Opinion: Stop Attacking Buhari,let your campaign be issue based

I finally made out time to watch the N5million per hour Anti-Buhari vitriolic documentary being aired on AIT and NTA. I have seen propaganda before, but I have never seen such irresponsible and divisive documentary of the highest order. President Goodluck Jonathan and his team condescended so low and threw human dignity to dogs; decorum flew out of the window.

After peddling all sort of lies, rumours and unfounded propaganda and still nothing else to say to complete and justify the 1hour N5million prime time “documentlies”, they now moved to attacking General Muhammad Buhari’s family. Why the hatred? What was the offence of late Mrs. Buhari and the late daughter being discussed in the sad documentary?

There is something morbid about GEJ campaign team. It’s either they are talking about GMB dying soon or about his late wife or the late daughter. They just love talking about death. Why?

If you are reading my message and you are either a parent or one wishing to become a parent one day, I pray that may you not experience death of your child/children… not to talk of being taunted and mocked.

Muhammad Buhari’s first daughter Zulai passed away after delivering a baby. Zulai Buhari, who was 40 died from sickle cell anaemia. Buhari lost a lovely daughter to death on November 29, 2012 after battling with sickle cell anaemia for 40 years! This is what Goodluck Jonathan and PDP has turned to campaign theme! Mocking the death of Buhari’s daughter.

Not yet done with morbidity, they moved to talk about Buhari’s late wife who died in 2006. The documentary mentioned how he divorced his wife and some other beer parlour gist.

Is this the sort of campaign we should be getting from our incumbent president when our economy is collapsing and exchange rate is out of control with $1 at N207?

Again, Muhammad Buhari has never referred or attack President Jonathan’s family. He has never said Dame is barren, he has never said GEJ has children out of wedlock; he has never blamed GEJ for bad drinking habit. He only concentrates on issue based campaign. Let campaign be issue based and enough of attacking Buhari’s family.
