GEJ Till 2019.......

As a secondary school leaver in the 1980s, I
was old enough to know that there was a
difference between democratic government
and military regime. I remember vividly,
December 31, 1983, when the voice of the
then Brigadier Sani Abacha jolted Nigerians
from sleep, as he announced the overthrow
of the government of President Shehu
Shagari, just three months after general
elections. I was knowledgeable enough to
know that there was no vote cast for the
then Major General Muhammadu Buhari
and Brigadier Tunde Idiagbon to take over
government, as Head of State and Chief of
Staff, Supreme Headquarters, respectively. I
was old enough to know that there was no
electioneering in the open, at least, as was
the case in the re-election of Shagari, for the
Buhari/Idiagbon regime to be in place. I
knew the difference.
With the Buhari government in place and entrenched in1984, I knew that a lot of things were happening. I knew about the War Against
Indiscipline (WAI), a programme aimed at
instilling discipline in Nigerians and making
them do things orderly. I knew about the
jailing of two journalists under Decree 4, for
publishing something the military
government considered embarrassing. I
knew about the execution of three Nigerians
at the Lagos Bar Beach for drug offences. I
knew about the kidnap of Alhaji Umaru
Dikko in London and the attempt to
forcefully bring him back, in a crate, to
Nigeria from United Kingdom. I knew about
the change of the currency and the 55
suitcases controversy. I knew about the
jailing of some civilian governors and
politicians for corrupt practices. These were
all deeds of the Buhari military government.
Even as a 19-year-old at that time in Aba, in
the old Imo State, I knew that the Buhari
government was vehement in its actions. I
saw a lot of actions, even if the results were
not seen. In the face of the austerity
measures/belt tightening established by the
Buhari military government and the
attendant shockwaves that came with it,
local people in Aba changed Buhari’s name
to Buharia. This means, in Igbo, reshuffle.
Buharia, however, was not used as a
compliment but as a connotation of change
for the worse, as hardship did bite the Aba
people harder, as in other places in the
country. There was even a Buharia Market, a
business centre in Aba that was conceived as
a result of the relocation of traders
displaced overnight from their original
business point and taken to a marshy and
waterlogged area, close to East Street.
Today, as the All Progressives Congress (APC)
presidential candidate, General Buhari,
moves round the country, chanting “change”
and asking for votes, in his quest to become
president, I cannot but remember Buharia,
which the Aba people shouted about in
1984/85. Yes, I see Buharia when I look at
the disposition of Buhari over certain things.
I have wondered if the arrogance, which
Buhari exhibits, knowingly or unknowingly, is
really good for the presidency of Nigeria. At
present, there’s a controversy over his WASC
certificate, even if his political party, the APC,
would rather see it as non-issue. Where a
convincing explanation is required, Buhari
would rather see the certificate saga as a
non-issue or mischief. In fact, the way he
dismissed it, saying he only agreed to talk
about it because of persuasion from people
smacks of disdain.
As I said in a previous article, nobody,
including Buhari, is above explanation, no
matter how highly the person thinks of
himself. In the country, a one-time Speaker
of the House of Representatives had had to
resign when his certificate became an issue.
He knew that this was about the integrity of
the House and the office of Speaker. He
resigned and apologised. It was possible that
if the former Speaker had sat tight, nobody
could have impeached or removed him from
office. But he chose to quit, to save the
House the trouble. Nobody is asking Buhari
to do what Hon. Salisu Buhari of the House
of Representatives did, over the Toronto
University saga. However, as long as he is a
leader, he owes Nigeria explanation on
anything so demanded of him, including his
certificate, whether he considers it
mischievous or serious enough.
It’s this same feeling of self-importance that
makes Buhari not to attend Council of State
meetings for a long rime. When I heard that
Buhari attended yesterday’s meeting in
Abuja, my question was: So, he could
actually be part of this meeting? This is
interesting. However, it’s obvious that if the
meeting was not going to discuss what would
have affected him (the holding of the
elections next week), Buhari would be
absent. Somebody once asked me what was
the big deal attending Council of State
meeting, in reaction to my earlier article on
Buhari’s consistent absence. The answer is
now obvious. Now, we know why Buhari
should be attending. If he thought the
meeting is not necessary, he could have
stayed away yesterday while the esteemed
body decided his fate, as it affected the
election. But he did attend because he knew
it would benefit him. I will continue to say
that Buhari’s attitude of not attending
statutory meetings with other former
president/heads of state and others is not a
good testimony of a man who wants to be
president. If Buhari becomes president,
perhaps, he would be happy if other former
presidents/heads of state don’t attend the
Council of State meeting. Or wouldn’t he?
