FICTION PARADING AS NEWS: NO FOREIGN PRESSURE ON PRESIDENT BUHARI TO DROP 2ND TERM BID – PRESIDENCY

It is necessary to respond to a tendentious story published today as cover choice by Daily Independent Newspaper.

Under the headline, 'Pressure mounts on Buhari not to seek re-election,' the fiction parading as news claims that foreign powers, including the European Union, United States of America, United Kingdom, and Saudi Arabia, are putting pressure on President Buhari not to seek re-election, due to some concocted reasons.

We thought fake news was the sole preserve of the social media in this season. Alas, a traditional medium has caught the bug. Obviously, the author of the story just got a brain wave, or got procured by anti-democratic elements, and then penned the mischief.

If there are quarters in which President Buhari is held in very high esteem, and the work he is doing for Nigeria highly lauded, it is in the countries mentioned. Some of them are equally bastions of democracy, and will not interfere in the democratic affairs of a sovereign country. The newspaper should simply tell its story to the marines.

President Buhari is not a flippant or frivolous individual. He gave deep thought to the prospect, before announcing his bid for a second term in office. It is only those who fear that their goose would be cooked, if they meet with him at the polls, that are trying to dissuade him from running by all means, including sponsored newspaper stories.

By saying it got feelers that President Buhari may opt out of the 2019 presidential election, Daily Independent embarrassed itself, and all those who love good journalism. The newspaper can surely do better.

PDP and Lies

PDP cannot face PMB in 2019...He will roundly decimate,destroy, scatter and capitulate them to oblivion

"Instead of a dog being the treasurer for the lion it is better for both to part ways and go on their separate hunting game"-Former Kwara PDP Chairman, Akogun Oyedepo

Nigeria and indeed Nigerians have parted ways with PDP...the Social Media Party

Seriously what has he done to deserve a second term?
If na me, shame go dey catch me to re-contest since I failed to fulfil all my first term promises. But my guy already has his usual line of excuses "PDP" and now the latest excuse is "Saraki's NASS frustrated him from performing"

"A failure blames all except himself"

He doesn't need pressure from the international community not to seek re-election,the pressure from Aisha is enough to push him aside.

The lie was so childish. Sounded like something Nnamdi Kanu would say. They had to include Saudi Arabia so as to get sympathy from Muslims.
Next time make dem add FIFA, UNICEF, UEFA UN, ECOWAS, etc.
Even pdp knows that the only way they MIGHT win 2019 is if Buhari decides not to run.

I never took that thread seriously. In fact I was actually disappointed that a mod took that kind of "evidenceless" story to front page. Daily Independent, LeadersNG, etc seem to be executing hatchet job for PDP, using fake news. What concerns Saudi Arabia with our domestic policies - at least we're not in the Middle East. Even for the other countries mentioned, Independent never cared to give any concrete lie to back up their lie. grin

Only neophytes will believe that fake news.

Any close watcher of the contemporary foreign policies and domestic realities of these mentioned world powers will know that they are too busy to be interested in what goes on in Nigeria

America under Trump has increasingly become an isolationist country hence they have little or no regard for what goes on in Third World countries like Nigeria. America has China and the EU to contend with.

In Britain, Theresa May is under serious pressure as regards the deals that will ultimately seal Brexit and has no time to think about Nigeria. Her cabinet is falling apart.

The EU generally is too busy with threats from Putin's Russia and the harsh foreign policies of America's Trump.

Anyone who believes Saudi Arabia will advise a Muslim president like PMB not to run for second term needs to have his/her examined.

It serious that some Nigerians are this gullible.

If the story was true and PMB decides to step down, that would mean he doesn't have a mind of his own and therefore not fit to rule wink

The idiots above me tho'.

Even if there were pressures do you expect APC to own up to the fact? They'd deny it of course.

So there's nothing noteworthy here.

Was a stupid headline only an idiot would believe.

I don't like Buhari, but foreign countries respect sovereignty and don't meddle that directly with a country's affairs.

What's their business with your President's incompetence?

Why do you think Trump was beaming from ear to ear ?

Buhari splashed over $200 million and he didn't negotiate for anything but the jets
