Buhari For President? Hell NO, Why? - Must read

Written By: Salem Ezeorah Compiled By: Ibrahim Lanre Bandwagon is actually the best way to describe the "love" some people have for Buhari. A lot of people join others in proclaiming how upright the man is, but when you engage them in discussions to actually give you points on why they think highly of him, they struggle to give points.

The question I often ask is, based on what premises do these people come to that conclusion?Anyone who is willing to teach me this should do so. I'm willing to learn.

But before you play the Semantic Hero, be very careful with me, I may not have been to Harvard, but I can hold my own anywhere and anytime.To me, Buhari, is a pretentious anti-corruption fighter.

Buhari in my view is too old to be contesting for president. Hey! Before you remind me that Nelson Mandela became South African president at 70, all I’m saying is that, if we know what is good for us, Buhari should first of all inform us of his health status. A 72-year old man who will be 73 in 2015 should reveal to us his health status. At 70, most people actually live on drugs and food supplements.

Buhari is a coup plotter. He plotted a coup that ousted a democratically elected president. No civilised democratic society would elect the likes of Buhari as President, the same individual who overthrew an elected President.

Before you give me that excuse of his plotting a coup due to corruption, remember that ALL coup plotters alleges their main reason is because politicians are corrupt and there has been break down of law & order. For Buhari to be president is like asking a pirate who hijacked your ship & sank it, to become a captain to lead a rescue mission for the ship.Buhari is an ethnic bigot, as part of his tribalistic practices, he placed President Shagari under house arrest inside a palatial mansion in Ikoyi but he locked up Shagari's vice, Alex Ekwueme in Kirikiri. Shagari is an Hausa/Fulani like him while Alex Ekwueme is an Igboman. This action of jailing Ekwueme is ethnically fired!Buhari jailed Fela Anikulapo -Kuti on trumped up charges under emergency law which prompted the sentencing judge to confess that he was ordered to do so and apologized to Fela. It was Buhari's administration that said it has "decided to deal with this Fela problem once and for all."Buhari locked up politicians without trial, and his critics not just Fela who was notorious for clamouring for the exposure of the oil money rogue. Mrs. Vera Ifudu, who was an NTA reporter then, was sacked through his prodding as military ruler, for reporting what Dr. Olusola Saraki had told her in an interview about how the missing money was traced to Buhari’s account at Midland Bank London branch. Vera eventually won her case of wrongful dismissal in court against the NTA and was financially compensated. Dim Emeka Odimegwu Ojukwu, who returned from 13 years exile, just a little over a year then was as well locked up in Kirikiri Prison by Buhari. Up till today we were not told what his offence was.Buhari ransacked the house of Chief Obafemi Awolowo and confisticated his International passport. We were not told what Awolowo did till date.He convinced all the northern political leaders against allowing the National Identity Card program because this would unravel d myth of Northern population majority.Buhariis an oligarch who does not believe in equality before the law. He jailed Chief Lateef Jakande, Mr. Jim Nwobodo, Ambrose Ali, Adekunle Ajasin, Ayo Ojewumi on cases that have no basis. Ayo Ojewumi became blind as a result of his imprisonment over false charges and died shortly after. Prof. Ambrose Alli also became blind as a result of this false imprisonment. Adekule Ajasin was never the same after his eventual release and remained sickly for the rest of his life. Continue Reading...
