Pls, at what point can we talk of run off election if a winner does not emerge in the first polls in April. In Liberia, I think George Whea was leading before other contenders joined hands with Sirleaf in the run off. Is this possible in our case as things go on.

[b]The Nigerian nation

against General Buhari

By Wole SOYINKA

This intervention has been provoked, not so much by the ambitions of General Buhari to return to power at the head of a democratic Nigeria, as by declarations of support from directions that leave one totally dumbfounded. It would appear that some, myself among them, had been overcomplacent about the magnitude of an ambition that seemed as preposterous as the late effort of General Ibrahim Babangida to aspire yet again to the honour of presiding over a society that truly seeks a democratic future. What one had dismissed was a rash of illusions, brought about by other political improbabilities that surround us, however, is being given an air of plausibility by individuals and groupings to which one had earlier attributed a sense of relevance of historic actualities. Recently, I published an article in the media, invoking the possible recourse to psychiatric explanation for some of the incongruities in conduct within national leadership. Now, to tell the truth, I have begun to seriously address the issue of which section of society requires the services of a psychiatrist. The contest for a seizure of rationality is now so polarized that I am quite reconciled to the fact it could be those of us on this side, not the opposing school of thought that ought to declare ourselves candidates for a lunatic asylum. So be it. While that decision hangs in the balance however, the forum is open. Let both sides continue to address our cases to the electorate, but also prepare to submit ourselves for psychiatric examination.



The time being so close to electoral decision, we can understand the haste of some to resort to shortcuts. In the process however, we should not commit the error of opening the political space to any alternative whose curative touch to national afflictions have proven more deadly than the disease. In order to reduce the clutter in our options towards the forthcoming elections, we urge a beginning from what we do know, what we have undergone, what millions can verify, what can be sustained by evidence accessible even to the school pupil, the street hawker or a just-come visitor from outer space. Leaving Buhari aside for now, I propose a commencing exercise that should guide us along the path of elimination as we examine the existing register of would-be president. That initial exercise can be summed up in the following speculation: “If it were possible for Olusegun Obasanjo, the actual incumbent, to stand again for election, would you vote for him?”



If the answer is “yes”, then of course all discussion is at an end. If the answer is ‘No’ however, then it follows that a choice of a successor made by Obasanjo should be assessed as hovering between extremely dangerous and an outright kiss of death. The degree of acceptability of such a candidate should also be inversely proportionate to the passion with which he or she is promoted by the would-be ‘godfather’. We do not lack for open evidence about Obasanjo’s passion in this respect. From Lagos to the USA, he has taken great pains to assure the nation and the world that the anointed NPN presidential flag bearer is guaranteed, in his judgment, to carry out his policies. Such an endorsement/anointment is more than sufficient, in my view, for public acceptance or rejection. Yar’Adua’s candidature amounts to a terminal kiss from a moribund regime. Nothing against the person of this – I am informed - personable governor, but let him understand that in addition to the direct source of his emergence, the PDP, on whose platform he stands, represents the most harrowing of this nation’s nightmares over and beyond even the horrors of the Abacha regime. If he wishes to be considered on his own merit, now is time for him, as well as others similarly enmeshed, to exercise the moral courage that goes with his repudiation of that party, a dissociation from its past, and a pledge to reverse its menacing future. We shall find him an alternative platform on which to stand, and then have him present his credentials along those of other candidates engaged in forging a credible opposition alliance. Until then, let us bury this particular proposition and move on to a far graver, looming danger, personified in the history of General Buhari.



The grounds on which General Buhari is being promoted as the alternative choice are not only shaky, but pitifully naive. History matters. Records are not kept simply to assist the weakness of memory, but to operate as guides to the future. Of course, we know that human beings change. What the claims of personality change or transformation impose on us is a rigorous inspection of the evidence, not wishful speculation or behind-the-scenes assurances. Public offence, crimes against a polity, must be answered in the public space, not in caucuses of bargaining. In Buhari, we have been offered no evidence of the sheerest prospect of change. On the contrary, all evident suggests that this is one individual who remains convinced that this is one ex-ruler that the nation cannot call to order. Buhari – need one remind anyone - was one of the generals who treated a Commission of Enquiry, the Oputa Panel, with unconcealed disdain. Like Babangida and Abdusalami, he refused to put in appearance even though complaints that were tabled against him involved a career of gross abuses of power and blatant assault on the fundamental human rights of the Nigerian citizenry.



