Sen Musliu Obaniko, who is the immediate past Minister of State for Defence, has called on Nigerians to judge the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd) by his past and not what his party presents him to be in 2015.

Vanguard reports that the former minister made the assertion on Tuesday while addressing party supporters at the campaign rally he organised under the aegis of the Goodluck/Sambo Independent Campaign Group in Lagos.

Obanikoro, who said Buhari is not electable said: “we cannot continue to judge Buhari based on what we think he will do in future. He should be judged by what he did as a former head of state.”

He said the assaults committed by Buhari and his regime cannot be swept under the carpet, saying; “his assault on Pa Awolowo, Late Bola Ige, Former Gov Lateef Jakande among others cannot be forgotten. The worst crime was his stopping of the Lagos Metro line which would have put Lagos state on a pedestal of sorts.”

Obanikoro who also used the opportunity to dig up the controversy surrounding the educational certificate of the APC candidate, said the issues must not be allowed to be patched up as the opposition party wanted to cover up the issue.

The ex-minister while calling Nigerians to vote for President Goodluck Jonathan explained that the President is serving Nigeria without discrimination and has helped Nigeria’s democracy to grow by guaranteeing freedom of speech for all.

“Jonathan has made Nigeria his constituency and has never discriminated against any tribe,” he said, adding that Nigeria was moving towards food sufficiency with the agricultural policies of the Jonathan-led administration.

The former senator, however, pleaded with Nigerians to vote for the Jonathan/Sambo ticket as well as Mr Jimi Agbaje as Lagos state governor.

“PDP remains the party to beat in this election and we are sure of victory,” Obanikoro said.

It would be recalled that Sen. Obanikoro, who was the PDP Governorship candidate in Lagos state, had earlier boasted that he is the right candidate to take over power from the opposition party, APC in the state in 2015.

Meanwhile, three members of the PDP, in Lagos State moved against him and asked a Lagos High court sitting in Ikeja to stop Obanikoro from participating in the party’s primaries.

Don't worry. Just relax. GEJ will be beaten out same way Jimi Agbade beat the shit out of you during primaries. It is by force to rule? We want change and that is final.

LETTER FROM SHEHU SHAGARI TO BUHARI
 My brother, you have contested the Presidential elections 3 times in
 this country and in all these times,you have never asked me or my
 people at Shagari village to support your bid. It is very obvious why
 you can't do that. You don't have the courage after what you did to
 me. You truncated democracy with a dastardly coup and took away
 power from me.You humiliated me and made me to suffer,and you
 took away my opportunity to RULE Nigeria. You said you do not
 want democracy in Nigeria.. The same democracy you truncated,
 you are fighting hard to get with desperation and diabolical power.
 You have entered into unholy alliance with some known elements of
 disunity in the south but let me warn you. You will suffer hard in the
 hands of Tinubu and his political merchants who will use and dump
 you as they did to Nuhu. In 2011, you cried publicly when you lost
 election,and you made provocative and inciting statements that
 plunged this country into untoward unrest. You provoked our hot-
 blooded youths with war cries which erupted into post election
 violence, that brought Boko Haram into existence, over 500 innocent
 Nigerians died instantly, most of them youth corpers deployed from
 one of the unifying agencies of this country. Personally,I do not have
 a problem with your ambition. It is your arrogance that bothers me. If
 you cannot summon the courage to ask me and my family to vote
 for you because you know we would not,why do you think Nigerians
 would look kindly on your past record of destroying a progressing
 democratic institutions painfully put in place by some respected
 fathers of this nations like Awolowo and Azikiwe. No my brother. It is
 time to wake up from your delusion and do the needful if you still
 have some conscience. I am not writing this to you with vengeance
 intention. I am a practicing Muslim and we leave matters of
 vengeance to Allah. I write to you as a Nigerian,your brother and a
 statesman who is deeply concerned.Quit the presidential race now
 and save this country from the dangling sword of Damocles being
 menacingly wield by the crooks who surround you. This elections is
 not about you or President Goodluck Jonathan. It is about the unity
 of Nigeria which can only be assured by being fair. By this I
 mean,being fair to the people of Niger Delta. We can only do this by
 either re-electing Goodluck or substitute him with any of his kinsmen
 from the South-south as that can only count fair for a people who are
 entitled to 8 years in the office of the President. For the elders
 council in the north,we have come to the conclusion to work towards
 realizing that fairness. 4 years more is not eternity. It is not too
 much of a concession for us to make to move Nigeria forward as one
 indivisible and united country under one God. May Allah open your
 mind to see reason.God bless Nigeria~~ Alhaji Shehu Shagari ( GCFR)
