Buhari Says Obasanjo’s Letter Is Abusive by actiondrilling: 1:14pm On May 01, 2018
President Muhammadu Buhari, has for the first time, made a scanty reference to ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo and called it “abusive’’.

Buhari said he did not want a response to the letter which derided the government and urged Buhari not to seek a second term

“Even when the Minister of Information and Culture wanted to reply that abusive letter written by former President Olusegun Obasanjo I had wanted Lai not to reply to the letter, but I said I should allow him to highlight the achievements of our administration.’’

Obasanjo wrote a damning letter to President Buhari and touted Coalition for Nigeria Movement which has been launched in Abuja.

The movement was launched at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre.

The former president in a lengthy and critical public statement on January 23 suggested the formation of the movement and advised Buhari against seeking a second term in office.

But Buhari was in a special interview session with Voice of America, Hausa service, in Washington, United States on Tuesday morning scantly referred to the letter.

On his purported comment on youth while in London, President Buhari dismissed the report, saying that the media only preferred to interpret and report what they like instead of concentrating on developmental journalism.

“ You know Nigeria’s population is now between 180 and 190 million and 60 per cent of this population is youth that is 30 years down ward.

“You know in the North most youths are uneducated or are school dropouts. If not because we had good harvests in the last two farming seasons the situation would have been worsen.

“Even if these youths travel out of the North for greener pasture they hardly make it economically because what they earn as income cannot afford them to meet their basic needs or return home.

“All these explanations I made they refused to highlight them in their report and you know the media in Nigeria in most cases only do what they like.’’

He said, for instance the nation’s achievements in the agricultural sector where millions of Nigerians benefitted financially was left unreported by the media.

Buhari also used the opportunity to debunk the insinuation that Christians were being killed by herdsmen.

He said that clashes between farmers and herdsmen had been existence for the past years, saying that Nigerian herdsmen were not of the habit of carrying dangerous weapons while moving their animals around the country.

Buhari said he approved the recruitment of 6,000 policemen in addition to the current strength.

The recruitment is part of measures to address the nation’s security challenges including the clashes between farmers and herders.

Buhari, who is in the U.S. on the invitation of the American President Donald Trump.

He revealed that additional security measures were being put in place to check cases of insecurity in Nigeria.

“We will put in place more measures to check insecurity in country including increasing the number of policemen and train them.

“I have approved the recruitment of 6,000 policemen by the police authorities and I directed that those recruited must come from all the 776 local government areas of the federation.

“Even if it means recruiting one person each from the 776 they should do that instead of going to motor parks, railway stations or market for the recruitment exercise.

“I gave (Police authorities) them this directive,’’ he said.

The president, who expressed reservation on the call for the establishment of state police as being advocated by state governors, said Nigerians must abide by constitutional provision in regard to the matter.

So he was actually referring to the youth in the North as being lazy. But he needs to know that no youth will be provided a good job and will refuse to take it up. As the president of the Nation he has no right to call the youth in any region region lazy. Let the government bill up to her expectation and stop making excuses.

On the issue of insecurity, We agree with you that the problem is perennial, but the reason why you were voted is to solve any problem confronting the nation without giving any excuse, employing more Nigerians into the police doesn't automatically translate into solving the problem. We need more proactive measures. The enemies are not faceless, they are your kinsmen.

Obasanjo's letter may be abusive as you claimed sir, but take home lessons abound there in.

The dullard in chief should come to Nairaland and fully understand the meaning of the word "Abusive" grin


Its a pity that the dullard is disillusioned about the current happenings under his administration undecided

Its a pity an intellectually challenged President still went ahead to surround himself with daft aids, associates and professional praise singers. undecided

Its a pity that even when the country is on autopilot caused by his cluelessness which eventually led the nation into recession, the dullard still want to take credit for any accidental gains undecided

Its a very big pity undecided

The lazy dullard of a President

We quite understand that your Fulani brothers have been a perennial menace to other Nigerians, but we also want to point out that your tacit support through your actions and inactions has further emboldened and exacerbated your Fulani murderer brothers.

Every Nigerian will hold you responsible and accountable for every drop of blood in Benue, Taraba, Nasarawa, Delta and other parts of Nigeria where you murderous brothers have unleashed terror under your watch

Jubril is only pained by the scolding of Americans after his visit to Trump(zombies, I still dont understand why Trump hasn't tweeted about the meeting till now?). Besides, OBJ knew he's Jubril not Buhari so he won't ruin his dear Nigeria. Truth is about to be revealed, counting months from now.

Never condemn your accusers. Look into their points and see what you can take from it.

Everyone will not sing your praise but leave your work to speak for you

The dumb speaks again but as usual, to foreign media.

The brain-dead idiot also affirmed his lack of trust in our media. Can somebody ring it into his deaf ears that President Trump speaks directly to the nation in spite of what the likes of CNN & BBC report about him?

The illiterate said he was referring to youths in the north. How could he have used that as a general representation of Nigerian youths? And does the north have oil for him to claim that the reason for youth laziness is because of their belief that they have oil. I thought that could only be applicable to Niger Delta youths.

Of a truth, a dullard will always be a dullard. Let him leave Abuja and go to London or Washington DC, he'll still remain one.

While appreciating our President for clarifying his London statement on the youths, it's amazing that our President loves answering questions on foreign media more than local media and is more at home interviewed in Hausa than in English
Something is wrong somewhere, he is the President of Nigeria
