Well, first I appreciate your maturity as a progressive. I will continue to participate in politics without fear or favor but when it comes to issues that bothers on National Security, I am always being careful. If you listen to Obasanjo carefully, he wasn't even sure. First he said GEJ was training snipers, till date we haven't witnessed any politically motivated assassination. Now comes the issue of ING. The question I will throw at you is "For who" and by who? How possible and rational is that considering that the handover date, election dates all falls within a stipulated time in the constitution? On the election shift, the law permits INEC to even shift it until April 28 date. That doesn't come as a surprise but a shock. What about the ING? How will they be able to manipulate the law? Three postulations were made which is real? If you say it was to keep the government in check, the question is is it morally right to play politics with National security? Is it right to create such atmosphere because of politics? Has GMB uttered any word on this?

You seem to have forgotten that this govr doesn't give a damn about the constitution, or the law and will manipulate it or breach it whenever it deems fit. A simple example is the case of speaker Tambuwal's defection to APC and the manner it was handled by the presidency. If the govt will go as far as firing teargas to the honourable members for Tambuwals defection, tell me what they will not do now that their seat is threatened.

The present govt is already playing politics with national security by forcing JEGA to postpone the election, and possibly have more sinister games up its sleeves which Obj and Sahara reporters most likely have a hint on.

Don't underestimate the dubious nature of PDP.

@Barca; You're getting the benefits of doubt because you were one of us - we laughed , cried and fought for what we believed in together. For that you'll always be given a special place. But this path you're treading is ignoble. It is the worst position to be - strategically, as one of the cardinal laws in life, and especially in politics is to be so prepared that there are "no days unalert." And the worst is that, why at this late - after having come this long?

I never really took the guy serious when I came back to this forum a month ago. I was surprised he was on progressives side. I once had verbal wrestling with him when he was in PDP's camp. The guy is only trying to appeal to some girls on GEJ's side. I have been watching his moves in the last few weeks trying to appeal to some girls who are staunch supporters of GEJ. He created this thread for that purpose.

[b]You should know better than what you just penned. Don't pretend to be what you are not, bros. Don't try to portray yourself as independent minded when you are not.

Conventional wisdom should tell you there must be truth to the ING rumor going around like wild fire. If there was no truth to it, why did Abati bring it up yesterday that Obasanjo was planning to head interim national government? Who is planning what and why the talk of it at all by Abati? Abati made it look like there is truth to it in which Obasanjo is jealous that he is not being considered for ING post. Don't forget about three weeks ago when Sahara Reporter brought up the rumor about shifting election date. Many people on this forum dismissed it as gossip. As it turned out they were right again like many times before. Sahara Reporters have a mole in the villa who is giving out information.

You claimed Jonathan has promised John Kerry that May 29 was sacrosanct but have you forgotten Jonathan told us many times election would hold on February 14? Why should you believe Jonathan now when indeed at the media chat of few days ago Jonathan told the whole world he did not know about plan to shift the election date. Did you really believe that when he said that? Did you really believe no one consulted Jonathan about the election shift.

Why would Sahara Reporters drop the name of Abdulasallami Abubakar without any iota of truth to it? Do you really think Sahara Reporter dropped Abdulsallami name out of thin air without an insider telling them about the impending plan? Have you honestly ask yourself that question?

I can't believe you are a political novice to think Jonathan is not looking for way out of this mess. Currently, Jonathan knows that he is about to lose an election in a landslide. You should know better that Jonathan is only looking for ways to scuttle election and avoid Buhari getting to the throne. Conventional wisdom should tell you the script being played by Jonathan and Co is not about winning election anymore. The script is now about how to prevent election or how to stop Buhari from getting there. For Jonathan and Co, ING is an option and a staged coup is also an option. Jonathan has already thrown out the possibility of contesting against Buhari and lose. It would be suicidal for Jonathan and his group to let the election go ahead as planned. Let me advice you to watch the campaign Jonathan and his wife had in Bayelsa last week. Did you listen to everything PEJ say? Have you listened to where PEJ said "there is no way they are handing over to old man called Buhari". Go on youtube and watch the campaign again. While at that, watch the video where Okupe was screaming and vowing that this government will never handover to Buhari. They know they are about to lose to Buhari and not ready to handover to him. They are not saying Buhari is not going to win this election. They are saying they are not handing over to Buhari. PEJ and Okupe have been saying the same thing and you should think about that instead of pretending to be an independent thinker. A month ago Okupe aide declared on social media they won't be handing over to Buhari and they rather let the military to take over. There is absolute truth to these rumors.



