Do you actually believe yourself or like Jimmy you're "Just Kidding"? Jimmy is dead on arrival in Lagos, and you can take that to the bank.

PDP Goons have started again with their smear campaign against Jega, but know that this time around Nigerians will resist your plans to shift the elections again.

So the National Conference was a plan after all to support the re-election of Mr. gej. All the participants are now singing praises of the President. Nonsense!! I'm not surprised. Money is a great barometer of people’s integrity. Money often reveals who a typical Nigerian really is.
Afenifere should shove their advise up their ass. We're sorry but our minds made up already.

Tinubu said it then that the national conference was a ruse, a ploy by GEJ to blackmail the participants (especially the southern representatives) into supporting his re-election, and oh boy was Jagaban right. As for Adebanjo and Afenifere, they are only fooling themselves coz the average Yorubaman has decided for CHANGE.

It's obvious that Fayose is just trying to be mischievous, as usual. Somebody should just get to the man a real job coz he's obviously very jobless.

Talk is cheap. JK should show us a copy of his receipt and paste it in the newspaper dailies like Fashola has challenged him to.

I feel sorry for Ekiti people coz they obviously didn't bargain for this when they 'elected' Fayose. Since his inauguration he has turned the stalking of Buhari into an obsession while neglecting the good governance he was elected to deliver.

No little thanks to the INEC dubiously planning to disenfranchise millions of eligible voters down South.

Hahaha. An honest GEJ supporter for once. Lol. Don't worry, this time around if Una allow this election date to stick we promise GEJ an unprecedented thrashing at the polls.

Firefire:
evil machinery of killing Nigerians like they did in 2011, Buhari is a serial failure...

Just answer my question abeg and stop behaving like a market woman. Again I ask, since you agree with Aribisala, does that mean that you are also admitting that GEJ would surely have lost the Feb. 14 election had it not been postponed?

Firefire:
That is the best strategy to destroy the evil machinery

So even you are admitting that GEJ would have lost the Feb. 14 election if not for the postponement?? Interesting. We are getting somewhere.

Femi Aribisala will probably relocate or commit suicide after March 28 (if oga Jonathan will only allow us to vote and not shift it again).

Firefire:
With all the noise about Buhari, it should not be forgotten that the man chronically lacks skills at building political party structures. In the APC

presidential primaries, Northern delegates did not even vote for him; preferring instead Kwankwaso and Atiku. He was elected primarily on the

strength of ACN votes. PDP strength on the ground everywhere in Nigeria explains why Jonathan was able to win 37% of the vote

even in Buhari’s home-state of Katsina in the 2011 election.

You wish. Even GEJ's own team wishes he commands the level of following and confidence a Buhari independent candidacy will deliver, not to talk of the Buhari of today with the APC machinery. No wonder you all are having sleepless nights and bribing everyone from pastors to market women for votes. Buhari doesn't need to kneel to pastors for votes, his supporters will vote for him for free and even donate to his campaign.

Jonathan on the other hand is busy begging and bribing every one for votes. We go collect him money and still send him back to Bayelsa. Confirm!

This Baba Aribisala is a false prophet. Didn't he predict before the APC presidential primary that Buhari would be betrayed by the APC and not get the ticket?

His over-sabi has continued to embarrass him till date. He should calm down coz March 28 is almost here (that is if GEJ has the ballz to allow the elections to hold and not interfere). Agbaya man.

feldido:
Correction!! I'm not a politician neither do I support politics... But come to think of it; are u saying d picture was faked, or are u saying there can't be his look alike? Open ur hearts to reasonings.

You GEJ Supporters are one dishonest lot! I remember the authorities showing us what they claimed as proof that the fake Shekau that was killed and publicized on TV was the REAL deal, using a supposed bump on his head as reference. I knew right then that it was a PhotoShop scam, but in their desperation to claim victory in a dismal military campaign they sold us a dummy and now the C-in-C himself is admitting to the whole nation that they fooled us then and are about to do so again.

feldido:
Just cos we are all blinded by politics... Be objective please.

Bro, you GEJ supporters should stop deceiving yourselves for once. Talking about objectivity, can you honestly tell us how many times this gov't will parade Shekau, either dead or alive? The last time they showed us his corpse and this gov't celebrated that event like it was Christmas, now are they admitting that they scammed us then? Again I ask, HOW MANY SHEKAUs ARE THERE??

Come, how many Shekaus are there?? How many times will they kill Shekau? It seems this gov't has cloned multiple Shekaus that they are using to scam us at will. Next thing we will see them parade another fake Shekau, only to see yet another one pop-up on YouTube the very next day laughing at the rest of us.

