Reminds me of the saying that GMB winning the election will reduce corruption by 25%. I even heard some thieves are already returning their loots. Buhari is not just a name but a BRAND.

Sai Baba

Sai Buhari

Buhari has time without number insisted on the rule of law in all national affairs. So I don't see him interfering in the process at all.

However, the problem is; legally or illegally, Fayose does not stand a chance against the law makers.

The steps in impeaching a governor are

1. Serve a notice with charges listed.
2. Institute a committee to investigate the charges
3. The governor will be invited to defend himself
4. If found guilty, there will be a vote requiring 2/3 of the house to favor impeachment.
5. The governor stands impeached and the deputy takes over as governor(acting)

Now the issue is; any kind of charges levelled on fayose, he will be found guilty.

19 out of 28 law makers are against him.

Therefore, they have more than 2/3 to kick him out without gmb raising a finger.

POST 2015 PDP
The Presidential election has come and gone. Winner and losers emerged. Opposition APC gaining power, and the ruling PDP losing power after being in the saddle for 16 years(but 5 years in practical terms). Nobody love to lose but in defeat we have to project the future and hope for the best as 2019 is just by the corner. The "New" PDP led by Jonathan should understand that election is all about popular opinion, and it is an established fact that popular opinion isn't necessarily the best. We have four years to prove that to the electorates, I believe we would.

Opposition parties in Africa are quite infamous for squandering opportunities and not living to expectation when voted into power. This is no different from the Nigeria situation. The PDP need to come together, allow those that want to defect to the ruling party-elect to do so unhindered, keep the young people in the party together, rebrand the party by taking advantage of Jonathan's Global popularity as a Democratic Icon(whoever disagrees is on his/her own), maintain social media presence and be ready to take back power from the APC in 2019.

IMPENDING CHANGE OF FORTUNE
I am very optimistic that power will change hand in 2019 as the ruling government-elect is nothing but conspiracy by some group of undemocratic political oligarchs that are bent on wrestling power from the outgoing incumbent to further their selfish political and self-economic interests using General Muhammadu Buhari as a front and media propaganda as weapon. When the joy of electoral victory is over and the business of governance set in from May 29, the real intention of the Buhari backers will begin to emerge though the manifestation may take some months or up to a year. The battle to control the machinery of the party(APC) and the government among the political oligarchs will emerge on one hand. On another hand there will be the inevitable confrontation between overbearing party leaders and elected/appointed officials. The in-fighting will directly or indirectly have effect on the government performance because there will be lots of sabotage from government officials(moles) that are loyal to the kingmakers within the party. All these coupled with unrealistic proposed social policies of Buhari's incoming government, the masses expectations are bound to erode and discontent brew as a result.

THE GOVERNMENT-ELECT OF APC
The APC took advantage of public discontent with some of the policies of Jonathan's government to launch propaganda and successfully won public sympathy. The party was NEVER founded on any ideology but on the platform of grabbing power from the incumbent President Jonathan and PDP, hiding under the slogan of change. Similar scenario played out in Tunisia and Egypt. Just like it ended for the "now opposition" in both countries, so it will be for the incoming ruling party APC, because no change can come through undemocratic, unpatriotic and non-ideological element as embodied in the APC. Propaganda can go thus far but can never reach a permanent destination. I hope the good people of Nigeria are ready to face what they signed up for.

TWO PRECEDENTS IN AFRICA
Egypt: In 2011 the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood took advantage of the discontent in Egypt to mobilise Egyptians in a popular uprising. The people of Egypt were determined to remove every Mubarak's element from power. Muhammed Morsi who was/is the leader of opposition Freedom and Justice Party(Muslim Brotherhood) promised better lives for Egyptians. in his own words, "I hope the people will choose me, an Islamist candidate from the Freedom & Justice party and Muslim Brotherhood, and God willing the system will move towards stability and development.". He was elected President by popular votes (51.73%) in June 2012. However exactly one year after ie June 2013, the same Egyptians that brought him to power took to the street to call for his ouster. Hope of a change under Morsi eluded, they couldn't wait for the end of the term. The Army led by Abdel Fattah Sisi struck amid wild jubilation. Sisi-mania was birthed. The people went further to call on Sisi to seek election in 2014, he was elected and the people are happy. Note, Sisi has always been an ally of exPresident Hosni Mubarak.

Tunisia: Like Egypt, Tunisians rose to popular uprising calling for the ouster of exPresident Ben Ali in 2011. The opposition led by Mohamed Marzouki took advantage to clinch power riding on public sentiment. He was later elected President in 2011. Three years later he was kicked out by the same people. Mr Ali Beji Essebsi, a longtime ally of exPresident Ben Ali was elected President in December 2013.

CONCLUSION
I welcome APC and look forward to see them assume power come May 29. They should be assured that some of us will stick to the PDP and take advantage of its national spread. We shall define the party and embrace our role as the new opposition. By the grace of God, Nigerians will in their numbers bring us back to power in 2019. I appeal to young people and supporters of the PDP to stick with the party. Let us rebuild. PDP Shall Lead Again...



Long Live "New" PDP
God Bless Nigeria

I would have believed all that you said if not for the fact that you made a very poor judgment regarding who wins Lagos and the entire presidential election.

If pdp ever gets better, credit will be given to apc for putting up such a formidable opposition. They set the standards for how politics should be done.

PDP. Did all the insults, the sponsored all the image bashing documentaries, they made all the boastful comments, they imposed all their candidates. However, in the midst of all these,

Apc conducted the most transparent primaries, they didn't respond to the tantrums of pdp, they called for transparent government, they didn't buy endorsement, they against all odds got a credible presidential candidate. They ran a clean and credible campaign.


