How To Lose The Presidential Election Four Times Part 2--femi Aribisala. by Titilayodeji13(m): 6:49pm On Jan 31, 2015
Get gullible South-West journalists, like
Dele Shobowale, to attack and malign
anyone who dares to remind Nigerians
about the missing $2.8 billion skeleton in
your political wardrobe.
APC presidential candidate Muhammadu
Buhari’s blueprint for being a serial loser
of presidential elections in Nigeria
continues as follows:
Be an uneducated presidential candidate
Get your APC supporters to deride
Goodluck Jonathan as “clueless,” but to
complain when PDP National Secretary,
Wale Oladipo, calls you “a semi-literate
jackboot.”
Run against Goodluck Jonathan, the most
highly-educated president in the history of
Nigeria, who has a B.Sc. in Zoology; an
M.Sc. in Hydro-biology and Fisheries
Biology; and a Ph.D. in Zoology from the
University of Port Harcourt; while you, on
the other hand, did not even go to
university but only as far as Katsina
Provisional Secondary School.
Be one of the few senior military officers
in the history of the Nigeria to fail the
Command and Staff College exams as well
as the senior military examinations. While
your senior military colleagues, such as
Ibrahim Babangida, Tunde Idiagbon,
Theophilus Danjuma, Augustus Aikhomu
and Abdulsalami Abubakar have military
suffixes after their names, such as FSS;
Psc; or MNI; have none after yours.
Have no policy program
Have no idea whatsoever of what you
would do as president. Mouth anti-
corruption platitudes without telling
Nigerians how you propose to fight
corruption. Fail to appreciate that the
president of a democratic government
does not have the dictatorial powers you
exhibited unscrupulously as military head
of state.
Refuse to appear in a public debate with
President Obasanjo during the 2003
presidential election for fear of being
disgraced. Be ridiculed by another
invitation to debate Goodluck Jonathan
today because the PDP is confident you
will not be up to the task.
Claim: “no right-thinking Nigerian will
vote for Jonathan” but show zero
understanding of public policy. When
asked in an interview on Channels
Television how you would grow the
Nigerian economy, give the ludicrous
response that you would unilaterally
stabilize dwindling oil prices; something
even OPEC cannot do now.
When Jide Ajani asks you: “Looking at
the economy today, what are those things
you would point at that are fundamental
to making the economy prosperous?”
Reply, showing your acute ignorance, by
saying: “I am not an economist but with
my experience, it is about the indiscipline
and lack of probity of the PDP
government.”
When he tries to get you to be more
forthcoming by asking: “You have spoken
in general terms but were you to make a
presentation to the business community,
what are those things you would be telling
them about your economic agenda – in
specific terms?” Reply in the most
vacuous nonsensical manner possible:
“Firstly, let us secure our country. It
means anything that comes to this country
should be secure, but with people being
kidnapped, armed robbery, bombings here
and there, bad roads, fraudulent practices,
nobody would come in and invest.”
When he still tries to get some substance
from you by insisting: “What solutions
would you proffer?” Show you have no
idea whatsoever by replying: “It is not
about telling them what to do which I
have as plans but we have to understand
how the problem developed? The ruling
party must first accept responsibility for
the failure of the nation before we can
begin to talk about solutions.”
Be known for nonsensical policies
As military head of state, treat Nigerians
as school-children through an infantile
“War Against Indiscipline.” Force them to
queue at bus-stops under the watchful
eyes of soldiers wielding whips with
orders to flog publicly those deemed
unruly. Make civil-servants who come late
to work do humiliating frog-jumps.
Confuse this charade as cogent public
policy.
Be the pioneer of kidnapping in Nigeria by
seizing, drugging and crating Umaru
Dikko in London, in the failed attempt to
ship him forcibly back home. Make a
monkey of the Nigerian judicial system by
imposing ridiculous 200-year prison
sentences on politicians. Put a corrupt
president under house arrest, but jail
students for 24 years for cheating at
exams.
Publicly chastise and humiliate the Ooni
of Ife and the Emir of Kano, like a
headmaster would his errant school-
children, because they went on a private
business trip to Israel. Even though
Nigerians did not need government
permission to visit Israel, seize their
passports and place them under travel-
bans.
Revert to the ancient stone-age policy of
trade by barter referred to as counter-
trading. Use it to camouflage the
siphoning of Nigeria’s resources abroad to
Brazil. Violate ECOWAS protocols by
instituting a “Ghana-Must-Go” policy that
sought to expel Ghanaians from Nigeria.
Impose austerity measures that create
widespread job-losses and business
closures and lowered the living-standards
of Nigerians.
Be involved in $2.8 billion scandal
Claim you are anti-corruption, but under
your watch as federal commissioner for
petroleum resources, it was discovered
that $2.8 billion of Nigeria’s oil money
was withdrawn from the NNPC account in
London’s Midland Bank and fraudulently
deposited in a private BCCI (Bank of
Credit and Commerce International)
London account where it generated
interest amounting to 419 million pounds
for private pockets.
