THE EKWEREMADUS NEEDED NOT HAVE FLOWN FAR AWAY!

THE EKWEREMADUS NEEDED NOT HAVE FLOWN FAR AWAY!

Whatever prompted the Ekweremadus to fly to far-away London UK, for their daughter’s kidney trans-plant operation which services and expertise are available in modern Nigerian hospitals commissioned specially  for the sole purpose of reversing medical tourism and saving the nation’s scarce foreign exchange reserves!

Nigeria recorded the first-ever successful paediatric kidney transplant on two patients at the St. Nicholas Hospital, Lagos in August 2009, some thirteen (13) years ago! There are not less than five specialist hospitals in the commercial city of Nigeria that cater for renal complications.

Two successful kidney transplants were recorded in January 2014, at  the Delta State University Teaching Hospital [DELSUTH], Oghara, while doctors at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital [LASUTH], in November 2015, also celebrated first successful kidney transplant ever carried out in a tertiary hospital on a 56-year- old male patient. The second successful transplant by the same hospital was carried out in August of 2016, on a 38-year-old male patient.

Also in October 2021, Afe Babalola University Multi-System Hospital Ado-Ekiti, [ABUAD], South-West Nigeria, recorded its first Kidney transplant after a procedure which lasted five hours and fifteen minutes on an hypertensive and prostate-afflicted 46-year-old. 

Home-grown, world-class, professional and specialist doctors equipped with modern healthcare facilities for kidney transplant, occupy pride of place in medical and kidney specialized centres that deliver first-class quality and excellent health care services in renal medicine and other specialities like urology, cardiology, paediatrics, gastroenterology, general surgery, gynaecological surgery etc, with state-of-the-art technological advanced equipments and procedures abound in all of Nigeria’s Six Geo-Political Zones! Senator Ike Ekweremadu, the learned lawmaker decided to abandon all of the above available Nigerian facilities and opted for the UK for reasons he might explain some day!

LONDON METROPOLITAN POLICE ARREST IKE EKWEREMADU AND WIFE ON THURSDAY 30TH JUNE 2022, AND CHARGED WITH ALLEGED TRAFFICKING OF A YOUNG NIGERIAN TO HARVEST HIS KIDNEY!

Ike Ekweremadu is the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator representing Enugu West Senatorial District, a lawyer and a former Deputy Senate President for three consecutive [6th, 7th and 8th ], Senate.

On the 23rd June 2022, he was charged along with his wife, Beatrice, in the UK Magistrate’s Court with conspiring to arrange the travel of a 21-year-old into the UK in order to harvest organs.

Ike, very exposed and civilised was called to the Nigerian Bar in 1987 and had participated in politics until he won the prestigious title of best Local Government Chairman on the platform of the United Nigeria Congress Party (UNCP) in 1997 and had since remained in politics till he was elected into the Senate in 2003.

It was said that the legislator’s daughter needed a kidney transplant which necessitated the London trip. But it turned out at the hospital that the contracted young man’s organ was incompatible with the young woman’s and he was promptly requested to return to Nigeria.

The young man instead ran to the London Metropolitan Police and lied that he was a minor who was trafficked for organ harvesting by the couple and a Nigerian medical doctor practising in the UK who were promptly arrested and charged with violation of the Modern Slavery, 2015.

Ike Ekweremadu and the doctor will remain in custody until 31st October, 2022 when trial will continue but his wife was granted bail on stringent conditions.

THE UK IS A PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY WHERE ALL CITIZENS FROM PRIME MINISTER, PARLIAMENTARIANS AND SETTLERS ARE TREATED EQUALLY ACCORDING TO THE LAW!

From the moment of arrest Mr, Ekweremadu and wife were treated as suspects in spite of their travel documents which included a Diplomatic Passport but judicial process was meticulously followed to ensure that the trial was conducted in the UK and not transferred to Nigeria without consideration to any form of immunity!

Apart from being a Nigerian lawmaker, Ekweremadu is also a seasoned and professional lawyer who is vast in the Law of Contract which has not been mentioned so far since the trial began!

*Was there a legal contract between the chosen donor and the Ekweremadus or between any member of his family in respect of the transplant?

*Were there agreements that spelt out all areas of the contract beginning with the journey to London i.e. responsibility for travel tickets, accommodation, feeding, monetary allowances for duration of stay in the city.

*What form of medical tourism was envisaged and what financial package did the Ekweremadus propose for the kidney to be harvested and how was such money to be paid had the medical operation succeeded or failed?

*Was any member of the organ donor family involved at any time in Nigeria before his departure to London? Was there any contractual agreement between the two parties?

COMPARATIVE COST OF KIDNEY TRANSPLANT IN NIGERIA, INDIA AND THE UNITED KINGDOM [UK]. 

  

 Kidney transplant in Nigeria costs between NGN4.7 –NGN7million naira; In India – between Rs.5 to Rs.6 Lakh in private hospitals (at $1,500 dollars per Lakh -$7,500 -$9,000 US dollars). What about Britain? According to a Health Publication of Thursday, 4th December, 2003, credited to Esther Addley, “One kidney costs $100,000. The donor gets $2,000” – through illegal website advertisements for sales of human body parts!

The publication also stated that although it was illegal in Britain to buy, sell, advertise, or seek to procure any of the human organs or tissue that can usefully be sliced off one person and sewn onto another – hearts, lungs, kidneys, livers, pancreas, small bowel, corneas, bone marrow, skin, heart valves, or tendons, the racketeering was a booming trade because: “THE WEALTHY UNWELL WERE PROVING THEMSELVES UNWILLING TO HANG ABOUT – ON THE QUEUE BUT RATHER IGNORE THE LAW FOR A VITAL ORGAN”!  

Statistics of successful Kidney Transplant in Nigeria: The Nigerian Nephrology Association [NNA], on the occasion of the March 2020 World Kidney Day Celebration, disclosed that 700 Kidney transplants had been successfully performed in the country!

Kidney failures are usually caused through “high blood pressure and diabetes” which are the most common. Other causes include physical injury, diseases or other health disorders.

IN TURKEY, PATIENTS ARE FITTED WITH HARVESTED MOLDOVAN, ROMANIAN OR ESTONIAN KIDNEY!

Was it true that the Ekweremadus were arrested at the Heathrow Airport on their journey to Turkey to negotiate for new donor?

How true is it that the “wealthy unwell will always be impatient to queue, but will damn any consequence and ignore the law for a vital organ”! The 31st October, 2022, adjourned date is a few months away for the unfolding drama to be concluded!

“Let God be true, but every man be a liar, as it is written, That thou mightiest be justified in Thy sayings and mightiest overcome when thou art judged!. [Romans. 3:4.].

PRESIDENT BUHARI WILL NEITHER BE IMPEACHED NOR DIE IN OFFICE ACCORDING TO PROPHECY!

