Good morning gentlemen.

You are welcome to this press conference, which we have called to alert Nigerians to the next moves by the desperate and election-phobic duo of the PDP and the Presidency, using various compromised people as fronts.

With just a little over two weeks to next month’s general election, a rash of court cases have been instituted in an unrelenting effort to stop our presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. At the last count, at least four cases have been filed by those who are undoubtedly fronting for the PDP and the Presidency, and all are working towards the same goal: Stop Buhari, Scuttle next month’s elections. We expect more cases to be filed in pursuit of this ignominious objective.

Let me give a quick background of how we got here. Since the emergence of Gen. Buhari as the presidential candidate of the APC at a well-organized and transparent National Convention of our party last month, things seem to have fallen apart for the PDP and the Presidency, and for them the centre can no longer hold. Indeed, Gen. Buhari has become the nightmare for the ruling party and the Presidency, to such an extent that their entire electioneering campaign now dwells on one and one issue only: the person of Gen. Buhari.

First, they said things will unravel for the candidate and his party over the choice of a Vice Presidential Candidate, but not only did this evil prediction fail, a VP candidate who has been widely acclaimed as the best choice for the party and the country, in the person of Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, emerged, further pushing the naysayers into sheer trepidation.

Next, they engaged in scandal mongering, that our candidate is not qualified to run because he did not have the pre-requisite qualification. In fact, they so much believed their own lies that they swore to have found a fool-proof way to stop Gen. Buhari. Then their house of lies collapsed when it was proven beyond doubt that our candidate sat for and passed his Cambridge Examination. Not knowing what to do next, they procured a forged medical certificate from the ‘Ahmadu Bello University hospital’ of their warped Imagination, that our candidate is suffering from prostate cancer, but their 419 certificate had barely been unveiled before it was disowned by the authentic Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital. Again, the web of lies woven by the PDP and the Presidency unraveled before their very eyes. Not knowing what next to do, they turned their campaign rallies to a Buhari-bashing event, pushing issues to the back burner. Those who lacked even a scintilla of integrity, those who an embodiment of incompetence and cluelessness, and those who need reformation in the aftermath of their self-inflicted, indulgence induced phrenic impairment all went into a frenzy in an attempt to demonize a man whose integrity, decency and honesty are legendary. They produced and aired documentaries that are based, 99%, on lies and twisted facts. But this too boomeranged. The more they pound him, the higher Gen. Buhari soars.

Now they have moved to the last frontier in their stop-Buhari-at-all-cost campaign: Using the courts. After manipulating some elements of the judiciary workers to embark on strike to stop the courts from hearing cases that could be detrimental to their presidential candidate, the same puppeteers again manipulated the elements to end the strike, so they can kick start their last strategy. As I said earlier, at least four cases have been filed, all aimed at one and one objective only: Stop Gen. Buhari. Suffice it to say that this stop-Buhari-at-all-cost campaign is being pursued simultaneously with the push to postpone next month elections, ostensibly because of the low level of PVC distribution but in the real sense an implementation of the stated mindset of the presidency never to hand over to Gen. Buhari, and then of course set up an interim government.

It is in view of the multiplicity of court cases at this late hour that we have decided to alert Nigerians to the execrable plan of the PDP and the Presidency. We have also decided to appeal directly to the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) to stoutly defend the independence andvintegrity of the judiciary at this critical moment, to avoid a repeat of what transpired in 1993 when unscrupulous elements constituted themselves into the infamous Association for Better Nigeria (ABN) that was used to annul the 1993 general elections, thus aborting the Third Republic and throwing the country into a deep and prolonged crisis.

The rumour mill is spinning fast. Stories abound of a huge war chest of 100 million dollars being earmarked to grease the palm of any pliable Judge who can disqualify Gen. Buhari and halt the electoral process. We do not know whether or not this allegation is true, but we do know that Nigerians do not want to return to ‘Egypt’. We have been down this road before with disastrous consequences, and we do not want to tread that path again. Never before has so much been deployed just to stop the candidacy of just one man!

