BUHARI IS PLANNING ANOTHER COUP???

The former Military Head of State rtd. General Muhammadu Buhari is surely a perfect man in the art of attracting undue and irrelevant attentions to his personality on a daily basis.

He has once again come out to make use of the dreaded word "COUP" while hosting the Commonwealth Election Observers Group that paid him a visit at his residence.

Read his exact words:

Are Buhari's Certificates Forged?

Latest gist reaching yours faithfully today is that the Director of Media and Publicity of the Peoples Democratic Party Campaign Organisation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, on Thursday made an allegation at a press conference in Abuja that the school certificate presented by the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was forged.

He also said “We do not know who the authors and masterminds of this forgery are but whoever they are, we urge them to come forward and be identified."

“If they fail to come forward voluntarily, we hereby call on the police and other security agencies to seek them out, find them, arrest them, interrogate them and prosecute them, in accordance with the laws of the land.” he said.

Fani-Kayode also called on Buhari to submit himself to the police to answer charges of perjury, alleging that the former Head of State lied on oath about his academic qualification.

This, he said, was what a man who “claims to represent integrity and due process ought to do in this situation.”

My dear readers what do you think about this? Are these many allegations against Gen. Buhari going away anytime soon?

INFLUENCERS WHO GET POLITICIANS' ATTENTIONS AND THEIR FOLLOWERS

Some prominent Nigerians, who have huge numbers of followers by the virtue of their leadership positions, are believed to be capable of influencing the choice of voters in the February general elections.

Their recent utterances have been catching the attention of politicians in the build-up to the elections.

They have, at one time or the other, expressed concerns over the likely outcome of the general elections, which a section of the international community believes may lead to the disintegration of the Nigerian state, if not properly handled.

Some observers are, however, of the view that the utterances of these influencers and opinion leaders have been sending fear to the spines of politicians, especially those who have just won their parties’ tickets at the recently held nationwide primary election.

As an individual, would you cast your votes this year based on the individual whom your religious or political leader favours?
