Buhari Criticism Complains: Are Critics Guilty Of Hate? by Nobody: 1:17pm On Jun 03, 2015 |
These days, there have been rising complains by supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari and APC with respect to the rising criticisms that has greeted the President and his government. According to some of these Buharists, "it is too early to criticise Buharl". Some others even called for a 100 Days grace for the administration. Some even went ahead to tag critics as "haters" of the President(or even his tribe). Let us be sincere with ourselves, is there any justification for this early criticisms? Public Asset Declaration Criticism: Buhari pledged to declare publicly declare his asset while campaigning. Many people saw that as a step to enshrine transparency in government. Days after taking office, one expects the President and his Vice to send a copy of their asset declaration to the public in addition to the mandatory declaration with the code of conduct Bureau(CCB). But what did we get? The President and his Vice not only streamlined their declaration to CCB, their spokesperson Shehu Garba further went ahead to state that the CCB declaration also covers public declaration. Is there anything that Buhari and Osinbajo are hiding from the public? I believe it is patriotic to call a leader to act in line with his pledge rather than condone insincerity. Timpre Sylva Case Withdrawal Criticism: President Buhari prior to his election was seen as a non-nonsense anti-corruption czar. While campaigning he pledged not to interfere with ongoing corruption cases against any official. Rather than continue the "ongoing" N2.5b corruption trial against his ally and former Bayelsa state Governor Timpre Sylva, his Director of Public Prosecution notified the court to withdraw the case against the subject. Is it out of place to criticise the move of the President and question his anti-corruption rhetoric? Was he elected to withdraw charges? Mrs Aisha Buhari Watch Criticism Buhari has been wearing the toga of a modest, sincere and incorruptible ex-General. In fact, he came out to tell the world on how he begged for bank loan to secure his N27m APC Presidential form because he had less than N1m in his account. His wife Aisha was also photographed as "identifying" with the poor by "helping" a woman to fry akara during the electioneering period. The revelation that the wrist watch that she wore on the day of her husband's inauguration is worth N10.5M sent shock to Nigerians. How can the wife of a "poor" General wear N10.5M watch? How many collection of those does she have? Is Buhari and his family deceiving us? What are their asset? All these questions rang through the minds of people. Is it out of place to voice our concern? Even the Constitution mandates public officers to declare assets of their spouse(s) and their Children that are 18years and above to the CCB. Is the call for Aisha's asset declaration not legitimate? Didn't late Yaradua declare the Asset of Turai? Non Visitiation of Maiduguri Blast and Onitsha Tragedy Scenes Criticism: Bomb blast rocked Maiduguri, Borno state on May 29 and 30, till date neither President Buhari nor his Vice has visited the scenes to at least condole with bereaved and sympathise with victims. There was a tragedy in Onitsha, Anambra state where almost a hundred people were burnt to death. Neither the President nor his Vice were at the scene to condole with the people of the state on their loss till this date. The Vice President would rather go to Sudan to witness the inauguration of the re-elected Sudan's President. What message are they sending? President Segun Obasanjo visited Ikeja Cantonment a day after the 2001 blast at the cantonment. President Jonathan was usually on scenes of incidents be it Bomb blast, Plane crash in Lagos or any other tragedy. Sometimes his Vice Sambo appear on his behalf. What stops President Buhari or VP Osinbajo to at least visit one of the tragedic scenes? Didn't we all criticise exPresident Jonathan for attending to a rally 24hrs after the Yobe attack? Is it now unfair to ask our leaders to sit up to their responsibilities? The Flawed 100Days and 30Days Timeline Many buharists argue that Nigerians should allow the government a 100 day grace. The truth is that No SECTION of our Constitution or any act that talk about 100days. Governance starts from the day of inauguration and assessment start simultaneously. Some said we allow CCB verify the President/VP assets for 30 days, but again their is no provision where the law mandate CCB to publish to the public assets as declared after 30 days "verification" period. The CCB on verifying will gazette it and it will remain a secret document except a court warrant says otherwise. 25 Likes 9 Shares |

The Greece Example Let us take our mind to what's going on in Greece. Then opposition leader Alexis Tsipras had promised to end a 5year austerity that the then incumbent Government were implementing. On Sunday, January 25, 2015 his (Alexis Tsipras) party swept to victory defeating the incumbent by a landslide. He was subsequently sworn in the next day as the Greek's PM amid joy. Many Greeks were expectant of an end to austerity. In fact, people organised solidarity rally in favor of austerity removal on Feb 15. But 9 days later (Feb 24), the New PM instead of ending austerity in line with his promise, agreed new austerity deal. Immediately, Greek people expressed their opposition saying it wasn't part of the mandate they gave the New Leadership. They even came out two days later to stage protests and clash with security agencies. [url]uk.businessinsider.com/greeces-far-left-is-already-rioting-protesting-against-syriza-2015-2?r=US[/url] The Greek people never blamed the defeated party as being behind the protest. The Government never termed protesters as "haters", neither did anyone made demand for any "100" Days or said it was "too early". It was very simple, the people were angry because the government acted outside their promise. Why should the APC supporters and Buharists blackmail us as "haters"? Does holding leaders accountable translate to hate? Is it out of place for the APC crews to tell their leaders to do what is right? Should we all remain silent? What wrong have we done?

I have always suspected you as a hater and you're proving it. 1. Public Asset Declaration Criticism: To declare his assets and to encourage his political appointees to do same was contained in his pladge of what to do within 100 days in office. Has he first declared as required by law with CCB? Yes. Has 100 days passed without declaring publicly as he promised? No. 2. Timpre Sylva Case Withdrawal Criticism: From my understanding of this case, it is persecution by GEJ. If not, why couldn't he bring Sylva to justice since 2012 that he has left office? Why were the rest officials charged with Sylva left off the hook? That aside, what DPP did was to retain the case/prosecution that has progressed better and withdraw the one lagging. So, you are being economical with the truth to say that the president has withdrawn the case since Sylva still has the same case with EFCC. 3. Mrs Aisha Buhari Watch Criticism: Mrs Buhari was a private person as at the time she wore the said watch. As such, it shouldn't bother sane and sensible people how much she bought it even if her husband was poorer than we think/know. How are we sure of the price of hers when there are replica for less than 300 dollars? Could the watch not have been a gift? 4. Non Visitiation of Maiduguri Blast and Onitsha Tragedy Scenes Criticism: Another cheap shot here. The president cannot visit every tragedy sites. He promptly condemned both incidences and that should be enough for those who are sincerely patriotic. 5. The Flawed 100Days and 30Days Timeline: You don't have to give 100 days to start criticizing the government but criticize issues, policies and steps. Not none issues as you haters are fond of. 30 Likes 7 Shares |

This is pure nonsense... 1. Which public Asset Declaration are you refering to when Buhari's Spokesman has closed the chapter by saying that "Buhari/Osinbajo have fulfilled their pledge"? 2. What do you mean "GEJ Persecuting Sylva"? Is Buhari now the Judge? Why can't he allow the trial and let the judge decide? This is pure endorsement of corruption 3. Read above and comprehend. I can't repeat myself 4. Four inciddents happened and Buhari or his VP never bothered to visit any site? Why do you think Bush visited ground zero? Was Obama clueless for visiting hurricane site? Was Obj clueless for visiting Ikeja Cantonment? Was GEJ clueless for visiting bomb blast sites and plane crash sites? Was Obj clueless to visit PH during the 2005 crash? Your write-up is pathetic and hypocritical at best. I'm done with you on this DropShot: 13 Likes 1 Share |
