Afegbua if you're that concerned about Nigeria, why don't you tell Babangida to return part of his LOOTED fund before he kicks his golden bucket.

2019: What I would have told Buhari – Babangida’s spokesman, Afegbua
Kassim Afegbua, the representative for previous Head of State, Ibrahim Babangida, has said that he would have revealed to President Muhammadu Buhari not to keep running in the 2019 race on the off chance that he (Buhari) were his father.

The Babangida's spokesman said he wouldn't draw out his father to be so criticized by Nigerians.

Asked supposing between now and 2019 President Buhari changed his policies to address some of the issues he raised in the statement, Afegbua told Vanguard that it was time the President left the stage for the younger generation.

He said, “If President Buhari is my father, I will graciously advise him. I will say, ‘Daddy, it is time to go home and manage the rest of your life. It is time to leave the stage where people will be abusing you’. I will not bring out my dad to be so vilified if I were to be his son.

“So, it is not about changing policies, it is about the fact that this is the age of retirement, this is the age of having more time for yourself and family than committing to public service. When General Babangida clocked 70, I was one of those who prevailed on him to quit partisan politics.


“I told him, ‘Sir, now you are 70, I do not want any journalist to push you here and there’. We prepared a statement for him; at a public event in Abuja, he announced his retirement from partisan politics. That is the hallmark of a statesman.

“Now, anybody that wants to run for election both in APC and PDP go to him in Minna for advice. So some of us who are saying that President Buhari should not seek re-election are more of his friends than those who are urging him on.

“Now, the President has told us that his doctors told him to eat more and sleep more. But this country needs a President who will be awake when the country is sleeping.

“Or who will be awake when the country is awake. India is awake at night, 24 hours because they want to catch up with lost time. We cannot afford the luxury of having a President who will sleep when we have insecurity everywhere, herdsmen here and there.


“We need a President that has the capacity to go round and preach peace to all the ethnic groups. Nigeria is more sharply divided now more than ever before and that is where some of us expressed huge worry and huge danger.

“We now look at ourselves as strangers occupying the same geographical mass. It should not be, we should be partners in progress and we should be able to own our country.

“We are all Nigerians, we need a President that can speak on these issues, understand the intricate logic of the Nigerian federation, the dynamism of the processes and, at the end, take a decision that will be far reaching and that will be seen to be just and fair to all the ethnic configurations of the country.

“It is not an accident of history that President Obasanjo said this government is nepotistic. There are clear signs; we have seen actions and inactions.

“We need a President that will speak the language of peace, we don’t want people to be cocooned in the Villa and we are just working with body language; that does not help us as a country.”

Mr. Afegbua has spoken well. But the problem is the empty skull of a president and his cohorts will not listen.

So after the initial gra gra, this man is a free man.

Buhari govt just knows how discredit itself.

Buhari should retire or be retired.
If the attribute of ''initial gra gra'' is to be attributed to some one in this issue, it fit perfectly this Afegbua person. After his initial gra gra, he came out laud and clear to deny people of your kinds; he said he was misinterpreted by headline readers like you who would only stop at reading headlines and then form their own opinion and spread their own opinion as opinion of the author. It's exactly what he told the police and DSS to be left off the hook.
Even an unconscionable mind would know this his denial is a rebuttal and at the same time a slap on ipobian pigs and ipobian pigs brain who took him then a God sent messenger that would sent Buhari parking for them.
Buhari will be sworn in 2019 for a second term; ipobian pigs and Haters will cry river niger.

He really did not deny the authenticity of the letter, he only tried to play down the media's interpretation of it, and we all know that was done to calm the tension it was generating. I do not see much difference between what he is saying now and what was in that letter.
