Gen Muhammadu Buhari And Matters Arising... by Nobody: 5:18pm On Mar 04, 2015 |
1. CAMPAIGN FUNDING: Moneybags or The Masses? Muhammadu Buhari said in Dec 24, 2014 that no moneybag will fund his campaign, but the masses will. He said he wouldn't want anybody to hijack his government IF elected. In his own words “My strength mainly are the ordinary people. N100 is plenty of money for them and I know that they are going to make the sacrifice required for the change we are looking for, especially when I made them a promise to be transparent and personally be responsible for the money. I depend on them and we are taking this idea mainly from what happened in the United States of America. “When he came with this idea, he was able to finance his campaign without looking for money bags or anybody influential and so, he remained independent and was hostage to nobody. This is what I want to achieve.” However, on the 7th of January 2015, it was reported that exVice President Atiku Abubakar(who was indicted by the Senate for diverting funds meant for the PTDF in 2007) donated N50 million, an aircraft and 12 Land Cruiser Sports Utility Vehicles to Buhari’s campaign www.thisdaylive.com/articles/the-atiku-they-didn-8217-t-know/198587/ Same January 7th, It was also reported that Imo State Governor Owelle Rochas Okorocha donated Presidential campaign bus that is valued to N50million to Buhari Campaign. Is it that Buhari has finally surrendered to the moneybags or he has been clipped by these moneybags and his campaign hijacked by these men? 2. CORRUPT OFFICIALS PROBE: Compromised or Clipped? In 2012 while speaking with SaharaTV, Buhari decried the level of corruption and scams going on since 1999, specifically the the $6.8 billion dollars fuel subsidy fraud, the N155 billion Malabu oil block scam, and the N36.8 billion police pension scheme. He advocated for government to prosecute, arrest and execute indicted officials based on documentary evidence. In his firm and assertive manner, he said “Just use the documentary evidence and prosecute them and jail them or shoot them.” saharareporters.com/2012/06/06/prosecute-them-and-jail-them-or-shoot-them-says-gen-buhari-saharatv Buhari since 2003 has made it clear that he's coming to rid the system off corruption and bring perpetrators to justice. This is one attribute of his that even his detractors admired. We were shocked to the bones when John Oyegun on December 29, 2014 said that the APC and Buhari has agreed "Not to probe the past". More shocking was Buhari's speech in London on Feb 26, when he said he won't probe the past (thecityreporters.com/i-wont-probe-past-nigerian-leaders-buhari/ ). One begins to wonder whether Muhammadu Buhari has given up on the probe of former thieves so as not to offend the cabals within his party or he has been clipped by the "cabals" within his party who knows that probing the past will send them to jail. If Buhari insist on not probing the past, then he has to apologise to Second Republic Politicians that he visited their sins when he came onboard. He also has no business in Aso Rock as the incumbent is also focusing on the present(which he plan to do). 3. OFFICE OF THE FIRST LADY: To Be or Not To Be? On December 26,2014, Buhari specifically said in Kaduna that there will be NO Office of the First Lady if elected. He said the Ministry of Women Affairs will be allowed to play such role. He was very emphatic, which I believe was in tandem with our constitution. However, we are witnessing a turn around where his wife Mrs Aisha Buhari has been touring the country campaigning for her husband. Mrs Aisha in a speech on January 24, 2015 said “If the office of the first lady is constitutionally recognised, he will not tamper with it, but if it is not, that’s okay.". (www.punchng.com/news/buhari-wont-scrap-first-ladys-office-wife/ ). One begins to wonder whether Mrs Buhari doesn't know that the office is unconstitutional and the "IF" in her statement is not even in contention or Is it that Gen Buhari has changed his mind with respect to the office(which I insist is unconstitutional). 4. POST ELECTION: The Court or Lawlessness? In 2003 Gen Buhari the candidate of ANPP spent 20 months in court challenging the fraudulent election result as announced by Obasanjo(navigator) INEC. In 2007 Gen Buhari also went to court to challenge the election of Musa Yardua even against the wish of his party that decided to join the Yaradua Government of National Unity(the Oyegun group). Buhari contested and challenged the result of President Jonathan as the CPC candidate. He lost yet he had his head high because he followed through democratic means. Sadly, as candidate of the APC, his party through its Chairman and Campaign D-G vowed to form "Alternative Government" if by their own judgement the Presidential election was rigged. They also specifically said they won't go to court to challenge the result. In other words they are ready to burn the country and cause chaos rather than take the "evidence" to court(if any). Is it that General Buhari is tired of following constitutional process or he has been totally hijacked by his Associates? Will Buhari tolerate such a threat from any quarter if he was the incumbent? BONUS: 5. PASTOR BRIBE: Amaechi(APC) or GEJ(PDP) Earlier in February Amaechi accused PDP(GEJ) of bribing Pastors with N6 billion. However, he was challenged by Pastor Adeboye of RCCG to mention names but till today he has gone mute. On the other hand, Bishop Emmah Isong, Chairman, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) in Cross River State accused Amaechi of bribing 500 Pastors in Hotel Presidential, Rivers state. He challenged Amaechi to refute the allegation but till today Amaechi didn't deny. www.naij.com/382942-amaechi-paid-500-pastors-to-campaign-for-buhari-bishop-isong.html If Amaechi is very sure of his allegation against the PDP, why is he mute on alleged receivers of the bribe? Is Amaechi guilty of bribing the Pastors as alleged by the PFN Chief? 34 Likes 10 Shares |

Everyone has an opinion my friend, even mad men. However, opinion backed by empirical evidence is what we should be making at this stage. 4.

He said if he was to go after corrupt officials, his government will not have time to face more serious issues of nation building. 10 Likes |

I once heard, there is an animal in every man. Now I see the animal in Barcanista. You are just pathetic. Interestingly, you have been castigating GMB lately on the other hand I can feel your pain why you have not put in any good word for GEJ because there is nothing good about the drunken fisherman. 4 year ago, the slogan was fresh air. We know how fresh the has been. One thing is certain, there is no way GEJ will win a free and fair election against GMB. Initially, i wondered what went wrong with you. Now, i can bet my life that you have been compromised!!!. As a young man, just know that you are selling your future and that of your children for pittance. 27 Likes 2 Shares |
