BUHARI IS A POLITICAL REJECT, HAUNTED BY HIS PAST RUTHLESSNESS.
Icheoku shall make a little detour to provide some insight into the supposedly puzzling question arising from the just concluded parliamentary election in Nigeria - why did Obasanjo lose Ogun State? The loss suffered by Olusegun Obasanjo in Ogun State should not be surprising to attention-paying Nigerians who have been meticulously following politics in Nigeria. Simply put, as between Obasanjo and the sons and daughters of Oduduwa, there is no love lost - never; not now, not yesterday and not the day after tomorrow nor tomorrow for that matter. .
Olusegun Obasanjo have always lost elections in his primary constituency - in 1999, 2003 and 2007. In 1999 the Hausa-Fulani oligarchs smuggled Obasanjo into Aso Rock and subsequently in 2003 and 2007, Obasanjo apportioned political offices to himself and his cronies in a selective process disguised as an election. Majority of Nigerians knew that Obasanjo could never win and did not win any election in Yoruba land since 1999 but for the rigging and apportioning of votes which placed a facade of electoral victory on Obasanjo. So last Saturday, when President Jonathan allowed a free and fair election to take place in Yorubaland and among other nationalities in Nigeria for the first time and votes really counted; behold Olusegun Obasanjo's mask of political influence was take off and his political irrelevance in Yoruba land particularly Ogun State came to the fore. Not only did his party PDP lose in Yorubaland but his very own daughter Iyabo Obasanjo lost her reelection bid to the senate including in Obasanjo's own voting booth. A statement was then made for the umpteenth time by the Oduduwa electorates that Obasanjo is a political nobody in Yoruba-land and commands of little of no political influence therein. Icheoku says, so Nigerians instead of acting surprised that Obasanjo lost in the last election, please try understanding the political nitwit that Obasanjo is in Yoruba-land especially Ogun State.
Now as to the matter of Buhari and his rejection by his northern people, we shall treat it state by state and emirate by emirate. Buhari lost Kano State because of his past antagonism of the traditional ruler of the Emirate of Kano, HRH Ado Bayero, who he reprimanded just for visiting Israel. It was personal as such humiliation is never forgiven and even when, is not so easily; and the people of Kano remembered Buhari's disrespect for their Majesty and handed him a dud electoral check. Buhari also went to Kano and poured praises on the late Sani Abacha, a man loathed so much by so many in his adopted home state of Kano for among other things, planning to dethrone the same Emir of Kano. In Sokoto State, Buhari lost because he overthrew their son, President Shehu Shagari government in his military coup of December 1983. Now in 2011, the Sokoto caliphate remembered for Buhari his unfriendly gesture and paid him back. with an electoral defeat. Moreover Buhari's beloved Abacha put a spanner in the Sokoto Caliphate when he dethroned and imprisoned the former Sultan of Sokoto, Ibrahim Dasuki and later banished him totally from the caliphate. Icheoku asks how can such an anti-Sokoto caliphate personality like Buhari be rewarded with a victory by the same people he has been antagonizing ever since. Lastly the rivalry for political superiority and supremacy between the people of Sokoto and Katsina is an open secret which led to the creation of Katsina State out of the former Sokoto State and still exists till date. So why would Sokoto enable a Katsina person? In Kebbi State, Buhari lost because the people hates him by proxy of their hatred for his former ADC Jokolo (the 53 suitcases smuggler); who later forced himself into the throne as Emir of Gwandu but was later dethroned and banished from the emirate. So which Nigerian in his right senses expects Buhari to turn around and win in Kebbi State where his boy was thrown out of office and asked to forever stay away? Jigawa State people are more enlightened and their beloved Governor Sule Lamido is fully grounded to let an Islamic bigot deceive his people into a parochial voting bloc.
The story is the same throughout the rest of the north and the people of Middle Belt, present day north central are tired of playing second fiddle to their Hausa-Fulani overbearing fellow northern inhabitants and made a revolting b-line in support of President Jonathan's PDP. Buhari also hurt the sensibilities of the people of Yoruba-land by assaulting their legendary political father Obafemi Awolowo, whose passport Buhari quickly seized following his military coup of 1983. Buhari also canceled Lagos State metro project without any justifiable reason other than it was simply too good to be cited in the south? Buhari also reprimanded the Ooni of Ife Sijuwade for merely visiting Israel and you wonder whether Buhari could be so easily forgiven by the sons and daughters of Oduduwa-land for disrespecting their traditional institution. Icheoku will not belabor the fact that Barthlomeow Owo, Lawal Ojulope and Bernard Ogendegbe were all sons of Oduduwa-land, who Buhari mercilessly murdered for a trifle infraction of drug peddling, a then non death-penalty offense. Then come the South East Igbos who have nightmares thinking about a Buhari presidency after the roughshod he dealt them when he imprisoned their son Vice president Alex Ekwueme in Kirikiri Maximum prison following his coup of 1983 while the president was put in a cozy guest house.
So, Icheoku asks how could a man who have wronged so many Nigerians and repeatedly rubbed them on their wrong sides and who owe so much indebtedness to Nigerians, with some Nigerians wishing for his head on a platter, ever delude himself thinking that he could be elected Nigeria president by Nigerians? Ordinarily, Icheoku would think that Muhammadu Buhari was banking on just his northern votes to put him in power; but he no longer even have those northern votes as the result of the last parliamentary election have shown. Admitted, it does not matter to Buhari and his comrades in zealotry that northern votes alone and by itself would never have been enough and adequate to secure him the keys to Aso Rock.
On the final analysis, Icheoku makes the following declarations:- Buhari cannot win the presidential election and if an accident happens, he shall not rule a one united Nigeria. Buhari has the blood of innocent Nigerians in his hand and if an accident happens, he shall relish more gory macabre sights. Buhari is an extremist and if an accident happens, will introduce his brand of purist Islamic codes for the rest of secular Nigerians. Buhari is a dictator and if an accident happens, he will revert to his old dictatorial ways, mannerisms and tendencies. Buhari has no wife or is not proud of her to parade her by his side and if an accident happens, who would be his modulating influence or better still, Nigeria's first lady? Nigerians, please do not be an accomplice in the hell that will be let loose in Nigeria should the accident of Buhari's presidency happen,. But the good news is that it is only a pipe-dream as hell will freeze over before Buhari's nightmarish dream ever come to pass. Not in Nigeria. Nigerians just don't do it - DO NOT VOTE FOR BUHARI.
