Is Apc Threatening Democracy??? *a Must Read* by zickie: 10:02am On Aug 21, 2018
* IS APC THREATENING DEMOCRACY?*

Gov El-Rufai of Kaduna State demolished a Senator's house for opposing his govt.

Gov Al-Makura of Nassarawa demolished Breeze FM Radio Station.

Gov Ajimobi of Oyo State just demolished Ayefele's Fresh FM Radio Station in Ibadan for allowing the use of the station by those opposed to the APC govt in Oyo State. Mind you, Yinka Ayefele is challenged physically.

Ekiti State Radio and TV stations too had been shut down since July 14, 2018 on order from above. No official communication on the closure and no response to the letter of appeal written to the NBC by the State govt.

President Buhari is arresting and detaining opposition figures, including journalists up and down. El-Zakzaky has been in detention with his wife since December 2015 despite court order for their release. Ditto Dasuki.

Remove partisan politics, go and read what happened between 1984 and 1985 that Buhari was Military Head of State and relate it to what is happening now, you will ask yourself how we got here again.

Google the story of the National Security Organisation (NSO) under Mohammed Lawal Rafindadi (from Katsina State) and relate it with what Lawal Daura (also from Katsina State) did as DSS Director General, you will ask yourself why Nigeria was returned to that dark age.

Finally, I present to you part of the The coup speech that overthrew Buhari on August 27, 1985…

>>>>>>>>>>>>
I, Brigadier Joshua Nimyel Dogonyaro, of the Nigerian Army, hereby make the following declaration on behalf of my colleagues and members of the Nigerian Armed Forces.

Fellow country men, the intervention of the military at the end of 1983 was welcomed by the nation with unprecedented enthusiasm. Nigerians were unified in accepting the intervention and looked forward hopefully to progressive changes for the better. Almost two years later, it has become clear that the fulfillment of expectations is not forthcoming.

Because this generation of Nigerians and indeed future generations have no other country but Nigeria, we could not stay passive and watch a small group of individuals misuse power to the detriment of our national aspirations and interest.

No nation can ever achieve meaningful strides in its development where there is an absence of cohesion in the hierarchy of government; where it has become clear that positive action by the policy makers is hindered because as a body it lacks a unity of purpose.

It is evident that the nation would be endangered with the risk of continuous misdirection. We are presently confronted with that danger. In such a situation, if action can be taken to arrest further damage, it should and must be taken. This is precisely what we have done.

The Nigerian public has been made to believe that the slow pace of action of the Federal Government headed by Major-General Muhammadu Buhari was due to the enormity of the problems left by the last civilian administration.

Although it is true that a lot of problems were left behind by the last civilian government, the real reason, however, for the very slow pace of action is due to lack of unanimity of purpose among the ruling body; subsequently, the business of governance has gradually been subjected to ill-motivated power play considerations. The ruling body, the Supreme Military Council, has, therefore, progressively been made redundant by the actions of a select few members charged with the day-to-day implementation of the SMC’s policies and decision.

The concept of collective leadership has been substituted by stubborn and illadvised unilateral actions, thereby destroying the principles upon which the government came to power. Any effort made to advise the leadership, met with stubborn resistance and was viewed as a challenge to authority or disloyalty.

Thus, the scene was being set for systematic elimination of what, was termed oppositions. All the energies of the rulership were directed at this imaginary opposition rather than to effective leadership.

The result of this misdirected effort is now very evident in the country as a whole. The government has started to drift. The economy does not seem to be getting any better as we witness daily increased inflation.

The nation’s meager resources are once again being wasted on unproductive ventures. Government has distanced itself from the people and the yearnings and aspirations of the people as constantly reflected in the media have been ignored.

This is because a few people have arrogated to themselves the right to make the decisions for the larger part of the ruling body. All these events have shown that the present composition of our country’s leadership cannot, therefore, justify its continued occupation of that position.

Furthermore, the initial objectives and programmes of action which were meant to have been implemented since the ascension to power of the Buhari Administration in January 1984 have been betrayed and discarded. The present state of uncertainty and stagnation cannot be permitted to degenerate into suppression and retrogression.....
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Our brothers and sisters in the APC, especially the Buharideens among you, I hope you will read this very objectively before dropping your abusive comments as usual.

It is another warning as we approach 2019. Just as we warned you in 2015 before using your thumbs to invite these calamities upon Nigeria and its people, you are being warned again.

Avoid voting this tyrannical govt again.

My name is Lere Olayinka, you can hate me and my message, it is your right. But do not hate Nigeria, it is the only country that we have.

Lere Olayinka

*LERE OLAYINKA OR HIS SPONSORS WEREWOLVES THINK WE’RE STUPID, RIGHT?*

NO! NIGERIANS ARE NOT
With the likes of Lere Olayinka, (1) power is everything; and
(2) PDP is God
This shall be treated in earnest.

