A few hours after President Goodluck Jonathan and ex-Head of State, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari took a swipe at former leaders, ex-Military President Ibrahim Babangida fired back.
He asked Dr. Jonathan to learn to accept criticisms and threatened to expose the “holier-than thou-attitude” of Gen. Buhari.
Gen. Babangida, who spoke through Prince Kassim Afegbua, his media adviser, reminded Gen. Buhari that those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
He also advised Dr. Jonathan to look elsewhere, not him, if he is blaming past leaders that are criticising him.
Kassim said: “On President Jonathan, there is nothing wrong in criticism if it is constructive and in the interest of the country. Gen. Babangida is one unique former President who does not criticise a sitting President as a matter of courtesy.
“If President Jonathan is blaming past leaders, he should look elsewhere, certainly not IBB.
“On Gen. Buhari, it is not in IBB’s tradition to take up issues with his colleague former President. But for the purpose of record, we are conversant with Gen. Buhari’s so-called holier-than-thou attitude.
“He is a one-time Minister of Petroleum and we have good records of his tenure as minister.
“Secondly, he also presided over the Petroleum Trust Fund ( PTF) which records we also have.
“We challenge him to come out with clean hands in those two portfolios he headed. Or, we will help him to expose his. “records of performance during those periods.”
“Those who live in glass houses do not throw stones. Gen. Buhari should be properly guided.”

ReplyDeleteMacjona don't mind d fools.their cups will soon get filled up and den there would be no going back 4 dem.all our politicians ar rogues,thieves n very selfish
ReplyDeletePocket comedy is unfolding. IBB has just thrown down the gage. Buhari, please fire another shot; I want to hear more. Any chink in your "pristine" armour?
ReplyDeleteThere cups will not full as far Nigeria is concern but it full beyond the brim on judgement day.
ReplyDeleteHei pal, dont call anyone fool! Okay ... its a sin, u aint there creator.
ReplyDeleteTinubu and Cohorts who are praise singing Buhari for their selfish political agenda of 2015 should please buy a pen and paper as expose 101 lecture is about to start. God bless IBB
ReplyDeleteBuhari should go and sleep.
ReplyDeleteSo going by d saying, "he dat lives in a glass house shld not throw stones", I sense an acceptance to d fact dat he's govt was corrupt as well as d other's govt. Well, I stand to prophesy now, dat, like Martin Luther King did, a day will come when the people will stand up & possess their possession. And everything dat was stolen from them, they will reclaim. Let the leaders keep stealing & storing up wealth, but soon they will realise that dey are no greater than God almighty. D day of reckoning is at hand.
ReplyDeleteFrom A-Z are all corrupt,I know change is coming in gradually.my only concern N prayers is that all those who are behind this political motivated Boko Haram will not go unpunish.as long as GOD remains a GOD of justice they sponsored this evil secretly but GOD will expose them openly.innocent blood has been spilled by this good for nothing evil men,I look forward to that day that GOD has set aside to punish them all.if Buhari is doing this for 2015 then let him have a rethink we have vibrant young men that can take this nation to greater hight not old men.
ReplyDeleteIBB, NA SHAKARA, YOU HAVE NOTHING ON BUHARI !
ReplyDeleteBy the way, IBB may be evil to some people, I resect him because he is not flippant. It was Idiagbon that ruled Nigeria during Buhari's regime. Beside, was Buhari qualified to rule Nigeria as at then? Which University did he attend? Rather, what qualification had he? Any Nigeria that feels that Buhari can make any difference now in the jet era world should defend it. Bihari should go to sleep. He should first clear himself of Boko Haram issue.
ReplyDeleteLet's stomach our cment nd alow ds tragi-comedy get 2 its climax.rmber obj vs IBB.nw buhari vs maradona.let all psmakrs step aside.w 're watchng d generals of uncontroled words.
ReplyDeleteTwo thiefs lamenting!!!

