Fulani Bandits Attacks and Buhari’s Negative Response

 

Written by Obinna Akukwe

The response of President Muhammadu Buhari to the Fulani bandits attacks ravaging and threatening the oneness of the nation is at most negative, intrepid, and unbecoming of a ‘People’s General’ whom I played a significant role , among other key activists, writers and columnists, in bringing to power in 2015 and 2019

I do not regret helping Buhari win the elections, because, having been successfully rigged out in 2003 and 2007, and losing in 2011, a win in 2015 is enough to correct the electoral injustices of the Obasanjo and Yaradua years. I wrote a highly circulated piece then in December 2011 titled ‘Buhari, Jonathan and Boko Haram’ where I posited that:


‘’A man that could garner 12 million (official) or 14 million (unofficial) votes representing 36% official and 42% unofficial in an election where all the PDP machinery was unleashed including enormous funds, traditional institutions, governors, ministers, ex-presidents , INEC and forces of intimidation from the police, soldiers and other agents of coercion is certainly a force to reckon with in Nigeria.

‘’Buhari is the most popular politician in the north. Had the 2003 and 2007 presidential elections been held according to minimum acceptable standards, Buhari would since have handed over to another President of Nigeria’’.

Hausa-Fulani Planning to Secede: Niger, Chad to Benefit (Part 1)

Written by Obinna Akukwe

Hausa-Fulani elites of northern extraction have been plotting how to secede from Nigeria since 2017 and the beneficiary nations will include Niger Republic and Chad. The only snag in the plan is the herdsmen who are not ready for any breakup of Nigeria, preferring a secured colony within the national space.

When Nnamdi Kanu, Director of Radio Biafra and Indigenous Peoples of Biafra IPOB was arrested in 2015, the level of hatred his IPOBian faithful poured towards Buhari and his Fulani stock, with extension to the Hausa, Kanuri etc. shook the north to their roots. The north was called all manners of unprintable names in the social media and through every forum. Shoe Shiner’, ‘Meruwa’, ‘Gworo Chewer’, ‘Paedopile;, ‘Murderer’, ‘illiterate’, ‘zoo’ are amongst the moderate names given to the northern folks. Buhari got worse terminologies and they even alleged that he raped Aisha before marrying her.

I watched the insulting embarrassment metamorphose from shock to resolve and I kept warning IPOBians that these hate messages will soon be counterproductive. In November 2015, while pressurizing for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, we issued a press release ‘Condemning the Radio Biafra Hate Speeches ‘The secessionists never listened to us on uncouth language. Even Pastor Kumuyi, Pastor Adeboye and Bishop Oyedepo were not spare of hate speech. The embarrassed northern elites decided not to be taken unawares by a South East-South South Gang-Up, and elected to develop their region in readiness for any form of secessionist agenda.

The hate messages against the Hausa, Fulani and other Northern tribes continued to the highest level after Nnamdi Kanu escaped the Python Dance of Nigerian Army, with the connivance of Tukur Buratai, to Ghana-Israel-UK. How Buratai aided Nnamdi Kanu’s escape is a subject for another day.
