PoliticsRe: Jonathan In Closed-door Meeting With Abdusalami, Mbeki by stephengee(m): 11:17pm On Mar 08, 2015
makzeze:
Fellow citizens,
I address you once again in the course of our nation's history. I am disillusioned, disenchanted, disturbed and disorganized by the magnitude and intensity of corruption exhibited by the Jonathan's administration. I am bold to say without reservations that the government of Gooduck Ebele Jonathan is the most corrupt in the history of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I give you reasons why any Nigeria who has got blood flowing through his vains and not kerosine should not commit the satanic sacrilage of voting for Jonathan or the PDP. These economic cankaworms, financial scavengers and national devourers have succeeded in rewinding our national life by 20 years. The anointing of Deziani Alision Madueke(Minister Of Petroleum) by president Jonathan as the untouchable, uncrowned Prime Minister of Nigeria elucidates the degree of the looting of national treasury. This massager of Mr president (Deziani) has been indicted by six(6) reports namely:
1- The Farouk Lawal Report
2- The Senate Report on Subsidy
3- KPMG Report on the oil sector
4- The Aik Imuokhode Report
5- The Ribadu Report
6- The NEITI Report
Despite all these indictments, the darling favourite of Mr president is every wednesday immaculately attired and cosmopolitantly fashioned in DIAMONDS attending the Federal Executive Council Meeting under the watchful eyes of an unperturbed and conquered president. Suffice me therefore to explain why the almighty petroleum ministry under Jonathan have niether minister of state or Special Adviser. FCT ministry as small as it is have a Minister of State. The same petroleum ministry under president Obasanjo had four(4) ministers namely:
The substantive Minister, the Minister of State, Minister of State Gas and Minister of State Energy. Yet with a special Adviser ( Late Alhaji Rilwan Lukman) today, Deziani is the alfa and omega in the petroleum industry and the national treasurer of PDP and the presidential campaign. Now with this massive inredeemable and record breaking looting of our common patrimony, who ia that sane Nigerian who support a man who on national TV defended his demented proposition that stealing is not corruption? Nigerians must come out of thier gullible cocoons and operate in an active mileau. Say NO to the man who meet dollar at #119 and today is #225. Vote out the man who petrol at #65 and is today sold for over #90. Resist the party that says 16 is great than 19. Sweep out the man who granted clemency to corrupt Nigerians and villified the honest. In 2010, lagos-Abuja by air is #15,000, today is #35,000 by Arik. Femi Fanikayode, Reuben Abati and Doyin Okupe should all learn from the experience of Labaran Maku. No amount of pacakaging, window dressing, boju-boju and bolekaja politics will redeem or sell rotten eggs. Good rediance to bad rubbish. Mr president, Otuoke by road, safe journey.

How are we to believe what you posted above is real? Bearing that in mind, you witnessed an event with no venue and you expect us to believehuh Let's pretend I believe, jumping queue in Nigeria is not corruption. I need not explain because GEJ has the best answer to this. Beating a fuel attendant and the manager of the fuel station could not do a thing about it because they are customershuh

Ordinary beating is not corruption and so ordinary queue jumping.

On a more serious note, the Change should indeed start from us but there will always be bad eggs among the good ones. An example of Change so far is that of the ruling party that has become the opposition party overnight.
should the venue of the incident make it believable? the truth is u simply don't want to. 'there is always bad eggs among the good ones' AGREED. But who are the good ones?

With the fact that he had APC painted all over his car and his personality, I could only guess he's probably one of those who were chanting that GEJ is a fool and doesn't know wha he is doing, how can GEJ say "stealing is not corruption, corruption is corruption, stealing is stealing" and so forth!!

