Muhammadu Buhari, the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress is using diabolical powers to get elected into office, said Shehu Shagari, the man he overthrew on 31 December 1983.‎

Shagari, ‎the Turakin Sakkwato in the Sokoto Caliphate,‎ who was President of Nigeria’s Second Republic between ‎1979 and 1983 before Buhari overthrew him in a coup d’etat warned in a letter that after truncating democracy in 1983, Buhari is using all available means, including diabolical powers to get elected president of Nigeria.

‎”You said you do not want democracy in Nigeria.. (now) the same democracy you truncated, you are fighting hard to get with desperation and diabolical power,” Shagari a northern Fulani nan said in a letter.
‎
Shagari became president after the handover of power by General ‎Olusegun Obasanjo‘s military government.‎


Shagari warned that although has entered into “unholy alliance with some known elements of disunity in the south”, he ‎will “suffer hard in the hands of Tinubu and his political merchants who will use and dump you as they did to Nuhu.”‎

‎FULL TEXT OF LETTER FROM ALHAJI SHEHU SHAGARI TO BUHARI
‎

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.

Alhaji Shehu Shagari (GCFR)‎

Boohary you will suffer hard in the hands of Tinubu and his political merchants who will use and dump you as they did to Nuhu.

Always check the source of an article before giving it proper reply. You can obviously tell it's all nonsense, given the source. OP is jobless, looking to be relevant by posting fake stories.
