WHY BUHARI WAS REMOVED IN 1983 AND WHY HE CANNOT WIN IN 2019

The Buhari/Idiagbon led military jaunta was wellcomed with joy and celebration. In a situation similar to what preceded the Jan 15 coup, Nigerians who were already tired of the corruption and proliferation of governance and political parties along ethnic and regional lines took to the streets to celebrate Buhari’s incursion to power especially as he was dressed in borrowed robes and his image greatly laundered to suit the personality he forced on himself.

However, in 20 Months, the military that enthroned Buhari kicked against him and he was unceremoniously ousted in what could pass as the easiest coup in the country largely, due to its acceptability to the majority of senior Army officers who had 20 Months earlier, presented him to Nigerians as the long waited Messiah.

The Military through Ninyel Dogoyaro justified his removal in this short, and patriotic depicting sentence thus;

“Because this generation of Nigerians and indeed future generations have no other country but Nigeria, we could not stay passive and watch a small group of individuals misuse power to the detriment of our national aspirations and interest.

No nation can ever achieve meaningful strides in its development where there is an absence of cohesion in the hierarchy of government; where it has become clear that positive action by the policy makers is hindered because as a body it lacks a unity of purpose”.

Juxtapose to his second coming. Has the small group not hijacked his present day government? He has so failed that like his military cohorts, his family and close associates has joined the bandwagon of wailers to condemn his government after 20 Months of rulership.

It was first Dr Junaid Mohammed, a fiery 2nd republic Parliamentarian that first raised the alerm that Buhari’s government has been hijacked by what he described as cabals fingering specifically, Mamman Daura.

The Senate president, Dr Bukola Saraki followed suit.

As if that was not enough, the woman that has spent 30years of her life with him and who was joined with him in matrimony many years ago travelled to far away london where she mustered the courage to raise an even more louder alerm that her husband’s government has been hijacked by people without voters’ card, she went on to say out of frustration and the messy state of the nation, that should it continue unabated, she would not come out to campaign for her own husband in 2019.

The most invidious alerm came from Elrufai, the APC voicefarous Governor of Kaduna state who used his media strong base to launch a campaign of calumny and propaganda in the most uncouth and obnoxious language to oust the Jonathan govt out of Asovilla. A strategy that proved effective for the gullibility and history apathy of Nigerians and crowned the messiah…The issues he raised in his letter contains inter alia that the administratiom has failed advising the presidency to quickly sit-up to avoid their iminent removal. It was an honest advice but Elrufai of all people should be aware that the Buhari govt has no future. In a decent democracy where party and tribes are rebuffed with the interest of Nigeria as the prime consideration, the legislature could have used the jocular to save our country from imminent collapse.

The allegation of lack of cohesion and unity of purpose is very glaring as this government has become confused, made the work of the opposition needless as there is internal or what is known as an inhouse fighting. Amechi vs Kachikwu, Debiri vs Onyeama, Ambode vs Fashola, Oyegun vs Tinubu and the most shameful and dramatic fight is between the two sister agencies of the Federal government (DSS AND EFCC) headed by Buhari’s two appointees, Daura vs Magu. Their fight is most symbolic. It is a pointer that Buhari is not incharge of his administration and it further evinces the fact that the government is confused, incompetent, lacks focus, has no agenda and is drifting. If not, why would the president write a letter to the senate clearing Magu of all the allegations raised by Daura in his first letter and on appearance, Daura, an appointee of Buhari, writes another letter countering his boss, that Magu is corrupt. Meaning that Buhari, the intergrity personified, indeed lied to the senate. I am tempted to believe the DSS report since it is an investigative agency and should know better than Buhari. What do we expect the senate to do when the executive sends somebody’s name for confirmation and thesame executive discredits the person?…what a shameless govt. I said it before now that APC was never prepard for governance. The fight is purly a squabble for selfish and avaricious interests, who gets what, how and where. It is far from representing the interest of the smallest fraction of Nigeria. It is for their immediate, extended families and generations unborn. Nothing built on lie can ever stand the test of truth. The admistration was built on lies and when they ran out of lies to sustain it, it started to drift uncontrollably.