Well, didn't he say stealing is not corruption? How can such a character tackle corruption. Heck! He doesn't even think it's one of the major problems facing this country. At best, he looks the other way while his cronies loot the country dry. At worst, he's just as corrupt as Abacha was, if not more so.

ruggedtimi:
Goodluck's wife messed up PDP because of her selfish interest. If amaechi is still a pdp member m sure apc wuldnt hv grown dis big. She is a Godfather to mny

Oh really?? So you know his wife is the real boss huh? In other words, she's the de facto President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and you expect us to re-elect such a man for another 4 years? What does the Bible say about man who can't rule his own home assuming the mantle of leadership?

Bro, you must be an enemy of progress.

AmucheJane:
Source please

I believe it's Daily Sun, Newspaper, owned by Orji Uzor Kalu.

Horllamideh:
GEJ should know that his situation is too late to mend

Yes o. Either he comes to terms with that fact or gets the Gbagbo treatment.

Kai! Baba don vexxxxxxx.

Ija sese bere, translation: Fight just wan start.

DaGC:
Done?

Hell no. You bring it on. I've got enough ammo to shoot down your bullshhyt.

DaGC:
I'm always sad when I see people comment and say GEJ didn't do anything like some posters above. I still think that despite the administration's shortcomings, it still achieved far more than other administrations.
Most just hate GEJ because he's 'GEJ'. Some hate him for his looks, his profession, his ethnicity, his outfit, his wife etc.
Nigeria will get better when Nigerians decide to work together. The day I watched Obama's state of the union speech to congress filled with the opposition party, I marveled at how the Americans are willing to work together to better the country irrespective of political affiliations; instead of using the administration's shortcomings to smear the image of Obama.

FYI, the thread title is misleading because I didn't see where he begged people to save him from defeat. Still, he has my vote.

Abegi, story for the gods. You are a hypocrite. Most of you GEJ Supporters are the real Haters who despise GMB coz of his accent, his Fulani background, his religion, certificate, and other stupid and childish shyyt. Yet you turn around and try to play the victim??

You lot are swearing all over about how you will ensure that Buhari never governs this country again even if he wins fairly and squarely. Hypocrite!

You must think we are fools.

taharqa:
Daily independent fg Leaning?? Since when?

Since when did an Atiku-controlled paper become fg leaning?

Blvd way, did you see the source of this thrash STORY-DINO MCLANE.

Only a complete idioot would believe this

Oh, so now it's Atiku-leaning? I thought you all said Atiku was disgruntled with the APC and is on his way back to the PDP fold? You PDP People are one confused bunch.

Taylor86:
hmmm hope dis is true., APC and propaganda are like rice and beans

FYI: Daily Independent newspaper is a FG-leaning outfit.

GEJ should just relax coz there's life after Aso Rock. He should stop embarrassing himself, going to churches kneeling, begging and pleading for prayers, begging governors, members of parliament, etc, all in a bid to return to office. He's just too desperate.

The article is FAKE. Mods Alert! Mods, pls do the needful and pull down this fake article. Thenx.

dunkem21:
OK. What's your real moniker cos this one is an alternate one?

..Or you just registered because of the botched February elections?

Bro, are you ok I joined January 10th 2015. You can cross-check that for yourself, punnk as$! You must live in a bubble where everyone you know & talk to loves and supports Jonathan, coz in the REAL WORLD he's toast, and you can stick a fork in him coz he's DONE .

dunkem21:
Another APC NL robot programmed to hit likes on every sai buhari post.

Person wey neva reach 2 months here, but him don create 42 topics and 964 posts against GEJ.

Troll.

LOL. Bro, I no be robot o. No be my fault say people no like GEJ as much as you do. And no be my fault say my GEJ-related threads dey get following like this. Bottom line is GEJ is going down, baby. Deal with it, hommie.

Rotimi Akinwunmi, Snr. Correspondent, Abuja

Not wanting to take chances or ignore the formidable forces arrayed against him within and outside his ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the build up to the rescheduled general elections, President Goodluck Jonathan, on Friday night met stakeholders of the party.

The object of the meeting was how to maximise the opportunity offered by the new poll’s date, March 28, 2015, to swing more support and votes for the second term ambition of the President.

According to Dino Melaye, former member of the House of Representatives, who first broke the news in his official tweeter handle (@dino_melaye), the meeting was attended by PDP governors, members of the party’s National Executive Committee and some key persons, including Tony Anenih, chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT) and Edwin Clarke, a party leader.

“The President who spoke after lengthy discussions by participants at the meeting chaired by PDP National Chairman, Adamu Mu’azu, thanked those present particularly the governors and NEC members, assuring them of his total support.

“He appealed to the governors to stave off the impending loss at the poll and called for collaboration to ensure victory at the polls.

