As commissioner (minister) of petroleum, 2.8 million dollars (billions in today’s currency) went missing under his watch. Till date they say he was not the thief. Others stole it. Okay oh!
A duly, just elected Shehu Shagari and democracy was toppled. They said Buhari knew nothing of the coup, and that Babangida orchestrated it all. That Buhari was only called to head it. Hmmmmm. Babangida no like sugar abi? Okay na!!!
Then 3 boys were killed for drug pushing, even when it was not a capital offence to push drugs. They said it was Tunde Idiagbon, his deputy, that insisted on this Sharia punishment. Hmmmmm. Issorai!!!
Again, Atiku as then customs head attempted to confiscate suitcases of naira being brought into Nigeria when the Supreme Military Council changed the naira. The talk was that Buhari ordered Atiku to release the money of a fellow Fulani that was bringing it in. Buhari’s supporters say it was not Buhari that made the call. And I was thinking the head was responsible, especially as no one was fired. Okay oh!!!
Then, while Christians went to Kirikiri, Fulani Muslims, especially the head of the “corrupt democratic government”, was flexing at home. They say it was not Buhari, but the courts. What court? I hear them!!!
Also when you point out that decree 4 says that even when the press says the truth, the journalist will go to jail. And also that Momoh of Chanels and another, actually went to jail over this evil law, people say “it was because he was a military head of state”. You then say “ehhh emm… Gowon did not have it. Muritala did not have such a law. Babangida removed it. Even Abacha, with all the talk of his evil, did not think it is humanly thinkable that a journalist goes to jail for writing the truth. His supporters go quiet or scream “sai Buhari, propaganda against you will not work.” And it is the truth that is being said. Leaving these shores, only Idi Amin and Jean-Bedel Bokassa had such laws, proving he would have been as evil as they were, had he been allowed to lead on. His supporters will say “SAI BUHARI, it is not Buhari that did it. It was the SMC.” . Meanwhile, when he was removed, the same SMC under Babangida removed the terrible terrible oppressive law.
Then you point out to them that of the PTF projects, 80 percent were executed in the North, the supporters say “southern contractors are thieves. Buhari gave out the contracts and Northerners executed theirs.” When you now say “em…it is his job to begin to prosecute any erring contractor, as in, at least report them to the police and cancel the contracts,” the supporters will say “SAI BUHARI, propaganda against you will not work.”
Then when you show them the report that shows PTF as the most corrupt agency in the history of Nigeria, as evidenced by the colossal amounts missing, a report that made Obasanjo close up the PTF forever, his supporters say “BUHARI IS NOT THE THIEF.” You then point out that when NNPC is said to steal, Deziani and Goodluck Jonathan as well as Ngozi Okonjo-Iwealla are called thieves. Why is Buhari’s case always different? WHY IS HE SO PROTECTED? You head a ministry/agency, billions go missing and you are not responsible? SAI BUHARI!!!
Then the one that chills the spirit is this facebook post by a youth corper in the North before he was killed in the post-election violence of 2011, following Buhari’s humiliating landslide loss.
‘Sunday, April 17, (a day after the election,) at 6:48am, via mobile web. (He wrote unedited):
“Na wao! This CPC supporters would hv (have) killed me yesterday, no see threat oooo. Even after forcing underaged voters on me they wanted me to give them the remaining ballot paper to thumb print. Thank God for the police and am happy i could stand for God and my nation. To all corps members
who stood despite these threats esp. In the north bravo! Nigeria! Our change has come.”
This patriot, this hero was killed along with hundreds of others and what does Buhari and CPC do? They bail those accused of the slaughter. I repeat this “BUHARI’S PARTY, THE CPC, (now APC) BAILED 622 PEOPLE ACCUSED OF KILLING SUPPORTERS OF GOODLUCK JONATHAN OR SIMPLY CHRISTIANS. Point this out to Buhari’s supporters and they say “Buhari is not CPC’ hmmmmm WOW!!!! I thought the would-be president is a leader in his party?
Now note that even if out of sympathy Buhari had called the parents of any of the slain, or just made pronouncements commiserating with them, one would have said “well, he may not have been able to control his supporters. However, instead of commiserating with the dead, he say, “there will be bloodshed, bloods of dogs and baboons will flow if….”. When you point out that ‘if PDP rigs the election, it will be GEJ. Anenih, Jega and people with adequate bodyguards and soldiers protecting them, as well as thugs who can take care of themselves that will do the rigging. So whose blood will flow? Who is the dog and who is the baboon? Is it any given Christian? Any given moderate Muslim? Any PDP supporter? Any Ibo man or Yoruba man that cannot recite the Quran? Any Niger Deltan? WHOSE BLOOD WILL FLOW?
I will take the above again so as to emphasize the point. “Considering that those who rig elections are usually well protected even by soldiers, WHOSE BLOOD WILL FLOW? IS IT ANY GIVEN PERSON UNABLE TO RECITE THE QURAN?”
In conclusion, I ask a Buhari supporter who reads this to answer the questions especially the last on the bloodshed and to tell us what we can say Buhari did and what he did not do. This is because it is becoming very confusing. How will a man never be held responsible as head of different erring, thieving ministries/agencies?
SAI BUHARI, WHEN WILL YOU TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTION OR ACTION OF YOUR SUBORDINATES AND SUPPORTERS
