The Presidency has described former Head of State and presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.), as the major sponsor of the dreaded Islamic sect, Boko Haram and a leading protagonist of violence. It said that apart from his ambition to rule the country again, Buhari had refused to contribute meaningfully to actions capable of ending insecurity in the country. Buhari, a National Leader of the CPC, had, on the Hausa service of the British Broadcasting Corporation on Monday, said that the Federal Government should be blamed for the lingering security challenges in the country. According to Punch Newspaper, Buhari also flayed the Goodluck Jonathan administration for what he called “poor handling of insurgency” that had led to the death of many Nigerians and destruction of properties.

While reacting to this, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, said it was unfortunate that such a statement could emanate from Buhari. Describing Buhari as a man he respects so much, Okupe added that he had no option but to reply to his accusations against the Federal Government and the President.

He reminded Nigerians that Buhari had previously been credited with a statement that he would make the country ungovernable if the last presidential election did not favour him. Okupe said, “Everybody in this country knows that it was Buhari who vowed that if he did not win the election, he would make the country ungovernable for this President. It was this same Buhari who said during the electioneering period that if the votes were counted and he lost, people should go for blood. He is not in any position to apportion blame on the issue of violence in the North or in Nigeria in general. He is a protagonist of violence. The only solution he sees to his not being President is to call for violence. This government has tried to contain some of the repercussions of the unguarded statements made by Buhari and I don’t think anybody in Nigeria will take him seriously on this allegation.” The presidential aide added that if there were those to be blamed for the insecurity in the country, the name of Buhari should top the list. Okupe wondered why the Katsina State-born general had refused to visit states like Borno and Yobe despite the fact that he hails from the northern part of the country. He said, “As a former Head of State, have you ever seen him (Buhari) visiting Borno or Yobe States? Have you ever seen him show sympathy to people, either Christians or Muslims that have been killed during these attacks by Boko Haram? Have you see him as a leader, a man who traversed the entire length and breadth of the North especially to canvass for votes seeking an end to the violence? Why is it that he cannot use that same clout that he has to get leaders together and say we must put an end to this carnage? He finds it comfortable to shift the blame to other people. What has he done as a leader, who is from that region to help Nigeria and the North out of this unfortunate development? Nigerians should ask him, as a former Head of State and stakeholder in the Nigeria project and a man who wants to be President again, if he would want Nigeria to be destroyed up to a point before he can try to wade in? It does not work that way.” Okupe said that as a leader, Buhari should stop apportioning blame, but should do something crucial to bring the carnage in the country under control. He reminded the former military ruler that during the crisis in Niger Delta, leaders from the region went into the creeks and discussed with the militants to lay down their arms. “Has Buhari done that? When Christians were killed, he kept quiet, when mosques were bombed, he did not say anything. He doesn’t have any other interest in Nigeria but his inordinate ambition to rule,” he added. In his reaction, Buhari said there was no way he could be involved in the discussion on how to end the carnage since he was not part of the problem. Buhari, who spoke through the National Publicity Secretary of the CPC, Mr. Rotimi Fashakin, also said it was apparent that those responsible for the crisis in the Niger Delta were the ones that volunteered to end it.

He said, “When the Niger Delta militancy reached a crescendo, some notable people from that region went into the creeks as he (Okupe) alleged. The question is: ‘Who were the people who started the Niger Delta imbroglio ab initio?’ If the people that initiated and executed a problem decided to resolve it, what can anyone do about it? This is totally different from the Boko Haram palaver.”

is Mr president right?

Buhari is national leader of antagonists of Nigeria. This man could not be trusted with the affairs of the country. Always scheming, deceiving, talking from both sides of his mouth. It's obvious he is the greatest supporter of Boko Haram and a major sponsor. Is Nigeria presidency his birthright? Sai Buhari, you would never become the president of this country again. Nigerians are wiser and was the reason you failed in your comeback bid. You will fail again and again and again. No wonder Boko Haram couldn't surface for amnesty...

**Buhari is Boko Haram, Boko Haram is evil and so Buhari is evil**

Okupe is simply doing what is being paid for, counter accusing those accusing the president. Next!

Hit like if you think Buhari is the major Sponsor of BKH.