PoliticsWhy Nigerians Must Reject The Second Coming Ofbuhari by stephengee(op): 12:36pm On Mar 04, 2015
When Muhammadu Buhari overthrew a
democratically-elected government in a coup d”etat
in 1983, Sani Abacha declared in his infamous radio
broadcast: “(Our) health services are in shambles
as our hospitals are reduced to mere consulting
clinics without drugs, water and equipment.”
However, Buhari did not address the shambolic
Nigerian health system in his two years in power. In
a Vanguard article of 7th February, 2015,
Ambassador Ignatius Olisemeka said of Buhari: “He
entrusted to me the care and welfare of his family-
he sent his wife and two children to me in
Washington D.C. for medical treatment. His family
were with me in Washington D.C. when the General
was overthrown in a coup d’état.”
Thus, while Buhari was grandstanding as Mr. Fix-It,
he sought medical care surreptitiously for his family
in the United States, instead of fixing the Nigerian
health system. This typifies the hypocrisy and
insincerity of Buhari as an agent of change. It is all
smoke and mirrors. It is the same duplicity
whereby he claimed to be the apostle of anti-
corruption even while being complicit in the
smuggling in of 53 suitcases at Murtala Mohammed
Airport, Lagos in the middle of a currency change.
Buharinomics
Buhari’s grandstanding must not be allowed to go
unchallenged today, now that he is seeking election
under the same kind of democratic system he
truncated and trashed in the past. We must not
allow Buhari to sweep his ignominious past under
the carpet of a bogus mantra of “change.” Indeed,
there is something anomalous about presenting a
72 year-old former military dictator as a change
candidate. What kind of change can be represented
by an old has-been?
In his first coming, the “changes” Buhari brought
were to Nigeria’s detriment. Under him, the Nigerian
economy went from bad to worse. Our national debt
rose from $14 billion to $18 billion in less than two
years; with the result that Nigeria was no longer
able to meet its financial obligations to global
bankers. We had to queue for essential
commodities, such as bread and milk, which were
hard to find. Raw materials and spare parts needed
to keep factories running were scarce. Rather than
create jobs, tens of thousands of workers lost their
jobs. Inflation rose to the astronomical level of 40%;
while it is now 7.9% under Jonathan.
When Buhari seized power in 1983, Nigeria’s GDP
was $444.45. When he was overthrown in 1985,
Nigeria’s GDP had dropped dramatically to $344.14.
That is not the kind of change we want. When
Goodluck Jonathan became president in 2010,
Nigeria’s GDP was $369. By 2014, it had grown
dramatically to $510.
Buhari is going around complaining about the recent
devaluation of the naira. However, when he took
over in 1983, one dollar exchanged for 0.724 naira.
But by the time he was overthrown in 1985, one
dollar exchanged for 0.894 naira. That is 23%
devaluation in barely two years. However, when
Jonathan took over in 2010, one dollar exchanged
for $167 naira. Five years later, it is now $202.55.
That is a devaluation of 21% in five years.
It is not surprising, therefore that, when Buhari was
overthrown in 1985, there was wild jubilation
throughout the length and breadth of the country.
Unleashing the dogs and the baboons
One of the first things Buhari did when he seized
power in 1984 was to gag the press. Decree 4 was
promulgated making even the publishing of the truth
a criminal offence. Under it, Nduka Irabor and
Tunde Thompson were jailed maliciously in a
manner designed primarily to intimidate the press.
Under Buhari, the SSS came looking for me
because I published an article in National Concord
entitled: “Counter-trading Nigeria’s Future;”
criticizing the government’s return to the stone age
economic policy of trade by barter which resulted in
even greater fraud than import licensing. Buhari is
now angling to return to power under a democratic
setting. But has this leopard changed its skin? In
spite of his carefully crafted makeover by his
American handlers, has Buhari changed from his
anti-democratic ways?
All the evidence suggests he has not. Buhari is not
even president and he is already fighting the press.
Recently, he threatened to back out of the Abuja
Peace Accord concluded with Goodluck Jonathan
and the PDP because he was upset about the
insults and attacks he was receiving. He warned
that no one should regard his “patriotic commitment
to maintaining national peace” for weakness.
Buhari’s handlers declared: “We cannot continue to
guarantee the tolerance limit of our teeming
supporters nationwide who are daily being
inundated with death wish commentaries on the
person of General Muhammadu Buhari.” What
exactly does this mean? Is Buhari now going to
unleash his infamous dogs and baboons on
Nigerians? This is why it would be foolhardy to
mortgage the freedoms we have come to enjoy
under the democratic dispensation by handing
power back to a man who is intolerant of criticism.
Let us juxtapose Buhari’s short fuse to the
disposition of Goodluck Jonathan. Jonathan must be
the most wrongly vilified president in the history of
