President Buhari says he was scared of contesting in the 2015 presidential election after his failures in past elections. He said this while addressing APC leaders during the breaking of the Ramadan fast at the presidential villa yesterday July 14th

"No matter the level you are, drop your influence so that we can help achieve the manifesto – security, economy, employment and corruption- because if we don’t kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria. We have to ensure that people we bring forward are those that will move the society forward.

I always like to go down the memory lane to show how lucky we are as a political group. At no stage was the decision taken by chance, it was all deliberate. The leaders of the parties felt the only way to wrest power from the PDP was for us to come together. I, in particular, was scared after previous failures of the elections of 2003, 2007 and 2011. We dissolved our various parties to form APC, then we applied to INEC, for once I was grateful to INEC. We had gone with nine people to INEC to apply and INEC advised us that we needed at least 25 people to form a political party. We were able to go back and raised 35 members across the country and then successfully registered the party. INEC then informed the federal government that we have met the requirements hence we cannot be denied registration. Many doubting Thomases said merger had never succeeded in Nigeria but here we are. I went into this long explanation so that you will appreciate how far we have come and for a society as ours, if we respect the constitution, then all the greed and problems will be a thing of the fast.”he said

Nonsense! Nonsense! Nonsense! You think we've forgotten that gej was beaten at his own aso rock polling station? Jega did that too? For how much longer will you wail, Mr wailing wailer?

The lie you regurgitated above has long be debunked, GEJ won at Aso Rock, do your self a favour by reading, online newspapers are free.

The same gadget that the US commended? Those same gadgets will be used in the governorship elections in Bayelsa and Kogi states. Get ready to wail, wailing wailer.

And Jega would have veered from the prepared scripts abi?

This man should leave history lesson to lecturers and start earning his pay and privileges. The presidency should not be an end in itself, make the right impact and leave the country better than you met it and you would have earned the right to regale us with the stories of your boring rise to power. For now stop the boko massacres, the downward slide in the value of Naira, the rising inflation, the high pump price of fuel etc

Mogidi:

why won't he? present a real data of manipulation from so called device. it's not too late nah, use the available resources.

wish you the very best of luck bro.

We don hear.

I might have forgotten that. Even if he did, must be by the closest of margins. At his own backyard! And you expected such a man to win the elections? lol. If that election ws conducted 100 times in that period, gej would lose 100 times.

It is not possible to run a government without referring to the previous, especially the last one year of the previous government. Buhari and the apc will continue to refer to the Jonathan administration and will continue to be unapologetic about it. And just like tinubu said: they can say whatever they want, there won't be a re-run until another 4 years - 2019.
