Presidential Debate:your Questions For The Contestants by santanovva(m): 7:10am On Mar 16, 2011
After initial evasive attempts towards the presidential debate,the pdp presidential flag bearer Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has finally thrown his hat (yes,his hat)into the ring for the presidential debate -good news,right?

I remember back in my university days,debates (MANIFESTO NIGHT)use to be the spice of electioneering.it was a time to reach out and win over the vast UNBIASED and right-thinking electorates.if you perform badly in the debate,you will perform badly in the election(barring all iwuruwuru and rigging!)- can the same be the case with the presidential debate?

Like other times(?)BON (Broadcasting Organization of Nigeria)will be coordinating the debate and based on the 'faulty' socio-political and economic structure which have existed in the Nigerian entity,it poses a question:HOW INDEPENDENT,FREE AND FAIR,QUALITATIVE WILL THIS DEBATE BE?

BON,Please,dont fail Nigeria -this generation and the next!

Definitely,we all have one question or the other for the candidates,let us use this medium to outline and direct our questions to (serious)contestants in the Presidential race.
My one question to Dr. Jonathan borders on corruption and discipline:Mr President,Sir,how do you intend to tackle corruption and discipline -Not ONLY on higher levels of administration (and our politicians)but also with the unknown man/woman,the men in/out of uniform,the general polity as a whole?what are your plans,Sir?

Note:lets try to maintain a respectable degree of objectivity and focus with our question.beyond the present bread(abi na biscuit  lipsrsealed)we might get from these candidates,our more-important future,and that of the next generation is at stake!
Regards!
Re: Presidential Debate:your Questions For The Contestants by DeepSight(m): 12:46pm On Mar 16, 2011
I would like to ask the President -

- Why he would refer to an antediluvian recidivist such as IBB as his "Father" "Mentor" and a "great son of Africa"

- Why he would surround himself with the most corrupt elements in Nigerian Society

- Why he would seek to avoid a free and fair debate with other contestants (his PHD notwithstanding)

- Why the grossly illegal acts of the Governor of Ogun State have escaped his attention

- Why Nigeria is witnessing decreasing reserves at a time of increasing International Oil Prices

- Why he exculpated MEND from the October 1 Bomb Blast and is now prosecuting its leaders for that same offence

- Why as the symbol of law and order in Nigeria, he would yet celebrate and frolick with Bode George

- Why he has an illiterate wife, whilst he yet advanced his own education up to the level of a doctorate degree

I would like to ask Buhari -

- Why he thinks he should benefit from a democratic dispensation after commiting treason by truncating a democratic dispensation in the eighties

- Why he has resiled from his previously religiously-bigoted statements: notably his statements in the past that Sharia law should be applied in all states of Nigeria and that no Muslim should ever vote for a Christian (he was not a child when he made these statements)

- Why he had no respect for human rights as Military Head of State

I would like to ask Ribadu -

- Why he is frolicking with a man (Tinubu) who (whilst EFCC boss) he specifically and publicly stated deserves to be in Jail for Corruption

Sir, of all the promises you have made of improving social standards, infrastructure especially power generation, you have been in this position long enough to ATLEAST put some things in place so as to convince us that you are actually at work to improve that sector. But as i ask this question now i have not had light for 3 weeks in my area. What do you have to say on that Sir.

If goodluck can answer this question honestly and convince me with practical examples, then i will surely vote for him come April.

I agree that these are personal questions but seriously why should someone like buhari have the ego to even show his face in Nigerian Politics after all he did in the 80s? I personally dnt beliv in this trashy arrangement called "Nigerian Politics".

If u critically look at the arrangement, u'll see that power only rotates around a certain group of people in Nigeria. until this changes, i refuse to beliv in the Nigerian Electoral System.

Itz a shame that even all the years He spent as a governor, his wife culdnt be brushed up a lil.

I am sure Ribadu will not answer that question.
I would love to ask them too, how come it has been impossible to give Nigerian power, despite the fact that we dont have to re-invent the wheel, we only have to invest into the technology that has been developed and train our smart people
Re: Presidential Debate:your Questions For The Contestants by MyJoe: 3:01pm On Mar 16, 2011
I would like to ask the President -

- Why he would refer to an antediluvian recidivist such as IBB as his "Father" "Mentor" and a "great son of Africa"

You are referring to my statements at Minna. Actually the portion about a worthy son of Minna "making history in Africa" was a reference to General Abubakar, not IBB. Yes, I referred to Babangida as my father. He is an elder statesman. I am sure they have elders where you come from. In Africa we respect our elders.    

