It said, "Start with Mr. Jonathan, whose party has run the country since 1999 and who stumbled into the Presidency on the death of his predecessor in 2010, the PDP's reign has been a sorry one. Mr. Jonathan has shown little willingness to tackle endemic corruption. When the governor of the central bank reported that $20bn had been stolen, his reward was to be sacked.

"He has shown little enthusiasm for tackling insecurity, and even less competence. Quick to offer condolences to France after the attack on Charlie Hedbo, Mr. Jonathan waited almost two weeks before speaking up about a Boko Haram attack that killed hundreds, perhaps thousands, of his compatriots.

"The single bright spot of his rule has been Nigeria's economy, one of the world's fastest-growing. Yet that is largely despite the government rather than because of it, and falling oil prices will temper the boom. The prosperity has not been broadly shared: under Mr. Jonathan poverty has increased. Nigerians typically die eight years younger than their poorer neighbours in nearby Ghana."

The magazine described Buhari as an incorruptible and honest leader but maintained that the former military head of state had "blood on his hands."
It said Buhari would be able to revive the demoralised military and address insecurity.

It added, "Buhari is a sandal-wearing ascetic with a record of fighting corruption. Few nowadays question his commitment to democracy or expect him to turn autocratic: he has repeatedly stood for election and accepted the outcome when he lost. He would probably do a better job of running the country, and in particular of tackling Boko Haram. As a northerner and Muslim, he will have greater legitimacy among villagers whose help he will need to isolate the insurgents. As a military man, he is more likely to win the respect of a demoralised army.

"We are relieved not to have a vote in this election. But were we offered one we would-with a heavy heart-choose Buhari. Jonathan risks presiding over Nigeria's bloody fragmentation. If Buhari can save Nigeria, history might even be kind to him."

So now that there is an obviously effective regional/joint nation effort to curb the insurgency kindly tell us another reason to vote the unrepentant coupist.
Hogwash!

Nonsense!
So its better to stick with a government that is basically dragging Nigeria to its knees!
Buhari organised a coup against one of the worst governments that has ever ruled a nation.
You are probably supporting Jonathan because you are either a Christian or from the South-South or unfairly benefiting from his government.
Search your heart!
