Pres. Buhari says he won't treat people who didn't vote for him equally with those who voted for him
He did say this during a Q&A in the US yesterday. Asked by a white journalist how he intended to deal with issues in the Niger Delta, particularly Amnesty, bunkering and inclusive development, president Buhari said;
"(Going by election results), constituencies that gave me 97% can not in all honesty be treated, on some issues, with constituencies that gave me 5%. I think these are political realities. While, certainly there will be justice for everybody but the people who voted, and made their votes count, they must feel the government has appreciated the effort they put in putting the government in place. I think this is really fair." Watch the video after the cut...
Ndi Igbo are in for it. But in all fairness this is unthinkable of a leader that says he belongs to everybody and belongs to nobody. I am a Buharist ooh
oh wow!!! Buhari i'm a southerner but from the onset i voted for you. This is so disappointing, i thought you were different. Get ready to leave in 3 years. Please Nigerians come up with trust worthy literate candidates for this position not the kinds we got this year.
Lol Linda Ikeji, Let go, accept the reality. PMB is president and will be for the next 4 years. He enjoyed the support of the general populace because his predecessor failed this country. That being said you should know that no amount of propaganda will thwart his chances of being better than his predecessor. Now a quote from Mr president in the above video which you comfortably ignores is "By the constitution no state can be excluded from government, even if I wanted to show gratitude to those who voted for me against those that didn't even vote for me, they have the protection of the government and I have made an undertaking to that...I belong to nobody and I belong to everybody.. If I come clearly and marginalise a certain group that didn't vote for me, then I have already contradicted myself....." Your sensational post will only fool those who have made a habit of taking statements out of context!!
Dis man wan send guys go bk to creek....e b like say dis bh shit Neva tire dis man,if egbesu boys put hand dis naija no go 4ny Ooo!!!.....shey Ameachi Don hear.....one Nigeria indeed....
You are just trying to make a headline. watch the full video clip so as to understand fully what he meant. he was trying to imply that it is expected that constiteuncies that gave him most votes shud hav higher priority but he cannot marginalize a section of the nation...."he belongs to everybody and to nobody" Stop stirring up hate linda
I think old age is really disturbing the brain of this our baba! Like wtf! Are you for real? Who says that on international tv! You r president for God's sake! Pretend u would please everybody then do ur mind indoors! Even Gej that got less vote in 2011 from the north actually did more for them! Get advisers ASAP! Stop spewing trash nd play ur politics indoors! U must be looking for double palava! Boko haram nd niger Delta militants! Iberibe! We have entered one chance!
Common now Linda!!! I know you understood what the president said. He DID NOT say he won't treat people equally. For those that are waiting for PMB mistake so that they can nail him, here is what he said. His point is that politically, He cannot treat every state or constituency equal because some put more efforts for the emergence of his government than others, but the constitution won't allow him the right to exclude any part of the country from program of his govt. In fact, that's why he repeated his phrase that "I belong to everybody, I belong to nobody" He said he will contradict this phrase if he has to marginalize any part of the country because they didn't vote for him. I implore you listen to him over and you will understand what he said. Thank you!
Cursed is he or her that vote for this terrorist,this is the so called change buhahahahahahahahaha hahahaahahah hahahahaahhahaha. Buhari is a shame to nigeria abokies and boko haram vote for u go and do them good. #sad indeed#
Cursed is he or her that vote for this terrorist,this is the so called change buhahahahahahahahaha hahahaahahah hahahahaahhahaha. Buhari is a shame to nigeria abokies and boko haram vote for u go and do them good. #sad indeed#
It's official, linda no understand english. Didn't u finish watching d video????? Ur headline is wack. He was only being sarcastic. Jeez, linda biko, I like u pass all these nonsense.
What he has said is nothing bt d fact bcos it can easily be done without saying it out bt nevertheless, I tink d full statement needs to be assessed b4 conclusion.
Linda don't be mischievous! Buhari apparently did not understand the question well (you could see him talking with the guy beside him on stage to get clarification). I think he thought the question was about the southeast/Niger delta not getting attention on his U.S. trip. Again, listen to what he said as a whole, and don't cherry pick to soothe your obviously biased mind frame! By the way, I don't agree with him saying out loud that you have to prioritize those who voted for you, even though it is a political reality, even in the U.S.
wait a minute people. I am Nigerian and i swear i could barely hear what he is saying with that thick hausa accent, by the way he didn't even answer the question. He didnt even understand the question. Inclusive development had to be explained to him. Na wa oooo. What does the question on what the government can do against bunkering, amnesty and further development have to do with states that voted for him and states that didnt???? I guess Niger delta is fucked since they were one of the vocal states that vehemently refused to put him in power but abeg Mr. President address that your thick accent Biko.
Linda you went to School...you should have better comprehension skills, we know you are looking for hits but you are lying with that headline. You know Nigerians will not watch the video.
This man is mentally not ok and this will cause alot of issues for him in an economy that depend on oil. dont be shock when pipe start going up on fire again in the Niger delta region. i am shock with his stand but let wait and see.
Buhari is not a Democrat judging from his comment.No wonder all this appointments have been Hausa and few Yoruba. A man who has something to offer a country like Nigeria will not make such silly,myopic and undemocratic statement. I thought we are moving from those tribalistic and traditional norms and values we have known for in d previous administrations,I never knew we are getting more grounded in it.Am so disappointed that a president of d largest black nation will open his mouth wide in d public to say he will be more committed to people who voted for than people who didn't .What a shame!