- Why he would surround himself with the most corrupt elements in Nigerian Society

Who? Can you name them? This government is fighting corruption. We have jailed party leaders. A former governor escaped but we are having him tried in Dubai and London. The EFCC and ICPC is prosecuting hundreds of cases in court and these are public records. Go to EFCC and get the particulars of the cases. So, my friend, we are fighting corruption.

- Why he would seek to avoid a free and fair debate with other contestants (his PHD notwithstanding)

I don't know where you get your facts, or should I say rumours, from. We have never avoided any debate. We were not properly invited, or we were invited by people unknown to us. Election debates are organised by the Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria, not some unknown bodies. Do you want your federal government to be dealing with faceless individuals? Do you know that before a president agrees to do anything with anyone it must be cleared by the police, the SSS, and the Army? We have always made this clear and we have always stated our readiness to attend debates. If you know who I am you would not have said what you did. My father was a debater. My mother was a debater. Even my grandfather, he was a debater. I won prizes at debate in secondary school. When I ran for deputy governor in Bayelsa State, I participated in debates.

- Why the grossly illegal acts of the Governor of Ogun State have escaped his attention.

They told me you are a lawyer. So you know the position of the Constitution on federalism. We operate a federal system in Nigeria, so the president cannot dabble in Ogun State politics. The House of Assembly and the courts are there to call the governor to order.

- Why Nigeria is witnessing decreasing reserves at a time of increasing International Oil Prices.

Where did you hear we are witnessing decreasing reserves? We are not witnessing decreasing reserves. Don't believe everything you read in the newspapers. Get your facts from the CBN governor or from my office. What is have done is to close the unconstitutional Excess Crude Account to transfer the money to the more constitutional Sovereign Wealth Fund. Get your facts right.

- Why he exculpated MEND from the October 1 Bomb Blast and is now prosecuting its leaders for that same offence

I did not exculpate MEND. I was misquoted. I have already clarified this. I only said we should look beyond MEND to find the real perpertrators of the dastardly act.

- Why as the symbol of law and order in Nigeria, he would yet celebrate and frolick with Bode George

Don't be ridiculous! Of course I have had nothing to do with Bode George. I was embarrassed by his presence at my campaign rally at the TBS. But what would you have done in my place? Drive him away? He was free to attend the rally like any Nigerian citizen and he did not make any speeches.

[s] - Why he has an illiterate wife, whilst he yet advanced his own education up to the level of a doctorate degree[/s]

I would like to ask Buhari -

- Why he thinks he should benefit from a democratic dispensation after commiting treason by truncating a democratic dispensation in the eighties

The kuontry was drifting. Foliticians were not flaying the game by the rules. Fifo were corrupt - not staying on queues in Lagos, smoking Indian hemp at Fela's Shrine, littering the public space, and more.  We had to do something. We had to bring out the kobokos to whip Nigerians into shape. There is a Fulani froverb that human beings are like donkeys - they don't behave if you don't beat them. It was a collective decision of the Army. The Army called upon me to serve my kuontry and I had to obey.

- Why he has resiled from his previously religiously-bigoted statements: notably his statements in the past that Sharia law should be applied in all states of Nigeria and that no Muslim should ever vote for a Christian (he was not a child when he made these statements)

I never said Muslims should not vote for Christians. And I never threatened to affly Shariah to Christians. I only said if Muslims want their hands cuot, it is their business.

- Why he had no respect for human rights as Military Head of State

There was no human rights violation during our time. Only criminals and drug addicts were shot to serve a lesson to others. We flogged those who refused to stay on queue and threw pure water sachets on the road. We brought down crime. We eliminated corruption. Can you kuompare the crime we have today with the crime in our time? There was no corruption in our guovement. There was electricity.

I would like to ask Ribadu -

- Why he is frolicking with a man (Tinubu) who (whilst EFCC boss) he specifically and publicly stated deserves to be in Jail for Corruption

I am member of the ACN. I do not have the power to determine who becomes a member of the party. I am the one running for president, not Tinubu. When we get into government, we will invite technocrats from all over the country and abroad, across political parties. We will build a team that will mould Nigeria and make it the envy of the world. A vote for Ribadu is a vote for that team. A vote for your future.

MyJoe:

Yes, I referred to Babangida as my father. He is an elder statesman. I am sure they have elders where you come from. In Africa we respect our elders.  

