I have taken time to observe with a sense of amazement the political intrigues especially for the last few weeks. Matter of factly, the responses of the two front runners contesting to be President of Nigeria. The Chairman of INEC - Atahiru Jega postponed the elections for six weeks having yielded to advice from the military with regards to protecting Nigerians from the menance of boko haram.

The military authorise recently received a stash of modern war equipments that they have placed order for sometime now. Before February 14, boko haram as usual had posted an on line video that they would hit targets especially polling centers during the elections. In response to this threat the National Security Adviser had hinted in the UK of a possibility of postponing the elections to guaranty the security of lives and property which did not go down well with APC. Whether or not it is right to do so is not what is important but the responses of the political parties especially the main actors. This is not the first time elections are postponed in Nigeria and even with that it is within the laws as described in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

What are the actions/reactions of GEJ and GMB?
1. GEJ took this as an opportunity to showcase his achievements by personally leading his campaign to every nook and crany of Nigeria. Holding meetings with Traditional leaders, market associations, student bodies, union leaders and so on. He did not leave any stone unturned be it in the North or South, East or West. He visited even some places supposedly PDP strongholds even mandating his Vice President to go to some areas he could not personally visit. Like the Americans would say of their politicians 'he kissed the baby'. The PDP even increased its adverts and engaged the wife of the President in its campaigning efforts. The active participation of the 'Fitness walk' in Abuja that attracted various artist and sportsmen and women greatly contracted and doused the one million march in Lagos. In my candid opinion GMB would have stolen the day had he actively participated in the one million march in Lagos. Since such rascals as Fayose were casting aspersion of his visit to the UK being on medical grounds.
2. GMB traveled to the UK for upwards of two weeks for a supposedly 'well deserved rest' he delivered a lecture at Chattam House and retuned to Nigeria over a week ago. Since then and now we have seen less of APC adverts and less of their campaigning. Except for the one million march that GMB did not participate in and the social media campaign you would have thought that the APC had gone into oblivion. It would have been an opportunity to increase your awareness and possibly poach political figures that would aid your campaign. The APC did not even attend or have a significant representation in the 90th birthday celebration of former President Shehu Shagari which conotes complacency in the eyes of the northern elites.

The Realities on ground as of present:
The PDP through the efforts of Mr President is receiving results as more political figures are openly declaring their support for him. Shagari and some northern political bigwigs have openly declared their support for him (GEJ). The big blow to the APC is the decamping of some it's main supporters actively backing Kwankwaso in Kano. More people daily are declaring their support for GEJ, probably seeing the possibility that he would return as President.

Knowing politicians it is always their interest first which is permanent and not the party. GMB is a decent human being I am sure he would have reasonable impact if he steps up the ante and not rely on social media campaign because actions translates to reality and not visions without actions.

Hmmm, the last part of your post makes me wonder, will the wailing and gnashing of teeth be in the camp of the "Transformation agent" or "Change agent"

Well the answer to that will be revealed latest April 1st, when result would have been finally collated and announced...May the best man win
