Flets:
Providence brought you this far sir, Congrats for writing your name in gold.

Your best wishes for this country was never hidden, you were not as forceful as Nigerians wished because of our years of military rule. We lacked patience to see your policies come into tangible fruition.

I will always maintain that you are Nigeria's best president. We were few months away from implementing the confab report that would have enthroned true federalism which would have set us on the path of recovery and greatness.

I am certain posterity will judge you fairly. Through all the insults, you never reacted. You gave all freedom like we've never seen before.

IF WE MUST PRACTICE DEMOCRACY, YOU ARE THE TEMPLATE.

I don't think you lost this election, you are just a victim of a sectional majority and Nigeria actually lost you instead.

I know we Nigerians are an impatient lot with unachievable high hopes for the incoming government. In few months time, after our hopes have been met with reality. ... then we shall sing your praises.

Whenever the history of this country will be written, your section will be in gold.

Go with your head up high, even you opponents would not have taken the step you took on this journey.

You remain my HERO.

This is the best piece I have ever read on Nairaland. God bless you is all I can say.
Only the devil won't be moved.

this is the case of "fulfilling all righteousness" cus i know that you and PDP r heading to court.
Please for d mean time, do not allow Bode George to go on exile. Marylin Ogar should still be there as DSS spokesman abi na woman. Ffk should not be tamed because we need him to commit more offence wit his leaking mouth. Its time Pa E. K. Clark start listing the PDP members that worked against ur re-election cus that is what he knows how to do best.
Tell Asari not to speak for his own good, infact i knw he wont cus he is lily livered.
Where is mama piss? Say me hi to her and let her know that her 60yrs prophesy was just but a dream.

My message to President Goodluck Jonathan
We're are glad to have had you lead us this last
6yrs. You were the perfect example of a
gentleman, & a leader in the true sense of the
word, that was why you allowed the opposition to
flourish rather than suppress them. Thanks to
you, we now have a strong opposition party. It
has gone down the annals of Nigeria, that you were
able to conduct credible elections according to
international standards twice in this country,
where the will of the people prevailed, & even
when you lost, you
gallantly coincided defeat. You paid the ultimate price(your ambition) for peace to reign in our dear country. In
fact you have left such an example that we
expect the Apc to uphold in 2019, & allow the will
of the people to prevail against all odds. You also
delivered on your promise on Boko Haram. Yeah!
You had your weak points, & we all do, but I
want you to know that if the presidential
elections were to hold again, I & many more
Nigerians will still vote for you. Our votes for
you were not a waste.

like if you think patience would have crashed her computer during a toefl test.

You are right
GEJ is a gentle man,but surrounded with wolf,the first on the list is his wife,followed by FFK,FAYOSE,OPC,ASARI,TOMPOLO,PMPKIRI,ABATI and many more,they thought they are campaigning for him but not,rather campaigning for the opposition by their utterances and behaviour

Re: President Jonathan Releases Statement On 2015 Presidential Election Result by Sagamite(m): 8:39am On Apr 01, 2015
Moves:
@Sagamite, even when a dishonourable fellow performs a honourable act; it acts is still deemed honourable. For every crime you can accuse GEJ same or similar accusation can be made against any of the ruling class in both APC & PDP. In this same Nigeria IBB annulled what is considered the freest election in Nigeria, today same IBB is accorded respect and walks freely in Naija. In 2011 we were all witnesses to the bloodshed's following the election, there was no way BuharI could have won that election, even Tinubu on numerous occasions and even of recent alluded to it; which as we have seen today the then failed alliance between ACN & CPC then, which was restated and morphed to APC with a stronger ACN ( more governors) produced the required result, yet hundreds of innocent people murdered in Buhari''s name or in pursuit of his cause; not a word from the General; he choose to look the other way, GEJ said his ambition is not worth the blood of any person; by doing this he has kept his word, avoided an avoidable crisis for the country. He could have chosen to do otherwise tonight, we may not know if he had, how it would have ended for him; but I can tell you it would have been worse for ordinary Nigerians on the street.

An act deemed honourable is not the same thing as a honourable man.

There was nowhere I said the act is not honourable, I said the man is not honourable.

Please when you talk to me in future, NEVER make up stuupid assertions to back your point. Which IBB is accorded respect? And how does that or should that affect the way SAGAMITE thinks? angry

IBB is respected in which world? Where do you even see him walk freely?

I love Jonathan a lot, as a good man, a reserved and gentle person, a good and patient husband; but not as a president.
I am happy he has been voted out, I have prayed for this all along and even though I can not vouch for any politician, I encourage change and I'm glad that things will take a different turn with other people at the elm of affairs.

GENERAL MUHAMMADU BUHARI PROMISED THE FOLLOWING:

1) Stabilize oil prices at $100 a barrel

2)To reduce fuel price to N45 a litre

3) Provide free education to all Nigerian children

4) Pay the poorest 25 million people N5000 every month

5)Generate 40,000 megawatts of electricity in 4 years

6)Pay youth corpers for one more year after service

7)Provide one meal a day for all Nigerian students

Provide 3 million jobs in his first year

9)To make N1 to be equal to $1

10) Build 4 refineries in 4 years

11) On Boko Haram

Buhari, who was the military ruler from December 31, 1983, to August 27, 1985, first of all speaks on the main challenge which Nigeria faces, Boko Haram.

