His Excellence, President Mohammadu Buhari (GCFR) has done what needs to be done for the Late MKO and anybody can choose to be happy and unhappy about it.

tinubu advised the dullard to pick osinbande as his vice because hes related to Awolowo to get yoruba votes and it worked, now he asked them to honor Abiola to scam them of their votes, and some of them are dancing, how can buhari post a fulani commisioner of police to yoruba state to protect fulani interest？

He said: “But if....Buhari has now done it because the presidential election is coming, well, he cannot bamboozle anybody with that.

What we are saying is that if he wants to honour the memory of Abiola and June 12, he should implement what June 12 stands for, which is good governance and democracy.

“He should restructure the country before the elections to show his genuineness and not just be playing to the gallery.
This is because all that June 12 stands for is democracy and good governance. It is not about people being killed right, left and centre and pretending that you don’t know what is happening.

“It is not people being killed every day and after three months, you now wake up and say you are beefing up security.
People have been complaining about the awkwardness of the lopsided appointments of heads of security agencies since you came into office, but it was not until now that the vice president (Prof. Yemi Osinbajo) said, “Oh yes, we are going to review it” – because election is approaching.

“We are no fools in this country. He should know that many of us have not got cattle brain, we are well educated and we know what we want. Nobody can come and bamboozle us because elections are coming.

It is just like he said in 2015 that he was a born-again democrat. Now, he has shown us that he is a dictator. We are not moved by it. It is a welcome idea and yes, it is a thing that ought to have been done. But that he is now doing it because elections are coming, I am not excited by that at all.”

These are the kind of true Yorubas that demands equity & justice.A mindset every reasonable Nigerian should have.You don't dangle any carrots before them.
But he used being a born-again Democrat to win in 2015. So where were the educated minds?

Do you have evidence that buhari leagued with Abacha to do what you have accused him of? or are you saying that all the people that served under Abacha are guilty? We need to grow up not just in height but in critical thinking. This adebanjo of a person, is he sincere with this his statement? of course no. He may personally not be happy either because he has an issue to settle with Abiola or buhari. But to say that the Yorubas are not happy is very unfortunate that it came from a man of his age. How do you start rewriting a wrong that has been done if not starting from somewhere. He is bringing restructuring as if him and his likes will not find another reason to discredit the government assuming they go into restructuring today.

THE MOVE OF A DESPERATE PRESIDENT
By
Umar Ardo, Ph.D

The desperation of President Buhari to retain power at all costs has again manifested itself in his illegal act of both changing the National Democracy Day and the investiture of National Honours of GCFR posthumously to late MKO Abiola and GCON to Amb. Babagana Kingibe. Having realized that he has lost public support across the country as a result of his dismal performance in office, and poor handling of issues affecting his Political Party, the NASS, the Judiciary and key stakeholders of the country, particularly the Senate President, the Speaker, Presidents Obasanjo and Babangida, the president ill-advisedly came up with the so-called idea of making June 12 as Nigeria's �� Democracy Day and giving National Honours to Abiola and Kingibe.

There're two issues wrong with this move - i.e. legal and moral. Legally, the president has no powers to confer National Honours on anyone without the deliberation and advice of the National Council of States. The Third Schedule of the Constitution of Nigeria (as amended) at Section 6(a)iii confers on the NCS the powers to advise the president on the award of national honours. The fact is that the NCS didn't meet to deliberate and advise on this so-called investiture.

Secondly, the National Public Holidays Act has listed 29 May as a National Holiday being the country's Democracy Day. This means that the president can only change the Democracy Day if the Act is duly amended. And to the best of my knowledge this Act has not been amended. Therefore the president's pronouncement is unlawful and of no moment. The only thing is that his action has but further affirmed the president as a no-respecter of due process of law and constitutionalism.

On the moral side, the president cannot honour Babagana Kingibe on the basis of June 12 because Kingibe had abandoned Chief Abiola and the June 12 mandate when he joined his kinsman, General Abacha, and took a ministerial appointment in that regime. It's morally repugnant to now honour him for such an unsalutary act.

Besides, June 12 had never featured in Buhari's politics. He worked with Abacha who incarcerated Abiola and denied the actualization of the mandate and he never raised the issue of June 12. In his electioneering campaigns in 2003, 2007, 2011 and 2015, June 12 was never in Buhari's political lexicon. For 3yrs as president he never uttered the phrase June 12. Even last week when he addressed the nation on May 29, June 12 was not mentioned. So how come all of a sudden, like a bolt out of the blue, June 12 became the new political darling of the president? There're three answers to it that I can harzard:-
1. President Buhari has realized that he has lost the support of the Nigerian people, particularly in the Southwest, and so he was tricked into making this palliative in the vein hope of reganering support to his fledging presidency;
2. That he is now at opened war with IBB who annulled the June 12 election and OBJ who is the main beneficiary of the resolution of the June 12 imbroglio, he is made to believe that with this move he would regain his support in the Southwest at the same time rubbish the two former presidents; and
3. Unknown to him, he's playing the political script of Babagana Kingibe and his kinsman, the COS to the president. To all intents and purposes, the two are scheming a succession move to Buhari himself where, in the event of Buhari's leaving office, Kingibe would've been well positioned to succeed him as president. Clearly, in the Northeast, no politician has Kingibe's profile. He was a Permanent Secretary, Ambassador, National Chairman of the SDP, Abiola's Running mate, Minister of Internal and External Affairs and Secretary to the Federal Government. Already, through their scheming, Kingibe has taken over the DNI, SSS and the villa. All they need is to resuscitate the spirit of June 12 to which Kingibe would be the major beneficiary. With the GCON conferred on him, the benefits have started dropping. This is a highly sophisticated political scheming that President Buhari wouldn't perceive.

Nevertheless, the president is so engrossed with the trapping of power and its retention that he could fall for anything. And how big has he fallen! What a great pity for Nigeria ��!! What a great pity!!!

That is your opinion and nobody will insult because of that. Civilized people discuss issues and profer solutions.

For reasons of sentiment you may be attached to PMB but I hope you will remember that this same PMB removed a civilian government in 1983?

Now for this country to continue to exist as an entity, you must restructure it. The current structure is much in favour big the north at the detriment of the south (please note am from the political north) this was made possible by successive military administration lead by people of Northern decent.
You may wish to recall the one of the straw that lead to the civil war is conflict on structure? If we don't resolve it , it will continue to hinder development .
The eldestateman at 92 year of age cannot be said to be inexperience as far as Nigeria politics is concerned.
If PMB were sincere, he would have declared June 12 democracy day right from his 1st years in office, if he were sincere, he wouldn't have been telling Nigerian Abacha built road and hospital 80%of which were in the North. If PMB were sincere, he would not be telling us Abacha did not steal whereas 30 years after his demise, USA us about to return more than $500m.

We certainly can think and will not allow anyone to push us around . If we voted out GEJ, we shall surely repeat it with PMB .

Finally, can you list out PMB major achievements? I mean pojects he started and has been completed this past 3 years? Will you break it into zones and see how he has performed across board?