Nigeria. He has been called all kinds of names by
his traducers. He has been abused, reviled and
condemned by APC stalwarts. His motorcade has
been stoned. His campaign posters have been torn
down. His campaign ground has been bombed. His
wife has been maligned. How has he responded to
all this?
Jonathan responded by signing the Freedom of
Information bill. In effect, instead of gagging the
press, in the tradition of malevolent dictators like
Buhari, he has freed the press even more; allowing
it to criticize his government without hindrance. In
every way possible for the past five years,
Jonathan has assured and reassured Nigerians that
freedom of expression is our inalienable right.
The myth of Buhari’s northern popularity
One of the lies of the Buhari campaign is the
pretense that he has cornered the Northern vote.
Nothing could be further from the truth. As a matter
of fact, in this election, Buhari is not the choice of
the North. The Northern political elite don’t want
Buhari to be president. The North did not vote for
him in the APC presidential primaries. The Northern
vote went instead to Rabiu Kwankwaso and Atiku
Abubakar. Buhari was elected primarily with
Southern ACN votes.
Let me ask some pertinent questions. How many
Northern elites have we seen recently campaigning
for Buhari? We have seen Tinubu following Buhari
around. We have heard Obasanjo and Soyinka
pitching their tents with him. But the Northern elite
have largely kept mum. Governors Fashola,
Oshiomole and Amaechi of the South have been
busy singing choruses of praise about Buhari, but
Northern governors are mute. Atiku and
Kwankwaso have largely kept their distance from
him.
Why are they not shouting on the rooftops for
Buhari? The truth is that the Northern elite have
never liked Buhari. Therefore, it is not in their
interest for him to become president. Buhari’s
grandstanding on anti-corruption resonates with the
poor, but not with the Northern elite. Should Buhari
become president, most of the current Northern
presidential hopefuls can no longer be president in
their lifetime. Eight years of Buhari presidency
would swing the presidency back to the South for
another eight years. But these Northern bigwigs
don’t have 16 years to wait in the wilderness. Some
of them would even have kicked the bucket by then.
It is better for them to wait for Jonathan to finish his
second-term in 2019, at which time they would be
able to contest for the presidency without having to
deal with an incumbent president. What they need
now is the assurance that it would then be the turn
of the North. In that eventuality, South-South
support for a Northern presidential candidate would
be imperative. 2015 is not the time to jeopardize
this.
The strategic partnership of the North and the
South-South has been the enduring decimal of
Nigerian elections. The South-South has supported
the North in every election, except when its own
son, Goodluck Jonathan, was on the ballot. The
North must be careful not to betray that partnership,
if for no other reason than that it will need it again in
the near future. It must be careful not to betray that
partnership because Jonathan has done far more
for the North in his five years in power than he has
for any other part of the country, including the
South-South. In short, there is no excuse for
Northern denial of support for Jonathan in 2015.
The federal government’s mid-term assessment of
its development investment shows that the
investment in the North-West and the North-
Central zones alone amounted to 792 billion naira;
nearly double those of the South-West, South-South
and South-East put together, which amounted to
403 billion naira. If the North fails to support
Jonathan in the coming presidential election, in
spite of Jonathan’s obvious discrimination in favour
of the North, it can bid farewell to South-South
support in the future.
With all the noise about Buhari’s popularity with the
talakawa in the North, we have not heard anything
that he has ever done, or would do, for them. When
he was head of state between 1984 and 1985, he
did absolutely nothing for them. In the unlikely event
that Jonathan becomes president, it would not take
long before there would be rioting among the
Northern poor out of dashed and betrayed hope.
The man who has transformed the life of the poor in
the North has been Goodluck Jonathan. Jonathan
built 125 Almajiri Schools in 13 states in the North;
something Northern rulers like Buhari failed to do. At
the commissioning of the first Almajiri Model School
in Gagi, Sokoto State, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji
Abubakar Sa’ad III, observed that Jonathan’s action
was unprecedented in the history of Northern
Nigeria.
Jonathan also established ten new federal
universities; seven of them in the North. Jonathan
has made far more appointments of Northerners
than he has of Southerners. His transformation of
agriculture from subsistence to commercial farming
has been of primary benefit to the agrarian North.
Therefore, it will come as no surprise if Jonathan
wins more votes in the North in 2015 than he did in
2011. http://www.theopinion.ng/why-nigerians-must-reject-the-second-coming-of-buhari/

