Buhari’s Senior aide, Darazo, rallies support for Tinubu, says President was once victim of misrepresentation
 

Mallam Ya'u Darazo, Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Special Duties, has urged Nigerians, especially members of the All Progressives Congress, to ignore the malicious attempt by the opponents of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to misrepresent what he told party leaders and delegates in Abeokuta, Ogun State on Thursday.
 
Darazo, in a statement he signed in his personal capacity as supporter of the presidential ambition of Tinubu, noted that the distortion of what the frontline presidential aspirant said was a dubious attempt to cause discord between him and President Buhari.
 
The Senior Presidential aide started his statement with public disclosure by stating he was speaking for himself as a member of the team working for Tinubu’s campaign.
 
“Let me start with a disclaimer. I am issuing this statement in my personal capacity. This is very important before mischief makers start attributing it to some other persons.
For the avoidance of doubts, I am a supporter of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. I, therefore, belong to the Team assiduously working for Asiwaju’s 2023 Presidential Project. On his mandate I stand!!”
 
While addressing party delegates and supporters in Abeokuta, Tinubu recalled his contribution to the formation of APC and how his support made it possible for President Buhari to be elected President in 2015 having lost in 3 previous attempts in 2003, 2007 and 2011. Tinubu’s address which was made in Yoruba was taking out of context by opponents and mischief makers to damage his standing with the President.
 
Darazo noted in his statement that President Buhari can see through the mischief having being a victim of misresprentation himself in the past and no ill-motivated plot can destroy the relationship between Buhari and Tinubu.
 
“In the last 48 hours or so the media space has been polluted by the odious breath of mischief makers-nay ingrates? Who mispresented Asiwaju’s speech with the sole aim of planting discord between him and President Muhammadu Buhari. In their mischievous mind, that would earn them added advantage in the primaries for the Ticket of the APC.
   
“I have a message for them. They have failed woefully. They should not take Nigerians for granted; Nigerians are wise enough. Let the mischief makers note that, good and purposeful leadership is not on the same page with mischief. It’s good that Nigerians know them early enough. It’s very clear that their purpose of seeking leadership is not service driven.
 
“I was with Asiwaju in Abeokuta among other good people of Ogun State when he delivered the speech in question. It was in Yoruba Language. It was later translated to me—which I found quite acceptable and politically relevant to audience and even beyond. Truth is Sacred. If the mischief makers think that by mispresenting Asiwaju’s Statement they will get the sympathy of the President; they have failed again—and failed woefully.
 
President Buhari is not a stranger to the bashing of media mischief. He is a veteran. He passed through it. He suffered from it like no other leader in this country. When he sees media mischief, he would know it; certainly, like this one against Asiwaju.”
 
Citing examples of how President Buhari had been unfairly misrepresented in the past just to damage him politically, Darazo revealed that Buhari was presented to Nigerians as a religious bigot when he addressed a Muslim event in Sokoto in 2002.
 
“Let me for now give only three examples;
Firstly, few years ago, President Buhari delivered an address in Hausa language to a Muslim event in Sokoto. He urged Muslims to actively participate in politics particularly at the local levels and not only that, they should present some of their best in order to improve the quality governance at the local government and states assembly levels.

The mischief makers went to town propagating that General Buhari as he was then addressed, had urged Muslims to vote Muslims only. Their mission like this one on Asiwaju was to stop General Buhari’s success by putting his opponent on an added advantage.
 
“Secondly, also some few years back in an election of a certain constituency in Kaduna State, members of the defunct ANPP in that constituency mobilised themselves to protect their votes against the serial onslaught and rigging machine of the PDP. At the end of the day, PDP had no alternative but let the then INEC declared ANPP candidate as winner.
After the declaration, the people came to see General Buhari. He addressed them in Hausa language, part of which he humorously quoted the Hausa proverb regarding Baboon and Dog; one defending his life and the other determine to have a meal. Again, the mischief makers went to town misinterpreting his speech. The same way they are now doing against Asiwaju. They said General Buhari was mobilising northerners for bloody and violence election. Again, they wanted to put General Buhari on disadvantage against the PDP candidate.
 
“And thirdly, as far back as 1984 when General Buhari was the Head of State. Some elements within the system, who were against his programmes and therefore determined to discredit him went on to harass late Chief Awolowo and late Sheikh Mahmud Gumi, after which they went into town mischievously propagating that the Head of State had concluded arrangement to detain and humiliate them. Curious enough, some of these elements of the 1984 project are still around. They are very active members of the PDP and are opposing all what President Buhari stood for. These powerful elements are said to have recruited agents within the APC to do two projects for them. Ensure that APC produce a weak candidate that will give PDP a walkover. Secondly to ensure APC produce a Northern candidate so that they will turn round and accuse the President as a Northern irredentist who denied shift of power to the South.

Nice.

Yet some emptyhead Dunderheads still don't know where the APC ticket is going


.

I will be back

For stressing Tinubu before getting the ticket, Adamu, Buhari and Odigie-Oyegun ll be sex starved for 40 days.

Okoroawusa:
I will be back

Make I pour water on your bed.

