2015: Public Appeal To Apc's Senator Tinubu by vb0mb(m): 7:11am On Jan 15, 2015
Since the emergence of the All Progressives
Congress, Nigerians have been arguing
whether the party is different from the ruling
Peoples Democratic Party. Also, both parties’
presidential candidates, General Muhammadu
Buhari (rtd.) and the incumbent President
Goodluck Jonathan, and their respective
teams have come under the scrutiny of the
electorate. Naij.com guest writer Dr. Deborah
Nelson , from Ilorin, once again appeals
publicly to a prominent Nigerian politician –
this time, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu,
an influential member of the APC.

“Good day, Sir. Congratulations on the
successful conduct of the APC’s convention
in Lagos to elect its presidential candidate for
the 2015 election. Though you were denied
the luxury to conduct the ‘selection’ in your
bedroom as usual, you still managed to weep
the Oshimholes into line behind your ‘beloved
godson’ , General Mohammadu Buhari (rtd) .
Having succeeded in forcing APC governors to
‘gang up’ against other presidential aspirants,
you set the stage for the exercise to be
professionally manipulated to produce him as
the elected presidential candidate of the APC.
Consequently, Governor Okorocha, one of the
presidential candidates, had since been
blaming his failure to win the primary election
on what he calls ‘gang-up of the APC
governors’. If any other presidential candidate
was the beneficiary of the ‘gang-up’, your
godson would have condemned it and incited
his supporters to soak ‘dogs and baboons’ in
blood. He had since been adopted as a
consensus candidate for Northern Nigeria
(Hausa, Fulani and Kanuri Muslims, to be
specific). According to Alhaji Coomassie , the
Chairman of a Hausa-Fulani pressure group,
ACF, the North “is going to support a Northern
candidate. And since APC had voted a Northern
candidate, we are going to support him 100%.
So Buhari is our candidate for the 2015
election.”

“Days after Nigeria gained independence in
1960, Sir Ahmadu Bello was quoted to having
said, “This new nation called Nigeria should be
an estate of our great grand father, Usman Dan
Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of
power. We use the minorities in the North as
winning tools and the South as a conquered
territory, never allow them to rule over us and
never allow them to have control over their
future.” Since the above statement was made
by the Sultan, it had continued to serve as a
roadmap for Hausa-Fulani politicians, hence
they believe that it is their birthright to use
any means possible to either reclaim power or
prevent non-Hausa-Fulani Muslims from ruling
over them. Sir, as long as prominent Nigerians
like you prefer to serve them as ‘winning
tools’, Hausa-Fulani politicians will continue to
behave as if Nigeria is an estate of Usman
Dan Fodio. In 1961, the same Sultan Bello
said, “I am set and fully armed to conquer the
Action Group in the same ruthless manner my
great grandfather conquered Alkalawa, a town in
Sokoto Province during the last Century.” May I
remind you, Sir, that what happened to Chief
Obafemi Awolowo and the Action Group
between then and 1966 were direct
consequences of this statement. Any Yoruba
politician who fails to find out the real source
of conflict between the two illustrious sons of
Oduduwa, Chief Awolowo and Chief Akintola
and adjust accordingly may have
themselves to blame. You can never be more
loyal to Hausa-Fulani politicians than late
Chief MKO Abiola, but where is he today and
how was he rewarded?

