The Wrong Assertions Of Prof Adewumi, Ex Man O' War Leader On Buhari by MalcoImX: 5:31pm On Jun 20, 2021 |
I will like to respond to two of many wrong assertions in the entry titled "My Tribalistic Encounter With Buhari In 1981 by the Ex Man O' War Leader Prof Ifeolu Adewumi, a 69-year-old academic and former President of the National Union of Voluntary Paramilitary Organisation, Man O’ War, in higher institutions of Nigeriua as he speaks to Kayode Oyero about his encounter with Major General Muhammadu Buhari in 1981. A part of the interview, where he concluded that Buhari was tribalistic goes thus: What transpired during the encounter? I may have called Prof. Adewumi a liar, but found it difficult to address an elder and a senior citizen as such. For that reason, I'd call this view wrong assertions and playing to the gallery. Is University of Ibadan still a regional institution as at 1981? This answer if at all uttered by Adewumi, even silently could as well be regarded as tribalistihc too. And no civilian (a bloody one at that, to use an Army parlance) would talk to a senior military officer as at 1981 with such bravado. I am not saying it was right, but the Army then would regard this as an affront. Recall how Fela fared with OBJ/Buhari or Abiola's encounter with Air force boys. Also, remember that this is a man that had to change the color of Man O' War dress on the word of mouth orders of General Hananiya. Is this the man that'd joust with military men then, I ask you? The Truth About Buhari Not Voting Peter Onu As OAU Secretary General In 1985 The lie has been regurgitated again by the enemies of truth, especially, the iPobians (who probably got it from those working for PDP then - Aribisala, Daggash, and now Adewumi et al.) that Buhari voted against a Nigerian (Peter Onu) becoming OAU Secretary General in 1985 because of tribal considerations, and he voted some Fulani man like him who was from Niger republic.~~ http://newsnow.onlinenigeria.com/news/advt.php?blurb=178123%20&t=%20Facts,%20Fallacies%20of%20Race%20for%20African%20Union%20Commission%20Chairperson ~~ https://ynaija.com/olugbenga-ashiru-nigerias-place-in-africa-is-clear-and-assured/ |

Yoruba man wrote an article or was interviewed to what transpired between him and a fulani. Another Yoruba man is struggling hard to defend the fulani which the older yoruba said was tribalistic. Lol 3 Likes |

The Op wants us to pretend that Bubu is not a tribal bigot. Can you show a credible link that suggest Onu never contested? In any case, you saying Lagos-Ibadan press has been misinforming Nigerians for ages! 1 Like |

And where did you get university of Ibadan from the man's interview. He said Unife and you are saying Ibadan. I know this is deliberate but for what purpose,I don't know. I am sure the man's use of regional has to do with location and not that schools were regional schools,after all,at a time we heard what was called catchment areas. 1 Like |

MalcoImX: First of all, the bigotry is in Buhari asking how many northerners are there and not in the response of Prof Adewumi. That's beside the fact that though OAU was federalized in 1975, till today, its catchment areas according to Jamb which is in charge of admissions is the western region. . Also, note that in 1981, a democratic government was in place which begs why you think he had too much effrontery in replying Buhari who seemed to be the one asking all the questions. You seem to think wearing a Khaki makes one superior to other citizens. Poor in my estimation. As for the Peter Onu story, there are several sides to it but the incontrovertible one is that Buhari supported a Nigerien ( his paternal country according to him) for the post of secretary general. 3 Likes |

Ifearnoevil: He's part of the BMC. It's not possible for one to support Buhari and still have one's reasoning faculty intact. The only similarity anything involving Buhari and brain is just the letter "b" that starts both. |

Agbegbaorogboye: The effrontery would be much even at1981 for him to try that. It may be possible though for some to try that with the Army then. As for Onu, I researched that extensively and found that a subsisting agreement was there amongst the OAU not to contest the chair if the OAU, but to leave it to smaller nations. Here it is either you believe Aribusaka and Daggash or research and find out the exact situation. There are no many sides to it. |

MalcoImX: I Just want to be modest to you. What do you think you know? If one need a research in shallow issue like this, I wonder what the person would employ when an in-depth matter arises. I leave you to ponder on this. |

MalcoImX:How can the effrontery be much when the country was under civilian rule? Are you saying Army are more brutal under civilian than military regime? It doesn't matter. In Nigeria we have Federal character, yet Buhari has flouted that constitutional principle and claimed he's making appointments strictly based on merit. I wonder then what changed in 1984 and 2021. In 1984, he was for African character and unity. In 2021, he is for merit at any cost and marginalization. Duplicity!! |
