Politics › Why Can’t Those Christians That Complained Go And Fight Terrorism - Buhari by sirklin(op): 7:50pm On Mar 06, 2016 |
President Muhammadu Buhari has confirmed Nigeria’s membership of the Islamic Coalition Against Terrorism being spearheaded by Saudi Arabia amidst speculations of alleged plan to Islamise the country. The President made the disclosure in an interview he granted to Al-Jazeera during his recent visit to Doha, Qatar, while the interview was aired on Saturday. When asked whether Nigeria was part of the Islamic coalition, Buhari answered in the affirmative. He attributed the reason behind the decision to the fact that there are terrorists in Nigeria who claim to be Muslims. “We are part of it (the Islamic coalition) because we’ve got terrorists in Nigeria that everybody knows which claim that they are Islamic.
“So, if there’s an Islamic coalition to fight terrorism, Nigeria will be part of it because we are casualties of Islamic terrorism,” the President said. Buhari said he discussed Nigeria’s membership of the coalition with King Salman Bin Abdul-Aziz during their meeting in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia when he visited the country recently. He however did not disclose how the membership of the Islamic coalition would be beneficial to Nigeria when asked to do so. He said it would be wrong to disclose the details to the media. “Well, that we mentioned under Lake Chad Basin Commission, our regional grouping compromising Cameroon, Chad, Niger, Nigeria and Benin and we dedicated a certain number of troops to be deployed in our own sub-region and I don’t think we have to tell the press the details of that,” he simply said. Buhari however justified Nigeria’s membership of the Islamic coalition, saying there is nothing wrong in joining the coalition since members of the Boko Haram sect fighting in Nigeria have claimed they are Muslims even when their activities are anti-Islam. He added that the Boko Haram itself had declared loyalty to ISIS He said, “I’ve just told you it is the Boko Haram itself that declared loyalty to ISIS. “ISIS is basically based in Islamic countries. Now, if there’s a coalition to fight Islamic terrorism, why can’t Nigeria be part of it, while those that are fighting in Nigeria as Boko Haram claim to be Muslims? But the way they are doing it is anti-Islamic.” When confronted with the fact that Nigeria has large populations of both Muslims and Christians and that some Christians are complaining that he is giving Islamic identity to the country by his actions, Buhari wondered why the Christians who are complaining have not deemed it fit to confront members of Boko Haram in the North East or militants in the South South
“Why can’t those Christians that complained go and fight terrorism in Nigeria or fight the militancy in the South. It’s Nigeria that matters, not the opinion of some religious bigots,” he declared.The President however denied any attempt to change the religious identity of the country. He said, “How can I change the religious identity of Nigeria? “No religion advocates hurting the innocent and just because the Muslims are the ones that claim to be Boko Haram and they are killing innocent people whether in the church, in the bus or in the market place, then I will just sit and look at them because I too am a Muslim? Islam is against injustice in any form.” http://www.punchng.com/38715-2/

Politics › You're A Stupid Buffon - Ghana's President Attacks Obasanjo Over GEJ by sirklin(op): 8:44am On Feb 20, 2016 |
President John Mahama of Ghana and former President Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria reportedly engaged in a public spat few days ago. All did not go as planned at the African Investment Forum in Westminister, London which held the Dec 1 and 2, 2015. An heated exchange between President John Mahama of Ghana and former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo degenerated into open insults with President Mahama losing his temper and calling General Obasanjo “an idiot” and a “stupid buffon”. This was after Obasanjo openly accused the Ghanian President and his government of financially contributing 12 million dollars to Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign. He also accused President Mahama of blackmailing and collecting bribes from Nigerian businessmen in Ghana, buying numerous properties in Nigeria and South Africa. It took the intervention of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni to calm tempers and usher President Mahama to a nearby room to prevent a bigger episode. http://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/youre-a-stupid-buffon-ghanas-president-attacks-obasanjo-over-gej-the-whistle.150333/ |

Politics › APC Should Take Over INEC And Other Institutions - Oyegun by sirklin(op): 11:47am On Feb 17, 2016 |
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday said heads of agencies and parastatals appointed by former President Goodluck Jonathan are sabotaging President Muhammadu Buhari. The party’s national chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun said this in an interview with State House correspondents yesterday shortly after the leaders of the party met Buhari at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja.
https://www.nigerianbulletin.com/data/attachments/52/52884-09a396a02463102230121eb8d91512ba.jpg President Buhari had Monday sacked heads of 26 agencies and parastatals appointed by his predecessor. Oyegun said that internal sabotage was going on in many federal agencies currently headed by members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). He also alleged that sabotage was happening in the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other government institutions at the moment; the situation, he said, has been of concern to the APC.
Oyegun said APC members that would be appointed into those agencies and parastatals should be people who believe in the change agenda of the incumbent administration.
“APC members are not concerned about the positions; we are concerned about the internal sabotage that is going on in a lot of the PDP-filled positions which are critical to our national growth and development. It is happening in INEC, it is happening in a lot of other institutions. “And that is what the concern of the party is, not necessarily taking over. We should take over and they should be people who believe in the change agenda, we have no apologies for that at all,” the APC chairman said. http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/general/apc-jonathan-s-men-sabotaging-buhari/134043.html |