Sir, it appears you do not know the meaning, or better, the connotation of the word "statesman." For if you did, there is no way you would apply it to that antediluvian recidivist.

Moreso, you shock the electorate with your lack of political savoir-faire. Referring to that maggot as your "father," especially when you hold the trust of the public as president is simply low. Nothing else but low. Especially since you also referred to him as your "mentor." Pray tell, what has he been mentoring you on?

You are desperate to curry the favour of anybody and everybody in order to win an election, and in that desperation you cuddle up with demons such as IBB whereas if you were discerning enough, you would realize that he is politically irrelevant in the current dispensation.

You stir up revulsion with the pathethic nature of your lack of ethics. You have no courage, and you stand for anything and fall for everything. YOU sir, are a pathetic excuse for a leader.


Who? Can you name them?

We can start with ya wife for one. Not to speak about the hellish lot that you hang about with.

I don't know where you get your facts, or should I say rumours, from. We have never avoided any debate. We were not properly invited, or we were invited by people unknown to us.

Yeah, yeah, you want BON so you can censor the questions asked abi? Don't make us laugh, Mr. President, avoiding an INDEPENDENT debate.

They told me you are a lawyer. So you know the position of the Constitution on federalism. We operate a federal system in Nigeria, so the president cannot dabble in Ogun State politics. The House of Assembly and the courts are there to call the governor to order.

Obviously sir you missed the intendment of my averment. The intendment was to point out the propriety of selecting just such a man as you South West Campaign Co-ORDINATOR?

Ah, I forgot, vampires and snakes are your favourite bed-fellows.

Where did you hear we are witnessing decreasing reserves? We are not witnessing decreasing reserves. Don't believe everything you read in the newspapers. Get your facts from the CBN governor or from my office. What is have done is to close the unconstitutional Excess Crude Account to transfer the money to the more constitutional Sovereign Wealth Fund. Get your facts right.

The SWF is kicking off with a mere $ 1 billion. As at the time you came to power the Foreign Reserve was over $44 billion.

Secondly you seem to be mixing things up. I referred to the Reserve. That is not the Excess Crude Account.

It is disgraceful for a president not to know the distinction.

I did not exculpate MEND.

You did.

I was misquoted.

You lie.



Don't be ridiculous! Of course I have had nothing to do with Bode George. I was embarrassed by his presence at my campaign rally at the TBS. But what would you have done in my place? Drive him away? He was free to attend the rally like any Nigerian citizen and he did not make any speeches.

If you do not know the political significance of having an ex-con jailed for corruption sit right beside you at your rally, then there is nothing anyone can do to help or educate you.

I would like to ask Buhari -

The kuontry was drifting. Foliticians were not flaying the game by the rules. Fifo were corrupt - not staying on queues in Lagos, smoking Indian hemp at Fela's Shrine, littering the public space, and more.  We had to do something.

It was a collective decision of the Army. The Army called upon me to serve my kuontry and I had to obey.

Lol. Nice one. So i take it that as civilian president you will welcome the idea of a military coup against you if your administration is found to be 'drifting.'

Do you know what treason is? Are you aware that that is what you committed? Do you know that it is a capital offence?

I never said Muslims should not vote for Christians. And I never threatened to affly Shariah to Christians. I only said if Muslims want their hands cuot, it is their business.

As you like it, Ayatollah.

There was no human rights violation during our time. Only criminals and drug addicts were shot to serve a lesson to others. We flogged those who refused to stay on queue and threw pure water sachets on the road. We brought down crime. We eliminated corruption. Can you kuompare the crime we have today with the crime in our time? There was no corruption in our guovement. There was electricity.

So will you bring back flogging as a tool of civil correction of elected civilian president.

When we get into government, we will invite technocrats from all over the country and abroad, across political parties. We will build a team that will mould Nigeria and make it the envy of the world. A vote for Ribadu is a vote for that team. A vote for your future.

If you have any integrity like you claim to have, you would not gallivant about under the sponsorship of a champion of the corruption you claim to fight. Especially when you yourself stated that that champion of yours deserves to by in jail. I cannot conceive of a better definition of hypocrisy.

Nothing else but low. Especially since you also referred to him as your "mentor." Pray tell, what has he been mentoring you on?

This is why I hate debates, interviews, town hall meetings, and the like. People are always misquoting you. I never referred to General Babangida as my mentor.

You are desperate to curry the favour of anybody and everybody in order to win an election, and in that desperation you cuddle up with demons such as IBB whereas if you were discerning enough, you would realize that he is politically irrelevant in the current dispensation.

