I tink its high time we learn to compliment Mr President for being so tolerable. This is the only govt wia freedom of expression (which is one of the numerous tenents of democracy), is guaranted. His predecessors (obasanjo, yar-ardua, abubakar, abacha, ibb, even the same buhari) never gave room for any criticism. They utilised all the state power @ dia disposal to cow/Kill/main/ intimidate/silence all opposition figures. He has alwyz respected d rule of law by ordering total compliance to all court judgement (Even if they are not in his favour). How many NLc prseidents has bin detained during Jonathanss govt (Adams oshiomole spent the better part of his tenure as NLc president behind bars during obasanjos era) How many state governorship cases did d opposition win during obasanjos era, How many governors had the freedom to cross carpet into other political parties during Obasanjos era, How many senate presidents wia impeached during obasanjos era, How many politicians (Bola ige, marshall harry, funsho williams....d list is endless) lost dia lives during obasanjos era How many governors wia impeached, humiliated and arrested (just for opposing the presidents view), How many states did tinubu or the opposition own during obasanjos era. How many court orders wia obeyed during obasanjos era. His F.c.t minister Aboki mallam El_rufai kept demolishing houses and rendering people homeless even wen they ve bin issued several court orders refraining dem from conducting dos exercises How many free credible elections wia held under past governments. Rigging and stuffing of ballot boxes was the other of the day. All the rulling party under previous govt ever did, ws to seat in Abuja and compute results while elections wia taking place somwia else. Niger delta youths wia massively massacred by the military on the orders of Yar-adua during the brief Warri crises. He suddenly turned around to initiate an amnesty programme wen he realised d crisis ws taking its toll on Nigerias economy due to dia inabilty to obtain crude oil again frm d neglected Niger Delta Region Senate president Okadigbo ws impeached just for refusing to honour an invitation to aso villa during obasanjos era, Audu obge ws removed as P.d.p chairman jus for complaining about the kipnap of a sitting governor ( Ngige of Anambra state) Atiku abubakar was almost impeached for airing his opinions, which ran contrary to that of the sitting president. He was henceforth relegated to the position of Ceremonial Vice-president Alameyesia of bayelsa state ws impeached just for being atikus ardent follower, . Even the wide mouth Aboki called Mallam El-rufai fled this country during yar-aduas era, Nuhu Ribadu hid himself in his london home while the nigerian govt wia making all efforts for his extradictment bak to Nigeria just for his opposition to yar-aduas presidency. Even Obasanjo ws thrown out of the corridor of power and relegated to his Ota farm notwitstanding the concerted efforts he made in forcing Yar-adua down our throats.. (Whch ws why he couldnt hide his joy at Yar-aduas demise) Yet we keep castigating and abusing a man who has unequalled respect for the opposition and has given them a level playing field to air thier negative criticisms/
