YourImaginaryBF:
you support Atiku despite admitting he's corrupt. What wonders are you expecting a thief like Atiku to perform?

Last election (2015), some of the biggest factors that played a role in the voting were corruption, unemployment, poverty, electricity among others. Fast forward to this year, these problems have worsened and Buhari has introduced other major problems. So People now realize it wasn’t necessary voting for Buhari in the first place, after all GEJ was gradually installing anti corruption mechanisms and elections were becoming free and fair, a process which brought Buhari into office.

You really can’t fight the will of the people, you need to accept it. Atiku Will not solve most of these problems mentioned, but he certainly won’t be running an economy as bad as Buhari who has never managed any successful business of his own talkless lead a global economy like Nigeria

Watch how people that bashed the Economist when they declared their dullard will lose the 2019 elections, come here to masturbate on this thread. Even if Atiku is coming to Rob CBN, assign all oil wells to himself or even to Islamise me, my vote is for him. Shikena!

And the same people that lauded The Economist on Buhari's issue will attack The Economist over Atiku's issue. It cuts both ways my friend

I hope those who claim the Economist is credible wont call this APC propaganda grin

The Economist called him a wheeler-dealer sef grin grin grin

For those who do not know what this means, A wheeler-dealer is a person who makes deals in business or politics in a skilful and sometimes dishonest way.
We will still vote for this wheeler dealer. I'll rather support a wheeler dealer with full grasp of what governance of 180m diverse people is than the slowpoke currently in aso rock.

It is the usual chant of corrupt people to claim they are not the only ones.

Buhari's wife never had 2.5 billion.

If I use your name to steal money from your mother does that make you a thief?

If they tell you what has Buhari done to deserve reelection, you tell them it's even because he's done absolutely nothing that you want Buhari till 2023! No time!
In fact, if Buhari no rig them & make the distance between his votes & the next person dey like 20m, I go quarrel Buhari!

Alot better than the below wonders Buhari has performed in just 3 years


See below Buharis real achievement


13 trillion Naira loan with nothing to show for it

Over 13 million white collar Job losses

Over
Record human rights abuse !!!!

I just have flush the shit you are spewing ,
The 13 trillion loan ,was it in cash or as capital infrastructure based.

13 million job losses yet you can point to a friend or family that loss there job ...so in pdp 16yrs people no lose job, we donnt

Recorded human right abuse,, you insult buhari like ur existence depends on it ... how many times have you been arrested, some newspaper even publicized tarnishing fake news how many as been locked down.

We are the headquarter of poverty yet mobile companies , telecommunications,pay tv ,clubs are making huge gains .. there is suffering in naija no doubts but headquarter of poverty nah.
If buhari cannt do it ,, inside 180m nigerians there is no one asides that atiku ,its a shame to pdp shame to naija,
As much as you support atiku describe him in one word

My brother, I don’t agree with you on the points raised. The Fulani killings predate PMB, true. But the killings became more amplified under his regime due to his inaction. For a man of integrity is it too much to ask for PMB to bring the perpetrators to book regardless of how highly placed they are. I mean people are killed right in their homes, killers take over a community for days and no military response,nothing but mere rhetorics after the act and no one has been arrested or sponsors revealed or prosecuted.
We all can remember that the SGF was relieved of his job after a frenzy of condemnation from anti-corruption groups. Was he ever prosecuted? I would think that someone who flaunts Integrity would have had the SGF behind bars by now, Maina nko? Any prosecution even after overwhelming evidence. PMB has nothing to do with Innoson, that is between GTB and Innoson, what about is Chief of staff, Daura and all that has been linked to him, he still has his job. See I had hope in PMB but he messed up big time. If not for anything I would have expected the IG and the minister for interior to lose their jobs after the carnage in Jos and Benue. Do you see the vigor with which the army is searching for killers of the army general in plateau state? Why can’t this same energy by channelled into getting the sponsors of these killings? PMB disappointed a lot of people and that’s why today a person like Atiku has a chance.

rusher14:


You guys bring up the issue of Fulani Herdsmen but stylish avoid mentioning it predates Buhari.

You also avoid noticing how as political campaigns gain momentum the articles on FH have died down.

You talk about scams in his government but it mostly relates to an SGF who has since been relieved of his duties.

If you expect the SGF's case to be adjudicated upon ahead of cases such as Innosons or even Atiku's then it means you are not being realistic.

At the end of the day, Nigerians are not left with 2 choices. Yet, it seems many are only interested in access to quick cash as against organic growth.

Is sad that we're at this level, but at this point, I think I'll go for a corrupt Atiku than a corrupt PMB. Did I hear you say the latter not corrupt?? Let's not even go there.

PMB has been an unmitigated disappointment to his supporters. Yes, I, like many others, were once his ardent supporter. Ordinarily this election would have been a walk over for him, but the fact hes struggling to even list the most basic of his achievement show just poor his records are.

Of course we didn't expect PMB to perform miracles, but had he lived up the expectation of his two must vaunted credentials, anticorruption and security, then perhaps I would be more optimistic.

The way these jobless Igbos yoots are supporting Atiku shows that their initial struggle for succession was never genuine.
If it was an Ibo man that is contesting I would have said they are being pacified with presidential ticket.

It is worthy to note that even if it is an Igboman they will still not support him like the way their fathers supported Shagari instead of Azikiwe who was their own in 1979 and 1983

Bless you o jare. Bolded sums it up. Were PMB not the collosal disappointment that he turned out to be, this election would have been a walk over for him.

Aside from modest gains in Agriculture, there's virtually nothing to show for his 3+ years than galloping poverty, unprecedented mind numbing acts of nepotism, fledgling corruption,etc. . . Abeg I don tire