You stir up revulsion with the pathethic nature of your lack of ethics. You have no courage, and you stand for anything and fall for everything. YOU sir, are a pathetic excuse for a leader.

You are getting it wrong. I am the president of all Nigerians. It is my duty to consult with everyone and get the views of stakeholders in order move the country forward. But watch your tongue. You are talking to the president and commander in chief of the armed forces of the federal republic of Nigeria. Don’t take democracy as a licence to insult the president. If it was during the military regime you would be jailed by now.


We can start with ya wife for one. Not to speak about the hellish lot that you hang about with.

What? My wife? Has she ever been charged with, much less, convicted of any crimes? Look, there is a law on libel! Be careful.

Yeah, yeah, you want BON so you can censor the questions asked abi? Don't make us laugh, Mr. President, avoiding an INDEPENDENT debate.

Are you saying the BON is not an independent body? Is BON now owned by the government? If you want to attend debates organized by every Mfon, D[i]i[/i]ck and Boma, that is your business, but the presidency of Nigeria is an exulted office.

Obviously sir you missed the intendment of my averment. The intendment was to point out the propriety of selecting just such a man as you South West Campaign Co-ORDINATOR?

I, too, have heard rumours about Otunba Gbenga Daniel. But has he been impeached, or charged with, or convicted of any crime? Why do you want the president of Nigeria to work by rumours such as can be heard at the Onitsha Market at Onitsha, Dugbe Market at Ibadan or Oba Market at Benin City?

The SWF is kicking off with a mere $ 1 billion. As at the time you came to power the Foreign Reserve was over $44 billion.

Secondly you seem to be mixing things up. I referred to the Reserve. That is not the Excess Crude Account.

It is disgraceful for a president not to know the distinction.

You don’t know what you are talking about. You are not in government, so you sit at some office in Victoria Island (my SSS director just gave me your office address) typing away and thinking you know something, whereas you know nothing of the relationship between the foreign reserve, the ECA and the SWF. And by the way, the foreign reserve is not totally depleted as reported by some newspapers. Yes, we have spent some of it on developmental projects. We now generate 4,000 MW of electricity and I am sure you have noticed the improvement where you are. And due to the massive investments we have made into the sector I can tell you that within the first 6 months into our new dispensation, by the grace of God, there will be 5,000 MW! Nigeria is cruising forward at great speed, and those of you who live outside the country don’t know what is happening in Nigeria. God has been blessing Nigeria and will continue to do so.

If you do not know the political significance of having an ex-con jailed for corruption sit right beside you at your rally, then there is nothing anyone can do to help or educate you.

I see you don’t realize I am the president of all Nigerians and the TBS is a public place. It was an open rally held at a stadium, not a private party held in a hotel room. You need some schooling in elementary political science and fundamental human rights.

Lol. Nice one. So i take it that as civilian president you will welcome the idea of a military coup against you if your administration is found to be 'drifting.'

What are you talking about? There are no coups anymore. The kuontry is back to full cfillian guovment. When I become fresident and Pastor Bakare become bice fresident there will be no room for laziness and corruption and indiscpline. Corruption will vanish. We will restore discpline.

Do you know what treason is? Are you aware that that is what you committed? Do you know that it is a capital offence?

We did not kuommit treason. The kuonstitution was susfended, so no treason. We saved the kuontry from a bad guovment.

So will you bring back flogging as a tool of civil correction of elected civilian president.

The frophet used to flog bad people. I will not be brining it back, it has always been there. In Zamfara State, we flog those who drink alcohol.

If you have any integrity like you claim to have, you would not gallivant about under the sponsorship of a champion of the corruption you claim to fight. Especially when you yourself stated that that champion of yours deserves to by in jail. I cannot conceive of a better definition of hypocrisy.

We fought corruption in this country. We jailed an inspector-general of police. That has never happened before. We indicted governors and other powerful people. When elected we will do more. It is because of corruption that you don’t have electricity, good roads and water. We are not being sponsored by a champion of corruption. We are being sponsored by the ACN and we have been receiving donations from Nigerians who believe in us.

To GEJ :
Why do you have Dokpesi and IBB on your campaign train even after accusing them of bombing Nigeria?

May 2010, you said Nigeria is going to have 6,000MW by December 2010, we are now in March 2011, still struggling with 3,600MW, what happened to your promises? water shortage or traffic at the port?

Why did you have to cancel the FEC meeting just because you're campaign? you suspended the job of a president of Nigeria for a campaign of PDP for the PDPs? is this how you are going to run for another 4 years?