Who is Lere Olayinka anyway deceiving by his inchoate write up? His write up contains blatant misrepresentations, half truth and at best tainted facts. Perhaps he thinks no one, as usual, will take pain to ‘google’ on his submissions: he was wrong because going into all the facts he reeled out, one would not impressed to found that NONE OF THEM ALL HE SAID ARE TRUE BY ANY WHIFF.
The first question is, is there a truly ‘fearless’ journalist either juristic or judicial person, existing and bearing Leke Olayinka? Or is the name another moniker designed by the faceless corrupt politicians that have united in vain to fight Buhari to prevent their final Waterloo after 2019 elections?

If he exists or not, let’s present the facts as they stand googleable in sharp contradictions to Olayinka’s misrepresentations and tainted truth:
1. The said Mohammed Lawal Rafindadi was appointed by President Shehu Shagari NOT Buhari after the resignation of Umaru Shikafi

2. NSO as an organization was established by General Olusegun Obasanjo in the aftermath of the botched Dimka coup and carried over into second civilian dispensation, and into Buhari/Idiagbon military era in 1983. Buhari/Idiagbon Administration was in fact on the verge of dismissing the appointment of Ranfindadi’s as DG NSO when Babangida toppled them in a palace coup.

3. Babangida himself was under investigation for corrupt practices, in connection with Sunny Okogwu, his in-law, over the setting up of military hardware company called ‘black gold’ and was in fact going to be dismissed from service when he staged the palace coup.

While it is true that Rafindadi perpetuated several atrocities like human right abuses, maintaining foreign accounts and corrupt practices, it is wrong for Lere Olayinka, or whoever is using it as pen name or his sponsors, to attribute his actions to that of his bosses who in fact had taken the decision to dismiss him at d material time.

4. Politics is in the air. The corrupt politicians have bandied together. The darkness, no matter how vociferous they are, has never defeated the light �.

5. It beats elementary imagination that Lere Olayinka will be using Brigadier Nimyel Dogoyaro’s 1985 coup message against Buhari/Idiagbon administration as a reference point. Exactly what does he expect Babangida to write for Dogoyaro to read as coup broadcast? That the victims of the coup are good people? Or doing good? And deserve to be praised? And too good to be toppled? Yeyenatu kabira

*Facts on the marble*
PDP’s 16-year misrule is the main reason why were this poor, not APC, not Buhari who has just assumed power for three years.

Coming back to Lere Olayinka, one May wish to say a little for now and save the best for last just in case he repents. Lere Olayinka can be best described as a Facebook journalist, specialist, and social media enforcer. An unrepentant PDP man who most certainly won’t mind if the woe called PDP is forever foisted on Nigerians. His nucleus smells power mongering and PDP.
Lere Olayinka, calls himself a fearless journalist when he has been in fact junketing between one political boss to the other. He currently serves as the Special Assistant to Governor Fayose of Ekiti State on Public Communications and New Media (a coinage for social media address duplications etc), and as such is already fidgety about the end of the inglorious era that has been brought down by democratic fire and thunder. When his current boss, Governor Fayose, literally purchased people’s votes in 2014 with packed and monogrammed mini bags of rice, vegetable oil and supply of maggi for cooking with 1000 naira cash in broad day light on the Election Day, the self-acclaimed ‘fearless’ fifth columnist did not see anything slimy about it nor did he say anything about democracy being threatened; when his boss, Governor Fayose, was in military uniform and parading himself as a nollywood star, brandishing ferocious-looking hooligans, vanishing free movements of people and curtailing the movements of Governor Fayemi even as a sitting Governor, Lere Olayinka was in the convoy on the Election Day and came home to his fake duplicated Facebook addresses with dried pens and limped fingers to write or type as the case may be. Now he says democracy is threatened because his government was outnumbered and surprised and surpassed in the games it initiated and thought it knows how to play. His current boss trained the falcons in the art of vote pricing four years ago, and the falcons have decided to use the skills for vote purchase at a price he can no longer afford and they voted in party and persons of their choices. So the falconer lost woefully.

Lere Olayinka worked as Media Aide to Chief Segun Oni when he was the PDP National Vice Chairman (South West) and quickly dumped him when the going was not good for the boss. He stayed back in PDP when his boss moved because PDP is his natural home. Who will employ him for that kind of job apart from PDP anyway?

As a ‘fearless’ politician (or is it journalist he calls himself), one would expect him to fearlessly make a single statement against PDP and President Jonathan in those ignoble days of PDP, which posterity will never allow to happen again.

He leaves no one in doubt about who he is as a PDP social media enforcer, duplicating and wielding numerous fake Facebook addresses; writing and replying himself; maintaining a straight face as though his job were not so filthy; and getting paid for doing such untoward stuffs. It can only be a happenstance in a PDP Government.

**SO WHO IS LERE OLAYINKA, THE SELF-ACCLAIMED PDP-BOY ‘JOURNALIST’ DECEIVING?* *
Himself and his principals at best. Not any Nigerian...
