Gary Johnson: Rand Paul's no libertarian

Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Party's 2012 presidential nominee, said the Republican senator from Kentucky is just that -- a Republican -- but definitely not a libertarian.

READ: Conservatives party like it's 2016

While Paul may be the most libertarian-minded candidate in the field of prospective GOP presidential candidates, Johnson said, Paul doesn't fit the libertarian mold on a host of issues: from abortion to marriage equality to immigration and marijuana.

"He's a Republican," Johnson said.

"Great, I mean terrific," Johnson said sarcastically. "I mean, the most libertarian candidate that Republicans may end up fielding."

Paul has even sidled away from his libertarian foreign policy views, shying away from his isolationist views in favor of a more nuanced foreign policy that would better fit the mold of a Republican primary.

Fayoses blackmail cant stop Buhari APC

Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd)

The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has said Governor Ayodele Fayoses alleged blackmail of its candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) cannot stop him from winning the presidential election.

It said the governors criticism of Buhari, was driven by self-preservation over the governors past misdeeds and not in the national interest.

According to the party, the governor is fighting the battle of his life that runs contrary to the general mood of the nation.

It advised him to concentrate his energy on how to ensure victory for PDPs candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan, instead of lecturing APC on why it should not field General Buhari as its candidate for the March 28 presidential election.

A statement by the state APC Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, said Nigerians had made up their minds to have Buhari as their President, adding that, No amount of blackmail and rhetoric fuelled by selfishness will change the course of change sweeping across the country.

Reminding Fayose that APC was not the same thing as PDP, Olatubosun said, PDP has an agenda to kill all institutions of government as it is currently doing and make corruption a creed. Never in the history of this country have we recorded cases of frauds and scandals as we have today in Nigeria. These are the legacies that PDP can flaunt. Unfortunately, Fayose is equating PDP with Nigeria.

Fayose has turned APC to a PDP affair. He said former President Olusegun Obasanjo imposed a sick man, the late Umaru YarAdua, on PDP in 2007 and President YarAdua died after two years in office. The question is; is Buhari in PDP and is he now being imposed by Obasanjo again? How does Buharis old age threaten PDPs bid to rule for 60 years?

Again, Fayose said he had a vision that Buhari will never be president. If he is sure of his vision, why is he breathless about Buharis candidacy?

Olatubosun noted that the governor was being hypocritical in his criticism of Buhari and the allegations he was raising over his health status, saying that his actions pointed to the fact that Buhari was the favoured candidate among a vast majority of Nigerians.
