WAKE UP: Why is 2019 presidential election do-or-die for this man?
By BASHIR ADEFAKA
“Does this mean that Atiku and his PDP collaborators actually organized the killings in the North East and North West states of Nigeria deliberately to reduce the population of the people therein for political reason? It is therefore the reason President Muhammadu Buhari must order the security and anti-graft institutions in the country to rise up to the challenges and fish out whoever is involved in the killings (past and present) in those parts of the country and make the reports of their investigations open to the world and go ahead to prosecute them without wait. For this reason, Atiku is so disgusting!”
The US, UK, EU and Commonwealth that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s presidential candidate in the just concluded election and his party relied upon in their Dubai strategy meeting resolutions to help them back to power, have refused to partake in their electoral robbery as they authenticate the results of the presidential election.
Despite this, Atiku continues to make unguarded utterances over results of Kano, Sokoto, Yobe, Katsina where people, who know him as Fulani man working with Amnesty International to tag them killers of other Nigerians because of his desperation to get to office as president, resolved within themselves and massively voted against him. Despite know that his people do not love him and they have therefore used their votes which always count massively to reject him, Atiku is threatening all the hell around saying President Muhammadu Buhari worked with Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in rigging him out of the election. What proof does Atiku has, in the wake of all evidences of dollarised elections that the government of the federation has against him? Why is this 2019 election do-or-die for this man?
Atiku should be ashamed of himself. He should be so ashamed and ask himself why is it that only people who do not believe in the unity of Nigeria that loved and voted for him. I give this to IBB. If he had not been loved by his own people of Niger State community, his post-government life, after he stepped aside in 1987, would have been more of disastrous and miserable. Whoever knows Turaki (because it appears he will be stripped of his title of Wazirin Adamawa) should ask him to stay well because one will not hesitate in reporting him and his foot soldiers to the security forces who will pick them up and forward them to court for prosecution.
Haba! In the whole of this election, it is your name all along that was mentioned doing vote-buying, money laundering in hard currency to bribe voters and major factors in the conduct of the presidential election for no other reason but to compromise the election process to earn you a mandate you do not deserve. It should by now be clear to you, Mr. Atiku, that money does not do it but Allah. If you want to be president, you should have relied on Allah instead of relying on fake prophecies of those supposed men of God who lie to you that you will be President of Nigeria and on the fetish belief that ‘whoever Obasanjo supports wins’. You also have a self-deceiving attitude of thinking that whatever money cannot achieve does not exist. Just so funny! But is that the reason for all of these do-or-die and killings and violence that we witnessed at the last presidential elections just because you are so desperate? Where is the Muslimness in you, Sir?
While I would not like to sound negatively tribalistic, you were not even as much loved in the South East which you unsuspectingly enjoy as your political stronghold. You should have asked yourself, “The reason these Igbo guys singing my praises hate President Muhammadu Buhari so much is because he is a Fulani man. I am equally Fulan. The reason Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), who still went underground to work for me in this just concluded election, hate Buhari so much is because he is a Muslim and Fulani combined. I am equally a Muslim. What did these ethnic jingoists and religious bigots therefore see in me that made me different from Buhari that they make them love me and hate my fellow Muslim, Fulani brother?” This question is very germane. Ask yourself.
The truth is, a large section of Igbo are people filled with hate in their bloodstream. They do not believe there is crime anywhere so long it can fetch them money. Therefore to them, they endorse you despite your personality laden with corruption allegations home and and abroad (Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s book, MY WATCH refers).
Buhari is surely a problem for them because he will never allow them freedom to shortchange the country with contraband they call imported goods. He has blocked them from ordering substandard products from China. He will never allow free money to flow from nation’s treasury into any person’s, private pocket. To rubbish the Buhari’s government they set up IPOB but he showed them that he is not Goodluck Ebele Jonathan but simply Muhammadu Buhari; that he is not husband of Dame Patience an Okirika daughter but simply the husband of Hajia Aisha their daughter in Adamawa.
