Why Jonathan Lost To Buhari – Sanusi by MuguliciousMUGU: 1:44am On Apr 06, 2015 |
Former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and the current Emir of Kano, Lamido Sanusi, says President Goodluck Jonathan lost because of the mood of voters which was determined by the economic conditions and level of poverty across the country. Sanusi, who is now known as Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II, said this during an interview with our correspondent on Saturday. He said the voting showed that areas which had a high rate of poverty felt neglected by the Peoples Democratic Party-led Federal Government over the years. Sanusi said the presidential poll results showed that the figures of the PDP in presidential elections from 1999 had continued to dwindle significantly. The monarch said the PDP got fewer votes in 2007, less in 2011 and then fewer votes in 2015 causing the ruling party to finally lose to the opposition party, the All Progressives Congress. He said, “I think in 2011, it was very clear that Jonathan had lost many states in the North that had previously been won by former President Olusegun Obasanjo. And it was clear that there was a general sense by people of the Federal Government not investing in the areas where there is a high level of poverty. “I believe more and more of those states began to feel that sense of not feeling the federal presence and not feeling the impact of democracy in their pockets and I think it is extremely important for people to connect with the government and when you have such conditions after 16 years of democracy, it was natural that people would want to have a change and I think this is basically what has happened. “I don’t think it is something about an individual, I think it is something that has been going on for a number of years and you could see the states won by the PDP in 1999 and what they won in 2003, what they won in 2007, 2011 and you would begin to see the changes in the way Nigerians were responding so it was a matter of time.” Sanusi, however, commended Jonathan, the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari; and the Independent National Electoral Commission for the conduct and atmosphere of the election. He said change of leadership was good for democracy as it encouraged healthy competition. He said it was the trend in democracies across the world. “I think it is good for the country that you have different parties winning and if the APC performs, they get another term and if they don’t, they get voted out after four years and it is extremely important that this happens so let us not see it in terms of somebody losing,” he said. Sanusi also urged Buhari not to focus solely on corruption but on other areas that required urgent government attention such as education, decaying infrastructure, diversifying the economy and fixing power. http://www.punchng.com/news/why-jonathan-lost-to-buhari-sanusi/ 32 Likes 2 Shares |

Story for the gods, the north has from time memorial had a high rate of poverty, it's not a new development neither is it caused by Jonathan's administration, people voted on basis of religion and ethnic sentiments that's the bitter truth. Sanusi, stop painting the obvious. 120 Likes 7 Shares |

only northerners can develop the north don't wait for the president/government to do that. since independence, the north has ruled more so why is there still poverty prevalent there? education is key to northern liberation and GEJ has been so kind to start tackling it while BH fights western education. Sanusi, you can use your office and alleviate poverty too. elections were based on tribe especially in the north. 82 Likes 6 Shares |

It is funny how Nigerians act like there was no corruption before GEJ. As if the North was developed before he came to office or as if there was light before wicked GEJ took it from them. GEJ lost for one reason only. All the kingpins who were winning elections for PDP moved to APC. Now the new PDP (APC) is here with all the old corrupt members, but only worse because now Tinubu calls the shots. Is funny because the masses see those corrupt PDP officeholders in APC yet think something is going to change. This was all about taking power by force so the Northerns can be happy and those with oil block can continue enjoying. Tinubu of course will make sure to get his share of course 75 Likes 5 Shares |

Am a pro-APC,but truth is northerners are the architect of their own mischief.. They have had more people in power,so they shouldn't use level of poverty as a yard to criticise GEJ's government,because it didn't start from him. Till the northerners are truthful to themselves,they will keep going in circle. 45 Likes 3 Shares |

There was poverty before GEJ and there'll be poverty after GEJ, it doesn't mean the North won't still vote for Buhari if he's the only Northern candidate in 2019. 18 Likes |

MuguliciousMUGU: GEJ is dumb. Period. Besides, he is an ingrate. SW was the arrowhead that got him to be president, but on getting there, he was hijacked by ijaws and the igbos as their president. I'm glad that GEJ lost big time. Anyway, I think he tired anyway. It is a relief. 14 Likes 3 Shares |

SNL is making it look as if GEJ invented poverty in the North. Poverty, illiteracy and ignorance were the hallmarks of the North even before Nigeria became a democratic state in 1999. The reason why Northern leaders keep their own people in perpetual poverty and ignorance is for easy manipulation. Manipulations on how to maintain political power without being challenged. Who were the last two leaders before Nigeria became a democratic State ![]() ![]() ![]() GEJ, a southerner did far more than any northerner has ever done for the North since independence. Northerners are the architects of their own problems. Ironically, while SNL is busy blaming poverty as the reason why GEJ lost. No one is blaming the state governors, who by far have the biggest responsibility of providing social amenities to the people. GEJ's lost was never about economic development in the North. Even if trillions of Naira was budgeted by GEJ to develop the North, they will still vote him out. It was never about poverty. It was all about returning power back to the North. If they really cared about development, then they would have long realized that the current structure of Nigeria can never guarantee long lasting development. The review of Nigeria's economic structure is the only way to achieve long-term economic development to all corners of Nigeria. Unfortunately, the very people claiming marginalization and neglect are the very people against the practice of true Economic Federalism and the implementation of the Confab Report resolutions. 36 Likes 4 Shares |

reasons why Jonathan lost: He allowed his wife too much interference in politics He chose the wrong set of people to work with He is not tough on anti-corruption He doesn't seem to understand the roles of a commander in chief He believes stealing is not corruption He made vagabonds billionaires and ignored the masses immigration scam The chibok girls saga and insurgency in the North He divided the country along tribal, religion and ethnic line He is a good man but a bad leader HE IS CLUELESS 34 Likes 9 Shares |
