Buhari May Not Want Nigeria To Remain One – Umar Hass

L atest trending topic, that 2 of the 3 major tribes are actively clamouring for their own separate nations is in itself a failure for the Buhari administration. What makes it even more pathetic is how the government has made available an enabling environment for such agitations to fester and escalate to a point where we may just be fighting a civil war this October instead of celebrating our 57th independence.
Like i always say,President Buhari’s promise of placing those who voted en masse for him on a higher pedestal than those who didn’t breathed legitimacy into the Biafra and Ijaw nation struggles and as such,he is contributorily culpable of foisting this sad predicament upon us.The yorubas are the latest to join the train.
To take the loudest and perhaps more righteous of the struggles,after more than 31 non-ministerial appointments by this administration,the South-East was still waiting for its first.Add the lopsided appointments,Nnamdi Kanu’s incarceration contrary to court orders and the fact that the Minister of transport still hasn’t appeared before the Senate to defend the non-inclusion of a single South-Eastern state in the proposed rail projects and you have how Buhari justified the agitation for a Biafran state and won more converts for it.
I had planned to write on the need for nigerians to demand updates on the efforts being made by our law enforcement agencies to apprehend Yerima Shettima,the Arewa Youth Council Forum and his gang of hoodlums that issued the satanic ‘Kaduna declaration’ asking ibos resident in the northern states to vacate by October 1st but that was before the Presidency,with utter disregard for the possible consequences of doing such, released an Eid el Fitr audio message by President Buhari in hausa.The sheer insensitivity to the

Toyin Dawodu , has asked the Federal High Court in Abuja to compel the Senate President , Dr. Bukola Saraki , to appoint a medical panel to determine the health status of ailing President Muhammadu Buhari. Buhari had left the country for the United Kingdom since May 7, 2017 for a medical vacation . But the details of the President ’ s ailment and condition have been kept away from Nigerians . In his suit marked FHC/ABJ /CS /508/2017 and filed on June 28 , Dawodu urged the court to declare Saraki as empowered by the Nigerian Constitution to set up a medical panel to determine Buhari’s health status “ without first being a resolution of the Executive Council of the Federation .” Section 144( 1) of the Nigerian Constitution provides that such a medical panel should be appointed by the Senate President following a resolution passed by two- thirds majority of the members of the Executive Council of the Federa...

BREAKING: INEC Announces Date For Osun Governorship Election Rerun

Thursday’s supplementary contest will be a straight battle between Adeleke and Oyetola, as the rerun will hold only in the seven polling units where results were cancelled. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced Thursday September 27 as the new date for a rerun after Saturday’s inconclusive Osun State governorship election.