Tyrant man,who no know you? I spit on your face! If you are referring to the Igbos,we have no regret over our actions so you can scram to blazes for all we care. Ozu nwuru anwu with an animal brain.
That is a silly comment from him. When Jonathan was the president, he gave more priority to the North not minding their votes or their ethnic background.
Buhari is a sadist and a numbskull, he didn't even answer the question he was asked. About time we get Biafra because we all know what's coming. You can't be feeding the whole nation and be treated like a slave because you didn't vote for some punk ass.
It's a shame that a president could say such a thing in a country like Nigeria where religion, political and ethnic tension is high! He has said it all that he's against the people of Niger Delta but he will not succeed cos God pass am... he couldn't even answer ordinary questions properly!
This was,t what this idiot said during his swearing in,mr president u are a big fool,keep bring out your true colour.hmmmmmm hope u can carry what u are asking for bcos nigerians are no more babies.
Emm Linda, try to get your facts straight. Thanks for putting up the video.. You might want to re-watch it and edit your caption because it is misleading. I'm not a fan of Buhari either but he neither said nor implied what your caption reads.
Are you a woman in Abuja looking for a confidential tryst, one night stand or even the odd roadside quickie? Hit me up at lawrencefrederick120@gmail.com. You'll be free to indulge your fantasies with me. 100% CONFIDENTIAL!!!
What is rlly fair abt dis stupid statement if u ask me, he is d president of nigeria for crying out loud. No wonder he's compensating his aboki brothers wit higher post lately, yoruba don enter one chance chai chai.
I wonder how the likes of Bonario and other igbo's and south - south folks that voted this guy will feel after watching this video.... Know yourself no be curse!!!
Though I said earlier that I will reserve my comment but this is an embarassment to our country. South East and South South zones should not expect anything from Pmb gvt. Worst of all he has no clue to the question that was asked. I was seriously embarrassed for him. No one should laugh at patience Jonathan anymore. Buhari is much worse.She was better at least she would have understood the question better without an interpreter. Surely apc could have organised crash courses in English language for him focusing on speech & comprehension. Or he should stick to Hausa & travel with an interpreter.
Aunty thats not what he said. Watched d full clip on fb. He said even if he wanted to, he canr because d people are protected by d constitution.he reaffirmed 1ce again dt he belongs to everybody n nobody. Pls take time 2 confirm b4 posting. Ir blog is read internationally
I hope Goodluck Ebele Jonathan would read this and realise how he betrayed South-Easterners. He foolishly pandered to the whims and caprices of Northerners who wanted him out of office while neglecting the South-easterners. He thought, naively that he could curry their support for a second term when he would the compensate his ardent supporters. A silly case of counting one's chicks before they are hatched!
Ok I just watched the ending part of that video and he did say he would not marginalize any part of the country in spite of the fact that they did not vote for him. This is democracy and as a leader you must be willing to lower your pride. I wish I should have watched it to the end first before jumping to conclusions. I wish him strength
Come Mr PMB, I don't like this o. Why is he trying to create a divide? Be fair and just to all mbok. Let ur deeds speak for u, so that after 4yrs, those that didn't vote u will have no choice but to do so. With this statement he just made, people who didn't vote him will start saying..."I said it, but u people won't listen, now see"
Buhari u re not there for ever only just 4 years so don't worry help ur BH people first. What comes around goes around. He does not even understand English they ve to interpret before he replies Lolz aboki regime lolz
someone pls help me tell pmb that there is something called diplomacy. Honestly, anytime he is out of d country he jst talks anyhow. He needs to be lectured on how to balance his words. HABA. He knows alot of meaning will be read into those words, later he'll start explaining on coming back.
In as much as I sometimes but his ideology but someone should pls tell Buhari that u can force a camel to d river but u can never force s camel to drink water. When u push someone to d wall it will get to a point she will retaliate Nigeria is a complex Countries A country where many don't value Lives he should mind way he says n wat he does Baba go Slow pls apply wisdom
I'm sure that;s not why any Nigerian that voted for him voted for him. People will always have differing opinion and interests, But it is the Government's responsibility to be the bigger person and treat all citizen's equally and fairly as it is it's responsibility to provide security for all of it's citizens.
Hmmmm. Igbos that supported him, una hear am. All major developments continues in the north and west. Baba go slow, iron hand will make stronger oppositions or didnt your advisers tell you this is supposed to be a democratic government!
Naija well done. The error of our ways will be very evident soon. So Cameron will tell Labour constituents they will be treated differently. Obama will say the same. Modi would say the same abi? I pray we are not drifting towards the end of this country.
Am not surprised. If I say anyfin now, some ppl who just want Linda to post their comments will start misbehaving. Does he have to make it obvious? Nigerians never see anything yet. It simply means this administration is for the North alone cos they gave him the highest votes, its already happening sha. All top positions in this country abeg who is occupying them#demo de crase
May thunder fire u buhari for that wicked thought of yours,that is u have igbos in mind to deal with us, But Na Godwin NA Godwin oo If u wan fall our Hands na GODWIN
Oturu gbeke!!!! Poooonario see your divisive messiah!!!!!! South America never voted democrats and they are respected by all president!!! APC will die off, this is a regional party for tribalist! Poooharrri
Stupid idiot with no atom of justice, fairness and equality for all. He is an ass hole and does not have the qualities of a true democratic leader. He will surely fail as a leader. Obama told you " a country divided can never succeed. Find strength in your diversity" yet this stubborn guy has decided to do the opposite. We shall see. God is the ultimate judge. Prick!!!