I see Buharia when I remember that Buhari
could have foisted on Nigeria a Muslim/
Muslim ticket in this presidential race. When
he stated in an interview that he did not
mind a Muslim/Muslim ticket, of course,
some of us dismissed it. But how wrong were
we? Our former head of state, who ought to
know that in a multi-ethnic and multi-
religious country, as Nigeria, balance is
necessary, was bent on a Muslim/Muslim
ticket. According to former Lagos State
Governor, Bola Tinubu, Buhari actually
wanted him to be his running mate in the
2015 race but he declined because he felt
that his personal ambition was far less than
the peace and stability of the country. With a
Tinubu as running mate, it could have been a
Muslim/Muslim ticket. That was what Buhari
wanted. After all, he has not disputed
Tinubu’s revelation. For the avoidance of doubt,
Tinubu had said:
“There came a time during the course of the events when our presidential candidate, General
Muhammadu Buhari, offered the vice
presidential slot to me. Being a normal
human being, I was deeply moved and
honoured that he would consider me for the
position. Being a patriot, I had to weigh my
potential candidacy in all of its dimensions.
“I have concluded that the interest of the
party, our campaign and of the nation are
better served if I retain my position as the
National Leader of the APC, allowing me to
be a bridge builder across all divides.
Although I declined the position, I want to
thank General Buhari for extending the
honour to me. Despite all the noise and
opposition around my possible selection, he
stood firm and steadfast. He showed the
traits of a leader in holding to a decision he
believed was right despite the errant plots
against it.
“When my name was raised, the political
hatchet men tried to chop it down with
rumour and lies. Over the years, I have
developed a thick skin. The personal attacks
did not bother me. I am used to them. While
I have a thick skin, I don’t have a thick mind.
There has been one form of attack that has
troubled me. That is the attack based on
religion. The PDP and others have stoked
fear of a Muslim-Muslim ticket.
“Some may call what I have done a sacrifice.
I call it otherwise. It is my patriotic
contribution and duty. I do so with a happy
and uplifted heart and clear conscience
because I have committed myself to seeking
the best for this nation before seeking what
is good for myself.”
Would a Muslim/Muslim ticket have gone
down well with most Nigerians? Could it
have shown that Nigeria is a secular nation?
Could it have erased or amplified the belief
that Buhari is pro-Islam, especially when the
allegation that he once asked Muslims to
vote for only Muslims in 2011 is still an issue
not cleared. Yes, Buhari is yet to deny or
confirm that he ever called for the
institutionalisation of Sharia across the
country. Does he owe Nigerians an
explanation on this? Of course, yes.
It has often been said that some Nigerians
are angry with Buhari over his actions while
he was head of state when there should
have been forgiveness. I agree that there
should be forgiveness. However, the
question remains: What about Buhari
himself? It took Buhari many years to say he
had forgiven General Ibrahim Babangida,
who removed him from office. For years,
Buhari was angry with Babangida for staging
a coup against him and placing him under
house arrest. Now he says he has forgiven
Babangida but would not forget. However, if
there is anybody that would demand
forgiveness, it’s President Shehu Shagari,
who Buhari overthrew from office. Yes,
Shagari was duly elected, but Buhari
truncated his government. It’s Shagari that
should be angry with Buhari. There is no
record that Buhari has ever said that
overthrowing a democratic government is
wrong. It’s, therefore, out of place for him to
be angry with Babangida since he is also
guilty of aborting a government.
