In an article titled 'Nigeria's Miserable Choices' Published on New York Times yesterday Monday February 16th, and written by the editorial board of the US newspaper, they described Nigerian president as a 'lousy incumbent' & described Buhari as a 'former autocratic leader'. See article below
The Nigerian government was supposed to hold presidential elections this past weekend, which presented voters with the dispiriting choice of keeping a lousy incumbent or returning to power a former autocratic leader. Now they will have to wait at least six weeks to cast votes.
The Nigerian election commission said earlier this month that it had pushed back the vote until at least March 28,
after the country’s security chiefs warned that they could not

In an interview with Punch Newspaper, a national leader of the
Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Bode George, said he will flee if General Buhari wins, here is the excerpt below
Why did the military surround former Governor Bola Tinubu’s house?
If Bola Tinubu finds his way into
national government, I will go on exile. He hasn’t the temerity and the
calmness of mind. They don’t even know what to do in power. Because the
vice-president is his boy, he will just order that Bode George should be
picked up. He said soldiers came to him but he must have been dreaming.

Jonathan is afraid Buhari may Jail him-Says Obasanjo
Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo has accused President Goodluck Jonathan of planning to obstruct the upcoming elections out of fear that he could be imprisoned by All Progressives Candidate (APC), Muhammadu Buhari if the latter wins.
Obasanjo stated this on Saturday, February 14, at his home in Abeokuta, Ogun State during a meeting with journalists.
“I
believe the President’s fear is particularly motivated by whom he sees
as his likely successor, that is, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. I believe
people would have been telling him that Buhari is a hard man; he will
fight corruption and he (Jonathan) may end up in jail if not in the
grave. I think people would have told him that sort of thing and he is
not the only one afraid of Buhari,” Obasanjo stated.
Obasanjo however stated that he does not expect Buhari to go on a revenge mission if he has learnt his lesson.

I will break the two terms Jinx in Oyo State-Ajimobi
Gov Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State had an interview with Punch Newspaper where the Governor answered some questions from the journalist, when asked about the two term jinx in oyo state here is what the governor said.
No governor has won elections
twice in Oyo State. Going by this, your opponents say history doesn’t
favour you. Are you already prepared to lose?
There is always a first time to
everything. There has never been a Governor Ajimobi before me. I am the
first and I will do two terms as a governor. It will then become
history. The beauty of it is that the major contestants in the state now
have been former governors (Adebayo Alao-Akala and Rashidi Ladoja) whom
I defeated in 2011. I am still going to defeat them again. Apart from
the fact that I have beaten them before, people will look at the track
record of each of the contestants I am referring to.
