PDP is resorting to all sorts of frauds and deceits as a crushing electoral defeats stares them and their clueless candidate in the face:


1. The Onitsha-born Igbo guy, Jideofor Adibe, who spewed this trash has never hidden his dislike and fear for a Buhari presidency.

2. As someone not comfortable with the presidency of Buhari, Ojideofor reecently wrote an article critical of Buhari which drew widespread criticisms from numerous of his blog readers.

3. This same unpatriotic Onitsha-born guy drew so much criticism again in 2011 when he was found out as deceptively campaigning for an IBB presidency, only for him to offer a weak denial when the heat was too much for him.

4. In fact this same guy has been so critical of Buhari that his 'predictions' about GEJ beating Buhari are nothing but reflections of his wishful thinking and day-dreaming.

5. Adibe's thinking and views often mirror a pathetic personality crisis; on the one hand, he wants to appear as a progressive academic, but on the other, he is often found out admiring one corrupt member of the cabal or another.

6. This is why he recently went as far as ridiculing himself and belittling his academic status by re-echoing the clueless comment by GEJ that corruption is not the problem of Nigeria.

7. So only the gullible and the uninformed would fall for this latest display of desperation by the PDP; the smart among us would always know the difference between an election prediction that is hinged on solid, impartial analysis of all the factors and a watery, swishy-washy job that was designed by a highly biased individual with the sole purpose of achieving a hidden, narrow and partisan agenda!

WE ALREADY KNOW THAT HE WILL WIN!

How can a semi-illiterate terrorist win in a democratic election?
Buhari is unelectable for life!

GEJ abeg carry go!

Describes APC as a fragile anti-Jonathan setup


BROOKINGS, the world’s most influential think-tank based in the United States, have projected President Goodluck Jonathan’s victory over the opposition candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, in the February presidential election, which it suggests would be keenly contested.

The analysis, context and rationale of the think-tank’s projections were contained in the Brookings publication entitled: Foresight Africa – Top Priorities for the continent (January 2015).

“Though the election is expected to be very competitive, the odds still favour President Jonathan.”

According to Brookings, the All Progressives Congress (APC) is a fragile anti-Jonathan establishment with a sole purpose to return power to the north.

“The party is, however, a fragile one that seems united only in its quest to wrest the presidency from Jonathan or to have power “returned” to the north.”

“The APC gets much of its strength from tapping into anti-Jonathan sentiments in the Muslim north and grievances among the Yoruba who feel that the Jonathan administration has ignored them in key political appointments.”

The report also indicated that “the APC’s strategy is hinged on a combination of popular votes from the North-West, North-East and “the battleground South-West” but also hinted at the possibility of Bola Ahmed Tinubu not delivering the region contrary to speculations.

“What remains to be seen, however, is whether Bola Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State who played a pivotal role in the formation of the APC and is considered to be the party’s strongest mobiliser in the South-West, will be very enthusiastic in delivering the battleground South-West to the APC during the elections.”

“Tinubu indicated his interest in being the party’s vice presidential candidate but being a Muslim like Buhari, the party’s strategists felt that a Muslim-Muslim ticket might offend Christians and cement the PDP’s labelling of the APC as an Islamic party.”

[/size]On President Jonathan’s performance: “despite Boko Haram, the country is thriving: The economy continues to grow and with the re-basing of its GDP, became the largest economy in Africa and the 26th largest in the world. Jonathan’s supporters also point to his success in containing the Ebola virus, which earned him commendations from countries and institutions around the world.”

The Brookings report also identified factors such as incumbency and numerical control of states where PDP has 21 states and APC only 14 as giving PDP an edge.

“The greatest strength of the ruling PDP is its “power of incumbency,” and all the institutional support that goes with it. Not only does it have federal resources to use as patronage, it also controls key institutions.”

The report advised that all efforts should be deployed to ensure a free, fair and transparent elections and to avoid a meltdown as post-election violence seems very likely.

“Post-election violence is therefore likely in the north if the APC loses while renewed militancy in the restive Niger Delta is likely if Jonathan does,” the report noted.

The last paragraph looks scary though.

MissMeiya:
Now, let's address those so-called quotes Tribune used. (By the way, I am absolutely disgusted by this behavior. This is an offense to the field of journalism, and I will be writing to the Tribune, and to other newspapers to expose them. This is a new low. I've never seen anyone or anything sink so LOW.)



This report was NOT published by Brookings US, but by Brookings Global, and was written by a Nigerian professor.


Here is the full quote:
"The APC gets much of its strength from tapping into anti-Jonathan sentiments in the Muslim north and grievances among the Yoruba who feel that the Jonathan administration has ignored them in key political appointments. Allegations of corruption against top PDP officials will be powerful ammunition in the hands of the APC, especially with the choice of Buhari, widely seen as not corrupt, as the party's presidential candidate. The party is, however, a fragile one that seems united only in its quest to wrest the presidency from Jonathan or to have power "returned" to the north. Though the election is expected to be very competitive, the odds still favor President Jonathan."


The factors influencing those odds that were listed in the report: CORRUPTION, MONEY, AND THE POWER OF INCUMBENCY.


LMFAO. Here's the full quote:
"Jonathan's Performance in Office
Jonathan's supporters argue that-despite Boko Haram-the country is thriving: The economy continues to grow and-with the re- basing of its GDP-became the largest economy in Africa and the 26th largest in the world. Jonathan's supporters also point to his success in containing the Ebola virus, which earned him commendations from countries and institutions around the world. For his critics however, his incompetence is reflected in the high unemployment rate, which worsened from 12 percent in 2006 to 24 percent in 2011 (Premium Times 2013), general insecurity in the country and the deepening suspicion among the different ethnic groups. Former President Olusegun Obasanjo in fact accused Jonathan of being a polarizing figure who promotes clannishness, "For you to allow yourself to be 'possessed,' so to say, to the exclusion of most of the rest of Nigerians as an 'Ijaw man' is a mistake that should never have been allowed to happen," an angry Obasanjo wrote in an 18-page letter to the president (Adoyi 2013).

Opinions on Jonathan's approach to Boko Haram vary wildly as well: His critics cite terrorism as more evidence of his incompetence. On the other hand, his supporters claim that the terrorism is actually evidence of a siege laid on his administration by powerful politicians from the Muslim north aiming for it to fail."


Once again, the full quote:
"WHAT SHOULD BE DONE IN 2015

Avoiding a Meltdown
Given the centrality of political power in Nigeria, the election-just like almost all elections in Nigeria-will be highly contentious and the losing side is likely to blame its fate on rigging.

Post-election violence is therefore likely in the north if the APC loses while renewed militancy in the restive Niger Delta is likely if Jonathan does.

A main source of concern will be if the elec- tions become stalemated for a prolonged period or if the scale of post-election violence gets beyond a certain threshold. In these scenarios, we may have to keep an eye on some military adventurists who may be tempted to use the opportunity to cause trouble-especially if the Boko Haram challenge remains intractable."


Your source is the biggest joke of all.
