THE DOCTRINE OF EQUAL SHARE MUST BE ADOPTED BY PRESIDENT BUHARI !

ZION B-BC NEWSLETTER. [ A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church, Kpeyegyi, Abuja Nigeria. ] { VOL. 3. NO 102. 26th july, 2015.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32). THE DOCTRINE OF EQUAL SHARE MUST BE ADOPTED BY PRESIDENT BUHARI!

At Seventy-two and a half years of age, President Muhammadu Buhari is comparatively young compared to contemporary astute world leaders, monarchs, heads of states, and politicians who had distinguished themselves in alertness of mind, comprehension, expression, at local, international and diplomatic assignments, considering his frugal life-style and his avowed socialist ideologies/policies, and should therefore perform creditably in view of the enormous task of rebuilding his country, Nigeria from its ashes! Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe , 91 years; Queen Elizabeth of England 89; Beji Caid Essebsi of Tunisia, 88; Raul Castro of Cuba, 84; Paul Biya of the Cameroons, 82; and Mahmoud Abbas of Palestine, 80, are still bona fide Heads of their various countries and are known to be performing State duties optimally.

Can we safely conclude that the old-age “syndrome” has caught up with President Buhari or that he is suffering from memory loss, relapse or dysfunction in view of embarrassing gaffes during his recent official visit to the United States of America (USA). During his “tete-a-tete” with President Barack Obama and other engagements of high-level talks, press conferences and even the meeting with US Nigerians Diaspora Organisation (NDO), the President had challenges of “accidental slips” which turned out to be diplomatically noticeable and very embarrassing! While discussing with President Obama he referred to his Party as the All Progressive Peoples Congress instead of All Progressives Congress (APC)!His host, a much young man at 53, also “mistakenly,” according to the US Press, referred to Nigeria as bringing peace and stability to the Eastern part of Africa instead of Western Africa!

President Buhari published an Op-ed ( a personal opinion column), which was detrimental and contrary to diplomatic norm and international best practice in the Washington Post which turned out to be a social mistake and an indictment to his own administration, in which he disclosed his plans to defeat terrorism and the Boko Haram insurgency, including his intention to appoint ministers in September, 2015!

The President also disclosed to Nigerians In Diaspora Organisation (NIDO), members in America and Canada at a parley the following information in which:

He accused former Nigerian ministers of selling about one million barrels of crude oil per day and of diverting the gains to personal accounts. He also alleged in the US that “250.000 barrels per day of Nigerian Crude are being stolen and people sell and put the money into individual pockets” adding that the US and other developed countries were assisting Nigeria to trace such accounts. “We will ask that such accounts to be frozen and prosecute the persons. The amount involved is mind-boggling…we will trace and repatriate such money and use the documents to prosecute them.” “As Minister of Petroleum, NNPC (i.e. Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation) had only two traceable accounts of payment to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), now everybody is doing anyhow.” He expressed doubt if fuel subsidy was ever removed; transport, housing and food prices would go out of control and the average worker would suffer untold hardship. Who is subsidizing who? They say “remove subsidy”….they want petrol to cost N500 naira per litre. “If you are working and subsidy is removed, you can’t control transport and market women, the cost of food, the cost of transport.” “I will study if there’s need to remove subsidy with my experience and see what I can do.” He lamented that “corruption in Nigeria has virtually developed into a culture where honest people are abused.”

*The most vexatious and inciting of all the US disclosures was the President’s analytical position on sharing formula of the dividends of democracy. There had been insinuations since APC’s victory at the 2015 polls that President Buhari “might punish States that did not vote for him”? At the an interactive session at the US Institute of Peace (USIP), in answer to what would become of the Niger Delta amnesty programme and the issue of INCLUSIVE GOVERNMENT, the President said as follows: “I hope you have a copy of the election results. Literally, constituencies, for example that gave me 97% cannot in all honesty be treated, on some issues, with constituencies that gave me 5%. I think these are political realities. While Certainly, there will be justice for everybody but well, the parties in constituencies that by sheer hard work got their people to vote and ensured that their votes counted, they must feel that the government has appreciated the effort they put in putting the government in place. I think this is really fair.” *All of the above very sensitive and confidential information that should have been treated exclusively as closed-door high-level briefing for the Nigerian capable and efficient anti-crime, anti-graft/security agencies, bureaucrats and technocrats, were all divulged to the hostile outside world first hand, for reasons that are still baffling to the citizenry which was directly affected through the unsavoury, very unpalatable and shameful exposures!

