If truly buhari is behind de tribunal judgement why is wike still going to de court of appeal? Knowing fully well that he will still loose the case. Pdp will still win but i fear it will not be wike this time. Once his immunity is lost Efcc will step in

Electing An illiterate Dictator- A Major Drawback
for Nigeria’s Democracy
The problem with dictatorship is that it usually
lacks the capacity and patience to understand the
meaning of the rule of law and due process. Both
doctrines are often slow and therefore require
patience. Dictators don’t have patience, they want
it here, now and by any means necessary. In
1984, Mohammadu Buhari overthrew the
democratically elected government of President
Shehu Shagari. It is true that every coup plotter
is guilty of breaching the Nigerian constitution
and shooting his way into power. But arguably,
unlike Ibrahim Babangida that overthrew a
military junta, Buhari’s offense was more
egregious because he overthrew a democratically
elected government – an expression of the
collective will of Nigerians. In his false feeling of
importance, Buhari has always believed in his
messianic mission. He thinks that he knows it all,
and that, unlike any other Nigerian, he knows
what is best for Nigeria. His twisted sense of
superiority and inordinate craving for power found
expression in his 1984 coup and his subsequent,
repeated run for the presidency. Before he finally
won in 2015, he had been defeated in three earlier
presidential elections. On his third defeat, he
broke down and wept in public, an action that
would have ended his political career if he were
an American politician. Politicians hardly weep in
America. To me, that unrestrained public effusion
of tears signified his utter desperation for power.
His frequent threats to Nigerians were also
indicative of his excessive hunger for power. After
he lost the 2011 presidential election, he made
his threats; vowing to make Nigeria
ungovernable. And true to his word, he attempted
to make Nigeria ungovernable. Through his Boko
Haram connection, he unleashed terror on
Nigeria. Some say that if Buhari had no
relationship with Boko Haram, why did the
terrorist group nominate him as one of its
negotiators? And before the 2015 election, he
threatened to spill blood and cause mayhem if he
loses the election. Unfortunately, in 2015,
Nigerians buckled under Buhari’s threats and
shenanigans, and elected a dictator-president. It
is obvious that successive military regimes
contributed immensely to our societal woes: the
erosion of our moral standards and the perversion
of our values. By overthrowing the Shagari
government, Buhari truncated a nascent
democracy, retarded our democratic evolution and
contributed to the problems military rule visited
on Nigeria. Ironically, the same problems the
military dictators created for Nigerians are the
very ones Buhari is promising to fix. Leadership is
not, and can never be by force. Buhari, Nigerians
say, remains uninformed. Before the elections
Nigerians raised a lot of doubts that he even has
a West African School Certificate (WASC). But
even without this basic academic qualification, he
didn’t seem to have the urge to improve himself
over the years. So, that when elected president,
he would be better prepared to serve the country.
Sadly, dictatorship means force and that’s all you
need to get things done. His fixation was on
grabbing the presidency at all cost. He sounds as
though he does not have the finesse to relate
smoothly with the other branches of government.
He has never displayed any intellectual capacity in
governance in the past thoughtless of delivering a
lecture, as presidents sometimes do, to the
academia, professional associations, etc. In his
ignorance and obscurantism, he is blind to the
heterogeneity of this country. No wonder, he once
advocated making Sharia the supreme law of
Nigeria. During his first coming to power in 1984,
he pretty much ruled by proxy via Idiagbon. This
time around there is ample evidence that he is
going to govern through El Rufai and co. Is it
then not a bit surprising that Nigerians voted for
a dictator in 2015? In my viewpoint this
implicates a major drawback for Nigeria.
Politically and otherwise. Were Nigerians
browbeaten by his threat to unleash violence and
wreck havoc if he is not elected? Having, with our
votes, dignified a man that shoved aside a
democratically elected government and seized
power, what message are we sending to young,
coup-thirsty military officers? Are we not telling
them that it is alright to plot and execute coups?
Evidently, we are a country of cowards. Have we,
out of fear that Nigeria might break up if Buhari
does not win, rewarded him for his coup and
extra judicial killings? Oh, the Americans
supported him? Yes, Obama did. Secretly, he sent
his former Chief of Staff, and renowned political
strategist, David Axelrod, to Nigeria to work for
the All Progressive Congress (APC). Obama’s
support for Buhari was motivated simply by
American economic interests. Africa is the new
frontier and Nigeria is a major player in this
emerging frontier. The former president, Goodluck
Jonathan, was in bed with the Chinese. The
Chinese economy is expanding and will soon
overtake the American economy as the world’s
largest economy. The government of Goodluck
Jonathan was awarding billion dollar contracts to
Chinese companies. This piqued the Americans.
So, they embarked on what they do best: regime
change. They approached their cousins, our
former colonial masters, the British, to find out
how to deal with Nigeria. Piece of cake! The Brits
told them: the road to Nigeria must pass through
the North; we did so when we colonized them.
So, Obama went through the North. Buhari, thrice
trounced in his quest to be president, was
available, ready and willing. So, Obama’s secret
agent in Nigeria, David Axelrod, from his vast
repertoire of political intrigues, came up with the
CHANGE slogan for APC and projected Buhari the
dictator as a reformer. For their strategic
interests, the Obama administration tried
something similar in Israel but failed. It supported
an opposition candidate against the incumbent
Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. But with
Israel being a more sophisticated democracy, and
the Israelis, gutsy, they were not swayed by the
Obama administration’s political stratagem. The
Americans are always prone to installing dictators
that will later turn against them, and instead of
serving American self-seeking interests, subvert
them. There is evidence of these American
installed Frankenstein monsters in Libya, Iraq,
Syria, Egypt, etc. With time, Buhari may prove
another Frankenstein monster.

Get your facts right. Buhari did not overthrow President Shagari. It was Babangida and Abacha that planned and executed that coup. Buhari was only invited from Jos to head the new Junta as the

GenBuhari:
lets assume that 75% of the Peterside's lead in votes on this thread is down to non resident votes on NL.

Wike would still only have 64 votes, whilst Peterside would have 64 + 25%(96)= approx 8o votes .


So even after making a generous adjustment in Wike'd favour, Peterside's votes on this mock NL poll is significantly greater.

Wike is out.

Day dreamers on the loose. Perm one from two political pundits.

Fact is: even if all southwest and northern APC members are drafted to Rivers state to intimidate Rivers state people on election day, Wike shall win. APC is not a grassroots party in any area in the old southeast region.

The judgement also said:

“The witnesses called by the respondent became unreliable during cross-examination. They betrayed their character. Even INEC officials who came as witnesses at a point claimed ignorance of their own document,”

The tribunal also talked about: intimidation, harassment, snatching of ballot boxes, ballot papers, lack of result sheets, late arrival of election materials, diversion of election materials, ballot stuffing, allocation of figures, non-collation of result, failure to use card readers

It was not just card reader.

‘’ We request all lovers of democracy to join us in calling for the outright cancellation of the phony election.

‘’ Unless this is done, we would have sown the seed that could eventually grow into providing a shade of fear and death over us,’’ he said.

According to Bekaren, what happened in Rivers was a far cry from what election should be.

‘’ What we saw did not meet international standard of electioneering, not even the ones set by the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC,’’ he said.
