Pan-Yoruba socio-po­litical organisation, Afenifere, on Sunday said President Mu­hammadu Buhari is provok­ing Nigerians to go to war so as to pave way for him to declare emergency rule in the country and extend his tenure in office beyond May 29, 2023.

Chief Ayo Adebanjo, the acting national leader of the organisation, who spoke exclusively with Daily Inde­pendent, also condemned the invasion by the Department of State Services (DSS) on the residence of a prominent Yoruba nation agitator, Chief Sunday Adeyemi, aka Sunday Igboho in the Soka area of Ibadan few days ago.

Describing the attack, which left two of Igboho’s aides dead as a constitutional infringement on his liberty, Adebanjo said Buhari’s be­lief was that the attack will trigger a response from the South-Westerners who will then attack every Fulani they come across.

“The attack on Igboho is writing a script and I am saying it positively. Buhari wants to cause war. He is pro­voking the South-West to re­act, thinking that the moment they have done that to Igboho, the Yorubas will go and start killing all the Fulanis in the South-West.

“If that happens, he will now say law and order has broken down and so, he will declare a state of emergency, prolong his tenure in office and begin to rule militarily. That is my projection with the attitude of Buhari”, he said.

Speaking further, he said the president’s refusal to listen to counsels by various groups across the country is what is fueling most of the unrest.

“By refusing to listen to Southern leaders, Afenifere, PANDEF, Northern Elders Fo­rum and others who are say­ing let us sit down peacefully and dialogue, it shows he has a sinister motive.

“Instead of listening to voice of reason, he said he will treat people in the language of war. Is that language a father­ly one? How can the president of a country be so aggressive in attending to issues relat­ing to his subjects? Anybody who opposes his aggressive actions, he will accuse them of plotting to break the coun­try. Who is breaking the coun­try other than the president himself who does not talk in a way that can bring people to­gether? He is fooling people, he cannot fool us”.

Adebanjo also said that he warned Nigerians not to vote for Buhari in 2015 despite his claim that he is now a con­verted democrat. According to him, the president’s utter­ances and actions since com­ing to office in 2015 has shown that he does not have respect for the rule of law.

Lamenting the continued incarceration of the leader of the Islamic Movement in Ni­geria (IMN), Sheikh Ibrahim El Zakzaky, and others de­tained unjustly, Adebanjo said Afenifere and other groups in the country will cry to God to deal with Buhari and put an end to the misrule in the country.

“Nigerians should remem­ber, before they voted for this man in 2014, I said don’t vote for this man because he is a feudalist by birth, a dictator by training and a non-con­formist by action.

“When he came into office in 2015, he said he is now a born-again democrat. What has he done since then to prove that he is a democrat? He is the number one presi­dent in this country who has violated the rule of law with impunity. That is the born-again democrat we have as president.

“El-Zakzaky is still in prison in spite of several pronouncements by local and international courts, the president pretended he doesn’t hear. I can see through Buhari’s attitude provoking every areas to go to war be­cause he has the architecture of security in his hand and he knows that we are powerless.

“That is why he attacked Igboho in that manner think­ing that Yorubas will retal­iate. We will not do that. We will call on God to deal with Buhari. He is believing in his horses and chariots but we will call on Almighty God to come and help us”.

The Afenifere leader also described Femi Adesina, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Buhari as a betrayer of the Yoruba people following his recent statement justifying the actions of his principal.

He said Adesina’s utter­ances since becoming the president’s media aide is at variance with his views be­fore his appointment while behaving as if the President will remain in power forever.

SmartPolician:
Buhari has mismanaged this country. I know that the desire for Nigerians to leave the country in search of better opportunities (green pastures) is a normal thing, but it has never been as loud as it is now.

Even a friend who vigorously campaigned for Buhari in 2015 has relocated to the UK, saying he wants to maintain his sanity and protect the future of his kids. There's no future in Nigeria - thanks to tribalistic and religious sentiments.

NwaEzefuNaMba:
No president will fold his hands & watch secessionists destroy his country.

"...President Muhammadu Buhari has thrown his weight behind the people of Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, SADR, otherwise called Western Sahara, stating that Nigeria would ensure the realization of their self-determination and independence.

He however said the secession would be pursued in full recognition of the several extant resolutions of the African Union, AU, on the right of the Sahrawi people for self-determination......"
