[s]PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI, OLUSEGUN OBASANJO AND THE TINUBU YORUBA PARADOX
Let me point out once again from the outset as I have maintained in several fora here that I am NOT in the least interested in any discourse relating to the health or otherwise of President Buhari.
Indeed, just as I indicated in the Yar' Adua case in 2010, I find all the current idle speculations about Buhari's indisposition, as well as the accompanying agitation for his resignation, absolutely needless, irreverent and abhorrent.
The reason is that it is Buhari/Tinubu Yoruba tribalism, religious bigotry, maladministration and Godlessness, rather than Buhari's health, which are threats to Nigeria's corporate existence at present.
Thus, all the flippant speculations and naïve agitations are, in my opinion, the clearest indicators yet that Nigerians on both sides of the political divide have learnt absolutely nothing from the Yar' Adua episode.
However, I could not but be attracted to the following excerpt from the recent sycophantic and hypocritical media posturing by Bisi Akande, former APC chairman, and a key Tinubu Yoruba slave functionary in the Godless conspiracy to oust former President Jonathan from power in 2015. Akande said inter alia:
'...Let me warn today that those who wish to
harvest political gains out of the health of the
president are mistaken. This is not Nigeria of
1993. We are in a new national and global era
of constitutionalism and order. We hope
Nigerians have enough patience to learn
from history...'.
Now, what does one make of this absolutely silly statement, especially the reference to 1993 and history? It appears to me that virtually all the discourse on Akande's statement completely missed that part.
The reference to 1993 is absolutely intriguing considering that the only event for which 1993 has become a notorious milestone in Nigeria's annals of political infamy is the criminal annulment by Ibrahim Babangida's regime of the June 12 election putatively won by MKO Abiola.
Since that annulment and its tragic fall out leading to the eventual murder of Abiola in 1998 were rightly seen as a brazen act of injustice by northern Muslim military leaders against Yorubas, it is not particularly clear why Akande is drawing a parallel between that event and the present case in which he claims some people are attempting to 'harvest political gains out of the health of the President'.
President Buhari is a northern Muslim, and those who may wish to 'harvest political gains' from his health challenges are believed to be his kinsmen from the Muslim North as well.
And so in what precise manner does the current Buhari 'health crisis' recall the June 12, 1993 crisis? Pray, how does the perceived 'politics' swirling around the man's health today adversely affect Yoruba interest reminiscent of Abiola's debacle?
The answer obviously is in the current status of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, the most potent symbol today of the success of Tinubu Yoruba tribalist mischief and conspiracy against the Goodluck Jonathan government.
It appears that in the above busybody Freudian slip, Akande merely gave voice to the tribalist anxieties currently ravaging the hearts of ALL Tinubu slaves in Yoruba land, who, despite their thin veneer of pretended support for President Buhari, are actually secretly wishing that he would step aside or, 'better still', pass on in order for their kinsman, Osinbajo, to take over.
Thus, in the thinking of Akande, all the Buhari loyalists who are 'concealing Buhari's illness' and encouraging him to remain in power, and, therefore, depriving Osinbajo of political power are the enemies of Tinubu Yorubas just like the 1993 annulment protagonists.
Oh dear! Oh dear! Oh dear! It is astonishing what tribal bigotry is doing to Nigeria. Prominent Nigerian citizens now flaunt Godless tribalism like a badge of honour.
I find it particularly intriguing in this case that the Tinubu Yoruba slave in the South West of Nigeria --- after endorsing and enlisting in the most iniquitous, pernicious and mendacious tribally motivated political propaganda and conspiracy in history against Dr Goodluck Jonathan in 2015 because of raw vicious tribal hatred for Igbos --- now believes that he can justifiably stake a claim to equity, rather than Nemesis. Astonishing!
You helped to prevent a minority Ijaw man from securing a legitimate second term, after your own kinsman, Obasanjo, had served out his own second term. Now you want yet another kinsman of yours, Osinbajo, to be handed power so soon after Obasanjo! Dear Lord!
I am absolutely flabbergasted that these agents of tribalism such as Akande in the Tinubu circles of Yoruba land and elsewhere in Nigeria have so far been incapable of reading the current momentous events in Nigeria accurately as the commencement of divine wrath on their 2015 sleight of hand.
