I’d vote Muslim-Muslim ticket if it ill stop a Fulani from taking over from another Fulani – Rivers PDP chair

By ofomata -September 20, 2022



Desmond Akawor, the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Rivers State has said that the Presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar cannot solve the security problems of the country if he wins.

He said that Nigeria’s problems is mainly the issue of movement of Fulanis into Nigeria, saying that the former vice-president cannot deal with the problem because he is Fulani man.

He disclosed this during an interview with Sun Newspapers.

“Atiku cannot solve the problem of insecurity. I’m from Oyigbo, Rivers State. Our people are more of cassava producers and you expect me to tell my people not to farm or produce cassava because of the fear of getting attacked by Fulani herdsmen in their farms?

“A Fulani cannot stop Miyetti Allah. It is a natural thing for them. So, if another Fulani man comes on board, he will not stop Miyetti Allah from operating their cow business. That is what is going on in the country today and that is why the president cannot speak against them or act against them”.

On Muslim/Muslim presidential ticket, Akawor said that Nigeria needs to be careful as a country, likening Muslim-Muslim ticket to Fulani-Fulani ticket.

He said: “We need to be very careful as a country on the issue of Muslim/Muslim ticket and Fulani/Fulani ticket.

“We all knew how we celebrated Mohammadu Buhari when he was a military head of state with Tunde Ideagbon. It was the same thing during the 1993 elections when Abiola emerged with another Muslim; none of us was interested in Muslim/ Muslim ticket.

“We struggled for Abiola, so this time around, let us not be confused. The issue is that lets look at the competency of the candidates in question. Are we concerned about Muslim/Muslim or are we concerned about Fulani/Fulani? The crisis we have in West Africa, is it a Muslim/Muslim issue or a Fulani/Fulani Jihad?

“What is happening to us in Nigeria, in Benue, in Zamfara, in Sokoto, is it the Muslims that are being saved or some Fulani movement that is eliminating our people? We need to be careful in taking decisions, we have choices in our hands.

“So, for me, one thing we must stop is the Fulani/Fulani movement. If at the end of the day the option/alternative becomes a Muslim/Muslim agenda, in order to stop another Fulani president from succeeding a former Fulani president, I will support the agenda as Desmond Akawor.

“So, it’s good to get this picture right, people talk about Muslim/Muslim ticket, nobody talks about the continuation of a Fulani man taking over from a Fulani president.

“So, you look at what is going on at the West African coast right from Upper volta down, there is a movement that feels that Nigeria is where they should settle. Something happened in Turkey before it happened close to Nigeria. Again, I implore us to be careful. In fact, when people say Tinubu’s wife Remi is a pastor in Redeemed and they live in the same room, those are not the issues. The question is who is Tinubu as a person? Is he somebody that will change the misfortunes of the country? That is my concern”.

Shame.

What is your reaction to the APC Muslim/Muslim presidential ticket?

We need to be very careful as a country on the issue of Muslim/Muslim ticket and Fulani/Fulani ticket.

We all knew how we celebrated Mohammadu Buhari when he was a military head of state with Tunde Ideagbon. It was the same thing during the 1993 elections when Abiola emerged with another Muslim; none of us was interested in Muslim/ Muslim ticket.

Is he somebody that will change the misfortunes of the country? That is my concern. The one I don’t want us to agree on is this Igbo presidency coming from the South East.

What is your particular reason for this? Don’t you think power should go to the South-East for justice and equity?

The particular reason I don’t want us to agree on Igbo presidency is because it is doing nobody any good.

A Fulani cannot stop Miyetti Allah. It is a natural thing for them. So, if another Fulani man comes on board, he will not stop Miyetti Allah from operating their cow business. That is what is going on in the country today and that is why the president cannot speak against them or act against them. That is my answer to you.

What kind of president does Nigeria need in 2023?

We deserve a president that will be transparent, truthful and not selfish.

A president that will see Nigeria as his own constituency and a president that will bring in devolution of power and resource control to enhance and improve human productivity. That is the kind of president I think Nigeria needs.

Akawor should help and tell Wike to finish that Oyigbo Rd and stop going to Egberu through Ogoni Rd. He has his own Rd too. When that is done. Then we can talk about voting for Wike or Tafawa Balewa

Fake news

Shettima is the architect behind the Chibok abductions as his govt was the one which ordered all state schools in the troubled Chibok area to resume schools during the holidays under the excuse of prepping for the WAEC examinations despite WAEC already writing to the state govt that the exams will not hold in the state owing to insecurity .

The school principal of Chibok Girls secondary school, who sent an ultimatum to parents of the majority Christian school girls to have their wards back in school or forget writing the exams was nowhere to be found on the premises on the day of the attack despite her official residence located within the school grounds. This evil Muslim woman's testimony was so full of holes when questioned by Patience Jonathan that the former First lady had to scream out "there is God ohh" which the opposition weaponized as a meme mocking the first lady to distract from what her public inquiry was able to unearth. The school principal disappeared into thin air after being excused to gather more facts on the number of girls abducted. She became a person of interests to the authorities when she went underground and revelations from parents of the girls exposed that she threatened to bar any of the young girls from writing the final exams if they didn't report to campus during the school break. This evil heartless woman will later be reintegrated, rehabilitated and promoted to the position of Commissioner for Education by the Shettima government immediately Buhari was sworn in .

Shettima is a terrorist sympathiser, financier and henchman .

it's on obvious that wike is pained that he got sidelined after all the barking he did.

Our forefathers have to introduce minister of state for xxxx just so that everyone will belong. This is because the seat of ministers isn't enough to accommodate everyone.

There is no reason whatsoever for a party to field candidates from Same religion of tribe.

Even buhari with all his incompetence didn't settle for that, that's why he didn't pick Tinubu as his VP.

If this Muslim tickets succed, it's going to gv room for a lot of injustice.

We are still crying over buharis loop sided appointments.


Anyone supporting this APC Muslim Muslim candidacy does not like justice, equity and fairness.
