BUHARI, ARREST AND TRY HIM NOW FOR CAUSING BREACH OF THE PEACE.

“I would like to thank you very much for the courage and perseverance you have exhibited in enduring the long, tedious and tiring process of registration, accreditation, voting, protecting the vote and ensuring that it counts. May Allah (God) reward you abundantly. May I use this opportunity to inform you that we have commenced consultations at the highest levels to recover your stolen mandate. I would therefore urge you to continue to be patient. As I pointed out in my earlier address to you, it is wrong for you to allow miscreants to infiltrate your ranks and perpetrate such dastardly acts as the mindless destruction of worship places. Needless to say, this act is worse than the rigging of the elections." - Yinka Odumaki, spokesman for Buhari, delivering a message for calm, for and on behalf of defeated CPC presidential candidate Muhammadu Buhari.


Icheoku says analysing the statement issued by the defeated CPC presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, following the alamjiri disturbances in some parts of northern Nigeria, one solution/conclusion only is reachable - arrest and try Buhari now for causing mayhem in the country. Icheoku says this gaunt-looking fundamentalist, who have terrorized Nigerians before and is now terrorizing them again through his supporters, should be arrested for inciting violence and causing mayhem in the country, period. Buhari as a coup-plotting army man had arrested, detained, tortured, tried and imprisoned Nigerian-politicians before; so now that himself is a "bloody politician", he too can also be arrested and tried for offences against the state and people of Nigeria. Icheoku says inciting violence is egregious and Buhari does not have to directly do so by himself, but it suffices if he instigates others to do so on his behalf and the later is inferable from his recent speeches, conducts and mannerisms thus far. A man who was roundly trounced at the polls is now misleading his almajiri-followers into believing that "their mandate was stolen"; and you ask yourself for what purpose other than to infuriate these street urchins and cause mayhem in the land. Who would not be incensed if his thing was stolen; but the tragedy of it all is that Buhari did not win the election nor even came close to winning it to have any mandate, talkless of it being stolen. It is therefore reckless of him to employ such inciting words of a mandate being stolen, while addressing his unreasonable fanatical supporters; who like the mob in Julius Caesar just want to lay their hands on a Cicero. 


Icheoku asks but who gave Buhari the mandate he is claiming because the last available information has it that he lost in the South-south, South-east, South-west and North-central; yet he claims a none existent mandate from Nigerians or is Buhari's definition of Nigeria limited in geography to his core Northwest and Northeastern Nigeria? A very myopic mean man, with a hideous and hidden agenda against Nigeria and Nigerians; he would like to convince himself that he was given a mandate but that it was stolen by the PDP? Icheoku bemoans that Buhari would rather Nigeria goes to hell in a hand's basket if he is not declared the winner of the election than to accept his obvious three-times humiliating rejection by Nigerians; and you wonder what hallucinatory drugs he has been taking lately to be so delusional into thinking that Nigerians gave him a mandate and elected him president? This Buhari was also ignorant of the admonition of Professor Wole Soyinka that history are not kept just to refresh a fading memory but to provide a guide for future actions and Nigerians, during the last presidential election, were correctly guided by the sordid history of the man that wanted to be their president named Buhari into once again, rejecting him at the polls. A history which catalogued his so many crimes and atrocities against the people of Nigeria which made them reject him and to vote against his candidacy at the last polls. But Buhari will not take no for an answer and is now causing trouble in some parts of northern Nigeria. If Icheoku were in a position of authority, Buhari would have since paid dearly for this disturbances and we hereby call on the authorities in Nigeria to make Buhari pay for  his insane crimes of causing mayhem and disturbing the peace in the land. BUHARI IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW and should be PUNISHED SEVERELY to send a message to other my way or the highway fanatics lurking out there!


Further, Buhari thanked his followers for protecting the votes and ensuring it counted; yet he is now ready to throw the same people who "protected the votes and ensured it counted" under the bus. He is instigating them to commit crimes of rioting, murder and arson and be dealt with by the authorities, just because his expectations of becoming president were not met but was overwhelmingly denied by the people of Nigeria. Icheoku asks, how can a man who earlier thanked his followers for "protecting their votes and ensuring that it counted" now make a sudden u-turn and claim that his praises were merely fortuitous and gratuitous; and that they were not worth the saliva he spent making it? If these almajiris "protected the votes and made sure they counted" as acknowledged personally by Buhari himself, where then is his argument of election rigging coming from; except he purposely wanted to cause political disturbance in his Islamic enclave of Northwestern and Northeastern Nigeria? It is akin to approbation and re-probation, such cannot and should not be tolerated by any sane society and for this purpose, Icheoku says Nigeria is a sane society! Such equivocation in speaking, from a supposed political leadership, especially that leading a less educated, less cultured, less civilized and less rational or irrational group of almajiris, who might misread and misunderstand it is unacceptable. 