Of course, I see Buharia when I look at the
age of Buhari. At 73 and being a former head
of state, Buhari should be playing the role of
a statesman. Being a former head of state
before and aspiring to be president again, in
the fourth attempt, is like telling us that no
other person can do it. Besides, following the
APC argument that Lagos voters should not
support a seemingly “old man” in the PDP
governorship candidate, who would be
“sleeping in meetings,” as against its younger
candidate, the same principle should apply
at the federal level. If a 58-year-old Lagos
governorship candidate would be sleeping at
meetings because of his age, a 73-year-old
president may not even get out of bed to
attend meetings. However, if we will not
worry about Buhari’s age, maybe we should,
as a former United States president once
said about an old man who aspired to lead
the country, worry “about the age of his
ideas.” Whichever one, whether we should
worry about Buhari’s age or the age of his
idea, now is certainly not time to have a
septuagenarian president.
Well, some people say that Buhari’s
candidature is good because with him
security challenge and corruption in the
country would be solved. This is fine.
However, there’s something to worry about
this. If we have to bring a former army
General to be president because the country
has security and corruption challenges, what
happens after solving these problems, vis-à-
vis other challenges? Perhaps, with our
lingering economic problem, we have to
bring an economist, as president to solve the
economy problems. And when bad roads
become a major problem, we would bring an
engineer to solve it.
Come to think of it, what really have been
the contributions of Buhari to the socio-
political development of the country since
he left office in 1985? I have not seen him
chair much major national events, like other
former presidents/heads of state do. I do
not see him on international diplomacy for
the country or the United Nations or African
Union (AU), as other former presidents/
heads of state. I have not seen him make
major comments on socio-economic and
political development in the country, to help
in shaping policy or governance, apart from
when he’s running for president. What I see
is a man who goes into his shelf after
elections, since 2003. And in between
elections, nobody hears from him much.
Nigerians only hear from him when elections
come near. What do you make of such a
leader?

She is devilish..She needs to pay for this

The Independent National Electoral Commission
on Saturday said only the courts could disqualify a
former Head of State and Presidential candidate of
the All Progressives Congress, Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari (retd.), ahead of the 2015 general elections.
The commission, which said there was nothing it
could do in the matter, also said it had not
received any petition against President Goodluck
Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party, Buhari
and other presidential candidates, more than
seven days after displaying their particulars.
The Director of Voter Education and Publicity in
INEC, Mr. Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, in an interview with
our correspondent, said the commission could not
go beyond its constitutional powers.
“What do you want INEC to do? INEC cannot
disqualify anybody and there is nothing we can do.
We don’t have any power to disqualify him.He
didn’t bring it (certificates) and so there is nothing
INEC can do. INEC cannot disqualify him and
cannot remove his name. It is only the courts that
can disqualify him, if they feel there is something
wrong that he has done. I am not aware of any
(petition); none that I am aware of for now. I am
not aware of any (petition). I am not aware of any
so far,” Osaze-Uzzi said.
Buhari had in an affidavit which he deposed to at a
High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja,
explained that all his academic credentials were
with the Secretary, Military Board.
The affidavit deposed to at the FCT High Court and
dated November 24, 2014, was stamped and
received by INEC on December 18, 2014.
“All my academic qualifications documents as
filled in my presidential form, President
APC/001/2015 are currently with the Secretary,
Military Board as of the time of this affidavit. The
affidavit is made in good faith and for record
purpose”, Buhari stated.
The Nigerian Army had said it would readily
release credentials and certificates in its custody
to serving and retired officers whenever they
apply for it.
The Director, Army Public Relations, Brig.-Gen.
Olajide Laleye, had while reacting to Buhari’s claim
in his affidavit, said that his credentials were with
the military.
He said the procedure for the retrieval or
collection of the certificates was known to all
serving or retired officers of the military.
He said, “Every serving and retired Army officer
has, at least, a copy of his certificates and
credentials kept with the Nigerian Army while that
same serving and retired officer has copies of
those same certificates and credentials.
“And there is a laid-down procedure to request for
certificates. It is known to any serving and retired
officer. If you want anything checked in your file,
you simply follow the due process and it would be
given to you because the credentials belong to
you.”
“The Nigerian Army does not refuse to give
anybody his credentials if the due process is
followed. Now, take note of this. Not only does the
Nigerian Army keep these things, the individual
officers, whether serving or retired, have copies.”
Also speaking, the Chief Press Secretary to INEC
Chairman, Mr. Kayode Idowu, said he was not
aware of any petition against any of the
presidential candidates.
