Gmb Has Explanations To Make On These Historical Issues by nothingdou1(m): 8:50pm On Dec 09, 2014
Buhari is a pretentious anti-
corruption fighter,and has to explain to nigerians the reason for his actions on the following outlined issues. The trajectory of a man’s
journey in public life matters. For the follwoing
reasons I cannot vote for Buhari
1. He is an oligarch who does not believe in
equality before the law. The way he jailed Lateef
Jakande, Jim Nwobodo, Ambrose Ali, Pa Adekunle
Ajasin, Chief Ayo Ojewumi on cases that had no
foundation and allowed Awwal Ibrahim, the then
Niger State governor, who was arrested in
Heathrow Airport in London with 14 million pounds
sterling and several millions of Niara and dollars to
be under house arrest is my evidence. He also
allowed Shehu Kangiwa, Sokoto State Governor
who conducted and supervised the famous Bakolori
Massacre of poor peasant farmers whose land
were appropriated without compesation to remain
under house arrest.
1(a) Ayo Ojewumi became blind as a result of his
imprisonment over false charges and died shortly
after.
1 (b) Prof. Ambrose Alli also became blind as a
result of this false imprisonment. When he died, he
had only one undeveloped plot of land to his name.
1© Pa Adekule Ajasin was never the same after his
eventual release and remained sickly for the rest of
his life. Whe he died, he never had any property
anywhere in the world except the one he had built
from his sweat as long term teacher and school
principal in Owo township.
2. He put in place a retroactive law that killed
three men, innocent men in my book, by public
execution. He left untouched an alleged well known
drug baron in Ibrahim Babangida who later
overthrew his government.
3. He jailed Ndukar Irabor and Tunde Thompson of
the Guardian on stories that were factually true
under Decree 4. He had told the Nigerian
journalists then that it did not matter whether the
story reported was true or not, if his regime did
not like it, the writer would go to jail.
4. He supervised the smuggling of 53 suitcases
filled with cash througth the MMA against the
protests of General Tunde Idiagbon and ironically,
Abubakar Atiku, the then Director General of the
Customs who later became the Vice President and
a compromised politician himself. This smuggling
of the suit cases were supervised by his ADC, Col.
Mustapha Jokolo.
5. He jailed Fela Anikulapo -Kuti on trumped up
charges under emergency law which prompted the
sentencing judge to confess that he was ordered to
do so and apologised to the late musician. It was
Buhari’s administration that said it has “decided to
deal with this Fela problem once and for all.”
6. He convinced all the northern political leaders
against allowing the National Identity Card
program because according to him, this would
unravel the myth of Northern population majority
7. He is an Islamic fundamentalist, the Bin Laden
of Nigeria, who told his northern followers never to
vote for anyone who was not a muslim.
8. He is a coup plotter.
9. He has never been able to account to Nigerians
what he did with the 20 billion Naira of the
Petroleum Trust Fund of which he was the
chairman under Sani Abacha.
9(a) He has not been able to point to any project
that he prosecuted outside the Northern Nigeria
with the so-caled trust fund.
10. He was in full support of all the atrocities of
Sani Abacha against the Nigerian people. There is
no single record of his criticism of Sani Abacha
during those dark days when Nigeria was on
precipice. It shows that he is a patriot of
convenience and as such unfit to lead the country.
11. Buhari, as part of his tribalistic practices
placed President Shagari under house arrest inside
a palatia mansion in Ikoyi while he locked up
Shagari’s Vice, Alex Ekwueme in Kirikiri Prison.
Shagari is Hausa/Fulani like him while Alex
Ekwueme is an Igboman.
12. Ikemba Emeka Ojukwu, another Igboman who
returned from 13years exile just a little over a year
then was as well locked up in Kiri Kiri Prison by
meanhearted Buhari.Up till today we are not told
what was Emeka’s offence.
13. Busari Adelakun died of ulcer because Buhari
refused him to be taken out of prison for
immediate medical attention.The then Governor of
Ogun State,Bisi Onabanjo suffered similar fate
which we were told led to his untimely death.
14. Buhari ransacked the house of our late sage,
Obafemi Awolowo and confisticated his
International passport. Which civilized democratic
society would elect the likes of Buhari as
President,the same individual who overthrew an
elected President? Never!
