Continue deceiving yourselves.
Social media, words, doesn't win elections, even davido didn't vote.

It is so funny how u guys think a leader will come in, and things will immediately turn around in a country like nigeria, before a drastic change can happen, there must be sacrifices, Unbiased and non shallowminded people know that.

It was obvious from the start that a renowned international corrupt leader like atiku will not win. Buhari isn't close to being the best, (infact the best didn't get high votes), but he is far better than atiku.

from your write up there are basically two set of people that vote in this election
-The once that vote Buhari because Atiku is thief...
-The once that vote Atiku because Buhari is incompetent...

Buhari who by nature is gradually becoming a living lifeless Skeleton automatically qualifies Atiku to rule this Country...
The deeds has been done anyways, it's time to know how the NextLevel Mantra will look like, Let see if they will continue blaming PDP for 8years

No room for looterszzz
No room for looters.
Both old layers are bastards but I prefer Buhari.
It is only in his administration that a governor was put behind bars for looting.
Na for him administration where a senator. A cjn and many other top guys where put behind bars for looting. Its only in Buhari administration that efcc dug out billions of cash starched in houses.
Looters don't want him back because this time he is going to be worst. I see very many people behind bars already. Even his fellow apc members are not left out.
Sai baba till 2027. I want him to lead till he dies on the seat. Bleep looterszzzz hdjjd

Yea it was only in his regime that a President doesn't understand the technology used when Gandollar was caught red handed

Obviously a bad outing For Atikulators....

Goke7:
the likes of dele and ffk have scammed atiku. even ffk told him to fight alone for his mandate.

Life is a teacher

No scam reach the red cap movement.....
They are basically everywhere during the campaign, who would ever believe their Boss himself Kwakwanso couldn't even deliver his Polling unit to Atiku

NothingDoMe:
Ehen slynation, do you honestly believe that the Shiites voted for Buhari?

I swear they did, Those people are the biggest fools, before Election they released a statement that Buhari has ordered their immediate arrest in polling units once sighted? We all know Pagan, Shi'ite, Christianity, Muslims ain't stated on PVCs,
Last last El'zazaky must get dreadlocks for Prison, wetin concern me!!

Deapexboy:
Atiku should just flash Buhari if he does not have airtime Buhari will call him back

you madt bro

hmmmm.... Anyway personally for peace to reign, he should do just that, because Tanko won't help matters in court

APC stil winning even after final whistle....

Without stuttering nor mincing words the honest and unapologetic truth about this Election is that ALHAJI ATIKU ABUBAKAR was SCAMMED....

Many folks are busy saying APC rigged this Election but basically I'm more interested in the following people

1. The So-called over 20million people who lost their jobs across Nigeria due to the unfavourable policies that crumbled the economy resulting to massive unemployment, who did they vote for??

2. The over 9million Shi'ite members who pledged allegiance for Atiku before the election, who did they vote for??

3. Number 3 are real VIP scammers, The over 5million match kwakwasiyya Red Cap movement in the North, who did they vote for?? Kwakwanso himself didn't even deliver his PU for Atiku, Another Ali modu sheriff in disguised, I can stake my remaining scrotum before 29th May, this man will decamp back to APC, Tambuwal proved he was inconsequential in all ramifications, Obasanjo is the worst, this man deceived Atiku into contesting for an already lost Election
in advance

4.The over 30million Social Media Chest beaters wailing Buhari Must Go anchored by Davido Adeleke who did not only vote on that day but later tweeted from a foreign land "unlike you, I have a better job to do" on an Election Day Davido why

So you can now see why Erigga said they have used Nigeria pant for yahoo yahoo, because it's virtually affecting everybody in one way or the other....

Before the Election One can easily deduce ATIKU will become the new President main looking at the aforementioned reasons, Honestly speaking we deserved what we got from the outcome of this Election, But never take the easy route (Lagoon or Sniper) In life, Change is Constant..

Clerverly:
Corrintians Modath Nonsobaba

I wonder why u calling ur fellow zombie stakeholders, to do what exactly, The best they can do is to display their stupidity as usual, but Obi is stating the fact here, I know the kinda investments the Igbos gat all over Nigeria, If all those projects are being executed in the South East, S.E states shoulda been more dapper than even the capital of this Country, but like I always say, An Igbo man is the problem of its tribe...

Exactly.... The Igbos are mostly victims in any crisis affected areas, Kano and Kaduna state for instance, Any little provocation, hoodlums are quick to burn down their businesses.
Someone will still come to tell me I'm promoting tribalism when it's the facts, Buh ask about me, I de give people online slaps

Wow.... This phone gonna be a topnotch

Msteeeeeeeew..... Rubbish

Curlieweed:
On the contrary, that will be the ultimate anti-corruption measure ever.

NNPC has been the hot bed of corruption like forever. Sell it and obliterate corruption. Why do you think OBJ and Mumuharri acted as Ministers for Petroleum?

