10 REASONS PRESIDENT GEJ WILL BE REELECTED. (Part A)

 (1)The power of incumbency in Nigerian politics is the surest way to winning elections. In the past, politicians were judged by the achievements they have made. Nowadays, they are judged by their ethnic background, media grandstanding, many thugs they can mobilise during rallies, and connections made with the same recycled elitist class, etc. Anyone at the top holds the sceptre; he becomes the Capone, the protagonist who never dies and is labelled the long awaited messiah. He does no wrong and could stay on even if he amends the Constitution many times to stew his schemes. All institutions are wired to favour a Nigerian incumbent politician and only divine hands can decide otherwise, also the people are too disorganised to know what to do.

 (2)The President has settled the elites.

Pres. Obasanjo took the movement of settling Nigeria's former elite or their children to a crescendo, when he came back into power; Pres. Jonathan has only perfected the act. And since the elite intimidate the masses over politics, President GEJ, who has reinsured Nigeria’s largesse, has a sure ride. They have no inhibitions than to support his every wish. He is not a threat in anyway to their greed.

For instance, Pres. GEJ rewarded every of them with an award during the Centenary celebration, dead or alive, deserving and not. All were brought together to feast to the chagrin of the powerless masses. The recent concluded 2015 National Conference is just one of the many ways to settle. Other schemes are also divided to divert attention where necessary and unfortunately, the civil society which use to echo a voice of reason have been roped in.

 (3) The ETHNIC & RELIGOUS Cards have never been rifer than now, and whatever credentials a Moslem presidential aspirant could have used to sell himself (were there to be a level playing field), have been destroyed by the insane Boko Haram Terrorists war. The Moslem elite do not understand that even their previously loyal followers are now afraid of what next they will do with power in their hands. The only way of regaining trust from the Nigerian masses will be to openly tell Nigerians where they stand in the fight against the crime thriving in their backyards.

 (4)The illiteracy and poverty strategy employed by the successive government to disillusion the masses has so thrived that citizens can die for any other thing than recognising what good governance truly means. The average Nigerian is more alert at fighting his fellow poverty stricken neighbour than to resist the oppression inflicted by their leaders. 

 (5)There is no other viable opposition political party on ground for Nigerians to express their aggression and bitterness at what the PDP has done to them democratically in the last 15 years or so.

The All People Congress, APC, the only opposition party in Nigeria tends to only gather left outs disgruntled Nigerians who have lost the fight for grabbing power at all cost, hence assembled together under another name to achieve the same aim. It will be useless to waste precious time at mentioning the rest of the political parties in this article, since they will wake from slumber to endorse the PDP Aspirant in the person of GEJ.