PoliticsOgbodo: The Lying Photo From Lai Mohammed by stephengee(op): 7:42am On Mar 01, 2015
IF I were the All Progressives Congress (APC), I
would not lie about the health of General
Muhammadu Buhari. If the man is actually ill and
has gone abroad to seek medical attention, the
party, through its national publicity secretary, Lai
Mohammed, or any other spokesman, should simply
say so, and not lie about it. To posture and make it
seem as if Buhari cannot fall ill because there is a
presidential election to contest and win is to make
the man appear superhuman.
All human beings must cave in to ill health and
ultimate death at some point. Everybody, including
the politicians of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), knows this. That was why the party tried to
disconnect itself from Governor Ayodele Fayose’s
‘death wish’ advertisement on Buhari.
Whether in Christian or Islamic theology, others are
required to show sympathy through prayers to
people who are ill. Even animists and atheists do
same. But nobody has said Buhari is ill and has
gone to London for medical attention. What the APC
said was that its presidential candidate left for UK
last week to continue his campaign to become
Nigeria’s president by way of interaction with
Nigerians living in UK. It was only Governor Fayose,
who has been all over the old man like a gadfly that
said Buhari was admitted to Cavendish Hospital in
London.
Because people say Fayose is always shouting
wolves when there are even no sheep in sight,
nobody took him seriously when he said that the
APC was on a mission to misinform Nigeria about
Buhari’s visit to London. Soon, pictures were floated
in the air to support the APC position that Buhari
was in London for a different purpose, which
included speaking at the Royal Institute of
International Affairs, otherwise known as Chatham
House, on his presidential ambition.
There was apparent desperation to create a
scenario that never existed regarding Buhari’s visit
to the United Kingdom. And this was where the
publicity machinery of the APC got it all wrong.
Dummies were sold to newspapers as photos of
Buhari in London. One showed him with former
British Prime Minister, Mr. Tony Blair, Ogun State
Governor, Ibikunle Amosun and former governor of
Kwara State, now a senator, Bukola Saraki. That
was confirmed real by some people. But another
captioned: Presidential Candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu
Buhari (right) with the Chief Executive Officer, All
Eyes TV Show, Kemi Fadojutimi (left), during
Buhari’s working visit to United Kingdom also came.
Coming from Mallam Shehu Garba, media director of
the Buhari Campaign Organisation and a fine
professional and Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the national
publicity secretary of the APC, I did not probe to
uncover any hidden motives. And I am sure most
editors did not, which was why either of the photos
made prime news pages last Sunday. When my
Executive Director, Mr. Toke Ibru, first mentioned it
that I had put a fake photo on the front page, I urged
caution so that we did not hastily contradict
ourselves on the right point.
But before the end of day, my phone had been
inundated with messages from readers, analysing
the graphics of the photo and saying why the shot
was taken at the Transcorp Hilton Abuja, and not a
location in the UK as claimed in the photo caption. I
tried to piece together the puzzle, but nothing was
adding up to anything meaningful. I mean, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, Mallam Sehu Garba and then fake
photographs of General Buhari in London coming
from both of them. What could be the purpose
behind that piece of propaganda? To prove that they
could do better than a Joseph Goebbels in the art of
misinformation when there was no Second World
War to prosecute and win?
Ever before Ayo Fayose left for Hilton Abuja to
conduct a ‘forensic’ investigation of the photograph
of Buhari’s media interview in London, Pat
Enechukwu, who follows this column every Sunday,
had done his and sent to me his findings: “My
brother good afternoon. Please look at that front
page photograph of Buhari critically and watch
issues I am raising. That bottled water on the table
(Aquafina) is a Nigerian product. The newspapers
are Nigerian papers with the one on top looking like
The Guardian and I mean our own The Guardian
and not London Guardian that I have bought and
