APC is Planning to Rig the February General Election - former president of Nigeria Cries Out
The former president of Nigeria Proff. Olusegun Obasanjo who ruled from 1990 -2007 has express his feeling towards the General Election which will come on February. And how APC planned to Rig the Election .Nigerians need to have listened to the current
Warning dirges of former president and
Retired military standard, leader Olusegun
Obasanjo and his former compatriot inside the
Military, former chief of navy team of workers and one-
Time minister of defence in his (Obasanjo’s)
Authorities, standard Theophilus Yakubu
Danjuma (retd.)
Reputedly, prudence is at paintings here. They
Have not pointedly accused Buhari of
Masterminding the alleged plot. The overall
Glide is that some management officers
Have perfected plans to use the institutions
And companies of the state to manipulate the
System for you to confer undue gain
On Buhari. And this is wherein the test of
Integrity can and should be ascertained.
Buhari has been reputed to be a man of
Integrity.
The question is: despite the fact that he isn't always privy to
Plot to allegedly rig the election to favour
Him, has his body language no longer suggested
To his officials that he is in pari materia
With the idea and will, consequently, now not mind it,
Supplied no person increases the issue with him?
Some other question is: does that pretence or
Hypocrisy accord with the character of
Integrity? Yet every other query: does Buhari
Have the weight of man or woman to look
Chicanery within the eyes and declare: “to hell
With you!”?
Additionally examine: Presidential Rally: Buhari’s
Subsequent stage train Arrives In Abakaliki
Can he then go ahead to reject the final results
Of a flawed, manipulated method that
Produces him as winner? Responses inside the
Affirmative are the stuff that integrity is
Made of. Buhari should have helped
Himself by constantly reining in his
Administration officials now not to be birthday party to a
Negotiated presidential electoral procedure and
Outcome. He would have doused anxiety and
Anxieties if he had determined to repeat verbal
Exhortations, as former President Goodluck
Jonathan did, that his re-election isn't always a
Do-or-die affair and that it isn't always worth the
Blood of any Nigerian.
In reality, the interventionist position via the
Countrywide Peace Committee, headed through
Former Head of country, wellknown Abdulsalami
Alhaji Abubakar in making sure that the
Electioneering and electoral method are
Peaceful, obvious, credible and
Suited to all stakeholders would have
Just been merely salutary. The committee
Could not want to influence winner and
Losers to simply accept the outcome, as soon as the
Manner was suited to all.
I don't forget a communication that I had with
Former Chairman of Arewa Consultative
Forum, ACF, and one-time permanent
Secretary within the Ministries of inner Affairs
And Petroleum resources, the late chief
Sunday Bolorunduro Awoniyi in 2002, about
The significance of transparency and
Credibility of electoral system. He advised me
About how he reined in his supporters inside the
Unwell-fated third Republic whilst he contested
At the platform of the national Republican
Convention, NRC, for the Kogi West
Senatorial seat, no longer to rig the system in his
Favour with a hazard that if he observed
That the technique changed into rigged, he could reject
His victory as incorrect.
The communication had a context to it. It changed into
At the time standard Muhammadu Buhari had
Indicated hobby in contesting the
Presidential election at the All Peoples
Birthday party ,APP, platform in 2003. Awoniyi and
Buhari have been pals. In fact, Awoniyi turned into
Permanent secretary in the Ministry of
Petroleum sources on the time Buhari become
Federal commissioner in fee of the
Ministry. He spoke approximately how, beneath their
Watch, they negotiated the charges of principal
Contracts downwards and rebuffed overtures
By foreign businesses to pay the quantity
Negotiated off the contracts into their
Private overseas accounts.
In essence, Buhari had come fantastically
Recommended to me and that i don't forget casting
My vote for him in the 2003 presidential
Election. His integrity credential seemed
Writ big. That turned into also good sized within the
National aid he loved in the 2015
Presidential election wherein he defeated an
Incumbent president. Despite the fact that, the problem
Currently isn't always an awful lot of recognition, yet we
Are in a situation in which, fairly, the
Index of performance is greater or less the
Figuring out element.

Interestingly, opposition factors have
Persisted to harangue Buhari in a bid to
Deny him of his integrity capital as well as
To bargain his declare of performance in
Workplace. Expectedly, Buhari, his sponsoring
Party – the All Progressives Congress, APC,
And his administration officers have no longer
Relented in pushing into the public domain

Understandably maximum vociferous in its
Criticisms, the selection via Obasanjo and
Danjuma to lend their voices to the process
Of alerting Nigerians to the alleged rigging
Plot has truely raised the stakes and
Heightened anxieties inside the polity. The reality
That Obasanjo, especially, made the
Allegation need to not be taken lightly,
Especially if it changed into true and not for the
Promoting of a few mischief.
Notably, Obasanjo became as soon as in the
Saddle as president and he knew what he
Did to win re-election in 2003. And, if what
He did in 2003 changed into limited, the 2007
Purported unrestrained manipulation of the
Election that produced Umaru Musa
Yar’Adua as president has persisted to
Question his ethical authority to rail in opposition to
The problem of rigging, not to mention pointing a
Finger of guilt on the Buhari management.
It is just like the proverbial dictum and
Rationalisation that it is simplest the thief that
Is aware of the course of some other thief on the
Rock. To that extent, if there is sincerely a
Plot to rig, then with the gain of
Hindsight, Obasanjo’s decision to raise the
Alarm need to be quite instructive in order that
Nigerians can take important positive
Actions to ensure that their votes matter.
But if the alarm was motivated through intended
Mischief, the onus is at the Buhari
Management and institutions accountable
For undertaking the election to show that
They are above reproach, like Caesar’s wife.
However, the Danjuma angle is what
Appears to have particularly reinforced the
Purported rigging plot. It has given the
Allegation a few degree of gravitas.
Having now not been overtly political and having
Now not been recognized to be flippant, the alarm by using
The reserved standard is on the idea of his
Antecedents distinguishable from
Obasanjo’s.
As it is a majority of Nigerians are
Concerned approximately the convergence of the
Inclinations, anxieties and claims expressed
By these reputable and influential generals
On the theme of alleged rigging plot within the
Scheduled February sixteen presidential election.
For you to bolster the integrity of, in
Particular, the presidential electoral technique
And the outcome, all home and
Worldwide stakeholders ought to be on their
Toes to compel compliance with due
Process. Perhaps, this is the essence of the
Obasanjo and Danjuma’s clarion requires
Everlasting vigilance, that is the price of liberty
