What did Saraki do? you gotta be kidding me! Check out how he delivered Kwara for GMB in grand style.

Please please even Mr. Corruption, Tinubu delivered the whole of SW. Ondo inclusive. Saraki has no place on that list I insist. Saraki joined when he was certain thatthe change train had a definite direction and route.

gateleo:
The significance of Muhammadu Buhari’s victory is underlined by the fact that this will be the first in the history of Nigeria’s electoral process when an incumbent president is defeated. It was no small feat that was achieved by some of the country’s most prominent political figures.


Asiwaju Bola Tinubu

The former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is considered a master political strategist who guided Buhari’s aspiration to a success at the party’s national convention last year.
Sai-Baba2Tinubu was able to ensure that not only did Buhari get the block vote of the Southwest, but also ensured that many states outside the region that did not have governors in the contest supported Buhari.
After the nomination convention, Tinubu together with likeminded party members was able to weave a formidable campaign machine that put Buhari to victory. Reflective of Tinubu’s imprint in the victory was the fact that Buhari in his last three runs never made an impression in the Southwest, a region he swept last weekend with victories in five of the six states.
Despite the lures and lashes from the opposition, Tinubu stood firm in an unwavering support for Buhari that proved crucial in achieving victory.


Governor Chibuike Amaechi

Governor Amaechi ably steered the Buhari campaign in such a way that brought the old candidate into reckoning in ways he never had been before. The governor’s input was there in the transformation of the general in his dressing and approach to campaign. The governor was in direct control of strategy and deployment of personnel at the campaign headquarters. He was also believed to be involved in the indirect talks with some major political players who helped to ensure the victory of the general at both the nomination convention and the general election.

Senator Bukola Saraki

Senator Bukola Saraki who served as governor of Kwara State before going to the Senate was also instrumental to the victory. His deployment of political and other resources not only helped in the general’s sweep of Kwara State, but also in forming bonds with other major political players in the country.

President Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo is perceived another influential personality to Buhari’s ascendancy to Aso Rock. President Obasanjo’s behind the door counsel and patronage of Team Buhari was an open secret. He demonstrated so even in the days before the election was postponed last February when he went on an international circuit to launch his recently released book, My Watch.
He also met with market leaders in his Abeokuta office where he gave them counsel on how to vote.
However, the most strategic role President Obasanjo may have played is believed to have been in bringing international focus on Nigeria in such a way that put the defeated president in a cul de sac on allowing his subordinates to manipulate the results.

Atiku Abubakar

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar may not have been seen regularly on the podium pushing for Buhari, but he was a main backer in terms of resources. Once he lost the ticket to Buhari, Atiku pushed his structure including his savvy media team headed by Mallam Garba Shehu to Buhari’s use. The team proved to be a torn in the flesh of Candidate Goodluck Jonathan.

APC GOVERNORS

All the APC governors without exception backed the general. Though two of them, Al Makura in Nasarawa and Adams Oshiomhole in Edo were not able to deliver their states to Buhari, but the efforts they made was undeniable. Oshiomhole was especially a thorn in the flesh of Camp Jonathan in the last few days.

Muhammadu Buhari (retd) for President since 2014 and consistently campaigned and defended him without doubts, without apologies and without regrets; the first to break the news of his electoral victory and congratulate him and lest we forget the GMB Volunteers.

Nigerians Have Decided...
#Change is finally here

They tried to break our spirits, we refused to relent.
They tried to provoke us, we chose peace instead.
We only one weapon, our PVCs!
And we became victorious.
Nigeria united, with one heart, one spirit, one voice, we chose #Change

As the chants of #SaiBaba #SaiBuhari rend the air we know it is time to celebrate, and be gallant victors![/size]

NIGERIA.
I will tell my children that after 16 years and 4
trials and three woeful fails, one school
certificate holder,Three different Political
parties,With only 1 million and 150 cattles,
Gen Buhari from the north won elections to
become Nigeria's President. I
will teach them the lesson of persistence.

I will tell them of a Goodluck Jonathan from
the creeks with no shoes that allowed for a
credible election process and honourable
concession of power
to the people's choice. and return to Otueke
peacefully .The First Seating president to
concede to defeat by the opponent party in
good spirit.
I will cultivate in them the values of healthy
competition, maintenance of peace and
gentility of spirit.

I will tell them of a Professor Attahiru Jega
who put aside personal interests to fulfill his
public assignment, remaining calm in the face
of threatening challenges and Political
Orubebes I will teach them the importance of
integrity and strength of
character in the dispensation of public service.
I will teach my children, so that one day their
names may honourably go down in the history
of this nation, just as the names of these
honourable men have today

JONATHAN must be regretting making amaechi an enemy. I have a lot if respect for governor amaechi, stood up against the establishment and won.

That to me was his biggest source of his downfall.

The minute he lost Ameachi, he passed the resources of the second richest state of Nigeria to APC election machinery to add to its existing use of the richest state, Lagos.

The financial muscle of APC was key in winning this election.

With Jona--daft using state resources to campaign, APC could compete with the use of resources from Lagos, Rivers, Kano and the other SW states.

Tinubu has probably inflated alot of contracts in these states to cream of the extras as campaign funds.

It would not be as much as GEJ is using out of Federal budget but enough when added to GEJ's incompetence, stupidity and support for corruption to win PDP in an election.

And guess how GEJ lost Ameachi?

Because of the morbidly obese, reetarded market woman liability he put as a wife who went to Rivers State to insult the governor.

And since GEJ was dumb, instead of apologising, he took the side of his liability.

A very good outcome for Nigeria.

Let this cretinous First Family head back to Otuoke.

Ameachi's loss was totally unwarranted the man ha no qualms with GEJ but his wife. GEJ would have played a re-conciliatory role and settled the dispute but he chose to attack him at the Governors forum election, that to me was the beginning of his woes.

EXACTLY!

That just shows how foolish the man is in all his decisions and all aspects of his life.

I have always said he was not smart enough to be at Aso Rock. He got there by powerful people appointing him and sheer luck.

Thank God, his stupidity was his downfall and just saved Nigeria.

This cretin would have destroyed the nation if we had given him 4 more years.

IBB institutionalised corruption, GEJ was on the road to make it national culture.