In conclusion, we will like to ask the PDP and the Presidency: Why are you so frightened by Gen. Buhari’s candidacy for the office of the President? Why are you so terrified of facing Gen. Buhari at the polls? Why have you been engaging in a clandestine campaign to postpone the elections, when on the other hand you claim to be ready? If Gen. Buhari ran in 2003, 2007 and 2011, and there was never an issue with his meeting the pre-requisite qualification, why have you made it an issue now? Is it because you have realized that he is poised to shellack President Jonathan at the polls? Why is an interim government an option when Nigerians are willing and eager to vote next month?

While we will continue to appeal to our members and supporters to remain calm, we call on them, and indeed all Nigerians, to be vigilant, knowing that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. We urged the CJN to be a bulwark against the abuse of the courts just to achieve a pre-determined end.

We call on the international community to take note of the multi-faceted campaign to stop Gen. Buhari at all cost and scuttle next month’s elections to pave the way for an interim government that will benefit no one but the PDP, the Jonathan Administration and its cronies.

We ask those who are mortally afraid of Gen. Buhari to
douse their fears and meet us at the polls next month.

Jonadunce and PDP know their time is up. No amount of propaganda and character assassination will stop Nigerians from sending Mr. Clueless back to Otuoke. If they like they should all go to court, they'll all REMAIN THERE.

Any judge that attempts to Maradonically repeat what happened in 93 will have himself to blame. Nigerians are charged up and ready to make a bold statement to the killer party on feBuhari 14 and no Jupiter can stop us.

Sai Buhari

#Ihavedecided

Am following.
But to be modified shaaa

Now

Jonadumb has tried everything and an impending loss still looms.

He is now desperate.

Just like a team losing by 2-0 would always want the referee to give 10minutes extra time at the end of the game

Jonah your time is up

Otuoke straight

From this statement i can see that apc is already afraid of the outcome of the court case. If buhari has no case to answer, why should apc be afraid ?

We are not alone. we have God by our side. All their plans shall not come to fruition. God is watching

Pure gibberish laden with sentiments.

If the coloured happen Jonathan case will be worse than that of Laurent Gbagbo

front page.

Any attempt to repeat 1993 this time would be calamitous.
Unlike in 93 when it was a Southerner, this time around is a man well loved across Nigeria,_but most crucially who commands a fanatical support in the north. When his legendary status in the north is added to the fact that this region is disenchanted with the GEJ administration due to his bh failures,u have a recipee for calamity.
If GEJ loves not just Nigeria but his ss constituency, he shudnt tamper with the elections.

Why fear when you have nothing to be afraid of
Or is there something APC has not told their supporters?
As for me,I will go with PDP.

My prayer is for buhari to win this election and if apc n buhari regime is corrupt then make pdp take over in 2019 n rule for ever

Lol they all know the game is up, they claimed Buhari is the easiest candidate for them to beat, why are they acting like the proverbial old woman who began to shake when she heard of dry bones! Jonathan should simply hand over to Buhari and run away!

The fear of Buhari is the beginning of court cases against him.
No matter how hard they try,they will all fail.
Buhari is our incoming president Insha Allah.

Ventura1:

Gbagbo case is a child's play compare to that of Samuel doe & Jona own will be worst.

pdp should not try this .
with the way they are desperate,you begin to wonder if they care about peace in the nation.

Shut up!!!! To believe you could compromise and be with Bukky saraki is unimaginable. But well, there are no permanent enemies in politics, only gullible followers.

You are claiming PDP is scared of GMB, well, who would't be scared of a man who promised hell on earth if he lost the last election and now we are having it? Or you are turning a blind eye to that.

Moreso, clear conscience fears no accusation. GMB come and debate, he declined, why? They don give Jonathan expo. Foolishness, is it an examination to be marked by PDP or AIT, BON, NEGD or whoever is organising the debate. Is it not an avenue for him to come out and show us that he is not clueless as he claims?

