I Predicted Nigerians Would Be Victims Of Buhari-APC ‘one-chance’ Bus – Reuben Abati

The former presidential spokesman, Reuben Abati (SAN) recalls his warning to Nigerians to avoid President Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) and they remained adamant.

In his latest article ‘Buhari: Between yesterday and tomorrow’, Abati said he was sure Buhari was driving a “One Chance” bus, and trying to lure unsuspecting Nigerians to certain despair.

“I wrote an article shortly after the postponement of the 2015 Presidential elections”, he said. “The piece, titled ‘Buhari’s One Chance Campaign’ never got published. One of my colleagues to whom I showed it advised against its publication. His point was that we should remain professional and not get involved in partisan politics”, he disclosed.

In the excerpts, Abati noted that Buhari was unelectable in 2003, 2007, 2011, and he was even far more unelectable in 2015.

“In his previous failed attempts, he was at least his own candidate, but this time, he is at best some other people’s Special Purpose Vehicle; that is why he comes across more in this campaign like a mannequin under the control of seen and unseen masters with hidden agenda”, he wrote.

“Nobody should seek the Presidency of Nigeria as an SPV. I argue that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, apparently the owner of the APC, wants a Buhari Presidency because he imagines it will transform him, not Professor Yemi Osinbajo, not anyone else, into the most influential political figure in Yorubaland.

“The “treacherous” Rotimi Amaechi is busy dancing up and down because for him, a Buhari Presidency will enable him settle scores, with his imaginary enemies. “Festus Odimegwu, who was booted out as Chairman of the National Population Commission for making racist comments about Nigerians of Northern extraction wrote a Buhari endorsement article recently, it was actually a masked revenge piece.

“They will all be disappointed. And if General Buhari wants to be President, he needs to come across as his own man. “President Jonathan is his own man. All the self-proclaimed, would-have-been Godfathers to his presidency have on their own committed political suicide. He is tested, healthy, strong, focused and committed.

“He has campaigned on the basis of his record of achievements and the phenomenally positive transformation that Nigeria has witnessed under his watch in the past four years: the revived railways sector, the strengthened education sector, greater emphasis on youth, women empowerment and inclusive governance, a robust, economy, massive job creation, expansion of the space for human freedoms, and a purposeful, engaging campaign for a second term.

“In comparison, all I see on the Buhari side, is a lot of mean tactics, hate-driven propaganda, shallow costuming, third-party outsourcing of leadership, and manifold deception. Their attraction is that of a “One Chance” bus, not concrete vision, not change or progress, not leadership.”

Uncle Abati.

What exactly happened to you?you tasted the PDP free money,and then lost not just your credibility,but from all indications your senses too.

Buhari was elected by Nigerians, so deal with it.

And while we are having this conversation Uncle Abati,the things you are against about Buhari leadership style, was it before or after your source of livelihood(Jonathan)lost?

You are quick to pick out holes in the person of President Buhari,but I am yet to see or hear you say one bad thing about the Government that you were very much part of that plundered and looted Nigeria's money.

Except of course the One time you said you saw ghosts,and spirits in Aso Rock.

Uncle Abati, did you by chance see anything else aside Ghosts in the last Government?maybe like when Bullion Vans of Dollars was being shared?

That reminds me.

Uncle Abati, have you settled with Kayode Ajala?the same one whose family housed you,fed you and you eventually stabbed him in the back. Yes that one.

You have no single honour in you, and I expect you to be the last person on earth to throw stones at President Buhari.

Hopeless Abati

Abati isn't wrong,

But while he was there,he messed up...now he is pontificating
Adeshina will be the same because he is following same path

Easier to see things when outside,same as buhari and his party.

One thing I am certain of is that Nigeria has failed. Previous governments managed to paper over the cracks of corruption and tribalism and other ills bedevilling this country, but this present goverment is completely in cahoots with the destroyers.

Buhari will most likely win in 2019, not because he has any clue, but because he will win by hook or crook. In fact, some Nigerians will actually vote him.

I'm a Nigerian, but so ashamed to it!

Only a revolution by the masses can change this country.

Lalasticlacla and Mynd44 our Uncle is talking again.

Okay.

Previous govt failed but this govt destroyed Nigeria

True.

This is a clear case of pot calling kettle black.

Revolutions are usually not peaceful.

It is unfortunate that Nigerians are busy fighting for Jonathan and Buhari as if either of them wins Nigeria will be transformed. I would like to advise us to channel this energy for destructive criticism to proffering ideas on how to better this blessed nation irrespective of who leads her.

Abati is right. Please we are know that PMB/APC has failed woefully. Lets join hand and make Nigeria better irrespective of tribal and political affiliations and vote out PMB.

I'll admit ah also fell for the CHANGE crap ah didn't know we were changing for the worse God help us all

lol

PMB must be re-elected!! No two ways about that.

I have made plans to leave the country, and my last gift to Nigerians is to see them suffer for another 5 years!!

Buhari must be re-elected!!

I have since proffered my own primary solution which is first Buhari must go and then we proffer the rest ..okay

Propaganda. What did Jona achieve except the looting of our commonwealth under his watch.

Is time suen or what call this agent of leuretta Onochie media outlet like sarrki, Ngeneukwe etc to other or has he join them too on BMC job if not many will leave Nairaland for them to share comments and distract Ghost.

Yet it seems we have not learnt anything.

My God, this Buhari is the worst disaster that has ever befallen this country, the worst scenario that really amazes me and got me really thinking beyond human imagination, is that some people are still supporting him and ever ready to vote and lay down their life come 2019, never seen this kind of thing all my life before.
