http://dailypost.ng/2014/12/12/2015-buhari-consensus-candidate-acf-nef/Northern leaders have adopted the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) as its consensus candidate for 2015.Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) and the Northern Elders’ Forum (NEF) on Friday said the North had resolved to support a northern candidate and since APC has fielded a candidate from the region, they had no alternative than to support him.“President Jonathan shouldn’t be in the contest in the first place if the principle of zoning that was created by his party and the constitution is respected. He shouldn’t be a candidate by now,” they said.ACF Chairman, Ibrahim Coomasie, a former Inspector General of Police, said, “First of all, the APC presidential primary and the PDP convention have clearly shown those who are ready to practice democracy. The APC’s primary was held smoothly without any rancour and all of them have come out to accept the result. That is a good omen for our democracy. I hope INEC will emulate that.“So, we are congratulating Gen. Muhammadu Buhari who has been winning primaries all through. Only when it comes to the general elections, he is always rigged out. We have also seen what happened in the other party.“I am the Chairman of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) and we have said it before and we are reiterating it that, we are going to support a northern candidate. And since APC has voted a northern candidate, we are going to support him 100 per cent. So, Buhari is our candidate for the 2015 election.”He, however, said if Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, had won the APC primary, they would still have supported him because he was born and brought up in the North and had shown interest in the development of Nigeria and the region in particular.

God bless you Ibrahim Coomasie.
Incase some of you don't know, Ibrahim Coomasie has a degree from Imo State University. He did a lot for the school and one of such gestures was donating a Coaster Bus to the school. I was there live when he presented the bus to the school.


God bless buhari
God bless rochas
God bless APC

Keep your bullshit for the birds.

We've been through all this usual sweet talk.

Let's just get 2015 done with.

Gbosa for tinubu ,greatest political strategist of this time

I write this because of millions of Nigerians who are below 30 and who constitute a significant chunk of our voting population.

This is the ICT generation that is largely ignorant about the events of the Buhari era (1983-85) and so can be misinformed and misled by needless propaganda. I have sat with many in the under-30 bracket and those slightly above who only have faint recollections of the Buhari era and the level of ignorance about that era is amazing.

Before being MILITARY Head of State, Buhari had been Governor of one of the Northern States (under Obasanjo’s Military government) as well as Minister for Petroleum. He later served as Chairman of PTF under Abacha. Please consider the following unassailable facts:

- He birthed and supervised the establishment of our existing refineries.

- There was no religious crisis while he was Head of State. It started under his successor IBB!

- In his time as Head of State he reduced inflation from 23% to 4%, by fiscal discipline and a homegrown economic team (not achieved under any other era, even military).

- JJ Rawlings of Ghana took over 2 years before him, and killed all the corrupt leaders, while Buhari only sentenced the corrupt leaders here to prison.

- Under his watch as PTF Chairman, what he did in road construction in that short period hasn't been matched by 12 years of the PDP.

- Hospitals and universities around the country never witnessed as much benefits as they got from the PTF from any government after or before his time.

- Despite serving in senior capacity in the oil sector, first as Minister for Petroleum and then Petroleum Trust Fund, Buhari has no petrol station,much less a rig, refinery or an oil block like so many of our leaders.

- He could have retired into nauseating opulence like an IBB or Danjuma or even OBJ but didn't.

- Instead of hobnobbing with the high and mighty, he has cast his lot with the ordinary man most of who follow him out of hope and belief in his values.People who know him have said of him... "All I need from Buhari is his word, I can take it to the bank".

- He is the only politician in the North today who fills rallies without renting a crowd. The Kaduna rally of 2nd March is eloquent proof.

- He refused to collect an allowance while serving as Chairman of the PTF because he said since he was already drawing a pension from government, his conscience would not allow him to draw another salary from the purse of the same government.

- He is the only former head of state that does not own property or land in Abuja.

- Every attempt to rubbish him through probes in time past ended up vindicating him! The man who was asked by OBJ to take over the running of PTF before it was scrapped with the aim of probing and indicting Buhari, was the one who ended up being prosecuted
for misappropriating $100m of PTF funds! Buhari again, was vindicated

- He has OPENLY challenged those who accuse him of religious fundamentalism to come out and show proof. No one has till today, taken up the challenge.His personal driver of many years is a Christian from Plateau State.

- His government initiated the War Against Indiscipline that has made environmental cleanliness, queuing up, not urinating by the roadside etc features of our national life even till today Does it then surprise you why corrupt people would be spreading such heinous rumors about Buhari?

He is a threat to them and they know what he is capable of doing to corruption and corrupt people when he comes into office! So shine your eyes and make the right decision. If honesty and probity are the things you want for Nigeria ,now is the time to choose right. When you cast your vote for the BUHARI, you would have cast one vote for a honest men.

Now that you know better, will you please educate another person BY FORWARDING THIS TO AS MANY AS YOU CAN? THIS IS MORE THAN A CAMPAIGN.IT'S JUST THE TRUTH!!!

It is an arrant nonsense for a leader of a region or geo-political zone to come out openly to declare a candidate a consensus candidate. Of course, that is enough to piss off other zones/regions.

Telling us a candidate is consensus to the North amounts to tribalising the chance of the candidate winning the election.

Which north is Commasie speaking for? If he is talking for North West, yes they have never supported Jonathan. Last time I checked, North Central which is 75% Christians are solidly behind Otuoke son. For those who don't know, any party that wins north central states, automatically win the presidency. Don't ask me why because I don't know. Find out from 1960 till date.

Have you forgotten that Buhari said Muslims should vote for Muslims. APC folks accuse Jonathan of sins their leaders are very guilty of. They say Jonathan divide Nigeria along ethno-religious lines but Buhari statements have been causing ethno-religious crises in the country.

keep dreaming, Jonathan can only win in Benue state d rest north central states are for GMB, ur boss should just prepare for his otuke journey in 2015

Can you imagine these notherners are always arrogant. Well 2015 will soon come and una go see who owns Nigeria now.

Talk about dividing Nigeria along ethno-religious lines and GEJ's pops up and now what do we have here? Hypocrites. Senseless bunch of idiiots who call themselves leaders of whatever mindlessly inciting tribalism.

They have successfully ruined things for Buhari.

This goes a long way to justify what we've been saying all this while.. the born-to-rule syndrome. Nigerian Politics and Sentimentality are inseparable after all.

Later, one would blame someone else for supporting Jonathan cos he's a Southerner?

pls check your facts again; niger, kwara, nassarawa & kogi are 80% muslims, by the way kwara and nassarawa are already an APC states & for we in niger, APC is the answer.

I said North Central is 75% Christians and that is correct. 80% Muslims in Nassarawa and Kogi is the lie of the millennium. Benue is 99.9% Christians and Plateau is 97% Christians. Get your figures right first.

Hold on a sec! Which north central has 75% Christians? Now, I don't mix religion and politics, I jus want to set the record straight, out of the six states in the north central, only 2, Benue and Plateau that has Christian majority. Nassarawa, Kogi , Kwara, and Niger all have Muslim majority, so where does ur 75% come from. Pls always get ur facts right before coming to post what u don't know anything about from ur tiny Igbo village.

Your bigotry mentality is ridiculous. Anyone who does not share your view is Igbo. Travel around Nigeria perhaps it can help correct some of your wrong assumptions.
