"I think in 2011, it was very clear that Jonathan had lost many states in the North that had previously been won by former President Olusegun Obasanjo. And it was clear that there was a general sense by people of the Federal Government not investing in the areas where there is a high level of poverty. I believe more and more of those states began to feel that sense of not feeling the federal presence and not feeling the impact of democracy in their pockets. And I think it is extremely important for people to connect with the government and when you have such conditions after 16 years of democracy, it was natural that people would want to have a change and I think this is basically what has happened. I don’t think it is something about an individual, I think it is something that has been going on for a number of years and you could see the states won by the PDP in 1999 and what they won in 2003, what they won in 2007, 2011 and you would begin to see the changes in the way Nigerians were responding so it was a matter of time.”he said

Well said Alhaji Sunusi,
Buhari God Win oshe!
I concur
And the post-prophesies persists. *sigh*
Waiting for Julius Agwu's.
Biko... Enough. Next please!
Hmm i partially agree
Oky
Enough said already , can we move on now ..thank u
No
That isn't the main reason
Voting was based on tribal n ethnic grouping
The yorubas supported buari bcos the vp is yoruba n obj presence too
GEJ spent more time pleasing the north in terms of infrastructure and a popings than any part of the country
Those idiots including you sanusi are unreasonable... when u were CBN governor wat did you do to alleviate poverty in your state
Na wo
"Appointment"
Oh pls what u fail to mention is most previous election wasn't free nor fair Proff IWU was d best rigger Nigeria ever had or u forget so soon how Obj n IWU rig out most southeast states? Keep ur opinion how many northerners ruled b4 d emergence of OBJ? U people always claim d northern states r poor which is far from d truth
C'mon ranka shi dade,hit the nail on the head
.It wasn't so much a case of Obj's loss of those states or neglect by FG of those poverty ridden states.The major reason is the INSECURITY that has mared GEJ's admin without much response from him.Even the masses in the north east knows that the poverty ravaging our region is the architect of our state governors and those in the state corridors of power.Dragging the presidency into our woes isn't ideal.I find it very ironic that the north has been clinging on to power for far too long and poverty is equally highest in the north. This should tell us something#myopinion
Can't believe we are still on dis matter.
I thought he was also part of that government as CBN governor for how long?
We have heard..........
Moye says so via BB Passport...Courtesy LIB....
now everyone has something to say, smh
True talk
We've heard
Truth is Mr. presidents men spent more time on gathering mud to sling the opposition with and distributing raw cash than strategizing and trying to win back the electorate.The kingsmen did him more harm than good and I believe we should all learn something from this.
Be careful with the type and caliber of people you surround yourself with.They will either make you or mar you.SHOW ME YOUR FRIENDS AND ALLIES AND.........
President Jonathan lost the election because people were not happy with his administration, very true and I will also add that he lacked managerial skills and he has never been in control since day one . The level of corruption under his administration is another reason for his lost . He didn't mind that his government catered only for a his circle of friends and like the Emir said there is too much poverty in the land , people are really suffering. Thank God for the change of mantle and my prayers is that Nigeria will be a better,safer and more peaceful country
U av spoken well Mr sanusi
everybody be talking just to score a political point...
We don hear....shebi Buhari na d messiah.....lets see what he'l do
this emir opinion is voild because as CBN governor, as big as that office you never visit poor people in edo, abia, ondo, koji, cross-rivers & adamawa state, you can just in corner of your room and generalize your opinion, gej lose are PDP fault not any thing.

I beg to differ, every state has a proportioned allocation, what do the governors and the l.g. chairmen do? the voting was influenced by religion, ethnicity, political and the fact people want to try someone else...but for the north..religion mainly

HRH SANUSI....I COMPLETELY DISAGREE WITH YOU ON THIS YOUR ASSERTION THAT PDP LOST IN THE NORTH DUE TO POVERTY. IT IS AN OPEN SECRET THAT THE NORTH FELT SHORT CHANGED AFTER THE DEATH OF YARADUA...HOPING THAT ANOTHER NORTHER COMPLETES HIS TURN IN 2011. THUS, YOUR ASSERTION IS VERY WRONG.
BE THAT AS IT MAY, IT WAS A KEEN CONTEST AND WE SHOULD ALL ACCEPT IT AS THE WILL OF GOD....Mystic Sun

