PoliticsBuhari Has Duped America- Washington Post by tuscani(op): 2:47pm On Nov 22, 2015
Abimbola Akosile

A Washington Times report has criticised President Muhammadu Buhari over the current ordeal of former National Security Adviser Col.Sambo Dasuki (rtd) who had been under house arrest since November 4, despite a subsisting court order which granted him permission to embark on a medical trip abroad.


Dasuki who was former President Goodluck Jonathan’s National Security Adviser and served briefly in that capacity under the current government, is currently standing trial on a two-count charge of money laundering and illegal possession of firearms before a Federal High Court in Abuja. The court however granted the former NSA, who had been on bail, permission to embark on a medical trip abroad. Operatives of the DSS however continued to lay siege to his residence thereby frustrating his travel plans.


Penultimate week, Dasuki returned to court to report the government for refusing to allow him enforce his fundamental human rights. The Federal High Court consequently reaffirmed its order allowing him to travel abroad for medical attention and ordered the DSS to vacate his residence - an order which the department had yet to comply with, insisting that the former NSA has questions to answer about a $2billion arms deal.


The US newspaper report titled 'Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari Dupes the US', slammed the President for “uttering time-worn democracy vows” during his visit to the US, where he promised “to combat graft with procedures that would be “fair, just, and scrupulously follow due process and the rule of law, as enshrined in our constitution.”


It said, “After celebrating fairness, due process, and the rule of law last July to win the goodwill of the United States, Mr. Buhari returned to Nigeria to mock all three in a vendetta against Dasuki, the immediate past National Security Adviser.


“He placed Mr. Dasuki under house arrest. He confiscated his passport. He charged him with firearms and money laundering violations. He sought a secret trial to prevent independent scrutiny.


“He opposed Mr. Dasuki’s pretrial application to the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja for permission to receive urgent medical treatment for cancer in London, but it was nonetheless granted.


“Justice Adeniyi Ademola explained that an accused is presumed innocent before trial, and that a citizen’s health is paramount before the law. Mr. Buhari was ordered to release Mr. Dasuki’s international passport.


“Mr. Buhari defied the order. He put Mr. Dasuki’s house under siege, a microcosm of the Bosnian Serb siege of Sarajevo. Mr. Dasuki returned to court. Justice Ademola reaffirmed his order, asserting “My own orders will not be flouted.”


“Mr. Buhari has not yet budged. As a military dictator in 1985, he similarly seized the international passport of Chief Obafemi Awolowo to thwart his travel for medical treatment, which caused his death in 1987. The more things change, the more they stay the same.”


Calling Dasuki’s situation an “ongoing persecution,” the Washington Times report noted disparagingly that “Members of Nigeria’s National Assembly and Senate have been reduced to playing the roles of extras in cinematic extravaganzas.”


Recalling some of the low points of the Buhari military regime in the ‘80s, the newspaper report said the era “was earmarked by chilling human rights abuses,” which it said included, “draconian edicts, exemplified by Decree 20 under which the judicial murders of Nigerian citizens Lawal Ojuolape, Bernard Ogedengbe, and Bartholomew Owoh were authorised.”


It noted that Ogedengbe was executed for a crime that did not carry the death penalty at the time it was committed in violation of the universal revulsion of EXpost facto laws.


Quoting Nobel Prize laureate Wole Soyinka, it said “these crimes were executed in defiance of pleas from virtually every sector of Nigeria and the international community—a grisly precedent for subsequent dictator Sani Abacha’s hanging of Ogoni activist Ken Saro-Wiwa in contempt of international opinion.”


It further noted that Buhari’s brutal military dictatorship was overthrown in 1985, adding, “Mr. Dasuki played a key role. Dictators do not forget. Fast forward to today.”


Arguing that much is riding on Dasuki’s case, it said “if Mr. Buhari flouts Justice Ademola’s order with impunity, judicial independence will be fatally compromised and Nigeria’s embryonic democratic dispensation will be stillborn,” adding, “The judiciary is the only branch capable of checking limitless executive power—the bane of Africa.”


