But can we really say Ribadu is pulling crowd? The below is my analysis.

ACN Lagos Rally: This was a performing ACN governor organised rally, not presidential rally. Ribadu was only there to show support. Most of the people there came there because of fashola and probably Tinubu. Let Ribadu come to Lagos for presidential rally and we will see if the man can really pull crowd in Lagos.

Benue Rally: Again, it was the flag of the ACN gubernatorial candidate there - the people of the state are yearning for a brake in the state. ACN chieftains were only there to show support.

In Akwa Nbom: It was also a gubernatorial flag off campaign, not a presidential campaign - Ribadu and Tinubu were only there to show support for the candidate of their party - the people of this state also want a brake from PDP.

The above tells you why Ribadu's campaign has not been consistent like the other candidates - he goes to where the ACN candidate is popular to join the candidate's rally. In Benue state, Ribadu can't record 15% of the total presidential votes.

If you look at Buhari's campaign, he moves from one region to another region (following his presidential campaign timetable) and then from state to state in that order. From the way people troop to the airports, entrance into the cities to receive him, there is no doubt that, Buhari has got not rival in this coming election. The samething will happen when the BB train storms Lagos on Tuesday.

@truetalk01

And what is the population of Igbo, Yoruba and Irobo in the north? 50% of the north population? You are deceiving yourself. The population of other tribes in the north is less than 5% of the total population.

And even at that, you think Yoruba people in the north will vote for Jonathan?

Face the reality - Jonathan will get less than 10% of northern votes.

In South West of course, Buhari will lead - one man one vote

You are free to look at it from any perspective that suits you. For us, this election is about falsehood vs truth,   light vs darkness, and honesty vs hypocrisy.

Why can't we just wait and see how the debate will go? Why are we busy predicting how Bakare or Adeola will perform? If we can just predict based on their profession, why the debate?

What we want to see is leadership in them and when we say leadership, we are not talking about being bank MD, or church pastor? We are talking about leading a country?

Globally, experience has shown that lawyers will do better in debate more than other professionals - that is not to say every lawyer is better than other professional anyway.

You will not achieve anything trying to convince people who have refused to use their brain. It is a disaster when people don't think - they will talk about goodluck, miracle, God ordained, etc - illogical arguments.

For us who can see beyond our nose, BB is the light. We can only pray that God will make them see the light now or after BB enters ASO rock - at least they are Nigerians and we also enjoy the good things that BB plan to do.

PDP seems to be under serious pressure. Not easy to lose power.

Yanko, be sportmanly,  there is nothing that has begining that will not end - even the world will end. So what is power on earth?

Also, we need to start preparing for BB visit to Lagos on Tuesday. I am taking off the day from work.

Most importantly, we need posters, sticker, etc - these need to be ready before Tuesday.

Are you people aware of the BB volunteer meeting which holds every sunday?

We need to know where the meeting is holding this Sunday so we call all be there and strategise for Tuesday.

Another pix from Gombe,

Yes, recent happenings have shown that ACN is a business concern own 100% by Tinubu. Tinubu is the CEO and Chairman of the company called ACN - now the wife, daughter, in-law, etc are to be brought as general manager for the various LOBs.

The good thing is, Tinubu pays his employees very well and he ensures their family have access to good medical care. With all these, loyalty from his employees is 100%.


HHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

So, Jonathan will say he is not aware of this arrest? Abi?

@Tara2,Tell me your candidate that has done something for the people in the past. Do you leave in Nigeria?

Buhari was PTF chairman, his performance at PTF alone is enough for any sain person to want to have him back at this time in our national life.

Buhari was Petroleum minister and it was at this time that our 3 refineries were constructed that today's GEJ, OBJ, etc can't even maintain.

Buhari was Head of state and it was during his time that WIA was first introduced in Nigeria. WIA was to change Nigeria from a jungle to a human society that we see in advanced countries where people live in clean environment, queue for fuel, queue at bus stop, etc and do things in an orderly manner.

Tell me what your candidate has done.

The duo are OBJ boys, How are we sure that a game is not even at play here to divide the opposition using Ribadu? Time will tell.

@Doja, we can count the number of people in those pictures. Please compare the crowd in those pictures with that of Buhari and you will see that Ribadu is in the class of Momodu, Kris Okotie, etc.

Also note that those rallies were organized by the governor/governorship candidate in those states - Borno and Lagos. Of course, even me will attend Fashola rally if I am chanced but does that mean I am for Ribadu?

