Politics / EXCLUSIVE: Why Tinubu Should Not Be Nigeria’s President, Obasanjo Loyalists Say by ishiamu(m): 1:00pm On Feb 26, 2021 |
Some loyalists and aides of former President Olusegun Obasanjo have explained why neither they nor their principal would support the 2023 presidential ambition of a former Governor of Lagos State and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu. The aides who spoke with SaharaReporters stated that Tinubu, despite the network of supporters and proxies drumming support for him for the 2023 presidency, he is not the ideal candidate to lead the country at the moment. Although the APC leader has not officially declared his ambition to run for presidency, many political godsons and opportunists are already in the forefront of negotiations, meeting with stakeholders first in the South-West region. A former Political Adviser to former President Obasanjo, Mr Akin Osuntokun, said he had told Tinubu straightaway that he would not support his presidential ambition. He said, “I told him specifically the last time I saw him that if the Presidency in their thinking is bringing power to the South, there is no excuse for depriving the Igbo the chance. Look, you have built a nation on shared aspiration and principles. I don’t know any interpretation of one Nigeria. If anybody says he is interested in the unity of Nigeria, it should not just be a vacuum decision; now we have an opportunity to do what is right. “How do you justify Obasanjo’s eight years as President and (Prof Yemi) Osinbajo’s eight years as Vice President and you then take it back to the South-West? Is that fair; is that equitable? “Look, he (Tinubu) has an advantage in the fact that he can more than finance the adventure, but first, my personal reference is what I have told you and I have told him. “I heard that Buhari told him that he would not support a southern Muslim to succeed him. It is said that the Vice President in 2023 is coming to the North and would be a Muslim and the North has settled that; so, if you bring a Muslim from the South-West (Tinubu), you will bring a religious crisis to a country that is potentially volatile. Do you want to have a Muslim-Muslim ticket? “I have told him straight out that I am not supporting him. And I told him face to face that I am supporting Igbo presidency. Former President Obasanjo would never support him. Rule that out completely.” When contacted, the Obasanjo’s spokesperson, Mr Kehinde Adeyemi, simply said, “No comment.” However, another loyalist of the former President, who did not want his name in print, noted that for the sake fairness, the presidency should not go to Tinubu in 2023. He said, “There must be equity, fairness and if we want this country to remain, a country cannot be sustained on power politics of ‘I do it because I can’. No, it is shared aspiration and goodwill. “What Tinubu and others are planning is power politics. I think the thing about this kind of contest is that those who think they can benefit materially from it will say it is Tinubu and that he is able and things like that.” Having assessed the former Lagos governor in his (Obasanjo) book as “one of the worst cases” of corruption, it is obvious that former President Obasanjo might not support Tinubu’s 2023 ambition. In Obasanjo’s three-volume book, My Watch, he explained how Tinubu allegedly soiled the career of a former Presidential candidate of the then Action Congress of Nigeria in the 2011 general elections, and former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Nuhu Ribadu. Obasanjo wrote, “One can then imagine my feeling when the same Nuhu became the one seeking Bola Tinubu’s endorsement for the Presidential candidacy. Was it poor judgment, desperate ambition or what? Bola was not a fool, he got what he wanted; to be whitewashed. Nuhu got out of it bruised as his credibility as a corruption crusader got somewhat tainted. What a lesson did I learn about human beings in such a situation? “When Nuhu attended the wedding of my son, Bisoye, in November 30, 2013, which was the first time he summed up courage after his co-habitation with Bola Tinubu, he admitted it was a mistake and added that one learns from one’s mistake. Unfortunately, Nuhu would do it again by hopping from APC to PDP (Peoples Democratic Party) to contest the governorship in Adamawa State. If the first time was a mistake, how many mistakes will make them a habit or character trait? “Nuhu basked at one time in the success of his work that his name struck fear in corrupt people. He enjoyed prestige abroad and respect mixed with fear at home. He moved on the governors and anybody on whom he received cogent petition. He trusted his staff but I warned him against trusting too deeply because I got information that one of his staff, whom he relied on so much, had been compromised in Lagos. “I advised him to check and crosscheck. Obviously, petitions never stopped coming to EFCC particularly on the governors. Nuhu tried to investigate almost all of them to the best of my understanding. At a time, he publicly announced that 28 out of 36 governors were either manifestly corrupt or had been tainted in one way or the other. He gave me a copy of his report on those governors. Bola Tinubu was definitely one of the worst cases.” SaharaReporters had on Tuesday reported how Tinubu had court cases around massive frauds hanging on his neck dating as far back as 1998. The delay of the cases had raised questions on how the former governor struggled to escape the axe of the law. For example, in February 18, 2009, SaharaReporters had obtained original copies of a judgment in the case of United States versus Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in which Tinubu was charged (along with other defendants) in a case of massive drug trafficking and money laundering http://saharareporters.com/2021/02/26/exclusive-why-tinubu-should-not-be-nigeria%E2%80%99s-president-obasanjo-loyalists-say |