read severally in London. The magazine on top is
DSTV Magazine. What’s DSTV in London and who
uses DSTV in London?”
Governor Fayose did something far more
comprehensive and after watching him debunk the
controversial photo with striking facts, I was
convinced that I had been used to push forth a lie to
Nigerians. I was conned by the APC to put it lightly. I
called Shehu Garba to reconfirm the photos. He did,
dismissing the people raising issues, and I guess
that should include my Executive Director, as Buhari
detractors. We went ahead to correct the error in
our Monday, February 23 edition, in spite of Mr.
Garba and the APC. He has not called me to
straighten issues one way or the other.
I cannot understand the point the APC media
machinery was trying to make. Till date, nobody has
explained anything to whatever effect. At least, let
something, just anything, no matter how improbable,
be said. For instance, something like the devil or
more precisely the PDP, had hacked into the APC’s
works to send the lying photograph to media houses
to cause the recalcitrant APC this huge corporate
embarrassment. They just kept quiet as if nothing
was amiss. In their deafening silence, they seem to
be saying ‘we are APC; we equate truth and positive
change and nothing false comes from us.’ Or could
the aloofness and lack of remorse, even when guilt
is established, be flowing from the APC’s belief that
it has converted all newspapers in the country to its
official newsletters, where anything can be off-
loaded and no questions will be asked?
Whichever, I am still not able to figure out what the
APC was trying to hide. That Buhari wasn’t in
London for medical checks? And if I may ask, what
is wrong if Buhari falls ill and goes to London to
seek medical attention? People far less than him in
status do so even more frequently. This man we are
talking about was a head of state 30 years ago. In
case we are confusing issues, let me state clearly
that in Nigeria, no former director in the civil
service, not to talk of permanent secretary, state
commissioner, state and national legislator, minister
and governor treats even malaria at home. I mean
malaria, which is strictly a tropical disease that
does not attract good medical space in the
operations of hospitals in Europe and America. They
go abroad, even to India, to be given the same anti-
malaria combination drugs that are readily available
and more effective in Nigeria.
And so, I don’t understand the fuss about a whole
Buhari at 72 going abroad for medicals. Is he not
human? Or is it because people say he is the
messiah God has sent to save Nigeria, he has now
become a deity that does not fall ill? Buhari had
withstood the rigours of about 60 days of intensive
campaigns across the country to convince voters to
give him the mandate to be president and just when
he thought it was all over, ‘enemies’ conspired to
shift the presidential election by six weeks, which
means, more campaigns and jetting around. Not all
young men can stand straight under such intense
pressure.
Therefore, if the man ran to London to catch some
breathe after the long stretch and also used the
opportunity to run checks on his state of health
while equally squeezing in some time to talk at
Chatham House, in order to remain politically
fashionable, nothing spoil at all. The APC should
have simply said so and nobody would be hurt.
Instead, the party embarked on a deliberate mission
of misinformation to imbue Buhari with
transcendental attributes of never-sick and never-
die.
The APC can still make good points without
intrigues. Not long ago, the intrigues were of a
different colouration when news came that the
Lagos Home of the APC’s national leader, Ahmed
Bola Tinubu, was under surveillance by military
men, apparently put there by the PDP controlled
Federal Government. And then another piece of
propaganda, saying General Buhari had braved all
the odds to visit Chibok and had useful dialogues
with the folks up there. This is not the way to
represent change in Nigeria.
All said, I am still waiting for someone in the APC
camp to mount the podium and explain with good
reasons what caused the translocation that turned
Hilton Abuja to some spot in London.
Garba was to later send what he conceived to be an
explanation of the blunder yesterday, through a third
party. It still does not add up and cannot vitiate my
argument here.

