Ahead of next month’s elections, a groundswell of opposition from Nigerians in the Diaspora is being mounted against the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the February 14 presidential election, Muhammadu Buhari,

The opposition against the former military ruler is being championed by the United States chapter of the Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation (NIDO), the flagship association of Nigerians living abroad.

Speaking at a press conference held at the Hilton Garden, Washington DC, Victor Ugho, the immediate past Vice-President of NIDO, who is the current President of the Georgia State chapter of the association with headquarters in Atlanta, urged the former Head of State to perish the thought of becoming the next president of the country, saying that the world has moved past the like of Buhari.

Ugho expressed regrets that Buhari has allowed himself to be pushed around by some people whom, he said, were looking for ways to cause more pains to Nigeria.

He faulted the move by Buhari to seek the presidency as a civilian president, noting that Buhari, as a military Head of State, had ample opportunity to turn the country around.

“As a matter of sincerity, I do not think Buhari is the best candidate for Nigeria at this period in time. He was there as Head of State, what did he do?

“Again, he has not told us what he is going to do differently. We need continuity; the choice should not be based on tribal sentiment. “Let him tell us how he is going to fix the so-called terrible situation he has identified. We need somebody who will not bring disunity.”

Also speaking, the Public Relations Officer of NIDO, Ndubusi George, called on Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora to think wisely and vote for the right candidate in next month’s presidential election.

According to him, “the devil we know is better than the angel we do not know.

“What we need now in the country is for all of us to unite and support President Jonathan who has been tested and trusted to lead the country for another four years.

“It is a fact that you should not expect something that had been damaged for years to be fixed overnight; it requires patience and perseverance to achieve this.”

In the same vein, the Diaspora Campaign Network (DCN) described the presidential aspiration of Buhari as laughable.

National Coordinator of the organisation, Franklin Ekechukwu, said Nigerians could not afford to return the management of the nation’s economy to a vestige of the military era during which time the nation’s economy was damaged.

He said: “Nigeria has made a big stride in the right direction since Jonathan became the president. Nigerians need to exercise patience to allow his policies to manifest.

“It is laughable when somebody who was a retired military dictator suddenly becomes a father of democratic norms, whereas, when as a ruler, he dismissed the constitution and ruled by decree.

“No, Nigeria cannot go back to the old days where anything goes without proper planning.”

On his part, the Secretary General of the Alliance of Nigerians in the Diaspora (ANID), Uche Thomas, said that Buhari’s opinions about democracy is shaped by his military background.

“His understanding of the President’s role in a democracy is shaped by his career and experience as a military dictator; hence, his promptness in declaring his intention to probe and throw Nigerians into jail.”

Buhari is coming to reset Nigeria and restore sanity. You are free to go into exile from FeBuhari 15.

it is finished for buhari.

If the government they want us to vote for was excellent they wouldn't be in the diaspora. The place wey dem ecape because of the problems wey dey there, dem wan make e remain like that. Bunch of selfish retards.

Not surprised atall.......looking at the names quoted as sources and reps of NIDO, emeka, ugo, etc......one will easily notice the hatred ppl with dos names have against the general. They are notin but hypcrites, if the country is well governed why will dey be on exile?
