The suffering in Nigeria did not start today.
It is like a plaster on the wound. It started long ago, but nobody listened. I am not in support of this political killings happening everywhere in the country. Joshua Dariye’s jailing motivated the killings in Plateau state. Even the killings in Taraba state are all politically instigated.
It is very sad that there are politically motivated, but very soon, God will expose the politicians behind the killings.
You cannot be wasting lives because you have political ambitions.
Even if it is Buhari that is behind it, we should all condemn it. However, I doubt that Buhari will be behind the killings in the country because he means well for the country. I just feel that other politicians are using the killings to disrupt the relatively peaceful government of Buhari and distract his good internet so that they can take on government in Nigeria, but things are not done that way.

Violence should not be yardstick There is no single candidate in the PDP, nPDP or any other party that is qualified to contest with Buhari in 2019.
The APC government is really working.
Whatever is happening in Nigeria today was learnt from the PDP, whether violence, rigging or killing of people it started a very long time ago.
When Obasanjo was in power, there was killing all over the country. He was helpless with the Sharia in the North, bombings in the Niger Delta and other parts of the country. Boko Haram was all over the country during Jonathan’s government and it is now the issue of Buhari battling with herdsmen.
The killings have always been there no matter who is in power, only that it gets more technical by the day.
I stayed in Jos and I know about the killing in the state in 2003 to 2005, also in Ajegunle in Lagos state. After that, Jonathan came in and the Niger Delta uprising subsided so I don’t want to use the violence as a yardstick to measure anybody or government. The politicians know those responsible for the violence and can stop it if they want.

Members of nPDP risking themselves Shehu Sani is a social activist in the likes of Gani Fawehinmi and is very creative.
However, Dino Melaye knows that APC will not give him the ticket of the party in 2019 and he’s free to defect.
Baraje is politically irrelevant after he formed the nPDP and is trying to get back to power with the agitations he is making with other members of the nPDP like Bukola Saraki, Yakubu Dogara, Kwankwaso, Tambuwal, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, Admiral Murtala Nyako, Senator Mohammad Adamu Aliero, Senator Danjuma Goje, Senator John Owan Enoh and others.
Baraje has been the leader of nPDP and commands respect even if he’s not occupying any political position.
However, Saraki and others should be aware that they will lose their seats once they decamp to another party.
Israel Oduamadi, Trader. nPDP members confused The movement of the members of the nPDP is both funny and confusing.
Senator Kwankwaso was instrumental in destroyed the PDP in 2015, but wants to be the presidential aspirant of the party in 2019.
The members are claiming marginalization in the APC, but opted out of a meeting with the Vice President to resolve their issues.
I don’t see why Nigerians should lose sleep over this confused set of people because its is obvious that they are clueless over what they really want, except to distract Nigerians.