Regarding, the Forex non-issue, the new owners will still sell their forex in the market. Moreover, the government will still receive its 85% Petroleum Profit Tax as well as 10% Royalty all payable is US$. There shouldn’t be much of a short fall in that regards. The proceeds from the sale of the corporation will also be in Forex. Actually, the Saudis are planning a similar sale for Saudi Aramco.

Mai! I am almost sounding like an Atiku supporter but the economic reasoning is unassailable.

Yea bro....Just like i said in a thread earlier, what if Privatizing NNPC is the best option, because we all know government owned properties are often misused

NothingDoMe:
You the quoted the whole post!

Lol.... my head is filled up for today and the epistle was way too long to digest, so I had to summarize

This is Critically critical.....!! I'm Atikulated but seems like Atiku shot himself on the leg with this proposal.

Lizzysamuel:
With the rescheduled presidential election a few days away, the social media has come alive again (as if it was ever sleep). In a broadcast that has been trending since Monday, Muhammadu Sanusi II, the emir of Kano, is quoted to have asked Nigerians to vote for Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Since the emir had made statements that appeared critical of the economic policies of President Muhammadu Buhari in the past, it was not too difficult to believe the message which has been trending.

He was speaking on Friday, February 15, at the Kano central mosque during a special prayer session for peace during and after elections. District heads and imams and scholars were present at the early morning session. TheCable has now secured the audio tape of Sanusi’s remarks, which were in Hausa.

THE CLAIM

The emir was quoted to have said: “It is not always easy to have a leader who has both integrity and capacity to govern – two important qualities of a leader. If a leader does not have both integrity and capacity to govern, choose the one that has the capacity to govern because his capacity to govern will benefit the people while his lack of integrity will be his own harm. If you choose a man who has integrity without capacity to govern, his lack of capacity to govern will harm the people while his integrity will only benefit himself.”

According to the interpretations on social media, Buhari is the leader with “integrity without capacity to govern” while Atiku is the one with “capacity without integrity”. Sanusi said Nigerians should “choose the one that has the capacity to govern because [this] will benefit the people while his lack of integrity will be his own harm”. But the one that lacks capacity, he said, “will harm the people while his integrity will only benefit himself”. The implication of the statement is that he as endorsing Atiku, according to those circulation the quote.

THE BACKGROUND

What Sanusi said is in line with Islamic law and practice, according to a Muslim scholar who spoke off-the-record with TheCable.

Ahmad bin Hambal, the 8th century Muslim jurist regarded as “the most significant exponent of the traditionalist approach in Sunni Islam”, was asked: “Who’s more appropriate to lead? A trustworthy weak leader or an immoral strong leader?” He replied: “As for the trustworthy weak leader, his trustworthiness is to himself, but his weakness is to the disadvantage of the nation. While the immoral strong leader, his immorality is to himself, while his strength is to the advantage of the nation”.

These were the words quoted by the emir of Kano in his remarks and this is the standard Islamic political thought, according to the scholar. Ahmad is the founder of one of the four Sunni schools of Islamic law and jurisprudence. His position has been articulated well many jurists in the past, including Ibn Taimiyya who said if a leader is incompetent and weak he cannot be chosen just because he is honest or has integrity. If a more competent candidate is available even if he is not as honest, he will be a better leader.

THE VERDICT

By the ordinary meaning of the quotes used by the emir, he did not expressly endorse Atiku. However, many will take it as a cryptic message aimed as discouraging support for another term for Buhari. Given that there are other candidates in the race but only two are considered to be realistic choices, narrowing down the beneficiary of Sanusi’s message to Atiku appears to make sense. Still, the emir can flatly deny overtly endorsing Atiku — and he would be correct, technically.

THE FULL REMARKS


Reproduced below is the English translation by TheCable of the remarks made by Sanusi on Friday, February 15, at the Kano central mosque during a special prayer session for peace during and after general election

I wish to use this opportunity to extend my profound gratitude to the clerics who have been praying for sustainable peace in our country. May the God Almighty heed their prayers and may He reward them. I pray God Almighty will continue to be with them as they continue to guide the people. May He continue to guide them.

We are all aware of recent occurrences in Kano in this period of elections. Youths were seen around the city yesterday brandishing weapons and harassing people. Roads were blocked for people coming into the city. We are praying and will continue to pray for peace.

It has become pertinent to remind politicians of their responsibilities. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) stated that you have to tie your camel and then rely on God Almighty. It is not possible for one to be praying for the peaceful conduct of the elections and at the same time to be issuing dangerous weapons and illicit drugs to thugs and direct them to go and fight. It is wrong before God Almighty to do that.

More so, the intimidating statements by politicians threatening to shed blood and kill people is similar to destroying the prayers we are offering. I wish to call on the security agencies, we shall continue to pray but it is also binding on them to tie the camel for us. They should be steadfast and ensure that the youths brandishing weapons about and the leaders arming them should be made to face the wrath of the law as no one can be above the law.

Whosoever is seen to be advocating bloodshed and it comes to be implemented, irrespective of who he is should be arrested and prosecuted accordingly. We hereby call on the general public enlighten the youths to know that no politician is worth shedding the blood of another person for.