Nigerian business tycoon and Africa’s richest man,
Aliko Dangote, has assuaged anxiety rising over the
present situation of the nation’s economy caused by
the declining oil revenue and political uncertainties.
Dangote, who spoke in an interview on Wednesday,
February 25, stressed that there was no need for
fear amongst numerous stakeholders as it is only
normal for every country to face challenges when
markets go through periods of booms and busts.
The business mogul added that the Nigerian
economy bears strong fundamentals which will
enable it bounce back sharply from its current
predicament.
“As long as we manage our resources properly,
even with crude oil selling at $50 per barrel, Nigeria
has the capacity to pull through because the
fundamentals are strong. So what we are going
through should just be seen as a temporary
setback,” he said.
He added the current state of the Nigerian economy
was only a temporary setback occasioned by low
commodity prices, which is but a passing phase.

francizy:
Nigerians desperately crave for change. Can we make this change ourselves. The answer is a bolded YES. Must we wait for a Messiah to help us effect change? If it was truly change we seek, we the "ordinary" people should have changed our ways long ago. I find it amusing when someone doing all sort of evil is screaming change from the sideline.

I was undecide for so long. I can bodly say that the present administration didn't favor I or any of my family members "personally", but is democracy all about personal favors? This administration did a lot of wrongs but who doesn't err as a human. I have critisized this administration in various ways but have also took time to observe the opposition.

Let's not leave out the fact that this administration performed well in some certain areas/sectors of the Nigerian economy. This administration has done a lot of things which we all know the opposition won't tag along with but being neutral helped observe all these things. From a neutral point of view, I was able to see the wrongs and the good deeds of the Goodluck Jonathan Administration. I won't actually call him a clueless person or a crook. I would just say he's a leader that believes he deserves a good living and also believes this living can be transferred down from him to the masses in any little way possible.

Now I was able to make up my mind based on the 30% of my findings about the APC and its candidate, however APC supporters helped provide me with up to 70% of what led me to conclude on who/which party to support. These are my findings about APC and APC supporters.

For the APC:

- They all know they are as bad as/worse than PDP but yet they are preaching a mediocre kind of change.

- If you are the change you proclaim to be, will you be worried about Shakau captured alive? Won't you rather just let the military do their work? Must every step taken the this administration and the army be criticized or used to produce cheap propaganda? Why will you bother about the capture of a master terrorist if not that you know you're guilty of one thing or the other relating to their activities?

- Why will you bother about a police Inspector General threatening activities of hoodlums in a state? It means you had an ulterior motive and how does rigging proffer us the change we desperately need? Why can't you let us decide if you are that change and let us do the voting?

- Am still surprised that after all these scandals and all these mischievous conducts and propaganda by the APC, people are still following them blindly.

- A day shall come when the whole truth will be right in front of us, but the ignorant will still keep a blind eye.

- This is a party I almost started supporting but thank God I didn't hastily jump into that paddy wagon full of political crooks. Thank goodness I remained undecided for long and monitored both parties.