Prominent against these charges was an act that amounted to nothing less than judicial murder, the execution of a citizen under a retroactive decree. Does Decree 20 ring a bell? If not, then, perhaps the names of three youths - Lawal Ojuolape (30), Bernard Ogedengbe (29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26) do. To put it quite plainly, one of those three – Ogedengbe - was executed for a crime that did not carry a capital forfeit at the time it was committed. This was an unconscionable crime, carried out in defiance of the pleas and protests of nearly every sector of the Nigerian and international community – religious, civil rights, political, trade unions etc. Buhari and his sidekick and his partner-in-crime, Tunde Idiagbon persisted in this inhuman act for one reason and one reason only: to place Nigerians on notice that they were now under an iron, inflexible rule, under governance by fear. The execution of that youthful innocent – for so he was, since the punishment did not exist at the time of commission - was nothing short of premeditated murder, for which the perpetrators should normally stand trial upon their loss of immunity. Are we truly expected to forget this violation of our entitlement to security as provided under existing laws? And even if our sensibilities have become blunted by succeeding seasons of cruelty and brutality, if power itself had so coarsened the sensibilities also of rulers and corrupted their judgment, what should one rightly expect after they have been rescued from the snare of power” At the very least, a revaluation, leading hopefully to remorse, and its expression to a wronged society. At the very least, such a revaluation should engender reticence, silence. In the case of Buhari, it was the opposite. Since leaving office he has declared in the most categorical terms that he had no regrets over this murder and would do so again.



Human life is inviolate. The right to life is the uniquely fundamental right on which all other rights are based. The crime that General Buhari committed against the entire nation went further however, inconceivable as it might first appear. That crime is one of the most profound negations of civic being. Not content with hammering down the freedom of expression in general terms, Buhari specifically forbade all public discussion of a return to civilian, democratic rule. Let us constantly applaud our media – those battle scarred professionals did not completely knuckle down. They resorted to cartoons and oblique, elliptical references to sustain the people’s campaign for a time-table to democratic rule. Overt agitation for a democratic time table however remained rigorously suppressed – military dictatorship, and a specifically incorporated in Buhari and Idiagbon was here to stay. To deprive a people of volition in their own political direction is to turn a nation into a colony of slaves. Buhari enslaved the nation. He gloated and gloried in a master-slave relation to the millions of its inhabitants. It is astonishing to find that the same former slaves, now free of their chains, should clamour to be ruled by one who not only turned their nation into a slave plantation, but forbade them any discussion of their condition. So Tai Solarin is already forgotten? Tai who stood at street corners, fearlessly distributing leaflets that took up the gauntlet where the media had dropped it. Tai who was incarcerated by that regime and denied even the medication for his asthmatic condition? Tai did not ask to be sent for treatment overseas; all he asked was his traditional medicine that had proved so effective after years of struggle with asthma! Nor must we omit the manner of Buhari coming to power and the pattern of his ‘corrective’ rule. Shagari’s NPN had already run out of steam and was near universally detested – except of course by the handful that still benefited from that regime of profligacy and rabid fascism. Responsibility for the national condition lay squarely at the door of the ruling party, obviously, but against whom was Buhari’s coup staged? Judging by the conduct of that regime, it was not against Shagari’s government but against the opposition. The head of government, on whom primary responsibility lay, was Shehu Shagari. Yet that individual was kept in cozy house detention in Ikoyi while his powerless deputy, Alex Ekwueme, was locked up in Kiri-kiri prisons. Such was the Buhari notion of equitable apportionment of guilt and/or responsibility.



And then the cascade of escapes of the wanted, and culpable politicians. Manhunts across the length and breadth of the nation, roadblocks everywhere and borders tight as steel zip locks. Lo and behold, the chairman of the party, Chief Akinloye, strolled out coolly across the border. Richard Akinjide, Legal Protector of the ruling party, slipped out with equal ease. The Rice Minister, Umaru Dikko, who declared that Nigerians were yet to eat from dustbins - escaped through the same airtight dragnet. The clumsy attempt to crate him home was punishment for his ingratitude, since he went berserk when, after waiting in vain, he concluded that the coup had not been staged, after all, for the immediate consolidation of the party of extreme right-wing vultures, but for the military hyenas. The case of the overbearing Secretary-General of the party, Uba Ahmed, was even more noxious. Uba Ahmed was out of the country at the time. Despite the closure of the Nigerian airspace, he compelled the pilot of his plane to demand special landing permission, since his passenger load included the almighty Uba Ahmed. Of course, he had not known of the change in his status since he was airborne. The delighted airport commandant, realizing that he had a much valued fish swimming willingly into a waiting net, approved the request. Uba Ahmed disembarked into the arms of a military guard and was promptly clamped in detention. Incredibly, he vanished a few days after and reappeared in safety overseas. Those whose memories have become calcified should explore the media coverage of that saga. Buhari was asked to explain the vanished act of this much prized quarry and his response was one of the most arrogant levity. Coming from one who had shot his way into power on the slogan of ‘dis’pline’, it was nothing short of impudent.



