We Tried To Stop Mass Defection To No Avail – Buhari

Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari says the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) did everything possible to stop the mass defection at the national assembly.

ORIENTAL TIMES earlier reported that 15 senators and 37 members of the house of representatives left the ruling party.

Buhari through his twitter handle reacted wishing those who defected “the very best in their future undertakings”.

He said such is expected “on the eve of elections”, adding that it poses no threat to the party and its aspirations.

“I wish all of our party members who today defected, the very best in their future undertakings. The APC has done its best to stop the defections, and I must commend the party leadership for working tirelessly to unite the party and position it for future victory,” Buhari said.

“I am confident that no harm or injury will be done by these defections, to the APC and its aspirations. I urge party faithful to not despair, but to instead see this as something that happens in seasons like this, on the eve of elections.

“As the saying goes, all politics is local. We understand that some of the distinguished and honourable lawmakers have issues in/with their home states, especially on zoning which bars some of them from seeking another term in their constituencies.

“Let me also note that none of the defecting federal lawmakers has any specific grievances against me or the government I lead; neither do I harbour any ill-feeling towards any of them. I fully respect their freedom to choose what party to associate with.

“I am using this opportunity to restate my total commitment to the values of democracy, as well as my total willingness to work with ALL members of the national assembly, irrespective of their political party, for the benefit of Nigeria and Nigerians.”

    You can’t stop stop prostitutes from prostitution. They are political political prostitutes and parasites. They have no political ideology. Neither a Democrats, Republicans, Conservatives nor Socialists. The main objective in politics is stealing and looting. They are notorious Treasury looters.

    “EXPERIENCED GENERAL?” –

    1. Two civilians – he could not topple;
    2. Security – he can’t provide;
    3. Boko Haham – he can’t defeat;
    4. Manage core supporters – whossai;
    5. Obey court order – no way;
    6. Manage economy – Zero.
    7. Just to appoint cabinet – took six months;
    8. Blame everybody – experienced.
    9. Lock up his wife -experienced
    10. The other room – very experienced.

    All they do is to blame everybody else except themselves, and to unleash tyranny to the detriment of themselves. They even blame their mother for their birth. Experienced General?

    Nobody can stop PMB except GOD almighty all this decamp are political jamboree they won’t stop PMB IF NOT FOR PRESIDENT MUHAMMAD BUHARI…

    How would you know that Patience Jonathan mama is currently spending billions of dollars even while in the grave?

    How would you know that Saraki kept N1.4b to himself from Paris Club refunds and is richer than Kwara state?

    How would you know that $2.1b was shared by ATM Dasuki among ranks and files?

    How would you know that Wale Oke hide N4b raw cash at Ikoyi’s apartment?

    How would you know that someone abandoned N400m at Kaduna’s Airport without looking back for the fear of EFCC?

    How would you know that over N1trillion was shared every year by the subsidy cabals yet you still had fuel scarcity?

    How would you know that Tompolo was paid over N43b to protect our water ways by Jonathan?

    Tell me, how would you know that over N240b was spent to import rice every year thereby leaving the local farmers poor as church rats?

    How would you know that Deziani embezzled billion of dollars not to talk of the 56 choice property recently forfeited to the Federal Government through the court?

    How would you know that Jamb who had over the years remitted N3million now remitted N8billion to the Federation account within one year?

    How would you know that Fayose collected N4.7billion from Jonathan through Obanikoro to fund his Ekiti state election?

    How would you know that Nigeria Customs can generate over N300b within first quarter of 2017 compared to N3b remitted over the years?

    How would you know that Atiku and company (Intel) has been stealing from Nigeria govt. through the NPA for past 17years?

    How would you know that some judges and lawyers are encouraging corruption through perpetual injunctions and what have you?

    How would you know that Stella Oduah used her maids to launder N2.4b?

    How would you know that Patience Jonathan also used her maids to launder over N13b even own Hotel worth N11b in Bayelsa?

    How would you know that the unscrupulous ones hide billions of dollars on farms, grave hards, suck away pits, tanks etc.?

    How would you know that Deziani bribed INEC officials with N23b in the last 2015 elections to achieve victory for Jonathan and his cronies.

    How would you know that Femi Aluko (Deziani’s boy) bought a Yatch (Boat) worth N32b.

    Hmmm, how would you know, how would you know…? if not for the Best President of our time.

    Like Oliver Twist, we are surely waiting to know more even if the National Assembly refused to pass the bill you sent to them (The Anti Corruption and Special Court bill) to Prosecute the corrupt elements in our midst besides our constitution which shelter the unscrupulous elites… the high and mighty ones in our society.

    We all know that the House of Assembly/House of Legislatives are part of the rots in our country and we are eagerly waiting for them comes 2019.

    We also know that their end is near because the lives of innocent people that died as a result of their callous ways will hunt them down.

    PMB, God bless and guide you for us.sai baba.
