This is reality check.He needs much more than miracle to win this election.He had the support of the Northern governors and the emirs in 2011 hence the success he recorded in the north ie 25% of the total vote cast.As it stands at the moment,those Governors/Northerners that supported him in 2011 hoping he will not re-contest for power to return to the North are all disappointed in him.Its better for them to show solidarity with their people that never really voted Gej than to become politically irrelevant and put the life of their beloved ones and theirs in danger.Gej is a difficult candidate to sell in the north and with an average Northerners believes Gej is behind Boko haram or his government has not done enough to curtail the activities of the insurgent wrecking havoc in most part of their land,he is in for a shock.He will have to beg Tinubu for him to stand a chance cos he is not going to get 99% of total vote of south south and south east the way it was in 2011. APC has turned a National party, and also have the financial muzzle to campaign in every nooks and crannies of southern part of the country and make sure they have agents in all the pooling units across Nigeria.This is the first time PDP is facing a real opposition in an election.They have always succeeded in frustrating the mergers of main political parties.Most Nigerians have grown beyond Muslim/christian tricks,people should campaign based on their achievement and what they stands for period.

WHAT PROMINENTS NIGERIANS SAY ABOUT BUHARI

“The army after toppling our democratic regime have no option but to install Buhari as head of state so as to avoid credibility problems, especially in the sight of the international community because of his being an epitome of integrity."

– OBJ

General Muhammadu Buhari as a member of the Supreme Military Council and as Head of NNPC was by nature taciturn and introvert. But he took any work that was given to him very seriously. He is reliable as he is hardworking and honest, his path of moral probity and rectitude” Incorruptible
– President Olusegun Obasango , in his book, “Not My Will”.

“Buhari was a big brother & a father to some extent that mean nothing in life & to the nation always other than good. So, I fear no harm from him.“
– LATE YAR‘ADUA.

“Buhari was honest & sincere in all his conduct that perhaps, only very few Nigerians could match in integrity.“
–GEN. ABDUSSALAM

“Gen. Muhammadu Buhari was a true patriot, respected former head of state & elder statesman & a nationalist.“
-PRESIDENT JONATHAN.

“I have realized our collective mistake in over-throwing you. I have seen the terrible damage which our inaction caused to the Nigerian psyche. I am most sorry. Please, come and do what is best known about you. Patriotic service to the nation.“
–LATE ABACHA (PTF inaugural speech).

“If Buhari quit PTF job as he promises & as we knew him to mean his words, all along, I support the idea of scrapping PTF as no one else can do the job as him.“ –IBB

I respect Buhari. He was my Boss.He was an honorable man. And I can say this anywhere”.
-General Ibrahim Babangida.

“As a member PDP BOT, I decided personally to donate the #5,000,000 to Buhari‘s campaign organization because of my firm believe in his ability to right all the nation wrongs-
ALH. ISIYAKU IBRAHIM.

“Buhari is as clean as the book I am holding”
~ Alhaji Isiaku Ibrahim, a Member of PDP Board of Trustees @ a Book launch in Kaduna

“The issue of Gen. The Buhari‘s presidency was always being derided by the criminals who looted the nation to stupor by embarking upon a campaign of calumny so as to smear his name with a view to denying Nigerians having a leader who can improve their lots.“
–PROF. DAVID WEST.

“If the truth must be said, Buhari remain the only real threat to PDP wither he runs for the presidency or not due to his wider followership among the masses that now hit the elite circle.“

We the people of Nigeria are represented (supposedly) by the National Assembly (according to the 1999 constitution) and not a commitee constituted by the president, governors and a few bodies.

How will a president change the constitution without the National Assembly and all state assemblies? Any thing done outside the constitution will be declared null and void by the courts (just like the Interim Government of Sonekan)

Change2015:
Only an inattentive fool could have missed his rousing speech at the convention about reviving our manufacturing sector and reducing dependence on imports. He also mentioned job creation and security for the nation. Please try to stay informed.

Some SaTANist are at work again, Can someone tell me the years we have from 1978-2014? that's about 36yrs and do you think it's not possible to have another account between then and now? How many banks did we have have then? There are some insider's who are GMB supporters who will be feeding the likes of Buhari news about what is going on in NNPC and other Government organisation

lekkie073:
There will be no more corrupt government practices followed with the introduction of sharia nationwide

6 years of rule, Jonathan constructed railway on the paper which made Alh Ameachi unable to transport on the rail. 6 years of rule, economy of Nigeria became number one on the paper, which made average Nigerian to still be living under $1 per day. 6 years of rule, Jonathan created work thru promises of the mouth which made about 16 people died tragically looking for immigration job around March. 6 years of rule, a leader who swore an oath to protect his country but never did and using opposition as an excuse everytime. 6 years of rule, a leader became sixth African richest president, 6 years of rule, a leader who created more universities but ASUU were on strike for six good months! 6 years of rule, a government who promised to sanitise the whole system from corruption, but some are saying GEJ fought corruption in Agriculture and left PENSION scam, Fuel subsidy scam, Stella Oduah's Scam, Diezani's scam, Lawal Farouk scam, Oritsejafor scam, Abacha son's scam, Fayose's scam, Buruji Kashamu's Scam, Fani Kayode's scam, $20billion scam...by God's grace this man can NEVER win again.

Express to Nigerians what the change they should expect will look like.

1. Declare your assets immediately:...lets see if GEJ can do same.
2. Name key posts in your Cabinet now: Your first eleven. Fashola, Donald Duke, Amaechi, Oshiomole, Kwankwaso. For works, agriculture, education, power, etc.
3. Promise passage of Petroleum Industry Bill 3 months into office.
4. East-West road is not rocket science...promise to pump money there and finish it in one year max. Nigeria can do it!
5. Promise completion of 2nd Niger bridge which took 4 yrs of time wasting to commence.
6. Pick your EFCC head NOW! Find a Nigerian that most find to be incorruptible.
7. Promise Nigerians Shekau's head on a stick in one year. Pay a surprise visit to a barracks in the Nort East to encourage the troops.
8. Campaign massively in the South East and South South. Most have not benefited anything from GEJ anyway. They just need to be convinced that you love them.

I'm sensing the change in the air! Buhari supporters add your thoughts and suggestions.

We just need to reset this country. I see Buhari's finger pressing "RESET".
May we never throw away this God given opportunity.
