Nationwide Protest!!! Dying Buhari Receives 2-Weeks Ultimatum To Vacate Office, Osinbajo Set To Be Sworn-In

A group operating under the umbrella of Concerned Nigerians, has given President Muhammadu Buhari, 2 weeks ultimatum to return to Nigeria and vacate his office, or face mass protest that has been slated for March 18.

Recall, that Buhari had been on an indefinite medical vacation to the United Kingdom, UK, since January 19.
The statement signed on Sunday by the leader of the group, Deji Adeyanju, reads:
“Today – March 5, 2017 – marks 46 days of President Muhammadu Buhari’s absence from his office as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and from the country as a whole on a medical vacation in the United Kingdom. During this period, he has not made any public appearances and has only clandestinely “communicated” with very few people.
“Furthermore, details of President Buhari’s health status have been kept away from the generality of Nigerians, while his media team and other members of his cabinet/party make conflicting comments regarding his health.
“We acknowledge that during this period, President Buhari has satisfied constitutional requirements by transmitting letters to the National Assembly, handing power over to his Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, on an acting capacity.
“However, during this period President Buhari has created a constitutional dilemma by carrying out official functions. On February 13, 2017, in a capacity as President of Nigeria, he spoke to President Donald Trump of the United States with respect to bilateral relations between the two countries.

“On Thursday March 2nd, 2017 again in a capacity as President of Nigeria President Buhari spoke to the King of Morocco with respect to bilateral relations between the two countries as well as Morocco’s application to become a member of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
“These actions, as well as President Buhari’s continued vacation, constitute a constitutional dilemma capable of destabilising the country. President Buhari’s insistence on performing the functions of President after having transmitted power to Acting  President Osinbajo in effect creates de-facto and de-jure, which does not bode well for the country.

“To this end, we urge President Buhari to return to the country on or before the 60th day after which he left the country (15 days from today) failing which we will begin a series of peaceful processions across the country aimed at sensitizing the public as to the legal & constitutional dilemma created by President Buhari’s continued absence from office and his insistence on performing official functions while away.”
The fresh ultimatum comes on the heels of an earlier one issued by the Save Nigeria Group, SNG, which called on the Presidency, through the office of Attorney-General of the Federation, AGF, to within 74 hours disclose to Nigerians what was ailing Buhari.
Post-Nigeria recalled, that in its February 8 letter, entitled: “Request for information on President Muhammadu Buhari’s health status”, the SNG had also threatened to take all necessary legitimate and legal steps should their request be ignored
The SNG’s ultimatum has since expired without any signs that the group may have proceeded with its threats.
The SNG was among the several groups that led the popular push to have the then Vice President, Goodluck Jonathan, to be made substantive Head of State, when it became rather too obvious that ailing President Musa Yar’Adua, would not be fit to return to power.

Acting President Osinbajo Is Not A ‘Nigerian’ – DELSU Lecturer (Must Read)

After watching the Acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo in Benin City, Edo State, on TV live during his fact finding meeting with the good people of Edo state, I realised that he is totally not a Nigerian.

He listened to all speakers with rapt attention and concentrated interest. One could see him practically and personally experiencing the pains of the abandoned and raped people of the Niger Delta. Even when there was a mini riot in the hall he remained calmed and probably prayerful as an ordained man of God.
If the mild drama of mini riot that played out in the hall had happened in a situation where even a local government chairman was in charge, the chairman would have ordered the security men to shoot at sight.
If the person in charge was a state governor or a President, he would have ordered a massive arrest and inglorious shot at perception and at sight, but the learned and erudite scholar and legal luminary of international acclaim did not do any of that. Rather when he responded he said he equally shared the grievance of the aggrieved Niger Delta people. This is un-Nigerian.

For a leader to share in the pains of the people and not to deal with them for daring to engage in mini riot in his presence shows that the goddess of pride, the delusion grandeur and megalomania tendency usually associated with the average Nigerian leader at virtually all levels are not in the Acting President. For him to order all the oil companies to move their headquarters to the Niger Delta is a wonderful act of justice and healing of the age long injury inflicted on the Niger Delta people.
That he visited the Niger Delta states differently and interacted directly with the people and even visited the creeks to personally access the horrible situation is worth more than commendation. No Nigerian leader at his level has acted like this.
This is the reason I doubt if Acting President Yemi Osibanjo, SAN, is a Nigerian. Probably he is a Moses in the making to the Niger Delta people.