ZION B-BC   NEWSLETTER.   

(Looking at Nigeria and the World's Political System From a Godly Perspective).

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 11.NO 468.  31st July, 2022.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

PRESIDENT BUHARI WILL NEITHER BE IMPEACHED NOR DIE IN OFFICE ACCORDING TO PROPHECY!

National Assembly Legislators spearheaded by the Minority Caucus have regretted that they failed to impeach Major General Buhari in the year 2020 when his ineptitude and cluelessness in governance manifested so glaringly through his failure to defeat neither corruption nor insecurity in the polity!

And now that he has only 10 months to departure lounge members of both Chambers are now scampering for signatures to begin a process of impeachment after SIX Weeks of grace terminating on 10th September, 2022, and declare him as unfit to continue as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The Legislators began their annual recess which will terminate on 20th September 2022 on Thursday 28 July 2022.

This latest threat to the All Progressives Congress(APC), seven-year administration through an impeachment notice over his failure to tackle/arrest the nation’s escalating insecurity situation which has gradually enveloped Abuja, the seat of power!

HOWEVER THE PRESIDENT CANNOT BE IMPEACHED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:

1) Buhari’s two-term Presidency is a product of divine prophecy from the Servant of the Most High God in Zion in 2014, that in spite of all odds, he would serve for EIGHT YEARS AND WILL NOT DIE IN OFFICE. 

2) His three failed attempts in 2003, 2007, and 2011, were not unnoticed by God who benevolently granted the opportunity which seemed impossibility to Man but with the caveat that he would work under divine guidance.

3) Although Buhari had not performed optimally in office according to expectations of the citizens, his handlers had capitalised on propaganda to continue to hold onto power from 2015 to date until the nefarious activities of impatient bandits further exposed his government's inadequacies.

4) But his punishment is not in the hand of TERRORISTS, BANDITS OR CITIZENS but in the hand of God whom he also bluntly disrespected by failing to execute divine assignments.

BUHARI’S FAILURES THROUGH DISOBEDIENCE!

In the month of May 2021 the LORD COMMANDED Muhammadu Buhari through the Zion BBC Newsletter twice in editions (404th and 406th of 9th and 23rd respectively), to declare a NATIONAL DAY OF FASTING AND PRAYERS BEFORE THE MONTH ENDED SO THAT GOD MIGHT  FORGIVE ALL SINS, HEAL THE LAND OF NIGERIA OF INSECURITY AND  STOP INCESSANT BLOODSHED!

THIS IS THE JUDGEMENT OF THE LORD AGAINST BUHARI FOR DISOBEDIENCE AND FAILING TO HONOUR GOD AS HIS CREATOR!

Thus saith the Lord: “When you were frustrated after your third attempt to become democratic president of Nigeria, I your FATHER encouraged you to make one more attempt and gave you the much-coveted seat against all odds.

“ I stood by you in spite of your weakness, incapability, frailty, indisposition, health deficit - and the least I EXPECTED of you was to follow my instructions through my appointed Prophet in Zion.

“ I your FATHER overlooked past errors of commission and omission and your inadvertent sins BUT this deliberate disobedience WILL I NOT FORGIVE!

“From henceforth I have rent the kingdom of Nigeria from you and have given it to your neighbour whom you have so despised but who is far better than you.

“You will remain a mere figure-head and all your surrogates and kitchen cabinet members will disobey and flout your weightless executive orders.

“I am not blind to massive corruption of the past seven years under your watch which has increased crimes, criminalities and bloodshed all over the land. I will require the blood of all the innocent from your hands.

“I have withdrawn my immunity from you and you will continue to suffer several bouts of sickness henceforth. You will travel to foreign lands to seek help but will get none!

BUT YOU WILL NOT DIE IN OFFICE!

“All your cohorts will receive punishment according to the gravity of involvement in the looting and robbery of the National Treasury for their selfish ends and aggrandizement.

“I will definitely not spare anyone found culpable in your administration, your family/ friends or among members of your ruling party in order to save My country and My CHILDREN whose blood cry to me daily from the Earth!”

HARASS BUHARI, KIDNAP BUHARI, IMPEACH BUHARI, BUHARI MUST GO!

Previously, terrorists had sent a signal to Buhari that he was not safe even in his home State Katsina, when his advance motorcade convoy was attacked with servicemen casualties undisclosed on Tuesday 5th July, 2022!

Terrorist who boldly attacked the medium Correctional Centre Kuje in the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria Abuja, on Tuesday 12th July 2022, are yet to be arrested and one of the escaped prisoner who appeared in a videotape at the weekend had not been brought to justice like the others!

In a video clip that was released a week ago the escapee and his terror group boasted that they would kidnap both President Buhari and Kaduna’s Governor El Rufai and ferry them into the forest!

A United States Agency statistics recently released in Nigeria states a total figure of 5,222 (five thousand, two hundred and twenty-two) violent killings were recorded between February and July 2022. 

Politicians across party lines including the ruling APC legislators have all condemned Buhari’s Government with one voice that APC has failed Nigerians.

PRESIDENCY MUST AVOID COLLATERAL DAMAGE IN AN EFFORT TO RESCUE KIDNAPPED VICTIMS!

Reacting to all accusations and criticisms, the Presidency denounced terrorist activities in the country and lamented that military attacks on their locations could result in collateral harm on innocent hostages.

 It described the threat as a propaganda tool to instill fear in the citizens and force government  to submit to their demands adding that terrorism is a global scourge that must be fought by all actors- the military, civilian population and the communication service providers. 

The Presidency called on the media to support government against the exploitation of the internet and social media for terrorist purposes and assured citizens that the President and Commander-In-Chief will continue to support the military with equipments to bring INSECURITY to a stop!

WHAT BUHARI MUST DO WITHIN THE SIX WEEKS OF GRACE TO TERMINATE NATIONAL INSECURITY!

He should dust up all the RECOMMENDATIONS BY GOVERNOR EL-RUFAI’S RESTRUCTURING COMMITTEE ON TRUE FEDERALISM which have been lying on his table for over four years, assemble his legal team to draft them into a UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION with which the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), will organise and conduct the 2023 General Elections that will produce a PRIME MINISTER!

Highlights of recommendations include but not limited to STATE POLICE, Derivation Principles, Fiscal Federalism and Revenue Allocation,  Devolution of Powers, Resource Control, (exploitation and revenue sharing of resources from oil/minerals), through constitutional amendments, Local Government Autonomy, REFERENDUM to decide serious national or state issues which should be decided by referendum! 

Currently Referendum is absent in the Military 1999 Constitution but which insertion in the brand new constitution can be quickly done. INDEPENDENT CANDIDACY which precluded citizens from being forced to join any political party also needs to be inserted!

