Buhari Is Wasting His Time, he will loss anyway

Yoruba people will not vote for buhari, even if Jonathan kill 50 million people, Yoruba and northerner have issue in the past

ok we don hear you Mr Yoruba

Free hair cut for him

Eluwilussit:
The dumb masses that can't remember who screwed them in the past? The masses that don't know that perjury is a criminal offence? The masses that don't know that a coup is a treasonable offence? What do the masses know? The masses that have been used and dumped by politicians for eons? The nigerian masses don't know their right from their left, that's why Buhari is even in the picture. Mean but true.

If you had read the economist newspaper article on Nigeria election then you would have understand why some Nigerians are supporting Buhari. Noone is saying Buhari is a saint or Nigerian messiah. The problem is with GEJ/PDP that have ruled Nigeria for over 15 yrs with nothing to show for it. Some people are just tired of PDP and the next available option is APC. This is why Nigerians are supporting a coup plotters over a democrat. GEJ enjoyed the goodwill of all Nigerians in 2011 but failed to capitalized on his popularity in 2011 to improve the state of the country. I voted for GEJ in 2011 but I am not going to vote for him again because I didn't personally gain anything from his government.

I believe that is in the nation's interest to postpone the polls so that our military can finish up what they started #GEJ4NAIJA

what should our army finish that they started? Do you really think they can defeat boko haram in 6 weeks when they have been trying for 6 yrs.

Jega is not going to remove from INEC chair but I think the real plan is to disqualify Buhari. If the election had hold next week, the court wont have had time to disqualify buhari. I personaly think Buhari is going to be disqualified by the court next month and there might be more violence and killing if buhari is disqualify.

Maybe he has more than 1 PVC. There are some people with more than 1 pvc because they register multiple time in 2011.

So if the security situation don't improve does that mean the election will be postpone again?

Tuface, you don't have to explain to anybody why you kiss your baby mama. She is your children mom and you have 3 children with her so that means she would always be in your life like a second wife.

hedonistic:
Every hungry fool who collects daily stipends from Tinubu in Bourdillon would come online to claim 'political strategist'. Yimu.

All your so-called reasons are baseless and unfounded. The elections were postponed mainly because INEC is not ready at this time, and the security agencies are not ready too.

A significant number of registered voters have not collected their PVCs in the Southern part of the country. Ad-hoc INEC staff have not been trained on how to operate the card readers and other devices associated with the elections. INEC has not mapped out a plan on how to deploy men and materials to all designated polling centres in the country.

These are legitimate reasons to postpone the election. . . . . more so when you consider the fact that previous elections had been held between March and April. Nobody in the PDP or presidency has talked about postponing the May 29 handover date, so why are you APC rascals unduly worked up? What sinister plans did you have in mind for February 14th?

where did you get all this your information from? The PVC collection rate would still not be above 70% in most states if you considered the number of people that die since 2011, people that have relocated for various reason and people that don't want to vote. Jega claimed that they are ready for the election and the problem is that the federal government has refused to provide security for INEC even tho the army has had over a yr to make the necessary security arragement for inec

gbeseun:
So what happen to constitution now

what constitution? Don't you know GEJ is planning to stay in office beyond May 29th. The plan is to disqualify Buhari and GEJ contest unopposed.

TechRev:
And why should INEC determine who falls under your "most"? Every registered Nigerian should vote. Lucky you, you have collected yours. I know people that are tired of going to their LGA repeatedly and still cant get theirs. JEGA had 4yrs to do this. Its a pity he is still talking 70% please what is 30% of 63million??
Every registered Nigerian should get his PVC and be able to use it. INEC failed!

Even if the election is move to 2019, every Nigerians will still not be able to collect their PVC. You should also consider that millions of people have died since 2011, Many people have also move from the place they register and some people just don't want to collect their PVC. Also previous elections in Nigeria was less than 50% in turn out. In fact it was 32% turn out in lagos in 2011.

TechRev:
Its easy to say what you are saying when you are not among the about 30million that will be disenfranchised. Spin all the story you want but those 30million voters need to be heard(by their votes). Ask JEGA why.

30 millions are not disenfranchised like you stated. Most of the PVCs are ready to collect but some people don't want to collect their PVC. Today INEC stated they have distributed over 70% of the PVC and people can still collect till Feb 13th. The problem with Nigerians is we always wait till the last mins to do stuffs.

babestella:
The presidency is taking into consideration the issue of security in north east and the fact that many have not gotten their PVC yet. I don't know why APC wants the elections despite the fact that most people don't have PVC yet. Do you know that the election could be cancelled based on the fact that many did not vote? Who accounts for the loss? There had been serious exodus of people from the north to the south, the IDPs are not yet all accounted for and the mode of voting for them not yet determined, concrete steps need to be taken towards making it possible for those who migrated from North to south for fear of post election violence to vote.