Shall we revisit the tragicomic series of trials that landed several politicians several lifetimes in prison? Recall, if you please, the ‘judicial’ processes undergone by the septuagenarian Chief Adekunle Ajasin. He was arraigned and tried before Buhari’s punitive tribunal but acquitted. Dissatisfied, Buhari ordered his re-trial. Again, the Tribunal could not find this man guilty of a single crime, so once again he was returned for trial, only to be acquitted of all charges of corruption or abuse of office. Was Chief Ajasin thereby released? No! He was ordered detained indefinitely, simply for the crime of winning an election and refusing to knuckle under Shagari’s reign of terror. The conduct of the Buhari regime after his coup was not merely one of double, triple, multiple standards but a cynical travesty of justice. Audu Ogbeh, currently chairman of the Action Congress was one of the few figures of rectitude within the NPN. Just as he has done in recent times with the PDP, he played the role of an internal critic and reformer, warning, dissenting, and setting an example of probity within his ministry. For that crime he spent months in unjust incarceration. Guilty by association? Well, if that was the motivating yardstick of the administration of the Buhari justice, then it was most selectively applied. The utmost severity of the Buhari-Idiagbon justice was especially reserved either for the opposition in general, or for those within the ruling party who had showed the sheerest sense ofresponsibility and patriotism. Shall I remind this nation of Buhari’s deliberate humiliating treatment of the Emir of Kano and the Oni of Ife over their visit to the state of Israel? I hold no brief for traditional rulers and their relationship with governments, but insist on regarding them as entitled to all the rights, privileges and responsibilities of any Nigerian citizen. This royal duo went to Israel on their private steam and private business. Simply because the Buhari regime was pursuing some antagonistic foreign policy towards Israel, a policy of which these traditional rulers were not a part, they were subjected on their return to a treatment that could only be described as a head masterly chastisement of errant pupils. Since when, may one ask, did a free citizen of the Nigerian nation require the permission of a head of state to visit a foreign nation that was willing to offer that tourist a visa.?



One is only too aware that some Nigerians love to point to Buhari’s agenda of discipline as the shining jewel in his scrap-iron crown. To inculcate discipline however, one must lead by example, obeying laws set down as guides to public probity. Example speaks louder than declarations, and rulers cannot exempt themselves from the disciplinary strictures imposed on the overall polity, especially on any issue that seeks to establish a policy for public well-being. The story of the thirty something suitcases – it would appear that they were even closer to fifty - found unavoidable mention in my recent memoirs, YOU MUST SET FORTH AT DOWN, written long before Buhari became spoken of as a credible candidate. For the exercise of a changeover of the national currency, the Nigerian borders – air, sea and land – had been shut tight. Nothing was supposed to move in or out, not even cattle egrets. Yet a prominent camel was allowed through that needle’s eye. Not only did Buhari dispatch his aide-de-camp, Jokolo – later to become an emir - to facilitate the entry of those cases, he ordered the redeployment – as I later discovered - of the Customs Officer who stood firmly against the entry of the contravening baggage. That officer, the incumbent Vice-president is now a rival candidate to Buhari, but has somehow, in the meantime, earned a reputation that totally contradicts his conduct at the time. Wherever the truth lies, it does not redound to the credibility of the dictator of that time, General Buhari whose word was law, but whose allegiances were clearly negotiated.


I beg read the mail above. GEJ all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/b]

The people should not make mistake, don't be given to change suddenly like that! As for me I will stick with GEJ

The red colour is blinding
BTW that article was posted in another Buhari thread.

Omooba77:

GEJ will have an easy win, you can hear the Oba of Lagos yesterday in Lagos. People have spoken, don't allow Buhari to decieve you with all those gimmicks. Husa people too know too well what Buhari can do, he is not a leader but a ruler. He doesn't have listening ability. GEJ will win at least 25% of votes in nothing less than 26 states!

