FROM ... SCANNEWS UPDATE NIGERIANS MUST READ THIS! ANYBODY SAYING BUHARI IS NOT CORRUPT IS TALKING BULLSHIT–IKIMI The elders, leaders, youths and women of Esanland and members of the Peoples Democratic Party in Edo state weekend vowed to avenge the crime committed against their own, Professor Ambrose Alli by General Mohammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, come February 14 general elections. The military regime of General Buhari staged a coup against the democratically elected government of former President Shehu Shagari in 1983, and subsequently jailed Prof. Ambrose Alli who was the first civilian governor of old Bendel state (1979-1983) over corrupt allegation of inflation of Ekiadolor road contract, among other political detainees. Prof. Alli’s jail term was reduced to an option of fine totaling N983, 000.00, but he took ill and died shortly after his release from prison. But the Esan people in Edo state central senatorial district, leaders and members of the PDP at a rally held in Igueben council on Saturday, stirred the ghost of the late politician with a call on all political detainees jailed during the military regime of General Buhari and Nigerians, to vote against him, insisting that a vote for Buhari and the APC, means backwardness for the country. Former minister of Foreign Affairs and chieftain of the PDP, Chief Tom Ikimi urged people of Esanland, the state and Nigerians to champion the struggle towards ensuring that a south southerner from the minority tribe in South-South will not be oppressed. “The APC has been seized by very bad people. As we stand now, this is not the time for APC, we have decided let Jonathan from the South-South complete his term of eight years. In 2019, we shall give the chance to another person. General Buhari is contesting the election for the fourth time now. “They say Buhari is there because they claim he is Mr. Integrity. Is there any integrity in not having certificate? Is there any integrity in not going to school? Is there any integrity in lying about your qualification? “Let me tell you, they say corruption; you can only know someone who is corrupt by the appointment you give him. “When I was adviser to government I was the one that wrote the memo upon which they created the PTF. So, there is nobody else that could know more about the PTF than myself, even, in the lifetime of Gen. Abacha I stood out to be challenged about the running of PTF because Gen. Buhari was made to run the PTF as his private kingdom. 80 percent of the projects were in his home town and 20 percent for the rest of Nigeria. Is that a good man? Telling me that he is not corrupt is absolute bullshit.” The state chairman of PDP, Chief Dan Orbih said, “My coming here is to greet you, urge you, plead with you and ask you to join hands with other patriotic Nigerians to reelect Mr. President Goodkluck Ebele Jonathan.” He said “I want to remind you that those who are leaders of APC don’t mean well for our people. Under the regime of former President Buhari, I will recall that your own son the best governor we have ever had, the first elected civilian governor this state ever had you know him, Professor Ambrose Alli. He was punished and sent to prison for no just cause by those who are calling for change. They cannot bring change. You don’t change from what is good to bad. You only change from bad to good. So, we must continue to vote for what is good and Goodluck Ebele Jonathan stands for what is good for Nigeria.” On her part, the eldest daughter of late Ambrose Alli, Mrs. Rosemary Alli, told the mammoth crowd that the then military regime of APC presidential candidate jailed her father at all cost despite the pleas from family and associates for his release and urged all Nigerians, PDP members, children and relatives of all political detainees not to cast their votes for Presdient Jonathan and shun Buhari and his APC at the polls. She said, “please, I have come to beg you people to please give your votes to President Jonathan en masse because Buhari did havoc to my daddy. “He killed my daddy; he put my daddy into detention for good one year without any reason. And upon all the excesses, let them write to say that my father did not know anything about the N983, 000 they said no. They wanted to jail my daddy at all cost. For that reason I am begging you people as long the children of political detainees live, Buhari will never rule this country. Please I want to use this opportunity to vote for other PDP candidates.”