Even you sanusi didn't want him to win.
What are u people doing there the state govt and all why is it only the north that cries about poverty rubbish while we from the east and south be hustling our selves out up people sit and wait for government to do everything for u
True. We deserve better and we hope APC will deliever if not they too will be voted out in the next fours.
The most educated Emir, u have spoken. Jonathan and by extension d PDP are d architects of their own failure.
plz nah, dey shld giv it a rest already....haba! enuf already plz...Buhari won, GEJ lost chikena....les muv 4ward,ok?...thank u...phew!
Its more than just poverty. The insecurity and corruption played vital role which could have been averted with proper policies to tackle it rather than surround himself with the likes of fani kayode. GMB should be careful with the new apc converts if not they will sink his boat before the end of his tenure.
Poverty has always been long existing in the north before Jonathan came on board, however GEJ abused the Nigerian wealth by allowing the nation's wealth to circulate among a few thereby leaving those who voted for him in 2011 with no infrastructural development and poor flow of resources and this sure cost him his office.
Hope this new era wud be better than d oda...God bless 9ja
Ohk iooooo, u pple shld gv it a rest analysis stage is ova biko. Start putting strategy in place o.
The look on Sanusi's face in this picture says it all; Epic. His hatred for JOna is palpable,after the CLUELESS ONE tried to humiliate him out of CBN for exposing d corruption in d system.

But have the masses benefited from your loots u had stashed somewhere?
Fuck all the Nigerian Elites with their retarded disdain for the poverty infested masses. Hope they die slow and painfully with worst regrets.
I pleadingly call on all the Laws of Nature in Heaven and Earth to ensure the unstoppable propagation of the curse(s) on their generation(s).
Amen.

I dnt angree wit sanusi, the voting pattern was based on tribal, ethnic and religeous sentiments, the north had always surported buhari poverty or no poverty, the yorubas gave buhari the wining votes this time. Talking abt poverty, the north has had more heads of state than any other part of the country, murtala muhamed, shehu shagari, yakubu gowon, muhamad buhari, ibrahim babangida, sani abacha, abdusalam abubakar, they own the largest number number of oil blocks in this country, the federal character system favors them, and yet sanusi is talking about poverty, wat are their governors doing with the monthly allocation, they should blame their clueless leaders rather tranfering the aggression on jonathan who even tried for them, he built almajiri schools for them, 70 percent of incentives been given 2 farmers go 2 the north, evrything in the contry favors them. The voting pattern notin 2 do with poverty period!
I don't agree with Sanusi. The north since independent in 1960, has ruled this nation for more than three decades, what level of development did they effect in their northern states. People should face reality and stop circumnavigating about national issues. The poverty in the north was caused by the northern leaders who in the past never saw the need to educate their subjects. Look at the case of the Amajiris. If not for Jonathan, did the northern leaders ever thought of sending them to schools. All they do is to use them as willing tools during elections. The power blocks worked against Jonathan in this election and that was it.

LET THEM KNOW, THAT WE KNOW.
In a gradual process, we will say things the way it was, we will speak of the conspiracy that even the closest ally of President Jonathan entered in the dark against our people. We will tell the contraption called Nigeria that in the early morning of 30th of March, Bauchi State results were APC 457,786, PDP 559,897. But by afternoon on Tuesday, 31st, March, the Bauchi State results was announced as APC 931,598 and PDP 86,085. We will tell the world that the number of accredited voters was reduced from its original, the reasons we cant say.
The true results are filtering in, but it is of no use. Even what transpired in Kano State, we will tell the world. We will remind the contraption called Nigeria that those that voted in the real elections in Kano were more than those that were accredited. We will come out with papers that showed that PDP’s vote was already 407,322, when delegates at the situation room including the PDP agents decided they had to stop adding PDP votes that still had the capacity to double what was already counted. Did they stop there? NO, they slashed it down to 215,779 and converted the remaining uncounted for the Northern agenda.
Let them know, that we know. Let them know that the PDP Chairman refused to take President Jonathan’s call on the night of 30th when Mr President was told that Mua’zu had given a go ahead to disrupt the Bauchi’s votes because they feared the Bauchi’s vote was going to change the game even with all the rape that was done. Let them know that we are aware that Adamawa’s vote was slashed on the clear instructions from the INEC Commissioner after taking a call we cannot say who the voice from the other end was. Let them knowthat we will tell them what happened in Gombe.
We will also tell the world that Kaduna state results were accepted even when 7 local governments with more than 400,000 eligible voters were denied their rights to vote by the INEC commissioner. We will tell then that Jega was under some duress. When the time is right, we will speak IF IT WILL STILL BE NECESSARY. Let them know that we know. And we are taking records.