What were the intentions of Mr. President for exposing such damaging, detestable, despicable and discreditable characteristics of his country bad eggs to the Americans who had despised and virtually abandoned Nigeria for reasons of endemic corruption and very appalling human rights records!

Why did he decide to “wash the dirty linens” of his country before those who snubbed and disrespected her? We are prone to believe that President Buhari’s gaffes at the United States, at the G 7 Meeting in Germany and those that occurred during the heated presidential electioneering campaigns were exhibitions of the frailties, fallibilities and imperfection of the human species which must depend on divine support of knowledge and wisdom to perform creditably, optimally and at full capacity! In spite of all these discreditable and undiplomatic unguarded speeches against his country and citizens, President Buhari who was denied the most desirable arms deal request to defeat Boko Haram now sulked and castigated the United States as saboteurs who had “aided and abetted” the terrorists to continue the spate of deadly bombings and incessant killings by the group to date! According to the Council of Foreign Relation’s Nigeria security tracker, over 2.600 people have been killed by Boko Haram since January 2015! Now what about the “very inciting and castigating statement” on marginalization of and the dichotomy between States which voted massively to ensure Mr. President’s success at the polls and those that did not and the very blunt insinuation that he would cater for and favour some States more than others in the distribution of the dividends of democracy?

Tongues have begun to wag! The South-East and South-South States Nigerians have already read several meanings - including, religious, tribalism, nepotism and unacceptable marginalization from the scheme of governance at the centre and are also warming up to protest if the President carried the resolved agenda! Can we safely pass this position of the first citizen and father of the nation as senile delusion? No! As far as we can decipher all the CODES in all of the speeches, we strongly believe that the President was only going through a teething problem that was bound to occur in-between the first and the subsequent 99days on the hot seat of presidency which requires all of mental and physical capabilities of the incumbent!

President Buhari needs the prayers and counselling of all Nigerian citizens for him to overcome the avalanche of economic, social, corruptive tendencies and insecurity challenges that resulted through bad governance of the past 16 years! He cannot afford to fail God who chose him above other contenders for the exalted position.

The following is a message from the Throne of Grace for President Muhammadu Buhari:

“For this purpose to purge Nigeria my country from all filthiness, adulteration, and corruption of the past and present her, holy and acceptable to me, have I chosen you. You are not too old for the assignment, otherwise, I would have rejected you. You are also neither slow nor sluggish, you are on the right track for I am Your Guiding Light. Do not listen to the detractors or the opposition which are bereft of ideas, but remain focussed and also follow my directives and definitely you will surprise the world as you turn the fortune of Nigeria around in the next FOUR years to be rated among the first 20-20-20 economically viable nations of the 21st Century.

“When I called Abraham at 75 years of age, he performed creditably and became the father of faith and my friend. “I called Moses at 80 to take a stubborn and stiff-necked nation to the Promised Land and he fulfilled his assignment, overcame all challenges and obtained the crown of glory. “I instructed Noah at the age of 280 to construct the ARK which saved your present generation on DRY LAND, he obeyed and when I released rains over the wicked world of that period, he and the chosen vessels were saved and he recorded a total of 950 years on earth before I recalled him! “Keep my inspirational WORD which says, ‘All things work together for good for those who love God and who are the called according to His purpose;’ to heart and you will also succeed as your predecessors” “I THE LORD HAVE SPOKEN!” Amen.

The doctrine of Equal Share according to the biblical King David in: I Samuel. 30:21-31, must be judiciously employed by the President to pacify all stakeholders of the Nigerian contract! Or was the following US speech an “afterthought”?

“By the Constitution, no State can be excluded from government, so there is no way even if I want to show gratitude to those constituencies that voted for me and those that did’nt even vote for me, they have the protection of government. “And I have made an undertaking that, ‘I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody’. If I come clear and show and marginalize a certain group because they did’nt vote for me, then I have already contradicted myself. And I am sure people will be quick to pick that.”

Mr. President could not have said it better and we do hope that those who are already picking holes in the “lopsided appointments” which has favoured the “Muslim North” will bury the hatchet and patiently wait for other appointments that would favour them too. President Buhari will be divinely guided!

If you have not accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour, don’t miss this great opportunity as you pray this prayer:

Lord Jesus; I confess that I am a sinner who needs to be saved through the grace of the New Testament of your Blood, shed on the Cross at Calvary; I renounce every sin in my life and accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Please forgive me and write my name in the Book of Life. Amen.

If you prayed this prayer, you have been admitted into the family of sons and daughters of God, who are born-again. Congratulations.

Please look forward to more divine revelation in the next edition of Zion B-BC Newsletter as you share this with friends and remain blessed in the Lord.
