Stop the usual noise, until you finalize the leadership team list or made progress in the merger talk. Nigerians, especially the progressives, will not
take you serious if you people cannot agree on any thing this time. Time is not on your side. It is on record that ACN, Labor and CPC, due to unwavering personal and
individualized ambition of some of you, couldn't develop a viable accord to
wrest power from the bereaving PDP following the death of former President Musa
Yar'Adua. Now, you are at it again, boasting as if you have an Awo and Aminu Kano in your midst. It is about messaging perfection, recruitment drive, and
organizational excellence. So far, you don't have them.
I had an ugly encounter with one Rotimi few weeks ago at a Punch Newspaper on-line discussion forum, where he was behaving as if his boss is a brand new candidate for the Presidency. He was breathing down harshly on every blogger who did not have anything complimentary to say about Buhari. He was more than a police man at the discussion/forum. In addition, he labeled some bloggers who did not use their full name as “coward”. And this same “Rotimi” did not use his real name or full name either
You don't have to demonize me for spelling a particular word wrongly during a live chat. To say he was too irritating is an understatement. Adding to that, asking me to prove that late Governor Ambrose Ali of old Bendel State did not steal public fund while he was in office as a Governor is not the issue. The issue is about General Buhari electability - you have to justify the Professor's arrest for me to have a change of heart about your candidate.
Besides, Professor Ambrose Ali is dead. He is not running for office. Buhari is. You, Rotimi, must prove to skeptics like me as well as Buhari's antagonists why we should love him and accept him as a viable and credible candidate for the office of the President. You must sell your candidate; you don't win election by demanding of others to prove that their candidates are better than yours. Tell us Buhari's virtues that we don’t know about or that he did not display during the short period that he was the President. It is about him, not the attitude of the bloggers. Convince them that your candidate is a better alternative than what they have right now, because of (1), (2), (3), and on and on.

ACN and CPC should go back to the
drawing board and develop a blueprint for new leadership recruitment as well as follower-ship, policy statement, and message for change that stick effortlessly.
Indeed, there is nation-wide resentment of PDP leadership, but that does not translate to nation-wide acceptance of the leadership of CPC and ACN. It's all about communication and messaging system. It is about credibility. Right now you don't have it. And sadly, you don't have the leadership that can defeat President Jonathan in 2015.
