I felt some comfort in my heart that should this alliance work out, our generation would have set the path towards redeeming its image and leaving behind a legacy for future generations. What we need is an alliance that would bring about meaningful change and progressive development in our country. The biggest problem we face as a nation is corruption and it's successful eradication/reduction will ensure that every sector of the country will begin to function. I pray that God in His infinite mercies will give us a leader that would lead us aright and give us the desired change we need Amin.Ibrahimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522281603276666782.post-48325277285286559042011-01-23T07:00:19.927+01:002011-01-23T07:00:19.927+01:00This sounds like a PDP agent at his best, if not,...This sounds like a PDP agent at his best, if not, how would you expect a Northern establishment to allow a Ribadu presidency?

But I think Buhari should head the presidency while Ribadu should help cleanup the mess in EFCC and reclaim its glory. He will definitely get the full support of Buhari. And will start projecting his future presidency. Age is on his side and he should not worry. Then Nigerians will enjoy double benefits and the change will be extremely good for the nation.

Despite that I personally don't mind if Buhari concede to Ribadu(Against my sentimental feelings for Buhari, I would love to see that happened, if that will lead to victory for all), but I always see the trade off between Strength vs Wisdom, support of south-west vs support of mighty North, these and many more issues need to consider before taking action, and I would like to know how many of us are ready to die for Ribadu?muhalisuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14073498121532314832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522281603276666782.post-21091510322884934732011-01-20T02:00:49.144+01:002011-01-20T02:00:49.144+01:00This discourse lacks objective focus and is oblivi...This discourse lacks objective focus and is oblivious of stark reality on ground. For God's sake, do not let me say that you are treading the path of "Blesphemy". How dare you ever think in that direction? Are you positioning yourself should in case, now or in the near future, Ribadu stumbles on his GOODLUCK? Do not forget goodluck rarely comes to those who include it on their agenda. (Though we have one now). If ever Ribadu wanted to associate with Buhari he should have idenfied himself with him overtly and covertly all along (Hamid Ali has done that)and not allow himself to have been conscripted by Lagos-Ibadan axis. Ko gidan giya akwai babba.

If anything, Buhari has performed an exceptional feat by coming up with a new party that is attracting all and sundry - hence the bickering – and is able to compete with older and richer parties. Besides, you argument about age not being on Buhari's side is simply theoretical and too simplistic to be taken down hook, line and sinker, even by the very refined mind you are seeking to sell this idea to. How old was Nelson Mandela when he became South Africa’s president? Did age stop him from standing out and becoming easily the most credible former president in the world? My main worry about handing over the ticket to Nuhu Ribadu is that he is too inexperienced and may not even be taken seriously by Northern voters even if told to do so by Buhari. But it remains an option and if in the end we have to, then we will. Again, you concern about splitting votes and allowing the PDP an easy victory is genuine. But even if Buhari backs down for Ribadu what about the Shekarau factor, what about the Bola Tinubu influence in ACN and the recent manipulation in Lagos that has attracted protests? While Shekarau could split votes Tinubu could, being ACN’s largest financier and godfather, make Ribadu incapable of delivering just as Obasanjo made it harder for him as you rightly mentioned. We hope they are able to reach some agreement, except that something tells me someone is not being 100 per cent truthful. And this is why Buhari is cautious with agreeing to an alliance.MUSAALIYUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12480256882417742995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522281603276666782.post-78363650673034557212011-01-19T21:31:51.741+01:002011-01-19T21:31:51.741+01:00Now Dr Tilde give us follow up response.

As police officer he did not head office such as command, college or State as an ACP or so, which should have given him more exposure in handling a public office. <br />Young, Energetic, is important, but above all WISDOM and EXPERIENCE is most IMPORTANT.

The premises of your argumnets are both genuine and worthy of consideration, if and only if, we can actually trust Ribadu's bid for the presidency. The chances that Ribadu is not a PDP stooge in ACN is at best, a 50/50 probability.<br /><br />I this regards, I expected you to have discuss the logic of Obasonjo and Jonathan granting Ribadu presidential pardon, so that he (Ribadu) can come and challenge the same dou in the forthcoming election. Even common sense would not comprehend this, which is the reason why I said Ribadu’s sincerity is at best, a 50/50 probabiltiy. Therefore, we have every reason to question Ribadu's integrity as a presidential candidate, other than coming to do the bids of Obasanjo/Jonathan, to ensure that the votes of the opposition are divided, which will guarantee Jonathan winning the election.<br /><br />Moreso, we also have fresh in our memory Ribadu's selective justice in EFCC, where only corrupts politicians that were not align to the then President Obasanjo where brought to book.<br /><br />However, we do not have any reason to question Buhari's sincerity and resolve to move Nigeria forward, atleast by putting a stop to the current endemic corruption in the land.<br /><br />I believe that rather than insisting on contesting for presidency, Ribadu should drop his humanly ego and step down for Buhari. This will give him the rare opportunity to prove himself to Nigerians beyond reasonable doubts: that he is for Nigerian progress and development. Also, if he does so, and Buhari wins the election, Ribdu would have golden prospect and chance to work together with Buhari, gain more experiences by fighting corruption with all the freedom and state apparatus in his favour. This will also add to Ribadu’s credentials and the chance for a clean win in the future election.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Shariff Ghali<br />UKUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11184336419550553870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522281603276666782.post-36971326926432403932011-01-19T11:32:44.138+01:002011-01-19T11:32:44.138+01:00salam Aliyu.

Dr Tilde, this time around, your conscience is not clear and will never be clear as long as you hold prejudices and nurse hidden grievances while using your pen against The trusted man, your vision and wisdom will certainly be blurred by the power of justice, equity and fairness. This article is malignant to you and your people.Ribadu is certainly your choice, you have now turned your pen, blog and column into a campaign machinery for Ribadu; no wonder your lexicon, puns and names are mere panegyrics in favor of your star. Since you call GEJ a scion to Obasanjo, let you coin another lexical item and dive into your usual semantic field to sanctify your holy candidate , the giant corruption fighter to your depiction according. In fact,this article is just a waste of talent, abuse of wisdom and a futile effort of winning the heart of masses. If you are sponsored to do this then you have a hell of task ahead. I m sorry for sounding different today because you are too far from being objective in all your discourses related to Buhari, who is the hero of the masses. There is no time in history when Buhari fled his country just for fear of persecution. Only a person who is deadly coward flees his country for his personal safety as your hero did. Jonathan pardoned Ribadu and solicited his loyalty. Now it is his turn to reciprocate by dividing our votes. If you are democratically minded and oriented, assess your readers' views and see whether you win the debate. Haba dr! change for better and hope for better; think of a free and fair title, for this one does not sell, consider the other way round, why Ribadu should concede for Buhari.before you compose another one presumably on free and fair election.NIGERIA SAI MAI GASKIYA!
