Are Nigerians Being Fair To Buhari? by remmyz(m): 10:04am On Jun 06, 2013
Don't be a fool by allowing yourself to be deceived. Take
time to read this.)
I weep every day, when Nigerians swallow orchestrated
lies and use same to justify those who have plundered
them with poverty, hunger, darkness, insecurity, death,
unemployment and looting. A lot of Nigerians have been
sold the dummy that General Buhari has never condemned
Boko harram and recently that Buhari is shielding and
protecting Boko harram to the extent of calling for his
arrest. Nigerians do not try to find out the truth about
what they are being told and why they are being told so.
In the History of Boko harram and bombing, General
Buhari is the only Nigerian that has gotten the boldness
to condemn Boko harram in the strongest term. Below are
his words and the links.
Former Head of State Muhammadu Buhari was among
eminent Nigerians and institutions who have condemned
the Christmas Day church blasts in several states of
northern Nigeria.
In his response, General Buhari said, "Bombing other
human beings to death at any time is callous. It becomes
much more reprehensible on a Christmas day and all
lovers of peace must condemn these gruesome acts and
demand that the perpetrators be fished out and brought
to book."
The bombings took place at the St. Theresa’s Catholic
Church, Madalla, Niger State; Jos, Plateau State; and
Damaturu, Yobe State.

Former Head of State and Presidential Candidate of
Congress for Progressive Change, Major-General
Muhammadu Buhari has condemned Friday bomb attacks
at the United Nations building in Abuja in which many
lives were lost and several others wounded. He described
the horrendous attack as heart rending devastation and a
great challenge to the emotion. Gen Buhari sends
condolences to the United Nations, the mourning people
of Nigeria and the grief-stricken families who have lost
beloved ones in this unfortunate incident: "It is my prayer
that the Almighty will comfort all the bereaved and bring
speedy recovery to all the wounded" he said.
Gen Buhari however frowned at the lazy official response
that has accompanied serial challenges to security in the
country.
"There has yet to be any coordinated response by the
security forces in the country. It is unprofessional and
incompetent for our security agencies to surrender to this
omnibus Boko Haram as the only clue to every security
challenge."
He said such portends serious danger to the country:
"What that means that even foreign interest can enter
Nigeria today and wreck havoc and issue a statement in
the name of Boko Haram and we will bury our dead and
life continues".
He called on those in charge of the country to seriously
address all the social problems confronting the country
and show focused leadership which is lacking at the
moment.

nigeria&catid=3%3Anewsflash&Itemid=44
these are just two among many times that general Buhari
has condemned Boko harram and their killings. The truth
is that this government hides many of these statements
by Buhari from the public but always orchestrates and
misinterprets every word that Buhari says to the public to
make the Nigerian public hate Buhari since Buhari is the
only prominent resistance and has been the only
consistent opposition to PDP since 1999.
Also, just yesterday, Buhari made a statement and i
quote.
1. "Muhammadu Buhari (retd), has frowned on the
emergency rule in parts of the North. He alleged that
innocent civilians were being killed in the states.".
2. "“Every Nigerian that is familiar with happenings knows
this. The Niger Delta militants started it all. What
happened is that the governors of the Niger Delta at that
time wanted to win their elections, so they recruited
youths and gave guns and bullets to them to use against
their opponents to win elections by force.“After the
elections, they asked the boys to return the guns, and the
boys refused to do so. Because of that the allowance that
was being given to them by the governors was stopped"
Let us analyze the 1st. The UN and other human right
agencies in Nigeria and abroad have found out that
innocent people have been killed in the hunt for Boko
harram and the US gave Nigeria and the military a
warning. President Jonathan himself have on various
occasions agreed that the military has killed innocent
people in their attack on boko harram and if i may ask you
that is reading, do you doubt that some innocent people
have been killed in the North.
Number 2. The statement Buhari made about the Niger
Delta Militants did not originate from him. It was
Jonathan and other governorship aspirants from Bayelsa,
Delta and some other Niger delta states that made the
allegation before now and Buhari only quoted what they
said.
When MEND bombed in Abuja on October 1st, President
Goodluck Jonathan spoke in their defense and it later
turned to be that MEND was confirmed to be the actual
bombers, yet Nigerians did not accuse Jonathan of being
the leader of MEND. Are Nigerians being fair to Buhari?
Is it that Nigerians have intentionally allowed themselves
to be deceived?
Have you ever wondered why the PDP government since
1999 has seen Buhari as a threat and have continuously
attacked him and tried to make him to be hated by some
Nigerians?