Politics / BMC, Media Outlets Circulate Fake News Claiming EU Commended Buhari by ishiamu(m): 1:59pm On Dec 22, 2020 |
The European Union’s purported felicitation of the Buhari administration’s heroics in ensuring the swift release of 344 pupils seized by bandits in Katsina, has been found to be a sham. A letter of commendation from the ‘European Union Human Rights Forum (EUHRF)’ — claimed to have been authored by ‘Joseph Cullen, Special Rapporteur, Lake Chad, West Africa’ — gained massive traction amongst Nigerian media outlets on Sunday, two days after officials announced the release of the pupils. The spoof group also purportedly excoriated former President Goodluck Jonathan for his poor handling of the abducted Chibok girls in 2014. Nigerian Tribune, Leadership, The Nation, The Cable, Channels and The Guardian were amongst the media outlets that were caught in the hoax. Checks by Peoples Gazette, however, showed that both the purported EUHRF and Mr. Cullen’s designation do not exist and definitely have no affiliation to the European Union. An excerpt from the falsified congratulatory message, which appeared to have triggered its circulation was first tweeted by Babangida Buharist (@jarmari01) — a handle linked to President Buhari’s support group BMC, before it was reposted the same day by presidential aide Bashir Ahmad. The deliberate falsehood perpetuated by the Buhari administration has been severely censured by a cross-section of Nigerians, who cringe at how low the government could stoop in adulating itself with propaganda. Information minister Lai Mohammed had strongly denounced claims that the abduction was choreographed in a bid to score political points over the preceding administration. Mr. Mohammed argued that the president, whom he said suffered “many sleepless nights” until the kids were freed, could not have staged their kidnap to deepen the military’s woes. But the circulation of fake news, which Mr. Mohammed has spent the last few years railing against, has become prevalent amongst members of the administration. Last week alone, presidential spokesman Garba Shehu was forced to apologise for distributing fake news claiming only 10 schoolboys were abducted in Katsina, apparently in a bid to control information and downplay the crisis to make his principal look good. A few days later, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, a top official at foreign affairs also distributed fake news about the boys’ release. She failed to apologise, claiming a breach of her Twitter account. The boys were later released by their abductors, but it was after Mrs. Dabiri-Erewa’s false announcement. https://peoplesgazette.com/katsina-students-bmc-media-outlets-circulate-fake-news-claiming-eu-commended-buhari/ |

Politics / INEC Oficial Known For Conductin ‘violent, Fraudulent Elections’ Deployed To Edo by ishiamu(m): 6:28pm On Sep 14, 2020 |
Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, has approved the deployment of five Resident Electoral Commissioners to Edo ahead of the September 19 governorship election in the state Among those posted to Edo is Kano State REC, Prof Riskuwa Shehu, known to have conducted one of the most violent and fraudulent governorship elections in Nigeria. Shehu was also involved in the November 16 Kogi State governorship election. Recall that the 2019 governorship election in Kano supervised by Arab-Shehu was marred by violence and fraud in which about 10 people were reportedly killed. Few days before polls, a video showing the state chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Abbas, describing the election as “do or die” went viral on the Internet. In the short video, the party chairman also assured supporters that his party would provide maximum protection for members even if it means ensuring the dismissal of police officers who try to restore order. Despite widespread reports of violence in the election, Arab-Shehu declared the governorship candidate of the APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, winner of the governorship election. Ganduje had earlier lost the first election held on March 9 by about 26,000 votes, but his total votes in the two polls put him ahead of his main challenger -- candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party -- Abba Yusuf. Thugs, many of whom donned tags of the APC, attacked journalists covering the exercise. A source told SaharaReporters that Arab-Shehu was deliberately posted to Edo by the INEC Chairman despite the fact that he rigged election in favour of the APC in Kano State. "He was posted there for a reason, he is the mastermind of violent rigging of Kano rereun election, in which women were raped and opposition voters prevented from casting their votes. "Prof Mahmud Yakubu deliberately posted him to Edo despite the compromising fact that Ganduje is leading APC’s campaign. This is a man that is widely known to be partisan and close to Ganduje,” the source said. http://saharareporters.com/2020/09/13/inec-official-known-conducting-%E2%80%98violent-fraudulent-elections%E2%80%99-deployed-edo-oversee
