Buhari’s ‘Violence’ Comment In Zamfara A Joke - Campaign Council by ahmedkoded95(m): 12:11pm On Feb 12, 2019 |
The campaign council of President Muhammadu Buhari has said the comment made by Mr Buhari in Zamfara State was a “joke”. The opposition had condemned the president’s comments as an incitement. Mr Buhari, while concluding his remarks in Hausa at a campaign rally in Gusau, Zamfara State on Sunday, said he was happy that the nation had two rainy seasons that enabled farmers to make good yield. He then prayed for another fruitful rainy season. “What I actually want is for everyone to feed well and as for those who want to continue with their “fitna”, (they) can go ahead”. The word “fitna” in Hausa literally mean “crisis” and because Zamfara state is experiencing insecurity as a result of the activities of bandits who daily kill and kidnap citizens of the state, many interpret his comments as a call to continued violence. The candidate of the major opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, speaking in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on Monday, said the comments by Mr Buhari was “unpresidential”. In a statement on Tuesday, the spokesperson of the Buhari campaign organisation, Festus Keyamo, said typical of the Atiku campaign, “they have continued in their favourite pastime of peddling falsehood, scaremongering and misinformation”. Mr Keyamo said the comment by Mr Abubakar accusing the president of promoting violence was false. “The Hausa word the President used in Zamfara, which has been taken out of context, is “fitna”. “Incidentally all our Hausa language scholars have said the word means different things: it means distress, trial, affliction or temptation. It can also be used to describe rebellion or uprising. “In this case, President Buhari was actually weighing in on the joke told very often of recent in the North that due to the rice boom, farmers have embarked on pilgrimage and the marrying of more wives. “So, what the President meant was actually a joke deliberately taken out of context: he simply told the crowd to ensure they eat very well because of the rice boom before they can contemplate giving in to those temptations,” Mr Keyamo said. The campaign spokesperson said even in some private meetings with the campaign team, Mr Buhari has always commented on this joke. “Sadly, out of desperation, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has decided to peddle falsehood. “We urge Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to realize that it is God Almighty that gives power and takes power. He should not use his palpable desperation to return to power (in order to sell Nigeria to his “friends” and to make them rich) to set this nation ablaze by outright falsehood,” Mr Keyamo said. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/312092-buharis-violence-comment-a-joke-campaign-council.html 4 Likes 5 Shares

Most of buhari' supporters know he has nothing to offer again hence to defend him, they have to go forceful. Pmb has failed. As a military president, Nigeria experienced recession. As a civilian president, Nigeria still experienced recession. A man whose wife said, cabals are now in charge of the govt. A man who claims to fight corruption yet dines with Akpabio, Ganduje, Obanikoro...n.b. these names have cases with efcc.Almost all the members of the APC Presidential Campaign Media Directorate operate from the BMC, with the exception of those with appointments. And this excludes Lai Mohammad’s well-oiled lie squad. When a government takes propaganda and mind-management this seriously, you know it’s not ready to change. Good deeds are their own PR. It is when people determine that they don’t want to do good deeds that they resort to mindless propaganda. If only they invested and expended as much energy in managing the economy as they do in propaganda, we won’t be where we are. I have more, but I will stop here for now. 94 Likes 6 Shares |

Buhari is very serious about causing violence after he loses. We've not forgotten about the "dogs and baboons story" that claimed the lives of innocent corpers in the north. But he should not forget that nobody has the monopoly of violence. 55 Likes 5 Shares |

This is simply unpresidential. How can a president instill courage & hope in his citizens suffering the consequences of his cluelessness, incompetency and ineptitude? Does he even know if they truly have food to eat given the deplorable state of the situation in Zamfara State @ present? This is still confirming that the senseless, useless, clueless & incompetent president does not care all the ill governance that have befallen the beleaguered people of Zamfara State. All that matters to Him is the electoral fortune he wish to make from their painful predicament.Very wicked soul.For God sake these people have already had enough bouts of gruesome attacks with attendant senseless maiming of lives, bloodshed, killings and harvest of deaths. After all their equally failed governor was willing asking for a state of emergency to be decleared in his state after he has pocketed the state security votes for 8yrs. Zamfara people you better take your destiny into your hands.Vote out this bag of bone monumental failure of a president. 35 Likes 1 Share |
