Why I Will Not Vote For Buhari by Nobody: 3:25am On Mar 16, 2011 |
Originally By: Kekere ekun In my books, Buhari is a pretentious anti-corruption fighter. The trajectory of a man's journey in public life matters. For the follwoing reasons I can not vote for Buhari 1. He is an oligarch who does not believe in equality before the law. The way he jailed Lateef Jakande, Jim Nwobodo, Ambrose Ali, Pa Adekunle Ajasin, Chief Ayo Ojewumi on cases that had no foundation and allowed Awwal Ibrahim, the then Niger State governor, who was arrested in Heathrow Airport in London with 14 million pounds sterling and several millions of Niara and dollars to be under house arrest is my evidence. He also allowed Shehu Kangiwa, Sokoto State Governor who conducted and supervised the famous Bakolori Massacre of poor peasant farmers whose land were appropriated without compesation to remain under house arrest. 1(a) Ayo Ojewumi became blind as a result of his imprisonment over false charges and died shortly after. 1 (b) Prof. Ambrose Alli also became blind as a result of this false imprisonment. When he died, he had only one undeveloped plot of land to his name. 1© Pa Adekule Ajasin was never the same after his eventual release and remained sickly for the rest of his life. Whe he died, he never had any property anywhere in the world except the one he had built from his sweat as long term teacher and school principal in Owo township. 2. He put in place a retroactive law that killed three men, innocent men in my book, by public execution. He left untouched an alleged well known drug baron in Ibrahim Babangida who later overthrew his government. 3. He jailed Ndukar Irabor and Tunde Thompson of the Guardian on stories that were factually true under Decree 4. He had told the Nigerian journalists then that it did not matter whether the story reported was true or not, if his regime did not like it, the writer would go to jail. 4. He supervised the smuggling of 53 suitcases filled with cash througth the MMA against the protests of General Tunde Idiagbon and ironically, Abubakar Atiku, the then Director General of the Customs who later became the Vice President and a compromised politician himself. This smuggling of the suit cases were supervised by his ADC, Col. Mustapha Jokolo. 5. He jaile Fela Anikulapo -Kuti on trumped up charges under emergency law which prompted the sentencing judge to confess that he was ordered to do so and apologised to the late musician 6. He convinced all the northern political leaders against allowing the National Identity Card program because according to him, this would unravel the myth of Northern population majority 7. He is an Islamic fundamentalist, the Bin Laden of Nigeria, who told his northern followers never to vote for anyone who was not a muslim. 8. He is a coup plotter. 9. He has never been able to account to Nigerians what he did with the 20 billion Naira of the Petroleum Trust Fund of which he was the chairman under Sani Abacha. 9(a) He has not been able to point to any project that he prosecuted outside the Northern Nigeria with the so-caled trust fund. 10. He was in full support of all the atrocities of Sani Abacha against the Nigerian people. There is no single record of his criticism of Sani Abacha during those dark days when Nigeria was on precipice. It shows that he is a patriot of convenience and as such unfit to lead the country. I can not in good conscience support Buhari's candidacy on the above grounds. I hope and pray that Nigerians would not make any mistake of putting him in the helm of affairs. |

A vote for Buhari is a vote for Tyranny. Jonathan remains the best option for now. |

Sharia came into being only during PDP lead government, Boko haram exist only during PDP During Buhari's days we all withness how he crushed mai tatsine (Ismalic sect that are worst than boko haram) in Gombe, Yola and Maiduguri Buhari fight corrupt leaders, he institutionalise sense of national patriotism in the heart of Nigerians, imagine recently an ambassadorial nominee fail the recitation of national anthem, is that not a shame |

@OP All those mentioned in your writing have committed one offense or the other hence their facing the law. Instead of the PDP let government to try and convict criminals it rather not only release but wine and dine with them. Your list or any other of that matter will not change our determination to make Nigeria great again! BB All the way |

PDP is really scared of the BB ticket. I cant imagine how much they paid for this crap write-up. PDP has been in power for 12 years. And these have been wasted years. This time around, we want change. BB all the way. Having said that, PDP should request for a refund of the money paid for this write up. It's a senseless attempt at discrediting the most integrous presidential candidate. So many distorted facts. |
