With the polls closed in Israel, international election observers now turn their attention to the Nigerian elections on March 28. The choice for the leader of Africa’s most populous country pits Goodluck Jonathan from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) against Mohammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC). The decision by the roughly 73 million registered Nigerian voters could have a profound impact on the future of Africa.

But Western foreign policy observers pre-occupied with the rise of ISIS in the Middle East should wake up to the reality unfolding in Nigeria. Opposition candidate General Buhari wants Sharia law throughout Nigeria. In fact, he wants it everywhere.

“I will continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment to the Sharia movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria,” Mr. Buhari said. “God willing, we will not stop the agitation for the total implementation of the Sharia in the country.”

Agitation? Is this an indication that Mr. Buhari supports violence because the end goal of the terrorist attacks throughout Nigeria and Africa is an Islamic state? It is a legitimate question that should be asked by leaders of the Obama administration.

Boko Haram has pledged its allegiance and support to ISIS. The Northern Nigerian based Islamic terrorist group wants Sharia law throughout Nigeria and beyond. They are also actively terrorizing Chad, Niger and Cameroon with their goal of an Islamic state.

Mr. Buhari has also spoken sympathetically about members of the terrorist group Boko Haram, has cautioned against a rush to judgement on its members and has personally been selected by the terrorist group to lead its negotiations with the Government of Nigeria.  Mr. Buhari’s election as Nigeria’s head of state would be a disaster for Africa. It would also signal trouble for the West’s fight against ISIS and terrorism throughout the Middle East.

Make I hear say buhari no win

Clear health, certificate issues, PDP tells Buhari
1 hours ago


The Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation has urged the All Progressives Congress Presidential Candidate, Gen. Muhammad Buhari (retd.),  to clear his health and education issues before the elections.

The Director of Media and Publicity of the organisation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode, made the call at a news conference on Friday in Abuja.

Fani-Kayode said the issues were critical to enable Nigerians make informed decision on the election coming up on March 28.

He asked Buhari to explain to Nigerians his role in the 1966 coup and the killings of notable military personnel.

He also urged the APC Presidential candidate to explain to Nigerians, his role in the Petroleum Trust Fund scandal while he was chairman of the fund.

Fani-Kayode also said it was necessary for Buhari to explain his role in the agitation for political Sharia in northern part of the country in 2000.

Listing 32 other issues, he said, “these are the questions that we would like Gen. Buhari to answer over the next few days before the presidential elections.”

He added that Buhari’s response on the issues would give Nigerians a clearer picture of “who and what Buahri really is.”

He said if the APC candidate failed to answer the questions sincerely, the PDP would assume that his answer to the questions were in the affirmative.

He added that the PDP would be compelled to conclude that the candidate was unfit to rule the country.
