State Of Emergency: APC Leaders Angry With Buhari

LEADERS of the yet to be registered opposition alliance party, All Progressives Congress (APC) have expressed anger at the statements credited to former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari, which indicated that the declaration of a state of emergency in three states of the North was anti-North.

Buhari had been quoted as saying in a programme on a Kaduna-based FM station that the declaration of a state of emergency in the three states of the North was anti-North and that he does not support President Goodluck Jonathan’s tactics on dealing with insurgency.

He also claimed that the government was being high-handed on the insurgents operating in parts of Northern Nigeria, adding that when militancy happened in the South South, the Federal Government invited the perpetrators and granted them amnesty.

But leaders of the mega party, who have dissected Buhari’s statements were said to have expressed surprise at the claims by the former Head of state.

One of the leaders said that such a statement would only further alienate members of the emerging mega party, the APC from Buhari.

“Already, many people are saying that Buhari should not be used as the candidate of the party in the 2015 election, such a statement is capable of portraying him (Buhari) as someone who does not believe in the unity of Nigeria and it could negatively impact on the party.

“What we expect from Buhari are statements that would portray him as a statesman, not as a sectional leader. He as a former Head of State should be talking for Nigeria and not for a part thereof. Anything to the contrary will open him to undue scrutiny,” the source said.

Leaders of the APC were said to have criticized Buhari’s comments as off the mark.

A source said that the development has reinforced the resolve of the APC to field a younger presidential candidate in 2015 adding that when the time comes, Buhari would be told to hands off the presidential race.

Look at you dancing in the street. We are all here as GEJ is practicing full blast tribal governance. The other day he said to Igbos visiting him in Aso Rock that even in the north they were the ones who put him in Aso Rock. All it means is that Nigeria need to search high and low for real leaders come 2015 - definitely not GEJ and perhaps not Buhari.

I have said it before and I would say it again.

Where is video evidence? Buhari said that calmpdown is too harsh?

We know Nigerian journalist would write whatever they are paid to write by corrupt politicians.

We know 40 laptops are at work these days.




Buhari paying respect to traditional leaders:

GENERAL BUHARI VISITS YOLA AFTER QUENCHING RELIGIOUS RIOTING THAT LEFT DOZENS DEAD.[/size]
Nigeria's military ruler, Major-General Mohamed Buhari, visited the northeastern Nigerian city of Yola - in Gongola state - February 29 to assess the extent of damage caused by violent communal rioting two days earlier.

The known death toll from the religious disturbances is nearly 140, with at least another 60 persons injured, some critically. Gongola's acting state governor, Colonel Cyril Iweze, blamed the turmoil on fanatical followers of Moslem fundamentalist Muhammadu Marwa Maitatsine's religious sect. Marwa himself was killed in vicious rioting three years ago, when an estimated 4,000 people died.

In disturbances on February 27, the army was eventually called in to quell resistance from thousands of religious fanatics, at least 715 of whom were arrested by security forces.

General Buhari visited the Yola Specialist Hospital during his one-day tour of the gutted city, and also met with the Lamido of Adamawa, Alhaji Mustapha Aliyu, to discuss the situation.

General Buhari Imposes Curfew To End Religious Riots[/size]

. .BAUCHI, Nigeria, April 28— A dusk-to-dawn curfew has been imposed on the northern Nigerian town of Gombe, where more than 100 people have died in religious riots, an official statement said today.

Officials said the deaths occurred in two days of fighting between the police and members of the banned fundamentalist Maitatsine Islamic sect.

The Bauchi state government said that anyone violating the curfew ''will be regarded as a fanatic and will be shot on sight.''

The statement said the situation in Gombe was under control and most members of the sect were fleeing the town. A total of 146 suspected members of the sect had been arrested, it added.

Shooting broke out at dawn on Friday when the police tried to arrest Yusufu Adamu, the sect's leader in Gombe. Officials said nothing had been heard of him since, and it was unclear whether he was among those killed.

The initial police action cleared the sect out of its stronghold, but Nigerian television said many more lives were lost that night when the sect killed local people they had taken hostage.

Even the Bible says "From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh". No matter how APC try to manage his public utterances to pretend he is a national figure, the man will keep disgracing them. The man is a bigot, a fanatic, an extremist and full of hate for Christians. He enjoys the bombings and spilling of blood. That is why he has never sympathised with Christians nor condemn his men when they bomb innocent church members.

He meant that GEJ said it was the Igbos in the North that helped him get re-elected. As opposed to ... the northerners voting him in.

Why won't the news source mention the names of those who opposed Buhari's comments?

Maybe they are cowards.

Maybe the news about the discontentment was sponsored by the opposition.

Whatever the case is, I don't fxcking care about them cos they don't care about me either. They can massacre themselves.

You are not going to vote for him before.

Can you paste the full text of the interview where he said the emergency is anti-north?

I know Buhari is opposed to the emergency ruling just like other key members of APC. They have all made their position known and their position has been use more of intelligence than force. Force will only result in too much civilian casualty.

The question is, can we say we won the war against Boko Haram without capturing their key leaders like Shekau and not apprehending their sponsors? To do this requires more of intelligence than force and this is when we can say the war has been won.

How is he tribalistic? You are the tribalistic ones who doesnt want to hear anything Hausas or north despite the hausas being more accommodating to other people than your tribe. How many ibos are in the north compared to other tribes in your region? Tell me...

Go and check Buhari's cabinet members when he was head of state, PTF chairperson, etc.

The same man you are accusing of tribalism didnt forgive Maitasini when the later was killing people in the north. His government identified him and he was killed with NO civilian casualty.

The same way some us belief Odi invasion by soldiers was unnecessary. And I am sure you were opposed to Odi invasion because you are from that region. Tell yourself how Godly you are if you oppose Odi invasion and you support emergency rule in the north.

Buhari has never been a national leader, He is a sectional and religious leader and has no place again in Nigeria, We have outgrown Sectional and Religious Politics and Nigerians are tired of it and that's the reason PDP which is a national Party keeps wining and winning.
