Dear General Buhari; I would’ve addressed this letter privately to you, but in the expectation that you may not receive it, I decided to make it an Open Letter, in the hope that you would stumble on it, read it and hopefully feel some of the pains and anguish that have been my lot. Having said that, permit me therefore to proceed with the rest of this missive from the grave of innocents departed. Last night, while I was at my modest home in Katsina, relaxing and probably half- awake, I heard the voice of my cousin who was killed in the North in April 2011 during the post-election violence instigated by your loss of the presidential election. With bloodshot sad eyes, my cousin, looking apparition-like, was wailing “Gen Buhari, why why”. My cousin’s name is (or was) Mallam Yusuf Danfulani, a bright young lad originally from Katsina State, who was slaughtered in cold blood and set on fire by youths chanting “Sai Buhari”, like they are again now chanting in 2015. Gen Buhari, in case you have forgotten, Yusuf was slaughtered in your name even though he never did any wrong to you, and even voted for you against Dr Jonathan. He lost his life just because the murderers you encouraged by your many hate speeches believed Yusuf to be from middle belt or southern Nigeria, most probably because of his bulky looks and brave, patriotic attempts to prevent the killing of an innocent Youth Corper, Ukeoma Ikechukwu. Even though he cried out in Hausa and Fulfulde, he was still not believed by those you (Buhari) managed to brainwash to see all non-Fulani Nigerians as conspiring to vote against you. In this very case, Yusuf voted for you but his ‘Sai Buhari’ killers never believed he did. Like you, Gen Buhari, the mob was baying for the blood of innocents. If not for Yusuf’s best friend who was with him and was himself nearly killed, we would not have recognized his charred body that was burnt beyond recognition. And thanks to the same friend for recounting to us the little he could make out at the last moments of Yusuf’s life, the agony he passed through and the most important words he uttered before he gave up. It is the same words I heard him utter last night from the grave: ‘Gen Buhari, why why’. Yet, to this day, you (Buhari) have not cared to apologize or show any remorse, but you instead offered lame excuses for the bloodletting you had instigated, and still instigate. I now ask you this: Gen Buhari, must you always shade blood, like you started doing from 1983, to rule Nigeria? Do you recall how you killed Brigadier Bako in 1983 just so you could take power by force from Shehu Shagari? General Buhari, Ukeoma Ikechukwu himself was reported missing that same day Yusuf was murdered by your supporters, and finally confirmed dead the following day when his charred remains was discovered in a hooded area. Apparently, your supporters had dragged him out of the open and tortured him before finally snuffing life out of him. Like my cousin, Yusuf, Ukeoma was very young and an innocent. Unlike Dr. Jonathan, they were not contesting against you. Yet, when they were killed, part of Nigeria was killed with them; the same Nigeria that you are now angrily campaigning to rule. Yusuf and Ukeoma were not alone. Six other innocent Youth Corpers were also murdered in Bauchi, where you Buhari, polled 1,315,209 votes (almost 82 per cent), defeating Dr Jonathan who scored 258,404 votes and did not even hit the 25 per cent mark. The corps members were reportedly chased to a police station where they sought refuge. But the rioters, who were raving mad with bloodlust and chanting “Sai Buhari”, overran the station and murdered the young Nigerians in cold blood. So, Gen Buhari, as you can see from the Bauchi result and it’s aftermath, your supporters even shade blood when you win; still you have no qualms. Today, you are prancing around the nation, arrogant and angry as usual, behaving like you have already won the election; and thus setting up another bloodletting if you are not announced winner. The story of Obinna Okpokiri is as heart- wrenching as Yusuf’s. The 27-year-old was butchered and burnt to ashes, in the service of his fatherland. Okpokiri’s own circumstances were as gruesome as they could be. He had run to the Corpers’ Lodge as the rampaging ‘Sai Buhari’ rioters targeted Youth Corper polling officers recruited by INEC for the election. As painful death loomed, the young Nigerians contemplated fleeing to the barracks. But they were not lucky enough. Your ‘Sai Buhari’ supporters caught up with them, slaughtered and set them on fire. Like Yusuf, these innocents are human beings and future leaders on the last laps of fulfilling their national duty before moving on to a bright future. But it was not to be because, in your name, Gen Buhari, they were slaughtered, sliced, soaked in petrol and scorched. Reduced to ashes in minutes and in the most callous fashion by those that are not better citizens or humans than them. General Buhari, while you are now busy inciting another violence, please bear in mind that in 2011, your supporters turned violent in whole 12 northern states as they burned the homes, vehicles, and properties of innocent Nigerians, some of whom are also Muslims and Northerners like you and my cousin Yusuf. Your ‘Sai Buhari’ supporters also targeted and killed Christians and members of southern Nigerian ethnic groups, who were seen as supporting the PDP, and they burnt churches across the north. One particular attack in Bauchi stood out as most heart- breaking. According to Human Rights Watch, on April 17 in Giade, a rural town in northern Bauchi, ‘Sai Buhari’ mobs attacked youth corps members in the town. The Corpers, who were mostly from Yoruba, ran to the local police station to seek refuge, but the mobs stormed the police station. The mob killed the police officer on duty and burned down the police station. They raped two of the female youth corps members and then hacked them to death with machetes, along with five male youth corps members. In total, rioters killed ten youth corps members in that town alone. A lecturer at the Nuhu Bamalli Polytechnic, Zaria, Kaduna State, described to Human Rights Watch how a mob of Muslims chanting “Change, Sai Buhari” attacked and killed several Christian students, a Christian lecturer and four Muslim students suspected of being PDP sympathizers on April 17: He said “Between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m., they entered the school chanting slogans and shouting: “Where are the Christians and Muslims that supported the ruling party?” They had painted their faces black and were shouting that they needed “change”, the Congress for Progressive Change campaign slogan. The mob had all sorts of weapons – machetes, sticks, and clubs. They started breaking the glass on the buildings. The students ran away but the mob pursued them into the staff quarters and they had nowhere to go. The mob beat them to death. The lecturer they killed was Yoruba“. Finally, Gen Buhari, let me end this letter by asking you this question: When are you going to apologize to me, to Yusuf’s aged parents, to Ukeoma’s parents, to parents of all innocents murdered by your brainwashed supporters, to Nigeria and to mankind? And here is Yusuf again, asking you from the grave: “Gen Buhari, why why”?

