Buhari, not the saviour Nigeria has been waiting for

DR. Frederick Fasehun, National Chairman, Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN), has told Nigerians that General Muhammadu Buhari is not the saviour Nigeria has been waiting for, stressing that Buhari was the cause of terrorism in Nigeria.

Speaking to journalists today, at Okota, Lagos State, Fasehun said: “General Buhari has often been painted as the Messiah Nigerians have been waiting for. This is turning truth and logic on the head. For the avoidance of doubt, General Muhammadu Buhari is not the saviour Nigeria has been waiting for. The truth is that under Buhari’s “Holier-Than-Thou” facade lurks a smelly throat of evil.”

He noted that Nigerians should not forgive and forget people who deliberately scripted the misfortune of their own nation.

His words: “The problem of Nigeria is not our politics but the fact that we forget too soon. We feel the pain of our flagellation just at the time we are being floored. Afterward, we go about as if nothing has happened in our history. Today, Nigeria staggers under a weight of insurgency and terrorism that is very alien to our ethnic and national character. And we have some do-or-die politicians to thank for this. Insurgency and terrorism descended on Nigerians in the wake of the 2011 elections, after politicians of a particular coloration swore to make the country “ungovernable” should they lose the polls. When Nigerians massively rejected these politicians at the polls, these bad losers made good their threats and unleashed the dogs of war through the North-Eastern part of the country. Since then, Nigeria has become one massive killing field with an internally-displaced population of over 3 million. Shall we cow before those who have brought this tragic and catastrophic atmosphere upon us and reward them with the presidency?”

Fasehun insisted that instead of standing for election, Buhari should in fact be standing trial before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for crimes against humanity over the killing of thousands of Nigerians in the ongoing insurgency and terrorism instigated by him and his supporters.
