President Jonathan in an interview with TheCable has said he might not be perfect because there is no perfect human being, but Nigerians cannot afford to vote Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday, because they will be making a costly mistake. He also said APC has been overrated and the forthcoming elections would prove Nigerians love PDP.
“I don’t think Nigerians will make the mistake of voting for Buhari. Gen. Buhari, with due respect, is not the right option for Nigeria at this time. It is a gamble that is not worth taking.
“I may not be perfect as nobody is perfect. But I believe that come Saturday, the majority of Nigerian voters will choose me as the best candidate to lead the nation forward.”
He also says APC has been overrated;
“You should remember the Ekiti governorship election last year. Before the election, many people were saying APC would win by a landslide. But we in the PDP were busy mobilising the grassroots, going from village to village, from town to town.
The result shocked everybody, apart from us at the PDP. I am not underrating APC, but I think they are grossly overrated.
We shall meet on the field. That is where we will test our true strengths. We are fully ready. You will soon see,” he said.
About the party that would win in Lagos, the president said;
“The real battleground is Lagos, and if you have been following events closely, the PDP is reborn in Lagos. Wait and see how Lagosians will vote,” he said about election in Lagos.
He also says Buhari/Osinbajo combination is definitely not a winning team;
“You cannot call Osinbajo a political heavyweight in the South West. The Yoruba are more sophisticated than that. In 2011, two of my opponents fielded their running mates from the South West. Still, the South West decided to vote for me. That tells you a lot about the voters in the South West. They cannot be hoodwinked,” the president said.

posterity will judge anybody or group of people that is responsible for constant power outage in isolo, holy savior area in particular. all phcn officials and their staff, whether it is politically motivated or otherwise like the current issue of fuel hoarding by petrol stations around the area thereby causing artificial and unwarranted scarcity, the people were denied of power (which they paid for) and also petrol for their generators to use in their respective homes after work this warm period. As they keep the people in dark and penury, so shall their generation witness darkness up to the fourth. according to the irreversible law of nature, what goes around comes back around. he who holds me down holds himself, he who takes something from a child and raises his hand up, one day, he shall feel pain on the hand and brings it down while the patience waiting child takes back his ware jejely.

Mr. President it is not so much about south-west but the whole nation. Don’t forget the south-west voted for you overwhelmingly in 2011 which you won. The only way you can win in south-west especially Lagos in 2015 is by rigging.

This country is adrift therefore a new direction is needed however the electorate will decide.

cheiiii. i can't believe he is using Ekiti election as standard for PDP win.....sorry for Nigeria.
That’s the problem with this president. How can anyone be proud of Ekiti election? Did he forget that the underage brother of Capt.Sagir Koli (whistle-blower) was tortured and detained for weeks on top of rigging the election?
