Sealeddeal: Former Nigerian Head of State Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari has accused President Goodluck Jonathan of
deploying the institutions of the state to wage war
against the country, especially the opposition. In a statement issued in Kaduna on Sunday, Gen.
Buhari urged President Jonathan to pull the brakes on
his Administration’s runaway train of impunity in
the interest of Nigeria’s survival and the sustenance
of the nation’s democracy. He said the developments in the polity have become
an unwelcome distraction for the nation’s ongoing
survival battle against the terror group Boko Haram,
which has put Nigeria on the tenterhooks, with
innocent citizens being daily mowed down at the
times and places of the group’s chosen and over 200 school girls spending their fourth month in
precarious captivity ”In my capacity as an elder statesman, rather than a
politician, I have spoken to President Jonathan in
private over these issues, but indications are that the
strategy has not yielded positive fruits. I cannot, just
because I am an opposition politician, fail to do what is
expected of me as an elder statesman to help rescue our nation in times of great trouble and palpable
uncertainty. ”History will not be kind to me if I sit back while
things turn bad, just so that no one will accuse me of
partisanship. Yes, I am a politician. Yes, I am in the
opposition. Yes, there is the tendency for my
statement to be misconstrued as that of a politician
rather than a statesman. But I owe it as matter of duty and honour, and in the interest of our nation, to speak
out on the dangerous trajectory that our nation is
heading. ”I can say, in all sincerity, that I have seen it all, as
an ordinary citizen, a military officer, a head of state, a
man who has occupied many other sensitive posts
and a politician. I have been a close participant and
witness to Nigeria’s political history. ”Our country has gone through several rough
patches, but never before have I seen a Nigerian
President declare war on his own country as we are
seeing now. Never before have I seen a Nigerian
President deploy federal institutions in the service of
partisanship as we are witnessing now. Never before have I seen a Nigerian President utilize the common
wealth to subvert the system and punish the
opposition, all in the name of politics. Our nation has
suffered serious consequences in the past for
egregious acts that are not even close to what we are
seeing now. It is time to pull the brakes,” Gen. Buhari warned.