That is the reason they hate Buhari so much. One of few things that have happened in Igbo Land to Buhari is Owelle Rochas Okorocha, governor of Imo State and see how his people are treating him in the South East despite that he is the best performing governor so far in that part of the country. The other person is Orji Uzor Kalu, who moved back from the hitherto few Owners of Nigeria right from the time he was governor of Abia State and had opportunity to be part of the deceivers but he opted out. See what they are saying about him.
Then come the CAN. Till today that religious group would not stop to see Buhari as a Fulani President arming his Fulani people to kill the people of Benue State. As from CAN, the battle against Buhari is combined bombardment: ethnicity and religion. It is the reason where Afenifere, Ndigbo, Middle-Belt groups are plotting, they unknowingly slip out religious intonation because they make unguarded utterances thinking they hate Buhari.
How is it the business of ethnic nationalities to cry of Islamisation if not hypocrisy at its peak? Does it mean they do not have a Muslim among them who can testify to the fact that he does not see anything Islamic in the governing policies of President Buhari? To justify my point, ask Afenifere to show you one Muslim among them; you will not see. Ask Igbo, no Muslim. Does it mean there are no Muslims in Yoruba Land and Igbo Land? No. They simply refused to involve Muslims in those ethnic nationality movements because their agenda would not be palatable to Muslims if involved as members. But these are the people who have be loud in cry against religious intolerance in this country.
You then ask them, “Of Hausa/Fulani, Yoruba and Igbo ethnic nationalities, which one has the love of Nigeria and its people the more?” And the answer is not far-fetched: Hausa/Fulani ethnic nationality is verifiably the best and this can be justified by the composition of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) where all religions are not only involved but also respected. A Christian was until recently the Chairman of ACF.
This is to show that Afenifere is nothing but a branch of Christian Association of Nigeria. The disgusting thing there is that they do not admit publicly that they are but the whole atrocities they cover are watched live in the public space? That is why Yoruba Land, and CAN, despite that they have their own as Vice President could not give Buhari/Osinbajo votes of wider margin in the South West that is the leading region of tribal conscious people and base of Christianity in Nigeria.
It is the same reason that, when Allah wanted to expose them, they now went out of long time of the conflicts they brewed for Nigeria and formed the Northern Elders’ Forum (NEF) which involved another subgroup they call Association of Retired Christian Generals with retired generals of dubious characters like Danjuma, Zamani Lekwot as members.
Atiku should ask himself questions here, “Am I a true Fulani man to allow these people mislead me against my own Fulani people? Do my Fulani not have right to life as CAN and NEF sold to the media that no one was killed in Mambilla Plateau of Taraba despite the over 1,000 Fulani men, innocent kids and women that were killed? How true can it be that my fellow Fulani man, Buhari, could truly arm my fellow herders with AK 47 weapons to kill Nigerian farmers (yet food availability from farmers now on the increase under him) as claimed by CAN, Afenifere, Middle-Belt and Ndigbo? How true is it that the Herders, Farmers clashes started only under the three and a half years administration of Buhari as Amnesty International, whose reports I work on against him, made us to realise? Have I not been finished now? What should I do?”
These questions are required of Atiku. But unfortunately, instead of him to be Muslim enough by accepting his electoral loss as the act of Almighty Allah, he continues to boast that the election process is purely a sham and called a world press conference during which he therefore rejected the over N143 billion worth election project. This is the same election process that Atiku’s foreign friends (United States, United Kingdom and European Union and the Commonwealth) he claimed had loved him and dumped Buhari had repeatedly declared and rated free, fair and credible.
If, for instance, his position is taken and a fresh poll ordered, how much would Atiku give back to Nigeria of the money to reorganize another election? That is the same man who has a company that has a business monopoly at the nation’s Ports and yet has been alleged of tax evasion on several occasions. But do Atiku and PDP really remember before going into participating in this election at all that Nigerians only four years ago sent them out of power on the ground they corruptly mismanaged the nation’s resources? It must be shameless of them to think that, because of vulnerability of most Nigerians, they could bamboozle themselves back to power this time and continue their corruption and hopelessness destroying the nation’s infrastructural sector now being fixed. Not all Nigerians are cynics.
