President Muhammadu Buhari

NADECO (National Democratic Coalition), hereby joins numerous groups both in the United States of America and in Nigeria in calling for the immediate resignation of President Mohammadu Buhari as the President and Commander in Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for gross incompetence and reckless endangerment of life and property of the citizens of Nigeria.
1. The resolution was reached after a meeting of several Nigerian groups both in the United States of America and Nigeria.
2. NADECO noted that the primary and most important responsibility of any government is to ensure liberty and freedom for the people, along with the protection of lives and property of the citizenry, and to provide for the quiet enjoyment and dignity of life. These are the fundamental rights that Nigerians have been denied under Buhari.
3. President Mohammadu Buhari and his All Progressives Congress party have failed woefully and dangerously. NADECO further sagely noted that the fact that the Federal Capital Territory of Abuja is about to fall into the hands of the Fulani herdsmen, bandits, Boko Haram, and ISWAP is a clear signal that the Buhari Administration has collapsed under the weight of its disregard for the people of Nigeria, innate arrogance, ignorance, and corruption.

4. President Buhari himself has stated publicly to the Nigerian people that he is “tired” and therefore cannot wait to leave the office  – even before 2023. Buhari is now a portent of doom. It is abundantly clear that Buhari has “checked out” and is no longer Nigeria’s leader.

5. What more are Nigerians expecting from a clueless and disconnected Buhari, whose hand is no longer at the tiller and the ship of state is rudderless? The President is tired and wants to leave, therefore, we implore Nigerians to join the movement to demand his resignation or face impeachment from the National assembly. There are many reasons Buhari must resign now, foremost of which is the alarming increase in major security breaches in 2022 that have accelerated the insecurity of Nigeria at a pace even the most cynical could have never foreseen – none of which have been addressed and all of which are squarely the fault of Buhari and his kleptocratic cronies and bootlickers.

Listed below are some major incidences since 2022 began, a year that only 1966 rivals for rampant ethno-religious violence, political executions, and religious and tribal persecution of the People of Nigeria:

A. * February 12, 2022: Attack on Nigerian Defence academy in Kaduna killed 2 officers, abducted 1.

B. * March 26, 2022: attack at Kaduna airport, killing 1 and shutting down a flight.

C. * March 28, 2022: Abuja/Kaduna train attack 12 killed, 75 kidnapped. 43 of the kidnapped are still captive in the bush with bandits today

D. * June 5, 2022: Attack on Catholic church in Owo. 70 were killed, many are injured.

E. *July 6, 2022: Attack on Buhari’s advance convoy, some were injured. Also, an Assistant Commissioner of Police and a police officer were killed the same day, by the very same bandits.

F. *July 7, 2022: Attack on Kuje Correctional Facility housing terrorists by well-trained gunmen possessing superior arms to the security guards at the prison, resulting in over 879 prisoners escaped, including all 68 imprisoned Boko Haram members in the prison. less than one-half of the escapees have been captured to date, only one of which was  a member of Boko Haram.

G. *July 24, 2022: A Captain & 2 officers of the Presidential Brigade Of Guards were killed near Bwari Law School, in another bandit group’s attack.

H. *July 24, 2022: Bandits threatened to kidnap Buhari & El-Rufai

I. *Abuja FCT, as we speak, has been encircled by ISWAP, Fulani bandits & Boko Haram. They are gradually tightening the noose. the Federal Government of Nigeria may collapse sooner than later. the situation is dire.

These Fulani bandits whether in their incantation as Boko Haram, ISWAP or otherwise, are getting bolder in their genocidal pogrom of death and violence. These terrorists and Enemies of the People of Nigeria have even threatened to kidnap Buhari & El-Rufai. Buhari in his feeble-minded mental fog was not even aware of the danger he is in until El-Rufai warned him. Yet Buhari does nothing and remains stagnant in his doddering feebleness whilst Nigeria burns and the National Assembly stands idle, soiling itself in the shadows; only concerned with its loot and ability to flee the country when it inevitably collapses.

READ ALSO:

Fulani bandits with security agents’ connivance and a complicit military, taking a cue from Buhari himself, have taken over all forest reserves nationwide, kidnapping travelers, bishops, clerics etc at will. This newfound stratagem is apart from the daily killing of Christians in Southern Kaduna, Plateau, Benue, Taraba, etc.

