A Buhari Presidency Would Ridicule Nigeria –duke by Gmajor(m): 1:28pm On Jan 08, 2015 |
Ugochukwu Onyeocha and Adesola Akindele With the general election coming up in less than 55 days, what’s your take on General Buhari and his chances against President Jonathan at the polls? APC has no agenda and where there is no agenda, you tend to pick on personality. The quality of the person and personality of Jonathan is a mile or miles ahead of the quality of the person of General Buhari. First and foremost, Nigeria is a 100 years old and some people are talking of bringing someone is who is officially about 73 years old. Secondly, we are in a world where Nigeria and its leadership is in the forefront of Africa as well as commanding the respect and attention of the whole world and you are talking about a general who not only ruled for a few months, he is limited in his administrative capacity, limited in his education and does not know many people around the world like an Obasanjo would do. Furthermore, this is the age of technology and you are bringing a man who is technically out of tune to rule a country that is surging far ahead. Somebody who in his previous capacity as a military head of state actually sacked a democratically elected administration regardless of what weaknesses they might have had. A Buhari presidency would only ridicule Nigeria before the rest of the world. To see that a Nigeria that hopes to lead the emerging tigers would now be led by a man who is still looking for his certificate is unimaginable. It is understood that because General Buhari had millions of followers in 2011, he is in terms of number valuable to the APC but in terms of quality of leadership for a country of Nigeria’s status, there is nothing in that platform. What about his running mate? I tell you something, Prof Osibanjo, a brilliant lawyer (he was a schoolmate of mine in Unilag) but I tell u that to lead Nigeria, with its myriad of problems and challenges, you need more than the origin of your marriage and your religious association. His religious calling and marital association is not enough to help him lead Nigeria. Osibanjo is a non-starter because the politics of governance is not the politics of religion. If it is the association of his marriage that is going to help him to take Nigeria to where we are hoping for, then I can boldly say that Osibanjo is a non-start er. We are not playing the politics of religion here. We might as well say that how come a member of Christ Embassy or Winners, Anglican or Catholic was not found worthy to be nominated for the position? But you see Buhari is smart. He knows he is going to lose the presidential elections and he is going to live in the courts and neither Atiku nor Tinubu will not pay his legal fees. So he needs a brilliant lawyer who would be for free and who is going to chase his mandate in the court for free hence the selection of Osibanjo. Sir, what’s your assessment to the increasing influence of the APC? We are talking about an APC that is fueled and strengthened by people who moved out of PDP and there is nobody who moved out of APC who was not given a ticket that he wished for in APC. There was no rancour in APC because there was no quality in APC prior the movement of people from outside PDP unlike in the PDP. There is rancour in the PDP because of the enormous goodwill and capacity that the party carries unlike the APC that is an individual property. The rancour in the PDP is fueled by faith. Faith in the sense that the aspirant know that this is the party that will win. They know that. So the struggle is harder here because the faith of the aspirant in this great knowing that once they can get nominated, their electoral victory is guaranteed. Also, if Nigerians go back and read about the background of the general and of course the recent one in which he said that the dog and the baboon would swim in blood. It’s scary because what they are trying to say by touting that the dog and the baboon would swim in blood and Governor Amaechi saying that they would set up a parallel government is that this party’s agenda is the dis integration of Nigeria and that is very worrisome. Do you know for the past three and half years, hardly do APC governors attend the Council of State meetings but at the end of the month, they send their accountant general to collect money from federation account but the statutory meetings where they are members and are expected to make contributions that would aid in the development of the country, a meeting where they are expected to bring varied views that would help strengthen our democracy and improve governance, they don’t come. And ultimately, God does not handover to you what you do not appreciate and respect. It is a natural law. If you don’t value the Presidency or respect, you don’t regard it but rather abuse and bastardise it, God would not hand it over to you because you can’t custody it. 2 Likes 1 Share |

The jonathan presidency has already ridiculed Nigeria in the international community. The disgrace that Nigeria was subjected to worldwide after the kidnap of chibok girls is unprecedented. Buhari may not be perfect but we are ready to risk him this time around. 1 Like |
