Posted Comments I think its time for Nigerians to be Nigerians irrespective of geopolitical, ethnic or religious differences. Besides we should practice true democracy and federalism and borrow a leaf from America where the constitution is supreme and allowed Barack Obama to contest and win irrespective of his African background. (Franklyn, Yola, Nigeria) - 5 minutes ago Let him contest and win if he can bring steady electric power supply to Nigerians by the end of this year. (Isa, Bauchi, Nigeria) - 1 hour ago He should respect the PDP power zoning arrangement, which of course is the party that brought him to power. Let him do his best and maybe contest as Vice president or wait for four years and contest. (Suleiman, Lagos, Nigeria) - 2hours ago		Type Your Comments in the Box Below
