BUHARI VOTED AGAINST A NIGERIAN BECOMING OAU SECRETARY GENERAL IN 1985 BECAUSE OF TRIBAL CONSIDERATIONS,AND GAVE HIS VOTE INSTEAD TO SOMEBODY FROM NIGER[A FULANI LIKE HIM]. PLEASE, READ ON.

Between 1983 and 1985, Peter Onu of Nigeria was Acting Secretary-General of the OAU. At the 1985 Summit in Addis Ababa, statesmen like Julius Nyerere, President of Tanzania, lobbied for his election as substantive Secretary-General. However, there was a major stumbling block to Peter Onu’s candidature: his Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari, was campaigning against him.

Buhari claimed: “This generation of Nigerians and indeed future generations have no other country than Nigeria.” But when the crunch came, his allegiance to Nigeria disappeared. In the election of the OAU Secretary-General in 1985, Buhari voted against Nigeria and for Niger instead. He secured the election of Ide Oumarou, a Fulani man from Niger; as opposed to an Igbo man from Nigeria. By so doing, Buhari became the first and only Head of State in the history of modern international relations to vote against his country in favour of his tribe.

Years later, General Buhari marched all the way from Daura to Ibadan to demand of Oyo State Governor, Lam Adeshina: “Why are your people killing my people?” Again, he was not referring to Nigerians as his people. Instead, he was an advocate for the rights of murderous Fulani herdsmen who killed Yoruba farmers that objected to their cattle grazing on their land and damaging their crops. This same Buhari who voted against Nigeria in 1985, and said in 2003: “Muslims should only vote those who will promote Islam,” is now shopping for votes nationwide. He should be rejected outright.

Ignorance running riot

If APC had wanted to be taken seriously, it would have come up with a better presidential material than Buhari. There is something anomalous about a party whose mantra is change, recycling a 73 year old man as its candidate for the president of modern Nigeria. Buhari has little or no understanding of public policy. That is why APC will always come up with some excuse or the other not to have him participate in a debate with Jonathan. Buhari fought corruption by imposing ridiculous 300-year sentences on offenders. He fought exam malpractices by imposing 24-year prison sentences on school children.

He dealt with indiscipline by flogging people to queue at bus-stops. He dealt with food shortages by sending soldiers to break into private warehouses and shops. He fought trade imbalances by taking Nigeria back to the stone age of trade by barter (counter-trade). He sought to extradite a Nigerian from Britain by drugging and crating him.

There is so much about Buhari ending the Boko Haram insurgency as he did the Maitatsine insurgency in the 1980s. But the General needs to be advised that Boko Haram is not Maitatsine. Maitatsine was in two towns: Boko Haram is in three states with spillover effects into others. Maitatsine fought with bows and arrows: Boko Haram fights with sophisticated weapons. Maitatsine was a local insurgency, Boko Haram is an international phenomenon.

Anti-corruption hypocrisy: Buhari does not know what corruption means and how to fight it. He became Nigeria’s Head of State through the corruption of a coup d’état and he then tried to fight corruption with corruption. Imposing retroactive decrees and killing Nigerians under them is corruption. Putting an Igbo vice-president in Kirikiri, while placing the Fulani president under palatial house arrest, is corruption.

Detaining people like Michael Ajasin in jail, even after they were discharged and acquitted by kangaroo courts, is corruption. Jailing journalists for telling the truth is corruption. Putting pressure on a judge in order to jail Fela Anikulapo-Kuti is corruption. Shepherding 53 suitcases of contraband unchecked through Customs during a currency change exercise is corruption. Swearing an affidavit that your school-leaving certificate is with the military when it is not, is corruption.....

One thing I know is... muhammadu buhari will never be president of nigeria, APC lost that vision the day they fielded buhari against the wish of the masses.
Among Apc there young energetic men and women but they chose to opt for a man who is just unelectable,
If Apc ever fielded fashola , amechi ,kwankwaso, aminu tambuwal ,Rochas okorocha. There nigeria will be very happy to vote for them as we re all tired of pdp. But again with buhari they are just dead on arrival.whoever think GEJ will hand power to buhari should better think again. You can Sai whoever you want to Sai but buhari is a bad business venture from few greedy few.
I rest my case.

Other crimes of Buhari

Buhari banned condoms and promoted abstinence
Buhari banned okada motorcycles from being used as a transportation
Buhari banned homosexuality and lesbianism
Buhari did this, Buhari did that.

Instead of these GEJ supporters to look at their lives and ask themselves what GEJ has done to positively impact them. You guys keep making negative lies and stories against Buhari.

Can GED still improve this country judging from the way he has ruled in the last four years? If GED really thinks he worked well to the satisfaction of the masses, then he won't waste his time going to Campaign venues instead his works will speak for him.

When he was in power, I wasn't born. But my parents were positively affected by the less corruption in the society then. Laws and decrees were set in the interest of the people. Unlike our dear presido that blabs stealing is not corruption.

I have said it here several times that it's only God that can forgive Buhari of his past sins.

The list of his sins is endless.

He really messed up in the past, he never thought he would someday contest for a position.

Too bad for the cattle-rearer.

Anyway, that's none of my business.



The Most Important Thing Is That President Goodluck Jonathan Must Rule Till 2019.

Yeah, I've Decided.

Jonathan Till 2019.

It's Not A Prayer Point, Jonathan Must Emerge.

Another lie from those rewriting the anti-buhari narrative! Peter Onu is from Bendel, present day Benin/Delta! He was Secretary General on 2 consecutive year and never up for election! He was not on the ballot paper! Peter Onu at the time did not contest because it was largely agreed that the post should be ceded to a Francophone countries! Beside that big financiers of OAU were also excluded from putting up personalities for the elective post! Countries like Libya, Egypt, Algeria, Nigeria were excluded because the renew of Peter Onu's interim tenure did not enjoyed wide support from the franchophone countries! Buhari was just following the rules collectively agreed upon by the super power to cede to post to a lesser country!