It seems to me that what really happened concerning debate is best explained in a dialogue.

GMB: Kai mallam, this is an offortunity to show am that jona say I be correct.
Amaechi: Oga, no try am o.
GMB: but why Amishi?
Amaechi: Oga, no be you them ask wetin una go use solve economic problems wey una dey talk military?
GMB: Yes Manaa. What about that? You don't know the military, they can do anything. Kill, jail, even kidnap anyone I tell them to.
Amaechi: See you, for where? Better forget it, you can't debate, you will just waste all our efforts. Jonathan go beat you flat.
GMB: Ah. So you no trust me Amishi?
Amaechi: Guy, there is no trust in business, you go spoil our show. Una no know how much I don spend for this thing to work abi, you go now go spoil am with one silly debate where you go dey talk say ur sorry old ass will stabilise crude oil price abi. Tufiakwa, nna me, e no go happen.
GMB: What will now happen, ma which lie we go put forward now, you know say I no sabi lie...

Amaechi: No worry, we go talk say them organisers of the said debate don give Jona expo. Trust our people, they will believe. By the way, that your daughter dey frustrate efforts o. Tell her to shut up for now o before she go dey clamour for Presidential debate on top twitter.

GMB: Ok. I go just sidown dey watch.

So APC dey fear court like this?

There is no way GEJ is winning this election and he knows it.. I was with some movers and shakers of PDP in Benue state some days back and all they kept saying was "vote our gubernatorial candidate please but vote for whoever you want for presidency. E no concern us".. Some of them even opened their mouths to say GEJ is going no where..

This man. GEJ must done a bad thing in his administration because I don't know everything about Buhari is scared him. Before too late I advice Mr Jonathan to confess all the bad he does to Buhari, so when he hand over to him, Buhari will forgive him in the name of all Nigerians

The government would not stop the election, the election would take place.

The president know the implication of doing wuru wuru in this election.

I think it will be unwise to put the country on fire.

AlfaSeltzer:

SaTANists licking the bottom of saTAN since BC

AlfaSeltzer:

I never knew Jonathan and PDP were so afraid of Buhari they had to go to court to file a case against his eligibility to contest.

Wow!

The end is near.

berem:

Wow!

It is called the rule of law. Obeying the laws of the country.
You guys asked us to go to court. Remember?

AlfaSeltzer:

You guys asked us to go to court. Remember?

you have been defeated in court against NCC.
The next defeat against PDP will shock you.

berem:
The fear of Buhari is the beginning of court cases against him.
No matter how hard they try,they will all fail.
Buhari is our incoming president Insha Allah.

I thought you said we should go to court?? Wetin happen? We don take your advise..we go court...wetin happen?? Why you dey cry?? Are you well??

Again

berem:
you have been defeated in court against NCC.
The next defeat against PDP will shock you.

Berem baby, the outcome will shock you like shoki and alanta put together. Show us certificate, simple I'm sorry, I no go school, una no fit talk. You come go dey forge certificate for us. We be pikin for ur bulging eye abi? Now, the result of tendering a fake certificate is haunting you.... Deal with it

saintikechi:
From this statement i can see that apc is already afraid of the outcome of the court case. If buhari has no case to answer, why should apc be afraid ?

Bless you. You understand the situation very well. It's obvious Buhari does not have a certificate. APC is only using psychology on Nigerians believing like they always do that Nigerians are stupid.

They were shouting go to court because they knew then that the courts were on strike and probably fueling the issue under to enlongate the court strike. That has obviously failed.

Now they are using reverse psychology to cry wolf when they were the ones that called the wolf by fielding a candidate who does not have certificate. They only trying to play the victim now after so much bravado.

I have always said it, the biggest problem with APC is their over confidence, the believe they are too smart and can manipulate Nigerians because they control the media.

As far as am concerned this press release is dead on arrival, nothing new there, people already know that the Buhari certificate and the perjury issue will be contested in court before the elections.