During the election campaign Buhari frequently assured Nigerians that he would stop the insurgency:

“Our government will bring to an end the menace of Boko Haram terror that is plaguing the society. Nigerians are turning into refugees in their country,” he said during a rally in Adamawa. “What we save from the fight against corruption and leakages, we will invest heavily in education, infrastructure, equipment, and teachers. The best we can do for our generation and future generation is to give them qualitative and quantitative education. An APC government throughout the country definitely will do that.”

Professor Yemi Osinbajo, who is Buhari’s running mate, said that if elected they will personally lead the war against Boko Haram: “Fighting insurgency requires the Commander in Chief to lead from the front by providing leadership.”

“Instead of politicizing the issue, APC will galvanise all support and ensure that the threat to the territorial integrity of the country is put on check, and General Buhari will ensure that the entire nation is mobilized irrespective of party affiliation to solve the problem.”

Speaking recently at Chatham House in London, Buhari promised that if he wins, the world will stop worrying about Nigeria:

“Let me assure you that if I am elected president, the world will have no cause to worry about Nigeria as it has had to recently; that Nigeria will return to its stabilizing role in West Africa; and that no inch of Nigerian territory will ever be lost to the enemy because we will pay special attention to the welfare of our soldiers in and out of service, we will give them adequate and modern arms and ammunitions to work with, we will improve intelligence gathering and border controls to choke Boko Haram’s financial and equipment channels, we will be tough on terrorism and tough on its root causes by initiating a comprehensive economic development plan promoting infrastructural development, job creation, agriculture and industry in the affected areas. We will always act on time and not allow problems to irresponsibly fester, and I, Muhammadu Buhari, will always lead from the front and return Nigeria to its leadership role in regional and international efforts to combat terrorism.”

12) On corruption

As Buhari had a rare reputation as a fighter against corruption during his time in charge of Nigeria from 1983-85, a lot of his promises connect to it.

The APC presidential flag-bearer said it was not only a civic duty but that every Nigerian was morally-bound to sustain the struggle to rid “this country of the prevailing corruption”.

He stressed that he would make sure that those who steal public money are made to return it, noting that the fight against corruption will form a major focus of the APC government.

Buhari said despite his mature age he feels “spiritually strong enough and physically agile to give every sacrifice in our bid to salvage our dear nation from imminent economic and social disintegration.”

“On corruption, there will be no confusion as to where I stand. Corruption will have no place and the corrupt will not be appointed into my administration. First and foremost, we will plug the holes in the budgetary process. Revenue producing entities such as NNPC and Customs and Excise will have one set of books only. Their revenues will be publicly disclosed and regularly audited. The institutions of state dedicated to fighting corruption will be given independence and prosecutorial authority without political interference.”

He also added: “We will stop corruption and make the ordinary people, the weak and the vulnerable our top priority.”

13) On youth unemployment

Nigeria is the most populous country on the continent and the problem of youth unemployment is very crucial.

General Buhari has promised to create one million jobs for Igbo youths in the southeast when he becomes the president.

He stated that he will realise this through coal deposits:

“We are banking on huge coal deposits located at Amasiodo, Inyi and Leje axis of Enugu Coal belt. We are going to award contracts for mining and construction of coal-fired power plant, unlike PDP that since 1999 promised to revamp the coal fields and 16 years after, nothing has been done.”

The APC’s presidential candidate speaking on the issue at a rally in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state, last Thursday, promised to provide the country’s residents with 3 million jobs annually and handle the lingering issue of unemployment.

14) On economy

“On the economy, the fall in prices of oil has brought our economic and social stress into full relief. After the rebasing exercise in April 2014, Nigeria overtook South Africa as Africa’s largest economy. Our GDP is now valued at $510 billion and our economy rated 26th in the world. Also on the bright side, inflation has been kept at single digit for a while and our economy has grown at an average of 7% for about a decade,” Buhari stated.

Buhari said that the Nigerian economy is too reliant on oil and gas. He claimed that the development of the agriculture sector and the revival of the textile industry would contribute to helping the economy move forward.

During a presidential rally in Owerri, Imo, he promised that industries will also be revitalised while soft loans will be given to small and medium enterprises, aside from other infrastructural development.

Buhari promised party supporters in Brinin Kebbi that “ending current epileptic power supply will boost the economy and attract domestic and foreign investment.”

15) On the Nigerian Army

Muhammadu Buhari has promised to restructure the Nigerian army and the Nigeria police force, if elected.

He said that the need to restructure the army and the police became necessary because Nigeria’s enemies had become more sophisticated in the use of weapons.

“Our army and police will be highly equipped with all the required weapons, educated and uneducated youths will be employed through different programmes that will be created by our administration. We will rebuild our educational system and employ youths not on sentiment and god-fatherism. We will as well find ways of restrengthening the country’s economy.”

16) On religion

Buhari is from the North and his faith is Islam. But as he said, he not a religious fanatic. The APC has also denied all the allegations on the ex-general’s religious bigotry:

“Buhari had been a military Head of State in Nigeria and had the power to make a decree and it will become a law in Nigeria. At that time, he did not make any attempt to Islamise Nigeria neither did he Islamise Nigeria. Is it now that you need the National Assembly to put a stamp of approval on what you do that he will come and Islamise Nigeria?” said the party.

When he met with Catholic bishops Buhari vowed not to Islamise Nigeria:

“For me, the issue of religion was, and should always, be a matter of personal conviction. This personal conviction approach to religion has defined my work and interactions all my life, including my tenure in office as military Head of State. The religion of all those I worked with was never a factor in their progress or in what happened to them. All that mattered then, and should still matter today, are competence, integrity and readiness to be fair to all.
