"APC presidential ticket: Buhari, Kwankwaso’s supporters set for showdown" sun newspaper, 6/22/14
Buhari, Kwankwosa, two faces of the same Coin
Neither Buhari nor Kwankwosa would make good leadership in Nigeria, a multi-ethno religious society. It is absolutely impossible to be a religious zealot and at the same time be a good, fair and just leader in a multi-religious society. Because it is impossible to serve two masters, one religion and the other secularity, at the same time. It is obvious the servant would favor one over the other. The false belief by Hausa/Fulani military and civilian leaderships that one can serve two master is one of the major problem that have bewitched Nigeria. Hausa/Fulani military and civilian governments failed Nigeria and sent the country 50 years backwards, because it is impossible for a devout Muslim or a religious zealot to differentiate Islamic theocracy or Islamic religion, from the state.
Both Buhari and Kwankwosa and most Hausa/Fulani political class are scholarly Islamic zealots heavily schooled in Islamic theocracy and therefore incapable of leading a multi-ethno religious country like ours. So it is no surprise that over 28 years of Hausa/Fulani leadership was complete failure and retrogression in national development. Too much love for religion only lead to intolerance and discrimination against none observant of the religious faith. Both Buhari and Kwankwosa are diehard Islamists and would never have love for Nigerians of other faiths. And both like most Hausa/Fulani elites would therefore deepen ethnic, religious and tribal rivalry in Nigeria.
If Benue, Plateau, Adamawa, Nasarawa, Kogi, Taraba, with good percentage of none Muslims are truly northern states and not pawns in the Hausa/Fulani rabid quest for power, then let them give us presidential candidate. And why north if they too are called north, after all What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
