Kola Ologbondiyan: Buhari's Speech Was Depressing And Failed Empathy Test by Officialhorlah(m): 6:27am On Oct 23, 2020
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described President Muhammadu Buhari’s address to the nation on Thursday evening, as disappointing and completely disconnected from the realities of the tragic occurrences in our country in the last two weeks.

This was contained in a statement signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan.

PDP, however, appealed to Nigerians to remain calm and allow a return to normal life.

“Our party and, indeed, all lovers of peace in our country, were shocked that Mr. President glossed over the immediate trigger of violent protests – the widely condemned killing at the Lekki Toll Gate by security operatives. A situation which created a global concern and drew the attention of the world to the abuse of human rights going on in our country under his watch,” it read in part.

opposition party also criticized Buhari for his silence on the demand for investigation into the Military’s involvement in the shootings.

It added that “Nigerians had expected that Mr. President will provide the lead for the much-needed overhauling of our security architecture to meet the demands of professionalism and respect for rules of engagement.”

A very heartless and brutal dictator who has no clue on how to run an economy. Just blood and power thirsty.

He ordered them, no doubt.

A big shame to all those who voted for him. You people deserve to be off the surface of this earth for putting such a callous man in power knowing his antecedents.

Speech or reader?


If Buhari was Pharoah in Joseph’s time, Egypt would have still gone on recession.



If he was Trump, the whole world would have been mourning anyone who opposes him.


If he were God, just kuku bury yourself.

Very sad that we have allow ourselves to be pushed this backward.

Below is what Jonathan and others said less than 6 years ago. Can those that disagreed with me and tongue lashed me read this again to refresh their memories.

Goodluck Jonathan on Friday during a rally in Enugu said that the All Progressives Congress candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd), cannot remember his own mobile phone number.

Jonathan, whose unscripted address was mostly a response to previous statements made by Buhari, accused the APC presidential candidate of deceiving Nigerians by promising to revive the economy without explaining how he would achieve the feat.

The President wondered how Buhari would develop the country’s economy, a feat he could not achieve while he was in office as head of state between 1983 and 1985.

“Is it now that Buhari cannot even remember his own phone number that he can change the economy of the country.” Jonathan asked.

The Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate said that although he did not like to “go personal during campaigns,” “sometimes circumstances demand that certain things must be said.”

Jonathan said that Buhari belonged to the medieval age, adding that he (the APC candidate) intended to run the Federal Government as a medieval king.

He said, “We cannot run the government as if we are in the medieval age; we cannot run a government where somebody said he would throw people into jail.

“You are not a medieval king – a medieval king can throw you into jail but we have to follow the rule of law because we cannot go back to the old days.”

Jonathan, however, read the speech made by Gen. Ibrahim Babangida (rtd.) after overthrowing Buhari’s regime through a military coup on August 27, 1985 to justify his claim that the APC candidate does not keep his promises.

Babangida, in the portions of the address read by Jonathan, justified Buhari’s overthrow by pointing out that the latter did not live up to the promises he made to Nigerians when he ousted a democratically elected civilian government headed by Alhaji Shehu Shagari in a military coup.

Noting that Buhari “deceived Nigerians” from 1983 to 1985, Jonathan quoted Babangida as saying, “The initial objectives of Buhari’s intervention were betrayed as there was a general deterioration of standard of living in the country.”

The PDP candidate also pointed out that Babangida accused Buhari of being “too rigid in his attitude to national issues” and “became alienated from the people” in the course of his stay in power.

He, therefore, challenged Buhari to tell Nigerians how he intends to revive the economy.

Jonathan said, “They are telling young Nigerians that they are going to change the economy but they have not told us how they want to manage the economy more than us.

“If they say they want to change agriculture, they should tell us the weak links in the agriculture value chain and what they want to do about it.

“I said in Lagos that I want to work with young people, not to deceive people.

“I am not going to run the government based on my habits, I am going to run the government according to global best practices.”

Jonathan also insisted that he was committed to the campaign against corruption.

“There is no government that has fought corruption more than we do,” he said, noting that some previous administrations pretended to be fighting corruption while oppressing their enemies.

He recalled that Buhari jailed some prominent Igbo politicians while in office as head of state, including former Vice-President Alex Ekwueme and former governor of old Anambra State, Chief Jim Nwobodo.

Stressing that Buhari jailed politicians on trumped up charges, Jonathan said, “You can no longer carry people and put them in prison for 301 years.”

The President equally accused Buhari of having a wrong idea of corruption.

According to him, Buhari believes that every wealthy Nigerian is corrupt.

He said, “If a Nigerian businessman has a private jet, then you are corrupt but if a South African has a private jet then you commend him.

“If you have a good house, then you are corrupt, if you have a good car then you are corrupt – that is his definition of corruption.”

Jonathan accused his opponent of making spurious claims against him.

The President said, “They are saying that government is corrupt but they are not telling us what they are going to do to stop corruption. Let them go back to their consultants to coach them, then I will listen to them.

“They should tell us how they are going to manage the economy better than we do.

“They are saying we stole foreign reserves, nobody can steal foreign reserves – spurious allegations.”

He also reiterated his claim that Buhari did not equip the military while he was the head of state.

Jonathan said that he had done more than his predecessors to shore up the country’s defence.

“For 30 years, we had only one frigate, now we have four additional frigates,” he said.

In the same vein, he pointed out that Buhari did not find any woman worthy enough for appointment when he was the military head of state.

The President asked Nigerians to assess him and Buhari by looking at how they performed during their respective periods in office.

He said, “They have deceived us before and they want to deceive us again.

“Go and find out whether these people are deceiving you or are telling you the truth.

“People are assessing me because I have run this country for some years – they have run this country for two years.

“They came with promises but immediately they came in, what they did was to jail Jim Nwobodo for 201 years

I no longer have any doubt about what Kanu has been saying.
That thing that addressed us that they have been parading as Buhari is either a human like doll who is programmed to talk and act like a human being or the Sudanese Jubril who shows less concern and sympathy about what is happening in Nigeria because this is not his Country.
He is only a character who acts and gesticulates according to the blockings giving to him by the directors in aso rock.

That can't be Buhari

Campaigning for Buhari was one of my greatest undoings.

PDP wouldn't have done any better, they were there for 16yrs, yet they ended up destroying the system.
Today we are reaping the dividend of what they set up for 16yrs, In a country where u have to be connected to get 30k job but do not need connection when they need ur votes.
PDP are the last people who I want to see criticizing Buhari.
the youths better make use of this new found love in 2023 and reform the system, both APC and PDP are evil.
All they know is criticize each other cos either they want power or remain in power. All we want is equity, if we cant get that, at least let us have equality. until we have this, i cant listen to these mannequins we have as leaders

My remark to those who have been paid to do damage control in order to deny the killings done by the government.

It shall never be well with your generation. Many of you are doing this because you had no family members that were killed during the Lekki peaceful protest.

This current situation in Nigeria had taught me never to believe or trust anyone especially the media, politicians, religious leaders and others.

Nairaland that I use to have much prestige for has been compromised and perhaps paid to cover the ills of our terrible government.


All I know is that the APC government must go. Inclusive of all old and corrupt politicians.

Sanwo Olu would loose if he runs for second term. Definitely.