So it therefore necessary follows that were the unfortunate "miracle" of a Buhari's win to have occurred, he, Buhari, would have by the same token, beat his bony chest in triumph that his followers "protected their votes and safeguarded their democracy?" But for another's win, no; as Buhari will have none of that as he swallowed his earlier words and now forcefully and shameless alleging rigging of an election acknowledged by Nigerians and the rest of the world as very free and fair. Icheoku says this Buhari is crazy as a fox and should be checkmated immediately in order to prevent him from causing further mischief in Nigeria. Now is the time to do it and the heavens will not fall if Muhammadu Buhari is arrested, tried and locked up or even executed for his crimes against Nigeria and Nigerians:- he did same to Nigerians before and if it is done to him now will only be a Karmic law gone its full course. 


Finally, Buhari in his statement claimed that "some miscreants infiltrated his almajiri supporters" and caused the post-election disturbances witnessed in some parts of Northern Nigeria? Icheoku asks, who infiltrated who; since practically all Buhari's supporters are almajiri-miscreants and Buhari is fully aware of this when he solicited them to cause mayhem. Icheoku says Buhari is the miscreant in chief here who had called for lynching of people and did not also frown at the misbehavior of many of his supporters who were causing havoc and even confronting other party's presidential campaigns including the President and the Vice President's. Icheoku says these almajiri-miscreants learnt very well from the master-miscreant-in-chief Muhammadu Buhari and therefore should be punished alongside their master and mentor-miscreant. 


It is also on record that Buhari did not condemn the lives that were wasted by his urchins nor commiserate with the bereaved families but only made allusion to the places of worship that were torched and you wonder if the lives of Christians and southerners meant anything to this Islamic zealot, Buhari. Severally did these imbecilic idiots wrecking havoc and causing trouble in Northern Nigeria kill, maim and burn innocent Nigerians to death without Buhari seeing such nefarious act heinous enough to elicit his condemnation. Rather he maintained his wicked and conceited indifference, calling for change when he is the one that needs to be changed, when he is the one that needs to change his character and demeanor as well as political philosophy. Icheoku like every decent Nigerian apologist is really tired of the nuisance of Buhari and says the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into the political disturbances in the north should be the tool to finally nail this alligator and permanently remove him from the Nigeria political scene. Enough of Buhari, just get rid of his skeletal ass now!

TUNDE BAKARE DISOBEYED GOD, GETS HAMMERED BY FIRE!

Icheoku says the wrath of God has already descended upon Pastor Tunde Bakare, visiting his place of abode with an inferno. It is just the beginning of the many calamities to come his way for disobeying his God, who had "revealed" to him that Buhari SHALL NEVER be president of Nigeria, yet he ran with him anyways. His legion of bad fortunes are queued up and waiting the appointed time. Bakare's Ikeja home was burnt by fire from ON HIGH to show a displeased heaven, asking a man who claims to be a prophet and pastor of God, why did he do it? Why did he run with Muhammadu Buhari against God's will and against what is in the best interest of the people of Nigeria. 

This fake prophet claims to be a God's messenger of truth, yet he could not tell Buhari his mortal sins against Nigerians and his supposed revelation from his 'God' that Buhari cannot be elected president? Icheoku asks, was Tunde Bakare not aware of Buhari's atrocities against the people of Nigeria when he choose to be his vice presidential running-mate or did he just prefer to remain an apostle of truth only when it is convenient? Pastor Bakare, Icheoku says, please confess now why you did it and ask for forgiveness of the Nigerian people in order to avoid a deluge of bad fortunes on their way to visit you. Remember the voice of the people is the voice of God and Nigerians agreed that there will be no rest for a man who sacrificed his people's overall interest just for the prospective office of a vice president of and from the DEVIL. Or was it worth it Pastor Tunde Bakare - the sellout?

BUHARI BOTCHED A REAL SHOT AT THE PRESIDENCY, DID NOT SERIOUSLY WOO THE ACN?

Icheoku says on hindsight, Imam CPC Muhammdu Buhari must be regretting now why he did not bend over backwards to accommodate Bola Tinubu and the ACN and at whatever cost. Looking at the geographical spread of the just concluded Nigeria presidential election, it showed that Buhari and Jonathan were nearly evenly divided, with each winning their primary areas of catchment geopolitical areas. Icheoku says what a difference the Yoruba southwest votes finally made breaking for President Jonathan as opposed to Muhammadu Buhari whose stubbornness prevented an alliance with the Yoruba regional party, ACN. 

So peradventure, Buhari would have been the president-elect and designate in the waiting had he co-opted Bola Tinubu and even made him his vice presidential running mate if that was what it will take. As it has been shown, the fake Pastor Tunde Bakare had no political utility to Buhari's campaign as he could not muster a win even in his Opebi constituency of Lagos State Nigeria; so Icheoku wonders why his selection? A Bola Tinubu vice presidential candidacy would have made all the difference, a whole lotta difference to the outcome of the last presidential election as Buhari would have handily won with that key Yoruba Southwest ACN votes. But hey, we all are good at Monday night quarter-backing! Thankfully, the goodluck-God shadowing every step of President Goodluck Jonathan hardened Buhari's heart and there was no alliance!

NOLLYWOOD, IT IS ABOUT TIME THEY STEPPED UP THEIR GAME.