“There are irrefutable records at the United
States District Court for Northern District of
Illinois indicating that most of your assets and
properties were confiscated by the US
government in 1993 because of your
involvement in drug trafficking in the US. The
records also indicate that you were an
employee of Mobil Nigeria Limited on a salary
of $2,400 per month and a proud owner of ten
bank accounts, one at the First Heritage
Bank, nine at the Citi International Bank. Out
of over $1.4 million USD found in your
accounts, you forfeited $460,000 USD to the
US government. Although you were not
subjected to criminal prosecution, the fact
that you acceded to forfeit $460,000 USD to
the US government on account of your
trafficking in drugs in the US was on its own a
conviction. However, if you are not a
convicted drug baron, as contained in the
court papers and report to NDLEA, call a
press conference and exonerate yourself
because the APC cannot afford to have a
convicted drug baron as its national leader.
“In order to actualize your self-imposed task
of installing a Hausa-Fulani president in 2015,
you collaborated with Hausa-Fulani politicians,
the most conservative ethnic groups in the
country, to form a political party, the All
Progressives Congress. Funny enough, APC’s
slogan is ‘change’. Change from what to
what? The policies of the APC-controlled
states, especially those in the North, and
antecedents of its key members are anything
but progressive. Sokoto, Kano, Borno, Yobe
states are dominated by Hausa, Fulani, and
Kanuri Muslims. At the recently-concluded
National Conference, they rejected fiscal
federalism, state police, local government
autonomy, resource control, Child Rights Bill,
among other propositions. They consider
Western education, birth control, vaccination
against polio, and girl child education as ‘anti-
Islamic’. Because of their ‘progressive’
policies, Nigeria is yet to eradicate polio.
These states account for over 90% of beggars,
internally displaced persons, illiterates and
almajiris . While a girl child as young as 7
years old is given out in marriage, a boy child
as young as 5 years old is dumped with any
Imam anywhere for years to acquire Islamic
education with no support whatsoever from
his biological parents. In these ‘progressive’
states, people reproduce like rabbits as long
as they live thereby creating inexhaustible
reservoirs of expendable human robots
(almajiris) whom your godson and other
Hausa-Fulani politicians had been using to
prosecute religious riots often initiated by
them. Sir, are these the much-trumpeted
changes Nigerians should expect from the
APC?

“Your godson is expected to ‘captain’ the
Nigerian ship should the APC emerge
victorious in 2015 presidential election, but his
utterances are to say the least disturbing.
While speaking in Kaduna at a seminar
organized by Supreme Council for Sharia in
Nigeria in 2001, he said, “Sharia should be
introduced in full across Nigeria. I will continue
to show openly and inside me the total
commitment to the Sharia movement that is
sweeping all over Nigeria. God’s willing, we will
not stop the agitation for the total
implementation of the Sharia in the country. It is
a legal responsibility which Allah has given us
within the context of one Nigeria to continue to
uphold the practice of Sharia wholeheartedly
and to educate non-Muslims that they have
nothing to fear. What remains of Muslims in
Nigeria is for them to redouble their efforts and
educate fellow Muslims on the need to promote
the full implementation of Sharia Laws.”
“In spite of the bloody Sharia riots in Kaduna
State in 2000 which claimed thousands of
lives and destroyed properties worth millions
of naira, he was here in 2001 announcing his
“total commitment to Sharia movement” . This
was an arrogant display of insensitivity. His
total commitment to promote full
implementation of Sharia Laws in Nigeria
might have convinced him to regard Boko
Haram terrorists as partners in the service of
Allah because, apart from warning President
Jonathan that any attack on Boko Haram
terrorists would be considered as an attack on
the North, he went further to criticize the
President for not treating Boko Haram
terrorists the same way Niger Delta militants
are being treated. He said that Boko Haram
terrorists were only fighting for their rights,
hence Jonathan should stop bombing them
and destroying their homes. Sir, what ‘changes’
do we expect from a man with such undiluted
commitment to promote full implementation of
Sharia Laws in Nigeria?

“Sir, I observe that you and other key
members of APC always threaten to set the
nation ablaze if APC does not emerge
victorious in 2015 presidential election.
At your investiture as the Pro-Chancellor of
Ladoke Akintola University of Technology in
Ogbomoso, you said, “No government that
wants people’s votes will be doing what they
are doing. They are already planning to rig the
elections, but be prepared to protect your votes,
nobody serves you freedom à la carte. It is
going to be rig and roast.”