I said it! This Bhuhari thinks like a 6months old baby! Otherwise, which responsible leader will spurt out this rubbish?! He is already playing out his discriminatory and tribalistic nature by appointing only northern Muslims so far in his govt!
In America, there are some states that voted majorly for the Republicans, but you wont find Obama discriminating against those states! ...... Goodluck Jonathan who is from south-south did more for the northerners more than any other region in Nigeria, even though the northerners didn't vote for him in 2011!
Anyhow, It is time! His time will soon past and will be another persons turn! This Bhuhari is coming across as someone that won't even finish his 4years tenure!!!
I hv alwaz said dat dis ape is a monster Look at what a president is saying Discrimination all de tym Obviously he is referring 2 south east & south south Thunder fire and kill Buhari He wil surely die on dat seat Watch and see We serve a living God and he must surely put Buhari and his supporters2 shame,Amen #oneandonlynwa@gmail.com#
This is a an impeachable offence! He has to treat all Nigerians equally! The elections are over! No victor no vanquished! President Buhari must treat all sections of the Country equally whether they voted for him or not! He is the President and Commander in Chief of the Armed forces of Nigeria ( not of Kano state and other states that voted for him). He is a father figure and should be seen to carry every nook an cranny of the Country along!
Linda! Why don't you listen to the video well? He said "both"....so just cause he is a fulani and his accent isn't clear,you want to mislead the public abi?
Baba go slow obviously has plans to divide Nigeria. Without this video it was already clear that he was the president of Northern Nigeria. This guy is just so dull and daft and still people can't get it. The question that lady asked was pretty simple and straight forward why did he need further explanation ....Nigeria don enter one chance oh!! Choi!!
Instead of just writing half of his answer,why not write what he said fully? The part where he says if he marginalizes,and says one part didn't vote for him and so won't be treated fairly,it will be unconstitutional and people will be quick to pick on it.....guess he meant people like you afterall....and some of you won't bother watching the video anymore....just read the unfinished transcript of linda and start broadcasting it everywhere.
All of you wey dey support this guy.sorry oh as he just dey fall your hand....referring to those who genuinely support him cos they think he is legitimate. Out of the abundant of the heart the mouth speaks..... Daddy GS you can't take this one back oh you've spewed it already.
E ma na E by ezigbote aboki! Aturu awusa! E Wu nno uchu! He is talking about ur ppl here! Aturu mmeeee! Even if he won't treat them equally, no need saying it in public! Ewu Gambia!
As usual, Nigerian youths fall for a desperate plot to instigate sectional divide by a sentimental blogger. Sensational headlines founded upon non contextual statements,.....any honest intelligent and objective person ought to laugh at this here post. How Convinient was it for you to have disregarded PMBs words towards the end of the clip???.....To marginalise any group for not voting for him will be to contradict himself!
From the video, it appears our president didn't understand what inclusive development" means & the moderator had to carefully explain and secondly, he didn't even address the questions on the Niger Delta as regards to amnesty and oil bunkering as was asked. SHAME!!!
Do u even know GEJ out of fear and loyalty and pressure treated the Northerners better than the South. I am certain you heard how the south failed to vote for GEJ because he spent all his tenure trembling in fear and pacifying d North. It is natural to treat ur supporters better but it should not be public information in a statement by d president himself.
Anyone trying to cover up this goof is only being sentimental and biased. Under no circumstance was he supposed to make this comment. What he is practically saying to the areas that did not vote enmass for him is that we should not expect much from him except what the constitution forces him to do. Thats is the summary of the entire video, lets stop covering up and making excuses for him.
What a number of the commentators do not understand is that applying his words would also mean that the South West which was almost evenly split between PDP and APC votes will not get as much attention as his north that voted over 97% for him. Now it makes sense why Akande was lamenting.
Buhari is the worst leader Nigeria ever had! Boko haram sympathiser that has been appointing Northern since? My God will pull you out if you attempt to divide Nigeria! Illiterate president!
Why do our leaders like rubbishing us outside this country? A woman simply asked a question about our presidents plan concerning the Niger Delta and he is talking about those who voted for and against him? My heart bleeds for Nigeria, especially the youths who did not understand the question, and are still defending the president.
Because of this stupid and backward mentality Nigeria is where it is today. To think that you are a youth thinking in this archaic way sickens me. What do you mean by reap where we did not sow? Are you an illiterate? Don't you know your rights? As the president of the country he is meant to cater for each and every citizen irrespective of our tribe or if we voted him or not. God gave you a brain for a reason. I suggest you make use of it. Thank you
Yes i agree with u hope it is d cow and groundnut in d north dat he is going to give to d 97%. So that the 5% can enjoy there oil. You cant reap where u did not sow. Thieves.
another sick statement from a moron that was voted as president, I swear I hate this guy with everyday that passes,and if dis moron of an animal think that he is gonna rebuild the northeast with Niger delta oil money then he should think again.the north should get ready for a bloody four years.stupid statement from an Islamic terrorist president.