Icheoku says watching Nigerian films for some time now reveals one thing - they seem to have stalled. Nollywood seems to have ran out of fresh ideas about their stock in trade and/or where they want to take their industry to. It appears they have lost their mojo and their road-map and now bewildered at a fork on the road.

Their stories, acts, scenes, costumes and themes all look like a clone of each other - the same, shallow, stale and sitcom-like. Our conclusion, it is about time Nollywood innovated and start blowing things up if they still want to remain relevant and competitive in the industry; otherwise they will soon peter to a stop like most things Nigerian. Icheoku is a fan and wants Nollywood to thrive and live long; but only wishes they can take their game to the next level and start doing some more serious educated and intelligent stories and not rehashing all these pseudo-dramas they saturate the stores with. Analytical and articulate stories like a terrorist criminal manhunt, Abuja bombing, the making of President Jonathan, IBB military adventurism, the Great Zik, Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello docu-drama etc just to name a few. Just some intelligent movies is what it takes to remain buoyant in the field but not all these boy meet girl sitcom-dramas that they package and repackage each time. Icheoku and the rest of the watching-world, anxiously await Nollywood to take up and deliver on this challenge!

WHEN IS NATO GOING TO PROTECT SYRIAN CIVILIAN POPULATION?

Icheoku asks, when is the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) going to protect the Syrian civilians or are their lives worthless? The President Assad massacre of his people has been ongoing for quite some time now but Sarkozy and NATO seem to be looking the other way and bombing Libya under false pretense of protecting the Libyan population? 

Icheoku asks when is NATO going to provide the same mother-hen protection for the Syrians? But just for the asking, isn't it an injustice that a group of countries ganged up and are bombing and destroying a tiny country just because they can? Icheoku asks where is the moral justification of bombing Libya while Syria, which is committing the same offense Libya is accused of, is left off the radar? Or is it really "OIL interest" as opposed to the civilian population that is being protected by NATO and their bombing. But is NATO afraid of Syria and their Iranian backers to warrant the cold feet? Icheoku asks would Saudi Arabia also come under NATO bombing or have they not slaughtered enough of their civilian population to warrant NATO's no fly zone or bombing to protect their civilians? Put in another way, NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE!

PRESIDENT OBAMA'S WHITE MOTHER IS A CHIMP, SAYS MARILYN DAVENPORT.

"Republican Party official Marilyn Davenport of Orange country California just did. She emailed around her warped version of "President Obama's family portrait," with Mom-Obama, wearing red sweater and sitting in the middle? What an unfortunate case of a deranged, bored and loveless hag trying to stir an hornet nest with such a cliched satire, several years after it first surfaced during the last 2008 presidential election? Unfortunately in her attempt to spite the face, she decided to cut off the nose too and railroaded the president's white mother as an ape or better still a white ape?Icheoku never knew that white apes existed until the treacherous heart of this white trash produced a supposed family portrait right? Or did the brain-dead racist hater Marilyn Davenport forgot that the president's mother was a white  woman like herself or was she admitting that both white and black people are all apes or better still homo sapiens? Icheoku says only an ignorant buffoon could put out such a poor-taste photo, in an attempt to mock and caricature someone but only succeeded in exposing her little to nothing porous mental acuity in making such a great guffaw as grouping a white woman, an African man and their child as apes? If racist hater Marilyn Davenport set out to be funny, she failed woefully; if Marilyn Davenport set out to caricature the president, her message was lost in translation; if Marilyn Davenport set out to upset anyone, she did not succeed as reasonable people had pity instead for her lack of debt.This latest exhibition of the far right perversion of truth only helps to buttress the argument by the sane side of society that the vehement opposition by these fringe-groups to the presidency of President Barack Obama is purely racist as they continually see President Obama through their racist lens as occupying "their" White House. The picture under advisement here is evidence of what most of them think of the president except that the poorly educated and less exposed Marilyn Davenport of Orange county California, in her infantile infatuation to outdo others on her side of the divide went to town with her inner heart recess. Racist baiter and hater Marilyn Davenport "unfortunately" forgot however that the president's mother was a white woman like herself and Icheoku says this her ignorance of that material fact now makes her the most foolish, idiotic and imbecilic white woman in America. So it therefore logically follows that if according to this racist old witch, Marilyn Davenport, the president's white-mother is now a red sweater-wearing ape, then Marilyn Davenport, herself a white woman is also a qualified ape-woman; although Icheoku does not know if she also owns a red-sweater? What a buffoon this woman is and Icheoku bets her children and friends are very proud of her now? What a racist wicked dark soul that lies underneath her wrinkly skin. Hey racist white Americans, now you know; but love it or hate it, that 'NIGGER' or baby-chimp remains in "your" White House for the rest of his current presidency and hopefully through four more years thereafter. So all the likes of Marilyn Davenport of Orange County California can now go take a dive into a cesspool or better still jump off a bridge for all Icheoku cares. What an intolerant 74 year old bitch, this white woman resident of Fullerton is; and she is a member of the republican party and an elected member of Orange County Republic Party central committee and associates with those Tea Party fringed loonies?

