Ghen ghen...I hate it when they involve men of God in politics. Politics and ministry i think are two different ministries. Though, the man doesn't look like a pastor to me, looks more like a career man. Maybe, he pastors as a part time job.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA, OUR TIME FOR CHANGE IS NOW. ANOTHER REASON FOR WE ALL TO BE INVOLVED IN THE RECENT POLITICAL CHANGE COMING UP IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.
WE ARE THE CHANGE BY HAVING TO CAST OUR VOTE TO EFFECT THE CHANGE WE DESIRE.
GOD HAS BEEN FAITHFUL ENOUGH TO PUT THESE OPTION BEFORE US.
DEAR ALL, LETS BE INVOLVED.
THE JONATHAN GOVERTMENT HAS TAKEN US THROUGH 16 YAERS, WE NEED A CHANGE.
APC already gat south west locked down, so I think picking a vice from south south would have been best for them . Meanwhile GEJ till 2019.
Why cant you just use your medulla oblaganta for once ...in patrick obi's voice

Good choice, especially as the APC targets Christian votes in 2015. However, my problem is with Buhari. At 72, the man is too old for the rigor and demand of the office of the President. Except if Prof. Osibajo does all the work and Buhari is ceremonial.

Now we have the pair and we need to educate those who are ignorant that nigeria is actually sick because we have been intentionally kept in high illiteracy and poverty level for so long so that those in power and their supporters can keep circulating the wealth of the nation while they use N5000 to bribe you during voting. One big politician once said about 9 years ago that if the govt embezzle what the spend on the nation and develop the nation with what the embezzle, nigeria will be close to America or Dubai. This is the debt of corruption we have in the country. I live in one of the top cities in the country and still i pity my vehicle atimes because of the bad road that i do result to trekking till i could get to a fair road and join taxi to work. This is the country that ranks among the first 7 LARGEST PRODUCER OF CRUDE OIL IN THE WORLD BUT THE ONLY ONE THAT REFINES OUTSIDE ITS SHORES. This is basically because of corruption and ways to enrish the political finaciers in multiple folds while the citizens perish in abject poverty. The only country amoung them all where power is still a mojor issue. Nigeria power is equal to what a single airport (HEATHROW) uses in UK. Is this imaginable at all after all the collosal money spent on same power. This is a country where almost 26 billion dollars has been spent on in the last 12 years and still nothing to show for it, instead probes that showed money were embezzled was swept under the carpet. Police pension fund and oil subsidy probes that showed how TRILLIONS were tactically embezzled is still yet to see the light of the day. 225 million was used to buy 2 cars under this regime and still no utterances from the number citizen to show that there is regards for citizen that he claimed voted him in. instead u will see them with scissors up and down in the name of commissioning childish projects. How many times have u seen world leaders on CNN with scissors where there are other issues to brainstorm with stakeholder on health, education, infrastructures ....NIGERIANS, this is the time for u to think very well, either u want an incorruptible leader that will make u not to think of embezzlement because u ve a secured future for urself and future generations, a leader that will lead bu examples, a leader that will make sure that the price of doing the right thing is very low, thereby lots of people will be willing to follow the right path. NIGERIA HAS 10 problems, no1 is LEADERSHIP. no2 to no10 is CORRUPTION. any other one is a subset of the two major ones. And the above mentioned two are even in one which is CORRUPTION. This present govt has encourages and supported in in all its action and deeds, BUHARI from his records and pedigree is the only answer known. Solve corruption and u will see transformation not on the Television but on the street (good roads, transport system and structures) and in ur home (power, light, domestic gas and portable water). BUHARI will do it.

That's a good one for APC for them to have surprised everyone with the running mate GMB. Change is inevitable come 2015. There's no limitation to what you can achieve. Honestly, you can be paid some cool cash between Dec 24th - 31st, 2014 http://monthlyyouth.com/?ref=741191
Most GMB always go 4 pastors....its sure a religious affair 2 him
You said it all!
Okay nah!
Waiting for the result of this decision.
See format
How soon you forgot that a pastor was also his VP in 2011??
Don't mind d desperate soul...
Some of u have serious problem, haha....they said fashola, u guy said they are both Muslims, now they announced a pastor, u guys are still complaining...who or what exactly do u guys want. Some of u are so confused and don't even know anything, u just feeling like commenting. Mtcheeew
Dis U say an attempt to please the christians?.I wonder what U want!Jonathan and the chaos in Nigeria?.Pls tell me what Buari will miss if he doesn't become president,remember he is a grandfather.I assure U nothing but as for us,we stand to loose Nigeria if we continue with Mr President and wife.Let us all forget the sentiments creeping in and give Buhari a chance after all Jonathan has has enough time to prove his worth.If U ask me ,I dont want Jonathan again,lets try a new approach to solving Nigeria's problem.I dont make Nigeria,but many people feel the same way as I do,we want a new president now
Good candidate
Oshiomole "Mr Go and Die " political career would end soon with PDP taking over Edo state
A pastor was also his V.P in 2011. So that strategy isn't new!!!
Prof would have rather been preferred for presidential spot instead of vice. It's hight time intelligent men rule this country.
Dey can't win even with this.... ya'll knw d VP post is jst a ceremonial figure! as long as buhari is d presidential candidate, NEVER
#ThisTooShallPass
Congrats to him
Buhari/ prof osibajo has got my vote a million times over
Well said!!!
North and South... na who dem dey deceive?
Yes ooo...
Seriously I fobt know why people are putting religion into politics....they are two different things. If someone is a Christian or a Muslim doesn't mean they will do good in politics.... I feel it's just a personal something, so I don't just understand some people. Nigeria has two major problems: tribe and religion
Always going 4 pastors as running mates
Gbam! Uve said it all
It was indeed unpredictable...
Apc all the way . We need change and buharis team is the only team that cam grantee us the change .We have tried gej ,now it's time to try another team . Jonathan has failed ,no light ,unemployment at the increase ,bad roads ,Boko haram on the loose
I expected at least oshiomole, however APC has failed completely!!!
Na lie. Rochas nko? Amaechi kwanu? Na lie joor.
Are you sure you are ready for this kind of politics?
Nigerians of you like what is happening ,vote gej but if u truly want change ,vote buhari. An ex head of head of state and an ex petroleum minster with no house in abuja !!!!!! This man is clean ,let us give him a try,we need jobs for our youth, if jonathan continues ,Nigeria is doomed !!!he who has ears ,let him hear
As if Buhari has a hand in it! Is all Tinubu all the way. However this was this same strategy they used in 2012 that failed. Bet ya, it will fail again.
Still dont understand what men who are supposedly called by God to lead his church are doing playing the dirty game of politics. Never fancied political arguments, but it is visible to all that Prof is just a puppet that GMB needs to get into office. So shameful!
They can win in Lagos and the youruba states however the SS a d SE will not vote for them.
Gbam!!!
Oh my God my own pastor for olive tree. He's a good man oh
