Presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) in the April general elections, General Muhammadu Buhari, has said that Governor Babangida Aliyu of Niger State is unfit to hold a responsible office in Nigeria.
Governor Aliyu had lashed out at the former head of state twice last week, reminding him and his supporters that Nigeria was not their village.

“I am emphasising this fact because of what happened after the presidential election. Many of us are so myopic that we think our village is Nigeria. No, we’re a part and never can a part be a whole. Your village is not Nigeria. Your village is a part of Nigeria. So, if somebody wins or loses election in your village, that does not mean he has lost election in the country,” Aliyu said at the celebration of the 2011 Workers’ Day in Minna.

Speaking through his spokesman, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, Buhari said, “Governor Babangida Aliyu, in his recent comment on General Buhari, has been highly disrespectful and uncouth. His language to General Buhari has been very rude and he has portrayed himself as uncultured and somebody that is not fit to hold a responsible office.”

Buhari further said, “if he cannot cultivate descent language of talking to somebody who is his elder and who is his senior in every respect, the fact of reckless comment that he has been making has portrayed him as somebody that is ill-mannered and quite uncivilised as a person holding responsible office in Nigeria.”

finaly Aliyu Babangida is right. Buhari response is just cultural bcuz in hausa/fulani culture the younger stands no chance to correct the elder nor find him fault and that is the road he wish Aliyu should take in a national affair.

you see buhari as we can see is a village man that need to wakeup. this is why when ever a northerner is destroying this nation none of then will speakup. shame to the oldman buhari.

Buhari/CPC, any news from that pair and it makes headlines on the papers and also in Nairaland. Keep up the goodwork guys, ur giving them much more airtime and fame than our Presido/PDP

So this is how he would have treated critics if he was elected, dismissing them as uncultured and disrespectful to Elder Buhari

Gov. Aliyu dey shook this one word about im mess-up, im dey talk about disrespect of elders.

'Wild wild North', 'Lynch dem opponents 'riggers', 'Take kerosene and matches to polling booths'  -  These are utterences of those who are fit to occupy responsible government positions!

Buhari should just shut the hell up & go sit in his small house in the village. Look at how many people were gruesomely killed all cos of his take no prisoners approach to the election, the fo.ol is not even remorseful.

Elder my foot!

Governor Babangida Aliyu is always like that. He always say his mind out.
