The people first: if you see or hear me complain, it's because my wishes for a better society is second to none but unfortunately has never been met. Everyday I wish there was a better leader to what we have. Only Yar'adua & Osinbajo (both short term) have ever impressed me. In 1999, Obasanjo was a consensus candidate from nowhere. I only read from history whom he was. I also hear on the Radio, Obasanjo said this & that. That was all. It then came that he was chosen by the PDP as their preferred candidate & with the backing of the North & considering PDP was the party of the Southsouth & the alternate party of the Southeast, Obasanjo destroyed Olu Falae at the polls to become President. someone from the Middle-belt, PDP was the popular Party, so Obasanjo got my support. Immediately Obasanjo began, Tyranny began. He was worse than Buhari. The difference is that he wasn't Nepotistic. He treated everyone equally, except his perceived enemies. He was intelligent too, & could defend anything openly even if they were all lies. He used his position to steal lands for himself, both in Abuja & Otta & hiked fuel prices while refusing to increase salaries commensurately. I saw all those & started to dislike him. But something was that I noticed & I for the sake of a good conscience gave him back my support. In 2001, this Buhari instigated the North against Obasanjo's Government, called for Sharia Law for the whole Nigeria & then threatened that if the 2002 Miss World Beauty Pageant holds in Nigeria, that the safety of the Beauty Queens wasn't guaranteed. Imagine a citizen threatening the whole world with utterances of Terror!! This was why I reneged from my dislike of Obasanjo & in the absence of no proper candidate supported him in 2003 against Buhari. In fact, with the corrupt practices of Obasanjo, I was one of the few who wished he stayed on for 3rd term against Buhari & Atiku, just because I discovered Buhari was hellbent on using religion &tribe to takeover power & Atiku showed disloyalty/disdain towards his Boss openly.

These are facts you can go check, Obasanjo on accepting that he can't run again then chose Yar'adua, so I gave my vote to him after checking everything he did as a Governor. Buhari lost the election in 2003 but never agreed. He lost again in 2007 & went to court. Let me tell you what happened: In 2003, Obasanjo knew he'll struggle to win the Presidential Election without the support of the Southwest, so he made peace with his people for maximum support. This is where tribal politics began. Though, PDP held all states in the North except Kano, but votes were rigged to favour Obasanjo. Buhari knew he was popular in the core North, so he made his conclusion as a Sectional Leader that he won the election & went to court.But you know what? Buhari never won any election until 2015.

In 2003, Obasanjo won all the Non Hausa speaking parts in the North, including Abuja, Kogi, Taraba, Adamawa where Atiku is from & Kwara. & don't forget the Southeast hated Buhari even though he chose Chuba Okadigbo as his Vice. Then 2007 came, Yar'adua won Buhari on popularity in the North. Until Buhari became President, the only place he was very well loved was Kano, & that's where he wins election flawlessly. Yar'adua was popular among the Governors & had impressed the Northerners, coupled with the fact his father's name was the most popular among northern politicians then. The Igbos supported him too because of Jonathan. so Buhari had failed all along. Now, after Yar'adua died, I didn't like Jonathan, because I knew how he embezzled Bayelsa funds in just under 3years. So I knew the prudence Yar'adua showed will disappear. So, I supported Buhari for the first time in 2011. I was the only one who supported him in our apartment then; & because Nigerians felt Jonathan was being bullied, he got sympathy votes & won overwhelmingly. Buhari as usually was obsessed with his popularity in Kano, so he alleged rigging. & why I immediately got irritated was that Buhari threatened that "the dogs & baboons will be soaked up in blood if he doesn't win". It brought back memories of the 2001 threats & how he confronted the then Oyo for cubbing his killer Kinsmen.
With Buhari's Devilish Utterances, I gave Jonathan the nod. But Jonathan wasted the opportunity with poor governance, & Buhari with all the bad signs got to power. I was indifferent with Buhari's reign because I made my conclusion in 2011 election from his extremism. Like I knew, it didn't take 6weeks, everything about him showed. From Sensationalism to Religiosity to Tyranny to the disobedience to the rule of law,.. Note: if you read well, you'll notice that from time to time I changed my mind about these people. It wasn't personal but general. & until we get a leader for the people, I'll keep talking ~ I am Baba agba