Jonathan and his spokes clowns are just a bunch of daft moda4kaz. If Buhari is the major sponsor of Boko haram and they have been making Nigeria unpeaceful, why the flying ffuuck sake are u telling me. Why d fuxk can't this zombie president who claims Boko Haram is in his govt not go after him and bring him to justice? All these bastards are playing politics with people's lives but I know Sha say one day bush meat go catch the hunter.

@muaa:
Hit like if you think Buhari is the major Sponsor of BKH.

hit like if you think this girl is a fool.

yeah u are right Okupe,Buhari should contribute his part as a leader. Also about the statement he made.

Na old episode of super story be this na...

Stale news ...

We know

Burger01: Buhari is national leader of antagonists of Nigeria. This man could not be trusted with the affairs of the country. Always scheming, deceiving, talking from both sides of his mouth. It's obvious he is the greatest supporter of Boko Haram and a major sponsor. Is Nigeria presidency his birthright? Sai Buhari, you would never become the president of this country again.

**Buhari is Boko Haram, Boko Haram is evil and so Buhari is evil**

guy u harsh o

Turbocharged: SOURCE.... Plz

must u look 4 source all the time. It seem u dnt hav imformation updater software

Then arrest him and stop spamming the airwaves

This long overdue public acknowledgement by the Nigerian government that Ayatolla Buhari Bin Laden is in fact the leader and sponsor of the Boko Haram terror gang should be regarded as the first step towards the delivery of final justice to Buhari.

A formal arrest warrant can now be issued, such that this un-repentant mass murdering cretin, Buhari, can be handed over to the International Criminal Court in The Hague for trial over crimes against humanity and genocide. There is a nice warm jail cell awaiting Buhari in The Hague, where he can be close to other war criminals, thieves and murderers of his ilk, and where he can ultimately die alone and isolated from the world he has harmed so much.

Finally, the families of the Nigerian Youth Corps members, who were slaughtered on Buhari's orders as revenge for his most recent landslide electoral loss, can breathe a sigh of relief, along with the families of all the innocents killed by the bombing campaign promised and delivered by an enraged and demented Buhari in the wake of that same electoral defeat.

Let justice run its pre-ordained course, President Johnny B. Good, and let Ayatollah Buhari be taken away in handcuffs and leg-irons to The Hague, so that his trial can commence right away.

So why haven't they arrested him, if they are so sure?

With all candour,its a stale news,der's no 1 in dis naija dat deosn't know dt buhari is boko aram himself,lets all face d truth,HE is,cos he's deir backbone.

Federal government is not ashamed of themselves. Why not arrest buhari instead of showing the whole world how incompetent they are in protecting lives and properties of Nigerians.

mr_man: So why haven't they arrested him, if they are so sure?

Thats the same question I want to ask Mr President.

They couldn't nail him with financial crimes, so they play games with the mind of gullible nigerians who believed in Mr I-had-no-shoes.

The last time one of GEJ's spokesman said something similar to this, Buhari almost sued the FG and they started begging.

I pray he sues them again and not heed to their public sympathy.

Shifting blames is the trademark of incompetence.


Frawzey

GEJ led govt keep on pointing @ GMB as d boko haram sponsor, if dy are sure of dmsef y cnt dy arrest and prosecute him. GEJ led govt always pointing fingers at d wrong directn. Dy should tell us d truth dat dy cnt tackle d insecurity challenge in d country

Is there a way Okupe can prove this? U dnt jst make controversial comments without basis

2015 is still far away but the vampier PDP/GEJ are already scared a sh'it. Trying whichever means possible to tarnish GMB's image ahead of the election even thou it wasn't clear if he's gonna contest. Ok, he's BH sponsor? Then arrest him asap. Shame to GEJ the coward

I hope Okupe is not being reckless with this accusation, cuz it's weighty, he should have a concrete prove for this. And if they think they possess one, they shouldn't hesitate to go for Buhari's jugular.

What proof have they against him?

If it is solid then he should be arrested. Or are they even please with the killings in the north?...
BH has made about 200 out of every 1000 news.

.

If the presidency / FG. is sure of this claim, what's holding them from arresting and prosecuting Buhari?

teniyi: Okupe is simply doing what is being paid for, counter accusing those accusing the president. Next!

Despite the fact that the truth of the matter are painted in 'white' you still can't see it! Someone like you needs to die and be re-born 7 times to really understand the world you are in
