Sometimes in February this year, the National Council of States meeting was organized, as usual, Gen. Buhari wasn't present at the meeting. And the question I keep asking myself is: “Why would any sane person ever think that Buhai would attend any NCS meeting?” Because I could remember that Buhari told us sometimes June 2011 that he would never attend the NCS meeting until the injustice done to him during previous elections is redressed!

ABSENTEES' REPORT FROM THE NCS MEETING IN FEBRUARY 2014

The absentees

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, former Head of States General Muhammadu Buhari, and Governor Rotimi Amaechi were absent from the gathering.

Amaechi’s Chief Press Secretary David Iyofor later explained that the Governor’s absence was not deliberate as he had to travel out of country.

It is still unknown, however, why Obasanjo and Buhari ignored the meeting. 

Both politicians oppose President Goodluck Jonathan’s plan to contest election in 2015, what might have prevented them from coming to the NCS gathering.

Buhari had earlier said he would not attend the NCS until the injustice allegedly done to him during the 2011 election was redressed, while Obasanjo recently accused Jonathan of violating his promise not to run for a second term in office.

I will not attend Council of State meeting – Buhari

London – Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, the CPC Presidential candidate in the April general elections, says he will not participate in the Council of State meeting until after a ruling on the party’s petition by the Presidential Election Tribunal.

Buhari, whose party is challenging the election of President Goodluck Jonathan in the election, said this on Monday in London in a lecture he delivered at Chatham House.

The Council of State meeting is presided over by a sitting president, and attended by all former Heads of State.

Buhari refused to attend the meeting when he challenged the results of the 2003 Presidential Election won by then President Olusegun Obasanjo.

In the lecture entitled: “Nigeria’s 2011 Elections: Reflections on the Process and Prospects for Nigeria,’’ Buhari said he would await the ruling of the tribunal before attending the meeting.

“I will wait for the outcome of the case before I decide on my membership of the Council,’’ Buhari said.

He recalled that he was in court for 15 months in 2003.

“After the 2003 elections, I stopped attending the council meeting because we had challenged the outcome of the election that brought Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo to power
.

“I hope the CPC will not have any cause to go to the Supreme Court just like we did then,’’ he added.

Buhari explained that he cried during the campaign for the April elections because, according to him, “there is no social justice in Nigeria’’.

He expressed regret that “there is so much decay in the system, which makes it difficult for the average Nigerian to afford basic necessities, including good education’’.

Pastor Tunde Bakare, Buhari’s running mate in the election, said he shared Buhari’s view.

“Until genuine democracy is entrenched, the polity will remain unstable. (NAN)

I want those guys who were asking for the last time Buhari attended a NCS meeting, to learn. From the report, we can see that he stopped attending the meeting in 2003 [ie, he didn't stop it during GEJ's regime] after he challenged the election that brought Obasanjo into power. That means he had been attending before then!

Kokorokoo, the TANdroid, you're also expected to show up here even if you're bereft of idea.

Does it really make sense to invite an aging clueless junkie to the NCS?. Good he abstained.

Buhari is Nigeria's only past ruler that puts his personal ambition over that of the state. He believes he won in 2003, 2007 and 2011, hence decides not to attend.

In the unlikely event Buhari wins 2015 election, what makes one thinks other past presidents will attend a council of states meeting called by Buhari?
Buhari is too divisive and a time bomb waiting to go off.

Why has Buhari not refused the largesse given to him as past head of state? This Buhari of a man is so full of personal interest.

GEJ till 2019.


haters can go hug a female suicide bomber.

Some of them just have to be taught in order for them not to think they are intelligent.

And someone would tell me that buhari is passionate about this country! Wat I see is selfishness instead!

His disputes about the previous elections have been a subject of court litigation.

So a man planning to be commander in chief in a democratic setting can't even abide by the rulings of the supreme court and move on?

Another example of Buhari's way or the high way!

If at 81, Martin Elechi still wants to go to the Senate, why then is Buhari not fit to contest for the Presidency at 72?! Guy, pls reason with your brain na!
