PDP Boko Haram: Before they kill Buhari and Brew Another Civil War by Obinna Akukwe

Yesterday there was an attempt by suicide bombers to kill the main opposition leader to President Goodluck Jonathan’s government in the person of Muhammadu Buhari. The suicide bomber was trailing the convoy of Buhari for a while and deliberately rammed into his convoy, spreading bloodshed at Kawo junction in Kaduna. By the grace of God and the help of Isa Al-Masihu (Jesus the son of God), though the jeep he was riding on was affected by the blast, he was not hurt. Some of his aides are seriously wounded and in the hospital. 

Buhari in a statement issued yesterday called it an assassination attempt. According to him “I was personally involved in a clearly targeted bomb attack today along Ali Akilu Road, Kawo-Kaduna at about 2:30pm on my way to Daura,” Mr. Buhari said.
“The unfortunate event, clearly an assassination attempt, came from a fast moving vehicle that made many attempts to overtake my security car but was blocked by my escort vehicle.
“We reached the market area of Kawo where he took advantage of our slowing down and attempted to ram my car and instantly detonated the bomb which destroyed all the three cars in our convoy,” Mr. Buhari said.
The former leader said when he came down from his vehicle, he saw many dead bodies littered around.
“They were innocent people going about their daily business who became victims of mass murder,” he said.

PDP branch of Boko Haram simply wants to kill Buhari because his political profile in the North has refused to diminish. All the attempts by the clueless and corrupt PDP regime which budgeted and embezzled over four trillion naira  ($25 billion dollars) in four years meant for security  while rescuing over 250 Chibok Christian girls from the hands of Boko Haram is a mirage, to tarnish the image of Buhari had failed woefully. This obfuscately corrupt PDP which turned Boko Haram into a multi-billion dollar corrupt enrichment programme, instead of exposing the sponsors of Boko Haram, tagged Buhari , Atiku and some northern governors sponsors of Boko Haram in a political propaganda towards 2015 elections. They have failed to prove that the opposition is behind Boko Haram and taken solace in presidential mudslinging while they are the real sponsors of terrorism.

Most senior citizen interrogated on the behalf of Boko Haram all happen to be of the ruling PDP. Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, founder of Boko Haram,  is now a member of PDP, the day he joined the party, Maidugeri Airport, closed for over two years, was opened for his use, and closed again after his ceremonial decamping into the party  Senator Ali Ndume, another PDP member, was dragged to court by Nigeria’s secret police because he was romancing with Boko Haram members. In his affidavit before a Nigerian High Court the senator claimed that the Vice President of Nigeria authorized him to be kissing Boko Haram members. In his 24 paragraph affidavit Senator Ndume averred that  “The Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency Namadi Sambo, is also aware that he was in contact with the Jammatul Sunnah Walid Jihad (otherwise known as ‘Boko Haram’).”

Senator Sanni Yerimah, the man who introduced Sharia law into Nigeria as Governor of Zamfara State, an activity that led to the formation of Boko Haram, is now a key sponsor and financier of PDP and the list continues.

Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan had told Nigerians in January 2012 at an inter-denominational church service that Boko Haram sponsors are in his government. The president even expressed fear that they could bomb or kill him anytime. According to President Jonathan,” Some continue to dip their hands and eat with you and you won’t even know the person who will point a gun at you or plant a bomb behind your house” He also said that  “Some of them are in the executive arm of government, some of them are in the parliamentary/legislative arm of government, while some of them are even in the judiciary”. This president left these people dining with him in the ruling party and continuously accuses Buhari and opposition figures of being behind insecurity in Nigeria.

Few months after Jonathan’s statement, his National Security Adviser, Lt Gen Owoiye Azazi at a conference in Asaba, capital of oil rich Delta State, told an audience that Boko Haram sponsors are in the PDP. According to Azazi “The issue of violence did not increase in Nigeria until when there was a declaration by the current president that he was going to contest. PDP got it wrong from the beginning. The party started by saying Mr. A can rule, and Mr. B cannot rule, according to PDP conventions, rules and regulations and not according to the constitution. That created the climate for what is happening or manifesting itself in country.”
Few months later Azazi was sacked and when he failed to go home to enjoy his own share of the national cake, preferring to pock nose on security matters, he was killed in an helicopter accident while attending the burial of the father of the president’s aide.

Buhari has been a thorn in the flesh of the ruling party. His anti corruption stance and his rising popularity in the core north is a headache Jonathan’s men cannot subside. The ruling party had succeeded in tagging him a terrorist sponsor and that theory has succeeded only in the South East and South South and parts of the middle belt while the rest of Nigeria knows better. Therefore it is logical to assume that best option is to eliminate him. This they tried and it has failed woefully.