Let me jolt their weak memories with a bit of recent history in order to properly exemplify the tragic paradox that they represent at the moment.
In the 1999 Presidential election, Nigeria was presented with two Yoruba candidates, Olu Falae of the AD/APP alliance(admittedly the far better candidate of the two) and Olusegun Obasanjo of the PDP(who had just been released from prison where the then Head of State, Sani Abacha, had left him to rot).
The Yorubas in the South West completely rejected Obasanjo for Falae. But Obasanjo won on the strength of the votes of the North(Central, West and East), South East and South South, with a total of 18,738,154 (62.7%) votes to Falae's 11,110,287 (37.2%) votes.
The total votes from the five South East States of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo were as follows:
i. OLUSEGUN OBASANJO = 2,404,739 (71%)
ii. OLU FALAE = 978,997(28.9%)
Those from the six South South States of Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo and Rivers were as follows:
i. OLUSEGUN OBASANJO = 6,065,197(83.4%)
ii. OLU FALAE = 1,205,087(16.5%)
From the six South West States of Ekiti, Lagos, Ondo, Ogun, Osun and Oyo came the following results:
i. OLUSEGUN OBASANJO = 1,092,216(20%)
ii. OLU FALAE = 4,366,993(79.9%)
Obasanjo won all the states in the three zones of the North except Kebbi, Sokoto, Yobe and Zamfara States won by Falae, three of which were possibly on account of the influence of Falae's running mate, Umaru Shinkafi, a Sokoto prince.
But hardly had Obasanjo settled down as President when he began to fight everybody in the PDP including the Senate Presidents Chuba Okadigbo and Adolphus Nwabara, House of Representatives Speaker Ghali Na Abba and Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Obasanjo employed brazen bribery to serially remove the Senate Presidents and attempt to remove the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Huge sums of money were often displayed on the floor of the two Houses of the National Assembly as the bribe given by Obasanjo for the impeachment of their leaders.
In 2001, in order for PDP to win elections in the South West, against the threats of Bola Ige to ensure that only President Obasanjo without the other PDP elective positions would succeed in the South West, Obasanjo presided over the murder of Bola Ige, his own sitting Attorney General, the first time such a heinous crime would be committed in Nigeria.
The same fate later met other opponents of Obasanjo such as Harry Marshall, and A.K. Dikibo, a PDP member.
Yet the Yorubas who had rejected him in 1999 were now Obasanjo's staunch supporters.
By 2002, Obasanjo had completely lost the support of the Muslim North who perceived him to be working against their interest by favouring the South West who had rejected him in the election.
They began to engineer opposition to him through such officials as Chuba Okadigbo, Ghali Na Abba and Imo State APP Senator Arthur Nzeribe.
When in 2002 Nzeribe of the APP tabled a motion of impeachment on the basis of 19 impeachable offences against Obasanjo of the PDP on the floor of the Senate, the South West, despite being ruled by AD Governors Niyi Adebayo(Ekiti), Bola Tinubu(Lagos), Segun Osoba(Ogun), Ade Adefarati(Ondo) and Bisi Akande(Osun), was thrown into an uproar against Nzeribe.
Governor Bola Tinubu of Lagos State declared Nzeribe persona non grata and warned him not to step into the South West.
The North began to campaign against Obasanjo employing deadly Shari'a riots resulting in the loss of thousands of lives between 2000 and 2003.
By this time, despite claims of monumental corruption and maladministration against Obasanjo especially in the North, the South West, including the present tribalistic apologists of Tinubu who are determined not to allow former President Jonathan to move on with his life after they and their tribalistic media houses fabricated Godless falsehood and propaganda to oust him, mobilised support for Obasanjo towards the 2003 election.
They all joined forces with the South East, South South and North Central to re-elect the same Obasanjo that they had rejected in 1999.
By the time the 2003 election came, despite Obasanjo's shenanigans against the South East, as seen in his marginalising them in military appointments, and the South South, as seen in his reintroducing the offshore/
onshore dichotomy in the sharing of oil revenue resulting in the loss of revenue for states like Akwa Ibom and Delta, the two zones defied the kind of tribal bigotry which Tinubu Yoruba slaves engaged in in 2015 and re-elected him in a landslide. The South East even rejected their own Ojukwu for Obasanjo.
