During the 2011 elections, ACN only fielded Ribadu because they had to. They knew they couldn't get a win across the country especially with the collapse of talks with Buhari. They concentrated their resources on winning SW which they did to convince Buhari that he, Tinubu, is no push over. The only reason Ribadu won in Osun was because Aregbesola needed to convince the PDP that his victory at the electoral panel was not a fluke. Can you imagine PDP winning the presidential election in Lagos with the standing of Tinubu and Fashola if it were not orchestrated by Tinubu. What Buhari had counted on was that he can win without merging with Tinubu. If he Buhari had won in the North and ACN had won in the south West, PDP will not have enough votes in the South & SE to beat the votes he will garner in the North. Tinubu saw through him and decided to go to sleep during the presidential election. That is what humbled Buhari into the merger we have today. Today Jonathan doesn't stand the chance of winning in the South West and the North the votes in the middle belt and SE maybe divided leaving him with only the SS.

For buhari and unknown osibanjo i think Gej should start writing his second term swearing in speech cause is a work over.

Say' CHANGE!!!

I agree. But this is all assuming that buhari maintains all the 12 Northern states he won in the 2011 election and Lagos,Ogun,Osun,Oyo,Ekiti,Ondo and Kwara vote for Buhari/Osibanjo. IF APC achieves that, they have 19 states in the bag including the two number crunching states of KANO and LAGOS .It is only then we can then talk about dividing the SE. I am happy you agree with my point that the Buhari/Osibanjo Campaign shouldnt focus much on the south south and campaign rather more heavily in states that are more likely to be won like the 12 Buhari won in 2011, All the South West States. Then maybe Nasarawa,F.C.T. and Imo State too

END of 15 years of PDP Bondage come 2015. APC will be in power next year.

Yemi Osinbajo is a perfect match for Muhammadu Buhari. Let the campaign begin...

You people keep talking about dividing the vote of SE and SS and NC. but don't believe that of the north and west can be divided

isn't it foolishness?

Hope you have your voters card. I'm in Lagos and I'm voting GEJ and I'm not alone.

fineworker24:

The simple truth.

arsetalks:
You are wrong there. There is no how you can convince those in the SS and SE to vote against GEJ enmass. No bigotry but the electorate in those regions have their minds made up. They see GEJ as one of their own even if he is not doing anything for them.

Like I said before, I mean no bigotry, in fact, some of my best friends are from the SE/SS but let's call a spade a spade, they won't vote for an hausa man even if you make the vice from their region.

The most important thing is to ensure the SW is secured. If APC can get even 20% from the SE/SS and ensure PDP do not get more than 20% in the SW then they will win the election ( my thought).

the leadership of nigeria rests on the shoulders of one among two dominant people, one is weak, the other is a 72 year old man who would have retired many years ago in civil service. nigeria is just unfortunate.

mayorjosh:
btw who is yemi osinbajo

Lyoncrescent:


i agree with you that the votes of the North and West can be shared. This is where a just umpire in INEC is needed and a robust campaign mechanism and strategy from both PDP and APC.

I have my Voters card and i am also in Lagos. Ikorodu to be precise. You are entitled to vote who ever you want to vote. PDP has been in power for 15 years. I am not convinced on the need to continue doing the same thing over and over again yet expecting a different result which is what another 4 years of PDP will offer.

In a more sinister tone and as i always say, if PDP is the answer, May GOD run your life and the life of your generations the way PDP has run Nigeria in the last 15 years. Please can you say a big Amen to that.

APC are so bless with great personalities, Professor Osinbajo is a man of repute and he will be an asset to the development of this nation.






For God so loved Nigeria that he spared the life of Gen. Buhari till 2015, that who so ever desires progress and Votes for him may not regret but experience the true meaning of leadership where security, food, employment, zero corruption, transparency and infrastructural development prevails.
The number one problem facing Nigeria today is corruption! Fix corruption, and you fix Nigeria. Jonathan has only encouraged and promoted corruption. The ONLY person that is fearless and would ruthlessly cleans this country is General Mohammadu Buhari... Those who hate him have no idea why they do...he remains the most incorruptible ... Fearless... Patriotic and principled leadership figure remaining in Nigeria today. Nigeria may not be able to have the likes of Buhari in another 50years time.
Is only a fool that will continue to do things the same way and expect a different result, So Let's Make The Right Choice.

God Bless Nigeria
God Bless Niger-Delta
Sai Buhari

Before You criticise me am also a christian but I must not let my religion clown my sense of reasoning.

ndcide:



will you ever believe the umpire was just except your party wins?

The more reason you had to result to killing non indigenous corp members in 2011.

If you you had to state what you wrote in the last paragraph just to spite me, then all you said above that is all rubbish. coz you ate not even sincere.
r I forgive you coz you don't know what you are doing.

PassingShot:
Be it Osinbajo, Oshiomole or Amaechi, it's a sure success.

Congrats to you GMB for sticking with someone from the SW where the election will be decided.

In 2011, Buhari did not have the support of Tinubu, Fashola and all other APC politicians which he now enjoys. I am very sure that Osinbajo was nominated by Tinubu after Buhari rejected him for the slot. So, Tinubu and the rest APC governors will surely deliver the votes.

Going SS would have been much more difficult to sell to the Yorubas because the ticket does not guarantee them the presidency even in the next eight years especially when they have been marginalized by GEJ for the past six years. So, how do you convince them to troop out on election day?

Besides, nothing you can give the SS/SE now, not even the presidential slot, that will make them vote against "their son".

Once the election is won, Amaechi and other SS's APC guys will have their own dues?

An Amaechi as the Petroleum Minister won't be a bad idea for example

All in all, I see this choice as the best option to defeat PDP.

PDP/GEJ now be like " ... shitting in their pants"

Are you voting based on the region the aspirants are coming from or what
That's our problem in this country, my son, their son...for Gods sake is that the right basis!!!

I agree with quite a number of points you raised but my worry about buhari is the questionable people he is surrounded by; as well as his staunch support for sharia Law all over Nigeria. Do you knw that as a christain under True Islamic sharia law you must pay the Jizyah (its an Arabic name for Protection tax for disbelievers of allah).
Buhari looks like a sincere man but don't forget his past, he once brought down a democratic Government in Nigeria before him too was ousted, all these set this country back by several decades

I agree with this completely. Amaechi or someone else from that side woulda been better. Southwest was always was a stronghold of APC compared to other areas. I just hope this wont turn out to be a political miscalculation.
