[[s]quote author=blemon44 post=30161839][b]My brother, you have contested the Presidential elections 3 times in
this country and in all these times,you have never asked me or my
people at Shagari village to support your bid. It is very obvious why
you can't do that. You don't have the courage after what you did to
me. You truncated democracy with a dastardly coup and took away
power from me.You humiliated me and made me to suffer,and you
took away my opportunity to RULE Nigeria. You said you do not
want democracy in Nigeria.. The same democracy you truncated,
you are fighting hard to get with desperation and diabolical power.
You have entered into unholy alliance with some known elements of
disunity in the south but let me warn you. You will suffer hard in the
hands of Tinubu and his political merchants who will use and dump
you as they did to Nuhu. In 2011, you cried publicly when you lost
election,and you made provocative and inciting statements that
plunged this country into untoward unrest. You provoked our hot-
blooded youths with war cries which erupted into post election
violence, that brought Boko Haram into existence, over 500 innocent
Nigerians died instantly, most of them youth corpers deployed from
one of the unifying agencies of this country. Personally,I do not have
a problem with your ambition. It is your arrogance that bothers me. If
you cannot summon the courage to ask me and my family to vote
for you because you know we would not,why do you think Nigerians
would look kindly on your past record of destroying a progressing
democratic institutions painfully put in place by some respected
fathers of this nations like Awolowo and Azikiwe. No my brother. It is
time to wake up from your delusion and do the needful if you still
have some conscience. I am not writing this to you with vengeance
intention. I am a practicing Muslim and we leave matters of
vengeance to Allah. I write to you as a Nigerian,your brother and a
statesman who is deeply concerned.Quit the presidential race now
and save this country from the dangling sword of Damocles being
menacingly wield by the crooks who surround you. This elections is
not about you or President Goodluck Jonathan. It is about the unity
of Nigeria which can only be assured by being fair. By this I
mean,being fair to the people of Niger Delta. We can only do this by
either re-electing Goodluck or substitute him with any of his kinsmen
from the South-south as that can only count fair for a people who are
entitled to 8 years in the office of the President. For the elders
council in the north,we have come to the conclusion to work towards
realizing that fairness. 4 years more is not eternity. It is not too
much of a concession for us to make to move Nigeria forward as one
indivisible and united country under one God. May Allah open your
mind to see reason.God bless Nigeria~~[/b] Alhaji Shehu Shagari

ask your granfather about this

The family of former Nigerian President Shehu Shagari has refuted a story that Mr. Shagari has endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan.
In a statement released by one of the ex-president’s sons, Muhammad Bala Shagari, the family reacted to a spurious report by a pro-Jonathan newspaper that claimed that Mr. Shagari had endorsed the incumbent president and condemned Muhammadu Buhari’s candidature as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“I'd like to inform the general public and concerned citizens of this country that the speech that was credited to His Excellency Alhaji Shehu Shagari, GCFR (Turakin Sokoto) by some media agencies and online news blogs in which His Excellency was reported to have endorsed President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and commending his government for some achievements is nothing but a blatant lie. And we've condemned it in strong terms,” said the former president’s son.

He added: “It is pertinent to note that Alhaji Shehu Shagari is not a card-carrying member of any political party neither [does he] support the candidature of any politician. Alhaji Shehu Shagari was for long retired from partisan politics, he's known for his proven integrity and [reputation as a] distinguished nationalist and elder statesman who treats every Nigerian/politician equally irrespective of his/her political party, tribe, ethnicity or religion.

“Therefore Alhaji Shehu Shagari has never ever issued any press statement [or granted] audience [to] any media agency to comment on the forthcoming elections or to speak of any politician, be it president or not.

“We therefore urge the general public to regard such publication as mere fabrications and concoctions aimed to tarnish the good image of Alhaji Shehu Shagari.”
