Buhari’s Choice Fuels Anti-jonathan Sentiments In North by menesheh(m): 2:55am On Dec 22, 2014 |
ABUJA — With less than two months to the general election, the campaign posters of President Goodluck Jonathan are yet to be mounted in many northern states considered crucial for his re-election victory, concerned loyalists of the president have revealed to Vanguard. The situation is in contrast to the pre-2011 season where the promotional materials for Jonathan had sprung up in virtually all the northern states many months to the presidential race. Unlike the situation which presided the last presidential poll, many states appear cautious in openly canvassing support for Jonathan given the preponderance of most of their leaders to throw their weight behind Buhari. The fear in openly identifying with Jonathan, according to competent sources, stems from the fact that some radical elements, who feel disappointed by the present administration’s handling of security challenges in the North-East are on the prowl waiting to unleash violence on suspected backers of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. It was learnt that the hoisting of PDP and Jonathan’s posters was being taken with caution in some of the PDP and All Progressives Congress, APC, states in the north because of those radical elements opposed to Jonathan’s return in 2015. A top PDP source explained to our correspondent that it was difficult to see many posters of the President even in states controlled by PDP. A Northern governor confirmed to Vanguard, yesterday, that most of the people were not keen on re-electing Jonathan and had since switched on their support to Buhari, whom they see as their only hope of returning to the Presidency after many years of remaining at the political periphery. “If you like, take a tour of the major highways from Yobe to Kano and from Abuja to Kaduna and see how many of the president’s campaign posters are standing,” the governor said. “There are even those on the street are so angry with anything Jonathan that if they find anyone trying to hoist his posters they would immediately remove or deface them. “Other radical elements opposed to Jonathan have even warned those working for him in the north to retrace their steps or risk being attacked with their family members. “I tell you that what is happening in the north since the emergence of Buhari has significantly altered the political fortunes of Jonathan in the North and it is going to be a tougher fight than what obtained in 2011. But a politician from Kaduna told Vanguard last night that some posters of Jonathan and Governor Ramalan Yero in some strategic places in Kaduna but unavailable in many places suspected to be anti-Jonathan and the PDP. “What is happening in Kaduna is that the posters of the President are present in areas that support Jonathan but you cannot find one in the key areas that are against the PDP and Jonathan. “The situation on the ground here in Kaduna is that it may be very difficult for the status quo to be maintained,” the Kaduna-based politician said. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/12/buharis-choice-fuels-anti-jonathan-sentiments-north/ 23 Likes 2 Shares |

APC: What manner of change? The APC has been consistent in saying that the PDP has ruled Nigeria for 16 disastrous years in which corruption, impunity, insurgency, armed robbery and several ills of society held sway. But a very close look at the APC, I am seeing * Amaechi - 8yrs speaker; 7yrs governor under PDP, * Atiku - 8yrs Vice president under PDP, * Akume -8yrs governor under PDP, * Bukola Saraki - 8yrs governor; 2yrs Senator under PDP, * Timipre Sylver -4yrs governor under PDP, * Audu Ogbe - 2yrs chairman of PDP, * Aminu Masari - 4yrs Reps speaker under PDP, * Chris Ngige - 3yrs governor under PDP, * Kwankwaso - 7yrs governor, 3yrs Defense minister under PDP, * El-Rufai - 4yrs FCT minister, 2yrs BPE chairman under PDP, * Oyinlola, 7 and half years governor under PDP, * Segun Oni, 3 and half years governor under PDP, And to cap it all they went to OBJ begging, a man who they claimed spent 8 of the disastrous 16 yrs as the maximum ruler of Nigeria to come and lead them on a rescue mission. It is now clearer that APC is a waste basket of the PDP, where the people who created and perpetuated the "16 Disastrous years" are now dumped. Please Nigerians what is the change in this APC? 274 Likes 77 Shares |

What do u expect? Did he not call all apc states Muslim states? Did him and his Clark not blame northern elders for hiding BH in dia midst? Even when northernans and soutthernans were being abducted in d north by BH, did he not allege they were false rumors that everywhere in Nigeria was safe? Did he even believe Chibok abduction of school girls nor even attempt to visit the town after d abductions? His actions and inactions has made him southern Nigerian president. For all he cares, he does not give a damn about d north hence why should he or his posters dawn d north to canvas for votes he does not need. Abi are northernans no longer janjaweeed? 42 Likes 1 Share |