Well, Buhari, your age-related myopia and small mindedness is now manifesting. What a disappointment. very very disappointed with you. the southern, western, eastern and northern states are all microcosms in a large mesosytem called Nigeria. when one sneezes, the others eventually catch the cold. Case in point. when militancy and kidnapping started in the south south, everybody looked away. Now guess where kidnapping has become an economic model - all over nigeria. same with cultism. Now we have oodua congress and boko haram. It is okay to neglect the niger delta. Just dont expect to tap into our resources.
U support a leader blindly! Did u not watch the video. What he said was very clear, though he tried to remedy himself at the end. But the harm has already bin done
"the political reality in govt is that you dont expect those who gave him 5% to enjoy same benefits as those who gave him 95% however every constituency deserves to be treated fairly. that by the constitution no one state can be excluded from government. as they will enjoy every benefit and protection of the govt. and i made an undertaken that i belong to everybody and i belong to nobody. if i can clearly marginalize a certain group cos they didnt vote for me then i have clearly contradicted myself."
My people read, listen and understand! His words were taken out of context
I feel sorry for you! Why do you have to watch a video 10 times to understand the meaning? The man was ask a simple question and he answered nonsense and tried to correct himself at the end. Are you this daft?
This is a tribal and bigoted statement from a very illiterate and one track minded president or rather dictator. D man simply does not understand what democracy is all about. Iam ashamed of being a Nigerian with this type of president. Clearly his american campaigner and adviser has gone home. Apc is.a demonic , satanic and tribal party of the North. The south west has already lost out.

He misunderstood the question, he only responded to the last part which is inculions in government. However, his handlers should do more work; the guy has been "shooting from the holster"
its disheartening for a professional like linda ikeji to drumming ember of discord, further worsening d volatility of the country. this kind of journalism should be left for upcoming bloggers trying to draw traffic to their blogs. linda played on d intelligence of Nigerians by this catchy headline and she succeeded bcos she knows 90% of pple wont watch d video probably bcos of lack of adequate mb or they just take delight in the failure of pmb. Buhari was clear about it, he said left to him pple that gave him majority votes would've been favoured more but constitution cannot allow that so he has to be just to all Nigerians. linda its not too late to make amends
U ar so naive. How culd u reason dat way? Wat happens to my Tax if i dint vote for him? Nt everyone shld comment on political matter. Dis is DEMOCRACY claris
He got the question wrong. The woman was asking how he'll treat the ND and mentioned "an inclusive govt" in her question but Buhari thought she meant what percentage of ND people would be in his govt.
The response is not nice but I'll forgive him on this one and hope his media aides would clarify this. He doesn't have a choice but to treat the ND people justly and fairly.
Every soul, tribe or religion must not vote for him.Even though am the fan of Mr. President, the statement is lame and should nor come from a democratically elected president.In this statement PMB erred.His media man should work on him seriously.He even could not say the full meaning of Apc well again in one of the interview.He had not spoken wisely on this at all.
Listen to the tape again Linda is not misleading anybody.Even our president answer is totally off the hook.He was asked something on NigerDelta baba begin talk of voters,who voted for him and who did not vote.Is our President OK.
willy, you are goat and a big fool, must you follow everybody's comment explaining that the resident does not mean what he said or later said something better, out of the fullness of heart the mouth speakth. Buhari meant what he said and he has been showing it in his appointment, stop being a fool. GEJ was not voted in by the North but he was never partial to the North in everything the North even gained more than his own kins men (what an idiot he was) A good man is a good man and a wicked man is a wicked man nothing changes it.
It's "treat" not treated....Since you can't speak correct English, I don't expect your sense of judgment to be logical either!!! You must be high on cheap drugs!! GEJ was fairer to the northerners than he was even to his people...but of course, you people couldn't see how hard he tried to build the "one Nigeria" theme!! God bless GEJ! God bless Nigeria! President Buhari...I pray the shifted knot in ur head falls back into place! Dats all I have to say
Linda should not mislead people as I watched it on Channels. He started by saying what is politically correct and what people will naturally expect but went on to reaffirm his inaugural speech of "I belong to everybody, ...". He said people will be too quick to notice if appointments are skewed in favour of a particular region.

Ndi Igbo are in for it. But in all fairness this is unthinkable of a leader that says he belongs to everybody and belongs to nobody.
I am a Buharist ooh
oh wow!!! Buhari i'm a southerner but from the onset i voted for you. This is so disappointing, i thought you were different. Get ready to leave in 3 years. Please Nigerians come up with trust worthy literate candidates for this position not the kinds we got this year.
For real? Hmm. I fear for naija
Na him sabi
Are u going to feed me? Or be there forever?
There should be no discrimination, regardless.
Trust me we have a very unintelligent old aboki as a president! He was talking like a cow, saying rubbish. #Shame
And what is wrong with that?
Lol Linda Ikeji, Let go, accept the reality. PMB is president and will be for the next 4 years. He enjoyed the support of the general populace because his predecessor failed this country. That being said you should know that no amount of propaganda will thwart his chances of being better than his predecessor.

Keep dividing Nigeria with your useless posts, so that your gullible followers will have something to gloat about.
For the SE/SS we don't depend on any sentimental government.
