Buhari is confusing my head. His utterances r just too contradictory.

NaijaFutbol:
We get it

[size=14pt]Their Constitutional Rights Will get to Them but I will Treat those that voted for me Preferentially [/size]

We have ears and do not need the interviewer to translate like what transpired in the video or OP like you to tell us what he meant

kayo80:
Hmm! I am a Buhari supported but I didn't support his earlier statement concerning this sensitive issue. He should forget the past and just rule all equally and shame his doubters from on region of the country.

Vivalavida99:


Damage control lol



We should learn to choose our words carefully, as we can hurt, and mislead others. Words...can't be taken back, once you give them away. Harsh words are like bullets: no matter what, they can still leave a painful injury. And sometimes, a sorry is not enough to heal the wounds you leave.

Meiji:
My own issue with that video is the fact that someone had to explain "inclusive governance" to him. Na that one still dey pepper me for body.

StOla:



It is the same utterance as the one that has been deliberately propagated by his critics.
This is just the full remarks that captures what the true message was.

kayo80:


I just watched the video...Now I get BABA. Please, I urge people to watch the video before they fully condemn him. By the way, this is the transcribed version.

"PMB: Er yes, erm I hope you have a copy of the election results. Literally, constituencies for example, that gave me 97 percent cannot in all honesty be treated, on some issues, with constituencies that gave me 5 percent. I think this is a political reality. While certainly there will be justice for everybody, everybody will get his constitutional rights, but where the party and constituencies that by their sheer work, they made sure that they got their people to vote and to ensure that their votes count, they must feel that the government has appreciated the effort they put in putting the government in place. I think this is really fair in delivering.


By the constitution, no state can be excluded from government. So there is no way, even if I want to show gratitude to those constituencies that heavily voted for me against those that didn't even vote for me. They have the protection of the government and I made an undertaking that I belong to everybody and belong to nobody. If I come clearly and show and marginalise a certain group because they didn't vote for me, then I have already contradicted myself and I am sure people would be too quick to pick that against me."

redsconsult:
PMB will change Nigeria for good . Nigeria will be great again. it will be country to rule africa in few years to come and the world soon. PMB my only fear is in 2019 if all your effort will not be grounded again by some useless cabals and thieves.

onatisi:
Since this grandpa began the president ,hardly a week goes by without him contradicting himself. That only shows and proves his confused state of mind about the nation and how to govern as a civilian president .

Demdem2:
Ibos can go to hell.
I wonder why they should be expecting a "brain dead" person not to marginalize them.
They didnt sow right, yet they want to reap right? Instead they sowed hatred, they should reap calamity. Baba shouldnt allow these fools that dont even want him to succeed from the beginning to bully him.
Hopeless bigots.
I understand that there are exceptions though.

viktor01:


when patience said that this man was too old to rule Nigeria, people almost ate her alive and now, the reality of that saying is hitting on us.

Berrymoss:
Buhari is confusing my head. His utterances r just too contradictory.

PROVACATEUR:
He has spoken his mind before his retraction, Imagine a GEJ said * I will be happy if we have ND as an independent country* and in that same time retract and explain that statement, what do you think will happen on social media in the next seconds.

onatisi:
we warned niggerians about buhari but the hatred against gej beclouded ppl sense of reasoning. Atiku would have made a better president. But now we are stuck with a 73years old goro chewing grandpa

barcanista:
My Dear, it is on record that Buhari has made a bigoted statement that is unworthy of his office

Atlantian:
Listening to Buhari speak makes me feel ashamed how we went this low.

[s]Goon, i say it as it is. I see a shovel and call it one and not agricultural equipment. If in the process u and ur kind feel offended then to hell with u all. By the way, are u also Ibo?[/s]

taharqa:



GOD bless you!!!

BankeSmalls:


This president has contradicted himself more that 5 times and his administration is yet to start, comedy central. This government go sweet pass Sugar

aguiyi:
mad people.

you quickly pushed this thread to the front page to douse the tension the other is already generating. dont worry yourselves, the message was well received by those it was directed at.

Last week, OBJ said the people of Niger Delta will surfer for the actions or in-actions of GEJ in office, few days later, daura-dullard has said something in the same direction and someone is telling me about context.

Cowards will always be cowards no matter what cos it runs in the blood.

can you also deny that he was asking someone during that interview what an inclusive govt is

jmoore:
This topic is a foolish one. Buhari is talking out from both sides of his mouth. Is he really confused?

All these fanatics asslickers that can't call a spade a spade.

BankeSmalls:


Everyone that ever supported Buhari as a president should be arrested and flogged

dearpreye:
I watched that video and I know what I heard. All these attempts at damage control won't change a thing. Whether he meant what he said OR it was a premeditated answer I couldn't tell but one thing is certain: almost every person from the SS/SE couldn't have been surprised at his words.

With every passing moment it's becoming clearer that this nation has a date with truth. It must address all the undercurrents pulling this nation in different directions.

firstEVA:
how so? Where did he say he would marginalise anyone before?

StOla:



PDP had vowed to function as opposition solely on propaganda.
Beware of the tales you read online.
