History is about to repeat itself. Jonathan released Abacha's hitman who had been in prison since 1999 to win the votes of the North but he "failed".Buhari again is playing the same ethnic card but he will fail.

datola:
Buhari should do the same for the East by giving Ojukwu GCFR in his deserate bid to win 2019 presidential election.

Lagos Abeokuta road is being reconstructed buy Buhari. A road that has been a nightmare from Sango to Ifo and OBJ did nothing about during his time.

These actions will make baba Obasanjo more irrelevant among his own people.

These are better than sharing millions of dollars to traditional rulers- one of the stupidities of the Jonathan campaign strategies.

He wouldn't give Ojukwu GCFR. The unfortunate truth is that he doesn't need the East vote to win elections, You just need two major regions backing you. The North and West are already in his pocket. Maybe four eyes from now they will do that for you people since you decided to isolate yourselves.

This is simply an example of a good leader, you don’t conderm the past leaders to avoid hatred in the society.

Abacha worked towards mobile phone no obj and Atiku.
What evidence do you have on abacha that indicate him killing Abiola. You will be surprise that the same people that killed abiola, killed abacha they still live.

bigwig10:
Abacha killed Abiola,yet abacha was praised by buhari only to turn around suddenly to sing for abiola again,so abacha is a good man and abiola is good as well,impression frm this goverment.... God hlp us

hmmm, i felt so much for her feelings.

edo3:
Am sure it is this bastard tinubu that is orchestrating all these ideas,,but they are all in for a shocker come 2019...Before all u bastards BMC crew quotes me,,check all my comments before 2015 election,, I was pro buhari to d core..

Make we hear word abeg.
You were pro Buhari before,make we knak head for ground
Oya come make i give you award for being pro Buhari before.
Vote who you want and stop all these unnecessary hate.

vizkiz:
Stull doesn't mean we will vote for you come 2019. The sane ones know it is all election tactics

You will not vote for him, not "we we will not vote for him".

Common sense should tell you that your opinion is your opinion and not our opinion on general.

This is the best from the President Buhari... Whoever talks against this is hypocrite of the highest order. Some people from South East claiming Buhari should honour Ojukwu GCFR must understand that, Yoruba fought for it for 20yrs and if they want the same, they should fight for their hero as well. BUHARI/OSINBAJO TILL 2023
God bless President Buhari
God Bless Nigeria

Why Buhari Government Is South West Government

by life2017: 9:06pm On Jun 06

I have always maintained this Buhari Govt is south west government. South west as a region is a major Beneficiary of this Buhari government.

In terms of Appointment, south west is well represented both in numbers and relevance. Actually south west control the economic policy of this govt with Osibanjo as the head of the economic team. Minister of finance South west. The economic engine room in terms of expenditure which is works, power and housing is under South west control through Fashola. The number one source of revenue to federal govt which is FIRS is headed by Tinubu's boy Babatunde Fowler. But many people are ignorant of this fact because all attention is on NNPC. FIRS generate more revenue than NNPC because oil companies pay their tax to FIRS and not NNPC. in 2017 while NNPC generated 2 trillion Naira, FIRS generated 4 trillion Naira.


In terms of infrastructure, south west got a huge share in the infrastructural expenditure on rail, road, airport etc. Lagos- Ibadan expressway , Lagos - ibadan rail huge capital cost comes to mind.

In terms of party politics, South west is well respected and relevant in APC. Tinubu wanted the chairman gone, and he is as good as gone. He nominated Oshiomole as a replacement and it is as good as a done deal.

In terms of federal govt specific state targeted policy/ decision, south west has benefitted through Lagos. This govt has given support to Lagos state by giving national stadium to Lagos state, by giving or allowing oshodi airport road to be managed by Lagos state. And through support for Dangote refinery and epe seaport.

Declaring June 12 democracy day is a masterstroke. And honouring Gani with the award of GCON is also a sign Buhari have high regards for south west. And also with this action, he has completely destroyed his most powerful critic in south west which is Obasanjo. He just silenced OBJ among the south westerners. This a technical knockout to OBJ. He just further destroyed OBJ among south west historians and political activists.


Even under Obasanjo, south west didn't get this level of regards and respect. Under GEJ, South west was taken for granted whether deliberately or not.

It also mean Tinubu movement from AD to AC to ACN to APC has achieved something significant.Tinubu and other ACN members have been fighting for June 12 to be named democracy day. Tinubu just achieved that. Democracy day he started in Lagos and other south west state has become National. What a great achievement!!! Tinubu will be very proud as the current face of south west politics.