Bad man! He gave 2 answers to that question...

Lol, let go dia

*Linda's best friend*
I jst love this man
I support this 100%,GEJ started it.
That is a silly comment from him. When Jonathan was the president, he gave more priority to the North not minding their votes or their ethnic background.
In psquare's voice ***e don happen*** oh no!
And I agree with you sir. Despite how linda is trying to make it sound.
Buhari is a sadist and a numbskull, he didn't even answer the question he was asked. About time we get Biafra because we all know what's coming. You can't be feeding the whole nation and be treated like a slave because you didn't vote for some punk ass.
It's a shame that a president could say such a thing in a country like Nigeria where religion, political and ethnic tension is high! He has said it all that he's against the people of Niger Delta but he will not succeed cos God pass am... he couldn't even answer ordinary questions properly!
It's cold it's cold
This was,t what this idiot said during his swearing in,mr president u are a big fool,keep bring out your true colour.hmmmmmm hope u can carry what u are asking for bcos nigerians are no more babies.
As Jonathan did
Emm Linda, try to get your facts straight. Thanks for putting up the video.. You might want to re-watch it and edit your caption because it is misleading. I'm not a fan of Buhari either but he neither said nor implied what your caption reads.
There are political realities yes but he shouldn't have said this. Pretty tactless.

You're a joker!!! Come and mine our oil then!!! Anufia! Cow like you.
What is rlly fair abt dis stupid statement if u ask me, he is d president of nigeria for crying out loud. No wonder he's compensating his aboki brothers wit higher post lately, yoruba don enter one chance chai chai.
I wonder how the likes of Bonario and other igbo's and south - south folks that voted this guy will feel after watching this video.... Know yourself no be curse!!!
Haaaaaaaa Easterner re gone
Though I said earlier that I will reserve my comment but this is an embarassment to our country. South East and South South zones should not expect anything from Pmb gvt. Worst of all he has no clue to the question that was asked. I was seriously embarrassed for him. No one should laugh at patience Jonathan anymore. Buhari is much worse.She was better at least she would have understood the question better without an interpreter. Surely apc could have organised crash courses in English language for him focusing on speech & comprehension. Or he should stick to Hausa & travel with an interpreter.

The real buhari has broken loose.....democracy is on the verge of collapse!!
Aunty thats not what he said. Watched d full clip on fb. He said even if he wanted to, he canr because d people are protected by d constitution.he reaffirmed 1ce again dt he belongs to everybody n nobody. Pls take time 2 confirm b4 posting. Ir blog is read internationally
He couldn't have said it better! Thumbs up Mr presido! Truth is surely bitter and hard to swallow.
Dat is rubbish.....more over ibos are strong people so we dnt need his love.....to hell wit him... frm lindaikeji look alike.
I hope Goodluck Ebele Jonathan would read this and realise how he betrayed South-Easterners.
He foolishly pandered to the whims and caprices of Northerners who wanted him out of office while neglecting the South-easterners. He thought, naively that he could curry their support for a second term when he would the compensate his ardent supporters. A silly case of counting one's chicks before they are hatched!
Now I understand what happened with AIT earlier. This man is vindictive and it's a pity. PMB you cannot run a country like that sorry
No surprises there. lol!!!!!!!!
Ok I just watched the ending part of that video and he did say he would not marginalize any part of the country in spite of the fact that they did not vote for him. This is democracy and as a leader you must be willing to lower your pride. I wish I should have watched it to the end first before jumping to conclusions. I wish him strength
Come Mr PMB, I don't like this o. Why is he trying to create a divide? Be fair and just to all mbok. Let ur deeds speak for u, so that after 4yrs, those that didn't vote u will have no choice but to do so. With this statement he just made, people who didn't vote him will start saying..."I said it, but u people won't listen, now see"
#TeamBlessed#
That is politics. In the UK areas that didn't vote conservative will get less priority. That is how goes.
Nigeria is divided alreddy
No be me talk am oo
Na ur president talk am
Hate to say, it may not be ethical but it makes strategic sense.
Even if he's honestly goin to do this and it's politically inclined, I still tink he ought not to av utter d statement.
No wahala,we don't even care...we just want out from nigeria that's all..nxt year that would be reality
Buhari u re not there for ever only just 4 years so don't worry help ur BH people first. What comes around goes around. He does not even understand English they ve to interpret before he replies Lolz aboki regime lolz
someone pls help me tell pmb that there is something called diplomacy. Honestly, anytime he is out of d country he jst talks anyhow. He needs to be lectured on how to balance his words. HABA. He knows alot of meaning will be read into those words, later he'll start explaining on coming back.
I see your TRUE COLOURS..COMIMG OUT
He is a moron to say dat. Tribalistic animal.
Can't believe this is coming from the almighty PMB messiah. Nigeria is in for a big shock
I can't believe this is coming from the almighty PMB the messiah. Nigeria is in for a very big surprise
Dear Mr President, I campaigned for you, voted for you and made sure my vote counted. I need a job ASAP.
Bitter soul... turn back d hands of time I won't still vote u!
Aunty Linda.....did u watch the video up to the end? Haba but y
This man is so vindictive! That's not good for a leader. I still dnt know why nigerians bothered to vote for this man. It's really a shame!
I can't believe this is coming from the almighty PMB the messiah. Nigeria is in for a very big surprise
Oh well...