- I've always known something was wrong when a party packaged a tyrant as a saint and presented him to the masses and funny enough, the gullible masses took him and his in. A man they never saw anything good in from 2003 - 2013 has all of a sudden become a Messiah in 2014. Strange...

For APC supporters:

-Thanks to the actions of APC supporters, thanks to their "support us or face our wrath mentality".

- Thanks to their don't ever post anything bad about us or we tag you our enemy and a bribed goon.

- Thanks to how they tag everything about them a propaganda while everything about PDP is true.

- Thanks to the attack on Barcanister which actually says a lot about them. The saying "keep your friends close and enemies closer" can be said to be true though.

- The APC supporters actually play a huge role (about 70%) in making me know how much light PDP has left in them and how much darkness lingered deep within the APC.

This year might be looked at from the future and one will say that, it's a year Buhari almost became an elected president of Nigeria.

This is more like the truth at last,the news about rest as reported by the wife sounds believable and understandable. As young as I am if I travel to all states in Nigeria to attend a rally in less than a month I just might break down needing medical check up. We are humans subject to fatigue even robots needs rest.

It is not as if some of us who passively support PDP by choice wish GMB dead (God forbid) we are only sad of being told lies in pictures.
More sad is when we can not engage in a debate with an APC supporter without being threatened and violently insulted.

It is natural to be skeptical when you are not worth being told the truth. Think about this, APC said GMB traveled on a work visit while his wife just exposed he traveled to rest for a few days by taking a break from business. These two submissions are in conflict.

I wish Nigeria the best president.
diint the both candidates starts campaigning same time. Why should he rest when gej is not resting? That's part of what we are saying,he is too old to be our President.

PoliticsObasanjo Is A Father To Me And I Am His Firstpolitical Son – GEJ by stephengee(op): 10:37am On Feb 21, 2015
President Jonathan says despite former Pres.
Obasanjo’s recent verbal attacks on his
administration, he still sees him as his father and
his first Political son. GEJ said God used people,
including the former president to make him become
the President of Nigeria. President Jonathan said
this in an interview with Tribune in Lagos
“First and foremost, Obasanjo is a father to
me. By divine providence and the grace of
God, I am the President of Nigeria today. It is
not by my strength. But God uses human
beings to actualise His own blessings on
human beings. And He used so many
Nigerians, including former President
Obasanjo, to play one role or the other for me.
I became the deputy governor of a state,
became the governor, the vice president and
president. I have no issues with him, and I
really don’t want to join issues with President
Obasanjo.
I think it is not necessary. But I will use this
opportunity, because you asked, to just plead
with my father that he is a leader, a former
president of the country. He has led the
country more than anybody, eight years of
democratic governance and almost four years
of military governance. No other person has
that kind of record. The stability of this country
is critical in terms of the economy of this
country. Rating agencies downgrade countries
that are going into elections because the
feeling is that there would be crisis. When you
paint the colour of instability for your own
nation, you are doing so much injustice to the
country because it affects the economy of the
country, not just affecting the country in terms
of security and social issues alone.
It affects the economy directly. So, I plead
with very senior citizens that Nigeria is dear to
us; we don’t have any other country than
Nigeria. So, actions and inactions, or
utterances, should be guarded so that we
don’t expose our country to the international
community as if it is a country in danger, a
country that is about to collapse. You are
frightening investors, especially those who
invest hot cash, to pull out their money from
the country and that would affect the stock
market and it would affect the economy. For
one reason or the other, Obasanjo may
disagree with me as his first political son. You
can even disagree with your own biological
children, as a human being, not to talk of
disagreeing with your political children. So, he
can agree or disagree with me, but the
utterances have to be managed in a way that
it does not affect the economy and security of
this country”he said.
On how he felt watching Chief Obasanjo destroy his
PDP membership card on the television, Jonathan
said the incident had no effect on him because the
attacks had been consistent.

