After saying it is wrong for a man of God to leave the work
of God to pursue a political career, referring to Professor Yemi Osinbajo,
Senator Smart Adeyemi of PDP who represents Kogi South has also come for
Osinbajo’s boss, Muhammadu Buhari. While
speaking in an interview published on Vanguard today, Senator Smart said Buhari
terrorized and oppressed people during his reign as a president and there is no
way such a man should be allowed to rule again. He also stressed that Buhari only
emerged as a result of people manipulating the political system in Nigeria. Lol. Politicians
coming out for each other. 6 days left… His words below…

You have been consistent in your support for the re-election
of President Goodluck Jonathan while you seem to maintain a deep seated
patriotism for the North. Now, since a northerner is the candidate of the main
opposition party, if truly you are patriotic to the North, why are you
supporting a Southerner for the position of President?
General Muhammadu Buhari is not a candidate of the North.
The fact that he emerged as a flag bearer doesn’t make him the candidate of the
North. Buhari emerged as a result of the coming together of aggrieved people in
the PDP who formed APC. If the North wanted to have a candidate, Buhari
cannot be the candidate because the
North will be looking forward to having
somebody who will be a replica of the Sardauna of Sokoto. Buhari does not fit
into the shoes of the Sarduana because he lacks the qualities of a leader for
the northern region. Buhari emerged as a result of people who are manipulating
the political system in Nigeria. People believe that if Buhari is allowed to
come, they will be able to use him because of his age. By the time you have
someone who is over 70, he is out of this generation, he doesn’t know what is
happening. At my age, there are things I don’t know about the world that my
children tell me even as a senator today not to talk of Buhari who is a father
to me.

The North will not be seen to be making progress to adopt
Buhari as a candidate. Are you saying that we have not been able to raise new
generation of leaders after Buhari when he was a head of state? Buhari, to me,
is being used by those who want him knowing fully well that age is not on his
side and, perhaps, as it is being said, that his state of health is not strong
enough to carry the office of president.
So, they want us to experience another crisis which may come if you have a
president who is not strong, a president that cannot meet his obligations. When
that happens we will have a situation where the vice will become the de facto
president.

That is not good for our system, that is not good for our
diversity as a people. If the North is to produce a president, it will look
at the 19 states and bring somebody it
feels will deliver; somebody that all of us will rally round and be proud to
say this is a leader and not a man with the kind of background of Buhari. Buhari’s
background is not challenging enough, Buhari’s background is not a background
that is good for democracy. Buhari emerged as a leader through military
dictatorship. Buhari truncated the democratic government in place, he owes
Nigerians apology for some of the atrocities his military government committed.

Now for you to have another military government is to remind
us of that era when people were whipped on the street. Buhari’s government was
draconian, it was a government that oppressed the people, it was a government
that showed no human face, it was a government that messed up our tertiary
institutions, traditional rulers were maltreated. Buhari government came and
oppressed us to the point of death. I do not see how I can support that kind of
a man who has not apologized to the Nigerian people.
