Karma always very close to you...always re-visiting every now and then. Welcome to the season of karma. What a country.

mpeach Yar'Adua now, Buhari tells lawmakers
From ISMAIL OMIPIDAN, Kaduna, Sun
Newspapers (Wednesday, March 10, 2010 )
Former Head of State, Major General
Muhammadu Buhari (retd), has declared that the
only solution to present political uncertainty in
the country is for the National Assembly to set
machineries in motion for the impeachment of
ailing President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua. The 2003
and 2007 presidential candidate of the All Nigeria
Peoples Party (ANPP) made the declaration
yesterday while addressing members of the
National Unity Forum (NUF) which had visited
him in Kaduna. The forum led by Alhaji Maigida
Musa Abdu had from last week began visiting
notable northern leaders to seek their opinions
on how best to handle the Yar'Adua mess and at
the same time ensuring that the region does not
lose out completely in the power equation,
especially as the country approaches 2011. For
instance, when it met with former Inspector-
General of Police (IGP), Alhaji Muhammadu
Dikko Yusuf, last week, the former police boss
seized the occasion to call on the north to
ensure that it produced 'credible and acceptable
replacement' for Yar'Adua in 2011 presidential
election. Incidentally, like Buhari, the former
police boss is also from Katsina State, like
Yar'Adua. And Daily Sun can authoritatively
reveal that until the president took ill, Dikko was
one of his honorary advisers. But unlike Dikko,
Buhari was more forthcoming when he further
said the Federal Executive Council must save
the nation from the current agony by declaring
the president incapacitated to pave the way for
his impeachment. He further argued that Nigeria,
as a nation, should not have been in the present
situation if the provisions of the constitution
were respected by the leadership of the country,
insisting that the constitution has specific
provisions on how an ailing president could be
succeeded, even as he noted that the refusal by
the FEC to respect and apply the constitutional
provisions had led to the present crisis in the
country. In an apparent reference to the
resolution passed by the National Assembly,
which empowered Goodluck Jonathan to function
as an acting president, the former head of state
noted that it was wrong to introduce extra-
constitutional measures to tackle problems
already addressed by the constitution. To this
end, he stressed that the joy of political
expediency would never replace clear laid out
regulations spelt out by the laws of the land,
adding that 'political expediency won't remedy
this kind of problem because if the FEC had
acted in accordance with the constitution by
invoking the necessary sections to declare the
president incapacitated, we would not have
found ourselves in this present situation. 'As you
can see, adopting extra-constitutional measures
have not addressed the problem. If it had, we
would not have been subjected to the raging
debates and controversy going on. So we must
go back to the constitution. The exco must do
the right thing because once we start moving
away from the constitution, then we are inviting
anarchy,' Buhari added. He also called on the
acting president to make electoral reform the
priority of his government, saying that he has a
feeling Nigerians would stand up for the truth
and reject any imposition, or any government
that wins election through 'unfair' means in 2011.
While maintaining that unless free and fair polls
are conducted next year, both the polity and the
country would not be stabilized, the former
military leader further said the first measure of
commitment to the electoral reform agenda was
to reorganize INEC and make it more effective.
He said INEC, as presently constituted, could not
give Nigerians what they need in 2011, given
what happened during the recent governorship
elections in Anambra State...Copied. Same is here now.

Change is here...
