It's a pity that Jonathan and PDP by extention has lost this election. In my opinion these are some mistakes that lead to the loss of this election by PDP
1. PDP should have settled with the aggrieved governors Ameachi, Kwankwaso and co
2. He should have dropped Sambo and probably pick Kwankwaso to garner more vote from the north.
3. He choose the wrong northerners to work with
4. Ibrahim Shekareu and other northerner he gave ministerial positions did nothing for him
5. PDP underestimated the merger of ACN and CPC

Feel free to add your own observations

I AM A PROGRESSIVE but i think one of their errors is that they lack foresight, the ought to have gone through election process before any other party , why using card reader? why not a lot of registered voters from ss and se , why starving apc states, why not talking to d governor of benue state who refused to pay workers for about 6 months ,but they are not concerned as long as them the chop money like say tomorrow no dey

The imminent defeat is a much needed one for the PDP. PDP remains the only near-national party in Nigeria. Now we will know the true members of pdp. Let there be peace.

No. 5 is absolutely correct
Re: Mistakes Of Jonathan And PDP by champion69(m): 3:10pm On Mar 31, 2015
Also Jonathan should have known that PDP has always rigged in most electoral process to win election, and he has not done enough to win election without rigging, for him to have allow the process to flow seamlessly.

In addition to what op listed, pdp undersetimated the influence of yorubas in the scheming of nigerian politics, no yoruba man enjoyed juicy political appointments during Jonathan administration and finally, pdp did not get the backings of the retired military generals that help shaped this present nigeria

Am a Gej fan but he is to blame for his woes. He aligned himself with the wrong people and took the election/masses for granted thinking it was gonna be like before! I thought PDP was smart... Am disappointed!.. Anyways in life We Win Some and Lose Some.. And indeed the best rigger won.

I still want PDP to rise again and not die off.. lets see what the future holds sha cool

(1) He underperformed in his duties as president and thought he could fool Nigerians by advertizing vague achievements in the media.


(2) He surrounded himself with the most obnoxious set of people ever seen in Nigerian politics......


(3) He was unable to control his wife's excesses and it ultimately became the trigger to his downfall. (Port-harcout/ Amechi drama).

GEJ identified and aligned himself with a particular region, he was not a national president but a regional one; he encouraged and used religion and ethnicity to divide the polity; he allowed some ppl: Asari Dokubo, Edwin Clark, his wife (among others) to insult and ridicule major regions on his behalf, forgetting he would have to come , cap in hand, to beg for their votes.
He thought dividing Nigerians along these lines was sufficient to distract them away for his ineptitude and excuse him and his conies from the litany of corruptions and deliberate neglect.

It serves him right as his defeat has definitely strengthened democracy in Nigeria; it has given ppl renewed belief that their votes can and certainly will count; therefore anyone taking over now and in future would be careful not to repeat the same mistakes because Nigerians are beginning to learn how to make their leaders responsible and accountable to them - including GMB should he also dare to fail us.

- Jonathan took corruption to a new lever never seen in the history of Nigeria.
- His regime is very divisive and tribalistic. I guess some people told him that he should not allow Obasanjo to control him, which could have been a good thing if those advising had told him to align himself with the wishes of the people. Rather, their narrative was " now it's our time to steal!'. -PDP went from being a National looting squad to a regional looting squad. Before too long, the centre could not hold. There were dissenting voices even within the party.
- Jonathan never took anything of importance to Nigeria serious e.g insecurity, corruption, infrastructural deficit, power etc.
- Jonathan relegated the SW in the scheme of things. People go double cross am for election.
- Asari Dokubo and so many criminals who his regime elevated verbally attacked people from other regions of Nigeria.

The loss of preidentil election iby pdp (jonathn) is about fulfiling norther agenda. The whole north overwhemingly voted buhari even in pdp strong holds. What does it suggest when wr turn areas in d north eg Bornu, Yobe nd Adamawa recorded 95%)PVCs collection nd 100% for Buhari. the question is when did these people get the parmanent pvc bec in periods of parmanet pvc collection the whole town were empty due to boko harm ctivities. yet they got 95% vote. One should also not lose sight of d roles played by Dasuki and Gusau. Both had deceived Jonthan to clear these bokoharam infested states for easy rigging. At least one cannot say they did not vote. Those pretending to be pdp but apc in disguised have been exposed. It all about north getting power back. God is watcing and with great consequence it shall sliped off also.

it's not true, everybody rigged election, but the highest rigger this time is Jega for disenfranchising SS & SE over 4m voters, it was a coordinated crime.

I think he wasn't prepared for the office and also refused to prepare himself after entering the office.

I still remember 2011 we saw d messiah in him because he has the characteristics of the masses (no shoes; poor home; no godfather; a minority; a PHD holder etc)...

but wat did we Nigerians get in return. .. massive corruption; insecurity; inability to take solid and sound decision etc etc

So now we have decided to try the man Buhari whom for yrs has been begging us to give him a chance. ..

if he messes up...
Then we the people will vote him out jst have we have done to pdp & jona...

Nigeria asked for an opposition party that could make us have viable alternative,pdp was becoming a monster,i just pray we have not created another monster in apc because many politicians are riding on the image of buhari to victory.I pray by 2019 buhari will still allow opposition to thrive and allow nigerians choose.