IT IS NOW OFFICIAL, PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN IS THE PRESIDENT-ELECT!

"Goodluck Ebele Jonathan of the PDP, having satisfied the requirement of the law and scored the highest number of votes is hereby declared the winner and is returned elected." With those words, INEC chairman and chief returning officer of the presidential election, Professor Attahiru Jega, declared President Goodluck Jonathan the official winner of last Saturday's presidential election.


President Jonathan got 22,495,187 votes or 57% of the total votes cast and secured 25% of the votes cast in 31 states as required by the constitution to win the election. His closest follow-up, CPC candidate Muhammadu Buhari secured 12,214,853 votes or 31% of the total votes cast and secured 25% the votes cast in 16 states. ACN Nuhu Ribadu got 2, 079, 151 votes or 5 percent with only one win in Osun State while Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, ANPP candidate got 917,012,000 votes or 2 percent of the votes cast without any win in any state. There was a 54% voter turn-out in the election. 


Icheoku says congratulation to Nigeria President Goodluck Jonathan on his election as the next president of Nigeria for the next four years. Admitted he was not our primaries candidate of choice; but after the primaries, he was the only one with the least sins among the pack of presidential candidates, hence our tacit support. Be that as it may, Nigerian electorates have spoken and in a voice so loud and clear, with overwhelming majority votes of over twenty million, that President Jonathan is it. Our congratulations Mr President and President-elect Goodluck Jonathan; may God continue to guide your actions through the remainder of your term and the next four years, Amen!

BUHARI SHOW YOUR LOVE FOR COUNTRY NOW, CALL OFF YOUR ALMAJIRI RIOTERS.

Icheoku calls on the failed presidential candidate of the CPC, Muhammadu Buhari, to immediately call his almajiri prairie dogs to order or face the wrath of Nigerians; whose intelligence he is insulting by alleging election malpractice in the just concluded presidential election. Icheoku asks Buhari to just name a state which he would ordinarily have won which he did not win just because of his so called election malpractice? Buhari won all the sharia-states of northwestern and northeastern Nigeria, his stronghold, as expected; so it is very ingenious of him to now turn around and cry blue murder of an election malpractice, after all the encomiums he poured on the integrity of the INEC chairman who also happen to be from his area of the country. Is Buhari alleging that his northern kinsman INEC Attahiru Jega conspired with a southerner President Jonathan to rig the election against him and steal his victory, just because the result was different from his warped conception? The presidential election result did not deviate much from the pattern of the national assembly result earlier held and it is a known fact that Buhari seriously campaigned only in his core north stronghold. So what the hell and bull-crap was this Buhari feeding his almajiri-followers to steer such emotional outburst that so boiled-over  into the post-election riot?

If Buhari truly loves Nigeria as he claimed during his last "cry for his dear country", Icheoku says now is the time to show it and without any further ado; except that his self-confessed love seem to only appertain to his own section of the country. Buhari must as a matter of utmost immediacy, call for restoration of calm, order and peace in his sharia-land and urge his followers to sheath their swords. Election like every contest produces winners and losers and Buhari cannot be heard now to say it is me or no other otherwise Northern Nigeria will go to hell in hand's basket. Except that Buhari is a man whose is so selfish, so self-centered and so ego-maniacal driven that he bungled the best chance the opposition ever had going into this election, when he refused to yield grounds to make room for a successful alliance with the ACN. Further Muhammadu Buhari should know that his Islamic enclave in Nigeria by itself is not sufficient or adequate to elect him president of Nigeria; and that they are not the only repositories of violence and should beware of provoking the wrath of the over twenty million electorates that voted for President Goodluck Jonathan. 

If Buhari and his Islamic fundamentalists adventurers want violence, they will get it; but Nigeria will be better off if spared of any further aggravations. Enough should be enough for this Buhari who sees himself as the "NOW MESSIAH" and before him, no one else counts or matters. So what if elections were rigged or is he telling Icheoku that no single person voted for PDP in his polling booth or that all his votes were cast by eligible adults and not some miscreants underage almajiris? If elections were rigged, why did Vice President Sambo Namadi lose in his own constituency? If election was rigged, how was it possible that the PDP got no vote in Buhari's voting booth instead of just taking everything? Icheoku is not defending any irregularities that may have occurred during the election but we make bold to state that if any, they are too minimal to have made a dint in the final outcome; and that all circumstances considered there is no way Muhammadu Buhari would have won a free and fair election in Nigeria against President Jonathan or any other credible candidate without an alliance with the ACN, period. 

Buhari is a scary character and scared the Igbo Southeast electorates; Buhari bungled an alliance with the ACN and jolted the Yoruba Southwest electorates; the South-south is home to President Jonathan and Buhari is an Islamic religious fundamentalist and may have spooked the majority Christian population of the North central zone who are also tired of their subservient role in the north and decided to seek their fortune elsewhere. So Buhari, now tell Icheoku how you could possibly have won the Nigerian presidential election with only the almajiri votes of Northwest and Northeastern Nigeria? Throughout the life of this election, Buhari has been instigating mayhem and urging his followers to lynch people; Buhari did not admonish his followers to avoid violence and blood shed during the election like President Jonathan did; and Buhari did not pledge to accept the result of the election like other presidential candidates did; so Nigerians now know who the schemer has been throughout this election cycle. 