“We must work hard to save the party and all our contestants. It is true, the report out there is call for great concern and this is why we must use the new window in the poll shift to talk to Nigerians, woo them and even beg them where necessary,” Melaye said.

Also speaking, Chief Anenih begged the gathering to put more efforts in their various states to ensure victory in the coming election. For him: “It is either we win or perish together.”

Melaye also revealed that Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State, blamed the conspiracy by some unnamed elements, in reply to an otherwise rhetorical question by Clark as to why the President is seemly unacceptable despite all his laudable achievements.

“Please my people I beg you, this election is a must win for our president and all of us,” Chief Clark was quoted as saying.

The meeting was attended by all governors under the party’s platform, except Isa Yuguda and Sule Lamido Bauchi and Jigawa states respectively, who were also not represented.

At the meeting, which held at the First Lady’s Conference Hall in the Presidential Villa, ending minutes after 6 a.m. on Saturday, Mu’azu was said to have lamented the way inter-party wrangling had been allowed to degenerate to the point where five governors dumped the PDP at the same time.

The governors are Murtala Nyako (Adamawa) who was subsequently impeached; Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara); Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers State); Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano); and Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto).

They were part of the group called G7 Governors in the aftermath of the elections of the now splinter Nigerian Governors Forum, dumped the party first for the Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM), before moving to the All Progressives Congress (APC), the nation’s main opposition party. The other two: Dr. Babangida Aliyu and Lamido of Niger and Jigawa respectively, however, chose to stay back in the PDP at the last moment.

As the meeting progressed, Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State was said to have announced a Presidential approval for the distribution of N20 billion among some state governors, just as key swing states like Kano, Lagos, Rivers and Kaduna would get N2 billion to woo voters.



Another “N2 billion was also set aside to buy some political and public analysts to talk more about Mr. President and his achievements over the last six years. Some TV stations such as AIT and Channels would do the job,” he added.

Those at the meeting, Melaye continued, were particular pained by the exit of the governors of Rivers and Kano, which were PDP strongholds before now.

It was further learnt that there was a mild drama at the point when the party chairman tactically blamed the First Lady, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, for allowing matters to degenerate to the point where the problem she had with Amaechi snowballed into his leaving the PDP. The intervention of Clark was said to have saved the situation from going worse.

The party’s chairman was also said to have taken a hard look at the build-up to the election and cautioned Femi Fani-Kayode, Director, Media and Publicity of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council, who was also at the meeting, and Olisa Metuh, Publicity Secretary of the party.

Melaye said both men were told that their propaganda activities seem to be having a backlash and rather making the APC candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari more popularly rather than the contrary.

“Instead of the current situation, he called for more issue based campaigns rather than attacking Buhari’s people as most of the campaign materials already churned out have done, if the PDP must get good support from the ordinary northerner.

“The meeting agreed to reduce negative adverts on Buhari, but Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti and his counterpart from Ondo saw it differently,” he noted.

Calls by Daily Independent to the phone numbers of Metuh, the PDP spokesman, did not connect, just as short messages to his phones were not replied as at press time.

When contacted on telephone, Fani-Kayode who neither confirmed nor denied that the meeting actually held promised to return a call to him. When he did, he said it was not true. “No meeting of such took place,” he said.

In a phone interview with our correspondent on Sunday evening, Anenih, who allegedly arrived the meeting venue in company of Clarke, denied knowledge of such a meeting, talk more of being in attendance.

He told Daily Independent from his Abuja base: “I am not aware of such meeting. I have been in Benin and just landed in Abuja.

Chief Anenih: “When was the meeting held?

Daily Independent: “Between Friday night and very early Saturday morning, Sir.

Chief Anenih: “I have been in Benin (City), I just arrived Abuja… Why not call Mu’azu…”

But another source told one of our correspondents that the meeting indeed held and that members of the PDP National Executive Committee moved from the party’s Wadata Plaza secretariat in Abuja, where they held a meeting to the Presidential Villa that Friday night.

Obiagelli:
Good question, another one is if buhari was an igbo, would Igbos have supported him? We have a potential buhari in Rochas Okorocha, he enjoys amazing support in the north and south west but what have we done to him in the east? The OP should also reflect on this.

You are so on point with this comment, and I share your sentiment. I see Rochas as probably the next Nigerian President after GMB coz of his across-the-board appeal. But it seems the average South Easterner hates his guts coz he's neither in APGA or PDP. That, to my mind, is warped and twisted.

LOL. You GEJ boys are something else. No matter the amount of soap, be it Omo, Sunlight, or whatever wey Una try use wash GEJ administration from corruption, e no fit clean.

When Una cough out the missing $20billion, N30 trillion, among others, then we can sit down and talk.

Until then, GEJ administration remains the most corrupt in Nigeria history, that is a fact the TIs of this world cannot sugarcoat
