No Yoruba Who Is Freely Born Should Vote For 'Shallow-Minded' Buhari, Say Shi'ites

Members of Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) from the South West have called on people of the Yoruba ethnic group to vote out President Muhammadu Buhari in the forthcoming general election, for disrespecting the rule of law.

They stated this on Wednesday in Abuja, when the South West Coordinator of the group, Muftau Zakariya, led members of the group on a protest in Abuja.

They marched to the entrance of the Presidential Villa to demand the release of their leader, Ibraheem El-Zakzaky.

Zakariya said: "We came to protest today in Abuja to seek the release of our leader and convince government to obey court order. The court has ordered that El-Zakzaky should be released and should be paid N50 million as damages to him and his wife, because of the illegal detention he has been subjected to. But today, the government has refused to obey that order.

"I am especially using this opportunity to talk to my fellow Yoruba men. No Yoruba man that is freely born should vote for Buhari. Buhari has killed his own people. Somebody that kills Northerners, Hausas and the elite; who shot a Muslim scholar, who jailed him and refused to grant him bail. Let me tell you the equivalent of what Buhari has done; It's like somebody catching Pastor Adeboye at RCCG, and proceeds to shoot and jail him. Can anybody expect that there is nobody in Yorubaland he cannot jail; of course, he can jail anybody.

"If a President can go to the Nigerian Bar Association and tell them that he will not obey the rule of law where security is concerned, it shows you how shallow-minded this man is. This is the man that swore an oath on the Koran, because he is a Muslim to obey the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He still believes that he is a military dictator and that Nigerians that he rules over are mere animals and that he can do whatever he likes to us.

"That is why I am using this avenue to appeal to Nigerians. Anybody that votes for Buhari is voting for somebody that does not believe in the rule of law. Anybody that votes for Buhari is voting for somebody that believes that killings should continue in Benue, Zamfara and other parts of the country.

"Do you think when Yoruba people die, or any other person dies in Nigeria, he cares? This man does not care; that is why we should just give him red card to just go back to Daura and start farming."

The protesters were prevented from gaining entry into the Presidential Villa by stern-looking policemen.

Ethiopia to allow in African visitors with visa-on-arrival

Ethiopia is taking the dream of free movement in Africa one step further. The country will soon a llow African citizens to enter without obtaining visas in advance, president Mulatu Teshome told parliament on Monday (Oct. 8). The move follows the decision in June by new prime minister Abiy Ahmed to start issuing online visas for tourists and visitors coming from all over the world. Currently, all travelers, except those from Kenya and Djibouti, have to get a visa before departure or receive it on arrival. The decision to relax the visa regime will likely be a boon for the country’s hospitality and conference tourism sectors. The capital Addis Ababa is one of the world’s largest diplomatic hubs, hosting the seat of the African Union, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, and dozens of foreign embassies. The announcement also has big political ramifications especially for Abiy, who has promised to open up the country and attract foreign investment. Relax...

Atiku choose an easterner Pete obi and beat Buhari with that singular decision of a promise of no nepotism in his tenure

's official. Peter Obi, former Governor of Anambra State, has emerged the running mate for Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Obi emerged candidate on Friday after a marathon of the opposition party's decision-makers. SaharaReporters had earlier reported that Obi's emergence was "highly likely", however, given the earlier case for using a candidate from the South-West to nullify Buhari's 'Osinbajo effect', a u-turn wasn't completely ruled out.
