The Only Thing Sacrosanct In Nigeria Is The Qur'an-buhari by Alxmyr(m): 9:30pm On Aug 30, 2012
The National leader of Congress for Progressive Change, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), Wednesday declared that he was ready to face the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, at the 2015 general election.

Buhari, disclosed this when he paid a courtesy call on Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of Kano State. The former Head of State told his host that he was in Kano to open his party office in readiness for the battle ahead.


Speaking further on his mission to the state, Buhari said, “I am in Kano to open our party office and put an end to the intra and inter- party squabbles culminating in electoral loss that ended up in the tribunal up to the Supreme Court but I want to tell you we are already settling down to face you guys squarely, your Excellency.”

Buhari criticized the manner at which those in position of authority violated the constitution and electoral laws in Nigeria, noting that “if there is anything that has enjoyed sanctity under PDP-led government from 1999 to date it is the Holy Book”.

The CPC National Leader argued that the constitution had been raped and sidelined in our quest to attain nationhood, stressing that “under normal circumstances we are supposed to work strictly within the provisions of the constitution, but this is Nigeria and nothing is perfect and the only thing they have not tampered with between 1999 to date in Nigeria is the Holy Quran”.

General Buhari also lamented the deteriorating security situation in the country, especially the negative impact it has had on the commerce and other socio-economic activities in the North, saying that a lot of businesses had collapsed as a result of the security challenges.

Security challenges in the North

The veteran presidential candidate appealed to Governor Kwankwaso to review the several security checkpoints within and around the city of Kano, which he said “has slowed down economic activities in the ancient city”. He described the security challenges confronting the northern state as “extremely sad “, adding that “no one has really shown passion on how to handle it until the whole thing snowballed into a big crisis”.

“Kano is a centre of commerce and industries but living on its shadow now. I could recall vividly that when I was a Governor of Bornu in the 70’s no fewer than 200 vehicles depart Kano for Maiduguri on commercial purposes but all that has disappeared and you can imagine those innocent investors that were pushed out of their legitimate businesses”, he lamented.

In his response, Governor Kwankwaso commended the CPC National leader for the visit, saying that “this kind of visit by political leaders would no doubt ginger understanding among party faithful and supporters for desired growth.”

Kwankwaso who described majority of those on the entourage of General Buhari as political soul mates having worked closely together at several political platforms since the 4th Republic to date revealed how he nearly defected from PDP as a result horse-trading and intrigues prior to 2011 election.

Kwankwaso then stressed the need for Nigeria leaders to sit down and proffer common solution to address the security challenges bedeviling the country, assuring General Buhari the readiness of the state Government to review security measures put in place on the advice of the security agents in the wake of the January 20th attack.

Honestly, the Nigerian media has been very very unfaur to Buhari. Everything he says is always taken out of context and sensationalized.

We all refer to something as 'Bible of something', meaning excellent reference in a field e.g that book is the bible of journalism. Similar for 'mecca of sorts' which we all know what it means.

Here was a man addressing people in the Muslim state of Kano, saying everything has been altered except Qur'an. Does it take extra-ordinary intelligence for anyone to know that what he meant is that the only thing that has not been changed is what is dearest to Kano people. If GEJ for example has said that to people of Rivers, who are all Christians, using Bible in this case, would this have made this kind of headline?. Let's be faiir to this man for once.

The writer of the article never said Buhari gaffed. He simply quote his words. what is the big deal there.
You read meaning to it as it suits you and then let others form their opinion on it. Where is unfairness of Nigerian media in all these?

There is no seperation of state and religion when it comes to Islam especially when a bigot like Buhari is concerned.

Then Buhari should stop mixing religion with politics. The writer and the editor decided on what best suit their story.
And his word was made the headline, what is wrong with that? He uses religion and ethnic sentiment as his strategy in polity
and as long as he continue with that, reporters will continue to make stroy out of his bigotry.

Asking Buhari to stop mixing Islam with politics is like asking Northern Nigeria to stop spilling the blood of the innocent.

Yes! In a country like Nigeria. He shouldn't only be labeled as a bigot but as a RELIGIOUS FANACTIC!

in the position that you are likely gonna serve a public office like office of the president or even minister then it is a TABOO!!

Very unfortunately, the likes of Buhari are actually deluded that Nigeria is a moslem country with a "substantial" christian population.

Anyone with a contrary opinion has insulted Allah and deserves to die.

Only a person with reading and comprehension deficiency will accuse Buhari of bigotry from d report. It's a figure of speech and nothing more.

If he'd put "bible" in place of "quoran", would we be havn ds topic? ur answer to ds shows dt most "wailing victims" on ds thread are no less bigots themselves.

keep fighting for religion and keep demonizing "innocent" people, I hope d Lord God himself will applaud and pat u on d back for dt at due time.

Let us be frank, with the state of the country, even if this was an innocent statement from Buhari, he should guard what he says in public. People are looking for the slightest reason to heat up the polity- DO NOT GIVE IT TO THEM! There will a rebuttal soon of course.

I'm glad you don't comment much on buhari because you seem to know nothing about the man

The 'put Nigeria as a Muslim country' deed was done by IBB. You know, the gap-toothed general you lot seem to love and adore.

Buhari did not say "the only thing sacrosanct in Nigeria is the Koran"

I have no idea why there's this army of jobless cretins that are keen to take every word the man says and skew it in a negative light.

LMAO. Buhari is no more a 'bigot' than Pastor Chris or Oritsejafor.

The only reason why you folks are keen to yell 'bigot' every time is because y'all are guilty of the same sin as those Boko boys: Intolerance.

Please wake up if you are dreaming, because a very wide line exists between politics and religion. Buhari's problem is that he cannot draw that line.

And it appears that you Texazzpete cannot also draw that line.

By comparing Buhari and Oritsejafor, you have either ignorantly or mischievously decided to compare a politician (that is what Buhari is or am I making a mistake) and a religious leader.

All we are saying is: there is a line between religion and politics, when you bridge them together, you are likely to have a Pastor mounting his pulpit on a Sunday to shout "Up UP Jesus, Down, Down Jonathan" in the name of sermon or worse still, you have people killing innocent people because an "infidel" is in power.

If Buhari wants to become a 'bigot' in the manner of Oritsejafor, then let him quit politics.

Also, it is mischievous to reduce the Boko boys crime to mere "intolerance"! In other words, if I were to be brought to your court for standing against the tyrant called Buhari, you would pass on me, the same sentence you will pass to the Bokos?

Well, I don't really mind. If standing against Buhari is called treason, let it be. After all, it won't be as treasonable as when Buhari and his gang over ambitious soldiers used the guns given to them to maintain law and order, to trample upon our constitution and ruled (ruined) us with gangster-ism.

Cheers.

Life is unfair.

All these Buhari haters do not really matter in the game. If they were, Tinubu's influence would have gone down. Buhari is in a struggle against the rulers of Nigeria; all the propaganda should be expected. No need getting emotional about these things.
