So I heard AIT have been airing a blockbuster damage inducing documentary about Buhari. I understand they decided to conduct an online poll to probably assess the immediate effect of their hypnotic remedy on the seemingly gullible Nigerians but the expected damage was friendly fire.
I understand Buhari was winning massively with over 75% of polled votes prompting the network to pull the plug on the poll claiming hacking by APC geeks to inflate the votes of Buhari. It is reported that they released a document that was supposed to bamboozle people that IP addresses used to execute the deed truly existed and must have been the handiwork of the APC.
Those who know about these things have since proved beyond every doubt that the AIT created this bogus lie and must be working in concert with the PDP reelection campaign that has also fabricated a histopathologic report, several emails and documents as well as producing a truly lacklustre and falsehood riddled documentary all to ridicule Buhari and the opposition.
But why are the AIT so desperate to prove their romance with Jonathan at the expense of their integrity? They must have seen the benefits that were accrued to the Channels TV who I believe were sympathetic to the Jonathanian campaign in 2011. I recall the regular frequency that Reuben Abati appeared on channels Tv programs towards that election as well as other obviously partisan commentators who poorly disguised themselves as unbiased. Channels are capable of so much more these days; broadcasting capabilities have expanded and accompanying the incumbent and his crew to the economic summit in Davos and being the host broadcaster at the Abuja leg of the summit were just candy in addition to the cake they now enjoy. The NTA seems to be for internal propaganda for rural people while channels is for the sophisticated and perhaps more intellectual people.
AIT I must admit have had it really rough and one cannot help but sympathise with what her staff have gone through since the network was established in the early 90s. They have had fires, been unable to pay salaries, lost staff to horrible deaths and have been shut down. Dokpesi worked to burnish the image of his friend Ibrahim Babaginda in order to make him appealing for a presidential run. This failed so it is understandable that he has leaned towards the generous but desperate incumbent. I do not know what AIT as an Organization is going through but I really do not think it's sufficient to risk one's integrity for that is if such ever existed ab initio.
Buhari has opted to pull out of the scheduled debate powered by AIT and other federal sponsored broadcast networks both radio and television citing the collective conspiracy by these networks to constantly use their platforms to systematically murder the image of the people's general and turn the undecided voting bloc against him and reinforce the sentiments of those who are hell bent on promoting and defending their ethnicity and religious supremacy which they have convinced themselves are at risk of facing extinction from an unchanged disciplined and whip wielding general. Some have said the general is afraid of debating Jonathan as both candidates are not particularly eloquent which is rather weird considering that Mr Goodluck claims to have completed a PhD in 1995.
Why should Buhari be afraid of debating Jonathan? Why should anyone at all be afraid of debating Jonathan? For crying out loud, the general faced two younger and by far wittier foes in the debates organized by NN24 in 2011 when Jonathan was busy having a chitchat with the now diminishing entertainer D'banj. He then turned up for the debate arranged by the present organisers of this year's version and most likely lost to 3 empty stands. I believe Patience Jonathan would defeat her husband in a debate.
There is still time I believe for a change of heart by the Buhari camp to engage in the debate; I'll like to witness Jonathan tell Nigerians again that stealing isn't corruption and a jail sentence is not a suitable deterrent to corruption. Perhaps president Jonathan would substitute Buhari for the professor from the KOWA party hoping to defeat her in a one on one.
It is amazing that people see these things as clearly as daylight but still choose to trust their "wayo" sense to label Buhari as an Islamic fundamentalist and other distasteful tags. These ones choose to ignore the inappropriate jabs at Buhari's personal life especially with the deceased members of his family and embrace the threat by the Niger delta shooting stars to cripple the nation if their man fails to win. They have clung on to events that happened more than 3 decades ago embracing grudges and searching for "vengeanceville".
Na wa for our people o!
