Buhari's negative records continues to manifest in every sector that even a goat can do better than him. Nigeria has been destroyed beyond redemption by this heartless Junta. Only God can save us

What does one expect from a Nigeria which has a large number of well-educated people but has a Buhari as its President?

Nigeria’s fraudulent political structure created by northern soldiers enables the north to produce president, and it gives us the likes of Buhari as president - at every turn.

Emperormartin:
This man is fastly becoming a role model to many. And Nigeria don't like those that say the truth

The only group of people against gov Ortom is the Islamist group in the 12 northern Nigeria’s sharia states that adopted unconstitutional Islamic Sharia criminal justice system and are using Nigeria’s federal government institutions to pursue the agenda of Fulanization and Islamization of Nigeria.

ItsTutsi:
On what basis will they do that! Both region have logical and rational argument

Politics is beyond beer parlour rethorics boy and emotions !

North has ruled Nigeria since 1960 independence till 1999.
North has no rational argument to delete those long years of northern rule and begin the history of political leadership of Nigeria in 1999.
PDP needs to field a southern presidential candidate. Let APC field another northern candidate or a candidate from the SW; let see which regions shall vote for APC and the political status quo in Nigeria to continue.

tutudesz:
Same old story of the west funding terrorist

But this one is over-funding for Islamists.

The US Democratic Party government is on it.
The government is even sending Tucano fighters to Boko Haram in Nigeria via the Islamists-led government of Nigeria.

Who in the US leadership circle has not heard that president Buhari of Nigeria said in 2001 in Kaduna, that he would not stop fighting until Islamic Sharia criminal laws are used all over Nigeria?

Nigerians should be getting ready to receive Taliban treatment before long. Because after Buhari in 2023, a like or even worse than Buhari is taking over from Buhari

Ask PDP people who want Atiku or Tambuwal to succeed PMB.

In the coming days, the National Executive Committee, NEC, of Peoples Democratic Party, will be appoint a chairman and other members of the National Zoning Committee for various national offices in the party ahead of its October 30 and 31 National Convention.

The Zoning Committee is also expected to decide which region, between the north and south, should be given the right to produce the next National Chairman and Presidential Ticket of the party for the 2023 election. It is expected for one of the two regions to the National Chairman of the party while the other get the party's presidential ticket for 2023 election; which means potentially producing the next President of Nigeria. This is because no region can get both simultaneously in substantive capacity.

While it is easier for the the party to decide the region to zone its chairmanship to, same cannot be said of its presidential ticket. This is because stakeholders from the two regions are making strong argument on why the party should zone the ticket to their region.

The Arguments of Northern Stakeholders
Northern stakeholders and aspirants of the party have argued that of the 16 years that PDP was in government, the south held sway for 13½ years through Chief Olusegun Obasanjo (southwest) and Dr Goodluck Jonathan (southsouth), leaving the north, through the late Umaru Musa Yar'adua from northwest with only 2½ years.

They further argued that of the 6 candidates that the party sponsored in presidential election, the south enjoyed 4 through Obasanjo (1999 and 2003) and Jonathan (2011 and 2015), while the party only sponsored candidates of the north on two occasions through Yar'adua (northwest) and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar (northcentral).

Thirdly, the north argued that the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari was not sponsored by the PDP but another party, and therefore his term in office should have no effect on the internal arrangement of PDP. They therefore demanded that the north, especially the zone within the northern region that is yet to enjoy democratic presidency in Nigeria be allowed to produce the party's presidential candidate.

Argument of the south:
For the south, stakeholders and leaders of the party from the region argue that it would be immoral for the party to field a candidate as preferred to successor of Buhari, who is from the same region like him. They are of the opinion that the north, through the incumbent president, would have enjoyed uninterrupted eight years by May 2023, and it will not be fair to people of the south for his successor to be a kinsman of his from the north. In that note, they hold that the party zones his presidential ticket to the south.

More so, stakeholders from the southeast geopolitical zone have are of the position that the zone, being the only not to have produced the a presidential candidate of the party since 1999, should be given the right to produce the next president under the party's platform. While stakeholders from the southsouth zone are of the argument that the zone was not able to complete two interrupted terms in office due to the loss of Dr Jonathan in 2015.

Argument of Southern Governors Forum
A couple of months ago, Governors of the Southern region under the auspices of Southern Governors Forum, issued a communique after a meeting that was held in Asaba, Delta state, demanded that the region is allowed to produce the next President of the country in 2023.