Nigeria has become an ungovernable security hell-hole, a killing field planted and cultivated on Buhari’s 7 year watch. the task of even pretending to lead the nation is simply beyond him now. The hopeless, prostrate toady National Assembly has thrown in the towel, cowering in fearful refusal to read, comprehend or invoke Article 143 of the dead 1999 Constitution and entertain impeachment to relieve Buhari of his misery of governance and correct the aimlessly wandering ship of State heading full sail ahead towards the rocks of imminent mass destruction and the people of Nigeria.
So, NADECO shall arise now and rescue Nigeria in demanding Buhari’s immediate resignation. It is obvious to even the most casual observer possessing the most moderate intelligence that Nigeria’s elections in 2023 are simply not possible under this seriously deteriorated state of insecurity.

How can 2023 elections be free and fair when numerous local government areas and communities in Borno, Katsina, Niger, Zamfara communities are in the hands of Fulani terrorists who now govern, collect taxes and levies from them as slave masters to a conquered people?

Therefore NADECO, on behalf of We the People of Nigeria, submits the following solutions:

* As a result of the emergency forced on the Nation, on the eve of what have become meaningless 2023 general elections, in a Nigeria gripped by terrorism, bloodshed and unprecedented insecurity, NADECO has thrown its full weight behind eminent Senior Advocate Chief Afe Babalola’s wise and long standing call to put the 2023 elections on hold. Aligning with this well thought out position is also prominent Pastor and former Presidential candidate Chris Okotie, who also canvassed for an Interim Government, to rejig the Constitutional process before any meaningful resort to voting can take place.*

* Chief Afe Babalola proposes on Interim Government for Nigeria.  According to Chief Babalola, a six (6) months duration has been identified as minimum period to set out new ground rules driven by the people as opposed to the Military imposed 1999 Constitution, which surprisingly has survived almost 24 years of civil democratic rule –  despite never being approved by the will of the People who have been denied the opportunity to vote on the Bastard Document that is the albatross around the neck of a cursed Nigeria, lost at sea and heading rudderless towards inevitable destruction with a zombie at the helm.*

* Chief Babalola advocates for a new Constitution by the People and for the People of Nigeria through a Constituent Assembly or any People delegated body. The final decisions will represent the will of the overwhelming majority of the People – who will have input into the process and the power to approve the New Constitution and the birth of the Fifth Republic.*

* At the heart of the new pact with the people according to Chief Babalola and others, including Southern and Middle Belt groups, is Restructuring. It is an idea whose time frame is about to lapse, with the breakup of the nation inevitable in its absence. Once the Pandora of inevitable Civil War escapes, it is too late to restructure in the face of bloodshed and destruction of a war of brother against brother, father against son and mother against children. Have we not learned anything from the horrors of 1967 – 1970?*

* As Einstein once said, “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result each time, is the purest definition of insanity”. Continuing with the 2023 election process represents this truism perhaps better than any other circumstance in modern history. Let us disembark from our collective voyage into a looming national crises and reset the rules of engagement. Chief Babalola’s wisdom and compassionate love for the People of Nigeria as the Midwife of the Birth of the Fifth Republic stands as a stark alternative to Buhari’s zombie leadership. To ignore Chief Babalola and NADECO’s stentorian call enables Buhari’s heartless and senseless shepherding of the People towards the Apocalyptic Spectre of Death and Destruction that continuing on the present pathway ensures for Nigeria.*

May God bless and save Nigeria

We Must Build Beyond the Next Elections’ — Shettima

We Must Build Beyond the Next Elections’ — Shettima

Vice-President Kashim Shettima has called on political leaders to look beyond election cycles and leave behind institutions that can continue to benefit Nigerians.

His remarks came at the Abuja presentation of Brigadier Musa Usman (1940–1991): Service and Impact, a book documenting the life and public service of the late military governor of the former North-Eastern State.

Represented by Aliyu Modibbo Umar, Shettima said leadership should be measured by the value that remains after an administration has left office.

“We must recover the spirit of selflessness in public service,” he said, urging leaders to “build beyond the next elections and think beyond political boundaries.”

He listed reconstruction, agriculture, education, transport, energy, industrialisation, jobs, environmental restoration, peace and security among areas where leaders must take a long-term approach.

The Vice-President pointed to Musa Usman’s administration as an example of how development can outlive a political tenure. Usman governed the former North-Eastern State from 1967 to 1975, and the region he once administered now covers six states in the North-East.

Shettima said Usman played a major role in developing Maiduguri and establishing infrastructure and institutions that later administrations were able to build upon.

Governor Babagana Zulum, who spoke at the event, described Usman as a leader who combined effective governance with integrity, discipline and humility.

Zulum said the late governor’s contributions included investments in education, healthcare and infrastructure, as well as efforts to strengthen the region’s economy.

The book, written by journalists Mahmud Jega and Theophilus Abbah, also traces Usman’s military career and his rise to leadership at a young age. It was published to preserve his record and the history of the former North-Eastern State.