EXPOSED!! How Obasanjo Threatened Me Over Money – Ali Baba Reveals

Ace comedian, Ali Baba has recalled how former president, Olusegun Obasanjo ‘threatened’ him over money.
The comedian noted that the ‘threats’ started sometime in 2015 when OBJ discovered how much he was paid to perform at events.

According to him, OBJ usually linked him up with events and would ask for ‘his cut’ and threatened him if he did not give him his share.
On his Instagram page@alibabagcfr, the ace comedian wrote:
“My first contact with #PresidentObasanjo was in 2000.
“He took to me because he found my jokes funny. He however never hid his anger at how much I got paid for events.
“The truth was that when Baba was told I charged half a million, it was actually a million.
“Can you imagine if he knew how much it really was? I for go jail.

“All through 2000 he never knew how much I was paid until the National Honours when he found out how much I got every time I came to the Villa.
“So from then on everyone told him I was performing for free. Well not until 2005, when he found out how much I got, he asked me to justify my fee and I did.

“Baba became my number one agent. Every State that wanted him to visit, he would say, make sure you call Ali Baba ooo. And he will get his aides to tell me ahead.
“On arrival at such events, Baba will ask for his cut and threaten me if I did not give him his share. I never did.

Just In!! Why Ndigbo Will Never Produce Nigeria’s President – Uwazuruike

Leader of Biafra Independence Movement, BIM, and founder of Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike has called on the Igbo political class to bury the idea of having an Igbo man as Nigeria’s next president in the face of the current Northern conspiracy against them.

The Biafra agitator recalled that the same level of conspiracy was used to truncate the presidential ambition of some prominent Igbo personalities such as former vice president, Dr. Alex Ekwueme, and Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, a trustee of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Uwazuruike was reacting to a recent statement credited to Ekwueme where he asked Ndigbo to ‎work for an Igbo president come 2019.

A statement issued yesterday by the Biafra Director of Information, Mazi Chris Mocha at Umuaka in Njaba Local Government Area of Imo state, quoted Uwazuruike as sympathizing with Ekwueme and other Igbo leaders “who had in the past put up relentless fight, courage and determination to become president but failed to realize such an ambition, just because they were victims of the civil war which ended on the note of reconciliation, reconstruction and rehabilitation but turned out to be retaliation, isolation and maximum hatred for Ndigbo.”

Ekwueme had said that: “I was Vice President until December 1983 and going by the old NPN order, I would have contested for the number one position in 1987, but the military intervened in 1983 and the civilian regime was cut short. I tried again in 1998 and Obasanjo was released from prison and he came and won, supported by his colleaques in the military. I tried again in 2003 and the same thing happened.


”I therefore pray that the other people (Igbo) can take it up from there and make progress”.

Uwazurike reminded Ekwueme and Iwuanyanwu how their efforts to emerge as Presidential candidates of their various political parties were thwarted when two Igbo sons were sponsored by the Peoples Demoratic Party, PDP and All Peoples Party, APP, to frustrate the chances of Ndigbo to produce a Presidential candidate.

According to him, “the anger which led me to demand the resuscitation of Biafra republic had to do with the soiled relationship between Ndigbo and the rest of Nigerians since the January 15, 1966 Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu-led military coup.

“The Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba conspiracy against Ndigbo is real and that was why the former Defence Minister, Gen. Theophilus Danjuma (retd) could also not hide his own feeling and hatred for Ndigbo when he made an open declaration that he would go into exile than allow Dr. Ekwueme to be President of Nigeria.

“Through MASSOB/BIM, the world has heard clearly the marginalized voice of the Igbo man which wasonly heard in quiet, grumbling and murmuring tone before I started the struggle for Biafra in 1999 and today, the world is waiting for the emergence of the new Biafra Nation.

“Through me, the world which probably thought that all was well with Ndigbo in Nigeria now knows the Prison wall of injustice the Igbo man is hemmed in Nigeria.

“My observation is that if the American fathers of Independence who fought the British colonialism status quo in 1775, had allowed themselves to be derailed out of their vision through patronage and ‘settlement’, they would have died and their names forgotten few years afterwards.‎”