The 2003 Presidential election results in the three zones were as follows:
SOUTH EAST
i. Olusegun Obasanjo = 3,161,019 (71.3%)
ii. Muhammadu Buhari = 253,143 (5.7%)
iii. Odumegwu Ojukwu = 1,018,966 (22.9%)
SOUTH SOUTH
i. Olusegun Obasanjo = 7,056,434 (94.6%)
ii. Muhammadu Buhari = 371,749 (4.9%)
iii. Odumegwu Ojukwu = 24,218 (0.3%)
SOUTH WEST
i. Olusegun Obasanjo = 5,042,678 (93.6%)
ii. Muhammadu Buhari = 196,169 (3.6%)
iii. Odumegwu Ojukwu = 146,214 (2.7%)
Obasanjo lost all the northern Muslim states to Buhari but managed to win all the North Central(Middle Belt) States including the mixed religious states such as Adamawa, Kaduna and Niger.
Thus, with the votes of the four zones of South East, South South, South West and North Central behind him, Obasanjo won the 2003 elections in a landslide with the following national total:
i. Olusegun Obasanjo = 24,109,157 (67.8%)
ii. Muhammadu Buhari = 12,495,326 (32.0%)
iii. Odumegwu Ojukwu = 1,111,933 (02.8%)
The point of all this is that with the complete rejection of Obasanjo by northern Muslim states in this election, if the South East and the South South had behaved towards Obasanjo's re-election the same way that the Tinubu Yoruba South West behaved towards Jonathan in 2015, here is what would have happened:
SOUTH EAST TOTAL = 4,433,128
SOUTH SOUTH TOTAL = 7,452, 401
TOTAL =11,885,529
Now, Obasanjo's total of 24,109,157 votes minus South East/South South total of 11,885,529 leaves Obasanjo with 12,223,628 votes.
Now, add all those South East/South South votes of 11,885,529 to Buhari's 12,495,326, and you get the following result:
i. Olusegun Obasanjo = 12,223,628
ii. Muhammadu Buhari = 24,380,855
Indeed, even if the votes of the two zones were split equally between Buhari and Obasanjo, Buhari would still have won as follows:
i. Olusegun Obasanjo = 18,166,392
ii. Muhammadu Buhari = 18,438,090
Therefore, would Obasanjo have won re-election in 2003 if the South East and the South South had been bitten by the vicious anti-Jonathan, anti-Igbo tribal bug of Tinubu Yoruba slaves in 2015?
And in case these slaves of Bola Tinubu are still deluding themselves about how Jonathan could not have won the election in 2011 without their votes, here is what happened then:
NATIONAL TOTAL:
i. Goodluck Jonathan = 22,495,187
ii. Muhammadu Buhari =12,214,853
iii. Nuhu Ribadu = 2,079,151
iv. Ibrahim Shekarau = 917,012
v. Others = 104,837.
SOUTH WEST TOTAL:
i. Goodluck Jonathan = 2,786,417
ii. Muhammadu Buhari =321,609
iii. Nuhu Ribadu =1,369,943
iv. Ibrahim Shekarau =30,906
The total votes cast in the South West for ALL the candidates = 4,613,712.
Jonathan's 22,495,187 minus South West's 2,786,417 = 19,708,770.
Now, if all Jonathan's votes in the South West, together with those of Ribadu, Shekarau and others also in the South West = 4,613,712 had been added to Buhari's 12,214,853, Buhari's total = 16,828,565 votes. Thus, in 2011:
1)GOODLUCK JONATHAN (WITHOUT ANY YORUBA VOTE) =19,708,770
2)MUHAMMADU BUHARI(WITH ALL THE YORUBA VOTES)=16,828,565.
That was the reality in the 2011 Presidential election.
In addition, the destruction of the PDP was started by Obasanjo as far back as 2005. Once upon a time, a man like Chris Ngige, former Anambra State Governor whose kidnap by Chris Uba was engineered and endorsed by then President Obasanjo, was a member of the PDP.