In conclusion, Icheoku calls on Buhari to accept in good faith the hard and cruel hand Nigerians dealt him during last Saturday's presidential election. It is now the third time Nigerians have rejected his application to be hired for the presidency and he should go now and rest forever for good -  a political reject extra-ordinaire! Buhari should know that he cannot force himself on Nigerians again as he did in December 31, 1983; not this time and never again. The earlier Buhari gets this fact into his knuckle head the better for him that being the president of a country is not by force.  Nigerians have overwhelmingly rejected Buhari and in unison declared that Buhari can never be allowed to rule a one united Nigeria again, even if elected. So one would ask, why bother or make a mockery of himself by alleging electoral malpractice in an election every observer commended as being the most free and fair election ever held in Nigeria. Should Icheoku add that the fake pastor and Buhari's running mate, Tunde Bakare, is standing by and watching while children of God are murdered and their properties destroyed in the name of his principal and a failed ticket, without condemning such ungodly act. Icheoku hopes God will remember this for this self-styled man of God on the day of judgement?

The only option now left for Buhari is for him to explore the possibility of his Sharia-people leaving the entity called Nigeria, may be in a somewhat South-Sudan like manner; and go forge their own Islamic Sharia Republic for themselves. But any other thing, aside of this option and/or short of calling his thugs to order, is tasking the patience of millions of Nigerians who are yet to forgive him for his military coup of 1983, the murders of three innocent Nigerians Owoh, Lawal and Ogedengbe, decree 4 and all the other inhuman treatments he meted out to Nigerians during his 1983 military adventure. Icheoku says, enough Buhari or you will have yourself to blame when the full weight of the law is thrown at you for inciting treasonable violence in Nigeria. 

Icheoku recalls that Buhari once locked up so many politicians in prison following his military coup of 1983 and so it might be a fair game to now reciprocate same to him in kind; so nothing stops security agencies from arresting and locking up Muhammadu Buhari in prison for causing mayhem since he is now also a bloody civilian and a failed politician. For the last time, Icheoku calls on Buhari to immediately accept the verdict of the electorates, give his concession speech, congratulate the president-elect and call his street urchins off the streets and thereafter go home and retire for good. Three times is more than enough for any one human-being to be told, thanks but no, thanks your offer to rule Nigeria not accepted. Muhammadu Buhari, Nigerians have rejected you for the umpteenth time and there should be no more blood shedding in your name, please!

EXPEL IBB, ATIKU, CIROMA AND GUSAU NOW, FOR ANTI-PARTY ACTIVITIES.

Icheoku says the election has been fought and won without the help of the northern elders forum and despite the overt as well as covert effort by them to sabotage President Jonathan's election victory. Now is the time to discipline those master-minds of anti-Jonathan activities within the Peoples Democratic Party; among which are Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, Abubakar Atiku, Aliyu Mohammed Gusau and Mallam Adamu Ciroma. These four northern tribal elders and renegade members of the PDP, who not only refused to support the PDP's candidate President Jonathan but went rogue on the party by actively sabotaging President Jonathan's election-effort, joining forces with the opposition parties should be punished.

Election has consequences and now that the election has been won without their help and notwithstanding their active sabotage, Icheoku says let those who made the victory possible send a strong message of their disgust to these miscreant saboteurs that what they did was wrong and unacceptable to the party. Icheoku says these four bitter and unforgiving elderly men are the real enemies within the PDP and they are the most dangerous type to have around; therefore they should be expelled from the party without further delay. 

It is not a case or question of carrying everyone along or trying to be magnanimous in victory;  no, a case as this one presented by these four northern feudalistic apologists, should be specifically treated on its merit and/or demerit. It is imperative that a strong message is sent to other future wanna-be saboteurs of the party, whose personal parochial regional interest may outweigh that of the national interest of the party, that such anti-party activities shall not be tolerated. This will help to encourage those party faithfuls who stuck their necks out despite what was unpopular in their respective regions and worked their butts off to ensure victory for the party's candidate that their good effort as good party faithfuls were noted. Further that the PDP appreciates their loyalty, effort and hard-work which resulted in the resounding victory the party's candidate recorded in the presidential election. 

Icheoku says it is simply unacceptable as it is unforgivable that Ibrahim Babangida, Abubakar Atiku, Aliyu Mohammed Gusau and Adamu Ciroma should spend their time campaigning and working against the PDP's presidential candidate and tirelessly worked for the  success of other party's candidate - the opposition's CPC Muhammadu Buhari. These four men despite being repeatedly courted by both PDP and President Jonathan's campaign team, still went out of their way to work for the opposition, helping them unsuccessfully to broker an alliance deal between Buhari's CPC with Bola Tinubu's ACN. Their objective and driving force being just to defeat the PDP's presidential candidate President Goodluck Jonathan; and you wonder the type of anti-minorities hatred these foursome have for President Jonathan? If any political activity ever reached the height of what may be appropriately termed a 'treason' against a political party, what these four men did amounts to that act and accordingly they should be held accountable and sanctioned. Icheoku says, they should be tried for their egregious anti-party activity and expel from the party immediately. This should be a mere formality since they have by necessary implication, already expelled themselves from the party by acting against the party's presidential interest. Moreso it has become evidently clear that these men lacked the follower-ship and political goodwill hitherto wrongly associated with them in the north and could be dispensed with without much fallout. Their popularity and influence is so localized and very little such that their expulsion from the party will not adversely impact the party's foundational strength. 

