A former Head of State, Maj-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari( retd.), has decried the attempt by the Peoples Democratic Party to “demonise” the leaders of the All Progressives Congress as religious bigots.
The former Head of State noted that it was unpatriotic , evil and beyond acceptable political rhetoric for the PDP to foment religious disharmony among Nigerians.
While stressing that the APC never looked at Nigerians as Christians or Muslims, Buhari, who was also presidential candidate for the defunct Congress for Progressive Change, urged Nigerians to maintain strict vigilance against any attempt to subvert the peace and unity of the country.
He added that no matter the antics of the ruling party, “the PDP’s death-knell has sounded, and it will end, just as it began, in tragedy.”
The former military leader wrote on his Facebook wall, “The attempt by the PDP to foment religious disharmony among Nigerians is unpatriotic, evil and beyond acceptable political rhetoric.
“We in the APC never look at Nigerians as Christians or Muslims, southerners or northerners; because, the bad leadership we fight against, the corruption we strongly oppose, and the widespread poverty we painfully lament affect all Nigerians, irrespective of tribe, religion or geography.
“The fact that a ruling party can resort to acting in ways detrimental to national security portrays a party on its last gasp of political relevance and ever willing to plunge Nigeria into sectarian chaos in order to conceal its crimes within the debris of a nation-wide anarchy.
“No matter how it tries, the PDP’s death-knell has sounded, and it will end, just as it began – in tragedy.
“We call on all Nigerian men and women to rise against this malicious misrepresentation and maintain strict vigilance against any attempt to subvert the peace and unity of this country.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Majority of Nigerians are Brain washed by some of our politicians, interms of religion, tribalism and others. Let Me tell you must of our leaders e.g gej has no any religion issue in his mind, he is just using religion to campaign. So pls let us not continue to be deceiving ourselves
ReplyDeletefor them, let us elect a leader that will serve us not d one dat we will serve. Let is do dis for d future generation
Gen M Buhari wants to become president at all cost.let me advice him this is democracy we are talking about not military come to think of it a General who was overthrown without a short what can he do in a democratic setting.please tell Gen Buhari to go and rest who is more religious than buhari no one
ReplyDeleteBuhari pls go, rest and think for a while! Stop bringing up issues dt would destroy ds noble country. Besides u are old, retired and shld take ur eyes off our politics. U are strongly behind d unredt we are undergoing today. Better use ur tongue t count ur teeth. Allow God t use d youths t give us something better.
ReplyDeleteThe truth is that(even thou we love APC) we are not too comfortable with the composition of the party's leadership. It remind us of Buhari/Idiagbon government .
ReplyDeleteMallam Buhari! Sorry U no go be President for a democratic 9ja. Mumu malo!
ReplyDeleteSir with due respect to you as one time President, this is Democracy game of the Majority. If thea majority of Nigerians gives the mandate to APC fine and if they give it to PDP we should all accept it in good faith. Besides, its the old PDP members that are spearheading the APC so how do you intend to bring the change? If an APC controlled state conduct a Local Government Election you will discovered that all the positions will be won by APC likewise PDP controlled states. So, who are we deceiving? We should judge our concious and tell Nigerians the TRUTH.
ReplyDeleteI just want to say the corruption,poverty,insecurity and all the issues you claim you will solve did not start in GEJ's time. For God's sake all you people should go and rest and let the youth take over. You keep saying we are the leaders of tomorrow but a 70year old man will still be in d office and not want to retire while a 30-40 year old young man and woman will be at home looking for a means to survive. Enough is enough u old people.
ReplyDeleteGod will elect for us come 2015 not matter all this your campaign and all.