It is obvious that the ruling PDP wants to turn Christians against Muslims in Nigeria, and turning Northerners against southerners in Nigeria by trying to kill Buhari. If Buhari had been assassinated, the northerners will abandon the PDP Boko Haram members among their people and descend on Igbo businessmen and women and slaughter them in their tens of thousands, the Igbos will in turn slaughter back some northerners and another civil war will start. In the event of a Buhari assassination, Muslims will rise up against Christians in anger and Christians will respond promptly, leading to another religious conflict in Africa’s most populous nation. These people in PDP do not know the implications of what they are doing until they drag innocent, unsuspecting impoverished Nigerians harangued by government inflicted poverty into unnecessary bloodshed.

It has been proven from this attack which consumed over ninety lives, of which Buhari could have been among, that the ruling PDP is sponsoring Boko Haram. Goodluck Jonathan had better fish out his party members from the north who are behind Boko Haram, because one day, those same people will try the Buhari treatment on him.  I have always known that Boko Haram sponsors are in PDP as early as 2011, from information gleaned from reliable sources, local and international, and had always voiced it out in print and other forums where I have opportunity to address people. I am not a politician but have hundreds of highly placed friend in offices who always tell me the truth and those of them in the inner caucus of the PDP knows that Buhari is not what theyhave tagged him, however, maligning him for political purposes is very expedient. However, this desperate attempt by the Boko Haram members in PDP to kill Buhari so brazenly is an act that should be condemned by all lovers of peace and truth before the consequences destroys the country.

Its quite obvious the alleged assassination attempt on Buhari’s life is stage managed.knowing d security situation in d North d convoy of Buhari observed a speeding ciena bus towards their convoy and they didn’t do anything till it rammed into d convoy!Nigerians are not fools and this pathetic writer who doesn’t have a clue of wats going is just confusing himself we are aware dat dis write up is paid 4 by d apc.let them continue fooling themselves come 2015 GEJ will be massively voted into office again 4 another 4 yrs and by then apc and all its Boko Haram sponsors must have been exposed.Long live Nigeria,long live GEJ

  3. I don’t know how much they paid d animal obinna or wateva. But 1 thing is clear,if buhari looses d election again dis time I blive he shld just retire,if he likE let him kill d whole innocent Nigerians and even kill more in a drama dat will look as if he is been targeted,he cannot be my president. Thank God dat Nigerians already know d truth n we ar waiting.

  4. Mr. Obina sir, you have just spoken d heart of d majority of this country. Mr. GEJ should knw that his days are numbered in Aso rock. GEJ has always been green snake under d grass type. He just pretend too much! The worst Nigeria president ever!!!

  5. Obinna mst be a useless man,knowing fully well hw many souls we hav lost to dis dreaded,idiot boko haram,if Buhari shld contest against Jonathan he wl still nt win,after 2015 election let him dclare total war,he wl be consume by d fire of d holy spirit.

  6. @joe and obinakwe or what did you call yourself, saddenly it’s a pity that despite the degree of your race exposure,education,and civilisation,your ‘predatory-race’ has been known and earmarked of ‘shielding-immoral conduct and corruption’ for the sake of ‘race-brethren’ no wonder your representative flouriching in corruption shielding,stella oduah is the epitome of the above, which obviously one of the key that bane the nation economic growth. Vividly, ghost man avers that killings of innocent citizens rises up immediately the declaration of second term ambition brewed up and asserts that only if this motion is dispelled could stop the bloodshedding of innocent souls of the citizen. Evidently, the’Rome of Temple’ that builts by past heroes seem to become history by your ‘inept;clueless,poltical-clout,power-preponderance,gullible-leader,first ever partizan and bigotry president!’ in furtherance,his(Gej) tenure brews up ‘religions-war’ within her inhabitants for the first time since it predatory existence, yet you(Indigbo Ohaneze)people only fonds of ‘nip your kins corruptions issues,in the bud!’

  7. Bimbo or bingo or wateva. Why u are a fool 2 hav said dat d foolish obinna has said d minds of Nigerians was dat u ar blind 2 see dat a simple poll here now shows dat out of all d comments here,u are d only odd. And dat is how 2015 will be. D worst mistake Tinubu(ACN) made was d merger with CPC which gave birth to APC who can do anything 2 have d power,and am sure he will be regreting it now cos ACN had good reputation. Thank God dat good headed Nigerians knows d truth

  8. The writer of this article is suffering from under-employment. I stoutly believe that, he just got employed to simply write rubbish against the Jonathan led government. The truth is, if Buhari had died yesterday, they wouldn’t have be any civil war, but rather, civil jubilations. Someday, you had got to taste your own bitter pill you know. Long live Southern Republic of Nigeria, long live President Goodluck Jonathan.

  9. Common sense is what most nigerians lack!for crying out loud so many have died under gej regime! Notin seems to be working in the country:unemployment on the increase,no electricity,no security,and others!but yet some suffering and smiling goats and fools still want him to come 2015!why don’t we as a normal human being call for change?is it only pdp that will rule us 4ever?pls let’s apply common sense!it doesn’t mean whether d next pres is frm north or south we need change let’s power change hand

  10. Buhari is just acting film with people’s life only to create bad record about one man GEJ,but he buhari should know that nigerians can not be fooled.the blast that killed many didnot hurt him or destroy his car,is he a spirit.he should stop playing smart game on nigerians,long live GEJ long live Nigeria.