ReplyDeleteThey are all birds of the same feather, they should never think of contesting again. I think their Almajiris (Boko-Haram) are there to contest, selfish & greedy dogs.
ReplyDeleteWe Nigerian are easy to fool, A man just made statement that he that live in Glass......, If IBB really have something Buhari did let him say it out, IBB planted Corruption in a Larger scale and Obasanjo watered, it. This Men continue to say Buhari has record.. none of them have come out to say this is what the man stole like IBB and Obasanjo.... if any of us will still believe all this political lies just to tarnish some body image at this time of our political history, is either the person is not thinking or the person need more education, Nigerians are not thinking that is the reason will still count people like Babaginda as relevant.. Buhari is the only head of state in Nigeria without foreign account or who has not stolen
ReplyDeleteThere is no reason for not exposing Buhari . Stop shakara and let Nigerians know what they dont about BUHARI.
ReplyDeleteAbraham you are such a frank writer, am yet to believe that people still think along d line of IBB & OBJ. Buhari as usual have been accused by this zealots and yet they refuse to bring out d facts and yet some peoples still praise sing them. i dont know when Nigeria and especially d so called educated ones who face the fact. imagine some one saying which education qualification buhari has. but i dont know if he know much about the history of the country past leaders, who among of them when to university b4 bcoming the president and nw the president we have now is a PHD holder but can not perform. if really buhari is corrupt as they want us to believe, why did Abacha invited him to help him gives credence to his govt.let us all be sincere and face reality pls.
ReplyDeletelesser evil vs Bigger evil. what i know is that my prayers will not go in vein. All workers of iniquity must be punished. My father my father, turn them against themselves. they will drink their own blood and eat their own flesh.Ammmen!!
ReplyDeletePls, arewa let us respect ourself
ReplyDeletePart one of IBB vs Buhari!! If u miss it pls go to alaba market, for the full details ask obino!! Grab ur copy now!!
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, these two fools still aspire to rule Nigeria again
ReplyDeleteBuhari has thrown d first stone pls throw own if u hv anything against Buhari. Gap-toothed evil. The money u hv amassed for urself will soon become Nigeria's money, u can mark my word.
ReplyDeleteI'd love it if they exposed each other... then we'll know if IBB is truly the father of corruption in Nigeria, or maybe Buhari.
ReplyDeleteShameless Babangida, are you not the one who legalized corruption in Nigeria? From time in memorial you have always been known for your self defense. All I know God will catch you one day.
ReplyDeleteShame on them all....whether it was Buhari or Idiagbon that led tha purposeful and gocused regime isnot the issue. Can we all be honest enough to compare the two regimes on the basis of transparency and accountability and decide which of the two was truly people oriented? Sentiments should not becloud our sense of rwasoning,we should not be fooled by maradonna and the Otta Gods of corruption anymore. God save us from their spent and diminished vision as we search for lasting solutions to our many problems. If they have no solutions, they should all bury their hesds in shame because they were all part of the problem.
ReplyDeleteInstead of you to put your rivalries aside and put your heads together to give focus and leadership towards salvaging the dying North , you are dessipating your energy on commical blame games and entertaining those who are working hard to break us further while consolidate their geopliticsl strategies for greatness. What a shame . "Ahmadu ya wuce har yau ba mai canji nai" as the singer Dankwairo predicted, the vacum left by Sardauna is yet to be filled.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ojo. Buhari is a saint compaired to others. Apart from being a religous fanatic he is the best head of state Nigeria ever had. He is not corrupt like others. IBB hav nothing to say. He killed this country and should keep quite.
ReplyDeleteone thing that i know for sure is that GOD is not sleeping, at the fullness of time,He will manifest Himself.You must examine yourself first and be sure that in your own jurisdiction, you are not corrupt before throwing stones on the leaders.Just do the right thing, pray for this nation and leave judgement for GOD.
ReplyDeleteOur God is watching all the so call past leaders if D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ don't repent the anger of God would be upon all U̶̲̥̅̊..
