While I agree with what you say, I must point out that the Tunisian president has been in power since 1987!

Do Nigerians really need to wait for that long before deciding enough is enough?

thinking rationally, can anyone mention one thing, only one thing GEJ has done to make him qualified for president. at least we know ribadu fought corruption.selectively or not, some criminals sha went to jail.

even though i hate to see power going back to the north, i still feel ribadu will make a better president than GEJ.

How i wish for either of Buhari or Ribadu to submit to one another to make a strong candidate? Then we can all vote for one of them so our votes won't be scanty on any of them, LoL. We really need to chase fiideefii outta power!

Nl is really making sum dudes delusional. U sit down in ur offices and post unrealistic comments. I tell all of u screamin to vote PDP outta power, it will take much more dan ur domestic bickeringg. the mechanism the have on ground cant be swept away just like dat. I beliv the signs are there, pdp is goin down someday, but, not just yet!

The party isnt d prob, tis d individuals repping d party, #justsaying

Hmm hmmm,all you hypocritical posters are political novices at best and are free to write all the views and counter views you are able to contrive,the funny thing is that so many of you are not politicians,so many of you WILL NOT REGISTER,therefore CANNOT VOTE,so I wonder how you hope to translate your nairaland views into real political points.I remember suggesting to Ogboru to do less of facebook campaigning and more of grass roots politicking as most facebookers are thousands of miles away from the battle zone,while most others who are within the locality,make online posts from the comfort of their houses/offices;THEY NEVER EVER VOTE.

With the benefit of my political hindsight,GEJ is the candidate to beat in the April polls,matter of fact;HE'LL TROUNCE BUHARI hands down(with the level accdeptance and good will he enjoys across the six geo-political zones)

Oh about Ribadu and ACN,pleaaaaee Ribadu is a huge joke.Like a said earlier they could as well have selected Seun Osewa

I dey laugh ooooo

The only realistic comment i've read under this post so far. You are very spot-on, the next 4 years is either for PDP to change and deliver or they loose out in 2015 or 2019 because by then ACN will have Fashola or Oshiomole available to run. In all people hardly change and i don't see PDP changing from what they are presently "Corruption Moguls".

I totally disagree with you,the driving force behind ACN today(Tinubu) will eventually be the undoing of the party,with his penchant for greed and corruption.We're all aware of his many attempts to frustrate Fashola out of power for not dancing completely to his looting tunes.This is the reason Fashola was almost crippled he did almost no infrastructural works in Lagos for the better part of 2010.

Recall the man was reported to have contemplated decamping from the AC in the event that Tinubu had his way by either impeaching him or denying him the second term ticket.Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely,ia nay organisation where one man wirlds so much power as Tinubu does,it will amount to harakiri for a nation to put their hopes in such a party

What you deem realistic is handing over the presidency to PDP without as much as fight? WOW!!! And people wonder why some have concluded at this point that Nigeria gets exactly the kind of leaders it deserves.

The way it's panning out,it's going to be between GEJ,Buhari,Ribadu and others

Let's analyse them;

The others will eventually be what they are;the others aka the also rans

Ribadu is a toddler in politics,he has no democratic experience and no leadership experience at that level.Even the EFCC he led,his word was law;more a dictatorial dispensation,he didnt have to contend with a national assembly that more often than not,can make life miserable for people.Nigeria and her problems is far bigger than the EFCC

Buhari;well Buhari has lost it;while he still enjoys a sizeable following in the north,he lacks national acceptance,plus the people who control the political structures in the north,and who will influnce the choices of the voters there including the almajiris have mostly alligned with the GEJ camp;this therefore is the reason PDP will be in power for at least the next four years,

Believe it or not, Nigeria is ready to change and move on, ppl are more enlightened than b4.

I am having a hard time buying your 'analysis' there since it does not seem rooted on reality much. According to you, because Jonathan Goodluck was able to clinch the PDP mandate, all of Nigeria will vote for him? Are you implying that because the majority of the PDP delegates from States like Imo, Rivers, Ondo, Jigawa etc voted for him, means he will definitely win those states, in a free and fair election? Are you saying Nigerians have not had enough to the PDP party and are willing to gamble another 4 years of their souls away because a JJC like Jonathan is now flag-bearer of the party? Are Nigerians that gullible in your opinion?

rasputinn:

Honerico,after reading your post I have to forgive your naivety as it's obvious politics is not your forte hence this illogical post

And who told you i needed your forgiveness? i repeat, GEJ is a puppet to huge criminals, we all know these criminals, i CANNOT and WILL NOT entrust my present and future into his hands (countrywise), he's not different from his mentors/cronies.

How many months did he take him to amass wealth (Billions of naira) within the time he was Deputy Governor/Governor of Bayelsa state?

What exactly has he done for Nigeria since he came into the federal limelight?