Please let us be realistic and objective in our criticism. Why are people migrating from north to south?, obviously as a result of careless statements from an APC contestant in 2011 and also for 2015 elections (regards blood of Monkeys and baboons) already laying a foundation for another electoral violence. I should say sometimes the words we voice out comes back to hunt us. Insecurity has been created in the North East and we now have to pay the price. No one conducts elections in an insecure environment. Period.

even if the election is move to 2019 there would still not be above 80% pvc collection rate in all states. Some people just don't want to collect their pvc and vote and you cant force people to vote. Also there is no guarantee that the security situation will improve in 6 weeks time. Infact there will be more political violence and killing if the election is postpone because there will be tension in the country. Nigeria is already divided now because of the election and the election should hold as soon as possible so the country can unite back together and focus on more important issues affecting Nigerians. We have more to lose than gain if the election is postpone

koikoi2:
Just listen to urself and tell me how foolish u are.

How can u compare election in one state to an election in 36 states of d federation?

Ur plans will not work. U want soldiers to abandon d front to come and protect election materials?

So dat boko haram will throw bombs to kill innocent ppl and then u and ur mumu Buhari, Amaechi will say Jonathan is clueless?

Know it from now, no election until boko haram is eradicated completely.


Who is clueless now? GEJ or Buhari?

Nigeria should not allow boko haram hold the country to ransom. The election should not be postpone because that means 6 week of political violence and killings. Also the country is divided now because of the election and the election should hold as soon as possible so Nigerians can focus on more important issues affecting the country. Most Nigerians have already decided who to vote for so shifting the election would make no difference but lead to more tension in the country.

Louislewis:
[size=18pt]Jega, if you have been advised by Security Chiefs of this nation to postpone the election without it having any effect on the handover date, you better do so. I believe life of the electorates are more important than any individual selfish interest. For any person, group of persons, or party, going against the postponement, because he or she, they or their party felt that it will be of their advantage of winning the election, without putting into consideration of what the post-election violence that will erupt due to INEC inability of distributing uniformly the PVC to all State of the federation, without putting the life of the electorates in the North - East of this country, which our security agents had made it known to Jega that their life will not be guaranteed except ample time of 6weeks is given, does or do not wish this country well.[/size]

what if the security situation don't improve in 6 weeks time? There is no guarantee that the security will improve in 6 weeks time. Nigeria should not let boko haram hold the country to ransom because that is the plan of boko haram and it will be a victory for boko haram.

Politicians only remember God when its time for election. At least we know he is not going to be back there anytime soon

moca:
This is getting interesting.
I read sometime ago that Inec staffs were going to people's houses to give them pvc whereas as at that time,non has been given to the southerners.
That was when I knew there is magomago.
They were halted and d news just died away.

Now,borno state, which I know front and back has more polling centers than enugu?

This is really interesting.

I know it may not be during my time but one day, we will be free from the north completely and breath fresh air.

D British made a very big mistake and I'm suure they will be regretting by now.
We hv absolutely nothing in common.

Bros, Borno is bigger than Enugu. Enugu is a small state. You need to check the map of Nigeria again.

KEVIND:
YOU LIED.every southerner & Middle Beltern knows the antics of the Hausa/Fulani man & born to rule mentality. Jonathan might not be the best but definately the alternative cannot be a 83yrs old man that overthrow a democratic elected president in 1983. Bring a better alternative & we'll all support him regardless of political affiliation.

So you want me to vote for a president that I have not personally gain anything from because he is from my south south region. A president that stole 1 thousand naira from my friends in the name of the immigration job scam. You can vote for whoever you want to but GEJ is not getting my vote even if I am the only person not to vote for GEJ in Delta State.

I think men hold pees more than women. I remember travelling from Warri to lagos and there was this lady that wanted to pee but the driver of the bus refused to stopped because it was an unsafe area. The lady was crying because she could not hold her pee anymore and almost urinated on her body before the driver agreed to stop the bus. Lol. It was a really funny experience.

MrEverest:
Yes, the elections should & must be postponed because INEC has shown that they are ill prepared for the election. A lot of anomalies & irregularities have been unearthed so time is required for corrections and clarifications, and above all Jega's integrity as an unbiased umpire has been called to question. Finally, no law will be broken if the date is extended since the constitution stipulates that election would hold anytime before 30 days to handover date.

The law has not been broken either if the election is conducted on Feb 14th. INEC claimed they are ready for the election. Why don't we all Nigerians come together to support INEC in conducting a free and fair elections so the country can move forward and focus on more important issues.

