I'm happy that at least a man of public recognition has finally concurred to the fact Buhari has a hand in this boko haram issue,even if he is trying to cover up...,

Remember in GEJ's 1st and 2nd year of ruling Nigeria it was nothing but peace all the way but immediately Buhari sensed this he used boko haram as his prima facie tool in sabotaging the integrity of Goodluck's government and I see he has made a very big impact, he has managed to swerve the heart of our people against Goodluck even here on nairaland..,

May God Forgive you Buhari him alone knows your evil deeds..,

God will see you through this election GEJ

Peace

Na lie joor!! Haba.

PassingShot:
Did he really say this for real? Please tell me it's a joke!


@ OP,

PDP is sinking and they know it.

In OBJ's words: "Give FFK food, he will dance and even sing for you". Omo ale jati jati.

MuguliciousMUGU:
The truth is coming out, Buhari and boko haram have one thing in common, they like violence, buhari is a man known for wickedness, selfishness, hatred, violence, corruption and jails innocent nigerians on the assumption that they are corrupt, and he does not allow people to express their freedom of speech e.g fela...
For making innocent people to cry over the death of their loved ones killed by the boko haram sect, then he too would cry very well because he would lose the election, if he does not have handkerchief for his crying days to come, then i have some to give him.


Meanwhile GEJ till 2019

ayukdaboss:
See this man. It's a confirmed story from people who watched live. Ask around and get informed.

clevvermind:
I know that buhari's hand must be in the boko haram thing. He should really be probed.

THE 10 SINS OF PRESIDENT JONATHAN: WHY HE MUST NOT RETURN

1. Worsening insecurity
a. Over 13,000 innocent souls lost to Boko Haram insurgency since 2009.
b. Inability to fish out the sponsors of Boko Haram and wipe out the insurgents.
c. Inability to curb the spread of the Boko Haram menace. Initial operating base: Adamawa, Yobe, Borno and Abuja. New target states: Gombe, Bauchi, Kano. State(s) to follow: It could just be yours.
d. 276 Chibok girls yet to be rescued, 10 months and counting.
e. BBC: 1.5 million people displaced on account of growing insurgency in the North-East.
f. Hobnobbing with alleged sponsors of terrorism – Ali Modu Sheriff and his co-travellers.
g. Loss of territories to Boko Haram.
h. Kidnapping has become widespread across the federation.

2. Monumental corruption and nepotism
a. Missing $20bn from the coffers of NNPC yet to be explained.

m. Continued environmental degradation of the Niger-Delta through oil spill.
n. Continuing oil theft. Over 300,000 barrels of crude oil was stolen on daily basis in 2013.
o. Militants now contracted to secure national waterways.
p. Transparency international ranks Nigeria 136th out of 175 economies surveyed on corruption index. Put another way, Nigeria is the 39th most corrupt country in the world.
q. US State Department Global Human Rights Report: ‘Massive, widespread, and pervasive corruption affected all levels of government and the security forces… and officials frequently engaged in corrupt practices with impunity’


3. Political immaturity
a. Encouraged and practiced politics of divisiveness along ethno-religious lines both personally, by his aides and political party. Doyin Okupe, Reuben Abati, Femi Fani-Kayode, Olisa Metuh and pepper seller-talking Marilyn Ogah have desecrated the Presidency.
b. Completely polarized the country along same ethnic and religious lines. Most divisive President in the history of Nigeria.
c. Continues to fan embers of discord in the polity through unguarded comments.

Most of the former and serving Ministers are touts, characterless, spendthrifts or thugs: Musiliu Obanikoro (Defence), Jelili Adesiyan (Police), Labaran Maku (Information), Nyesom Wike (Education), Stella Oduah (Aviation), Diezani (Petroleum), Onyebuchi Chukwu (Health) and so on.
f. Policy somersaults now common-place (Rice, Motor Vehicles and so on)
g. Supposed Harvard-trained IMF agent and financial terrorist, Okonjo-iweala’s only economic solution for Nigeria is subsidy removal with attendant negative impact on general price level and cost of living.

d. ₦7.5bn spent on reconstruction of Abuja city gate.