Let me break it to you. I heard there were four international polling firms that conducted polls for Jonathan in which the four polls had Buhari leading between 20-36%. There was a meeting where the poll results were discussed by Jonathan, Diezani and Mimiko. My source told me Diezani told Jonathan how worried she was about how the campaign has turned out. She expressed her frustration and became worried. At the meeting, Mimiko told her not to worry that actions were in place to turn things around. It was at that meeting Mimiko brought up the idea to replace Jega and replace him with their man in which the president rejected initially but later willing to go with the idea. This happened less than two weeks ago.



@OP, I expected better from you.

This thread was created to appeal to some girls who are on GEJ's side. I have been watching his moves. I never took him serious since I came back to this forum after my sabbatical leave.

I was going to take Barcanista head on as I have on other threads in the past even though we are all supposedly for CHANGE, but I have seen prior posts and you guys have done severe justice to the matter at hand.

Barca while entitled to his opinions, sometimes appears to be either naive from living abroad (quoting constitution as if it has not being circumvented before) or is a mole (a PDP wolf among APC sheep).

I remember the same barca opened a thread quoting how Feb 14 elections were impossible to shift based on the constitution, that he still holds his original views about GEJ's govt after that shift is not acknowledging the reality on ground.

He also blamed Jega for the poll shift knowing fully well that Jega would be foolhardy to conduct any elections under the circumstances the military put him under.

There's no smoke without fire. Barca may have been compromised.

Let's all be careful with the wave of propaganda we spread and try to vet each information as it comes using our ability to think critically. For the first time i think Barcanista has proven that he has some decorum and decency in him to filter truth from propaganda. Typically, his fellow progressives have turned on him without considering the message.

Obasanjo is a pained man. He has lost everything and there's nothing left for him to hold on to if not to find a backdoor into the power house again. It's not unusual for old men to crave and cling on to power, especially African leaders, (Biya, Ghadaffi, Mugabe, et al). Obasanjo desperately needs power and that is his game plan.

I can understand Jonathan has completely frustrated him by making him entirely irrelevant in PDP and weeded all his allies away and that is seriously affecting Obasanjo. "He whom the gods want to destroy, they first make him mad".

A normal old Ex-leader should be a statesman and act as an advisory agent to the present leaders but Obasanjo can not do that because in the first place he has no Family to turn to. He is estranged with his children already after sleeping with his son's wife and the public disgrace meted out to him by his daughter.

To add insult to injury, the "clueless" one has taught him a very important lesson at his old age. Jonathan has checkmated him using Kashamu Buruji to limit his influence on South-West PDP, (talk of dog fighting dog). And his old nemesis, Tony Anenih is Jonathan's henchman. Jonathan has taken ALL from him and completely dismantled his structures.

When Jonathan wins the election (it would hold and he will win!!!), he would have successfully pulled out the greatest coup and the real change in Nigeria's political history. The "clueless" one has stepped on lot of toes, looked at them eyeball to eyeball and demolished them. Little wonder why the whole world is against him.

On March 28 a new dawn will emerge in Nigeria's history. The final departure from the scene of the old men that has refused to let Nigeria be, with Obasanjo and Buhari leading the failed packs.

APC can keep shouting change all they want and they can keep accusing PDP for 16 wasted years but the facts are barefaced, 80% or more of the erstwhile PDP members that destroyed Nigeria for years are now in the APC. The real change is Jonathan, the "clueless" one.

It is no news that some media and personalities have been reporting of a "planned" installation of an Interim National Government by President Goodluck Jonathan. Sahara Reporters, Obasanjo and other "sources" are few people to be propagating this "revelation".

We were told that the Jonathan's administration has no plan to conduct the election and it planned to create a chaos for the Army led by General Kenneth Minimah to takeover the reins of power because they will rather not witness a Buhari government.

Later we were told that the President plans to perpetually remain in power by getting the NASS postpone the election for six months with the pretence of the crises in the North - East. The plan is to invoke Section 135(3) of the Constitution according to this theory.

Just of recent we were told by Sahara Reporters that their "Source" told them that Jonathan approached exHead of State General Abdulsalam Abubakar and "begged" him to head the supposed ING. The plan according to this source is to prevent Muhammadu Buhari from gaining victory at the poll. According to SR, the Jonathan government is to bribe NASS members with $2m and $1m each for Senate and Reps members respectively.
The plan here is for them to invoke Section 135(3) of the Constitution and declare the ING.

Aside from the fact that all theories appear disjointed and does not portray in anyway as to how Jonathan will benefit from the schemes, it also begs for the question of what is the possibility?

Firstly, Jonathan had told the US Secretary of State Mr John Kerry that the election will be held and a New Government inaugurated come May 29. President Jonathan repeated the statement in his media chat. So far, there has been no clue as to whether he plans to remain indefinitely. He also debunked the story of handing over to the Military or any illegal government

Secondly, the talk of Interim National Government is alien to our constitution. There is no way that can happen when we have no constitutional crises. There is no way Abdulsalam or Minimah can assume power except there is a coup. If there is any, then there will be a counter coup. Assuming Jonathan even considers bribing the NASS to get the six(6) months extension, he doesn't need an Abdulsalam or an ING to lead during the extension period. Section 135(3) of the Constitution is very clear that the incumbent preside over the country for the period of any extension. Considering that the opposition controls the House, the ruling party have the Senate, except there is a compromise, that will not scale through.