Shettima said preserving such history could help younger Nigerians understand that lasting public service is about strengthening institutions and improving lives, rather than simply holding office.

I Wanted to Disgrace Tinubu — Omokri Reveals What He Discovered at Chicago Varsity

I Wanted to Disgrace Tinubu — Omokri Reveals What He Discovered at Chicago Varsity

Nigeria’s ambassador-designate to Mexico, Reno Omokri, has recounted what he described as an unexpected twist during his visit to Chicago State University (CSU) in the United States, saying he initially travelled there with the intention of scrutinising President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s academic history.

Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan and now a diplomatic appointee of the Tinubu administration, reportedly made the disclosure while recounting his earlier position on the controversy surrounding the President’s academic credentials.

According to the account circulating online, Omokri said his original objective was to find information that could be used to discredit Tinubu, particularly amid years of controversy over the President’s educational background.

However, he said what he encountered at the university changed his understanding of the matter.

Omokri was quoted as saying that he went to Chicago State University with a predetermined objective—to investigate Tinubu and, if possible, expose inconsistencies that could damage the President politically.

But, according to his account, the findings did not produce the outcome he expected.

Instead, he said he became convinced that Tinubu had genuinely been admitted to and attended Chicago State University.

The development is significant because Tinubu’s educational history has remained one of the most contentious issues surrounding his political career, particularly since the 2023 presidential election.

READ ALSO:

The controversy intensified in 2023 when former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar obtained a United States court order compelling Chicago State University to release documents relating to Tinubu’s academic records.

The records were subsequently released following the order of a US federal judge. Reports at the time said the university’s records confirmed that Tinubu attended the institution and graduated in 1979.

CSU Registrar Caleb Westberg also testified under oath that Tinubu had attended and graduated from the university.

However, the controversy did not completely disappear because questions were raised about the specific diploma submitted by Tinubu to Nigeria’s electoral authorities.

Reports of the US proceedings indicated that the university had Tinubu’s academic record but could not authenticate a particular diploma presented to Nigerian authorities because that exact document was not in the university’s possession.

Against that background, Omokri’s reported admission represents a striking change in tone, considering his earlier opposition to Tinubu.

His account suggests that his visit to Chicago State University was initially motivated by political scepticism but ultimately left him convinced that there was indeed a genuine academic connection between Tinubu and the institution.

The development has generated reactions on social media, with supporters of the President viewing Omokri’s account as further vindication of Tinubu’s claim that he attended the Chicago university.

Critics, however, are likely to maintain that the issue was never simply whether Tinubu attended Chicago State University, but also concerned questions surrounding documents, identity details and the certificate submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The available reporting from the 2023 legal proceedings provides an important distinction. There is substantial documentary evidence that Tinubu attended Chicago State University and graduated in 1979. CSU’s registrar testified to his attendance and graduation, while the university released academic records pursuant to a US court order.

At the same time, the controversy over the particular diploma submitted to INEC was not identical to the question of whether Tinubu attended the university.

That distinction has continued to fuel political arguments between supporters and opponents of the President.

Tinubu’s education has remained a recurring political issue since the 2023 election, with opponents repeatedly questioning aspects of his academic credentials, while his supporters argue that the available university records establish his attendance and graduation.

The latest account attributed to Omokri therefore adds another dramatic chapter to a controversy that has survived the election, court battles and the release of university records.

For Omokri, the story appears to have taken an unexpected turn: he said he went looking for ammunition against Tinubu but returned convinced that the President was, in fact, admitted to Chicago State University.

“Not as Corrupt as the World Thinks”: Reno Omokri Defends Nigeria’s Image and Safety

Citing economic growth and safe public festivals, Reno Omokri urges the nation to tell its own story rather than rely on external perception indexes.

Nigeria is not nearly as corrupt or unsafe as foreign reports claim, according to Reno Omokri, Nigeria’s Ambassador-designate to Mexico. In a television interview on Channels Television, Omokri explained that international assessment groups often misunderstand Nigerian customs because they apply global benchmarks that ignore local traditions.

A central issue, Omokri noted, is how different cultures view appreciation. In Nigerian society, offering a gift to say thank you to an official who provides excellent service is a familiar sign of respect, much like tipping in other parts of the world.

However, international observers often label this practice as corruption. Omokri stated that the country needs to share its own experiences directly with the world rather than allowing outside groups to set a negative narrative.

Omokri also defended the country’s safety record by pointing to Lagos, where the economy has expanded steadily and major cultural events draw massive crowds.

He highlighted the annual holiday season in Lagos, which brings more than one million visitors together peacefully each year. For Omokri, these vibrant events show that everyday life in Nigeria is full of energy, community warmth, and safety.
