Buhari’s Independent Speech Shows Fixated Hatred For Igbos – Ozekhome by LadyNaija(f): 11:47pm On Oct 01, 2017 |
Abuja-Constitutional Lawyer and Human Rights Activist, Chief Mike Ozekhome has described the 57th independence day anniversary speech given by President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday, October 1, as not only un-presidential but un-reconciliatory. The Senior Advocate of Nigeria said the speech clearly showed Buhari’s disdain and fixated hatred for the Igbos when he lambasted the entire South East leaders for allowing the agitation of a people feeling seriously marginalized and oppressed. Furthermore, Ozekhome wondered how Buhari could see nothing wrong in the murderous and rampaging activities of herdsmen across the country as well as the illegal authorization by Arewa youths to Nigerians to quit Northern Nigeria without any repercussion against them. In a statement he signed last night, entitled ‘President Muhammadu Buhari’s National Day Broadcast: Yet Another Golden Opportunity Lost’, Ozekhome said, “The entire national day broadcast by PMB on the occasion of Nigeria’s 57th independence is quite disappointing in all ramifications”. “It was very un-presidential and un-reconciliatory. PMB left the real issues and pursued trifles”. “The speech was bereft of nobility of statesmanship, and devoid of a calm grasp and appraisals of the dire straits Nigeria is currently in”. “The broadcast was rabidly narcissist, parochial, nepotic and clannish, as it failed to see anything wrong with the blatant and well reported threats by the Arewa youths to quit fellow Nigerians from their domains”. “The speech followed his now well worn out fixation of perceived hatred for the Igbo race, whose leadership he needlessly scurilized and lampooned, for allegedly being behind IPOB and other agitations”. “I doubt and didn’t hear him mention anything about gun wielding herdsmen that literally vanquish citizens in their own homesteads across Nigeria”. “The President celebrated mediocrity and edified his government’s non-performance two and half years down the line”. Ozekhome continued, “I genuinely wondered if he was discussing the same country, Nigeria, that I am in, or another utopian planet Mars”. “The beautiful picture of a peaceful country he painted so glowingly and artistically with the paintbrush of breathless satisfaction is quite different from the stark reality on the ground, which every beleaguered Nigerian labours under”. “His speech writers either wallowed in utopian mystic of redemptive messianism, or in crass fraud and grand deception”. “But, Nigerians are no fools. Did I hear PMB say this is the first time a government at the Centre is losing the governorship, senatorial and Houses of Assembly’s elections to the opposite at the state level? “No sir, wrong. Whoever gave Mr. President this false electoral history has done him incalculable disservice and great damage and ridicule’. “Few examples: Remember Ondo state (Labour Party), Osun and Edo states (AC), Anambra (APGA), etc? “Not only did the ruling PDP party lose the elections to those opposition parties, the then President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan actually rolled out the drums and congratulated the new governors, Senators and House members”. “Peter Obi won the Anambra state governorship election in 2010 for the second time on the platform of APGA”. “Obasanjo was President at the Centre under the PDP party, just as Bola Tinubu won the Lagos state governorship seat twice under AD and ACN, with Obasanjo as president under PDP at the Centre”. “Buhari lost yet another golden opportunity to balm bruised nationalities’ ego and cement Nigeria’s yawning cleavages, hate and divisiveness”. “Must everything be predicated on falsehood, force, threats and gun boat diplomacy, viet armis? “It didn’t ever work. When he applied such excessive force and threats to the Niger Delta militants, I counseled then it would not work”. “The marginalized youth picked up the gauntlet, serially blew up oil pipelines, tore up Nigeria’s oil jugular into smithereens”. “Crude oil output plummeted to about 700 thousand barrels per day from 1.5m barrels”. “It took the then Acting President Yemi Osibanjo’s shuttle diplomacy to the Niger Delta region to quell the strife”. “It was Napoleon Bonarparte, a French General and Emperor (1769-1821), who famously declared: “do you know what amazes me more than anything else? The impotence of force to organize anything”. “PMB sir, allow Nigerians enjoy the full bloom of democracy and its inbuilt mechanisms for conflict resolution.” SPEECH BELOW; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6_x3CE1hnY http://www.naijanewspapers.com.ng/2017/10/buharis-independent-speech-shows.html [img]https://1.bp..com/-SaNP3vPi0dg/WdFv1_uXXbI/AAAAAAAAHDs/Wx9X1-Mx3rc8r8SSA2LsmPIXRE8B1V0SgCLcBGAs/s640/Mike-Ozekhome.jpg[/img] 137 Likes 17 Shares |

If the man of hope can talk all these trash then there is no hope (or a hopeless hope) for Nigeria to ever unite. The man isn't fit to be a President. For now I am after God and the dead Presidents. 254 Likes 24 Shares |

I have problem with people who refer to this country as Zoo or jungle. I mean that's unfair to all the animals in Zoo or jungle, for Lugard sake, they are more organized.

SAN, Sir, please, pen down another statement for our feeble-minded, parochial and uncultured South Eastern Governors including that one who has reduced himself to nothingness in his bid to save himself from the hook of the law over his treacherous loots during his tenure as Abia state governor and perhaps, his utopian Presidential ambition; yes, he's called Orji Uzo Kalu. Help us minute some senses matched with fierceness to them. They seem to be worst off; because the saying goes..."the enemy within is greater than the enemy without" 57 Likes 6 Shares |

i supported buhari last election for one reason, reason be that we need a change of government atleast we were tired of PDP. i am more concerned with electricity and believe buhari have what it takes to fix power but i was wrong. the fuel pump price and electricity which i believe if it were to be stable and affordable Nigeria will be transformed. but indeed i was wrong. this man don't have the solution to Nigeria problem. 163 Likes 10 Shares |

Have come to realize that the president is the problem really... If we have gone through 55 years and never had it this bad even after the biafran war, abacha stringent regime, oil sales at lowest, and what not. Its not any of us/region/tribe/religion... we had in that same 55 years been the Happiest people in the world despite having a civil war in-between Its the bitter truth, but its the president. 33 Likes 5 Shares

LadyNaija: This obviously biased ipob apologist (if not even a member) did not notice or just pretend the president did not address the issue other time when PMB returned from medical leave and gave a national broadcast reeling out riot act and stamping out hate speech generally without focus on any particular group. And he also didn't notice the disdain from IPOB not honoring court restrain on Kanu. And who on earth are these people that think everyone in the country should be sympathetic to them as if they are the only ones that have issues withe federal government? 2019 is around the corner. Soon they will remind us how they have been marginalized in Lagos by not "conceding" the governorship ticket to them. 26 Likes 5 Shares |

His hatred for the Igbo runs very deep in his veins. No matter how hard he tries to mask it, it always has a way of revealing itself, both in his utterances and actions. 25 Likes |