“In 2010, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar said, “Those
who make peaceful change impossible make
violent change inevitable .” In 2014, Mallam el-
Rufai said, “The next election is likely to be
violent and many people are likely going to die.
And the only alternative left to get power is to
take it by force, this is the reality on the
ground.” In March 2014, APC Chieftain from
North East, Alhaji Abu Shuluwa , said, “Nigeria
will descend into anarchy if Jonathan is allowed
to contest 2014 election.” APC Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed , said, “Let us
remind the presidency in case it has forgotten
that electoral fraud triggered civil war in Algeria
in the 1990s.” The Chairman of APC, Chief
John Oyegun , said, “If we do not see any
discernable change of attitude on the part of
government, then we will move to the next stage
on the list of actions that our party intends to
take to stop the rot being perpetrated by the
PDP government.” During Salvation Rally in
Port Harcourt, Governor Amaechi said, “What
is the essence of going to court when the
Federal Government does not obey the laws?
That is why APC will not go to court any longer.
If you rig us, out we will rig ourselves in, which
means if you can rig us out in 2015, we will
form our own government. We have met on that,
we have agreed on that. We will install our own
government, and there will be two
governments.” At his inauguration on 27
November 2014, Governor Aregbesola said,
“We will take over Federal Government next
year. Anything you have, get it ready. We must
pursue Jonathan out of Abuja next year by all
means necessary.”

“Judging from your antecedents, election is
never credible unless you are declared the
winner. You have promised to set the nation
ablaze if you do not win next year’s
presidential election. The other day, I saw
your godson in a group photograph with his
beautiful children. How would he feel if
anyone killed these lovely, innocent children
just because a politician does not win an
election? Sir, how would you feel if your
beautiful wife were ‘roasted’ because a
politician does not win an election? Even
considering that the election is massively
rigged, does that justify killings? What’s next?
When will you use your privileged position to
serve your creator and mankind instead of
chasing shadows and shedding blood? Your
godson’s utterances had led to post-election
violence that swept through the North in
2011. Apart from turning thousands into
orphans, widows, widowers, what has he
benefited from that avoidable but massive
destruction of lives and properties?
“The participation of your ‘godson’ as the APC
presidential candidate in the forthcoming
presidential election is a two-edged sword.
His victory or defeat are both to likely
cause problems. In case of defeat, you both
are most likely to stir up violence; but this
time, I am afraid, there may be reprisal
attacks. All these outbreaks may degenerate
into total breakdown of law and order. If
Buhari wins, the people of Niger Delta may
disrupt oil and gas production to make his
government ungovernable because they
believe that Hausa-Fulani politicians are the
sponsors of Boko Haram terrorists and Fulani
herdsmen. Such development will have very
serious adverse effects on the economy.
However, this can be averted if the
recommendations of the recently-concluded
National Conference are fully implemented.
“This country must not be allowed to break up
as predicted by the Americans. God bless
Nigeria.”

A party whose National Leader is retired drug Baron is not the entity that will lead Nigeria to the promise Land!

While Buhari was Killing people using a Backdated Law Tinubu was Busy selling heroine and cocaine in the US!
Now they want us to Belive they are they change we need How?

What Hope does young people have under the APC

They have an opportunity to appoint or elect a Young National chairman they. Choosed a 76 year old Great Grand Father

A Golden opportunity came to present a Young presidential aspirant they rigged it in favour of a 73 year old

NOT done the allotted the Vice presidential Candidate slot to a drug Baron who appointed a stooge who is anything but young!

Even the traditional National Youth leadership of the Party reserved for young people was taken away from them and given to a 52 year old former HOR aspirant!

Young People have No future Under APC!, the Youngest Governorship Candidates are in the PDP, Nasko and Udom two young men with a lot of promise!

The National youth Leader of the PDP was elected at 30 the minister of Foreign affairs is less than 35 !

Governance in the 21 st century will be driven by information Technology Placing analogue politicians to manage a world that is increasing driven by the adoption of broadband is a Mistake young Nigerians must not make Come Feb 14

May God Help us to Vote wisely