And if the south east(igbo) don't play smart and matured politics, if Buhari wins 2019 which as at today is the most likely case , South west has a very high chance of taking over from him in 2023. At the end they will start shouting marginalization/betrayal all over again forgetting that politics is a game of number. You only win when u play the right game that will give u the number.

i dont agree with you...

they are very dissimilar on many levels.

GEJ in power was a fumbling buffoon or lets say his advisers were.

He made so many wrong calls.

buhari is giving honour to whom honour is due but this is no guarantee that the south west will vote him come 2019. we have to wait and see which candidate the PDP will run with but i suspect the pdp is fast becoming a regional party so let us face it Buhari has no credible opposition come 2019 but well, he should forget south east he would not win a state there.

If you want Buhari to honour Ojukwu, Igbos should fight for it... Yorubas has been agitating for this since... And it comes to actualization by this regime... Stop isolating yourself from this government, Buhari's administration runs a government of the people for the people and by the people... We are one Nigeria, the country belongs to us all... June 12 is now the Democracy day

stop comparing mismatches, ojukwu was rebel, he was pardoned to enter Nigeria again from exile, he contested election afterwards, his own people rejected him outrightly

This is not similar... Buhari has done what the people want. Yorubas has been agitating for this since and they achieve it...
With this, not too young to run bill, his achievements towards the nation's building, his fight against corruption, his service to humanity and the infrastructure development... Buhari has won already.

This is a masterstroke from any angle we may be looking at it.

It's no longer the North. Useless IPobs

Why re my Yoruba pple spineless nd senseless at the same time because of 40,000 naira they were told dey can never get in this market of a country... You've been rendered unmarketable by this foolish government of fulani mafia who destroyed the currency system... Kill the strategically placed basket of the nation for sinister agenda... They mop the top decision body of governance structure.. They solidify themselves militarily nd agriculturally with bank of industry bankrolling huge agriculture projects and fertilizer subsidies for the northern populace hence starving them of educating them for their right... Rather making out of them foot soilders.. The current structure of federalism is built to weaken regional autonomy nd rapid development in respective regions with its internal resources rather they'll share money and lucre to some stupid goons while they exchange their sense for positions to this devious fulanimafia... The most stupid people in Africa is my Yoruba pple... With our educational prowess... We re still basking in slavish mentality to the belief that we can ever be something in this hell of a country... U re not valued nor can ever be remembered after you've collect whatever devalued lucre to defend a sodomistic contrapment to starve u of a better tommorow... We need to demand for autonomy to defend our sanity nd regain autonomy for internal growth... We re Yorubas nd I believe we re bigger nd better than whatever Nigeria can offer us
I watched with derision yester day the substantive minister appointed by buhari of course a galadima... Who can not string 5 words together to form a sentence yet he's the best thing that can happen to lead a whole parastatal... In a land brimming with doctors, professors nd technocrats... I reiterate Nigeria has nothing to offer we Yorubas... Only mental subjugation..a useless currency and a unfortunate dream of becoming what you want to be after being a graduate... Agitation for CONFEDERACY... AGITATING FOR SELF DEVELOPMENT... AGITATION FOR RIGHT TO LIFE... AGITATION FOR RIGHT TO CHOICE OF RELIGION... well that can only happen in a Yoruba society.. To all the paid charlatans who defend BUHARI’S mandate... If you re a Yoruba... Just like that foolish nd decepticon called osibanjo... You guys re a disgrace to our fore fathers... Tinubu who is marketing this buhari who's supervising ethnic cleansing don't have a conscience any more... I knw one day things would change against him... Let's do what's right rather than collect a money we won't even know when we finish spending it to defend a killer man to rule over our destinies.... Yoruba ronu... Yoruba ronu.... Yoruba ronu

May I drum into your thick skull that the despite the crap you were trying to project, the Igbos will give unalloyed support to separatist movements like IPOB if power does not come to the South East after the north has exhausted her present turn.

Good observation... And the beneficiary of this was the same man that annulled his mandate with all its attendant ill effects.

Mynd44:
How can Abacha kill Abiola when he died before Abiola?

Does he even know that?

I never regretted supporting PMB from day one. He has proven beyond all reasonable doubts that he is indeed a "converted democrat."

Sign posting June 12, as the new National Democracy Day, and honouring MKO Abiola, a date and a name laser etched in our collective memory, is charting a new course for our future by realigning the past.

Mr President should graciously Declare him as former President of Nigeria.
