As the March 28th presidential election draws closer, political
analysts and admirers of the ruling party are amazed and wondering
about the increasing popularity and general acceptance of the APC
presidential candidate General Muhamodu Buhari. Despite the hate
speeches, defamatory advertisements, negative documentaries that have
appeared via media houses, newpapers and social networks, the General’s
popularity ratings are growing.
The PDP has accused some of its chieftains and top leaders of not doing enough to “sell” President Goodluck Jonathan to the masses. The last-minute moves, which apparently include doling out money to individuals, groups and associations just to buy support for Jonathan’s re-election bid, seem not to be yielding the required results. Moreover, the aforementioned technique is doing more harm than good in most of the states.
In Delta state, for instance, chieftains and aides of the governor have allegedly made away with huge sums of money meant to buy votes to lobby Jonathan’s re-election. Such stories has furthered chaos and division within the PDP camp, which led to more supporters of the PDP decamping and pledging their allegiance to the APC.

I don’t think a president would feel the need to share money to buy votes had he really lived up to the expectations.
Many wonder why General Buhari’s popularity is soaring even though it’s his fourth attempt to win the presidential seat. Some have adduced this to the fact that the APC is a “mega party”, comprising the former ACN, CPC, ANPP and a faction of the APGA. Some have said it’s all a grand conspiracy between the North and the Southwest to wrestle power from the “Otueke man”. Others have cited the fallout of the President with some Northern and Southwestern leaders, and the crisis which led to the exit governors and party chieftains from the PDP as the reasons for Nigerians’ acceptance and support of Buhari.

But I think the main point is that Nigerians have lost confidence in the present administration.

True: many
APC and Buhari’s supporters and admirers don’t see the latter as the
“messiah” who would, upon becoming president, use magical powers to turn
things around over night. But Nigerians are tired of the way things are
being run in the country. They are eager to replace the government
boasting to have created, in the last six years, only about 1.8m jobs in
a country with over 40m unemployed youths. They are eager to change the
government that has not been able to provide security.
They are tired of paying for electricity bills they never get to use or enjoy. Nigerians are tired of the government whose achievements only appear on the pages of newspapers and are not real. They are eager to change the government that has not shown any resolve to fight corruption. Even if General Buhari is not able to fix all these problems overnight, Nigerians just want this government that has virtually nothing to show to be gone. Nigerians need a new beginning and “fresh air”. This is what the PDP still don’t get: give Nigerians anyone but Goodluck Jonathan.
