Buhari Voted Against Nigeria At OAU Summit In 1985 - Vanguard by Diamondwriter(op): 5:47am On Jan 30, 2018
“Between 1983 and 1985, Peter Onu of Nigeria was Acting Secretary-General of the OAU. At the 1985 Summit in Addis Ababa, statesmen like Julius Nyerere, President of Tanzania, lobbied for his election as substantive Secretary-General. However, there was a major stumbling block to Peter Onu’s candidature: his Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari, was campaigning against him. Buhari claimed: “This generation of Nigerians and indeed future generations have no other country than Nigeria.” But when the crunch came, his allegiance to Nigeria disappeared. In the election of the OAU Secretary-General in 1985, Buhari voted against Nigeria and for Niger instead. He secured the election of Ide Oumarou, a Fulani man from Niger; as opposed to an Igbo man from Nigeria. By so doing, Buhari became the first and only Head of State in the history of modern international relations to vote against his country in favour of his tribe”.

Buhari did nothing wrong. We Fulanis will always have the interest of fellow fulanis first. How can anyone expect a Fulani man to vote for an igbo man? Would Ojukwu have voted for a Fulani man if he were in Buhari's shoes? Fulani leads, others follow
