Shehu Shagari Throws A Bombshell At Buhari: Quit Now by Onwe101(m): 9:12am On Feb 12, 2015
FULL TEXT OF LETTER FROM ALHAJI SHEHU SHAGARI
TO BUHARI
My brother, you have contested the Presidential
elections 3 times in this country and in all these
times,you have never asked me or my people at Shagari
village to support your bid. It is very obvious why you
can’t do that. You don’t have the courage after what you
did to me.
You truncated democracy with a dastardly coup and
took away power from me. You humiliated me and made
me to suffer, and you took away my opportunity to RULE
Nigeria. You said you do not want democracy in
Nigeria.. The same democracy you truncated, you are
fighting hard to get with desperation and diabolical
power.
You have entered into unholy alliance with some known
elements of disunity in the south but let me warn you.
You will suffer hard in the hands of Tinubu and his
political merchants who will use and dump you as they
did to Nuhu. In 2011, you cried publicly when you lost
election, and you made provocative and inciting
statements that plunged this country into untoward
unrest. You provoked our hot-blooded youths with war
cries which erupted into post election violence, that
brought Boko Haram into existence, over 500 innocent
Nigerians died instantly, most of them youth corpers
deployed from one of the unifying agencies of this
country. Personally, I do not have a problem with your
ambition.
It is your arrogance that bothers me. If you cannot
summon the courage to ask me and my family to vote
for you because you know we would not, why do you
think Nigerians would look kindly on your past record of
destroying a progressing democratic institutions
painfully put in place by some respected fathers of this
nations like Awolowo and Azikiwe. No my brother. It is
time to wake up from your delusion and do the needful if
you still have some conscience.
I am not writing this to you with vengeance intention. I
am a practicing Muslim and we leave matters of
vengeance to Allah. I write to you as a Nigerian, your
brother and a statesman who is deeply concerned. Quit
the presidential race now and save this country from the
dangling sword of Damocles being menacingly wield by
the crooks who surround you. This elections is not
about you or President Goodluck Jonathan. It is about
the unity of Nigeria which can only be assured by being
fair. By this I mean, being fair to the people of Niger
Delta.
We can only do this by either re-electing Goodluck or
substitute him with any of his kinsmen from the South-
south as that can only count fair for a people who are
entitled to 8 years in the office of the President. For the
elders council in the north, we have come to the
conclusion to work towards realizing that fairness. 4
years more is not eternity. It is not too much of a
concession for us to make to move Nigeria forward as
one indivisible and united country under one God.
May Allah open your mind to see reason.
God bless Nigeria.

The bolded part is all that we have been trying to tell this people but they will not listen. Jonathan will not rule Nigeria for life; he cannot and does not have the capacity to do that. Power will return to the North in 2019, every discerning mind can see that even the reasonable Northerners.

Jonathan is the first Nigerian president from the minority in this country from where we have been drilling oil all these years and sustaining the economy. If we all put our hands together and support this man, he will do better. It is such a shame that some people have ganged up to remove this man from office. OBJ was not a wonderful president, but he was allowed to do his two terms and even wanted to go for a third term if not that Atiku checked him. embarassed embarassed embarassed

A brotherly advice from shehu to Buhari.

May Allah truly open his mind to see reasons why he should retire from politics,call his boko boys to order and apologize to Nigerians.

Gej until Buhari goes back to school.

Fake news! Shagari is better educated than the forger of that letter. "Vengeance intention" lol. Please tell me how Shagari will write an open letter like this and Okupe has not told us, Guardian did not carry it, This Day, Sun News, Punch, Vanguard etc etc, nobody of any relevance printed it? Even the website did not attach any journalists name to it, perhaps fearing libel charges? Mtcheeeeeew #fail
