You Betrayed Democracy, Promoted Genocide’ – Former Senator Bombs Buhari by OKDnigeria: 10:58pm On Jan 06, 2018
Former Nigeria’s High Commissioner to Canada and second Republic senator, Prof. Iyorwuese Hagher, has literarily torn President Muhammadu Buhari apart over his loud silence on the ongoing killing of citizens he swore to protect across the country.

Hagher, who is now President African Leadership Institute USA, in an open letter addressed to Buhari, averred that the president has betrayed the nation’s democracy and is promoting genocide.

The former minister said Buhari’s body language was a clear indication that he is in support of the pogrom going on in the country.

His letter reads.

Your Excellency Mr. President,

YOU HAVE BETRAYED DEMOCRACY AND PROMOTED GENOCIDE

I would have loved to wish you a happy new year, but I am not a hypocrite. I am not happy and nobody in Benue is happy today, because many of our citizens did not have a happy new 2018. Genocide on citizens of Nigeria has escalated in earnest in Benue State. This genocide has turned their happiness to nightmare and death. Let me also apologize for making this letter public. It is not in my character. In this case there is an emergency and urgency, which cannot wait.

I am pained that you ignored my advice in my private memorandum to you dated 30th July 2016. I had warned you of the possibility of a horrendous genocide in Benue, Plateau, Taraba, Southern Kaduna, and Southern Adamawa States. I asked you to be proactive and stop the genocide that has been ongoing but which would burst out in the open and shock the world within 18 months. Your office replied my letter on September, 28th 2016, and the reply was couriered to me in the United States, thanking me “immensely” and giving me the assurances that the advice would be heeded.

With the current situation on ground, I regret to now inform you that it is seventeen months since my warning and prediction and your government did nothing to pre-empt or prevent the genocide. The nomadic terrorists have finally accelerated the ethnic cleansing in Benue State. They have strategically moved against the Tiv, the largest minority ethnicity in northern Nigeria. These perpetrators believe that if they can ethnic cleanse the Tiv, then nobody can stand in their way to possess the land and carve a new geo-polity and demography for the middle-belt.

Now that you have allowed the genocide in the Middle Belt to go on unimpeded you have betrayed your campaign promise to Nigerians that your government ‘‘will always act in time and not allow problems to irresponsibly fester’’.

In allowing the Benue genocide to take place your government has acted irresponsibly and has allowed problems to fester and failed to act on time. You have also failed to lead from the front; giving the impression that centrifugal forces around you are dictating vicious anti-people agenda!

Mr. President, the protection of lives and property of the citizens is more important than your war against corruption! The protection of lives of citizens is the most sacred responsibility of the state and your presidency. Your government has failed woefully in this regard. Mr President there is no greater corruption than the government looking the other way while the strong bullies and kills the weak with impunity and pleasure!

Your Excellency, in your passion (monomania, I think!) to rid the country of corruption, you have totally ignored nation building and ended up with a very divided country. You have failed your immediate Northern constituency by your inability, failure or lack of the political will to end northern poverty through measures that enhance school enrolment, promote girl-child education, and revive dead industries. You became Nigeria’s president on the altar of northern unity when the northern minorities abandoned President Goodluck Jonathan to vote for you. You have now desecrated that altar. By refusing to arrest those that brutally butchered defenseless innocent Benue women and children, you have imperiled northern unity and taken sides with evil.

Many Nigerians think you have failed the country by the lack of a clear vision and a lack of capacity to provide needed infrastructure and a composite holistic development; more significantly, they think you have failed to institute a political culture of integrity. You are often compared with the lone King Sisyphus of Ephyra who was punished by the gods to roll an immense border up the hill, only to watch it roll back down, then condemned to repeat the same rolling action forever. This is the picture people have in mind of your war against endemic corruption. You honestly deserve pity and prayers, but certainly not support for a second term.

Nobody can deny that you still have a horde of admirers, which still look up to you with great admiration; however, the Benue genocide seriously questions your integrity, and your capacity to lead a plural modern state. Is there a rule of law in this country? Why does the Miyetti Allah act with so much impunity? Is this because this terrorist group claims you as their life patron? Do not accept the clamor of those who for their personal political reasons urge you to contest in the 2019 election to be a second term president! Mr. President, please rise above the impression being given that you are just another power obsessed and hungry politician!

Step aside and open the political space for another person to continue your war against corruption with a more comprehensive development program that Nigeria needs and deserves. For now, modernize infrastructure and try to banish poverty. And while your party campaigns for 2019, take a sabbatical from partisanship and build national unity, good governance and concentrate on getting rid of Boko Haram and the Herdsmen Terrorists. After all, great people are not great for winning elections; rather they are known to be great by the legacy they leave behind. With what legacy do you wish the country to remember you for? It is unfortunate that family members of those that were hacked to death will remember you as the genocide president!
Your Excellency Mr. President,

I remain respectfully Sir,
Prof. Iyorwuese Hagher. Ph.D. OON. FSONTA, FIMC, CMC.

Buhari has nothing good to offer this country. He has done nothing to better the life of Nigerians. Now we are decreasing in population than he met us.

Can any of the buhari supporters show us pictures of any infrastructural project he initiated and completed within his two tenures (1984 and now).

Blind support is a terrible disease to someone who claims to be a patriot and educated.

