Buhari Spits Fire!!! by AwesomeRomeo: 11:10pm On Jul 21, 2014 |
The former head of state says despite being a politician, he has a duty to speak out Former Military Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari, has urged President Goodluck Jonathan, to promptly halt what he called the government’s “runaway train of impunity” which he said now threatens the nation’s democracy. In a blunt remark Monday, Mr. Buhari, now a leader of the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, blamed Mr. Jonathan for the impeachment of the Adamawa State governor, Murtala Nyako, and the recent gale of impeachment threats against other APC governors. “Whether or not President Goodluck Jonathan is behind the gale of impeachment or the utilization of desperate tactics to suffocate the opposition and turn Nigeria into a one-party state, what cannot be denied is that they are happening under his watch, and he cannot pretend not to know, since that will be akin to hiding behind one finger,” Mr. Buhari said in a statement. He accused the government of subverting the constitution to impeach a governor, and deploying the institutions of state “just to kick an out-of- favour state governor in the groin”. “’The dangerous clouds are beginning to gather and the vultures are circling; and these have manifested in Nasarawa where the ordinary people have defied guns and tanks to protest the plan to impeach Gov. Umaru Tanko Al-Makura in a repeat of the bitter medicine forced down the throat of Gov. Murtala Nyako,” Mr. Buhari said. “’The people’s protest in Nasarawa is a sign of what to come if the federal authorities continue to target opposition state governors for impeachment. In the long run, the impeachment weapon will be blunted. Positions will become more hardened on both sides and Nigeria and Nigerians will become the victims of arrested governance and possible anarchy.” Mr. Nyako was removed last Tuesday by state lawmakers, accused of misspending government funds. The opposition APC accuses Mr. Jonathan and the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, of being behind the move, an allegation fuelled by speculations that more APC governors are targeted for impeachment. After Mr. Nyako’s ouster, lawmakers in Nasarawa State moved against their governor, Tanko Al Makura, threatening impeachment also on allegations of mismanagement. The presidency and the PDP have denied responsibility for the happenings in Adamawa and Nasarawa States. But Mr. Buhari said as president, Mr. Jonathan cannot feign ignorance of the unfolding political events, and warned of serious threats against a nation already facing grim security troubles with attacks on defenceless civilians by the extremist Boko Haram sect spiralling out of control. Mr. Nyako’s impeachment, or similar threats against other APC governors, are aimed at “decapitating” the opposition, he said, warning of dire implications for Nigeria’s “tenderfoot democracy”. Mr. Buhari, who has thrice vied and failed to become president, said President Jonathan should remember no democracy can thrive without a virile opposition, “hence it will amount to a man cutting his nose to spite his face for anyone to embark on a journey to decapitate the opposition, as the current central government is doing”. He said a man of power must realize he cannot always do things just because he could do them. “I, along with many other patriotic Nigerians, fought for the unity and survival of this country. Hundreds of patriotic souls perished in the battle to keep Nigeria one. The blood of many of our compatriots helped to water the birth of the democracy we are all enjoying today. “Let no one, whether the leader or the led, the high or the low, a member of the ruling or the opposition do anything to torpedo the system. Let no one, whether on the altar of personal ambition or pretension to higher patriotic tendencies, do anything that can detonate the keg of gunpowder on which the nation is sitting. It is time for all concerned to spare a thought for the ordinary citizens who have yet to see their hopes, dreams and aspirations come to reality, within the general context of nationhood,” Mr. Buhari said. The ex-military ruler said he has a duty to speak out regardless of his status as a politician and an opposition leader, and that he resorted to public comments after unsuccessfully trying to have the president reconsider his tactics after he discussed with him privately. http://m.premiumtimesng.com/news/165327-buhari-spits-fire-accuses-president-jonathan-of-declaring-war-on-nigeria.html 1 Like |

U get the type of comment above from people who do not have adequate reasoning tendencies. U can only understand somebody if u intend to. Nigeria e.g like u guys who coMment above don't like truth and will not want to hear or support it any where. He has made serious national points and all u guys do is interprete it in a malicious manner to mere his personality. Must say something!!! Buhari foresaw the insecurity we are currently facing in the country today and dat is what he meant by Baboon and monkey soaked in blood and today we are seeing it. Now some unreasonable people have decided to interprete dat in a manner that will tarnish his image by labelling him Boko Haram even wen no one can provide an evidence to dat. Nigeria can not get a leader like Buhari and before we realise it will all be late. We have plenty Ex-president out of all only him cared to say something about wat is going on wrong yet we can't see beyong religious and ethnic difference. 8 Likes |

Buhari is the problem of Nigeria,his mind is evil,his statements can tell,I think someone should explain to this man that politics is a game and the will of the people must prevail,the nassarawa state house of assembly is a representation of the people of nassarawa and the decision is the decision of the people,can PDP try this in Portharcourt,Lagos or Ogun? NO, it would not fly can't this man understand the will of the people if they intend to impeach their governor it means he's doing something wrong and has no relationship with the house of assembly,so therefore he should face the music,Mr Buhari's statement is divisive just because he wants to score cheap political points this man should be in jail for treason charges. 3 Likes |

Buhari - The People's General, an officer and a gentleman Law and order makes a nation, same law for rich and for poor. The man who walks his talk , riches are not his worldly objective A nationalist who wants to see Nigeria great and respected A man focused and upright & not given to temptations Tea totaller non smoker seeks for altruism and a society just and prosperous. Chains of property, foreign accounts , fleet of jets and cars and other lusts are weaknesses for a leader. Real strength is of character, real wealth is the wealth of all, real nation is a just nation. A man of experience , never haughty or arrogant yet head and shoulder above the midgets. Unassailable ,incorruptible, tested and trusted - use him while he is available. BUHARI - hated by criminals. 9 Likes |

The truth must be said and i will say this.. The current Government has failed in handing the issues concerning Corruption, crime, Petroleum subsidy theft, EFCC died when they took over power, no politician has been dealt with since they came into power, the country in running on debt, and they are planning to go and borrow $1Billion to buy arms to fight BOKO HARAM instead of them telling us the truth that they want to borrow money for the upcoming election. I will love to educate Nigerians, Before GEJ took over from Late president Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, Nigeria was having a foreign reserve to to tune of $500million, all those money wen into thin air, power generation has been the reason for all those money spent and yet we have no light in our various homes. The petroleum subsidy that was a common man's happiness has been taking away in order to shy away of corruption, up till date we still don't have kerosene in our filling station but we are all clamoring with sentiment and cheat our self for leaders who do not think about us at all. Our lecturer are always on strike everyday we don't attend schools, people are dying in the hospitals because they are not paying attention to our doctor demands, Ex corrupt Governor are been given presidential pardons after stealing money made for the people, i stand to say that this people are fooling us....... why do we need them to continue to rule us when we have seen no changes for the last 15 Years of democratic government. We need a change in the federal level to know the difference of who had ruled better may when they come back to power then they will know that they have to keep their head tight and work so we won't vote them out again........... 3 Likes |