These charges are no longer mere accusations and allegations since the national secretary of the ACN, Senator Lawal Shuaibu, personally confirmed these four PDP elders involvement in strengthening the hands of the opposition parties by among other support, negotiating terms of the failed alliance between the ACN and Buhari's CPC. Icheoku asks what manner of true party men would, instead of working to ensure their party's victory in an election, be busy negotiating an alliance for the opposition parties to enable them to be strong enough to defeat their own party's presidential candidate at the polls. This is unacceptable, treasonous, despicable, wicked, mean-spirited, irrational and a gross anti-party for which they must be severely with expulsion from the party forthwith. Icheoku therefore calls on the Peoples Democratic Party to immediately expel the gang of aging tribal champions Ibrahim Babangida, Abubakar Atiku, Aliyu Mohammed Gusau and Adamu Ciroma for actively working against the PDP presidential candidate interest President Goodluck Jonathan; and joining forces with the opposition to ensure Jonathan's defeat at the polls. These four elderly men are not good party men as they refused and did not accept the wish of their party and its choice of a presidential candidate. They also went a step further by proactively working with the opposition against the PDP's candidate in order to defeat President Jonathan and should therefore suffer the consequences of their anti-party activities. Icheoku says, expel these four men from the PDP, now!

NIGERIA, WE HAVE A PRESIDENT!

With over 25% win in 24 states out of 36 states and votes totaling more than 21 million, Nigeria sitting President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan seem to have met the threshold required to win the presidential election just held. Icheoku expects INEC to soon formally declare President Goodluck Jonathan the next elected president of Nigeria. Until INEC makes it official, Icheoku says "congratulation" to the president of Nigeria for the next four years. Hail to the Chief!

NIGERIA PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION 2011, WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR.

The result of the presidential election so far released shows that the country is divided along religious lines - the fundamentalists and the more secular. The fundamental Islamic sharia northwest and northeast voted for their Imam in chief Muhammed Buhari while the rest of other more secular north central, southwest, southeast and southsouth areas of Nigeria voted for President Goodluck Jonathan. So far President Jonathan has won 23 states and the Federal Capital Territory Abuja, which encompasses four of the six geographical zones of the country; pulling in a total of 21,671,316 votes while Buhari won in 11 states, comprising two geographical zones and pulling  in a total of 11,081,731 votes. 


As Icheoku and the rest of the world, especially Nigerians await the final official declaration by INEC of the winner, our prayers is that Imam Muhammadu Buhari will not hesitate or delay in congratulating President Jonathan and giving his concession speech forthwith. That way, the country can begin to heal immediately with a view to moving forward with solving the numerous challenges bedevilling it. 


Lastly, when all is said and done, one thing out of this election is that the North no longer speaks with one voice as the north-central, the former Middle Belt, has awoken and now seek their fortune independent of the core north. Moreso the core north might become the new minority in Nigeria politics. Way to go middle belters! Here below is the tabulated results so far got with Zamfara and taraba States still outstanding, and it is likely they will be divided evenly with Buhari winning Zamfara and Jonathan Taraba.

NIGERIA PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION 2011, THE TRENDING RESULT

NIGERIA PRESIDENTIAL

The result so far trickling in shows that the trend is holding and that expectedly, the election is PDP's President Jonathan to lose. Unfortunately the crying general from Katsina State and CPC presidential candidate Muhammadu Buhari is already crying foul of election rigging. Icheoku wants Buhari to tell Nigeria the states he had hoped to actually win outside those in his sharia-catchment area of northwestern Nigeria. Where is the evidence since mere speculation and allegations are not enough to show that rigging took place. Anyway Nigerians are waiting and watching to see the final outcome of the election and Icheoku prays that the Imam will smarten up and read the handwriting on the wall that Nigerians have rejected his despotism. Icheoku like millions of other Nigerians is anxiously waiting for the final result tally and the concession speech of Imam Muhammadu Buhari.

BUHARI'S CANDIDACY, NIGERIANS SAY THANKS BUT NO, THANKS.

BUHARI THE BOOGIE-MAN, GONNA GET YOU!

 

Once again Icheoku is sending urgent message to Nigerian electorates - do not be an enabler or accomplice to Imam Muhammadu Buhari's mission of vengeance on Nigeria and Nigerians alike. Buhari is mean-hearted, lean and arguably emaciated; such men are dangerous and should not be entrusted with power. SAY NO TO BUHARI, DO NOT VOTE FOR HIM. HIS CANDIDACY IS TOXIC to the continuing existence of a secular Nigeria. Buhari is an Islamic extremist seeking to institute his brand of Sarafin purist religious ideals in Nigeria.