Legislators can be summoned from their recess by the President to resume and attend to this urgent National issue THIS AUGUST, 2022; discuss, debate and approve the NEW BILL FOR A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION AND ensure that it was concluded and approved for Presidential signature in ONE LEGISLATIVE DAY!

With this bold move, tension will be doused, frayed nerves will be calmed and INSECURITY WILL FRITTER INTO OBLIVION!

Major General Muhammadu Buhari can still save whatever remained of his lost image!

MUST BUHARI ALSO BORROW MONEY TO COMMISSION “NIGERIA AIR” AT THIS AUSTERE PERIOD?

#CAMPAIGN FOR REFERENDUM AND NOT VIOLENT AGITATIONS! [NO.30]. DR. DAVID OLUFON. 30th July, 2022.

MUST BUHARI ALSO BORROW MONEY TO COMMISSION “NIGERIA AIR” AT THIS AUSTERE PERIOD?

“We will start with domestic flights and then we grow to become International and then we move to become regional and intercontinental.”

The incumbent Nigeria's Minister of Aviation Mr. Hadi Abubakar Sirika was credited with the above statement at the conclusion of the Federal Executive Council Meeting of Wednesday 27th July 2022, when he addressed journalist at the State House, Abuja.

 He said that FEC approved the leasing of three aircrafts for the country’s proposed national carrier christened “Nigeria Air”.

Hadi Sirika happens to be one of the Buhari's favorites who had political advantage from Katsina, first as member of the House of Representatives, later a Senator and now two-term Minister of Aviation in the Buhari Administration.

Major General President Muhammadu Buhari has never hidden his agenda of nepotism, despotism and tribalism from his first term in office. He has also surrounded himself with surrogates who would hold allegiance to his oligarchic disposition!

Sirika claimed that the outline of the air business case - an Airbus and Boeings- that would grow the airline within a short period was earlier approved by FEC.

According to him the new airline would start with domestic flights in spite of current challenges in the aviation industry believing that the global phenomenon will not last forever because the aviation industry is a very resilient sector.

HADI SIRIKA PULLED THIS STUNT DURING HIS FIRST TERM IN JULY 2018 BUT FAILED!

While the Nigerian government is saddled with so much debts running into trillions of naira/dollars, Foreign Exchange rate is N710 NAIRA TO ONE DOLLAR, INSECURITY is at its highest and worst peak, and several Airlines across the globe and most especially in Nigeria are being grounded, would it not sound foolhardy for any group of sane persons to believe that the THE FLYING BORROWED KITES IN THE THE AIR SHOULD BE AN ECONOMICALLY VIABLE VENTURE AT THIS AUSTERE PERIOD?

Hadi Sirika, had gullibly deceived President Buhari and FEC that government investment in the contract will be very minimal because private investors will take major shares of the financing.

“NIGERIA AIR” WAS FIRST UNVEILED AT THE UK’S FARNBOROUGH AIR SHOW JULY 2018 WITH THE PLAN TO LAUNCH IT IN DECEMBER OF THE SAME YEAR BY HADI ABUBAKAR SIRIKA!

The over zealous and very ambitious Hadi Sirika who was Minister of State for Aviation unveiled the name “Nigeria Air” while the Deputy Director Media and Public Affairs of the Ministry of Aviation said in that year that the Federal Government chose the name after it engaged over 400,000 people on social media!

The junior minister said on the occasion that a new national air carrier was one of President Buhari's election campaign promise and that the Nigerian government will not own more than 5% because it will be private sector led and driven with the balance of 95% through entrepreneurship investments.

He said at that time that 81 domestic regional and international routes were planned and that the government had been in talks with Airbus SE and Boeing Co about the Nigeria airplanes.

BOOTLICKERS, POLITICAL JOBBERS, SURROGATES AND GOVERNMENT APOLOGISTS ARE COMMONPLACE IN A MILITARY PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM OF NIGERIA BUT NEVER IN A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT LIKE IN THE UNITED KINGDOM!

Hadi Sirika and his ilks have brought Nigeria to its knees economically through dubious but  gargantuous non-existent projects that are not beneficial to the masses all in an effort to make illicit gains on the sidelines and keep the masses  in perpetual poverty and sufferings!

Was it not high time we all rallied round and recover Nigeria from the evil grips of the enemies of the state by opting for A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT instead of the heavily-monetised and institutionally-corrupt military presidential system?

Please join this campaign for REFERENDUM AND NOT VIOLENT AGITATIONS FOR THE ENACTMENT OF A BRAND NEW UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION THAT WILL INVOLVE GRASSROOT PARLIAMENTARIANS AND PRODUCED A PRIME MINISTER FOR NIGERIA IN THE YEAR 2033 AND NOT A PRESIDENT!

Share on Facebook, Twitter Instagram YouTube Pinterest and other social media and internet facilities. The new Nigeria of our dreams is within our reach!

TERRORISTS ALSO LOVE PEACE AND GOOD LIFE!

ZION B-BC   NEWSLETTER.   

(Looking at Nigeria and the World's Political System From a Godly Perspective).

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 11.NO 467.  24th July, 2022.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

TERRORISTS ALSO LOVE PEACE AND GOOD LIFE!

NINE months into the first term of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Administration in 2015, Major General Muhammadu Buhari worked alone without cabinet ministers but devoted his time to fighting and dislodging Boko Haram terrorist that had taken over 17 Local Government Areas in Borno State North-East Nigeria!

To the credit of the Commander-In-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces, his highly professional combatants fought gallantly and succeeded in defeating and completely annihilating them in their hundreds of hundreds as sanity and good governance was restored to the region!

Now seven years into his two-term administration the story had completely changed from bad to worse and worse to worst. The reason is not far-fetched because the Major General appointed for himself dubious lieutenants as ministers, secretary to government, head of service, special assistants special advisers and corruption which he promised fight frontally took over his entire government.

It is true that Buhari inherited terrorism and banditry from his first term but nepotism in appointments which birthed inefficiency, lack of cooperation among service chiefs and their subordinates had worsened the situation of insecurity year-on-year!

BOARDROOM NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL MEETINGS HAVE NOT PROVIDED SOLUTION TO THE INCESSANT TERRORISM!

Whenever terrorists struck and high casualty figures were very devastating, boardroom security experts always met with Mr. Commander-in-Chief to proffer, (most of the time), kinetic solutions which had hardly recorded successes.

 Violent conflicts could be resolved on two major planks:

 1. Kinetic approach and 2. Non-kinetic option which normally translates to negotiations for peace and tranquility to reign in the polity.

While the first option is the most popular because it involves forceful and physical approach to suppress insurrections and insurgencies because the non-state actors were usually armed and ready for battle instead of engaging in peaceful negotiations.