It will be recalled this same Atiku, who had secured the assurances of those foreign nations to help him compromise the 2019 election outcome in his own favour based on the information he gave them that President Buhari is a tyrant and that his government does not respect the rule of law (although those foreign nations themselves only saw Atiku as an opportunity because nothing stopped them from getting the other side of the information from the government and people of Nigeria). Under six months of Buhari in office in 2015, United States of America President Barrack Obama used his name to preach to others in the world on integrity and later, the new President Donald Trump, personally invited Buhari to Washington and eulogized the Fulani President of Nigeria to the high heavens calling him the “Best President of high integrity in Africa” meaning that he is the best black President of the world. That was after Trump had called Nigeria a ‘shithole’ country and the UK Prime Minister before Theresa May, Gordon Brown, described Nigeria as ‘fantastically corrupt’.
But alas! These nations listened to Atiku’s falsehood about suspension of Nigeria’s self-confessed corrupt Chief Justice of Nigeria Walter Onnoghen, immediately connived in a ‘coordinated statement’ and started making unguarded utterances capable of causing disaffection in the land of Nigeria. Incidentally, US has Atiku on his corrupt personalities’ list and would want to arrest him at any time. He was therefore placed under visa ban from entering America. The same man and his PDP colleagues wrote several letters to the UN, the US, the UK and Commonwealth, it behooves the US to get others in the international community into awareness about Atiku’s corruption status in its own society and denounce the complaints of the desperate politicians shedding crocodile tears before them from Nigeria.
But Atiku was smuggled into America by an embattled Nigerian Senate President Bukola Saraki, after President Trump’s associate, Brian Ballard, was contracted at $1.1 million to lobby him into the US government and he slept in one of Trump’s hotels and the next thing, after allegedly securing Atiku’s assurances that, if elected, he will open up Nigeria’s crude oil deposit to him and his foreign individuals and also sell the NNPC to them, President Trump started speaking in tongue trying to discredit the Buhari’s government.
It got worse with the legal action taken against Onnoghen being used by Atiku and his party to truncate the will of the people in the post-2019 elections and doing so at over $1.3 million discovered afresh apart from his non-declaration of assets to Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) as mandatorily required by the law. Atiku took the lead in the fight against the Nigerian Government over the suspension of such man who demystified the sanctity of the Judiciary with his unprecedented corruption and pure absence of moral quality as chief judiciary officer of the country. It was the peak of evil in any society capable of causing collateral damages to any such country. But US, UK and EU believed Atiku until they changed mouths as they discovered that President Muhammadu Buhari is not a pushover as President of a Sovereign Nation in the world.
These same Atiku/PDP’s foreign collaborators have certified Nigeria’s 2019 presidential elections as free, fair and credible and that it is even far better than the election of 2015 but Atiku is still spitting fire threaten to hell over Nigeria. He believes that results released from Yobe, Sokoto, Kano, Jigawa and Katsina states could not have been possible considering the deaths recorded from activities of Boko Haram and bandits. This is unfortunately. It was the same thing PDP claimed in 2015 election which was conducted by them in power. They even believed APC that was being persecuted in opposition by their government rigged them out of power. Atiku has repeated it again against the 2019 election.
Does this mean that Atiku and his PDP collaborators actually organized the killings in the North East and North West states of Nigeria deliberately to reduce the population of the people therein for political reason? It is therefore the reason President Muhammadu Buhari must order the security and anti-graft institutions in the country to rise up to the challenges and fish out whoever is involved in the killings (past and present) in those parts of the country and make the reports of their investigations open to the world and go ahead to prosecute them without wait. For this reason, Atiku is so disgusting!