BCCI, described by Time Magazine as “the
dirtiest bank of all,” turned out to be a
rogue bank of international drug-barons
and money-launderers owned by a
notorious Pakistani; Agha Hassan Abedi.
The bank finally collapsed in 1991 after
British and American regulators
discovered it was involved in widespread
money-laundering deals.
The Shagari administration instituted a
probe panel, headed by Justice Ayo
Irikefe, to get to the bottom of the $2.8
billion scandal. The Senate also instituted
its own investigations, headed by majority
leader, Olusola Saraki. The Saraki
committee’s report was presented to the
Senate at the tail-end of the Shagari
administration’s first term, with the
resolve to address the matter after the
1983 election.
Conduct a coup d’état overthrowing the
civilian government before the report
could be made public. Bury the Irikefe
Report, ensuring that it has never been
made public. Intimidate the press into
silence by promulgating the infamous
Decree 2 which stifled press freedom and
threatened prosecution of even those who
tell the truth, as long as it is not palatable
to you. Send politicians indiscriminately
to jail on corruption charges as a way of
diverting attention from your own
corruption scandal.
Remove the Chief Justice of the
Federation and replace him with Justice
Ayo Irikefe, the man who headed the
probe panel whose report you buried.
Also appoint Chike Ofodile, the secretary
of the probe panel whose report you
buried, as your attorney-general.
Fail to see the hypocrisy in your insistence
that the probe report today on NNPC
accounts must be published. You say: “In
the spirit of the War Against Corruption,
we demand the release of the Audit
Report of the missing $20billion.” But you
buried the Irikefe Report on the missing
$2.8 billion. Lai Mohammed, APC
publicity secretary, says: “Nigerians will
continue to demand that the audit report
be made public, in the interest of
transparency. The issue will not be swept
under the carpet.”
However, you, the APC presidential
candidate, rejected transparency by
refusing to appear before the Justice
Oputa “Truth and Reconciliation Panel” to
defend your battered anti-corruption
pretensions, suggesting thereby that you
have something to hide. Instead, get
gullible South-West journalists, like Dele
Shobowale, to attack and malign anyone
who dares to remind Nigerians about the
missing $2.8 billion skeleton in your
political wardrobe. Foolishly believe such
scurrilous attacks on your critics would
make the matter go away.
When Vera Ifudu, an NTA reporter,
revealed to Nigerians that Senate Leader,
Saraki, told her in an interview that the
missing $2.8 billion was moved from the
NNPC’s Midland Bank account to a private
account; get NTA to dismiss her.
However, she sued NTA, won the case,
and was awarded financial compensation
for wrongful dismissal.
Be an anti-corruption hypocrite
Deceive Nigerians into believing you are a
poor man, in spite of the fact that you earn
the fat and generous pension of a former
head of state from the federal
government.
Proclaim yourself an anti-corruption
champion but fail to prosecute Alhaji
Abubakar Alhaji, a Fulani Prince of the
Sokoto Caliphate and ex-Permanent
Secretary, federal Ministry of Finance,
who lost thousands of pounds of his
personal money in a London taxi while on
official trip in London; even though
Nigerian civil-servants are prohibited
from maintaining foreign accounts. Simply
post him from the Ministry of Finance to
the Ministry of National Planning. Then
crown it by appointing him a board-
member of the NNPC.
Claim you are against corruption, but
surround yourself with corrupt politicians
and enter into coalition with corrupt
politicians in the APC. Have as one of
your key allies, a man who has dubiously
appropriated choice land properties in
Lagos State, including a local government
secretariat.
As military head of state, have a palatial
guest-house built in your home-town of
Daura. Jail Bisi Akande on corruption
charges, and later have him as interim
chairman of your so-called anti-
corruption APC. Claim your party is anti-
corruption; however, the APC minority
leader in the House of Representatives,
Femi Gbajabiamila, was convicted for
professional misconduct by the Supreme
Court of Georgia, U.S.A. in 2006 for
defrauding a client of $25,000.
Accuse the PDP of being corrupt, but
welcome with open-arms as many PDP
members as possible. Accept into your
party, men like Murtala Nyako, who was
then impeached as governor of Adamawa
State on corruption and other charges.
Lead a high-powered APC delegation to
the Ota home of one of the biggest PDP
bigwigs of all, former president Obasanjo,
in order to persuade him to come and be
“the navigator” of your “anti-corruption”
party.
Make a song and dance about being anti-
corruption, but readily acquiesce to your
party’s demand that a whopping 27.5
million naira fee to be paid by all
presidential aspirants of your party; an
amount more than that required by the
PDP. Tell Nigerians you could not afford
the 27.5 million naira. Nevertheless,
declare your candidacy lavishly in Eagle
Square, Abuja.
Tell Nigerians you took a dubious bank
loan of 27.5 million naira in order to pay
for your party’s presidential nomination
papers. But afterwards it was reported in
the papers that it was a former governor
that wrote the cheque to your party to pay
for you.