Dogoyaro went on to say;

“Although it is true that a lot of problems were left behind by the last civilian government, the real reason, however, for the very slow pace of action is due to lack of unanimity of purpose among the ruling body; subsequently, the business of governance has gradually been subjected to ill-motivated power play considerations. The ruling body, the Supreme Military Council, has, therefore, progressively been made redundant by the actions of a select few members charged with the day-to-day implementation of the SMC’s policies and decision.

The concept of collective leadership has been substituted by stubborn and illadvised unilateral actions, thereby destroying the principles upon which the government came to power. Any effort made to advise the leadership, met with stubborn resistance and was viewed as a challenge to authority or disloyalty.

Thus, the scene was being set for systematic elimination of what, was termed oppositions. All the
energies of the rulership were directed at this imaginary opposition rather than to effective leadership”

Flash forward to what we have today, all the energies of this administration is geared towards the opposition with little or no concern for the nitty-gritty of governance, The acts and arts of governing including the basic tenets of democracy are glaringly flunged into the skye with a largely exagerated corruption fight in which despite the announcements of recovered trillions daily, the EFCC boss, Magu could not mention the same billion dollars he has mentioned freely before on the pages of newspaper before the senate chambers when it became a matter of record. Who is fooling who? Nigerians are wiser. He is out to eliminate any form of opposition and resistance against his government.

Somebody who refers to ministers as noisemakers cannot value their advice let alone, the advice of others. The government is therefore, drifting uncontrollably due to the unilateral decision of the “few”.

Buhari has not changed. His sins of yesteryears has followed him to the future. His government is boiling in avoidable fracas. There is power play by his kitchen cabinet members and everybody close to his administration. Since Buhari is not incharge, they act and take decisions as it benefits their insatiable pockets and interests.

His blame game that was injurious to his miliatary regime has come to haunt him yet again. The success Osinbajo recorded during the 50days Buhari was a “ghost worker” at the UK has nailed him and those MISCHIEVOUS elements, blaming the Jonathan era for the woes his incompetency and lack of unity of purpose at the centre, tribal and ethnic considerations has brought on a large number of Nigerians, more gruesomely, to the less privileged.

The economoc recession then did not change long years after. This depicts that it is THE MAN who is the problem and it is more reason why no Nigerian with sincere intentions devoid of parochial sentiments, ganished with tribal bigotry and stewed with religious alignments can vote Buhari in 2019.

Dogoyaro pointedly stated further that: “The nation’s meager resources are once again being wasted on unproductive ventures. Government has distanced itself from the people and the yearnings and aspirations of the people as constantly reflected in the media have been ignored”

How many millions have we been made to believe has accrued to our federation account from the much talked about corruption fight, the single treasury account etc. And why have we continued to borrow money? How have we priororitized our recession resources? He spent billions touring the whole world with large and needless aids, He spent billions to showcase our military might to the world in Gambia while Nigerians continued to be ravaged and gruesomely brutalized and butchered by Bokoharam and Fulani militia unabated. What projects has the government executed so far? The only visible project is the $250million the secretary to the govt, Babachir Lawal used in clearing grass at the IDP camps and the billions of dollars used in importing grass by our Agriculture minister, Chief Audu Ogbe from Brazil. A govt where the plight of cows ranks sacrilegiously above the sanctity and sacredness of human life and welfare.

For same reasons, Nigerians must converge in the spirit of patriotism and revolution as displayed by Dogoyaro and other gallant soldiers in 1985 to remove Buhari again in 2019

God Bless Nigeria

It's the reason Nigerian enterprises in general are hardly ever able to compete with their foreign counterparts. No originality. Same names, same process, same news.

Well you may be right. Quality matters much more than name. Just try to maintain a top notch quality and we'll stand solidly behind you.
@Bolded: spellings matter a lot also.
