Ibekwe Nonyerem Wrote: The PDP has tried to sully Gen Buhari’s reputation by alleging perjury against him, suggesting he did not have a school certificate as he claimed. PDP has attempted mischievously to whip up emotions against Gen Buhari using some of his policies and actions as head of state in the 1980s. And it has tried to draw a wedge between him and the Yoruba using the animosities, prejudices and bigotries of the past, and projecting upon his idiosyncrasies a dismal future for Nigerians under his presidency. None has worked for the simple reason that the PDP misjudges the mood of the moment, the spirit of the time. First, the PDP and Jonathan sympathisers are unable to appreciate that the leitmotif of this election is the incompetence of Mr Jonathan, his failure as a leader, his weakness in tackling the grave security challenges facing the country. The election is thus not really about Gen Buhari, what he can do or won’t do, what certificates he brandishes or does not hold, what acts of cruelty he performed in the past or acts of kindness. The election is strictly speaking about Mr Jonathan, by what margin to repudiate him, and about how to punish him for the humiliation and disgrace he has brought upon the country locally and internationally.