So he is the president of the North. No brain. No diplomacy
Short of words!,
In as much as I sometimes but his ideology but someone should pls tell Buhari that u can force a camel to d river but u can never force s camel to drink water. When u push someone to d wall it will get to a point she will retaliate Nigeria is a complex Countries A country where many don't value Lives he should mind way he says n wat he does Baba go Slow pls apply wisdom
Mmmmmmmmmh! O dikwa egwu.
Hmmmmmm
Wow. What president will say such thing? Really shocked. This man is evil. There's no where in the world that everybody will vote for you.
Power can actually corrupt
I'm sure that;s not why any Nigerian that voted for him voted for him. People will always have differing opinion and interests, But it is the Government's responsibility to be the bigger person and treat all citizen's equally and fairly as it is it's responsibility to provide security for all of it's citizens.
This is not good at all and very petty.
Hmmmm. Igbos that supported him, una hear am. All major developments continues in the north and west. Baba go slow, iron hand will make stronger oppositions or didnt your advisers tell you this is supposed to be a democratic government!
Naija well done. The error of our ways will be very evident soon. So Cameron will tell Labour constituents they will be treated differently. Obama will say the same. Modi would say the same abi? I pray we are not drifting towards the end of this country.
Am not surprised. If I say anyfin now, some ppl who just want Linda to post their comments will start misbehaving. Does he have to make it obvious? Nigerians never see anything yet. It simply means this administration is for the North alone cos they gave him the highest votes, its already happening sha. All top positions in this country abeg who is occupying them#demo de crase
When you work you must chop. Reaping where others sow.
Ok
May thunder fire u buhari for that wicked thought of yours,that is u have igbos in mind to deal with us, But Na Godwin
NA Godwin oo
If u wan fall our Hands na GODWIN
Ok oh, my own is that Nigeria should just get better..
GABBY SPEAKS BLOG
I wil be foolish if I say we two nigeria, to say the right to vote comes with a purnishment. But am not foolish.
President of the north keeps dividing Nigeria with his unthoughtful and unpresidential utterances this is what you Nigerians voted for ? Smh
Oturu gbeke!!!! Poooonario see your divisive messiah!!!!!!
South America never voted democrats and they are respected by all president!!!
APC will die off, this is a regional party for tribalist! Poooharrri
I wil be foolish if I say we have two nigeria, to say the right to vote comes with a punishment of unequal treatment. But am not foolish.
Stupid idiot with no atom of justice, fairness and equality for all. He is an ass hole and does not have the qualities of a true democratic leader. He will surely fail as a leader. Obama told you " a country divided can never succeed. Find strength in your diversity" yet this stubborn guy has decided to do the opposite. We shall see. God is the ultimate judge. Prick!!!
Linda just keeps putting several words in this man's mouth
We will rise up against you. Proper illitrate
Is dis guy 4real? I tire 4dis PMB o! Na wa o
Linda I just notice that most of the comment areeea are blank these days wet in dey happen
Them down start to arrest blogger?
Fair enough!!
Haba buhara. Wat buhaha. Inequlity has it own consequence o. God help Nigeria politicians
Haba buhara. Wat buhaha. Inequlity has it own consequence o. God help Nigeria politicians
Did he actually say that?
Cos that's not a very good one
Wow!!!! BabA bubu just keeps messing up..
I said it! This Bhuhari thinks like a 6months old baby! Otherwise, which responsible leader will spurt out this rubbish?! He is already playing out his discriminatory and tribalistic nature by appointing only northern Muslims so far in his govt!
In America, there are some states that voted majorly for the Republicans, but you wont find Obama discriminating against those states! ...... Goodluck Jonathan who is from south-south did more for the northerners more than any other region in Nigeria, even though the northerners didn't vote for him in 2011!
Anyhow, It is time! His time will soon past and will be another persons turn! This Bhuhari is coming across as someone that won't even finish his 4years tenure!!!
Chai!!! Igbos ooo
His brain is old and tired. You guys please pardon him. He did'nt understand the question he was asked.
I hv alwaz said dat dis ape is a monster
Look at what a president is saying
Discrimination all de tym
Obviously he is referring 2 south east & south south
Thunder fire and kill Buhari
He wil surely die on dat seat
Watch and see
We serve a living God and he must surely put Buhari and his supporters2 shame,Amen
#oneandonlynwa@gmail.com#
This is a an impeachable offence! He has to treat all Nigerians equally! The elections are over! No victor no vanquished! President Buhari must treat all sections of the Country equally whether they voted for him or not! He is the President and Commander in Chief of the Armed forces of Nigeria ( not of Kano state and other states that voted for him). He is a father figure and should be seen to carry every nook an cranny of the Country along!
Dis man is wicked and evil
I so hate seeing him
And wil stop listening to news til we get our freedom
#oneandonlynwa@gmail.com#
Linda! Why don't you listen to the video well? He said "both"....so just cause he is a fulani and his accent isn't clear,you want to mislead the public abi?
Baba go slow obviously has plans to divide Nigeria. Without this video it was already clear that he was the president of Northern Nigeria. This guy is just so dull and daft and still people can't get it. The question that lady asked was pretty simple and straight forward why did he need further explanation ....Nigeria don enter one chance oh!! Choi!!