Pdp has nothing on apc, even God is to judge, then pdp is the guilty party. If APC will be half as corrupt as PDP, then pdp will have to wait longer to retake power. Cos as far as I'm concerned, pdp is dead and buried.

Naso doyin talk say apc no go last for one year and he become confirmed basteerd. Same goes to barcanista. The way apc will change naija, u no go believe ur ears.

Nobody will ever rally around gej because he is a failure. He is an accidental politician hence he will retire to nothingness in the politics of Nigeria.

I would rather the youth evolve a new party with a different name. Not a rebranded PDP

This man must be truly funny. Ppl around himm are always laughing silly.

I'm loving this

This is interesting.

Yes. Now sanity will return .

doctokwus:
U have spoken well and spoken my mind.There were no elections in virtually all regions in d ss and se and many want us to celebrate GEJ and INEC.
The only thing that brought GMB his win was d great determination of Nigerians and God.
Despite our party affiliations we must all stand up to condemn and demand re run elections in Rivers, delta,Akwa Ibom,anambra,abia and parts of Enugu; in their respective nass elections.
I don't for eg like d foolish alliance APGA went into with PDP and feel their loss serves them right;but one should not tolerate a situation where their candidates lost out in a wanton show of rigging.
One of d agendas buhari also to carry out is ensure elections are totally free and fair because what GEJ has given us,eventhough there has been incremental improvements, since 2007,is still being marked by massive irregularities, most especially in d ss and se.

Was it not surprising that card reader was 70% succcess in the North and Sw but 80% failure in the SS and SE?

Wetin consain me.
GMB don win and Igbo won't be senate president

Is that all he had to say. What transition? GEJ is a poor speaker gaskiya. He was talking about transition instead of hand over. Kweye kweye ex president. #KickedOut.

Oh boy. This our first lady is over classy mehn.

Blind Trust: Tales of Cluelessness

Sai Baba!!! Daz all I can say.

I'm sure Buhari will work with the best hands. Unlike jona who uses public offices to compensate thugs., gmb will use them to reward geniuses.

obailala:
Wow!.. Where has this man been hiding all these while? I suppose he must have distanced himself from politics because of the embarrassing manner in which the PDP has been ruling ruining the country.

Thank God he has resurfaced. These are the kind of SS and SE leaders who should be representing us in Abuja, not the likes of GEJ, Orubebe, TAORJI, Asari etc.

Nigeria shall be great again!

GEJ is a hero of democracy ooo. He conceded defeat.

Na who him be? The only popular name I saw him mention is Goodluck Jonathan. Are the other ppl nairalanders?

Hmmm. Na wah oooooh. They should invite me na. I can speak for Buhari.

Soja go soja come, barracks remain. Those top generals will be packing their things now cos they know. A change of regime usually means a purge of certain institutions especially this regime that is coming wth brooms.

Now they ve started shi'in

Greedy stingy dude. Dem for kill am.

These people should calm down jooor. He is still president elect till may 29. They should wait till after the swearing in.

The story is not complete. What happened is that when GEJ heard of the orubebic display, his wings sprouted and he flew up in the sky only to be seen by whom he wills.

He got to the ICC and made himself visible to only elder Godsday who was orubebizing.

With his two hands on his chest and his body fully suspended in the air, he shook his head as if to say 'No no no, let peace reign'

Suddenly, elder godsday felt a certain inexplicable tranquility obviously occasioned by the sight of his saintly master. That appeased him and he got pacified.

Having done that, Saint Jona said nothing again as he flew out heading back to the villa.

On getting back, he inspired into the heart of a stammerer to call GMB so they could speak. Lo and behold, the stammerer could now speak fluently but with signs showing that he is new to smooth talking.

And that was when gej congratulated gmb and peace reigned across the seven seas.

ozoigbondu:
After six months if buhari change govt does not deliever with all this hype..........he will be properly baptized

Which instution did PDP destroy......this same PDP that ‘destroyed’ instutions for 16 years are d new agents of change

Yes you will baptize him but your rants will just end here. In the end, people will see you as being nothing bt orubebeic.

ozoigbondu:
ls that an excuse l hate excuses he must achieve at.least 25% success in these areas within 6 months(180 days)

1,Fight corruption in all political parties in Nigeria
2,Makes the value of one naria equal to one dollar
3,Feed all primary school students and ensure five thousand naira alert is recieved by 25million youths monthly
4,Stablize world oil price
5,Create 10milion jobs
6,Working refineries
7,Stop importation of oil
8;Crush bokoharam
9,Bring back our girls
10,15 hours eletricity for now

Or else..............

My advise for you: If you start this early, you risk dying before your time. May 29 is still very far away.. So if you expect all these things, it is okey but you can remove gmb until after four years. So wait for two years then you cant start yapping.

goodmorning40:
Is this for real? Who is in the box?

Nothing is inside. It is just the flag that symbolizes pdp. It is now a norm everywhere.

Today it was an effigy of gej that was being beaten mercilessly.

See northern youth performing burial rites for PDP. Could this election be the revolution?

Yeah! The change is here, let's move forward. Asari is on his own.

Seconded. No tolerance for underperformance.

The man has been off the grid for a while now. Where is he?

Unfortunately I didn't watch it live. Great speech..


Thank God we are not having the usual 100 points agenda balderdash this time. Just simple surgical approach; security, corruption and employment. Shikena

No way. He will be veeery unpopular in PDP. They will never give him the ticket. Dem dey mad?