15. Plus Buhari having Sam Mbakwe in jail, went
for one of Mbakwe’s wives. He established himself
again for what he was/is letting Mbakwe receive in
jailhouse news of the death of another of
Mbakwe’s two wives. One (I can’t remember his
name now; Odenigbo?) also died in jail.
16. Buhari’s henchman and sponsor, CPC
governorship candidate for Kano State, is
Mohammed Abacha, the same person that had/ran
a personal killing squad, co ordinated the killing of
Kudirat Abiola & attempted to kill Ibru; and also
stashed money in underground tanks, all less than
13 years ago, Nigerians have very short selective
memory. Shame!
17. Buhari discriminated against persons from
other ethnic groups/faiths; and that as PTF
Chairman, he employed an overwhelming number
of Fulani/Hausa/Moslem people at the detriment of
other groups and concentrated PTF projects in the
North. If in doubt read El Rufai’s testimony where
he wrote about Katsina boys who used the money
they made at PTF to bankroll Yar’Adua’s election
in 1999.
18. Buhari is unforgiven. When he “took over” by
coup in 1983, even remembered an article written a
very very long time ago by Bisi Onabanjo (‘The
Mallams are coming’) and a later one in which
Onabanjo wrote that people should watch out for
that “gangly officer from the north” after Buhari
gave a no holds barred speech at some Army
function where he was reported to be very openly
pro Fulani and pro Islam to the exclusive of all else
and also talked about termination of democratic
rule. For that, Onabanjo got one of the harshest
jail terms and treatments.
19. Buhari intolerance is worse than Obasanjo’s.
When he was adopted as the ANPP’s candidate on
the night of the party’s Primaries without prior
warning to the other candidates and a few of them
protested, Buhari got up and made a speech that
those people must be disciplined. I subsequently
saw him on BBC’s “hard talk” and he frightened
me and the interviewer with his archaic and
fundamentalist intolerant views. His understanding
and articulation is very much in doubt.
20. The evil genius, IBB and his crew similarly ran
rings around Buhari. On the 10th anniversary of
Abacha’s demise, Buhari said that Abacha stole
nothing from Nigeria! Despite millions of Dollars
recovered from banks around the world and the
Abacha family signing a formal agreement to return
over $1 billion dollars, Buhari still said that
Abacha’s stealing remains an unproved
allegation!!!! Why? Because Abacha set Buhari up
like an emperor and let him use oil money from the
Niger Delta to develop the North without
supervision or questions.
21. Buhari snubbed the same Nigerians he now
wants their votes by refusing to appear before
Justice Oputa Truth and Reconciliation Panel.
Despite the fact that Buhari knew how inportant
reconciliation is to the stability of democracy.
Buhari has never apologised at anytime.
22. Buhari executed Lawal Ojuolape (30), Bernard
Ogedengbe (29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26). 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. and At the time Ogedengbe committed
the crime it did not carry that punishment. If we
must live as civilised citizens we must go by the
rules. Article 11.2 of the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights reads: “No one shall be held guilty
of any penal offence on account of any act or
omission WHICH DID NOT CONSTITUTE A PENAL
OFFENCE, under national or international law at
the time when it was committed. NOR SHALL A
HEAVIER PUNISHMENT BE IMPOSED THAN THE
ONE THAT WAS APPLICABLE AT THE TIME THE
PENAL OFFENCE WAS COMMITTED. Killing people
with retroactive laws is not the civilised thing to
do – and for as long as we will have people who
refuse to see the truth only because their heroes
are inching to rule when they have not purged
themselves we will continue to wallow in misery.
If Nigerians reward dangerous, insensitive,
dishonest, mean, cruel, partial, egoistic, religious,
fundamendalist, conscienceless human being like
MOHAMMADU BUHARI with the presidency of
Nigeria with his kind of track record, then why do
we still wonder why Nigeria has not and will not
make it?
I cannot in good conscience support Buhari’s
candidacy on the above grounds. I wish we have
intelligent people who know what democracy
means. I wish we have civilized minds. However, I
am 100 percent sure that Buhari will never again
rule Nigeria.
For the good of Nigeria, vote any other candidate,
but SAY NO TO BUHARI!!!
