Another PDP format. Looking for all means to discredit the opposition. PDP dividing Nigeria along religious and ethnic lines since 1999.


When PDP campaigns in the South, they accuse Buhari of fanaticism and trying to Islamize Nigeria. When PDP campaigns in the North, they accuse Buhari of trying to Christianize the North that he has chosen Osinbajo a Christian controlling 5000 churches ad his running mate.
I can't help but shed tears after reading ur comment....you use your head, think put sentiments aside...then read your comments again and I'm sure you will see it makes no sense. People fought for our unity, people suffered to keep us united. And now one man is threatening it and you obviously keep seeing these facts from a political point of view......it is not!!! Buhari is Nigeria's problem and he is on a revenge mission to sieze power by all means.....he is xo desperate that even the blind can see and th deaf can hear it

PoliticsAn Open Letter To General Muhammadu Buhari by Natureboyraph(op): 1:16pm On Jan 19, 2015
A NIGERIAN YOUTH WROTE THIS LETTER TO
BUHARI
"Sir, let us examine your service records. I
consider your generation a very privileged one,
indeed. In 1975 at the age of 33, you were
appointed the Military Governor of the North-
Eastern State, present day Borno & Yobe states.
In 1976 at the age of 34 you became the Minister
for Petroleum and Natural Resources. In 1978 at
the age of 36 you became the Chairman of the
Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
Today the reverse is the case. Most Nigerians at
age of 35 are still unemployed and still living with
parents. Many are still not married. During your
time you were already Governor at this age. One
major reason for this unfortunate turn of events is
that many elders like you have refused to
voluntarily handover the baton to the next
generation. Life should be a relay race where one
runs his race and hands over to the next. In
Nigeria many elders like you have run their races
and are still holding on tenaciously to the baton.
But Sir, I have an important question here for you.
The question is simple, MUST YOU SERVE
NIGERIA AS A PRESIDENT ONLY? IS THERE NO
OTHER CAPACITY YOU CAN SERVE US EXCEPT
THE PRESIDENCY? It is very erroneous to imagine
that you can only serve Nigeria only in one
capacity. During the regime of late General Sani
Abacha, you accepted the appointment to serve
as the Chairman of the then Petroleum Trust
Fund PTF. The general opinion was that you
served faithfully in this capacity. Well done Sir!
But you never asked Abacha to vacate office for
you as your former subordinate in the army.
Never! In fact that would have been a dangerous
move, if not suicidal. Rather you served faithfully
under your former junior in the army. Sir, imagine
if you take on another job like the Chairman of
EFCC or ICPC or NDLEA. Nigerians actually need
you to serve in one of these capacities much
more than they need you in the Presidency. Mere
mentioning your name as Chairman of EFCC
would drive many corrupt men underground. But
you wouldn’t . Either the Presidency or nothing.
When are you going to handover to the next
person? It is either you do it voluntarily or risk
disgrace at the polls.
In 1983 at the age of 41, you became the Head of
State. Most Nigerians in my age have not had the
opportunity to serve, but we still remain
committed to the Nigerian project. You should
rather be graceful to God and to Nigerians for the
numerous opportunities that have come your way
to serve Nigerians. Others are begging for just
one opportunity to serve. Sir, you have to accept
the stark reality on ground that you have served
your time already. That is life for you. You run the
race, you handover the baton for others to run,
you cannot hold on to the baton more than is
necessary. As a former head of State you are
already a member of the Council of State
Meeting. You have every avenue to channel your
views across. You don’t necessarily have to be in
a front-line role, you can serve in an advisory
capacity. That is still service.
In conclusion, It is crystal clear that you cannot
defeat President Jonathan in a free, fair and
credible election, even in Katsina State.
Sentiments aside, Jonathan would cruise to a
landslide victory come February 14th, 2015. In
fairness to you Sir, any of your Children would
pose a serious challenge to Jonathan more than
yourself. I do not see Nigerians electing a 72 year
old former Head of state to lead us in this Digital
era. With due respect to you Sir, you belong to the
Analogue age and is not fit as president in this
digital era. This is the blunt truth. Please do not
enter the Guinness book of world records on a
negative note. Losing four consecutive
Presidential election would not augur well for your
reputation. It is in your best interest to assume
your position as an elder statesman and allow
others to serve. Nigeria does not belong to you
alone. It belongs to us all"

WHY BUHARI CAN NEVER RULE NIGERIA

OPINION: Buhari, The Truth Is Bitter

With few weeks before the all important presidential elections hold across Nigeria, political parties are intensifying their campaigns across the country to win over electorates.



The candidates of the two major political parties, Gen Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, APC and President Goodluck Jonathan of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, have been moving all over the country in a bid to sell their manifestos to voters.

Only on Thursday, while Gen Buhari was campaigning in Osun State, western Nigeria, President Jonathan was in Abakaliki in Ebonyi state wooing undecided voters to cast their votes for the ruling party.

However, Abba Mahmood, a renowned political analyst, has called on APC presidential candidate Gen. Buhari not to expect the result of next month’s presidential polls to be different from that of 2011 which was won by President Jonathan.



The renowned social commentator in an opinion he titled: “Buhari, The Truth Is Bitter”, explained how the former Head of State had failed in his bid to rule Nigeria when he contested against former President Olusegun Obasanjo in 2003, the late President Umaru Yar’Adua in 2007 and Jonathan in 2011.