These Governors, who premised their argument on the need for equity, fairness and fair distribution of power, held that it would amount to immorality for the south to be denied the 2023 Presidency after the 8-year reign of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Although the Southern Governors have strong argument, the defect in their call is that the presidential seat is a position to be contested for by interested political parties. Each of these parties are expected to make decisions on the zones of the candidates to sponsor based their individual political dynamics.

Being that the SGF is a forum of Governors of the South who are members of three different political parties, their body is unfit to dictate the direction of any of the political parties with respect to sponsoring candidates for election. Therefore, the SGF position for the south to produce the next president of Nigeria is advisory at best.

The Way Forward For PDP?
I am of the position that while the call for power shift to the south in 2023 as canvassed by stakeholders from the region is valid, the arguments by the northern stakeholders is equally valid within the context of the party.

If PDP zones its presidential ticket to the south, it will send signals to northern stakeholders and electorates that the party is a southern party, and this will alienate northern voters from the party.

If on the other hand the party zones its ticket to the north, voters from the south will accuse the party of pursuing sectional interest in quest for power. The party cannot afford to offend its southern voters, especially the its traditional stronghold; that is southsouth and southeast zones.

Therefore, the way forward for the party is not to zone its presidential ticket to any of the two regions. Instead, it should be left open for all interested aspirants irrespective of region they hail from. The aspirants should lobby stakeholders and delegates, and test their electoral strength at the Special National Convention to elect the party's presidential candidate in 2022. All the party needs to do is to ensure a credible, transparent and acceptable electoral process before and during the primary election, and activate various mechanisms to ensure post-primary reconciliation process.

This is the only way out.

History of political leadership of Nigeria did not start in 1999 return to democracy. It’s most annoying whenever northern politicians start to count from 1999 but ignore the nearly 30 years north ruled Nigeria either in military fatigues or in civilian clothes.

Fiscus105:
Ceeding presidential ticket to north is tantermult to set entire country on fire ooooooo

Southern PDP politicians supporting a northern PDP presidential candidate want to be closer to Aso Rock to pick bigger crumbs.

Abubakar Atiku is on the wait to succeed PMB. In 2023, if PDP fields Atiku, all northern APC faithfuls, including PMB, shall support Atiku to succeed PMB.

PMB has repositioned INEC, Security Service heads, the Supreme Court, state governors, etc to ensure that whoever PMB anoints succeeds him.

Once the 12 northern sharia states denounce their adoption of sharia criminal laws, normalcy shall return to the north. If sharia laws are not denounced, Boko Haram shall continue its fight for a Nigeria to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal laws �

Pure scam Aye

Huge SCAM.

It’s called TAQQIYA - use any tactic or false propaganda to deceive and defeat the enemy during Jihad.

Taqqiya is allowed by the Holy Book. Taqqiya is play any trick to confuse and defeat the enemy during Jihad.
Boko Haram is like the Taliban - fight till victory is attained.

Both fight for their respective countries to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal laws;
the same sharia criminal laws adopted by political and religious leaders in the 12 northern Nigeria sharia states between 1999-2001.

In 2001, Muhammadu Buhari told a large crowd of Moslems in Kaduna that he would not relent until Islamic Sharia criminal laws are used in all the states of Nigeria.



The CJN, Tanko Mohammed, appointed by president Buhari, quickly asked for Sharia criminal justice system be included in the 1999 constitution.

Let the leaders of the 12 sharia states denounce the adoption of sharia criminal laws, if they do, we shall start to believe that Boko Haram is giving up the fight for Nigeria to be governed with sharia criminal laws.

Ghana Must Go deportations were ordered by two Fulani HoS, Shagari and Buhari.

Divided south is like signed up for slavery under the north-made indivisible one Nigeria.

Northern military dictators wrongly used land mass or population as criterion to create too many states and local government areas with accruing Representative constituencies in the old northern region of Nigeria.
That effectively handed quasi ownership of Nigeria to people of the northern region.

Islam and Zakkat - alms giving proves that Islam supports mass poverty but few rich to give alms to the many poor.

This explains why under Buhari, an Islamist, Nigeria harbors the largest number of poor and hungry people; Western Education is fast becoming a Haram.

BENJAMIN OLUFEMI SAWYERR
Major General
Director Defence Information
28 August 2021

Your armed forces ignore the causes of Boko Haram, banditry and armed Fulani herdsmen but invite people who are less privileged in information gathering
than you.

You ignore the fact that adoption of Islamic Sharia criminal justice system by the political and religious leaders in the 12 northern sharia states, caused Boko Haram uprising and now, it’s offshoots, banditry and armed Fulani herdsmen.