Very dull president
So they will take oil from the ss, pollute our environment and deprive us of our rights. Na trouble this man dey find o.
Seriously????????? Goes a long way to show what kind of leader he is. SMH
Shut up STRZ we all listened to it...he wasn't misquoted ...he said it .....
Instead of just writing half of his answer,why not write what he said fully? The part where he says if he marginalizes,and says one part didn't vote for him and so won't be treated fairly,it will be unconstitutional and people will be quick to pick on it.....guess he meant people like you afterall....and some of you won't bother watching the video anymore....just read the unfinished transcript of linda and start broadcasting it everywhere.
All of you wey dey support this guy.sorry oh as he just dey fall your hand....referring to those who genuinely support him cos they think he is legitimate. Out of the abundant of the heart the mouth speaks..... Daddy GS you can't take this one back oh you've spewed it already.
bonairo should come ans read his daddys speech o
PMB are u for real?
Choi! This ur comment is very bloody. You have said it all. I rest my case
Tgfhkk
I'll assume you didn't watch the video
He has come again. Keep 'misyarning' Mr President.
~D great anonymous!
Of course he won't
U be fool as if those states dt voted are nt known
this is what you see when you give aboki internet access.
E ma na E by ezigbote aboki! Aturu awusa! E Wu nno uchu! He is talking about ur ppl here! Aturu mmeeee! Even if he won't treat them equally, no need saying it in public! Ewu Gambia!
Iti
As usual, Nigerian youths fall for a desperate plot to instigate sectional divide by a sentimental blogger. Sensational headlines founded upon non contextual statements,.....any honest intelligent and objective person ought to laugh at this here post. How Convinient was it for you to have disregarded PMBs words towards the end of the clip???.....To marginalise any group for not voting for him will be to contradict himself!
Gay! Two great men in your life
FOOL!
English you nor sabi, GEJ was the most fair president ever check stats.
See you life, going by you logic nothing will reach our area warri. The 5% that voted for him shld be ashamed of them selves
From the video, it appears our president didn't understand what inclusive development" means & the moderator had to carefully explain and secondly, he didn't even address the questions on the Niger Delta as regards to amnesty and oil bunkering as was asked. SHAME!!!
People will hate seeing you,infact you wont exist in the land of the living... idiot! What can you maggot create??
YORUBA FAGGOT! FUCK OFF F ROM THIS BLOG
That same thunder will fite your entire generation, till youball perish
Semi illiterate, thats what you are
Do u even know GEJ out of fear and loyalty and pressure treated the Northerners better than the South. I am certain you heard how the south failed to vote for GEJ because he spent all his tenure trembling in fear and pacifying d North. It is natural to treat ur supporters better but it should not be public information in a statement by d president himself.
YES MEMBER!
God bless you, Patriot.
"asked by a white journalist..." and of what relevance is that trivial fact. Smh
Typical buharist resort to cursing! Ololo omo ale!
Anyone trying to cover up this goof is only being sentimental and biased. Under no circumstance was he supposed to make this comment. What he is practically saying to the areas that did not vote enmass for him is that we should not expect much from him except what the constitution forces him to do. Thats is the summary of the entire video, lets stop covering up and making excuses for him.
What a number of the commentators do not understand is that applying his words would also mean that the South West which was almost evenly split between PDP and APC votes will not get as much attention as his north that voted over 97% for him. Now it makes sense why Akande was lamenting.
Yes, starting with an ethnic balanced cabinet #fact!
Pls read it again....constituencies not individuals, haba! obviously from the polls he knows what region voted for him
Buhari is the worst leader Nigeria ever had! Boko haram sympathiser that has been appointing Northern since? My God will pull you out if you attempt to divide Nigeria! Illiterate president!
Why do our leaders like rubbishing us outside this country? A woman simply asked a question about our presidents plan concerning the Niger Delta and he is talking about those who voted for and against him? My heart bleeds for Nigeria, especially the youths who did not understand the question, and are still defending the president.
Because of this stupid and backward mentality Nigeria is where it is today. To think that you are a youth thinking in this archaic way sickens me. What do you mean by reap where we did not sow? Are you an illiterate? Don't you know your rights? As the president of the country he is meant to cater for each and every citizen irrespective of our tribe or if we voted him or not. God gave you a brain for a reason. I suggest you make use of it. Thank you
Well i knew President Buhari will do this, I not surprise.
Yes i agree with u hope it is d cow and groundnut in d north dat he is going to give to d 97%. So that the 5% can enjoy there oil. You cant reap where u did not sow. Thieves.
another sick statement from a moron that was voted as president, I swear I hate this guy with everyday that passes,and if dis moron of an animal think that he is gonna rebuild the northeast with Niger delta oil money then he should think again.the north should get ready for a bloody four years.stupid statement from an Islamic terrorist president.
Well, Buhari, your age-related myopia and small mindedness is now manifesting. What a disappointment. very very disappointed with you. the southern, western, eastern and northern states are all microcosms in a large mesosytem called Nigeria. when one sneezes, the others eventually catch the cold. Case in point. when militancy and kidnapping started in the south south, everybody looked away. Now guess where kidnapping has become an economic model - all over nigeria. same with cultism. Now we have oodua congress and boko haram. It is okay to neglect the niger delta. Just dont expect to tap into our resources.
what a president he can't even hear Amerian english unless interpreted Nigeria sorry what a tibal ruler
Did you watch the video questions and answers?