Thirdly, if the President is to exploit the Military. it will be to give PDP undue advantage at the poll by harassing the opposition on the day of election, and not to handover power to any Gen Minimah or a phantom ING that isn't feasible anywhere.

This talk of an ING is baseless, a distraction, a tool to heat up the already saturated polity. It is one propaganda too many. It is a threat to peace and our collective unity. I have absolute confidence that the election will be held and winner will be inaugurated come May 29.

Obasanjo specifically said Interim government is not recognized by the Nigerian constitution so why are you trying to make it seem as if he is propagating it? It's obvious some people in power are thinking about it. Perhaps the opposition is talking about it now to raise an alarm to prevent it from happening...

For anyone to think Jonathan has nothing to benefit from ING is beyond being naive.

A day they said is too long in politics, how much more 6 weeks. We all know the real reason for the postponement is not about the insecurity in 3 states, it is an attempt to buy more time or a part of a grand plan to scuttle the whole election.

Jonathan stands a lot to gain from ING, he wont have to suffer the shame of being the 1st incumbent president to lose an election, and face the risk of GMB exposing his atrocities while in government.

Forget about the constitution for now. Amendments can be made overnight. It happened in Zimbabwe and Kenya. If for one reason or the other GEJ succeeds in scuttling the election or creates a problem that prevents him from handling over to the winner, then the National assembly will have not choice but consider ING as a matter of necessity.

The opposition has no choice but to be proactive and if possible always be a step ahead of Jonathan. He is certainly not a man that can be trusted in words and actions.

The future looks uncertain... But should GEJ suffer the nation this turmoil, I hope he is well prepared for the consequence... I will not speak further.

Thank you very much. You really got the true picture of things. There is a lot going on in the background. Things are being leaked to Nigerians for a reason. I believe all the Hausa in Jonathan inner circle are leaking things to the opposition. Just on Tuesday, the APC Chairman told the press about an on going meeting at a military barrack in Kaduna where how to rig election was being discussed. The APC Chairman even mentioned name, place and program of that meeting. Things are being leaked for a reason. These Hausas are only with Jonathan in the open but deep down in their minds they are with Buhari and APC. The Hausas who are still with Jonathan at this time are only there for the fact that Jonathan still holds the key to the nation's coffer.

Aside from the fact that all theories appear disjointed and does not portray in anyway as to how Jonathan will benefit from the schemes, it also begs for the question of what is the possibility?

Firstly, Jonathan had told the US Secretary of State Mr John Kerry that the election will be held and a New Government inaugurated come May 29. President Jonathan repeated the statement in his media chat. So far, there has been no clue as to whether he plans to remain indefinitely. He also debunked the story of handing over to the Military or any illegal government

Secondly, the talk of Interim National Government is alien to our constitution. There is no way that can happen when we have no constitutional crises. There is no way Abdulsalam or Minimah can assume power except there is a coup. If there is any, then there will be a counter coup. Assuming Jonathan even considers bribing the NASS to get the six(6) months extension, he doesn't need an Abdulsalam or an ING to lead during the extension period. Section 135(3) of the Constitution is very clear that the incumbent preside over the country for the period of any extension. Considering that the opposition controls the House, the ruling party have the Senate, except there is a compromise, that will not scale through.

Thirdly, if the President is to exploit the Military. it will be to give PDP undue advantage at the poll by harassing the opposition on the day of election, and not to handover power to any Gen Minimah or a phantom ING that isn't feasible anywhere.

This talk of an ING is baseless, a distraction, a tool to heat up the already saturated polity. It is one propaganda too many. It is a threat to peace and our collective unity. I have absolute confidence that the election will be held and winner will be inaugurated come May 29.

Only idiots will believe that bro Jona will hand over to the army or ING, rather than Buhari. It just doesn't make sense. Unless if it is to spite Amaechi. Obasanjo is a disgrace to the West and Nigeria. He doesn't behave like a statesman, talkless of elder statesman. Shame on Baba.

Op,
[s]The President in his meeting with Kerry commited to Feb 14th, he moved the goalpost to 29th much after the sealed date.

If you were insinuating credibility in that statement, its a wash...[/s]

Dont worry buddy....self corrected! I jumped the gun! cheesy

Nonetheless, the president continues to claim lack of awareness and immunity on the actions of his surbodinates who, under his nose, continue to blindfold the constitution in their flagrant distespect for the sovereingty.

Did you read Wole Soyinka reaction to the date shift?
