P1PrinceKT:
Can you tell his crime according to the Nigeria's Constitution not just sentiment?

If you don't know the meaning of sentiment let me translate it for you.

A sentimental person is a person who relies on emotions more than reason to makes his judgement.

All the terrorist should die no one is arguing that. Including IPOB and UGM

P1PrinceKT:
Ok you can go to court and stop the nonsense.

Do you see any where the news says or any witness that says the attackers were Muslims? Why are you gullible just like that?

At the event in Kaduna where the immediate former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, told some Muslim clerics why he chose to run a Muslim-dominated government in Kaduna State, the former governor also spoke about President Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).

PREMIUM TIMES earlier published the transcript of what Mr El-Rufai said about his decision to promote a Muslim-Muslim governorship ticket in Kaduna. We became aware of the second part of the video after the first part had been published.

Mr El-Rufai made the commenta in Hausa. Below is the English translation.

“Now, a lot has been said about the federal government. It’s true what Professor Akintola said, we the APC governors and we decided that the South should produce the next president because that was the promise that was made. It was a verbal agreement but God knows whether an agreement was written or verbal. When we discovered that some people were scheming that a northerner must be the next president, we said no. This is not what we are. We are Muslims, we’re northerners, we’ve traditions and we can’t back down on our pledges. We said no. That was the first step.

“The next step, when they agreed with that or when they noticed that they could do nothing, they backed down. We sat down to decide on who would be able to win the seat because he has what it takes to win an election and secondly we can bring an end to politics of religion and ethnicity in this country. We decided on Asiwaju (Bola Tinubu). When we took the decision to support Asiwaju, I was not on good terms with him, we were fighting. But Professor Akintola came with their leaders from Lagos and commended us for deciding that a Southerner should emerge. They said the Yoruba in the South-west have problems. When a Muslim wants to contest an election they’ll say he shouldn’t contest because he will not win an election. What they believed was that it’s only a Christian from the South-west who can contest so a Muslim from the North is selected as his vice. They said it has not happened since Abiola; they wanted to replicate that. We asked them to go and decide on who would contest and they said Asiwaju. I told them I’m not on good terms with him but he (Akintola) said we should reconcile for the sake of Islam and I said we will reconcile.

“Asiwaju got the ticket and when he got it we knew he would have no option but to pick a Muslim as his vice; if not, he would lose the election. Just as I said, politics is all about calculation, there is no room for manoeuvre. God knows our intention. And I swear to God we stood our ground to actualise that, we didn’t do it for our gain. Myself and Zamfara State governor, Bello Matawalle, didn’t do it for any gain. Maybe the others needed something but me and Matawalle I did that to bring an end to the religious issue and to give Muslims from the South-west a sense of belonging to rule. And God… despite the religious gang-up, God made Asiwaju the winner.

“What we are able to achieve in Kaduna, we’ve now achieved it on the national level. There is no liar that can say he will do politics of Christianity and win the election. Peter Obi tried it but this is where he is now. We’ve brought an end to that. They’ve kept quiet. Ever since Asiwaju emerged, CAN has remained mute. This is how to ensure peace and stability in this country. If we do it again and again everything will be normal. To God, that was what we did. And some of us believe we’ve finished our work. Asiwaju has won and we’ve done our part. Our call is for you to pray for him to get the right people to work with.”

My post from June 1st, 2025

I've posted all these before, but I want to put everything in one post.

What did Murtala Muhammed do?

Initially, during the First Republic, there wasn't much security around the president and prime minister. Then Tafawa Balewa was killed and it changed everything. There was overwhelming security around Ironsi and Gowon.

Murtala Muhammed changed all of that.

1) He did not move into Dodan Barracks. He continued to live in the official residence of the minister of communications (he was minister of communications in Gowon's government). The house was on 2nd Avenue in Ikoyi.

2) There was no electricity generator in that house. He suffered power outages just like everybody else. Obasanjo and Danjuma had to put a lot of pressure on him to buy a generator, because they thought that it was a security risk.


3) He went to Sandgrouse Market in disguise, in order to find out the prices of things and see how it affected the masses.


4) During the Gowon era, the head of state, first lady and chief of staff (military vice president) often rode in stretch limousines. Murtala stopped the practice. Only the head of state used a stretch limousine.

5) No government official was allowed to use sirens or motorcades. The head of state did not use any sirens or motorcades. He waited in traffic like everyone else.

Murtala Muhammed was killed when his limousine was waiting for traffic at the junction of Bank Road and Ikoyi Road. The assassins opened fire on his limousine and left. His ADC opened the door to return fire and the assassins returned and shot at the limousine again.

There were only 4 people in the car, the driver and orderly in front and the ADC and Murtala at the back. Only the orderly survived (because the driver fell on him when he was shot).

That's why students unions rioted when he was killed.

The Obasanjo Administration resumed the practice of having motorcades and guards for senior government officials.
