If true, this dude is desperate to continue his loot.

So because Super Eagles failed to qualify for
AFCON, they should go and bring Kanu
Nwankwo, Taribo west and JJ Okocha to
come and play for us to qualify? That's what
you Buhari supporters are trying to do. Stop
basing Buhari's Campaign on his ability to
end corruption when he went as far as
borrowing 27 million naira from a so called
bank to secure a ticket( we know he lied)


I can tell yu for sure that any body's
Utterances isa direct reflection of the real
person in him or her. The utterances of APC
stalwarts and supporters is a direct
reflection of who they really are and how
they govern and would govern, God forbid if
they win the presdency. For those who hing
their support for Buhari on impeccable
intergrity alone, yu may wish to read
through the following history of the man
and think again.

MANY SINS OF GEN MUHAMMADU LEKO
BUHARI AND WHY NIGERIANS MUST VOTE
WISELY (PART 2)
1. Gen Buhari allowed Shehu Kangiwa, the
then Sokoto State Governor from
1979-1981, who conducted and supervised
the famous "Bakolori Massacre" of poor
peasant farmers, whose lands were seized
without compensation, to remain under a
very comfortable house arrest, without
punishment or proper imprisonment.
2. Ikemba Chukwuemeka Odumegwu
Ojukwu, another Igboman who had just
returned from 13 years of exile in 1982,
following a pardon by then president, Shehu
Shagari, was as well locked up in Kiri-Kiri
Prison by Buhari. Till this day, we are not
told what Ojukwu's offence was.
3. Buhari's CPC loyalists massacred and
lynched Nigerian youth corpers after the last
election. A refined politician is expected to
tender an apology on behalf of the ignorant
loyalists, buhari refused to apologise. He
said, the mob was angry because they felt
the election was rigged. Is that sufficient
enough to take the life of another?
4. Buhari pretended to have forgotten, his
CPC party, rigged the election by registering
under aged voters. He who comes to equity
must come with clean hands.
5. In 1983, an article "The Mallams are
Coming" written long ago in the 70's by Bisi
Onabanjo, whose column Aiyekooto (parrot
- known for telling the plain truth) and a
later one in which Onabanjo wrote, people
should watch out for that "Gangly Officer
from the North" after Buhari gave a no holds
barred speech at a Army function, where he
openly supported only pro-Fulani and pro-
Islam to the exclusion of all other ethnic
groups, and the termination of democratic
rule, was recalled by Buhari. For exposing
that, Onabanjo got a harsh jail term and was
tortured while in prison.
6. Mrs. Vera Ifudu, who was an NTA
reporter, was sacked on Buhari's orders as
military ruler, for reporting what Dr. Olusola
Saraki had told her in an interview about
how the missing, $2.8 Billion money, while
buhari was petroleum minister, was traced
to Buhari’s account at Midland Bank, London
branch. In view of this, OBJ scraped PTF over
Buhari’s misappropriatio n. Vera eventually
won her case in court after providing
evidence, and was financially compensated.
7. That obnoxious Decree 4 by buhari,
against which truth was no defence, was
used to jail journalists, an attempt to shut-
up the media as a whole. That tyrannical
legislation of buhari shows the essence of
his intolerance.... . facts of recent history.
8. On the 4th of September, 1984, minutes
before leaving Nigeria for an extensive tour
of the US, Fela Anikulapo Kuti was arrested
at the airport of Lagos on orders of Buhari
and was jailed for 5 years, on bogus
charges under emergency law initiated by
dictator buhari, which prompted the
sentencing judge to later confess that, he
was ordered to do so and apologised to
Fela. Get Fela's (Army Arrangement) song for
more expose'.
9. Against all canons of legal decency, Buhari
executed Lawal Ojuolape (30),
BernardOgedengb e (29) and Bartholomew
Owoh (26). Toput it quite plainly, one of
those three –Ogedengbe – was executed for
a crime that did not carry a capital forfeit at
the time it was committed.
10. Buhari was in full support of all the
atrocities of Sani Abacha against the
Nigerian people. There is no single record of
his criticism of Sani Abacha during those
dark days when Nigeria was on precipice. It
shows that he is a patriot of convenience.
11. After the military government of Major-
General Muhammadu Buhari took power,

OK

LoL

Maku will be back in PDP in the near future if PDP wants him back. If PDP rejects him, he can always join other PDP rejects in APC.

APGA! From frying pan to hell fire, serious flame.

Maku the desperado! He can as well be the chairman of APGA for all I care!

APGA in Nasarawa Oh! I forgot, igbos make up 70 percent of Nasarwa.. Lol. This man is just a clown

Hmm! APGA is going places, very soon they will take over NC states beginning with Nassarawa..
