Dear General Buhari; I would’ve addressed this
letter privately to you, but in the expectation
that you may not receive it, I decided to make
it an Open Letter, in the hope that you would
stumble on it, read it and hopefully feel some
of the pains and anguish that have been my lot. Having said that, permit me therefore to
proceed with the rest of this missive from the
grave of innocents departed. Last night, while I was at my modest home in
Katsina, relaxing and probably half-awake, I
heard the voice of my cousin who was killed in
the North in April 2011 during the post-
election violence instigated by your loss of the
presidential election. With bloodshot sad eyes, my cousin, looking apparition-like, was wailing
“Gen Buhari, why why”. My cousin’s name is (or
was) Mallam Yusuf Danfulani, a bright young
lad originally from Katsina State, who was
slaughtered in cold blood and set on fire by
youths chanting “Sai Buhari”, like they are again now chanting in 2015. Gen Buhari, in case you have forgotten, Yusuf
was slaughtered in your name even though he
never did any wrong to you, and even voted
for you against Dr Jonathan. He lost his life just
because the murderers you encouraged by
your many hate speeches believed Yusuf to be from middle belt or southern Nigeria, most
probably because of his bulky looks and brave,
patriotic attempts to prevent the killing of an
innocent Youth Corper, Ukeoma Ikechukwu.
Even though he cried out in Hausa and Fulfulde,
he was still not believed by those you (Buhari) managed to brainwash to see all non-Fulani
Nigerians as conspiring to vote against you. In
this very case, Yusuf voted for you but his ‘Sai
Buhari’ killers never believed he did. Like you,
Gen Buhari, the mob was baying for the blood
of innocents. If not for Yusuf’s best friend who was with him
and was himself nearly killed, we would not
have recognized his charred body that was
burnt beyond recognition. And thanks to the
same friend for recounting to us the little he
could make out at the last moments of Yusuf’s life, the agony he passed through and the
most important words he uttered before he
gave up. It is the same words I heard him utter
last night from the grave: ‘Gen Buhari, why
why’. Yet, to this day, you (Buhari) have not
cared to apologize or show any remorse, but you instead offered lame excuses for the
bloodletting you had instigated, and still
instigate. I now ask you this: Gen Buhari, must
you always shade blood, like you started doing
from 1983, to rule Nigeria? Do you recall how
you killed Brigadier Bako in 1983 just so you could take power by force from Shehu Shagari? General Buhari, Ukeoma Ikechukwu himself was
reported missing that same day Yusuf was
murdered by your supporters, and finally
confirmed dead the following day when his
charred remains was discovered in a hooded
area. Apparently, your supporters had dragged him out of the open and tortured him before
finally snuffing life out of him. Like my cousin,
Yusuf, Ukeoma was very young and an
innocent. Unlike Dr. Jonathan, they were not
contesting against you. Yet, when they were
killed, part of Nigeria was killed with them; the same Nigeria that you are now angrily
campaigning to rule. Yusuf and Ukeoma were not alone. Six other
innocent Youth Corpers were also murdered in
Bauchi, where you Buhari, polled 1,315,209
votes (almost 82 per cent), defeating Dr
Jonathan who scored 258,404 votes and did
not even hit the 25 per cent mark. The corps members were reportedly chased to a police
station where they sought refuge. But the
rioters, who were raving mad with bloodlust
and chanting “Sai Buhari”, overran the station
and murdered the young Nigerians in cold
blood. So, Gen Buhari, as you can see from the Bauchi result and it’s aftermath, your
supporters even shade blood when you win;
still you have no qualms. Today, you are
prancing around the nation, arrogant and
angry as usual, behaving like you have already
won the election; and thus setting up another bloodletting if you are not announced winner. The story of Obinna Okpokiri is as heart-
wrenching as Yusuf’s. The 27-year-old was
butchered and burnt to ashes, in the service of
his fatherland. Okpokiri’s own circumstances
were as gruesome as they could be. He had
run to the Corpers’ Lodge as the rampaging ‘Sai Buhari’ rioters targeted Youth Corper
polling officers recruited by INEC for the
election. As painful death loomed, the young
Nigerians contemplated fleeing to the
barracks. But they were not lucky enough. Your
‘Sai Buhari’ supporters caught up with them, slaughtered and set them on fire. Like Yusuf,
these innocents are human beings and future
leaders on the last laps of fulfilling their
national duty before moving on to a bright
future. But it was not to be because, in your
name, Gen Buhari, they were slaughtered, sliced, soaked in petrol and scorched. Reduced
to ashes in minutes and in the most callous
fashion by those that are not better citizens or
humans than them. General Buhari, while you are now busy inciting
another violence, please bear in mind that in
2011, your supporters turned violent in whole
12 northern states as they burned the homes,
vehicles, and properties of innocent Nigerians,
some of whom are also Muslims and Northerners like you and my cousin Yusuf. Your
‘Sai Buhari’ supporters also targeted and killed
Christians and members of southern Nigerian
ethnic groups, who were seen as supporting
the PDP, and they burnt churches across the
north. One particular attack in Bauchi stood out as most heart-breaking. According to
Human Rights Watch, on April 17 in Giade, a rural town in northern Bauchi, ‘Sai Buhari’ mobs
attacked youth corps members in the town.
The Corpers, who were mostly from Yoruba,
ran to the local police station to seek refuge,
but the mobs stormed the police station. The
mob killed the police officer on duty and burned down the police station. They raped
two of the female youth corps members and
then hacked them to death with machetes,
along with five male youth corps members. In
total, rioters killed ten youth corps members in
that town alone. A lecturer at the Nuhu Bamalli Polytechnic,
Zaria, Kaduna State, described to Human
Rights Watch how a mob of Muslims chanting
“Change, Sai Buhari” attacked and killed several
Christian students, a Christian lecturer and four
Muslim students suspected of being PDP sympathizers on April 17: He said “Between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m., they entered the school chanting slogans and shouting: “Where are the
Christians and Muslims that supported the ruling
party?” They had painted their faces black and
were shouting that they needed “change”, the
Congress for Progressive Change campaign
slogan. The mob had all sorts of weapons – machetes, sticks, and clubs. They started breaking
the glass on the buildings. The students ran away
but the mob pursued them into the staff quarters
and they had nowhere to go. The mob beat them
to death. The lecturer they killed was Yoruba“. Finally, Gen Buhari, let me end this letter by
asking you this question: When are you going
to apologize to me, to Yusuf’s aged parents,
to Ukeoma’s parents, to parents of all
innocents murdered by your brainwashed
supporters, to Nigeria and to mankind? And here is Yusuf again, asking you from the grave:

You sound so foooooooooooooooooollish.


Bring all your family members for slaughter and afterwards make this comment and see how you'll feel.


Wawan yaro, shege banza kawai.

Thrice I've escaped Buhari's brutal killing in the north.

Those our foolish igbos there won't leave them and secure their lives first by returning, until they wipe all of them off.


This Nigeria needs separation.

It's so rare for a Hausa man to speak truth, but this OP just did.

Probably because he lost his brother.

This same Buhari brutal killing killed hundreds in Niger state in 2011 elections and subsidy chaos.


BUHARI IS A COMPLETE DEFINITION OF MURDERER.

HE will die shamefully after losing this election.

So touching. OMG! I read this with gooze pimples all over my body. God, let your judgement fall heavily on this man and his followers and save us from this inpending doom. except you are not GOD.