Although the criminals were never poised to win in any confrontation with legimate government institutions, they were always ready to create anarchy, confusion and instability and most especially fear among the citizens who were usually the casualties of criminalities!

The non-kinetic option involves serious dialogues and negotiations which would get parties from both sides to sit at round table conferences with a view to peacefully resolving such unpleasant situations.

GOVERNMENTS WOULD RATHER NOT NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS ACCORDING TO DIPLOMATIC NORMS.

BUT the United States of America which is the most formidable world power would as a matter of policy never negotiate with terrorists but behind the scenes had always brokered peace and gotten tremendous and meaningful results in most negotiations by descending from its high horse!

Major General Buhari initially took such rigid policy at the beginning  of his first tenure by militarily crushing these non-state actors but as they gained empathy from criminal associates which supplied them with arms/ammunitions,  within and from without Nigeria, PEACE AND TRANQUILITY eluded the Nation from 2009-2022!

But was it not high time Nigerian leaders realised that the second option would pay off and peace would be secured faster than military arsenals and Tucano Jets acquired with borrowed funds?

Terrorism was unleashed on the nation due to lack of basic amenities of life, uneven distribution of social needs, unemployment of able-bodied citizens, deprivation of quality education  for children of school age and bastadization of the IVORY TOWER where University Lecturers have been on INDUSTRIAL STRIKE for over 172 days as at 24th July, 2022, over non-implementation of adequate salaries and emoluments by Buhari's APC GOVERNMENT!

TERRORIST ORGANISATIONS NO LONGER FIGHT ON IDEOLOGICAL PLANKS BUT FOR MASSIVE ACQUISITION OF MONIES PAID THROUGH RANSOMS.

Nigeria Federal Government should realise that they have become the underdogs in this terrorist war on Nigeria for the following reasons:

Terrorist have acquired highly sophisticated and modern weapons that have made nonsense of Nigeria’s military artillery when they successfully attacked strategic government institutions – Correctional Centres, Police Force HQ Abuja, Police Stations across the nation, Military Cantonments, Kaduna Air Force Base/Airport, Abuja-Kaduna train attack and even the PRESIDENTIAL CONVOY!

The Nigerian Armed Forces all put together with the Police and other security operatives are not up to 2 million.

 This war of attrition had been on for over 13 years and had overstretched the entire military and other security personnel.

1)  Buhari should take advantage of individual negotiations by some patriotic Nigerians to find a lasting solution to the imbriglio.

2) The terrorist are also tired of the insecurity situation because they also love good Life and Peace; the life of hide and seek in the forest has become unbearable.

3) Terrorists, bandits and kidnappers will embrace peace with the right leadership in place.

4) Terrorists who were an “army of occupation “ for almost five years under Jonathan's administration,  lived large in various local governments of the North East, collected taxes and oppressed the innocent citizens in most of the remote areas are still haunted and would prefer to live normal lives. 

5) These enemies of the State also want to partake in the NATIONAL CAKE in order to enjoy better life therefore Nigeria technocrats should enter into dialogue to finally broker the conflict so that PEACE will reign supreme in Nigeria in the long run!

HOW IS DE-RADICALIZATION DIFFERENT FROM AMNESTY WHICH THE BUHARI GOVERNMENT HAD BROKERED SINCE HIS SECOND TERM WITH SURRENDERED BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS?

Not less than ONE MILLION Boko Haram Terrorists and members of their families have surrendered to the Armed Forces in the last three years of the second term of Mr President Buhari and all of them have been profiled, counselled and re-integrated into the society.

Majority of them are doing well because they have repented and now enjoying family life, good working environments having gone through vocational training and dwelling at peace with their neighbours in their various places of domicility.

These New Nigerians had blended and have been accommodated into the societies which now celebrate naming ceremonies, school graduation and vocational apprenticeship convocations together with them!

WHAT IS THE HUE AND CRY IN RESPECT OF HOW ZAMFARA EMIR TURBANED A NOTORIOUS TERRORIST ON SATURDAY 16 JULY 2022?

If terrorists and bandits could frolic with Governors, Emirs and State Cabinet members, what then is the big deal If one of them who was declared wanted by the POLICE as a notorious and ruthless criminal was turbaned as SARKIN FULANI OF YANDOTON EMIRATE IN ZAMFARA STATE, NORTH-WEST NIGERIA?

According to media reports the terrorist kingpin known as Ada Aleru was notorious for his ruthlessness while he operated his militia group in Zamfara State where thousands of people have been killed.

But the Emir was quoted as saying that the terrorist gang leader was turbaned as chief to ensure a lasting peace in his area of authority.

Over 100 terrorists who rode on motorcycles accompanied their leader to the ceremony where money was lavishly spent and over 17 cows and several rams slaughtered to entertain guests on the occasion.

The question is: WERE the policemen or the Commissioner of Police who issued warrant of arrest on the terrorist kingpin on annual leave while the ceremony took place for several hours?

THIS IS GOOD LESSON FOR BUHARI'S GOVERNMENT TO KNOW THAT THE MILITARY PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM HAS WOEFULLY FAILED AND THE ONLY OPTION FOR HIM NOW IS TO THROW IN THE TOWEL BY EMBRACING THE PROPOSED UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION THAT WILL PRODUCED A PRIME MINISTER IN THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTION OF FEBRUARY 2023!

The President who is a good soldier should know when the chips are down and accept the new PARLIAMENTARY  SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT which will give opportunity to everyone to have A STAKE IN GOVERNANCE FROM THE GRASSROOTS up to the Central government as representatives, parliamentarians and even as INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES to guarantee lasting PEACE!

It's not too late for the old General to leave a good legacy behind as he hands over on 29th May 2023, to a PRIME MINISTER of the ELECTORATES' CHOICE!

“ A stitch in time saves nine!”

But was it not high time Nigerian leaders realised that the second option would pay off and peace would be secured faster than military arsenals and Tucano Jets acquired with borrowed funds?

Terrorism was unleashed on the nation due to lack of basic amenities of life, uneven distribution of social needs, unemployment of able-bodied citizens, deprivation of quality education  for children of school age and bastadization of the IVORY TOWER where University Lecturers have been on INDUSTRIAL STRIKE for over 172 days as at 24th July, 2022, over non-implementation of adequate salaries and emoluments by Buhari's APC GOVERNMENT!

TERRORIST ORGANISATIONS NO LONGER FIGHT ON IDEOLOGICAL PLANKS BUT FOR MASSIVE ACQUISITION OF MONIES PAID THROUGH RANSOMS.

Nigeria Federal Government should realise that they have become the underdogs in this terrorist war on Nigeria for the following reasons:

Terrorist have acquired highly sophisticated and modern weapons that have made nonsense of Nigeria’s military artillery when they successfully attacked strategic government institutions – Correctional Centres, Police Force HQ Abuja, Police Stations across the nation, Military Cantonments, Kaduna Air Force Base/Airport, Abuja-Kaduna train attack and even the PRESIDENTIAL CONVOY!