7. Impoverishment of the masses

e. Increase in pump price of petrol leading to general increase in price level and cost of living.

Unemployment rate in selected oil producing economies: Venezuela: 5.9%, Saudi Arabia: 5.5%, UAE: 4.2%

8. Flagrant disregard for rule of law and intolerable impunity

b. 7 > 19: Ekiti State House of Assembly impeachment saga.
c. 5 > 27: Rivers State House of Assembly impeachment saga.
d. Police-National Assembly Saga.
e. Militarization of the electoral process and intimidation of the opposition.
f. Nigerian Police and DSS now effectively Military wing of the PDP.
g. Number of jail breaks in the current administration is unprecedented (Kogi, Niger, Ekiti and DSS Headquarters in Abuja).

9. Litany of failed 2011 campaign promises
a. Constant power supply- still a pipe dream 6 years in the saddle and 16 year of PDP rule.
b. Completion of Second Niger Bridge - where will this happen?
c. Transformation of the economy – optical illusion.
d. Creation of 1.5million jobs in 2 years – imaginary vision.
e. Fertilizer Blending plants in the Niger Delta – mere fantasy.
f. Ilesa water scheme – complete delusion.
g. Ife/Ijesa Dam – ignis fatuus.
h. Promise to make solid minerals key export earner for Nigeria – phantasm.
i. Resuscitation of collapsed industries in Kano – hallucination.
j. Exploration of coal deposits in Benue and Kogi – mirage.
k. Establishment of petrochemical plant in Koko FTZ in Delta State – chimera.
l. Revival of mining activities in Plateau State – yet to happen.
m. Rehabilitation of ailing industries in Aba – when?
n. Dualization of Enugu-Abakaliki Federal High-Way – Mirage?
o. Exploitation of bitumen deposits in Ondo State.
p. Completion of Shonga irrigation project in Kwara State – which year?
q. Dredging of River Niger – which decade?
r. Dualization of Abuja-Abaji-Lokoja High-way – which century?
s. Government refineries yet to be sold as promised in the aftermath of fuel strike in 2012 – which millennium?

10. Catalogue of Presidential blunders:
a. Question: Where is the missing $20bn? Jonathan: America will Know, it is their money.
b. Question: Corruption in Nigeria. Jonathan: There is no corruption but mere stealing in Nigeria.
c. Question: Assets declaration. Jonathan: I don’t give a damn
d. October 2011: ‘We are responsible for Independence Day bombing’ – MEND.
‘MEND is not responsible for the Abuja bombing; I know my people’ – Jonathan.
Fast-forward January 2015: ‘MEND was paid to assassinate me during Independence Day bombing’ – Jonathan.
e. World Bank Report: Nigeria is among the 5 poorest nations in the world. Jonathan: “If you talk about ownership of private jets, Nigeria will be among the first 10 countries, yet they are saying that Nigeria is among the five poorest countries…Nigeria’s problem is not poverty but redistribution of wealth.
f. 7-January-2015: 11 people killed in France, the whole nation is thrown into mourning. 14-April-2014: over 100 killed in Nyanya Bomb Blast. GEJ goes dancing at Kano campaign rally a day after.
g. Presidency’s first reaction to Chibok girls’ abduction: ‘It is a propaganda’. Took the President three weeks to believe the abduction happened.

P.S.
What Nigerians need is GOOD GOVERNANCE which entails social security, adequate infrastructure, job creation, food availability, affordable healthcare, socio-political harmony etc. What has ethnicity or faith got to do with it? All that matters is the competence to do the job and nothing more. If you have a private business, will you hire an incompetent salesman from your hometown or of same faith and run the risk of going bankrupt?
Please vote wisely come February 2015. We need a change. Nigeria cannot continue like this.
Long live Nigeria.

Louislewis:
Every right thinking man need not to be told. Look at his statement as quoted below...

[size=24pt]Quote from Buhari..

“Sharia should be introduced in full across Nigeria…I will continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment to the Sharia movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria…God willing, we will not stop the agitation for the total implementation of the Sharia in this country… It is a legal responsibility which God has given us.” [/size]
