Our politicians should not divide the North –ACF

Former Head of State and All Progressives Congress (APC), presidential aspirant, General Muhammadu Buhari (Retd) came down heavily on the rul ing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying Ni geria would be washed away as a country if the ruling party is given four more years in office in the 2015 general elec tion.

In the same vein, the Chairman of the Arewa Con sultative Forum (ACF), Ibra him Coomassie, in a good will message delivered on his behalf by Barrister Solo mon Dalung, urged northern ers not to allow themselves to be divided by the artificial differences created by politi­cians.

ACF urged politicians from the northern extraction to put the interest of the north first and above their personal interest, saying ACF’s de sire is for a united north that could give credible leader ship in the country.

Speaking yesterday, in Ka duna, on behalf of other pres idential aspirants of APC, at the party’s Northern stake holders’ interactive meet ing, General Buhari noted that Nigerians had become tired of incompetent leader ship and urged the electorate to ensure that free, fair and credible elections that will usher in credible leaders at all levels of governance in the country are held.

APC presidential aspi rants present at the meeting included former Vice Presi dent, Atiku Abubakar, Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and Sam Nda Isaiah. Other members were Zamfara State Governor, Ab dulazeez Yari, APC Deputy National Chairman (North), Senator Lawal Shuaibu, among others.

The former Head of State described 2015 as another year of extreme concern to Nigerians, urging partici pants at the meeting not to allow their members to be disenfranchised before or during the elections.

Apparently, making cari cature of huge presence of security operatives in Ekiti State during the gubernato rial election in the state, Bu hari noted that the number of soldiers, police and SSS deployed to the state during the election, were enough to rescue the abducted Chibok girls if the same number was deployed to the troubled north east. He recalled with pains that he contested presi­dential election three times in the country and ended up in the Supreme Court to challenge his failure, saying that judges that ruled on the cases were his own brothers from the North, while those behind him were Southern Christians.

Buhari said: “If PDP is given another four years to rule this country, Nigeria will go down the drain in 2015. This is because Nige rians are tired of incompetent leadership, so we must be ready to make sacrifices that will salvage the country, let us not allow our people to be disenfranchised during the elections, we must be united to ensure free, fair and cred ible elections in 2015.

“I contested the Presiden tial election three times in this country and failed and ended up in the Supreme Courts and lost the case. The first time the judges agreed that there were no elections and they were all Chris tians, but the second time, the judges that declared that the PDP had won despite the irregularities, were Fulanis from Adamawa and Taraba, and a Nupe man, that was when I understood that it was not about religion and ethnic ity, but Naira and Dollar. So, there is the need for the party to be united and make a dif ference in the general elec tions in 2015.”

Meanwhile, in his open ing speech, the APC Deputy National Chairman (North), Senator Lawal Shuaibu said one of the reasons for the stakeholders meeting was to sensitize the leaders of the party about their roles as guardians and conscience of the party.

Shuaibu said, “We expect that at the end of this meet ing, we will be able to de velop and adopt strategies for enhancing party unity and discipline. We equally hope that aside from what the con stitution specifies, we will be able to come up with home-spurned internal conflict res olution mechanisms that will solidify the party and build it into a strong institution.”

The more reason I'm voting Jonathan, let him win so that we go our separate ways

Oga buari,when are you going to comment on the boko haram vs FG current situation?

Nigeria and Nigerians are already in the drain. Can most of us beat our chest and say we like how our government is governing us? We need Buhari to bring us out of the drain we are in already. Vote Buhari, vote APC.

Buhari is synonymous with making inciting statement

We'll can see how gej and his camp which most of my friends here refer to as tanoids, are so afraid, see them tremble at the presence of buhari , well that's the result of gej clueless phoolishness , we tell him he didn't listen

@op u pple can say whatever , we really don't care , all we want is buhari come 2015 , instead of u all to begin begging buhari from now maybe gej will be given presidential pardon not spent most of his retirement in kirikiri maximum come 2015! U are ther still spreading hate !

obviously, you have no proper investment or business. People who have properties and a future to protect don't comment like this.
The onus of good governance is on us the citizens of this country. Why do you even think your region wouldn't be worse than the present state of Nigeria ? You may be saddled with nepotism, ethic conflicts and complex, corruption and lack rule-of-law .

Nigeria is already going down the drain. the amiable general only spoke what will happen if we don't kick out that zombie out of aso rock by all means come 2015.

NA YOU AND YOUR MAMA DEY FOR DRAIN

USELESS VULTURE

só Buhari is busy looking at the ethnicity and religion of judges presiding over his case. something that is alien to any body that wants to govern a country as religiously and culturally diverse as Nigeria. This man is an unrepentant fanatic and bigot. If given a chance this man will divide the Judiciary and the Military.