The Nigerian Armed Forces all put together with the Police and other security operatives are not up to 2 million.

 This war of attrition had been on for over 13 years and had overstretched the entire military and other security personnel.

1)  Buhari should take advantage of individual negotiations by some patriotic Nigerians to find a lasting solution to the imbriglio.

2) The terrorist are also tired of the insecurity situation because they also love good Life and Peace; the life of hide and seek in the forest has become unbearable.

3) Terrorists, bandits and kidnappers will embrace peace with the right leadership in place.

4) Terrorists who were an “army of occupation “ for almost five years under Jonathan's administration,  lived large in various local governments of the North East, collected taxes and oppressed the innocent citizens in most of the remote areas are still haunted and would prefer to live normal lives. 

5) These enemies of the State also want to partake in the NATIONAL CAKE in order to enjoy better life therefore Nigeria technocrats should enter into dialogue to finally broker the conflict so that PEACE will reign supreme in Nigeria in the long run!

HOW IS DE-RADICALIZATION DIFFERENT FROM AMNESTY WHICH THE BUHARI GOVERNMENT HAD BROKERED SINCE HIS SECOND TERM WITH SURRENDERED BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS?

Not less than ONE MILLION Boko Haram Terrorists and members of their families have surrendered to the Armed Forces in the last three years of the second term of Mr President Buhari and all of them have been profiled, counselled and re-integrated into the society.

Majority of them are doing well because they have repented and now enjoying family life, good working environments having gone through vocational training and dwelling at peace with their neighbours in their various places of domicility.

These New Nigerians had blended and have been accommodated into the societies which now celebrate naming ceremonies, school graduation and vocational apprenticeship convocations together with them!

WHAT IS THE HUE AND CRY IN RESPECT OF HOW ZAMFARA EMIR TURBANED A NOTORIOUS TERRORIST ON SATURDAY 16 JULY 2022?

If terrorists and bandits could frolic with Governors, Emirs and State Cabinet members, what then is the big deal If one of them who was declared wanted by the POLICE as a notorious and ruthless criminal was turbaned as SARKIN FULANI OF YANDOTON EMIRATE IN ZAMFARA STATE, NORTH-WEST NIGERIA?

According to media reports the terrorist kingpin known as Ada Aleru was notorious for his ruthlessness while he operated his militia group in Zamfara State where thousands of people have been killed.

But the Emir was quoted as saying that the terrorist gang leader was turbaned as chief to ensure a lasting peace in his area of authority.

Over 100 terrorists who rode on motorcycles accompanied their leader to the ceremony where money was lavishly spent and over 17 cows and several rams slaughtered to entertain guests on the occasion.

The question is: WERE the policemen or the Commissioner of Police who issued warrant of arrest on the terrorist kingpin on annual leave while the ceremony took place for several hours?

THIS IS GOOD LESSON FOR BUHARI'S GOVERNMENT TO KNOW THAT THE MILITARY PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM HAS WOEFULLY FAILED AND THE ONLY OPTION FOR HIM NOW IS TO THROW IN THE TOWEL BY EMBRACING THE PROPOSED UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION THAT WILL PRODUCED A PRIME MINISTER IN THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTION OF FEBRUARY 2023!

The President who is a good soldier should know when the chips are down and accept the new PARLIAMENTARY  SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT which will give opportunity to everyone to have A STAKE IN GOVERNANCE FROM THE GRASSROOTS up to the Central government as representatives, parliamentarians and even as INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES to guarantee lasting PEACE!

It's not too late for the old General to leave a good legacy behind as he hands over on 29th May 2023, to a PRIME MINISTER of the ELECTORATES' CHOICE!

“ A stitch in time saves nine!”

THE NIGERIAN JUDICIARY MUST OCCUPY IT'S PRIDE OF PLACE IN SPITE OF EXECUTIVE WICKEDNESS!

ZIONB-BC   NEWSLETTER.   

(Looking at Nigeria and the World's Political System From a Godly Perspective).

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 11.NO 466.  17th July, 2022.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

THE NIGERIAN JUDICIARY MUST OCCUPY IT'S PRIDE OF PLACE IN SPITE OF EXECUTIVE WICKEDNESS!

The Judiciary in every democracy should rightfully occupy a position of honour, integrity and respect in view of its enormous and uncommon responsibility in the adjudication of law, order, justice, equity and fair play within the polity.

Nigerian administrators claim to carry out all government duties through three structural arms namely the executive, legislature and the judiciary; but visibly negates the importance of maintenance of law and order through the law courts according to its grundnom, the 1999 Constitution!

Most prominent of the three are the first two which deliberately overshadow the judiciary which is constitutionally saddled with all legal jurisprudence which include but not limited to the following:

1) ensuring human rights adjudication, 

2) interpretation and application of laws, 

3) role in law-making,

4) equity legislation, 

5) protection and guardian of the spirit and letters of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, 

6) Power to get its decisions and judgments enforced etc.

The Judiciary as an arbiter between the executive and the legislature and also the protector of Human Rights abuses as often meted to the citizens through maladministration is also rightly described as “THE LAST HOPE OF THE COMMON MAN!”

The roles, functions and powers of the judiciary are exercised through the courts of law, tribunals and judicial officers from the customary (inclusive of “Sharia”), through to the magistrate, high courts and finally to the Supreme Court!

 The Judiciary should be the most powerful arm of government because of its arbitration duties but that is not the position in Nigeria!

MEMOIRS ON DELIBERATE BASTARDIZATION OF THE JUDICIARY IN THE PAST 22 YEARS OF NIGERIA'S NASCENT DEMOCRACY!

Beginning from Olusegun Obasanjo's Administration to Muhammadu Buhari the current Major General President of Nigeria, the Judiciary has suffered untold persecutions due to executive intervention in judicial adjudication in areas of sponsored crimes, criminalities and most especially institutional corruption!

The Judges were neither respected nor revered for their impartial role of arbitration in the daily dispensation of justice as members of the Bench but were made subservient and always  manipulated to submission especially to the Executive which pays their salaries, allowances and other emoluments.

During President Buhari's first term- October 2016, senior Judges including those of the Supreme Court were humiliated to submission through the instrumentality of the Department of State Security (DSS) in a STING OPERATION which “EXPOSED” them as corrupt officers of the law! 

However most of the educated citizenry condemned the humiliation of the learned judges of the LEARNED PROFESSION because Judges Disciplinary Body, the National Judicial Council (NJC), was deliberately sidelined and after all hues and cries, the matter was resolved in favour of the judges who were tried and freed by their colleagues!

Judges Welfare Is Nothing To Extol!