This is a democracy under which whosoever is elected will be in office for only four years. You should be patient, if you loose it will take only four years for you to try your luck again. The 2015 election is today like an event that took place just yesterday and we are now talking about 2019. If you are patient it will come to pass if God Almighty gives us the long life to see it.

Therefore whosoever contests and loses should be patient for those years. When the time comes he will then contest again, maybe that is the time Almighty God might have slated for his success.

But for one to insist that it has to be his time is wrong. Even here in Kano we have had an incumbent governor that lost election and had to wait for eight years to come and complete his second term in office. We have seen it and are witnesses to the fact that it is only when the God Almighty wills that you can get want you are aspiring for. If He does not will you will not be.

Under the system operating it is not the thugs that vote, it is not the police that vote, it is not INEC that votes, it is the public that are the voters. Everyone should be allowed to vote and whosoever is voted for should be hoped to be the right choice accordingly.

We are therefore calling on political leaders, both those in government and those in the opposition to remember the saying of Almighty Allah that whosoever kills another unjustly is the same as killing the entire humanity (quotes the Qu’ran).

Whosoever feels he can deliberately kill a fellow Muslim because of politics, or because something or because of a position he is aspiring for or a position he wants to retain, he should remember the saying of God Almighty (quotes the Qu’ran) that whosoever deliberately kills a believer God Almighty has promised him five things.

Firstly, he will be rewarded with hell fire. Secondly, after entering it he shall dwell therein forever. Thirdly, he shall remain under the anger of God Almighty. Number four, he is cursed by God Almighty. Number five, even as he dwells in hell fire, he shall face most terrifying chastisement. Oh you people, whosoever feels there is something in this world, or a position that is worthy enough for him to be placed in this chastisement should go ahead and do it.

Part of our everyday prayer is that God Almighty should not grant the aspiration of whosoever is planning to upset the people of Kano, or to shed the blood of the people of Kano, or to destroy the property of Kano. May the God Almighty deny whosoever wants to cause chaos any position he is aspiring for. May the God Almighty return the evil wishes of all those wishing us evil. May He reward whosoever comes with good wishes for us.

We call on all mosques to engage in special prayers seeking the God Almighty not grant the wishes of any politician that is planning to shed blood. I want to make it categorically clear that we will never support any politician with primordial sentiment, one that would want use his position to cause anarchy. We are also praying to God to let hell befall on such a politician whose aim is to set fire on the house of peace, based on parochial considerations.

It is most compelling for the Muslim ummah to embark on prayers in mosques and other places of worship to pray for the fall of any politician who wants to use bloodshed and chaos in seeking political office. We are not the type of people who take solace in supporting dastardly acts. Governance is all about protecting people’s lives and properties, in addition to safeguarding their credibility, honour and prestige.

We are also reminding and reprimanding district heads and imams not to engage in partisan politics. Even though one is free to express his opinion as ordained by the constitution, but we still find it wrong for imams and district heads to stand on the podium to bare their respective opinions on the candidate of their choice.

Our contention is that in time of acrimony, we are the people expected to wade in and that when we wade in, we will do justice to the party oppressed. We are only expected to employ simple diplomatic finesse in resolving any dispute based on the teachings of Islam. Whatever one says, would be misconstrued to mean another thing.

Sometime back, we called on people to elect knowledgeable people to various positions of authority, a call misconstrued by journalists to mean that we are calling for people with high certificate to be elected. I am not in any way bothered by such a hue and cry. Even God himself had ordained such an act.

People must be guided in electing those to lead them. The criteria for that election should be based on education which had been a common trend all over the globe. When you elect a president you must ensure that he knows what he is doing. When you elect a governor, you must ensure that he knows what he is doing. When you elect a legislator, you must ensure that he knows what he is doing. One should not make a wrong choice in electing leaders to the positions I mentioned.

You are not expected to elect bench warmers to represent you at the national assembly. When English is spoken they don’t understand. When laws are made, they don’t understand. When budget is presented, they are ignorant of the contents involved.

We have to fulfill certain obligations, as far as leadership is concerned. A leader is expected to be energetic, healthy and physically fit. One with the acumen to lead. When we fulfill such obligation we have no cause for any jittery. Remember, our focus should be on one ever ready to uphold public trust and be able to guard public purse, not the one who would pay credence to bloodbath. Once one does not possess such qualities, he or she is not qualified to lead.

We want district heads, village heads, imams and ward heads to sensitize their followers on the right calibre of people to vote for their lives to be protected and their blood not spilled. As Scholars always say, it is not always easy to have a leader who has both integrity and capacity to govern – two important qualities of a leader. If a leader does not have both integrity and capacity to govern, choose the one that has the capacity to govern because his capacity to govern will benefit the people while his lack of integrity will be his own harm. If you choose a man who has integrity without capacity to govern, his lack of capacity to govern will harm the people while his integrity will only benefit himself.

Incompetence is a great disservice to humanity, because an incompetent leader destroys everything. So one has to focus attention on electing the most honest and competent leaders to lead them. Failing to do that would expose their future to great danger and risk. This is what Allah and his Holy Prophet said and ordained us to do. No more no less.