NORTH REJECTS BUHARI AND SO SHOULD YOU.

Icheoku says Imam Muhammadu Buhari has been rejected by his people, his primary constituency. The North reached a verdict on Buhari that he is too divisive, tribalized and bigoted to be president of Nigeria and they overwhelmingly rejected him and his party - the CPC at the polls. According to Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa State, the north by rejecting Buhari's ethnic and religious sentiments, voted for one united Nigeria. Icheoku urges the rest of other Nigerians to also reject Buhari as they cannot claim to know Buhari better than his own people. Nigerians should in unison join Buhari's people in chorusing 'NO TO BUHARI.' Buttressing his argument, Governor Lamido said, "what else can anyone say when Sokoto which is the home of Usman Dan Fodio, Kebbi the home of Abdullahi Fodio, Kano, Borno, Adamawa and other principalities which are the epitome of Islamic values have all gone the way of PDP" instead of Buhari's primordial ethnic party, the CPC? It shows one thing and one thing only - that BUHARI is a political reject in Nigeria and cannot win any free and fair presidential election in Nigeria. Buhari's people know him better than the rest of Nigerians and they have said that he is not good for a corporate Nigeria; so Nigerians now you know the futility of supporting an assured loser, Muhammadu Buhari, or even thinking about it. JUST SAY NO TO BUHARI, his candidacy is toxic to Nigeria's existence!

BUHARI, THE CRYING-GENERAL DESERVES NO SYMPATHY AS HE SHOWED NONE.

What a picture perfect of three anaemically 'lean and hungry-looking' men that must not be trusted with power in Nigeria because they are dangerous. Their planned mission of vengeance in Nigeria must be stopped cold before they tear the country apart. Look at Mallam El-Rufai (right) who after saying that Imam Muhammadu Buhari is too old to run and should make way for younger breed of politicians and even went as far as calling Buhari names, made a b-line and is now flying Buhari's flag for presidency. It shows that this little man has no conviction at all and is only in it for his own selfish interest and now still-birth ambition as Nigerians can never forgive him his support for this petulant dictator. El-Rufai is now yoked inseparably with Buhari and his deficits just like the other little man, Pastor Tunde Bakare (left) who deceived Nigerians with his activism only to later settle for a vice presidential run with Muhammadu Buhari; and this is despite the later's sordid record of gross inhumanity treatment to Nigerians.


If Tunde Bakare is really a man of God and a prophet, why did he not ask Buhari to apologize for killing those three innocent Nigerians and also saw the vision that Buhari CANNOT be elected president of Nigeria? Icheoku asks, what really moves these little people or is their Napoleon Bonaparte's syndrome so overwhelming that they now think themselves giants of Nigeria politics to influence anybody? Who does this former FCT minister El-Rufai think he is and what clout does he really command thinking his joining forces with brutal Buhari will change anything politically and he is not even personable. Look who is asking Nigerians to trust them and vote for their chief Imam, the crying mallam from Katsina State? What another pathetic case of an owl thinking himself an eagle just because it knows how to take flight; but unbeknownst to El-Rufai and other Buhari's entourage to lala-land, Nigerians know better and not even the tears of the Imam can deceive them this time around. Icheoku declares that Nigerians have tasted Buhari and their tongues are still sour and burnt - their experience was both nightmarish and torturous and cannot be relived again, NEVER AGAIN!


Icheoku says maybe Muhammadu Buhari should have spent more time explaining to Nigerians why he did what he did wrong during his first coming as a coup-plotting military head of state in 1983, instead of using the curtain of false tears to adumbrate on what he intend to do if given the opportunity. Only when hell freezes over! What a dreamer this Katsina army general is. Better still, instead of being a cry-baby, Buhari should have just manned-up and face his monkey by calling an open-season, no holds barred press conference, where he fully answers several burning questions on account of his stewardship as a military dictator. Thereafter he could have apologized for his sins against the people of Nigeria and asked for their forgiveness. Icheoku says that is the real 'STANDING UP' defined and not his fictitious prancing around valedictory address. By fully accounting for what he wickedly did wrong followed with a profuse apology, Nigerians may be in a better position to reconsider their loath of him and try to forgive him. This way, he could have spared himself those fake tears of a despised and frustrated dictator wanna-be Nigeria president. If only Buhari was contrite enough and admitted and apologized for his crimes against the humanity that inhabit Nigeria, he could have been saved from the ignominy of shedding useless tears on national television; afterall boys don't cry especially if that boy is a seventy year old retired army general from sharia Katsina State.