In spite of their enormous responsibilities judges have not been well treated by successive governments in Nigeria. The story was told of a judge who was retired and one week later was evicted from his official quarters by law enforcement agents and his properties thrown out into the streets!

Judges salaries and allowances all put together never totalled One million naira per month and had to be solicited from the Executive as if they were being favoured!

 And whereas, the THREE ARMS of government according to the Constitution should work as a team to ensure good governance and sovereignty to the people of Nigeria to whom it rightly belongs. 

The Federal Republic of Nigeria is a state based on the principles of democracy and social justice and therefore the security and welfare of the people should always be the primary purpose of a United government of Nigeria.

Retired Chief Justice Tanko Muhammad!

The erstwhile Head of the Judiciary Tanko Mohammed who resigned his position in June 2022 following very serious allegations of maladministration and financial impropriety levelled against him unlike his predecessor Walter onnoghen threw in the towel honorably as he claimed deteriorating health for his departure from the Bench. However it is worthy of note that 14 Justices of the Supreme Court who made the allegations were waiting for disciplinary administrative process through the NJC, but he aborted the move through his resignation.

Justice tanko Mohammed who was appointed 25th January 2019 and was due to retire by the end of the year 2023 which was 18 months early.

Although there is an uneasy calm in the Judiciary for now because the President Major General Buhari nominated the most senior in rank to step in as acting Chief Justice of the Federation while Nigerians wait patiently for all allegations against the retired Çhief Justice to be investigated.

 Some of the allegations by the 14 Justices of the Supreme Court include but not limited to the following: lack of accountability, poor  work environment, incompetence, lack of IT DATA and electricity to perform their duties in spite of an allocation of NGN120 billion naira to the judiciary in the 2022 budget. Etc.

PROVIDENTIAL INTERVENTION OF NEW SALARY REGIME THROUGH THE NATIONAL INDUSTRIAL COURT!

Sequel to the suit earlier filed by a legal practitioner Sebastian Hon, Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), to seek a salary increase for Nigerian Judges, Nigerian Judges will remember Friday 15th July 2022 with nostalgia as they reminiscence over the ruling of the Justice of the National Industrial Court (NIC), who ordered the immediate payment of ₦GN10 million Naira monthly to the Chief Justice and NGN9 million to other judges of Supreme Court provided President Buhari would direct immediate compliance to the Court order! The increase embraces the entire Judiciary.

The Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), the Attorney-general of the Federation and Minister of Justice (AGF), and the National Judicial Commission (NJC),were to comply with the directive of the court  immediately.

 In her judgement the court held that by the combined interpretation of Section 4 (1 (2) of the 1999 Constitution as amended and the First Schedule of 6 (1b) and the RMAFC Act 2004, that the first and second defendants did not have the power to neglect by failing to perform their constitutional and statutory duties of reviewing judges salaries since 2008.

The Judge also ordered and upward review of the salaries of the affected judicial workers every year or at most every two years. She also awarded a NGN500, 000, naira judgement cost in favour of the claimant to be paid by the first second and third respondents.

The honourable Jurist held that there was abundant evidence to support the claims that the current salaries of judges and justices which were last reviewed in the year 2008 no longer reflect modern realities owing to the devaluation of the naira the exchange rate and the general economic downturn.

She also held that such negligence impoverished the judicial officers and subjected them to embarrassment which situation was tantamount a national shame and that efforts by the National Assembly and the National Judicial Council to have an out-of-court settlement failed. 

SHOULD TANKO MUHAMMAD BE DECORATED WITH THE SECOND HIGHEST NATIONAL HONOUR OF GRAND COMMANDER OF THE ORDER OF NIGER (GCON), CONSIDERING THE WEIGHTY ALLEGATIONS OF MALADMINISTRATION AND CORRUPTION LEVELLED AGAINST HIM?

Shortly after his retirement as Chief Justice of Nigeria in June 2022, Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad was conferred with the second to the highest honour of Grand Commander of the Order of Niger by President Major General Buhari who showered him lavishly with accolades) encomiums, shortly after the swearing-in of the acting CCJ Justice Olukayode Ariwoola at the Aso Rock Villa Abuja.

Was that show of addicted nepotism and insensitivity to the collective sensibilities of Nigerians necessary? Was retired Chief Justice Walter Onnoghen so honoured? Why was the norm of “what is good for the goose is good for the gander” not applicable to both men who retired under abnormal circumstances?

WE ARE AWARE THAT MAJOR GENERAL BUHARI IS EAGER TO RETURN TO HIS HOME TOWN DAURA, KATSINA STATE BUT HE MUST FULFILL HIS MANIFESTO TO IMPROVE THE ECONOMY, ALLEVIATE POVERTY, CRUSH INSECURITY ETC, WITHIN THE NEXT TEN MONTHS TERMINATING ON 29TH MAY 2023 AND GIVE ACCOUNT OF HIS STEWARDSHIP TO ALL CITIZENS OF NIGERIA AND TO THE ALMIGHTY GOD WHO GAVE TO HIM AND UNDESERVED OPPORTUNITY!

“But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.” Amen.

THIS JULY 2022 MUST BIRTH INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES TO SAVE NIGERIA FROM CRASHING TO GROUND ZERO!

ZIONB-BC   NEWSLETTER.   

(Looking at Nigeria and the World's Political System From a Godly Perspective).

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 11.NO 465.  10th July, 2022.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

THIS JULY 2022 MUST BIRTH INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES TO SAVE NIGERIA FROM CRASHING TO GROUND ZERO!

It is no longer news that Nigeria has the worst ratings in all international index classifications as regards good governance, economy, human rights protection, compulsory basic education, provision of affordable health facilities, unbridled insecurity, insurgency/terrorism, large-scale institutional corruption, etc, because of the unbroken chain of accursed selfish leadership of 62 years!

What is news is that these last set of evil leaders from 1999 to date discovered that the inherited military constitution was anathema to good governance but deliberately continued to operate the document for their own gain in order to amass illicit wealth and seamlessly siphoned gagantuous sums of monies from the porous financial system with arrogant IMPUNITY! The PANACEA to this dilemma is for the existing  PRESIDENCY, GOVERNORSHIP and LEGISLATURE STRUCTURES AT THE NATIONAL, STATES and the GRASSROOTS 774 LOCAL GOVERNMENT COUNCILS TO BE DISMANTLED FOR A PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT THROUGH THE URGENT CONVOCATION OF REFERENDUM IN REPLACEMENT!

INDEPENDENT CANDIDACY WAS ONE OF THE MAJOR RECOMMENDATIONS OF GOVERNOR EL-RUFAI'S COMMITTEE ON RESTRUCTURING OF NIGERIA AS A TRUE FEDERALISM.