It also said such actions could work against peaceful transfer of political power on the continent as incumbents would be afraid of being persecuted by their successors.


“President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration accepted a peaceful transfer of power to President Buhari, a laudable landmark in African politics. If Mr. Buhari is permitted with impunity to destroy his political opponents like Mr. Dasuki with tyrannical methods, peaceful transfers of power everywhere on the Continent will become problematic. The incumbents’ risk of political and personal impalement at the hands of their would-be successors will be too high.”


The report called on the United States to insist on independent human rights observers to monitor Dasuki’s prosecution and trial, and a demand that President Buhari honours his vow to follow due process and the rule of law.
“The stakes are too high to remain silent,” it added.

Instead of Goodfriend arming his army, he stuck millions in oil dollars in his and his friends pockets knowing he was safe and unreachable by Boko Haram. Now, the new president is chasing his #$%$ and millions in stolen money looking for a break. African leaders do not give a damn about their people, they are all out only for themselves, like many politicians worldwide....they are elected based on the lies they tell. Civilians who live in the outer areas of Cameroon and Nigeria don't stand a chance. Nothing is really done to help them defend themselves as their elected politicians have stolen it all.

Well, i want to differ a little. What stops Nigeria from going to another Country for the needed arms if we are serious about tackling the issue of Boko Haram.? France produces arms as well as other European Countries. If the whole of Europe refuses to sell arms to Nigeria, why not go to Eastern Europe? Russia will be willing to sell as much as weapons to us as we need so why not go to them? All must be done to see that this unwanted deaths all over the Nation.

Where is the promise they made to deliver arms once Jonathan leaves office? Oh yes! Nigeria must accept Gay Marriage so as to get arms! Just as they treated Jonathan, Buhari is learning the hard way! No to Gay marriage; No to arms delivery! This shows then that Jonathan was not the real problem!

Nigeria's new president warned that the U.S. refusal to sell his country strategic weapons is "aiding and abetting" the Islamic extremist group.

Is Obama an Islamist?

Refuses to sell weapons to the Kurds; refuses to sell weapons to Buhari; withheld weapons from Egypt; refused to sell new jets to Israel; Iraq tried to get fighters from America, nope, ended up getting some from Russia. Kurds end up getting some weapons from IraN & Syria.

When we have airstrikes, a few kills, but reports like 20 airstrikes, 10 killed? Woopee do!

Pilots complain, I have enemy in sight, then is told, bills, you can not take out. Reporters report, I was with Iraqi army, ready to fight, but no air support, told to retreat.

As. Gomer Pyle would say, gol....lee!

I look at it this way if the west and/or the U S won't sell strategic weapons to help kill Islamic extremist, is probably do to the fact that Obama is a muslim himself.

Buhari is the former military strongman who took over Nigeria in a military coup circa December 1983 . It is impossible to believe he doesn't have contacts in various other countries for a source of weaponry . This is simply another cry me a river blame game to manipulate America into helping him do what he should have the courage to do on his own . He wants free weapons - foreign aid and American "advisors" to do his dirty work for him . This game is as old as recorded history and unfortunately , the U.S. has fallen for this ploy too many times .
Word gets around .

Buhari it is time to move on. Do what is best for Nigeria. Build on the relationship that have already been created. We can buy weapons from other countries. We can get training from other countries. I think Obama is miss using the Leahy Law. To my understand, the Leahy law is not a permanent arms embargo. Once the violations are addressed, the restrictions are lifted. Nigeria has taken measures to address human rights violations by soldiers. Also the Leahy law only applies to tax payers funding of military aid to other countries. It doesn't say anything about arm sales. The Nigeria government is trying to buy the military hardware. The refusal of the sale of weapons to Nigeria is a good thing. We can buy weapons from other countries without any strings attached. We maintain the sovereignty integrity of our country. President Buhari please come to your senses, do what is best for Nigeria. Stand up for Nigeria and the African continent, not for other interests.