Fashola organised the Lagos rally to flag-off his campaign and for you to know, I watched the campaign on TV - Ribadu himself said at the rally that he was coming back for presidential campaign. When he will come, we don't know and when he does come, you will see that he has no appeal apart from the ACN popularity in Lagos. Do you think if Fashola is not there, Ribadu can get crowd in Lagos? Just dry run it and you see that Ribadu can't pull 5000 attendees if he goes it alone without the state government. The samething in Benue, people attended the rally because of their love for the governorship candidate of ACN.

I am telling you that Nuru Ribadu/Fola can't pull any crowd on their own and that tells you that people will not vote for them even in the SW.

I am not in Nigeria at the moment but I have just monitored BB campaign in Gombe and Taraba on Buhari website. Did you watched it on TV? Did you see the crowd that welcomed BB at the airport not to even talk of the crowd at the campaign venue? Hundred of thousands of people were kissing Buhari aircrat. Unlike your candidate that was welcome by cows and sheep at the airport yesterday in bauchi.

@Owasoyo, I am from Ede, Osun State but I am not one of those people who call black white. I hate falsehood so much that I am not always comfortable when I see people wallowing in it. And that is what we see in the south everyday - falsehood, etc that today good leadership material is scarce in the south. We all wallow and live in falsehood as if without falsehood we can't survive, whether you like truth or not, that is the truth.

A simple example, go to airport hotel Ikeja to change dollars from southerners (yoruba or igbo) - they will cheat you no matter how smart you are. With a northerner, you don't have a problem - you can go to bed. This is a very simple example.

Now, see the way northerners are following Buhari just because Buhari is a man of integrity. Of course Buhari is not a money bag. This tells you that an average norther is patroitic - but southerners will say they are not smart.

In the south, money rules our minds - we can do anything for money. We will even celebrate Bode George - nothing is wrong with it! It shows that we have lost our value system completely here in the south.

Why is everybody following Tinubu, Anenih, Bode and OBJ? Is it not because they think their short term survival depend on these corrupt people. Tinubu will go out there and say SW will vote for blah blah blah as if he feeds all of us. He should know that he can only control those political sycophants who cannot on their become something in life. Tinubu is pushing them around while lining his own pocket and sharing the leftover with them. He wanted to be VP and because Buhari said no, SW must vote against Buhari - this is selfish. If Tinubu is fighting for South West, he should be happy with the appointment of Tunde Bakare as VP to Buhari. Unfortunately, nobody sees anything wrong with that. They still follow follow,

Soludo who ruined our banking sector is a southerner - now we have a norther cleaning the mess. Maurice Iwu is a southerner, now we have a northerner trying to clean the mess. OBJ was in power for 8 years, he added no value to anybody.

The truth is , I trust a northerner more than a southerner - simple, You may not like this anyway, They say truth is bitter.

The work that me and you should do is to change the trend in the south and ensure integrity becomes the watch word as it used to be.

I am not a politician and my yound kids will not need politics to become anything in life. All my family needs is a working system that will make us productive.

The pix above from Dan was taken in Gombe today. Below I have pasted that of Maiduguri for them to see. A word they say is enough for the wise - ACN should stop wasting their money and time - join the winning team. Your arrogance will not take you anywhere - even in South West, we are voting for BB, Millions of Tinubu can't dictate to us - on Tuesday, you will see when Buhari storms Lagos.

On Tuesday next week, BB train will storm Lagos - we will shutdown Lagos for a day. Wait and see. On Tuesday, we will all know who will win presidential votes in Lagos.

Warri,

Warri,

I am yet to see those people like Falana, Okonjo, etc joining or speaking at any of ACN/Ribadu rally. I have not even seen any of them speak about Ribadu since campaign started.

Okonjo was given VP slop but she rejected it - may be she knows better know after been flushed out of the government by OBJ and his boys.

Kaduna

Minna

p/h,

Maiduguri,

Have these guys been watching political rallies? Apart from the ACN outing in Lagos which was basically a Fashola show, tell 2 different rallies Rabidu/Fola has organised on their own with mammoth crowd attending - paste pictures to back up your claims.

Sure you have all seen CPC outing in Kaduna, Minna and Maiduguri - who in this election can pull such crowd.

Even in Warri and P/H, BB pulled crowd. See pictures.

Maiduguri,
