[size=14pt]Buhari not a serious candidate, says ACN[/size] .
Thursday, 03 February 2011 00:05 Nigerian Compass   

DAYS after the alliance talks between the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) and the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) collapsed,  the rivalry between the two parties deepened yesterday.

The ACN described the CPC presidential flagbearer for the April 9 election, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) as an unserious candidate.

It said if not for Buhari’s unyielding nature, despite the compelling need to consider the overriding national interest, the alliance would have defeated the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan.

ACN accused Buhari of not demonstrating “sufficient seriousness and political will to forge a workable electoral cooperation” and has thus called off any alliance between it and the CPC.
In a letter written by the party’s National Chairman, Chief Bisi Akande, and addressed to his  CPC counterpart, Prince Tony Momoh, the ACN gave other reasons for calling off the alliance to include the fact that “it (ACN) no longer considers a merger feasible.”



Akande explained in the letter that his party, which preferred a merger, commenced discussions with Buhari in 2005.

“As proof of our willingness and sincerity, we even decided to adopt his party’s name and logo. This was when he was in ANPP. This dream never materialised,” the party chairman stated.

He also explained that it was Buhari and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar who pulled out of the National Democratic Movement, formed by opposition groups and parties at the time the ACN “pursued it with enthusiasm, dedication and great hope.”

According to the ACN, even after the collapse of the NDM, it still pursued a relationship with Buhari and his party and that the CPC always preferred an alliance to a merger which, according to Akande, “has never been an attractive option and its workability is undoubtedly problematic because of the low level of literacy of the majority of our voters, among others.”

The ACN chairman also explained that his party was glad with the turnout of the talks because it’s presidential candidate “Malam Nuhu Ribadu is very much in the image of General Buhari.”

Akande, therefore, called for both parties to continue to work together “even after the general elections.”

Speaking in the same vein, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said although he does not owe the PDP any explanation on the failed alliance with the CPC, he would explain reasons for the failure to Nigerians.

He said the main reason the alliance failed was the recalcitrance and unbending attitude of the CPC, led by  Buhari.

‘’For purely patriotic reasons and in the national interest, we made a lot of concessions to make the alliance work, but the CPC simply stuck to a take-it-or-leave-it attitude, behaving all through the talks as if it was the senior partner in the alliance.

‘’We invited Buhari to run for the presidency on the platform of our party. That means we were willing to even sacrifice our own candidate for the good of all.  But the CPC insisted that not only must the alliance field Buhari, he must run on the platform of the CPC.

‘’We thought this demand was quite unreasonable, considering the pedigree of the ACN. Yes, CPC may be a popular party but it is largely untested. On the other hand, ACN is not only popular but it is well tested. We have four governors, many Senators and House of Representatives members, huge number in Houses of Assembly and many council chairmen.

‘’Going into April’s election, we have a Plus 3 Advantage, in that three of our governors will not contest and two will remain in office till 2014!
‘’But the people in the CPC want us to not only concede the presidency, but also to lose our identity, when they bring little to the table. Of course, we rejected that demand, which will be akin to committing political suicide. It was difficult enough having to explain to our members why we are offering to sacrifice our own presidential candidate for Buhari.

‘’To even assure Buhari, who is apparently smarting from the backstabbing he suffered from his former party, ANPP, we said if and when he wins the presidency, we can go to congress and change the name, logo and other identities of the ACN to reflect the new reality brought forth by the alliance. Again the CPC refused. We were left wondering whether indeed the people in the CPC believe in their candidate and want him to become President.

‘’Well, we can tell Nigerians that we have made the biggest sacrifice by offering to bring Buhari on board at the expense of our own candidate - just to save Nigeria from the stranglehold of the PDP. The offer we made to him is a great risk. After all, he can ride on our back to become president and then defect to another party or jettison the alliance. Didn’t the governors of Zamfara, Bauchi, Abia and Imo defect to the PDP? Didn’t a sitting VP decamp to our party?

‘’We leave it to Nigerians to judge which of the parties in the alliance remained unyielding to the end, despite the compelling need to consider the overriding national interest. But we will like to assure our teeming supporters nationwide and indeed all Nigerians that our party, going it alone, will ensure that the PDP does not steal the votes of Nigerians to secure another fluke presidential mandate. The clueless party is beatable, and we will send it packing!’’ ACN said.

The law abiding citizens moved freely with nothing to worry about.The criminals are scared and the cabal made sure nothing went wrong.No butt leaking and no dick sucking either.
The progressive shall emerge victorious this time.PDP time has come to an end.The enemies of true change can not elude people any longer.12 years of waste under PDP and who ever that sucks from them.
What good is PDP and what manner of people are in PDP?what did they do with our 12 years and all the nation made in 12 years.Share the money and bribe the few goons to keep mute.

Dude, I walked into a room and saw a group of full grown men banging their heads hysterically and screaming things toddlers would be ashamed on. So, my broda, I very correctly hissed, spat and labelled the crowd an "assembly of losers." What did I do wrong?

@topic
Its quite clear that all other parties and their candidates are in it for themselves. Their stone-headed selfishness is exposing their candidacies as fraudulent and against the interest of Nigeria. How else could it be explained that two parties that were at the point of putting final ink to paper for a merger just last week, are today accusing one another of having unserious candidates. Pretty strong stuff!
Any sensible observer has to ask just what these losers were about to gang up and unleash on the country. There is a saying that God guards the tailless cow; the enemies of Nigeria's progress will continue to be confounded, paralysed and mentally scrambled and discombobulated.

@ seanet03, so gej shld knw what is in ur pot of soup because he is a president from the s.south? Think think dnt be cold blooded

I have no doubt that Buhari would make a good commander of a battalion, but a good President?
Honestly, I have my doubts. This issue with ACN is a tip in the ice bag of the man's make up and idealogy. He is an "Eze Onye agwala m" - A King that takes no advice from anybody.

I think he is politically naive, and that explains the reason IBB and his evil companions succeeded in removing him in a bloodless coup.

Which reminds me, is Buhari now a democrat? How come he and his evil disciples used the gun they were given to protect the integrity of this nation, to turn against our democratic institutions and trampled under the foot the laws of the land? Is it because no body has asked them for an explanation?

Perhaps, if he did not lead those men to eat the forbidden fruit, the likes of IBB and Abacha would never have had the opportunity to traumatise Nigeria.

Buhari cannot be trusted with our democracy. Sharia apart, the man is too arrongant for a President.

[size=18pt]Buhari is only anti - corruption leader our country has ever had[/size]

[size=18pt]Only Criminals and criminal minded souls are against Buhari and Bakare. Evil will never triumph over good. Not this time!!![/size]

My bros, where do buhari's get funds for campaign this four times, ain't he criminal as well