“Let the president respect himself and retire quietly. Coming out to talk of 2019 is insulting not only to those who voted him to power but to all Nigerians.
There are so many problems confronting the people and he should be thinking of what to do about them. For second term, he must be a joker.([/b]Cardinal Okogie)

"Buhari has run out of ideas,even bad ones
"--Junaid Mohammed


"Who amongst us can in good conscience say in the market place that you won the last election on pure merit and that no substantial government funding went into your campaigns."
The quality of your appointees in recent time points to how directionless your government has finally become. In a country overflowing with so many amazing brains and talents, it is incredibly shameful that those are your best representatives for our country. The easiest way for a leader to fail is to continue to attract those much worse than himself.
" (Dele Momodu)


You have failed your immediate Northern constituency by your inability, failure or lack of the political will to end northern poverty through measures that enhance school enrolment, promote girl-child education, and revive dead industries.
"You honestly deserve pity and prayers, but certainly not support for a second term.".
......(Professor Hagher)


Nigerians knows this Government has failed woefully.
Nigerians can forgive executive docility and ineptitude but for these fulani "freedom fighters",ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

My question to Ortom is this: If President Buhari gets a second term, would there be human beings left alive in Benue?(Reno)
Nigerians should also answer that question...


The greatest trick the Devil pulled was convincing the world there was only one of him.(D.W)

Buhari is a blood sucking Islamist demon. His legacies are obvious. History has taken note for the future generations to come.

Those that lured us to voting him into office should be clothed in shame right now.

Look at how Nigerians are being butchered like useless animals under his reign and he says nothing.

He valued his life and spent our resources to be alive but keeps quite while a citizen butchers fellow citizens.
Shameful indeed

So Governors empowered cultists by hiring them for elections


It's Buhari's fault


Fulani herdsmen on rampage killing and maiming people


We should blame Buhari as well


What happened to the Police force and Nigerian army isn't their motorcycle to serve and protect? Why do we always blame Buhari?


I read Buhari was in a meeting with IG of police and top security analysts yesterday trying to figure out how to deal with the madness here and there, if that's not enough response, what else do you want Buhari to do? To sympathize on National TV or tweet his disappointments

U wanted gej to arm himself then take a bike to sambisa n start calling out shekau as a commando u voted for right?

If all the blame was on gej desk,from fuel scarcity, oduahgate, bokoharam n other ills that accompanied his tenure, did buhari swore to a diff constitution that absolce him of any ills during his tenure?

What gej did? Is that a rhetoric question?

First of all he admitted knowing boko haram
https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/3360-boko-haram-has-infiltrated-my-government-says-jonathan.html/amp all he had to do was and remove those members from power, but he was too afraid or too stupid to know how to go about it


Chibok girls kidnap, Jonathan was dancing azonto at a campaign he did not believe the news for 3 days or of he believed it, he did not react to it until the third day before anything was said his excuse was that the government was confirming the incident


Thirdly USA, UK, Israel I think sent military to assist with the war on boko haram after successfully bombing the UN building, and with the malicious kidnap of 286 girls, they even offered to train Nigerian soldiers, provide satellite imagery, and other tactical supports including airstrikes, and they'd been arriving with equipments and stuffs

http://www.nationalturk.com/en/nigeria-abducted-schoolgirlsus-seals-in-nigeria-for-boko-haram-operation-breaking-news-50347/


It was rumored these teams found links to alleged politician in Jonathan's cabinet and moves were made to arrest this person by the combination of US and Nigerian army suddenly Bros Clueless canceled all relations and sent them back

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/172178-nigeria-cancels-u-s-military-training-relations-nations-worsen.html/amp


I REMEMBER SOME brain dead fagssss from a particular area said boko haram is a Nigerian problem and will be dealt with in a Nigerian way, they insisted USA came to take over and control our crude oil, that USA never helps for free, some of the comments I have them saved and it's in my cloud and guess what just like that pfffff help was gone



Then came issue of weapon when Dasuki was feeding fat on monies for security , your tingod went to collaborate with a militant and a guy man pastor they took huge currencies in a private jet under false pretense of wanting to buy weapons from another country because USA refused to sell , the army could have brokered the deal with Israel, Russia, even Ukraine despite being in a bad shape then would have sold weapons to Nigeria through the army but no, a private jet, guyman pastor and militant went to oversee the deal for weapons that'll be used by Nigerian Army


Is that enough reasons or you want more?



As for scarcity of fuel it was constant as female period in Jonathan's administration they had his mumu button they pressed it anyhow and anywhere so much that at least 5 of the so called marketers who collected billions in subsidy did not have an existing address or office, nothing was real , nothing existed just a name and bank account , I think one of them from the north was sentenced early last year


Bottom line so many things he could have done right, he didn't because he was clueless, afraid and unfit for the post he held


The only thing he did right is sharing money and look where we are today?

Gej was bad infact foolish n clueless n unfit to lead even a class, but anything that happened he accepted responsibilities of it. We blamed him for the good, bad n ugly situations that happened during his time, even blamed him for govrs unablement to pay salaries even when we know fg n state govt r diff entity.
But the same things we blame gej for, fools like u r saying we shouldnt blame buhari. Why?

That is the question i asked, didnt say u shud reeled out gej's achievement for me.