Lastly, Why do you think you can run the country on luck since you never ever dreamt of becoming the president of Nigeria in the first place?


To Buhari :

Who's going to run the government when you finally win, you or Bakare?

You said by 2015, we'd have 10,000=15,000MW, how do you intend to achieve that within 4 years knowing that PDP has in 12years not been able to even generate 2,000MW?

Your manifesto looks nice, but with a retrogressive senate house, how do you intend to pass most of these good things into action?

To Ribadu :

How do you intend to fight corruption when Tinubu is known to have been rumored to be corrupt while you were the head of EFCC?

Do you think you have the willpower to withstand criminals we have running the country if you win the presidential race?

To Gej
Why should i vote for you when your party p.d.p CANNOT improve Electricity in the country for the past 12yrs ? Would you do that if you were in my shoes?

To buhari
What will you do if p.d.p rig the election again ?

To Ribadu
Why cannt you wait still 2015 or so before contesting knowing full well that your votes will be shared with buhari, thus giving Gej a chance of winning.

@MyJoe & Deepsea
I really admire & commend u guyz for ur objectivity in this verge of taking our destinies in our own hands. I must confessed that i ve almost reached to the level of despair cos the kind of ignorancy combined with illitteracy being advertised by many nigerians even youths that ve been so blind-folded with partisan politics that they ve lost reasonability in all their doings & dealings.
Imagine the level of degradable disgrace "Dame Patience GEJ" is to this nation both national & international & still yet, GEJ still goes about "preaching" progressive development of nigeria. Must he because of the speed of the jolly ride LUCK is taking him on & neglect an important issue like that of good & quality education for his love wife talk more of nigeria masses at large.
Just xday, GEJ is still in his swindling mode was asking the ppl of Dutse to vote for PDP cos they re the only party that CAN bring about constant Power generation but my question is if for 12yrs there is no sign of this or even a glimpse of hope of it, is it with this pace & reckless abandon this GEJ presidency is treating our economy that we re going to come out of this jungle & struggle we now find ourselves
cry cry cry

Lol, myjoe, you have really cracked my ribbs! However for the sake of we the masses, we soldier on with the questions to your candidates.

MyJoe:

Sir, it appears you do not know the meaning, or better, the connotation of the word "statesman." For if you did, there is no way you would apply it to that antediluvian recidivist.

Moreso, you shock the electorate with your lack of political savoir-faire. Referring to that maggot as your "father," especially when you hold the trust of the public as president is simply low. Nothing else but low. Especially since you also referred to him as your "mentor." Pray tell, what has he been mentoring you on?

This is why I hate debates, interviews, town hall meetings, and the like. People are always misquoting you. I never referred to General Babangida as my mentor.

YOU SAID SO SIR. YOU CALLED HIM YOUR MENTOR: HERE -

"Babangida is like a father to me, even in my days as a deputy governor and later as governor of Bayelsa State, I used to consult him"

http://tribune.com.ng/index.php/news/18003-i-dreaded-contesting-against-ibb-jonathan

If this is not a statement of mentorship, i wonder what else is. What do you call a father figure who one consults for advise?

Sir, shall we add the word 'mentor' to the steadily growing list of words that you obviously do not understand?

You are desperate to curry the favour of anybody and everybody in order to win an election, and in that desperation you cuddle up with demons such as IBB whereas if you were discerning enough, you would realize that he is politically irrelevant in the current dispensation.

You stir up revulsion with the pathethic nature of your lack of ethics. You have no courage, and you stand for anything and fall for everything. YOU sir, are a pathetic excuse for a leader.

You are getting it wrong. I am the president of all Nigerians. It is my duty to consult with everyone and get the views of stakeholders in order move the country forward. But watch your tongue. You are talking to the president and commander in chief of the armed forces of the federal republic of Nigeria. Don’t take democracy as a licence to insult the president. If it was during the military regime you would be jailed by now.

Babangida and his journey men in the path of perfidy are the 'stakeholders' you deem it fit to consult with?

Ok then, how come you are shying away from "consulting" with the larger public through the instrument of an independently organized debate? ? ? ?

Some consultation indeed.

We can start with ya wife for one. Not to speak about the hellish lot that you hang about with.

What? My wife? Has she ever been charged with, much less, convicted of any crimes? Look, there is a law on libel! Be careful.

