On three previous occasions 2003,2007 and 2011 Buhari contested for the presidency of these country and was rejected by the southern electorates including our SW brothers. Most noteworthy was the number of votes he got in 2003 in the sw when he contested against obasanjo. My question now is why did the sw people reject Buhari in 2003 when the had the very opportunity of 'ending' corruption in 2003?If they know Buhari had all the qualities they now ascribe to him why then did they reject him for a corruption personified obasanjo?

Good question sir...

Maybe because we have seen the worst case in GEJ and nobody will want to experience another 4years of useless and vague services.

The moment Nigerians realized that GEJ/PDP has failed in every parameter with which good governance is measured.

Because the SW will rather vote their own.

since GEJ squandered all the goodwill he had in 2011 and expanded the cabal that has been punishing Nigerians for ages

If I can get 500likes, I will vote for BUHARI in 2015 election

They don't know who he is then.
Nobody know Jonathan can't rule a class not to talk of a country.

A lot of people Ve been brainwashed that he is a fanatic

Because they have merged with the north which bullies and threatens to destroy them.

You voted Yar'adua in 2007 because he bullied and threatened you?

focus on your 2003, while i focus on 2011. we know how PDP has been 'winning' elections since time immemorial. Infact it was so bad that Yar'adua had to admit that the 2007 edition was very flawed and moved towards reform of the electoral process.

GMB is contesting against GEJ not OBJ in 2015

The big SURGE in Buhari's popularity and electability started AFTER it became VERY CLEAR, even to many who voted for GEJ in 2011, that it is very UNPATRIOTIC, and in fact DANGEROUS, to continue to entrust the collective destiny of our great nation in the hands of such a clueless person who clearly lacks the leadership drive, passion and the MORAL CLARITY to tackle the twin monsters of corruption and insecurity that are destroying our country!.

first of all don't take the loud noise and opinion of just 100 monikers on nairaland here that belongs to maybe just 10 people as the general stand of yorubas on buhari. Secondly,there is no way buhari can win in the south west except maybe it is rigged for him by apc governors. Thirdly pdp still remains the party of the yoruba majority,but yorubas are very enlightened and mature when it comes to elections,they have the capacity to vote for different parties at each level in a particular election. The problem pdp has always had in the south west is candidate and that can be seen in the case of ekiti and osun. Anytime pdp presents a popular candidate acceptable to the yoruba man ,they vote enmasse for pdp eg ekiti. In the case of osun,many osun indigenes are already fed up of apc but because the candidate presented by pdp is not popular they decided to vote for apc and even despite that pdp was still able to pull over 200,000 votes. apc is currently facing a battle of survival in the south west ,the party is hugely divided and many key figures have left, there is no way apc won't drop one or 2 more states in the south west. In the case of buhari, forget the fools shouting buhari name here on nairaland all day,the points against buhari is more than the points in his advantage. I can tell u that buhari is not accepted to the majority of yorubas .a candidate like atiku would have given pdp serious problems with a vice in the mould of oshiomole but buhari and osinbajo ticket is just as if apc leaders are been paid to lose that elections .

listen again ''we all know how PDP has been winning elections since time immemoria'' incase you don't know, it's by rigging

Also was a yoruba man on the ticket when GEJ won all yoruba states bar Osun in 2011?

I've never voted OBJ and i know plenty yorubas who didn't. Yorubas were the most antagonistic critics he had. so much so that an Igbo man had to come to his defence

Ajuluchukwu to Afenifere: Support Obasanjo or There'll be Crisis

PDP Northeast endorses Obasanjo-Atiku ticket
>From Chukwudi Nwabuko in Abuja and Ademola Adeyemo in Ibadan
-------------------------------------------------------------

A leader of Ohaneze, a pan-Igbo group, Chief M.C.K. Ajuluchukwu,
yesterday warned the leaders of Afenifere against withholding its
support for President Olusegun Obasanjo's re-election in 2003, saying
Nigeria may face serious post-election crisis if Obasanjo was denied a
second term.

And in Abuja, the Northeast zone of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
endorsed the Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Obasanjo's running mate
in 2003.

Ajuluchukwu, who spoke yesterday in Ibadan at the Conference Centre of
the University of Ibadan, said the present democratic experience may be
truncated if Nigerians failed to re-elect Obasanjo as president in 2003.

He said that from all indications, PDP would re-nominate Obasanjo for
2003 elections.

The elder statesman, however, pleaded with Yorubas to support Obasanjo
for the second term in office in order to forestall the post-election
crisis.

Said he: "Afenifere is the key to stability of our democracy. It seems
the Afenifere is not supporting Obasanjo candidacy for the 2003
election. Afenifere has the key to stability because they control the
masses, you should not make mistake about this.

"Afenifere are supporting the OPC, the Yoruba Council of Elders (YCE).
But I don't want Yoruba to go into opposition because Yoruba have been
in the opposition since the First Republic, they only managed to be in
government since 1999," he said.

Lamenting the lukewarm attitude of Afenifere leadership to the
re-election of Obasanjo, the Ohanaeze leader said even Professor Bolaji
Akinyemi vehemently kicked against it.

"I told Akinyemi on several occasions that Afenifere must support
Obasanjo's second term bid. If Yoruba miss the Presidency in 2003, it
will take a long time before Yoruba will get there again," he said.

Ajuluchukwu, however, warned Afenifere against dividing Yorubaland: "I
have asked Adesanya to invite Chief Akinjide and others and re-unite
Yorubas. It can be easily done because Yoruba have been used to unity
since Awolowo era," he said.

The frontline politician also said that the pan-Yoruba organisation
should justify its support for Obasanjo by referring to Chief Bola Ige
and Chief Adesanya's daughter's involvement in Obasanjo's
administration: "Nigeria may experience post-election crisis if Obasanjo
did not win. If the APP present Igbo man as their presidential
candidate, the unity that exists among the southerners would be broken,"
he said.

According to him, the Hausa-Fulani want to control the Igbo man and that
the situation may brew crisis at the national level.

He also said that Nigeria was not yet a democratic nation until a
national conference was convened.

"We are only a civilian rule, Nigeria will not enjoy the dividend of
democracy until we convene a national conference," he said.

He also disclosed that Obasanjo was in support of the national
conference and four zones of the country supported the national
conference, "very soon, the other two zones will support the conference
for that confab is not against them".''

pls go and sample the opinion of people in the street and you will start to cry for GEJ.

GEJ is in deep sh1t! My own be say Jega shouldn't play with this electionooo!

OP, please read the book titled "THE SLAVEMASTERS AND THEIR SLAVES ". That's the only way you can get answers to how an unelectable person overnight became a purported saviour.

It's of recent I understood that slaves would always be loyal to their masters no matter what.

but you were happy slaves to them in 1979, 1983. then slaves to the 'slaves' in 1999, 2003. then went back to being slaves to the original slave owners in 2007 before choosing different slave masters in 2011 and trying to tighten their noose around your necks in 2015.

Keep on throwing up the ethnic rubbish then turn around to complain when you get the backlash

I don't want to assume that the rants of a few paid hacks on social media represents the opinion of majority of Yorubas. I will reserve my comments till after the elections in 2015...

Notwithstanding, I will not fail to point out the fact that Yorubas are generally known for their Herd Mentality especially when it comes to politics. That's why any political party can emerge and sweep out the entire region...
