Resign from politics, Vatsa’s son tells Buhari

Written by Hassan Ibrahim - kaduna

A group, the Concerned Arewa Youths Forum, led by Jibrin Mamman Vatsa, has called on former head of state and presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (C) , General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) to resign from politics and allow the Nigerian polity have a peaceful reign.

A statement from the group, signed by the son of late General Mamman Vasta, Jibrin Maman Vatsa, issued in Kaduna, on Tuesday, said if Buhari was calling on discerning Nigerians to judge him, they were pleased to inform him that discerning Nigerians had thrice judged him by rejecting him at the polls.

“Therefore, Buhari should guage the mood of Nigerians by not contesting the 2015 presidential election and also not to delude himself to believing that what happened to those in the western nations, those who contested elections several times before winning would be his fate. That would be stretching his luck too far and testing Allah’s patience,” they said.

The group expressed dismay over the statement made by the former head of state, where he addressed both President Goodluck Jonathan and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) President, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, as being unfortunate.

“Indeed, we would have expected Christians to rise up against Pastor Oritsejafor if he had not reacted the way he did, being the leader of the religion in Nigeria, whose are being killed.

“We disagree with General Muhammadu Buhari that Oritsejafor’s statement “is lacking in facts” as presented by him.

As much as I love Buhari because of the discipline I heard he instilled in Nigerians during the Buhari/Idiagbon era, I think it is high time he left politics.
If he does not leave politics, politics will leave him.
Youths are no longer the leaders of tomorrow, because tomorrow never comes. We are the leaders of today!
Baba Buhari, dan Allah ka tefi gidan ka. Na gode.

I concur. As I once said, he's part of a closed chapter on Nigeria's history. His integrity notwithstanding, I won't vote him given my former comment and inflamatory statements attributed to him.

Time don come for Buhari to leave Politics oo



"Like" If you agree!

When a man doesn't know his boundary,he would be insulted by his surbodinate.
Oga Buhari,pls resign from politics,to serve Nigeria is not by force.

Your APC is dead on arrival.

musiwa26:

musiwa, this is not funny. Infact this man should stripped out from "elder statesman"

Nice advise although I think it's incomplete. Suicide should be recommended as well.

[b] Buhari is suffering from an ABOVE 60 SYNDROME [/B]

i don't blame them naa, shebi naa money them they use run the politics naa. where do the money com from? our pockets i don tire for naija politics ohh

If he like make him continue

Super1759: musiwa, this is not funny. Infact this man should stripped out from "elder statesman"

In other country's. Heads of state serve their time, and remain a source of advice for the present day leadership. Nigeria's case must always be different!
Old men that have refused to die J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ don't want us to have peace.
People who had absolutely no plan for the future (hence bastardizing the present) J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ queue up for another shot @ the national cake.

this s super story, jubrin n question should go nd ask d reputation of his family 1st before organizing such boomerang plan.

My problem with most of those who claim to be the solution to our problems, is their lack of mentorship for the younger generation. By this stage of his life GMB should have mentored enough people who can come in to fill in for him and implement his ideologies.
Same thing goes on in other facets of our life. Professors are just career professors and thus hord knowledge to remain relevant in the system.

Abu Mikey: Time don come for Buhari to leave Politics oo

was he in politics before? the man is a D1CKtator. With his desperate mindset, evil plans, bigotry and all the ish, he doesn't qualify to be Nigerian president in anyway, even in the next 100years should he continue to re-contest.

Which one b Concerned Arewa Youth Forum again Everybody jex dey form any kind group this days... Shay na so Politics money sweet reach...

He is entitled to his opinion... Shebi hin neva learn lesson from hin Coup plotter papa abi...

Ok

Maybe the OP meant Buhari should resign from seeking elective offices. But as a former head of state, he will always remain involved in politics one way or the other.

Buharis unguarded tongue can only be compared with Dame-patience-ej may be he should consider contesting for the position of first-lady. From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

its long overdue

Honestly i totally agreed with u,that Gen.Buhari should step aside for younger generation,to be president is not by force,he should be a stetesman period.

testing Allah’s patience

What a statement!

Good. I reading that even the witches association asked him not to bother contesting. Why is this man letting himself be deluded by the few who seem to be mainly interested in his pockets. Even if he was qualified, he has disqualified himself by his utterances. Abeg, he should go away jawe. "old things are ed away...."

He should be allow to keep spending the money he saved during his regime.

What is of note is buhari's fervent false hope. It is dangerous.

But its preposterous to ask him to quit politics. Its his right protected by the constitution of this federal republic.

If he doesn't, the electorate will tell him through the ballot. Leave him & let him hear it from the entire nation at the polls.

Mr Buhari, i ed the advisers pls go rest,lets assume that u tried at ur minitry regime. Mr Buhari if i can b sincere to u, i will ask u to respect ur by given a sincere advice to the young generational leadership than degrading yourself and reputation to those that respect u a lot.I rest my case.