He has already decided that he will remove immunity clause forgetting that he will be an executive not a legislator.
It is good to fight corruption but in a country where the judiciary is rubbished and court injunctions can be given for the most frivolous reasons, removing the immunity clause will actually ground the country to halt. I hope he will have a remedy for the problems it will create. He should be ready to reform the judiciary as well.

buhari would have been promoted over his competence if he becomes president leaving nigeria worse off and tunde bakare ,with due respect to him will learn a lesson he ought to have learnt,the kindgom of jesus is not of this world and therefore jesus may not even allow him to win if jesus loves him.definitely a vote for bakare and buhari is a waste.

There is nothing wrong in him contesting if that is what needed for this country be good. David was a man of God and still a ruler.
Joseph was a man of God and still a ruler. people are ordained for different reasons. Do not misquote the bible please .

We have just 5 weeks to the elections and I can't see any sign of Buhari campaigning anywhere in Nigeria . He hasn't visited any states in the south or middle belt. No rallies whatsoever. Does he think everybody reads newspapers or have internet connection?? Ruralites which constitute the real voters in Nigeria have never heard about CPC. How are they going to give him votes. How is the farmer in Isale Egan, Arochukwu or Gbaramatu going to vote a Buhari he has has never heard about? Jonathan on the other hand is travelling everywhere despite the fact that he has the required visibility already.

this shows his very low regard for the easterners. this man is a ruler not a leader and also a northerner not a Nigerian because he doesn't think of Nigeria as a whole.

@OP

very nice analysis.

point of correction, in today's world we have leaders not rulers as well as presidents not Kings

So in your own sensible way, we have leaders right? please point to one leader that has truly come out from pdp's rule since in inception of democracy.

Have you been under the rock for sometime? please tell me why GEJ will not fit into that category since you r so sensible in reverse.

It seems you don't know what leadership means.

Define a leader, then picture GEJ in your definition, does it match? be sincere to your own self o.

Good point. who is GEJ to claim supremacy of luck over 15o Million Nigerians! it is wat we had blown dat d trumpet is sounding. come on. we trumpeted GEJ wen it was expedient to put d YarAdua forces in check. Now we speak as Nigerians, in our most objective sense, we detest a GEJ dat is contented wit an ex-convict in its campaign trail. dis is not a dogma pls and we reserve a right to be rationale, objective and pragmatic. dat we stood for a GEJ ascendancy to d office of presidency is not loyalty to d persons of GEJ but to righteousness and justice in our fatherland. Nothing more. If u PDP fanatics dont av a sense of propriety for dis nation, we d true progressive do and u cannot brand us as senseless. We remain in our right senses and r commited to justice, forthrightness and d true rule of law. tell us y we shd vote for GEJ and buy our conscience with truth or shut up for once and for ever! whether u enlist a WS in ur camp or not

In as much as i rather prefer to just read and hate to involve in matters on Nairaland due to very impolite and insulting way nairalanders we regard as elite address and abuse themselves over matters because of their different opinion, I will like to add to this one.

I firstly applaud the poster for a job well done, but i will like to attract the attention of the poster and people with similar opinions to some facts.

1. Result of the voters registration.
Someone said a bulk of the voters are in the rural area without access to dailies and internet. Voters registration has Lagos with over 5million voters followed by Kano and some other big states. This states are not GEJ favoured state. if you can capture Lagos, Kano, Oyo and a few more states with large volume of voters, you may be on you way to victory. so the bulk of the voters this time around are in the urban areas.

2. Jos crisis.
The jos crisis has just simply shown GEJ's incapacity. An ex-military or a security conscious leader will know that Plateau state demands a state of emergency. GEJ is probably not conscious of what to do or lacks understanding.

3. Charisma. GEJ and his first lady lack it all. GEJ's interview on CNN with Aisha Sasey and some other media made him lose my vote after several months of my support for him. His wife's open and public poor English use is also not helping matters.

4. Buhari may not win outrightly but will pull down PDP down than they expect. If GEJ would win this election, it will be very slim and Buhari's effort will make win the next election. GEJ would be the last PDP presidents if he wins.

Omooba77:

It is good that everyone knows Buhari is not a Nigerian, but a northerner, that is why IBB and Guasua want to join with him. A vote for Buhari is to legitimise Northerner ideal. This is what must people don't know, but GEJ/Sambo is the ideal Nigeria dream!!!!!!!!!

