Correction:
Buhari was a dictator.
In fact his regime was clouded with tyranny and you can ask any elderly person around or your parents to confirm.
Obasanjo has no history of being a religious bigot and did not try, jail and even kill on the basis of religion or tribe and on trump up charges.
Micheal Ajasin the then governor of Ondo state was left to languish in prison even after the military tribunal tried him TWICE and found him innocent of all charges.
Shagari,Ekwueme,Ambrose Ali,Owoh,Ogedengbe,Fela,Ajasin,Awolowo etal
Decree 2 was imposed in January 84' allowing the imprisonment of any civilian who poses a risk, the NSO was given authority to detain critics of the government and over 64 journalist were detained,tortured and kept in squalid conditions-a documentary was shown after the August coup of the NSO detention centres.
ASSU, NANS and NMA were banned their leaders detained and conferences violently disrupted.
Decree Number 4 of April 1984 forbade the publication or broadcast of anything that brought the government or any of its officials into ridicule or disrepute. Like Decree Number 2, it placed the onus of proof on the
accused and stipulated heavy penalties for offenders. Under these two measures, a number of prominent journalists and editors were arrested. Two Guardian newspapermen spent nearly a year in prison, becoming heroes in the struggle for a free press, and were adopted as prisoners of conscience by Amnesty International.
In Buhari's regime over 20,000 (other reports say hundreds of thousand) civil servants were retrenched (210) from the north -SACK AND GO.
Tens of thousands of people lost their means of sustenance due to lack of raw materials to power industries caused by the "economic policies" of Buhari.
Can you imagine the implication of that on the economy?

All and much more are easily verifiable check resources like:

History cannot be changed!

Minister of Police Affairs Jelili Adesiyan has tacitly admitted that there was an encounter between several top officials of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a senior military officer who was badgered to intimidate members of the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) in order to ensure victory for the PDP in the Ekiti State governorship election.

SaharaReporters had exclusively released the audiotape of a heated session where PDP members, including (now) Governor Ayo Fayose, Mr. Adesiyan, former Minister of State for Defense, Musiliu Obanikoro, and Senator Iyiola Omisore ordered Brigadier General A.A. Momoh to order troops under his control to arrest and detain APC members in a plot to guarantee victory for Mr. Fayose.

After our disclosure, both Governor Fayose and Mr. Obanikoro denied the authenticity of the tape, with Mr. Obanikoro threatening to sue SaharaReporters.

But in an interview with Sunday Punch newspaper, Mr. Adesiyan admitted that the encounter took place, even though he tried to lessen the criminal nature of the exchanges by claiming that the meeting was to persuade the officer to release some detained PDP agents. In addition, the minister stated that the atmosphere became charged when Mr. Fayose accused the military officer of taking a bribe from then Governor Kayode Fayemi.

Sunday Punch reported that the Police Affairs Minister “admitted that there was a conversation but it was at a scene in Ado-Ekiti, when Fayose and the General engaged in an altercation which almost resulted in a fight.”

According to the minister, the near physical fight happened after some people at the meeting accused Brigadier General Momoh of being bribed by Governor Kayode Fayemi and the All Progressives Congress. The accusation “led to a heated argument between [the general] and Fayose,” Sunday Punch reported.

The paper reported Mr. Adesiyan as stating, “Nigerians are not dummies. These people are mischievous; somebody recorded the scene but let everybody listen to it. Listen to it yourself and get back to me.

“Fayose accused the General who supervised the Ekiti election of taking bribe from Fayemi and APC, that was two days before the election. They called me because they said the General disarmed policemen and I told him to allow the policemen to do their job.

“I was there, Fayose was there, Otunba Omisore was there, Senator Obanikoro was there. I am not denying that there was a conversation but it was not what they are saying.”

FastShipping:
As a matter of fact, federal government has refused to release 8 Billion Naira due to INEC since December. Government interference and sabotage is the problem.

gbam! i concur!

I hope inec will listen

inec is not the problem...its the governement...

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, has asked INEC to take advantage of the shift in polls to embark on rapid distribution of the remaining Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to all registered voters.

This was contained in a statement from the Secretary-General on Sunday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on the postponement of Nigeria’s elections, initially scheduled for Feb. 14 and 28.

The statement was made available to NAN by Oluseyi Soremekun, National Information Officer, UN Information Centre in Nigeria.

Ban, in the statement, pointed out that the rapid distribution of PVCs to all eligible voters was imperative to ensure credible polls.

He urged “the electoral authority to take all necessary measures, such as the rapid distribution of the remaining PVCs, to enable all eligible voters, including those displaced, to exercise their right to vote in a timely manner.

“This is imperative for ensuring a credible, free and transparent election,” the statement said.



The statement also said that the UN scribe had spoken in a telephone conversation with President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday over the postponement of the election, and also to Gen Muhammadu Buhari (rtd).

He had encouraged both Jonathan and opposition candidate Buhari to respect the Abuja Accord they adopted and which commits them to non-violence, peace and tolerance during the elections.

“He looks up to Nigeria’s authorities to uphold their commitment to ensure a violence-free election and put in place adequate security measures, so that citizens across the country are able to exercise their civic duty safely and without fear,” the statement added.

The secretary-general expressed the hope that the forthcoming elections would meet the high expectations of the Nigerian people and the international community.

“The successful conduct of these polls would strengthen Nigeria’s democracy and enable the country to continue to play a leading role in the promotion of regional peace and security,” Ban said.

Guyman02:
Wrong: The West cannot tell you the truth. Have you heard about classified information? This implies that a particular truth will not be told until allowed by the President or Congress if US interest will be impacted. I am afraid that the open support of Buhari by US is similar to what we saw in Egypt where they backed the Muslim Brotherhood who ended up being against the minority Coptic Christians until they were removed by the military.

I also feel Buhari is sympathetic to the MB hence the support from the west who will not sell us weapons to fight BH but are quick to condemn the failures of the govt to tackle BH. Look further they have an agenda

wat stupid agenda?


they dont want an i.diot to lead africa's most populous nation.


they dont want a sense.less guy plunging nigeria to war thereby destabilising the sub region...


dts their agenda...and for me, it makes sense...

Boss13:
One thing I like about the west, regardless of the patronage they gain from you, they are not afraid or shy to tell you the truth. They know how to separate business interest and their conscience.

On the other hand, I wonder why they are writing these damn editorials on Jonathan. I suspect Obasanjo oh. Anyway, they are always on point.

its in their interest that nigeria prospers...they will agin too economically..

mrborntodoit:
Enemies of Nigeria should wait and see.

It will shock them to the bone .

shock us that wat?

Afroconnect:
All these analysts just doing their job...Nigerians should hold their leaders accountable to provide security.

Stealing of public funds is what is making Nigerian military weak. The immunity clause is a fraud and criminal on its own.

Our electoral laws should be enforced and politicians endangering the lives of Nigerians because of their selfish motives must be dealt with severely harshly. Our judiciary is just a rubber stamp,Shame on the chief justice,EFCC chairman and the other chief prosecutors acting like puppets.

i concur...our intitutions havent helped ' all...with the level of impunity under Jonathan, you cant help but wonder why the NA hasnt impeached him.

deeboiii:
GEJ can. But he lack ideas. Unless he create a committee.

how can he..? if he could he would have...

[size=26pt]APC discussing issues whilst PDP adverts are centred on character assasination....

no wonder Femi Fakayode said last year that the APC leaders are far more matured and sophisticated than their PDP counterparts...