HugeMac:
IF YOU ARE FROM THE SOUTH, YOU ARE A VERY BIG MUMU AND A DISGRACE TO YOUR ANCESTORS, IF NOT , THEN YOUR STATEMENT IS UNDERSTANABLE

I am from Warri and unlike you I am not a bigot but a rational Nigerian who love my country. I cant vote for corrupt leaders like GEJ when I didn't personally gain anything from his government for over 6 yrs. Anyway, I don't argue with bigots like you because the only thing you understand is supporting politicians based on tribe so that make you a big mumu.

ollah1:
Hw won't reply you with any link. Just watch!

you don't need to reply me because you have collected your pvc and your statement that 19 million PVCs are yet to be produced is a lie. Stop over heating the politics with statements that are not truth online because this is how rumor starts.

owobokiri:
Jega needs to be put on the spot! He has to explain to Nigerians how Borno state with all the jumpy security situation in that state, recorded far more INEC PVC delivery exercise than MOST southern states!!! This is a pure heineous crime only surpassed by his weird attempt to increase northernm polling booths by over 30,000. This must be why they got rid of Azazi and co. . These hyper active fulani oligarchs together with their crumb eating Yoruba "bom boys" have been running rings arround an utterly bemused jonathan for months.

The reason Borno has a higher PVC than most southern state is because they want change and the only way they can do it is through the ballot box. I feel sorry for them because GEJ has failed them in protecting them. Most of our southern brothers don't really give a sh1t about the election. Go the streets in the southern states and ask how many plan on voting, most will tell you they don't want to vote because they don't trust the system and government. Even my parents have not collected their pvc in Warri and don't plan on voting. The election should not be postpone but should hold so the country can move on based on who ever win.

MrEverest:
I am scared & confused that all these shenanigans has been going on in secret without GEJ doing anything decisively to nip it in the bud. For an eminent personality like Ekwueme to append his signature to the communique means that these are facts! I see Nigeria dancing on the cliff of precipice!! The election must be postponed without further delay, wether Jega likes it or not. This man called Jega is nothing but a wolf in sheep's clothing, he is all over the place presenting a facade of integrity when he is nothing but an unrepentant bigot. He said he would resign if the polls are shifted then he should start writing it already because shifting it is a fait accompli. GEJ must postpone the election & put the armed forces on alert to forestall any break down of law & order especially in the north were they would attempt to use the illiterate almajiris to cause riot. Going to the polls based on the status quo is nothing but wilfully walking into a trap set by your enemy with predetermined fatal consequences. Jonathan must act now, its better to die for a cause than live for nothing!

why should the election be postpone? Please don't tell me because PVC and insecurity because I know you have collected your pvc and the boko haram insecurity problem wont be solve anytime soon.

BlackTechnology:
Ignoramus

19Million are yet to be produced

can you quote a source or link to support your statement.

BlackTechnology:
Gbam

Imagine 19million PVCs yet to be produced


19Million PVCs mostly Southerners

stop lying about 19 million pvc not yet produce. All the PVCs are ready for collection according to Jega and you just stated you have collected your pvc too

Ngokafor:
...on a serious note,I wonder how postponing this election will favour Jonathan...

...Millions of registered voters are yet to collect their PVCs because of Jega's incompetence in its distribution yet APC is insisting that elections should not be postponed for a few weeks at least.

I am almost sure that the loopsided distribution is in their favour..very dogdy party indeed...change my left foot!

millions of people have not collected their pvc because they are not serious or don't want to vote. Even if the election is move till 2019, there will still be people who wont collect their pvc.

BlackTechnology:
Illiterate

I have collected mine

What of you this underage ?

if you have collected yours then why did you say "no pvc no election" . The majority of people that have not collected their pvc are either lazy, don't plan on voting, dead or commited fruad by registering multi time. INEC has givenenough time for serious people to get their pvc and they still have till 13th Feb. Election must hold

BlackTechnology:
Tell your Boko Haram sympathetic Jega to ensure that all PVCs are produced and distributed at places where people registered to allow for easy collection

#NoPVCnoElection

mor0n, why don't you go and collect your pvc like everyone else or you want INEC to come to your house to give you your pvc. you are not really serious because PVC is ready but people like you don't want to go collect it.

I am ashamed with leaders like South South leaders E.K Clark. Rather than support and encourage Prof Jega . they are busy tarnishing his image n the pages of newspaper. I don't think there is any grand conspiracy to victimize GEJ. The reason there is low PVC collection in the south is because there is very low voters apathy in the south compare to the north. In fact, I predict that there will be more voters turn out in the south than in the north. Most people I know in the south, including me, don't even plan on voting. Whats the point going to vote for the same corrupt leaders who don't really care about the people.

Also, I don't see any reason why the north should not have more polling center because they have more LGA, States and population than the south. Prof. Jega is trying his best to conduct election in Nigeria and I think all Nigerians should support him.

eaglechild:
Remind me where Sambo is from again.

When GEJ wins Kano many people with memory loss will start crying.

people like you should not be commenting on the political sector on this forum. You are so clueless about Nigeria politics that you don't know where Sambo is from. The chances of GEJ winning Kano is like Buhari winning Bayelsa. Buhari used over 1 million vote in kano to win GEJ in 2011.