We've heard that line b4. Try something new. I thought the same IBB Jonathan's Father.

Minna, here we come. I will satisfy my conscious by voting for the truth. BB2011 or nothing else.

A state of emergency the type that was declared in Odi or Zaki Ibiam. So you now mean that ex-military men are better governors? In order part of the world, ex-military men find it difficult to get job in the society because they are deemed not fit for civilian life.
GEJ has the military under him and the directorate of military intelligence has a job to do. He had one of the best intelligence chiefs the country have had in Gusau under him. He will only act on what comes to his table. Ad what do you expect him to do if the people on ground decide to feed him lies while letting things get out of hand due to partisan interest?

Is this the first time we are having problems in the North? What about  the massacres of the 90's in Kaduna, Kano and other Northern states. we had military head of states then. Why was their no state of emergency. Kaduna and Kano were twin evils and eruptions in one resonated in the other. No GEJ has handled the Jos crisis very well when you remember that those crisis are artificial and politically motivated.

GEJ is not an Obama in English and neither is BB even Ribadu was a mess when he appeared before a congress committee where he could not even string an explanation together.

@Danjohn

Nice analysis. I feel a complete thread should have been opened for this anyway.

I however noted the following which you somehow did not factor into your analysis

1. In kano you seem to be ignoring the shekarau effect. He will have a good showing here and most of his supporters are those that would have voted for BB . This alone would change the predictions in the first run.

2. You have given too much votes to BB and Ribadu in the SS and SE. i tell you these areas will be cleanly swept by GEJ.

3. Using the 2003 Buhari performance may not be correct becuase you seem not to have considered the deficit structure of CPC in a National election. ANPP was a much bigger,better structured party and that affected the final polls.

ALL seven reasons given are the exact reasons Buhari's CPC lost on saturday and would be given a final death blow come April 16th!!!

The man I now pity is Bakare. As someone rightly pointed, he is being traded like a commodity in the murky market called politricks!! So much for a man with dignity!!


[size=16pt]VOTE JONATHAN FOR IMMENSE PROGRESS, EQUAL ACCESS AND EXCESS SUCCESS [/size]

7 perfect reasons that manifested in April 9th elections. Am waiting to celebrate the final blow on April 16th.

To be frank, the people I actually pity are BB supporters. They are so blinded by their love for BB that refuse to see the reality of things on ground.
They play politics with bitterness and thereby bite the finger that is suppose to feed them.

Come saturday 16th, nairaland politics section will once more be purified, cos all the arrogant and insultive BB supporters that have hijacked the forum will go into hiding.

My Laugh comes last

Vote wisely. GEJ remains the best choice.!!!

Goodluck to win 2011 election! The oracle has spoken.

The best man doesnt always win, true. But we shall raise our heads high cos we know damn well we tried with all we've got to make the best man win. We would keep our fingers crossed and hope we were not right about Jonathan because it is not about being right or wrong ultimately it is about Nigeria.

GEJ has handled the jos crisis very well. Firstly you need to understand what the constitution if a state of emergency is declared. If a state of emergency is declared the sitting governor is assisted by the millitary to maintain peace. When OBJ imposed the millitary in jos and removed Dariye recall the courts proved Dariye right and he was returned to power. OBJ broke the law but in our usual fashion we forget easily and want Jonathan to do same.

The crisis happened because the minority hausa fulani demanded for an Emir for their small community and Governor Jang refused cos Jos is largely a xtian dominated state. Emir translates to government funds for him and his family and staff and other far reaching implication. Also the Emir becomes an authority in his community and gradually in the state naturally this was unacceptable to the birom and other ethnic groups in the state. Because of Gov Jang"s refusal they the hausa fulani initiated the crisis so that a state of emergency could be declared. This is where GEJ refused to play into their hands.

Lmao. Not one of those to talk about the north while knowing next to nothing about it. Darling, I grew up in jos, i am jos. I'll be in jos in some months too. Family and friends are there giving us updates as they come in. We pray for the safety of the people of jos and for a non-bias government to one day lead Plateau.

^^ i also live in the north. for someone who lives" is jos". you seem to know next to little about it. This is why PDP will be carrying the day in jos come presidential and subsequent elections.

^^ And how would you know if i know next to little about it. And I do not lives 'is jos' i grew up in jos.
And just how does your premise leads to that conclusion. Because someone somewhere who according to u knows nxt to little about jos then PDP will win?