  11. It really amazes me how some educated illitrates analyses issue of national importance such as dis one. have we 4gotten so soon d nagative remarks buhari made b4 he lost d 2011 election, n how hudlums in d north who metamephosed to bh cashed in on his black speech and av continued to cus mayhem to dis present day? as if dat wsn’t enough, many nig called on buhari as an elder statesman 2 condemn dis dastardly act then bt it took him more dan 2yrs to speak, n dat was wen he saw d monstar comming 4 him. by dis time many inno hs lost their lives. he did nt stop there, almost all his public speeches ar inflamatory. wht he fail to realise is, anyone dat builds a monstar must be ready bcus same monstar must return 2 hunt him. as 4 nigerians, we ar 2 impatient. i agree theres pain in d land hwever, dis pain is unlike pains of d past, we need dis suffering if we must be emancipated eventualy. he who must plug a rose must be prepared to endure thurns. gej will never be 4gotten as d best president nig ever had.

  12. Its so funny to hear some idiot’s analysis of what is happening right now. How can u not understand that APC is behind boko monkeys? What happened yesterday, is it not clear that it was stage managed? Can’t you see Buhari is trying to wade the minds and suspicions of Nigerians off himself? Buhari stage managed that event. It is only a fool that will think that a bomb target was missed by bokoharam trained professionals. The only thing that pains me is that he didn’t even think or bother that innocent nigerians will be killed. Another thing that baffles me is how Buhari cannot see that all he is doing is the more creating hatred from a continuously increasing people of Nigeria. But, lol, dat guy mumu o I never see. He is truly a complete Nama.

  13. Its. Very unfuretunate that we have Henry and joe as nigerians citizez who are blind and out there centment and there stupidity dat u can see what is writing b4 talking rash dis guy is not apc or is niether pdp is just facing fact and wanted to make peace, anyway i don’t blame u guys wen most of u don’t know ur right from wrong so sorry for our futre in dis country wen d so called youth can even think straight instead u are making comment.i know God will bring peace and save us from dis so called lunatic leaders amen.be statesman not politicians,pls friend and family let us stop blamimg our self for what we don’t see or witness our own eye dat buari is boko haram.i don’t paray for war again in dis Country if d target was successful yesterday sure all nigerians will be in panic now cos our innocent brother will crying and running for there lives, for me i know Nothing last 4ever and God will deliver who ever Boko Haram to our Hand in Jesus name amen.

  14. When will APC ever learn? All they do is complain,instigate,false accusations jus 2 attract public sympthy.. If APC tinks GEJ is nt doin well dey shud tell us what dey can do na instead of all dis old school pattern. They can never win election wit dis pattern..

  15. Sad! Sad! and Sad!
    This is braven hypocrisy, sentiment, tribal jingoists and bastardly divided people.

    i weep when i read comments from Nigerians and i can see divisions along ethnic/religious lines, we don’t even know our right from our left, we are perverts in reasoning and comments, we know the hidden and the apparent in as much it involves someone we ascribed as “ours”, whether he is good or bad and paint others “evil” whether good or fair.

    please, i am not here to take sides just like most of us but rather to re-awaken us from our slumber and cancerous parochialism which if not checkmated, will take Nigeria to the cleaners and brew another South Sudan.

    what do we gain from war mongering, the West are hell bent on unification through Euro Zone while we are here towing the path of destruction as seen in Sudan, Rwanda, Sierraleone, Liberia and recently Libya.

    wake up people and let us fight our common enemies “politicians” who loot us dry and display their opulence with impunity and here we are, claiming “brotherhood”, cancerous one for that matter.

    whether PDP or APC, is there any difference, whether Jonathan/Tinubu/Sheriff/Gulak/Dieziani/Mbu/Amaechi/Amosun/Orji/Nyako/fashola etc, where are the ideologies, where is the finesse, what have they got to offer Nigerians from the East, West, North or South.

    i pity and feel bereft when comments like these are made. we are chasing shadows and abandoning our enemies in power, my brother , your brother who have looted and over looted, leaving you, I and generations yet unborn in penury.

    God Bless Nigeria, and May God destroy everyone who have stolen a dime from our treasury till thy kingdom come.

    HEAR IT FROM THE ISLAMIC MOVEMENT SPOKESMAN!!!!!!
    A statement by Dr Abdullahi Danladi on behalf of the Resource Forum of the Islamic Movement, said Olukolade’s statement that “the troops not being out to ‘attack innocent citizens’ is not true. Your troops have killed 33 armless and defenceless people in one day, some of them cold bloodedly murdered by various forms of torture and electrocution.”
    He added that “so far, 33 Muslims have been killed three of whom are Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky’s sons and a Christian old man Julius Anyawu, 68, was also killed when he challenged the army as per why they were killing armless and peaceful protesters. Another lady Chibozor Levechi who came to assist Anyawu was also shot and is currently receiving medical attention.”