Is supposed to b "2011 and u begin to see d changes that northerners want" not Nigerians cos he won all SE and SS states. (WESTINO says so )
Sanusi is one of the people who dealt with Jonathan. He did not forgive Jonathan for removing him as CBN governor. He has been bitter since then in spite of efforts made to reach out to him. He showed his hand and granted an interview to CNN and that day I knew Jonathan would lose because of all the things Sanusi said. Traditional rulers should stay out of politics!

The emir of Kano was right. According to the national bureau of statistics put northwest as the most poorest part in Nigeria.
Couple to the issue of insecurity in the Northeast, that made the Goodluck Administration unpopular in the North.
Many saw General Mohammadu Buhari as the solution to all the problem and considering he's from the north in particular Northwest, they believe there will be improvement in the dividends of democracy and better living standard.

This is the total truth, but let's wait and see what Buhari will do for Nigeria
Jonathan removed em 4 bein professional as a CBN governor, dont take sides faceless robot!
Traditional rulers in the north will Nver stay out of politics, stupid...
Mr. Sanusi the poverty you talk about was not created by Jonathan no in the last 16 years. but it was just GEJ that took the blame
Who cares? Pls go, and sit down some where pls. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I always knew that the president was rigged out, he was betrayed even by his own northern party members, the northern PDP governnors, e.g sule lamido and babangida aliu considering the number of votes that came from their states. The president said he wil speak abt d elections @ the right time!
Then you should blame the northan gov who refuse to develope and empower their people
True
Not entirely true. PDP lost because of their hate campaign. Poverty and unemployment is evry where even in America. But while the APC was busy campaigning PDP was busy looking for Buhari's certificate and slandering him with hate campaigns. Even if you watch the campaigns properly you will see that while the PDP were busy preaching hate and religion (cc:Namadi Sambo's campaign in Jigawa) the APC were busy making some insane campaign promises. So let's wait for them to deliver. #eyesonthem. #letsmove foward. If they don't we vote them out in 2019.
U ar a big fool... I can see now dat u reason tru ur anus
Forget politics, Emir Sanusi APC CBN, sir!
Jonathan lost because his government was incompetent and blatantly corrupt; which is not new in the Nigerian scenery. He lost in the North cos he was not Northern and a Muslim.
Political Emir! Face your designated role and keep off politics or step down from emirship and join the rotten bandwagon!
U amuse me .Jonah lost bcos he had the humilty to submit to the process(including the rigging of disenfranchising millions of his Southern voters) ; do u think Buhari will NOT interfere in his own favour for any election he is a candidate ??
It's alot of stuffs that made jonathan lose the election to buhari but the major points are
(1) Boko Haram
(2) Fuel Subsidy
(3) Devaluation of the currency
Even tho these things are not entirely his fault but people just closed their mind like 'Fuck Jonathan,He must leave' That's it....Simple as that!
Anonym, if she's a big fool, what are you? A complete idiot. She was able to buttress her conclusion with proof, and what did u do? U resorted to name calling. I wonder who is now the bigger You, of course. I concluded that she's far ahead of you intellectually. Pathetic!!

Alhaji Sanusi, u people alwayz claim dat d north are very poor, how?? From d inception of Nigeria, d North always rule so does it mean u all keep d money to urslf without ur country?? D truth is dat d Northerners connived against Jonathan becos of ur selfish interests.
@Applelipx ... I think I agree with Sanusi ... I served in the north(Katsina), and what he said about people not feeling the impact of democracy in their pocket is true .. The rate if poverty there is brutal .. And it is not his role as a CBN governor to develop a state or region, that's the job of the federal government ... And this is my opinion, Osibanjo as the VP I doubt if he won the Yoruba votes , I also doubt of he really pulled that much christian votes considering the closeness of the vote count between PDP and APC ...
i no blame dis northern abokis...so pple in d south n east have money trees growing behind thier houses abi? idiots talking trash...n i pity d youth dat are bn brain washed by these northerners..u guys were in control of d country since almagation n u did not invest in ur land but u looted e.g abacha n d oda cohorts...now u come here to blame GEJ for poverty in the north. God will deal wit these abokis...they will surely reap wat dey hv sown in this country.
Please enumerate the things he did for the north when 4 out of the 6 north eastern states were in state of emergency for almost 2 out of 4 years.
Has there been any election in Nigeria including March 28 2015. The answer is no.
His opinion abeg.
