Re: Buhari has not fulfilled all his campaign promises

Dear Sir (Elder Statesman Bashir Othman Tofa),

I read your recent interview with the Daily Trust Newspaper and I was disappointed with your thrust and conclusions. Your usual frankness and decisiveness are clearly missing.

Sir, you stated that president Buhari did not fulfil all his campaign promises because he does not have the good team that will help him. By implication you are suggesting that president Buhari has fulfilled some of his campaign promises. Sir, please can you name a single campaign promise that Buhari has fulfilled? Can you name one sector of the Nigerian life that the genocidal Buhari regime has improved on?

As for the fight against corruption, president Buhari underlined his status as a monumental fraudster by appointing a notorious treasury looters, #Magu, as the head of the anti-corruption agency, EFCC. The then National Assembly under Bukola Saraki consistently refused to approve the appointment of Magu due to the damning report of corruption cases against him but the usual sturbon Buhari refused to bulge.

As for security, Nigeria has never had it bad like what we have today. Truth must be told for posterity. In the midst of a bloody insurgency that has claimed more that 50,000 innocent lives, president Buhari has freed thousands of BokoHaram terrorists using the fraudulent pretext of "Repentance". The Governor of Borno state, professor Babagana Zulum, and a serving Senator from Borno state told Nigerians that these "repentant" BokoHaram terrorists has since returned to active service.

The gross incompetency and acute irresponsiblility of president Buhari groomed the murderous armed banditry that want to consume the North West and North Central. His cluelessness, village mentality and warped mindset were seen in the unchecked and unchallenged rise of the murderous armed banditry in Northern Nigeria. Buhari thought using soft approach to Killer Fulani Herders underlined his love for the Fulani tribe. Buhari was ignorant of the fact that these Killer Herders pose existential threat to the law abiding Fulani Herders who are the majority. Due to this official rascality of president Buhari today the Fulani tribe that is associated with deep Islamic Scholarship is today associated with armed banditry and Kidnapping.

As for the economy sector, that is the worst performance of the Buhari regime. Today as I write Nigeria is the extreme poverty capital of the whole world with more than half of it population in the extreme poverty bracket. A recent report by the agency of statistics, Nigeria has the second highest unemployment rate in the world with more than 40% unemployment in some sectors. Inflation is the order of the day under the Buhari regime. Prices of goods and services are sky rocketing on daily bases. And Buhari enabled this unprecedented inflation with massive increase in Taxation.

Dear Sir, the acute nepotism of president Buhari has destroyed all the pillars holding the Nigerian state. Bishop Matthew Kukah spoke against this recently. President Buhari thinks appointing his Northern Muslims equates to good governance. Northern Christians make up more than 30% of the population of Northern Nigeria. There are 3 states in the North with Christian majority. Most of the states in the North East and North Central has large Christian minority. President Buhari maginalized them despite the fact their votes contributed largely to his victory during the 2015 elections.

This acute nepotism has now triggered massive and unprecedented tribal agitations from the South. The gross incompetency of Buhari created the Nnamdi Kanu phenomenon. When the Biafran agitation started Buhari sent heavily-armed soldiers to mass murder hundreds of unarmed Igbo Youths in the South East. Today as I write a low level insurgency has started in the South East. Military personel, police and paramilitary Organizations are being attacked and killed daily in that region. In just 7 days 4 police stations were completely burnt down in Anambra state.

The acute nepotism of Buhari has again helped the rise of another tribal war lord in the South West, Sunday Igboho. This guy recently declared a Yoruba republic and massive mobilization is going on unchecked and unchallenged.

Dear Sir, I will like to remind you that the Buhari regime is the only government in Nigerian history that has perpetrated genocide. More than one thousand innocent men, women, children and infants were brutally murdered by the Nigerian army in Zaria in December, 2015. All their dead bodies were wickedly dumped in the multiple Shia mass graves and the Survivors of that genocide framed with murder! Two competent courts in Kaduna freed all of them from the fake, fraudulent and fabricated trump-up of the Buhari gang of bloodthirsty killers and monumental fraudsters after spending more than 4 years in that dilapidated Kaduna prison. Sir, can you imagine this level of extreme wickedness and monstrous savagery? The leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky, is still in that dilapidated Kaduna prison with his wife. It is important to note that Buhari gang killed their three (3) biological children in their residence and in their presence and burnt down all their properties. The Saudi-sponsored #ZariaGenocide is not the only massacre of unarmed Shia civilians by the genocidal Buhari regime. There were the Kano Arbaeen massacre of 2016 and the Abuja massacre of 2018. Hundreds of peaceful #FreeZakzaky protesters have been murdered by the Nigerian army and police on Nigerian streets. The genocidal Buhari regime that freed thousands of BokoHaram terrorists is notorious in killing peaceful protesters. The #LekkiTollGate massacre is the latest.

On a final note, sorry for taking much of your time. My audience and I will be expecting your answer on the achievements of the genocidal Buhari regime. Thank you Sir!

Did any previous president fullfil any of theirs. We all know our politicians as promise and fail people, so why would you even take their promises to heart.