I need not await any official charge to make my comments: seeing that no charge will ever come under your watch, not so? The fact remains that under the constitution of Nigeria there exists no office as "office of the first lady" and in wanton disregard for this, you have continued to fund the activities of that illegal and grammatically deficient office with public funds. That is nepotism and misapplication of public funds and is impeachable.

Are you saying the BON is not an independent body? Is BON now owned by the government? If you want to attend debates organized by every Mfon, D[i]i[/i]ck and Boma, that is your business, but the presidency of Nigeria is an exulted office.

How is BON independent? The same way EFCC and co are independent? Shio.

The fact is that your campaign team demanded to have advance copies of questions from NN24! Once this was refused, you ran away with your tail between your legs like the reprobate coward that you are! For a PHD holder this is disgraceful! How dare you even conceive the thought of demanding advance copies of the questions in a democracy? ? ? Are you incapacitated or something?

[b]I, too, have heard rumours about Otunba Gbenga Daniel.

Rumours? Is the arrest and asphyxiation of the legistative arm of government in that state a rumour? The several public 'fights' between him and the speaker are rumours? The published photographs of unclothed legislators taking oaths of allegiance to the same person? Please joor. Choose your friends more carefully.

[color=#000099]You don’t know what you are talking about. You are not in government, so you sit at some office in Victoria Island (my SSS director just gave me your office address) typing away and thinking you know something, whereas you know nothing of the relationship between the foreign reserve, the ECA and the SWF. And by the way, the foreign reserve is not totally depleted as reported by some newspapers. Yes, we have spent some of it on developmental projects. We now generate 4,000 MW of electricity and I am sure you have noticed the improvement where you are. And due to the massive investments we have made into the sector I can tell you that within the first 6 months into our new dispensation, by the grace of God, there will be 5,000 MW! Nigeria is cruising forward at great speed, and those of you who live outside the country don’t know what is happening in Nigeria. God has been blessing Nigeria and will continue to do so.

Gibberish, Sir.

The question was succint enough, and you might want to attempt it again. Perhaps i will break it down as follows.

1. What was the Reserve at upon your assumption of office?

2. What is it at today?

3. What has the price of oil been at during that period?

4. Can any difference be accounted for only by reference to a SWF that is yet to take off - especially considering that the Reserve is not the Excess Crude Account.

Your reference to 4, 000 mgwts is neither here nor there. Nigeria has hovered between 2, 500 to 4, 500 mgwts at various points in time in the last decade or so. You therefore cannot steal a march on us by explaining a depleted treasury simply by reference to 4, 000 mgwts! That is fraudulent.

If you do not know the political significance of having an ex-con jailed for corruption sit right beside you at your rally, then there is nothing anyone can do to help or educate you.

I see you don’t realize I am the president of all Nigerians and the TBS is a public place. It was an open rally held at a stadium, not a private party held in a hotel room. You need some schooling in elementary political science and fundamental human rights.

Suit yourself. Its not my image that's suffering as a result. It is yours.

What are you talking about? There are no coups anymore. The kuontry is back to full cfillian guovment. When I become fresident and Pastor Bakare become bice fresident there will be no room for laziness and corruption and indiscpline. Corruption will vanish. We will restore discpline.

Lol.

We did not kuommit treason. The kuonstitution was susfended, so no treason. We saved the kuontry from a bad guovment.

We must add "treason" to the rapidly growing list of words the meanings of which you are in stark and stupefying ignorance of.

The frophet used to flog bad people. I will not be brining it back, it has always been there. In Zamfara State, we flog those who drink alcohol.

Being a rabid masochist with tendencies to enjoy erotic flogging and the like, i guess i must consider relocating to Zamfara State then. Ooo, la la.

If you have any integrity like you claim to have, you would not gallivant about under the sponsorship of a champion of the corruption you claim to fight. Especially when you yourself stated that that champion of yours deserves to by in jail. I cannot conceive of a better definition of hypocrisy.

We fought corruption in this country. We jailed an inspector-general of police. That has never happened before. We indicted governors and other powerful people. When elected we will do more. It is because of corruption that you don’t have electricity, good roads and water. We are not being sponsored by a champion of corruption. We are being sponsored by the ACN and we have been receiving donations from Nigerians who believe in us.

Now that it suits you, Tinubu is no longer a champion of corruption who deserves to rot in jail, like you earlier said?

You are a comic, i tell you sir. These donations from Nigerians which you speak about, let me ask; is Tinubu a Nigerian, and does he also make donations to your party. From funds you yourself labelled corrupt, no? And yet you want to fight corruption. You reek of hypocrisy and insincerity. I laugh.
