President Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation has said there is no evidence linking a former Head of State who is also the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), with the Boko Haram sect.
The spokesperson for the organisation, Chief Femi Fani kayode, stated this at the maiden press briefing of the organisation in Abuja on Wednesday.
But he said that because of the alleged anger shown by the APC when the sect was proscribed by the Federal Government, the APC might be in support of the group.
“But the APC has spoken against the proscription of the Boko Haram and if they take over, they might lift the ban on the sect.”
He said the Federal Government could not arraign people on the issue of Boko Haram without sufficient evidence to prosecute such persons.
Fani-Kayode also said the allegation against former Borno State Governor Ali Modu-Sheriff as sponsor of Boko Haram remained unproven because there had been no evidence to prove he was culpable.
He said, “This government is not in the habit of arraigning people when there is no hard evidence; it does not convict people on the pages of newspapers.
“You don’t convict people based on what the opposition is telling you. You convict people on the basis of evidence and the court convicts people, not government. If you have issues about that ask the court.”
He dismissed the call by the opposition for the prosecution of Modu-Sherrif without evidence, wondering why they did not make the same call when the ex-governor was with the APC.
The former governor was a member of the APC before he defected to the ruling Peoples Democratic Party few months ago.
On Buhari’s candidacy, Fani-Kayode said that the February 14 presidential election would be a battle for the very soul and destiny of Nigeria, insisting that the former head of state was not a match for Jonathan.
He said, “We believe that it is a struggle between light and darkness. We believe that Buhari represents the darkness and that President Jonathan represents the light.
“We believe that Buhari represents a return to an ugly past, which is best forgotten while President Jonathan represents our hope for a greater and better future.”
He said that the APC represented everything “that is unholy and unwholesome in our society and that the PDP represents all that is decent and good.”
Fani-Kayode said that the the “change” campaign of Buhari represented nothing but a change from good to evil, adding that there was no way a positive change would come from a man like Buhari whose democratic credentials, he said, remained questionable.
The former Minister of Aviation under former President Olusegun Obasanjo said that most people did not remember the atrocities Buhari allegedly committed when he was in power, but said his committee would document them and remind Nigerians about them.
He said, “Most people have chosen to ignore the number of things that General Buhari has said and the number of things that he has done over the last few months and years that have brought carnage, division and strife in our society and that prove that he is not the sort of person that can be trusted with power.

Further to this are previous write-ups by buhari supporting and condemning the killing of buhari and nomination of Buhari to represent them before the Fed Govt.

THE NATION REPORT: Boko Haram Backs Buhari For Presidency
ReplyDelete23 hours ago 0 Comments
Boko.buhari
Lagos (The Nation) - The presidential candidate of the All Progressives’ Congress (APC), Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), on Tuesday gained an unusual support as the Islamic Terrorist group in the Northeast, Boko Haram, pledged its total support for the former military ruler.
Boko Haram, in a lengthy press statement circulated through email by its spokesperson and a copy made available to The Nation Newspaper, Abubakar Shekau, anchored its decision on the need to deliver Nigeria, especially the northern region, from the crunching effects of poverty, underdevelopment and insecurity.
It also lamented the unconcerned attitude of the President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration at the unrelenting degradation of the northern region environment, taking a hard stance also on the increasing insecurity in the northeast.
President Jonathan, according to Boko Haram, does not deserve a second term in office.
The Islamic terrorist group also commended Buhari for proposing to stabilize the oil market and scrap the office of the First Lady – which it considered to be a drain on the nation’s resources and a conduit through which corrupt government officials stole across all levels of government.
It said, “Boko Haram has, upon careful consideration of the state of the nation, endorses and fully supports the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Gen. Mohammadu Buhari.
“Our decision to throw our full support on Gen. Mohammadu Buhari stems from the pathetic state in which the country has been put by the government of Goodluck Jonathan and our strong believe in Buhari as the man and change the country needs.
Boko Haram Endorsement of Buhari continues.......
ReplyDelete“We have been putting our trust in Gen. Mohammadu Buhari as our spiritual leader to show us direction. This was one of the reasons we nominated him as our mediator, but as usual, President Jonathan rejected this wonderful proposal.”
“We urge every Nigerian to vote for APC and Gen. Mohammadu Buhari. He is the only person that can end this disease in Nigeria called corruption. As a human being, we are aware that he made several mistakes in the past such as ruling for 2 years as a Head of State without a legacy or a single project to his name and government. He also jailed innocent Nigerians such as Alex Ekwueme, Ambrose Alli, Tai Solarin, Sam Mbakwe, Jim Nwobodo etc. He also used retrogressive laws to kill Nigerians and clamped down on the Press – where Journalists were jailed. Anybody can make these mistakes. He is not God that can’t make mistake.
Buhari is the right man for the top job especially for us northerners because he will develop our region for good, not this ‘cosmetic development’ being executed by Jonathan. As a PTF Chairman, Buhari executed 80% of the projects in the north – which show that he has the interest of his people at heart. Buhari and Abacha also made sure that the north benefited from the sharing the national cake. Due to Buhari’s love for his people, Alhaji Shehu Shagari was not jailed but his Vice, Dr. Alex Ekwueme was sent to Kirikiri maximum prison. Buhari also didn’t touch our brother, Ibrahim Awwal – who was caught at Heathrow airport London, with 14 million pounds. These are the things that make us to love Buhari. He has our interest at heart.
“Under Buhari’s watch, N25 billion disappeared from PTF accounts and found its way into the pockets of our brothers in the north. Abacha also freely shared the Nigeria’s resources with our people and Transparency International was jealous as they listed Nigeria as the most corrupt country in the world in that period. This is just pure jealousy and envy. Abacha never stole money, even Buhari can attest to this.”
“Our main reason of supporting Buhari is because he’s a typical example of what we’re preaching: ‘Western education is sinful.’ This, he has demonstrated as no single educational qualification can be traced to his name, yet he reached the apex of his military career and ruled the country. Is this not a proof that Western education is bullshit? A man without a certificate ruled the country and wants to rule it again, yet those with numerous certificates can’t even head their local government. We want to use this medium to warn those that have been asking for Buhari’s certificate to stop it or be bombed by Boko Haram.”
“Finally, every Muslim loves to live in an Islamic State, so we urge Muslims to vote for Buhari in en masse. He is the only man that can Islamize Nigeria where Muslims would live happily. He has been advocating for this since 2001 where he openly said he would keep on supporting the spread of Sharia across Nigeria. Which other proof do you Muslims need to vote for Buhari so that we can live peacefully in the Islamic State he would soon create?”
GEJ all the way to 2019.
ReplyDeleteSmart guy, preparing for evil day.
ReplyDeletejust listen to a wise fool who waisted his or her time to make us believe that they Boko haram now endorses Buhari, my God people no longer bring up a tactical way of convincing there fellow human , they just sat down and think of lies and stupid mind games to play don't be surprised that this person that came up with this is the same guy that wrote the later to obasanjo claiming he is Iyabo Obasanjo from USA. try hard bro we are no fools anymore.
ReplyDeleteKubiben SA
If GEJ and his govt believe that Buhari owns boko haram then they should smash it instead of giving excuses. Nigerians don't want a C-in-C who indulges in ceaseless buck, passing .
ReplyDeletePDP is afraid of the wave of change. No matter the campaign of calumny against GMB Nigerians will continue to support and vote for him because he represents light against darkness. This is not about ethnicity, religion but integrity and national development.
ReplyDeleteWho is the fool telling us boko aram has decleared their support for Buhari,are you their member?,if not how do know?,was it discuss in ur meeting?,pls stop this stupid write-up
