Buhari Abandons Anpp by Nobody: 6:44am On Feb 04, 2010 |
The All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) presidential candidate in the 2003 and 2007 elections, General Muhammadu Buhari, has resigned his membership of the party because of what he termed “irreconcilable ideological differences”. His resignation took effect from February 1, 2010. In a letter he signed and sent to the party’s National Secretary, Saidu Kumo, Buhari cited irreconcilable ideological differences between himself and the party, which he claimed had sidelined majority members of the party. He said this development made it impossible for him to contribute meaningfully in the running of the affairs of ANPP. “It is also a result of the above that I have taken the painful decision of withdrawing my membership of ANPP with effect from February 1 2010. “Sincerely, I regret that I had to leave the party in which I received and enjoyed tremendous love and support from many. But this decision has been taken in the greater interest of our fatherland, ,” Buhari stated. The former military ruler expressed hope that he could work together with the party in deepening democracy in the country, even when he is no longer in their fold. He thanked ANPP for the opportunity given to him to fly the party’s ticket in the last two presidential elections. When contacted, Kumo acknowledged the receipt of the letter from Buhari and wished him good luck in his future political ambitions. He said that the party received the letter yesterday morning. Reacting to the development, a member of the Elders Committee of ANPP and one time presidential candidate under the defunct National Republican Convention (NRC) Bashir Tofa said in an interview with THISDAY that “Buhari’s resignation was therefore to preempt his dismissal from the party.” He added that “Buhari’s ideology is ‘I must be president and no one is better than me in Nigeria’. Those he will associate with will soon find they too will have ideological differences with him.” “He will do well to exit from politics all together as he himself has said in his letter the reason for his resignation is the ideological differences he has with party leaders, and another reason may be the unfounded rumours that is circulating that some party members will place a memo to the next NEC meeting in Maiduguri for his suspension and eventual dismissal from the party for anti-party activities. “I suggest he (Buhari) will go home and rest and be content with the status of an elder http://www.thisdayonline.com/nview.php?id=165764 |

The most delightful news that could emerge with respect to Baboon Buhari would be if he abandoned breathing for good, and then died in short order, so as to spare the world the boring details of his eminently deserved slide into irrelevance and obscurity. |

@Abagworo. The projection rate of your brain is marvelous, but how can it possibly be so? We ain't talking the Sarduana or Emir here. |