Audu Ogbe, Buhari's Minister of Agriculture was also a member of the PDP. Today, they are both pillars of the APC. Who drove them out of the PDP? Olusegun Obasanjo.
Even Atiku Abubakar had to run to the ACN to contest for the Presidency in 2007 because of Obasanjo's malicious shenanigans.
Yet the Yorubas did not hold Obasanjo accountable in 2003 by working against his re-election despite the murder of Obasanjo's political opponents, the destruction of PHCN, and even afterwards, the fraudulent Presidential library and Bells University in Otta, the unConstitutional Third Term agenda, as well as the destruction of Odi and Zaki Biam.
At a point, even Obasanjo's first son, Gbenga, accused him in court of having sex with his(Gbenga) wife and sought divorce on that basis claiming that the paternity of his children could not be guaranteed.
Yet this monstrously irresponsible Egba 'agbaya' is strutting all over the place today fouling the air that Nigerians breathe and exhorting and accentuating the anti-Jonathan tribalist hysteria in the Tinubu Yoruba South West.
People like Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, and even the low quality 'market place' poet(pun intended), Niyi Osundare, have now enlisted fully in the pernicious Tinubu tribalist slavedom with the worst form of ethnic bigotry.
Thankfully, I have never ever reckoned with the inferior quality of writing of the Osundares of this world. I am only thoroughly ashamed of Wole Soyinka who has always been my role model but who has now been rubbished with a lethal mixture of Tinubu Yoruba tribalism and senility.
IF OBASANJO COMMITTED ALL THE ABOVE ATROCITIES AND STILL RULED NIGERIA FOR EIGHT UNBROKEN YEARS, EVEN HAVING THE EFFRONTERY TO SEEK AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL THIRD TERM, HOW CAN THE TINUBU YORUBA MAN OR WOMAN WHO ENDORSED HIM FOR SECOND TERM IN 2003 BUT CONDUCTED A VICIOUSLY FALSE AND GODLESSLY TRIBALISTIC CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE SECOND TERM ASPIRATION OF A PERFECT GENTLEMAN LIKE DR GOODLUCK JONATHAN IN 2015 BE COMPLAINING ABOUT BETRAYAL FROM BUHARI'S LOYALISTS OVER OSINBAJO?
Yes, anyone can fall ill at anytime and this is especially so for an old man like President Buhari who is believed to be well into his eighties. That cannot and must not become the subject of undue speculation and misplaced agitation.
But when a man has spent twelve years of tension- and blood-soaked struggle coveting with lies and threats the highest office in the land, and he finally ascends that office with deadly tribal and religious conspiracy such as the Boko Haram Chibok Girls scam but is immediately unable to concentrate on governance and savour the spoils of office on account of ill health, ONLY a Godlessly blind and dishonest Tinubu Yoruba slave will fail to recognise that that is God's way of punishing robbers who not only robbed an innocent man but persist in lying against him.
Only a characteristically blubbering and Godlessly tribalistic Tinubu Yoruba slave illiterate would in the same breath ascribe the President's illness(which medical experts say is related to geriatric complications of Crohns and prostate diseases) to his 'fight against corruption' and complain of loyalists seeking to prevent his kinsman Vice President from taking over the leadership of the country a la 1993.
To those of you non Yorubas who are engaged in the busybody agitation for Vice President Osinbajo to take over the running of the country from Buhari, I am astonished at what I am about to say now:
I am supremely contemptuous of Muhammadu Buhari in all ramifications and will forever be because Buhari represents for me all the evil that can be found in an individual, but given a choice between Buhari and Osinbajo (the very symbol of vicious Tinubu Yoruba tribalism at present),
I shall without hesitation prefer Buhari a hundred times. I cannot believe I just said that about Buhari but it is true!
And to Olusegun Obasanjo and all the tribalistic Tinubu Yoruba slaves in the South West, who are currently labouring under divine punishment because they will not leave Dr Goodluck Jonathan alone, know this:
GOD IS HERE AND THERE AND EVERYWHERE, AND HE KNOWS WHEN YOU PLAY THE GAME UNFAIR![/s] Igbotic trash |