You ignore the fact that the difference between most of the Muslims in the 12 sharia states and Boko Haram fighters, is like the difference between six and half a dozen.

You ignore the fact that if not for sabotage in the armed forces, the armed forces armed with cutlasses alone, could have defeated Boko Haram and its offshoots.

Kwontinue to invite the Rtd Olawunis for information. Na Nigeria go tire soon.

Why didn’t you go to him?

Must you invite everyone you want information from?

Arrest and lock and intimidate mentality.

Sunnybay7:
Presidency endorsed fulani assassins

Land grab for more Fulani from the Sahel coming in to settle in Nigeria, that’s much about the increased banditry and other terrorist acts going on in Nigeria.

Did Fulani use oxyacetylene gas to weld all Nigeria’s groups together with Fulani in indivisible one Nigeria?
People from the south and middle belt of Nigeria who can’t break away from Nigeria should stop the daily wailing, but wait as the agents of Islamization and Fulanization of Nigeria arrive their own quarters.

If the color of the skin of people in the south and middle belt of Nigeria is like the color of Oyibo skin, Nigeria should have been divided long ago into more manageable countries.

http://saharareporters.com/2021/08/28/breaking-defence-intelligence-agency-declares-retired-commodore-olawunmi-wanted-over

But who needed the speech of rtd military man, Olawunmi, to understand the profile of Boko Haram?

1) Boko Haram emerged shortly after the political and religious leaders of the 12 northern Nigeria’s sharia states adopted unconstitutional Islamic Sharia criminal laws between 1999 to 2001.
2) In 2001, Muhammadu Buhari told a large crowd of Moslems in Kaduna that he would not relent until Islamic Sharia criminal laws are used in all the states of Nigeria.

3) In 2019, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Tanko Mohammed, appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari quickly suggested that Islamic Sharia criminal justice system be inserted into the 1999 constitution of Nigeria; he even boasted: [after all, we have the numbers in the National Assembly to insert sharia criminal laws in the constitution].
Sharia criminal laws include; stoning women to death for adultery, death for apostasy, cutting the hands of thieves, etc.

4) Nigeria armed forces armed with cutlasses could defeat Boko Haram, if not sabotage from higher places in the country.
5) Boko Haram, like Taliban, is not winnable.
6) The difference between Boko Haram fighters and most of the Muslims in the 12 sharia states is like the difference between six and half a dozen.
Solution to Boko Haram menace is dissolve Nigeria into more manageable countries.

At this rate, Fulani federal government of Nigeria may imprison all most prominent and educated Nigerians, in order to Tibanize Nigeria.

Here comes already Talibanized Uzodinma.

Modrov:
The Christian nations that bombed and manipulated governments in the region for years are what?

Iran might have been a secular nation by now if Christian America had not manipulated the Shah to wreck the secular opposition.

That left the religious fundamentalists as the legit opposition. And indirectly led to groups like the Taliban

There is no one source of evil in the world. The Romans were not Muslims. Yet they killed and enslaved millions.

You talk about the Roman Empire and it’s atrocities. But talk is about today, not what happened hundreds of years ago.


Descendants of the Romans now are not imposing their religion on others.
Descendants of Othman Danfodio in Nigeria now are using Nigeria’s government instruments and armed forces to impose Islam on Nigerians as official religion.

Afghanistan example is the more reason why every country must be allowed to evolve from the way its people want.


Dysfunctional Nigeria must have evolved, or dissolved into more manageable countries, if not for external interference.

Anything to replace that worldwide calamity in Aso villa...

But anything not another Fulani.
Worse, Tambuwal is like a leopard, thinks only about power to the north, a most distrusted politician in the PDP.

And FFK just posed for pictures with Sani Yerima who brought Sharia criminal laws to Nigeria.
This FFK has no bearing.

For FFK to pose with Yerima who brought Sharia criminal justice system to the 12 northern states, shows that FFK has no value systems, is merely existing and has a life of “if you can’t beat them, join them.”

Phiniter:
does this make sense?

Lol. Wole Soyinka was short of calling for dissolution of Nigeria.

Any saner human being knows that Nigeria can’t continue to exist as one country because the value systems of Nigeria’s north and south regions are completely different, and widening.

mystery22:
Exactly,but unfortunately UN are cowards

Unfortunately, Buhari quickly placed Amina Mohammed, a fellow Fulani from Bauchi state, as Deputy Secretary General of the UN; Buhari is now soliciting for Amina Mohammed to take over from the outgoing Secretary General of the UN.

Amina was quickly drafted to become DSG of the UN at the heat of IPOB agitation for restoration of Biafra.