It is obvious that Nigeria is going to be better one day, but if ANYONE would think that Buhari is the one that would bring that change then such a clown must have other ideas, go to your history class and review all the blunders Buhari brought to this country, these were the same set of people (Buhari, Shagari, IBB, Abacha) that orchestrated the backwardness of this country and we are calling on them to lead us once more. Let us stop all this mockery over ourselves, If you say Buhari should rule this country, you can as well go and wake up Abacha to rule us into Anarchy. And when we are insulting Obasanjo don't forget to give him some credit in our debt relief. In my opinion, Buhari should not be allowed any form of power again, his generation is on recess. Now the ball is in our court, to register and vote hoping and praying who ever gets there would bring the desired change.
God Bless Nigeria

Good for RiBADu, I just hope he is able to make a change otherwise we will spend 4 year fighting corruption while sinking!

Where is Donald Duke, Marwa and Rev Chris okotie?

aren't they trying this time?

someone said the election proper is going to be like David (Ribadu) vs Golliath (Goodluck)

in that case, are we talking about any miracle stone here?

You people should calm, APRIL IS AT HAND.

ATIKU SPENT MORE THAN 80 BILLIONS FOR THIS PRIMARY ELECTION. He still gave each delegates $7,000. and at the end of the day, his votes did not clinch 90, what a shame,

LETS WAIT AND SEE

If only our youths can be truly wise, they should all rally around Nuhu Ribadu and vote for him to remove the corrupt ruling PDP.

The whole setup seems a selection process: the 3 candidates sat together gisting even d malami guy is chewing gum, he moved to bafarawa side gisting together as if they are all on an arrangement? They'l soon address d delegates to seek their votes in this order.> Bafarawa >malami >ribadu

This was the kind of maturity we all expected from Atiku but the defiant bitch came their to attack,rant and ready for physical fight and at the end God shamed him outrightly.

Very unfortunate that the politics of Nigeria make a new twist two days ago and a new reasonable thinking generation now decided who they want. Now the North who were once the hunter in Nigeria political jungle now become the hunted because power has changed hand every citizen of Nigeria has absolute right to be the president not that some region take presidency as their birth right and believing that without them no other person gone are those days thanks be to God.


How I wish Ribadu could win the ACN primary because he is also one of the new generation of Nigeria, lets wait to see how it goes.

With the benefit of my political hindsight,GEJ is the candidate to beat in the April polls,matter of fact;HE'LL TROUNCE BUHARI hands down(with the level accdeptance and good will he enjoys across the six geo-political zones)

You are right though am not a pdp fan but just like Gej and the truth is I seriously doubt it if any one can beat him in April election, as a matter of fact Gej is the president of this country for the next four years to come no doubt about that let us not deceive ourselves this is the truth we dont need to pretend. about it.

RIBADU: well a good contestant but i still Support PROF. PAT UTOMI, for Gej he his not better and does not even know what he his doing there, making promise upon promise and yet we are saying he his luck, Leadership is not by been luck put by utilizing your opportunity, Fashola did that and we are still okay with him, but this Gej for a year nothing change, and you say make i vote am for another 4 years, DO THE MATHEMATICS your self naw.

someone said the election proper is going to be like David (Ribadu) vs Golliath (Goodluck)

in that case, are we talking about any miracle stone here?
   

Well what I will say is with present political situation in Nigeria I must confess that for any party to beat PDP in the coming presidential election will be like Camel trying to race pass horse it will be a dream a real wild dream. This is no more governorship issue where some strange court decision took over the day this is presidential issue I dont know how another party will win any of this PDP state easily I dont know this is just my view not a prediction because am not God.

The honest truth is though people hate PDP including myself but people like GEJ including me so the support and popularity GEJ enjoys for any aspirant to overide this it is going to be a wild dream. Gej is just an ordinary Nigeria like us and this is what people want not just arrogant, self believing, superman, superhero,ego, boastful naughty man like Atiku. And none of the ACN candidate has such popularity the only candate that is a bit popular again at the moment is Buhari which is from other party. As I said am not God lets wait to see what happen by April. This is just my view.

So who won?

Ribadu won. He will be contesting against Jonathan

The emboldened is a fact and your post are realistic to what is happening on ground and not this fantasy land called Nairaland. Some people come to this site to live out their fantasy without taking into consideration the real world. Ribadu is just a huge joke and let's see how many of you will vote on that day. all you do is talk while you sit in your homes when the moment beckons.

Fhemmmy:

So who won?

Ribadu was selected without any contest. .so nobody won. .

Who among the candidates today is TRULY different from "his mentors/cronies"? Mind u, they have/had the same mentors/cronies. . .with d exception of Buhari (u may say). When Ribadu was receiving triple promotion, it was very good by him and that was y he was biting some people so hard while appearing so toothless to others. . .whereas all had sinned and come short of the same threshold of glory.

9ja its not about Gej or religion, its about saving nigeria no matter where the candidate come from,
if Gej or ribadu buhari is been scan and result came out from computer that buhari is the man,what re u going to do?re we going to drop buhari because he is a muslim and choose Gej?its about saving our great land first.
good luck to All.

kobojunkie,maybe na you go lead the team of touts that will do that.