Instead of crying, may be Buhari should have taken responsibility for the parlous state of Nigeria,  a state brought about by series of military interventions and army men hopelessly misdirecting the ship of the Nigeria state; a curse of Nigeria, which Buhari triggered off in December 31 1983 when he overthrew a democratically elected government of President Shehu Shagari. May be Imam Muhammadu Buhari should have apologized for reintroducing military coups in Nigeria way back in 1983, giving rise to Babangida's copycat coup against Buhari himself as well as Abacha's coup against the interim government of Ernest Shonekan. It is also on record that most of the military coups in Nigeria, which collectively plunged Nigeria's fortunes aground, were all carried out by Buhari's people:- the counter-coup of April 1966, the Muritala Mohammed coup against genocidal Yakubu Gowon, Buhari's own coup against President Shagari, Ibrahm Babangida's coup against Buhari and the technical coup against MKO Abiola on June 12, 1993 and Abacha's coup against Ernest Shonekan. All of these criminal master-minds (yes coup is a crime) are from the same geographical area of northern Nigeria as Buhari and successively and respectively contributed to the malaise in Nigeria. So when Buhari says things are awry in Nigeria, he is sure definitely pointing the rest of his four fingers on both himself and his fellow northern compatriots conspiratory military coup-plotters.


For the length of period that military interregnums in Nigeria lasted, that length midwifed a Nigeria paralyzed,  through faulty incongruous fiscal and political policies of state, formulated by people trained to kill and destroy and who have no expertise in running a huge complexity like government. The result, so many experimentation with governance and economic road-maps gone awry such as Babangida's SAP. These military coup-plotters micro-managed every aspect of the polity and the economy forcing one to wonder what business school Buhari, Babangida and Abacha went to prepare them for management or even to appreciate the nitty-gritty involved, yet they called the shots anyway. Even Abacha was rumored to come to work whenever he please but always not earlier than 12.00noon and you wonder how a country can move on with such snail-speed managers running affairs of state. Buhari and his co-travelers in military coups watched Nigeria dither and tither to its present decaying state; it did not happen overnight, yet Imam Muhammadu Buhari has the effrontery to point fingers when he is supposed to be the one taking responsibilities for all that is wrong with Nigeria today since they are all traceable to his military coup of December 21, 1983.


Icheoku makes bold to say that were it not for Muhammadu Buhari's military coup against President Shehu Shagari government in December 1983 and the decimation of all that were on stream then such as the Lagos metro project among other things, may be by now in 2011, Nigeria would have lurched itself forward. Even the currently still stumbling politicians would have by now figured out what is wrong with Nigeria as well as possible solutions to fix them. These politicians would have since mastered the game and by now be playing it to advantage the populace and electorates. But no, thanks to Buhari's band of military adventurers who struck in 1983 and remained in power for too long; as a result, the center can no longer hold in Nigeria resulting in the near paralysis of the country today. Yet the same Buhari shamelessly wept for 'missed opportunities in Nigeria' when he threw the first curve ball and caused the quake which triggered the avalanche?


If Buhari were wise and articulate, he would have not shed a tear but  go down on his knees to ask Nigerians to forgive him for all his wrongdoings while a coup-plotting military head of state. But there he was, in all his Pharisee self-righteousness, beating his chest and proclaiming himself the Messiah that would have saved Nigeria if only Nigerians have not since rejected and declared him NOT WANTED in their Aso Rock. Instead of rehashing what he would do or planned to do, Buhari should have given an insight on his questionable inhuman actions while military head of state of Nigeria and thereafter ask for all bygones to be bygone in the interest of moving Nigeria forward; but his over bloated ego got in the way and made a golden opportunity slip. Buhari thought that by crying a river, he could cry a river big enough to wash away the memory of his mortal sins against millions of Nigerians, both dead and alive, and they would suddenly develop general amnesia that he once ran affairs in Nigeria.


In conclusion, Icheoku says that the crying general, Muhammadu Buhari, now also a fox, failed woefully in his attempt to borrow a page from America's Hillary Clinton's book of political manipulation by shedding tears, which she deployed in New Hampshire during her bitter 2008 Democratic Party's primaries fight of her life with then candidate Obama. Buhari's tears did not move anybody, not Icheoku and not millions of Nigerian electorates because they are not sincere nor genuine but a product of a very wicked vengeful mind and therefore meaningless. Morover Nigerians are not a wish-washy people and living in the land of tears, have seen so many tears to be moved by some fake cartoonish tears of Muhammadu Buhari. Buhari also forgot that what works in America does not often work in Nigeria and that at least, some people as live in New Hampshire like Hillary Clinton unlike the general Nigerians' aversion of his mean spirited self.  Finally, Nigerians should remember that Julius Caesar peradventure warned them against 'lean and hungry-looking men' such as Buhari - THEY ARE DANGEROUS; so be sane enough, DO NOT VOTE FOR BUHARI.

BOLA TINUBU, THE NEW AWOLOWO OF YORUBALAND?

Icheoku says at last, finally the sons and daughters of Oduduwa domiciled in Yorubaland, has a new leader, a generallisimo, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Oduduwaland; the man who has effectively stepped into the very big shoes left behind by Late Obafemi Awolowo. Ladies and gentle men of Nigeria, particularly in Yorubaland, please welcome the new Awolowo of the Yorubas, Atunwase Ahmed Bolaji Tinubu. Icheoku says he is indeed providing the leadership needed in Yorubaland and there is no point arguing with the truth or begrudging him for a job well done. Icheoku says congratulations ABT and Yoruba people, please enjoy your new leader!