What a revealing write up. This has shown that this 'sai' buhari stuff is coated with blood. As it seems the apparition of the lynched innocent youths by the 'sai' chanters would continue to haunt this purported mascot (buhari)... Its not yet too late to decide to vote for GEJ, because between the two evils that's the lesser.

When you are done with this letter, kindly write a letter to jona on behalf of the innocent people that died during the immigration saga.

THE OP SHOULD GO AND DIE, MEANWHILE,

From d little I read, whilst d op is concerned abt d gruesome murder of his relative, he is perplex dat GMB didn't speak out against d evil his supporters carried out.

In as much as dia is no direct link btwn GMB n d murderers, I tink it wud/ will be a plus to GMB if he came out n spoke against such practices.

GEJ on d ther hand clearly stated dat he was against d immigration tragedy n has gone a step further to console d bereaved. Now dats a plus to GEJ irrespective of d late response n re-election intent behind it.

All m saying, irrespective of our party affiliation, letz see d truth n say it, cos all we want is d gud of nigeria not d party.

Are you kidding me. He was clearly against the immigration tragedy yet the one man that presided over it still retained his position. Talk another thing Abeg.

Ask buhari, he killed them because he said; a war against boko haram is a war against the northerners... He is good at bloodletting.. God will surely strike and when he does on GMB the world will know He has done it.

You always remember what GMB says but mischieviously forget what GEJ says. Who said
1. Boko haram are our brothers
2. Boko haram is in my cabinet
Look, if GOD does not strike GMB, Maybe you should go and strike him yourself.

I am not pdp/ govt spokeperson, but I tink u don't stop using electricity cos it shocks.

Even d immigration boss apologised @ d height of d whole saga n showed remorSe, do u want his head served on a plate to d families of d bereaved or do u want him to commit suicide like d south korean ferry captain? I will suggest u tell me wat u wud av done if u were in d govt.

Let's have an open n constructive mind irrespective of party affiliation.

Buhari should stop!

Are they not our brothers and sisters?
They are because they are Nigerians and even mostly from GMB's tribe
And are they not in his cabinet?
Yes they are both in military and others and are part of the power sponsors.
Please answer sincere then we will know who is inciting war here.
GMB is a bigot from all his speeches and he thinks that vulgar tribe of war he come from is a part of life but the truth is that it leads to damnation.
The wrath of God is slow but it's beyond enormous in destruction!
Let's face reality here and leave hatred. GMB is filled with hatred and God knows that just as we Nigerians do... No administration will be 100% but GMB is no option for Nigerians...

Of course you dont stop using electricity because it shocks you but at least you are given a second chance to live unlike the 0ver 16 graduates that died. Would you have said the same thing if the electricity killed(GOD forbid)people close to you and injured some. You said the guy apologised but that was after the blamed the incidence on the applicants for their 'impatience and failure to adhere to instructions'. As to your question, what i would have done is what every sane mind would have done, relieve him of his post to serve as a lesson to others.

You dont get to decide that, the masses do and you dont represent them. You can hate GMB all you want but he is going to contest and Nigerians will decide if they want him. And if they do, not even you can stop them from having him. Lastly, why did you say GOD knows GMB is filled with hatred, did you guys talked very recently?

Yes because He (God) told me a lot of things that I found defaulting about GMB so I then don't need meeting him facially to portray it here...
Everyone has a right to contest as long as you are a Nigerian, we can't deprive anyone the right because God makes a king but always remember and understand my words... When you run after a man with grace, his grace will disgrace you (to GMB)

U cannot totally blame d immigration boss, d applicants were also in too much rush n dat was wat led to d stampede, d immigration boss did not step on d victims himsef, other applicants did. D blame is shared.

Now if Jonathan had sacked d boss n d court sentensed him to 25yrs, I guess d dead wud av rise again.

In as much as I see ur solution as ur opinion, d purpose of sack will be defeated if we do not learn from mistakes.

A sane mind wud learn from mistake n not just hit d hammer on d anvil cos its wat every body wanted @ dat moment.

Non d less d topic on discuss was abt Buhari n murdered youth corpers not GEJ n Immigration boss.

Thank yu.

For this singular reason and for d fact that Buhari never deemed it fit to even condemn d actions of his supporters but was even trying to justify it,I HATE BUHARI SO MUCH.
By God's grace,he and his family will meet a worse fate.

And he did not tell you anything about GEJ?...what a biased god!
Since you have agree he can contest, then let the people decide and save yourself some headache. I cant remember your last sentence because it does not make sense. But remember this 'One man's meat is another man's poison'.

My God is never baised bro, I like the way you argue unlike a lot here... Can I add you if you don't mind or send you PM?