In August 2017 the All Progressives Congress (APC,), set up a 23-Man Committee on True  Federalism which was headed by Kaduna State Governor Mallam Nasir El Rufai, which was scheduled to analyse various national conferences especially that of Jonathan’s 2014 and bring up recommendations to restructure the country. According to reports, the Committee engaged 8,014 people across the country and came up which 24 issues which Nigerians indicated interest.

Within FOUR MONTHS on 25th January 2018, a comprehensive report was handed over to former National Chairman of APC Chief John Oyegun who promised that by the middle of February 2018, all structures of the party would meet and consider the report so that the National Executive Council which is the caucus of the party will be able to decide on all salient issues.

At the time of this publication the Committee's report was still gathering dust on the table of Major General Muhammadu Buhari who set up the committee but disagreed with all the lofty recommendations MOST IMPORTANTLY THE ISSUE OF STATE POLICE WHICH SHOULD PROTECT LOCAL INDIGENES AT THE GRASSROOTS! 

Between January 2018 and July 2022 a period of four and a half years, not less than 500,000 Nigerians (without exaggeration), have lost their lives to the large scale insecurity perpetrated by Fulani Herdsmen, Boko Haram terrorists, bandits, gunmen, Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB), terrorists, Eastern Network Security (a terrorist arm of IPOB)!

 Also among the mercenaries are the Islamic State of West Africa (ISWAP), terrorists, kidnappers, assassins etc, who had been on the rampage in Nigeria because of the insensitivity of one man, just one man who happens to be opportuned to become the president of Nigeria from 2015 to date and will not listen to any advice for any quarters. 

There are cacophony of Voices calling for the resignation of this senile man to whom the sanctity of life means nothing. 

This is the same man who had told the whole world that Nigeria has ANCIENT GRAZING ROUTES through which Fulani Herdsmen MUST continue to ply even when such routes have been overtaken by 21st century global civilisation which operates TRUCKS TRANSPORTATION OF CATTLES! BUT the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT of Nigeria values Cows more than its Citizens and had always defended cattle rearers and the nomadic clan wherever they are domicile all over Nigeria.

In 2018 January fresh massacres of innocent farmers and rural dwellers began in Benue State like wildfire and spread to Plateau and Kaduna State and eventually engulfed virtually all Geo-Political Zones of the country! 

GOVERNOR EL RUFAI’S RECOMMENDATION ON INDEPENDENT CANDIDACY!

“We have included in the BIII that no one that wants to run as an INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE should not be a member of any political party six months to the election. We have put enough safeguards in our recommendations to ensure that independent candidacy is not the platform for opportunism.”

This recommendation was sequel to the fact that during the wide consultations, majority of respondents were opposed to independent candidacy but members believed that the APC Government should support INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES as their inclusion would widen the political space.

Governor EL-RUFAI’S four-and-half-years COMMITTEE’S Recommendation on Independent Candidacy is very expedient now to resolve the recalcitrance of BUHARI’S Government to resolve all RESTRUCTURING AGITATIONS through the application of REFERENDUM.

JULY 2022 TO FEBRUARY 2023 IS PRECISELY SEVEN MONTHS TO ANOTHER GENERAL ELECTIONS AND THE FOLLOWING STEPS MUST BE URGENTLY TAKEN WITH THE REFERENDUM’S “YES OR NO” FORMAT TO SAVE NIGERIA FROM FALLING OFF THE PRECIPICE!

1) A Referendum Bill (private or public), should be forwarded immediately to the NATIONAL ASSEMBLY for immediate consideration and passage THIS JULY to prepare for public participation in resolving all restructuring agitations for true federalism without further bloodshed!

2) A brand new UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION should be urgently drafted to suit Nigeria’s Local Environment and handed over to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to conduct the 2023 General Elections.

3) Independent CANDIDATES who are compliant to the six-month non-political partisanship recommendation should be allowed to join all accredited candidates to vie in all ELECTIVE OFFICES at the 2023 General Elections that will produce Representatives, Parliamentarians and a PRIME MINISTER!

STATE OF THE NATION!

The Nigerian State is experiencing the worst kind of insecurity which kept escalating day by day. Kidnapping offer ministers of God and attack on church congregations have been on the increase since the beginning of 2022. While some were released after payment of ransoms, others were murdered in cold blood.

Some State Governors have encouraged their citizens to apply firearms with which to defend themselves in view of the increasing number of massive attacks on the citizenry across cities, towns and villages in the Northern and Southern parts of the Nation!

Early THIS JULY an attack was carried out on the advance convoy of the President Buhari in his home State, Katsina! Within 24 hours of that attack the medium Correctional Centre in Kuje a suburb of the Federal Capital Territory was also attacked and over 600 inmates including 64 high-profile BOKO HARAM suspects were set free without resistance. 

According to reports there were no intelligence information before the attack, CCTV cameras at the facility were inactive, there were no DRONES to detect the approach of the attackers neither were no SATELLITE images of stealthy movement of the ISWAP Terrorists which numbered about 300!

THE PEOPLE ARE ANGRY AND ARE DEMANDING THAT MAJOR GENERAL BUHARI RESIGN!

Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA), is demanding that Mr Buhari should resign or be impeached over his alleged perennial failure to take decisive actions on terrorist. 

In a statement, National Coordinator of the body said that Buhari's government is lackadaisical in view of the spate of terrorist attacks in the country and have virtually turned the country into another Afghanistan.

The group also said that Kaduna State farmers have paid ₦GN400 million Naira as protective fees to FULANI TERRORIST in the state in order to be able to farm their lands.  According to them since Buhari's Administration from 2015, about 15 jailbreaks have been recorded with over 3,400 inmates released to continue to terrorize the nation. It said Buhari has failed Nigerians and it was time for him resign or be impeached!

NIGERIA HAS UNFORTUNATELY FOUND ITSELF IN THE HANDS OF EVIL LEADERS BUT THE TIME IS RIPE FOR CITIZENS TO STAND UP FOR THEIR RIGHTS AND DEMAND FOR A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT THAT WILL TERMINATE THE CURRENT SPATE OF INSURGENCY, INSURRECTION AND TERRORISM!

“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 

“For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon the.

“And the Gentiles shall come to thy light and kings to the brightness of by rising.

“Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.

“Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.” (Isaiah. 60: 1-5).

THE “OLULE”JINX BROUGHT OUT THE WORST IN MAJOR GENERAL MUHAMMADU BUHARI!

ZIONB-BC   NEWSLETTER.   

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 11.NO 464.  3rd July, 2022.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

(Looking at Nigeria and the World's Political System From a Godly Perspective).

THE “OLULE”JINX BROUGHT OUT THE WORST IN MAJOR GENERAL MUHAMMADU BUHARI!

The genesis of Ahmed Tinubu’s emergence as APC’s presidential flag bearer for the 2023 General Elections is traceable to the hop, step and jump failure of retired Major General Buhari in the 2003 2007 and 2011 Presidential Elections which broke the camel's back and shattered the soldier's dream of ever becoming a civilian president!

