We Are Not Worried About Buhari's Age But The Age Of His Ideas - Akpabio by Nobody: 11:07am On Mar 11, 2015
Akwa Ibom State governor Godswill Akpabio has declared that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress Muhammadu Buhari is not too old to lead the country if he is healthy enough to do so. However, he noted that Nigerians will not allow Buhari to use an old trick to deceive them.

Speaking at a strategy meeting of the PDP governors in Lagos, Akpabio said: “We are aware that some people have complained about the age of General Buhari. But we do not see anything wrong with his age if he thinks he can withstand the rigours of the job.

“But, we are extremely concerned about the age of his ideas. We are concerned that a man who could not take charge when he was in his 40s but rather bequeathed, to historical infamy, a regime named after two people (Idiagbon/Buhari regime instead of one person as has always been the case) cannot take charge at 73 when his health would need constant monitoring.


“We are concerned about the age of his ideas because 50 years after the first coup, hinged on fighting corruption, Buhari is still thinking of using the same subterfuge to deceive us today. We dare not allow anyone to use a 50-year-old trick to destroy our democratic values. We are wiser today.”

The governor also cited what he claimed as contradictory positions by the APC on the Boko Haram insurgency, saying the party has moved between accommodating the group and pushing for its extinction.

“When the Federal Government was contemplating negotiating with the dreaded Boko Haram group, Boko Haram nominated Gen. Buhari as their chief negotiator. The APC is like the man who set his seat ablaze in the theatre, and ran out screaming, ‘fire, fire, fire.’ But God has intervened, and we are defeating Boko Haram.

“Despite the antics of the opposition and others sympathetic to Boko Haram, the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, and indeed the military have been able to rise to the occasion by decimating insurgents and restoring hope of a peaceful North-East in particular and Nigeria in general.”

Akpabio also faulted the preparation of INEC for the elections, warning that no voters must be deprived of their rights to vote on account of what he described as the failures of the card readers.

“We reassert that on no account should any registered voter be disenfranchised for non-possession of PVCs owing to no personal fault or rejection by faulty card readers.”

Someone is already scared of going to jail.

The fear of Buhari's ideas is the beginning of a long vacation in kirikiri.

That's a confirmed report. At first he raised the eyebrows of his colleagues when he said he had no issue with GMBs age, but by the time he landed with the concept, "... but with the age... of his ideas", everyone couldn't help but applaud him.

His classic opinion though.

during buhari's regime, inflation dropped from 40% to 5.5%... Is this buhari's idea a bad one to akpabio?

During buhari's regime, our native currency enjoyed a stablity of $1.5,#0.9 and D.M.3.5 to 1 nigerian naira between 1984 - 1985. Is this buhari's idea a bad one to akpabio?

Nigeria first petroleum storage and distribution depots with a capacity each to store between 14 and 45 days fuel for domestic consumption were set up during buhari's tenure. Is akpabio also seeing this as a bad idea? Buhari achieved all these and many more within a very short period of 18months.

Buhari's regime would have turned Nigeria ionto a fulfilling promised land had it not been sacked by fifth columnist of the nigeria military elite.

Akpabio should better zip his mouth if he don't have anything good to say about the people's general.

all this half baked illiterates self for this NL.... Is it not the commander that gives orders to his subordinates? So you want to tell us that idiagbon was acting without instructions from his superior officer(buhari)?

Confirmed
A man who campaigned for four weeks, speaking for less than one hour in all the rallies put together and needed to rest for 15 days should just stay at home and be playing with his grandchildren rather than struggling to take up a job that he does not have the required mental and physical strength to do.

BUHARI IS THE ONLY CHANGE WE NEED


ALL THE IGBO SLAVES SUPPORTING THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION SHALL BE PUT TO SHAME.

BUHARI WILL WIN AND NOTHING Y'ALL CAN DO ABOUT IT.

ISN'T IT A SHAME TO JONATHAN THAT WITH ALL THE STATE RESOURCES AT HIS DISPOSAL, THE NAME BUHARI STILL GIVES HIM SLEEPLESS NIGHTS

BUHARI DOESN'T HAVE THE DOLLARS TO SHARE BUT HAS THE INTEGRITY TO SET A TEMPLATE FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE.

TO THE MUMU AKPABIO, HOW OLD WAS MANDELA'S IDEA IN SOUTH AFRICA WHEN HE BECAME PRESIDENT AT 74

BUHARI IS NOT PERFECT, BUT WE HAVE THE CONFIDENCE IN HIM TO FLUSH OUT YOU LOOTERS AND SEND YOU TO 200YEARS IN JAIL LIKE HE DID IN THE PAST


ALL YOU THIEVES SHOULD START PACKING YOUR BAGS AND FLEE ONCE BUHARI IS SWORN IN.
