintiff's counsels and not because the case has no "quantum meruit"

Since Buhari has become APC candidate, If I were Jonathan (God forbid), I wouldn't even bother contesting.

Instead, I would seek a refund of the money I used to buy PDP presidential form and use it to repair prisons across the country and renovate it to my taste.

That is the only way he and his gang of thieves can enjoy life after his tenure, in prison.

I write this because of millions of Nigerians who are below 30 and who constitute a significant chunk of our voting population.

This is the ICT generation that is largely ignorant about the events of the Buhari era (1983-85) and so can be misinformed and misled by needless propaganda. I have sat with many in the under-30 bracket and those slightly above who only have faint recollections of the Buhari era and the level of ignorance about that era is amazing.

Before being MILITARY Head of State, Buhari had been Governor of one of the Northern States (under Obasanjo’s Military government) as well as Minister for Petroleum. He later served as Chairman of PTF under Abacha. Please consider the following unassailable facts:

- He birthed and supervised the establishment of our existing refineries.

- There was no religious crisis while he was Head of State. It started under his successor IBB!

- In his time as Head of State he reduced inflation from 23% to 4%, by fiscal discipline and a homegrown economic team (not achieved under any other era, even military).

- JJ Rawlings of Ghana took over 2 years before him, and killed all the corrupt leaders, while Buhari only sentenced the corrupt leaders here to prison.

- Under his watch as PTF Chairman, what he did in road construction in that short period hasn't been matched by 12 years of the PDP.

- Hospitals and universities around the country never witnessed as much benefits as they got from the PTF from any government after or before his time.

- Despite serving in senior capacity in the oil sector, first as Minister for Petroleum and then Petroleum Trust Fund, Buhari has no petrol station,much less a rig, refinery or an oil block like so many of our leaders.

- He could have retired into nauseating opulence like an IBB or Danjuma or even OBJ but didn't.

- Instead of hobnobbing with the high and mighty, he has cast his lot with the ordinary man most of who follow him out of hope and belief in his values.People who know him have said of him... "All I need from Buhari is his word, I can take it to the bank".

- He is the only politician in the North today who fills rallies without renting a crowd. The Kaduna rally of 2nd March is eloquent proof.

- He refused to collect an allowance while serving as Chairman of the PTF because he said since he was already drawing a pension from government, his conscience would not allow him to draw another salary from the purse of the same government.

- He is the only former head of state that does not own property or land in Abuja.

- Every attempt to rubbish him through probes in time past ended up vindicating him! The man who was asked by OBJ to take over the running of PTF before it was scrapped with the aim of probing and indicting Buhari, was the one who ended up being prosecuted
for misappropriating $100m of PTF funds! Buhari again, was vindicated

- He has OPENLY challenged those who accuse him of religious fundamentalism to come out and show proof. No one has till today, taken up the challenge.His personal driver of many years is a Christian from Plateau State.

- His government initiated the War Against Indiscipline that has made environmental cleanliness, queuing up, not urinating by the roadside etc features of our national life even till today Does it then surprise you why corrupt people would be spreading such heinous rumors about Buhari?

He is a threat to them and they know what he is capable of doing to corruption and corrupt people when he comes into office! So shine your eyes and make the right decision. If honesty and probity are the things you want for Nigeria ,now is the time to choose right. When you cast your vote for the BUHARI, you would have cast one vote for a honest men.

Now that you know better, will you please educate another person BY FORWARDING THIS TO AS MANY AS YOU CAN? THIS IS MORE THAN A CAMPAIGN.IT'S JUST THE TRUTH!!!

Really I'm not interested in Nigeria politics because all Nigerian Politicians are thieves. Don't make the mistake that any of them is different. That is why i laugh at people's ignorance who always use this space to say that Buhari is the change we need. Didn't all you fools say the same thing when GEJ became the President? When will you easily appeased bunch learn your lessons? I say if Buhari (though he may not likely win because of some impediments in our electoral law) wins the election, nothing drastic will happen in our economic life. Their won't be a monumental increase in jobs and there won't be a drastic reduction in corruption as people are wont to say. For me, i have learnt my lessons overtime and is not always surprise to see a purported messiah towing the same line of his predecessor. Nigeria politicians are the same! Don't be deceived they are different.

YOU HAVE COLLECTED YOUR OWN BAG OF MONEY RIGHT? OGA GO SIT DOWN IN UR VILLAGE AND SPEND IT WHEN YOU ARE DONE YOU COME BACK TO THE CITY AND BEGIN ANOTHER SCAMMING.

Yet people would still say Jonathan interfere in court cases. When will some Nigerians for political reasons stop speaking from both sides of the mouth?