“OLULE” is a compound Yoruba word (Olu Ile), meaning, “Buhari fell” in the three elections until he Tinubu went to his rescue with assurance that he would win at the fourth attempt in 2015!

Before Tinubu’s tactical intervention, the angry and very bitter Buhari threatened in a television interview to rain fire, brimstones and bloodshed on the entire masses of Nigeria if the 2011 Presidential Election was rigged! He lost and true to his threat his fanatical supporters went berserk, killed, maimed, looted and touched hundreds of vehicles and immovable properties across most Northern cities.! According to Ahmed Tinubu in a statement delivered at a political gathering in Ogun State before the Abuja All Progressives Congress presidential “delegates convention”, he encouraged Buhari and assured him that he would support him to win and become president in 2015, with his (Tinubu’s) succinct support and motivation. He said he also promised to deliver all of the South West votes en-mass to Buhari BUT that at the end of his tenure it would be his (Tinubu’s) turn to rule the nation because he had faithfully served for 25 years without requesting for any favours!

TINUBU SAID BUHARI WEPT ON TV OVER ELECTION LOSSES!

Major General Buhari according to Tinubu wept bitterly on a national television station over his election failures and swore not to contest again  but he encouraged him not to give up.

The 2011 Presidential elections was held on 16th April 2011, but two days to that election, retired Major General Muhammadu Buhari who was the flag bearer of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), organised his final presidential campaign at the International Conference Centre, Abuja where he announced that he was retiring from politics at the conclusion of that election. But the move was apparently a manipulation to incense his supporters who would not agree that he should throw in the towel because he was a hero to them! 

In his address which was titled, “Creating Hope For the Future”, he said he was encouraged that the turn out was more encouraging than the previous two elections of 2003 and 2007 adding that he was convinced of victory. He also said that the campaign which was the third in the series would be the last one and that he would not present himself again for election into the office of president. However he alluded that in his first two outings he was rigged out and that all his supporters must be present during the counting and collation of the votes and also the announcement of the results.

“Because you haven't done this in all past cases you allowed them to turn your victories into defeats “he concluded with tears running down his face while lamenting over the intractable and multi-faceted problems which confronted the nation! He lost the election and within three days, violence which erupted in the North recorded about 800 deaths and thousands of innocent displaced citizens in the North East, West and Central parts of the country!

IN SPITE OF THE BLOODSHED THAT GREETED  BUHARI'S LOSS IN THE 2011 ELECTIONS HE STILL BOASTED THAT “2015 WILL BE BLOODY IF ELECTION WAS NOT TRANSPARENT”!

Buhari complained bitterly about election rigging during his outing in 2011 and warned that should such happen again in 2015 by the grace of God “The dog and the baboon will all be soaked in blood!” In a BBC interview in May 2012 Buhari who spoke in Hausa while addressing members of the now defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), from Niger State who paid him courtesy visit in Kaduna commented on insecurity especially BOKO HARAM insurgency and described the Federal Government under the watch of Dr. Ebele Jonathan as the “the biggest Boko Haram”! He also said, “by 2015, God willing something would definitely happen. They either conduct a free and fair election or they go a very disgraceful way”

However the spokesperson for the Congress of Progressive Change explained that the dogs and baboons statement credited to Buhari wasn't calling for bloodshed but it was a classical Hausa idiom.

 He explained that the phrase was an idiomatic expression which does not give the exact meaning when the words are put together. He also said that the reference to soaking dogs and baboons in blood was not calling for bloodshed but an idiomatic expression regularly used in Hausa language!

BUHARI WAS NO DOUBT A DESPERADO WHO WOULD USURP POWER AT THE EXPENSE OF THE BLOODSHED OF THE SAME TALAKAWAS WHOM HE PROFESSES TO LOVE!

It did not take long for Buhari to be exposed that he only wanted to prove that he also could attain or surpass the post- military achievements of his former superior like General Aremu Obasanjo and especially Ibrahim Babangida who ousted him from office as the only Head of State that spent only 23 months in office!  In over seven years of BUHARI’S ADMINISTRATION, 2015-2022, CORRUPTION has walked on its head BUT he kept blaming 16 years of PDP maladministration for his own lapses.

We have said it over and over again that Nigerians citizens must be the worst sinners in the world to have been persistently governed by  crooked politicians/heartless soldiers who have turned them into 10th class citizens in the own country. Buhari's ambition blinded him to promise Ahmed Tinubu who had been a dubious politician from all ramifications that he would hand over the Nigerian State on a platter of gold to him because of monetary gains which he got in his desperation to become Nigeria's president at all cost in 2015?. 

Must Nigerians watch helplessly when when have the solution to rescue this nation from Buhari and his cohorts through a PUBLIC BILL FOR THE ENACTMENT INTO LAW THE INSTRUMENT OF REFERENDUM THROUGH WHICH WE CAN ALL DECIDE 

WHAT IS BEST FOR THE NATION?

Buhari's government had been the most insensitive administration since 1999 to date. Buhari and his cohorts took all decisions that promote their hidden agendas of nepotism, tribalism, religious bigotry etc, and never listened to superior arguments from technocrats, professionals and cerebrals that abound among the citizens! There is not one single promise in his manifesto that have been fulfilled to date. The country has no regular power supply, hospitals are mere consulting centres, no portable water for the citizenry and insecurity has kept the farmers away from meaningful farming engagements,. Tertiary institutions are closed for over 140 days because University Lecturers had been on strike and over 15.5 million out-of-school children are roaming the streets!   Terrorist and bandits increase by the day and kidnapping had become a lucrative industry in Nigeria.

Buhari government revels in impunity and resists all forms of opposition believing that it is insulated from any form of accountability! His penchant include, GLOBETROTTING, MEDICAL TOURISM AND BORROWINGS FROM INTERNATIONAL BODIES & GOVERNMENTS!

IT'S TIME TO CLOSE RANKS AND JETTISON THE PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT IN NIGERIA FOR A PARLIAMENTARY UNICAMERAL CONSTITUTION AND PRODUCE INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES THAT ARE WELL QUALIFIED TO BECOME GRASSROOT PARLIAMENTARIANS FROM AMONG WHOM A PRIME MINISTER WILL EMERGE IN THE 2023 GENERAL ELECTIONS!

Nigeria cannot remain on the chessboard of Buhari/Tinubu Coalition. It was high time that the DUO is challenged before the United Nations and the International Criminal Commission (ICC), at the Hague for quick intervention so that the country will not explode suddenly through the worst corruption at the highest level in government.

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.  

I am, yours sincerely, Dr. David B.A. Olufon, Resident Pastor and Editor. 08130669886, 08080243066. g-mail-dvdolufon@gmail.
