Buhari Supporters Write Petition To Counter Anti- Buhari Petition by Nobody: 10:13pm On Jan 03, 2016
BY SAHARA REPORTERS, NEW YORK
JAN 03, 2016
A petition written by supporters of President
Muhammadu Buhari intends to counter a similar one
circulating online calling for his resignation or
impeachment for violating court orders.The petition in support of President Buhari, started
on iPetitions by Audu Bukarti, states that “some
political prostitutes and their clients have started an
online petition calling on PMB to resign his office for
their allegation that the president shown total lack of
respect to Court Order when refused to release two
high profile accused persons, Colonel Sambo Dasuki
and the Biafran separatist leader, Nnamdi Kanu.”
Mr. Bukarti continues, “this petition is a calculated
attempt to demoralize our president and truncate his
war against corruption in public offices.”
A December 31st petition written by Carol Ajie on
Change.org, which calls for President Buhari’s
resignation, has received approximately 2,033
supporters at the time of this publication. The
petition argues that President Buhari has violated his
oath of office because he has not discharged his
duties faithfully and in accordance with the
Constitution. The petition against President Buhari
claims that “in holding Mr Kanu [detained by the
Department of State Services] beyond the required
period they have infracted on the Immigration Act,
the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, the
Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999
and subsisting court orders.”
The Change.org petition asserts that “President
Buhari [should] resign from office or face
impeachment proceedings. Alternatively avoid
another Burundi, call him to comply with the Orders
of Courts.”
At the time of publication the petition in support of
President Buhari, which started on January 3rd 2016,
has approximately 3,064 signatures
These dueling petitions are the latest form of online
activism in Nigeria questioning the legitimacy and
leadership of President Buhari. Online and social
media have been critical of President Buhari’s
treatment of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the
Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), who was
unlawfully arrested by agents of the Department of
State Services (DSS). President Buhari has also been
widely criticized for his many trips to foreign
countries and the massacre of Shiite Muslims by the
military in Zaria, Kaduna State.

That's what you get when your president is an illiterate and his supporters are a bunch of brain washed political harlots.

When the wailing wailers had just 600 signature they claimed they are gathering momentum. Now what should we call this? This is beyond momentum! Sai Buhari!

Let's see how many likes this post will fetch for Buhari smiley.

Nobody is above the law, the rule of law must prevail. So Buhari must obey the constitution or let him get out there.