Don't blame Linda! The president twisted his own words
U support a leader blindly! Did u not watch the video. What he said was very clear, though he tried to remedy himself at the end. But the harm has already bin done
Interpreter! U are just a blind liar. Because u like buhari does not mean you should support him when he goofs!
"the political reality in govt is that you dont expect those who gave him 5% to enjoy same benefits as those who gave him 95% however every constituency deserves to be treated fairly. that by the constitution no one state can be excluded from government. as they will enjoy every benefit and protection of the govt. and i made an undertaken that i belong to everybody and i belong to nobody. if i can clearly marginalize a certain group cos they didnt vote for me then i have clearly contradicted myself."
My people read, listen and understand! His words were taken out of context
I feel sorry for you! Why do you have to watch a video 10 times to understand the meaning? The man was ask a simple question and he answered nonsense and tried to correct himself at the end. Are you this daft?
With whose money? Come take oil na. We dey watch
This is a tribal and bigoted statement from a very illiterate and one track minded president or rather dictator. D man simply does not understand what democracy is all about. Iam ashamed of being a Nigerian with this type of president. Clearly his american campaigner and adviser has gone home. Apc is.a demonic , satanic and tribal party of the North. The south west has already lost out.

Demand equal treatment by the president despite voting pattern using the hashtag #EqualtreatmentbyPMB on twitter
He misunderstood the question, he only responded to the last part which is inculions in government. However, his handlers should do more work; the guy has been "shooting from the holster"
its disheartening for a professional like linda ikeji to drumming ember of discord, further worsening d volatility of the country. this kind of journalism should be left for upcoming bloggers trying to draw traffic to their blogs. linda played on d intelligence of Nigerians by this catchy headline and she succeeded bcos she knows 90% of pple wont watch d video probably bcos of lack of adequate mb or they just take delight in the failure of pmb. Buhari was clear about it, he said left to him pple that gave him majority votes would've been favoured more but constitution cannot allow that so he has to be just to all Nigerians. linda its not too late to make amends
Treat not treated u olodo
U dis yoruba boy u too dey talk rubbish.. orietidaru u no just know ni ode oponu omokekere..go join ur cowardly ancestors..wereee
This is not your farm. If you plant on someone's farm, he must have a share.
I support totally.
No u shut up. Isn't dat wat he said? Isn't that a video to show for it? She is doin her job nd if u dnt like it get of pls
Are you for real? Is Nigeria his property don't we have s constitution
U ar so naive. How culd u reason dat way? Wat happens to my Tax if i dint vote for him? Nt everyone shld comment on political matter. Dis is DEMOCRACY claris
He got the question wrong. The woman was asking how he'll treat the ND and mentioned "an inclusive govt" in her question but Buhari thought she meant what percentage of ND people would be in his govt.
The response is not nice but I'll forgive him on this one and hope his media aides would clarify this. He doesn't have a choice but to treat the ND people justly and fairly.
Gehn Gehn! See gobe. People wey no vote unko how e wan be?
LIB addict
Gehn Gehn! See gobe...people wey no vote at unko? Nai be say Delta state wey vote GEJ massively don hear am! *off*
LIB addict
Every soul, tribe or religion must not vote for him.Even though am the fan of Mr. President, the statement is lame and should nor come from a democratically elected president.In this statement PMB erred.His media man should work on him seriously.He even could not say the full meaning of Apc well again in one of the interview.He had not spoken wisely on this at all.
Actually ur d one that didn't listen not Linda abi u don't simple English again.
Linda u shld had waited for his words after he said that, that's Notin wrong wit wat he said go bck to sch linda
Ur indeed senseless .
I guess ur jumping.97%(north) 5%west do the maths ur self u blind fool.
He's not statemanly.
Listen to the tape again Linda is not misleading anybody.Even our president answer is totally off the hook.He was asked something on NigerDelta baba begin talk of voters,who voted for him and who did not vote.Is our President OK.
O foolish Galatians! Why won't he know d state dt ddnt vote for him. U guys need to start thinking b4 u talk....Lily....
PMB has a northern agenda and he is not pretending about it. but he will meet the fist.
In fairness to him I think it is fair
Linda, ull get into trouble one day.
willy, you are goat and a big fool, must you follow everybody's comment explaining that the resident does not mean what he said or later said something better, out of the fullness of heart the mouth speakth. Buhari meant what he said and he has been showing it in his appointment, stop being a fool. GEJ was not voted in by the North but he was never partial to the North in everything the North even gained more than his own kins men (what an idiot he was) A good man is a good man and a wicked man is a wicked man nothing changes it.
It's "treat" not treated....Since you can't speak correct English, I don't expect your sense of judgment to be logical either!!! You must be high on cheap drugs!! GEJ was fairer to the northerners than he was even to his people...but of course, you people couldn't see how hard he tried to build the "one Nigeria" theme!! God bless GEJ! God bless Nigeria! President Buhari...I pray the shifted knot in ur head falls back into place! Dats all I have to say
Linda should not mislead people as I watched it on Channels.
He started by saying what is politically correct and what people will naturally expect but went on to reaffirm his inaugural speech of "I belong to everybody, ...". He said people will be too quick to notice if appointments are skewed in favour of a particular region.
