Buhari Condemns Burkina Faso Coup D’etat by bugs1: 9:49am On Sep 19, 2015 |
President Muhammadu Buhari and the Federal Government unreservedly on Friday condemned Wednesday’s detention of the Interim President, the Prime Minister and other ministers of the transitional government of Burkina Faso in a coup d’etat. A statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina said Buhari and Nigeria aligned with ECOWAS, the African Union and the United Nations in rejecting the brazen contravention of the constitution and transitional charter of Burkina Faso by elements of the Presidential Guard under the leadership of General Gilbert Diendere. The statement said: “Buhari and Nigeria urge the Defense and Security Forces of Burkina Faso to keep faith with the agreed transitional programme for the return of the country to full democratic rule after elections, which were due to be held in the country on October 11, in support of which Nigeria has donated 20 pick-up vans to the National Electoral Commission of Burkina Faso.” The Interim President, Mr. Michel Kafando and Prime Minister, Isaac Zida and other detained ministers have since been released. The president said Nigeria would give the fullest possible support to ongoing efforts by the ECOWAS mediatory team of President Macky Sall of Senegal and President Boni Yayi of Benin Republic to quickly restore Burkina Faso to the path of order, democracy and constitutionalism. He urged the people of Burkina Faso to remain calm and steadfast in support of the transitional order, elections and democratic governance with the full assurance that Nigeria, ECOWAS and the international community would uphold their right to peace, freedom, democracy and good governance.

Buhari has no moral right to speak up against coups as he has a history of plotting coups and toppling a duly elected civilian adminstration. In the same light, Buhari will later state that he does not believe in the applicability of democratic tenets in the Nigeria power play as according to him politicians are koworpt and indiscipline. Buhari will later ban all political parties and politicians, suspend the 1979 constitution, enact draconian degrees like decree 4 to gag press freedom and cristiscm of his administration. After successfully destroying the political class and the once vibrant free press, Buhari will turn his despotic regime upon the Prolaetes who jubilated on his coup announcement. "My people are indiscipline, my people are useless" was what Buhari regime used to justify arbitrary arrests of Nigerians. God punish any APC zombie that dares quote me this morning. 1 Like 1 Share |