You should be the one to stop the lie and stop fooling yourself. Instead of PDP telling their supporters viz masses to go collect their PVC, they end up attacking opposition. credit should be given to APC for the PVC awareness, they sponsored lots of campaign even more than National Orientation Agency. PDP are their own worse enemy. I watched lots of PDP campaign, only at very few occasion;it was mentioned.


ALL IZZ WELL
laughable comment. after APC PVC awareness, what else do u hear? APC ...CHANGE. The FG av sponsored more advert only on PVC collection without any TAN jingle. you better remove the veil of hatred from your eye against gej and hope for credible change not the one tinubu preaches to us

sincerenigerian:
Now we know why they've been running from pillar to post. They have spent more time attacking Jega and INEC than time they've spent encouraging their supporters to pick their PVCs. I have never seen or heard Jonathan advised his supporters to pick up their PVCs. Buhari on the other hand tells his supporters to pick up PVCs anytime he is given microphone to talk at campaign venues.
its because u most times change d channel whenever gej is on air so I guess u can't really see him say so. Av heard him and his campaign peepz say this time without number. Pls don't spread fake info

PoliticsUs Top Think-tank, Brookings; Say Apc Is A Fragile Anti- Jonathan Setup by stephengee(op): 7:35pm On Feb 11, 2015
Brookings, the World’s most influential think-tank
based in the United States, have projected a
President Jonathan victory over the opposition
candidate’s General Buhari in the 2015 Elections
which it suggests would be keenly contested.
The analysis, context and rationale of the think-
tank’s projections is contained in the Brookings
publication titled: Foresight Africa – Top Priorities
for the continent (January 2015).
“Though the election is expected to be very
competitive, the odds still favor President
Jonathan.’
According to Brookings, the All Progressives
Congress (APC) is a fragile anti-jonathan
establishment with a sole purpose to return power
to the north.
“The party is, however, a fragile one that seems
united only in its quest to wrest the presidency from
Jonathan or to have power “returned” to the north”
“The APC gets much of its strength from tap- ping
into anti-Jonathan sentiments in the Muslim north
and grievances among the Yoruba who feel that the
Jonathan administration has ignored them in key
political appointments.”
The Report also indicated that the APC’s strategy is
hinged on a combination of popular votes from the
North West, North East and “the battleground
SouthWest” but also hinted at the possibility of Bola
Ahmed Tinubu not delivering the region contrary to
speculations.
“What remains to be seen, however, is whether Bola
Tinubu—a former governor of Lagos State who
played a pivotal role in the formation of the APC and
is considered to be the party’s strongest mobi- lizer
in the southwest—will be very enthusias- tic in
delivering the battleground southwest to the APC
during the elections.”
“Tinubu indicated his interest in being the party’s
vice presidential candidate but being a Muslim like
Buhari, the party’s strategists felt that a Muslim-
Muslim ticket might offend Christians and cement
the PDP’s labeling of the APC as an Islamic party.”
On President Jonathan’s performance: “despite
Boko Haram—the country is thriving: The economy
continues to grow and—with the re- basing of its
GDP—became the largest econo- my in Africa and
the 26th largest in the world. Jonathan’s supporters
also point to his success in containing the Ebola
virus, which earned him commendations from
countries and institutions around the world.”
The Brookings Report also identified factors such as
incumbency and numerical control of States where
PDP has 21 States and APC only 14 as giving PDP
an edge.
“The greatest strength of the ruling PDP is its
“power of incumbency,” and all the institutional
support that goes with it. Not only does it have
federal resources to use as patronage, it also
controls key institutions”
The report advised that all efforts should be
deployed to ensure a free, fair and transparent
elections and to avoid a meltdown as post-election
violence seems very likely.
“Post-election violence is therefore likely in the
north if the APC loses while renewed militancy in
the restive Niger Delta is likely if Jonathan does.”
the report noted.