According Mahmood, only a fool will continue to play the same card over and over again and expect a different result.

Below is the full text of the opinion piece:

In Hausa-Fulani culture, the greatest calamity that can befall an individual is not to have someone who can tell that individual the truth when the need arises. That is why if anyone did anything unbecoming they would say “wane don rashin mafadi ne yayi haka?” meaning “is it because of lack of anyone who can tell the person the truth that he or she did that?” There is also a popular saying that the truth is bitter. Today, I intend to tell the bitter truth even though I am pained to do so. A time comes in the life of any nation or individual when there remain only two choices: keep quiet and continue to go on the wrong path or talk and act to get a solution. This is the time we are now, and the truth is always bitter.

On page 6 of Daily Trust newspaper of Monday, August 12, 2013, there is a story entitled “Buhari: Contesting in 2015 is an obligation” in which it is said: “Former Head of State General Muhammadu Buhari has said he will run for president again as the race for 2015 general elections begins to pick up momentum. ‘It is a must obligation on me’, he told a political group, the Kano State Political Movement, whose members paid him Sallah homage at the weekend in Kaduna”. Haba! Is it really true? Indeed, there is need to tell the bitter truth.



General Buhari ought to be reminded that his main asset is his integrity. He had come out in tears during the 2011 presidential campaign to tell the whole world that 2011 was the last time he would ever contest any election again. What has really changed between then and now to warrant his change of mind? Where is Buhari’s integrity if he could go back on his words at this time of his life? Does it mean that the merger his party entered into recently is just for him to contest for the presidency and not for any patriotic reason? The truth is bitter.

Four decades ago, Buhari became governor of the defunct North-Eastern State, now six states, under the Murtala/Obasanjo regime. Over three decades ago, Buhari became Nigeria’s head of state! Does it mean for all these years he has groomed and mentored no one and that out of the 170 million Nigerians today, no one is worthy of continuing from where Buhari has stopped, such that he alone can do what he has in mind? The truth is bitter.

General Buhari contested against his senior, by age and military rank, Obasanjo in 2003. He then contested against his younger brother, Umaru Yar’Adua, in 2007. He again contested against one who could go for his son, Jonathan, in 2011. In all these, there were three different contests each: general election, electoral tribunal, and Supreme Court — making it about nine times — and in each he did not succeed. Why this desperation to be president to the point of “a must” obligation in 2015? Only God gives power at the time He wants. The truth is bitter.

As Buhari and incumbent President Jonathan contests again in next month’s presidential elections, it will be a repeat of the 2011 bitter contest between the two. Is the nation ready for that, and what are the consequences of that contest to national stability when we are yet to properly heal the wounds of the last one? The 2011 presidential election turned out to be the most divisive; we can only imagine what the outcome will be if the same actors repeat it. The truth is bitter.



The electoral worth of a politician is measured by how he or she is able to consistently win elections. When General Buhari joined the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) in 2013, the party had nine governors. By the time he left for the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), the ANPP had only three governors! The CPC contested election for the first time in 2011. They ended up with only one state governor, Al-Makura of Nassarawa — even that was elected on his personal recognition and not any other factor. That is why the CPC has only four State Assembly members out of 24 in Nassarawa. In any case, Buhari’s party has never won in his home state of Katsina since he joined politics. These are facts and the truth is bitter.

There are two fallacies in the Nigerian political arena today. The first is that there will be renewed crisis in the Niger Delta if President Jonathan is not allowed to go beyond 2015. But, objectively speaking, with higher oil theft than at any time in the history of Nigeria, has the Jonathan presidency really solved the crisis? Oil bunkering and piracy are on the rise under this regime than at any time in the history of Nigeria. But the truth is better.

The second fallacy is that, politically, Buhari owns the northern states. Ambassador Campbell in the updated version of his book, Nigeria Dancing on the Brink, clearly states that most of the powerful traditional rulers in the north do not support Buhari. Even the British colonialists found it expedient to rule through the traditional institutions, the so-called “Indirect Rule”. How can anyone or even any government make any headway without them? The truth is bitter.



Gen. Buhari suspended the Ooni of Ife and the Emir of Kano, two of the most powerful traditional rulers in Nigeria, when he was military head of state. That is what the entire traditional institution has against him. If he doesn’t have the traditional rulers, then, is it his military colleagues that he has? Or is it the business class that he has? Or is it the religious class that he has? Or is it the political class that he clamped in detention as military leader that he has now? Tell me, if he does not have the support of all these, then, is it the street urchins who hardly register to vote or are not even properly taught how to vote that he has to win? This is the problem, but the truth is bitter.

Like the late Mallam Aminu Kano, General Buhari is an inspirational leader. He should remain a statesman, having paid his dues as governor, petroleum minister, head of state and PTF chairman in the past decades. The time for him to give a chance to others has come. He should forget about any contest again as he had earlier promised so as to retain his integrity as a man of his words. Believe me, regardless of any party, if it is Buhari, the outcome will always be the same because he is the perennial candidate that will always make the non-performing PDP keep winning, merger or no merger, because some people have already formed an opinion of him, erroneously in my view. And there is nothing that can change that opinion.

Only a fool will continue to play the same card over and over again and expect a different result. We have to really be honest with ourselves. It is only one who loves Buhari that can tell him the truth and this column which he cherishes is known for telling the truth, however bitter. God save Nigeria