This Tinubu's last speech clearly showed that all the tour he made travelling from one place to another seeking for delegates wasn't prone to be a success that's why his mind his not at peace with himself.
BUT NIGERIA MEDIA WILL STILL PAINT BLACK WHITE AS USUAL. THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE GOOD AT

I JUST HOPE HE DOESN'T DEVELOP BP AFTER PRIMARY IF HE DOESN'T WIN

Economically, Nigeria has an expenditure problem not revenue. So why not start with a president with a proven track-record of managing resources? Peter Obi is sitting competently ahead of everyone else.

Ok

Oga senior aide are u mad or something?

Una no de tire to blame opposition?

Tinubu is getting this ticket

80% of articles on frontpage these days is politics related.

Peter Obi is the only candidate that will save this country for good.







Let all of us as Nigerians vote for the right candidate. Put religion and tribalism aside, Peter obi is the one.

For Southerners that are not yet braindead, Southern Unity in APC is all that is Needed to save your Land and Generation from been permanently enslaved by the you know who. May be some enjoy being slaughtered like rams by the Invaders, and their wives and daughters being brutally raped, those that can't still see that ALL Southerners MUST Unite to ensure Southern APC Presidency are simply myopic and incorrigibly Senseless.

APC 2023 PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFULS OF DELEGATES — BY ZONE.

1. South East — With 8 Candidates and 288 delegates
2. South West — With 7 Candidates and 411 delegates.
3. South South — With 4 Candidates and 359 delegates.
4. North West — With 2 Candidates and 558 delegates.
5. North Central With 1 Candidate and 363 delegates.
6. North East — With 1 Candidate and 336 delegates.

✓ Northern Nigeria — With 4 Candidates and 1,257 delegates.

✓ Southern Nigeria — With 19 Candidates and 1,068 delegates.

This tells the whole story about the disadvantage of disunity and intra competitiveness within the South as compared to the largely coordinated manipulative North, for those of us, who care to read between the lines.

It is on Record that no Fulani Government ever invited so many Igbo Technocrats from all over the World to join in Governing Nigeria and making Nigeria Great as Obasanjo did. In fact the speedy Greatness and Global Respect which was speedily earned by Nigeria during OBJ Tenure was due to 67% Igbos' Participation in his Government. The truth is Igbos made Nigeria Great then, and we all quickly got back a Glorious Country we were all Proud of!

The most Non-Partisan Regime that brought out the Best in Igbos for the whole World to see was during Obasanjo. The great Uba, Charles Soludo, Okojo Iweala, Kema Chikwe, and so many other wonderful Gifted Igbos shined Bright to the amazement of the whole World, Nigerian Passport then was Visa-free to Many wonderful Countries that I personally visited.

But as soon as Goodluck came in, the Nigeria Globally-celebtated Integrity labouriously built by both Igbos and Yorubas nose-dived and took a free fall. Goodluck killed Nigeria's Glory by encouraging Mediocrity. Combination of Serious-minded Igbos and Yorubas always bring the Best out of Nigeria.

Please, I'm so tired of the disdain with which Immigration Officers of different Countries now look at my Nigerian Passport! The Greatness of Nigeria truly resides in the Political Partnership of Yorubas and Igbos! Let the senseless satanic ego stop, to save our upcoming Generation from being eternally Enslaved! Even Biafra has a better Chance of coming to Reality after both have jointly taken back Power than when the Invaders are still enslaving them because of the Southern myopic Ego!

We Decree that the Satanic Bewitchment that was making Southerners to lose their Chance of True Freedom be Destroyed now by the Consuming Fire of the CREATOR of Humanity

Oshinanjo: Here comes another Chance for serious-minded Igbos and Yorubas to Unite and make Nigeria truly Great again! Even Tinubu is also a better option for all Southerners too. At least the wanton Bloodshed of the Southern People would Stop when either of them comes in. The Time of Southern United chance for Freedom is now! Another Invaders' 8 Years of Tears, EnSlavement, Economy Hardship, Bloodshed and Agony is Unimaginable!!!

Do your Part Today, Copy and Share to all Southerners.

If you are still thinking Tinubu won't get the ticket, then you are on a long thing..

Good

Oga ju, see what North Don do Tinubu for APC. At this point everyone just needs to understand that the north will only befriend you to get opportunities from you and when it's their turn to help you get into power they desert you. They don't like the south ruling over them. It's at this point that Nigeria needs good restructuring. Let the north and south divide.

Even if Tinubu lost out at d final convention, history will write that he fought like no other. There's no day in d last 100days that his name is not mentioned at least 5times in d media.
He is a man. I mean a real man. The more u try to discredit him d more he stands taller.
How bless BAT

Chai ebi like say the emperor of southwest is going to get this ticket..ladies and gentlemen let us put tribe aside Peter obi is the only choice we have left ..personally am from Anambra state, it is after that drunkard came on board that I realised that Peter obi was indeed a huge blessing to my state..peter obi built up Anambra state in a way no matter how useless his successor will be ,he will never lack funds to save face...for PDP to field someone who has been dubious and selfish right from early stage of his public life is evidence they don't want to return to power ...they are only interested in his ill gotten dollars. Remember how useless this government have been please don't vote another failure next year...

only if your brothers can come up with reasonable campaign oriented models like this for obi,he stands some chances...instead of spending all their energy on tinubu when they are not even a member of APC.they are only making tinubu more popular.

Everyone just wanna Stoke fresh headlines from this issue... I think the matter has been overflogged already... The only reactants at this point should be Buhari and Tinubu.
