WOW: WORLD RENOWNED US THINK-THANK BROOKINGS PREDICTS PRESIDENT JONATHANS VICTORY OVER BUHARI Brookings, the World’s most influential think-tank based in the United States, have projected that, President Jonathan will emerge victorious over opposition candidate, Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 Elections. The analysis, context and rationale of the think-tank’s projections is contained in the Brookings publication titled: Foresight Africa – Top Priorities for the continent (January 2015). According to Brookings, the (APC) is a fragile anti-Jonathan establishment with a sole purpose to return power to the north, and united only in its quest to wrest the presidency from Jonathan or to have power “returned” to the north. The APC gets much of its strength from tap- ping into anti-Jonathan sentiments in the Muslim north, but also hinted at the possibility of Bola Ahmed Tinubu not delivering the region contrary to speculations. On President Jonathan’s performance: “despite Boko Haram, the country is thriving: The economy continues to grow and with the re- basing of its GDP, became the largest economy in Africa and the 26th largest in the world. Jonathan’s success in containing the Ebola virus, which earned him commendations from countries and institutions around the world is a plus. The Brookings Report also identified factors such as incumbency and numerical control of States where PDP has 21 States and APC only 14 as giving PDP an edge. Though the election is expected to be very competitive, the odds still favor President Jonathan, the report stated. Even American think-thanks say.... SAI GOODLUCK. ;-)
