All Nigeria Peoples Party A: The dispute of the main opposition party in Nigeria, the ANPP [All Nigeria Peoples Party], took on a new twist when a party official, Alhaji Abdurrahaman ‘Dan Madami, the title-holder of ‘Dan Madami of Daura, had a conversation with journalists yesterday in Kaduna. He accused members of the organization devoted to presidential candidacy of General Muhammadu Buhari, known as the Buhari Organization or TBO, of obstruction and also … well, alienating Buhari from the public and his admirers. He said their action is throwing the party into disarray. For my part, I asked Alhaji Abdurrahaman ‘Dan Madami if he didn’t surely think that … well, if he didn’t surely think about winding up lacking, and lacking loyalty to the party and also to Buhari himself, when he said: B: Since the first time we were fighting before, when we went to prison, where were they? When we were fighting … talking to the mass media at home and outside, when was the last time you heard me talking … eh? A: OK, what’s the position of the General, that is, the former president, General Muhammadu Buhari, regarding this problem? B: It is … the public, they need him. But his underlings, progressives, they have spoiled the matter for him. And they … even out among their constituency, they are irrelevant. But they came and overwhelmed him, and prevented the public from coming and [inaudible]. This struggling long ago, God have mercy on Wada Nas, forever by God, it’s he alone who was the brave one, who stood up and did this thing on God’s account. A: Why is it that you didn’t … take the General aside and tell him what you thought was true? B: They wouldn’t hear of it! They wouldn’t hear of it! If you knew the kind of battle that was going on, they’d … they’d … Alhaji, we would have had a heart attack, so we had to sidestep it first. But the belief that … we know the common people, this is why we went away. But we didn’t want to go. As we were objecting to going to prison, we went despondently, without any sources of income among us, and on entering, there was no one who wasn’t choked up. But the people there refused to pity us, and the reason we would, we hear: we were trapped in a difficult situation [a hyena in front, another behind]. A: So, until now … ah … has the General been your top man among the candidates, or do you have a different choice? B: Well, if they leave the Buhari Organization, we have no one higher than him. But if they leave, but it won’t be possible for you to fight, and one is stripping away. A: That was a leader of the ANPP, Alhaji Abdurrahaman ‘Dan Madami, title-holder of ‘Dan Madami of Daura. But the secretary of the Buhari Organization, TBO, Alhaji Ya’u Darazau, said these accusations are just random arguments, made without an understanding of politics. C: Well, this is what’s happening: there are some people who make an occupation of politics, and they build themselves up, or are built up on … and they’ll have somebody in office who is … their puppet, who only does what he’s told to do. When General Buhari got into politics, they accepted that it must be done this way, and General Buhari said he didn’t enter politics for that. Every little creature has freedom to speak and be heard. Because of this, now when you … you would listen to someone, then he settles down and starts a family, and follows the rules. If the rules are followed, then everyone agrees with them. But General Buhari didn’t rise to power based on them. This is why you see General Buhari even though he is seeking to run for president. But when they call a meeting in Katsina, and the Daura local authority, he will join in, even in his own ward, and they’ll have another meeting in Katsina State and he will join in, how much more the entire country? A: But those who are fretting that they’re doing this, say that you are becoming an impediment between Buhari and those people who want to see Buhari to tell him what is really going on? C: Ah! Well, if you pay attention to how General Buhari is running his activities, you will realize that there’s no one who could block him from the general public. Because those who are coming to see him are mostly the common people. His public is the common people, not the ones who harp on things or those who see politics as an occupation. These are not his people at all. His people are the common folk, and you’ll see those from the rural wards that have come to General Buhari. You’ll see commercial motorcyclists who have come to General Buhari. You’ll see truck drivers who have come to General Buhari. Shopkeepers, taxi drivers, all of the manicurists and shoe-shiners’ operators, you will see that they come to General Buhari. A: That was Alhaji Ya’u Darazau secretary of the Buhari Organization, TBO. Ibrahim Ka’almasi Garba, Voice of America, from Kaduna, Nigeria. |

The leader and candidate for Nigeria's main opposition party, the All Nigeria Peoples Party, Muhammadu Buhari, seized power in a coup in 1984 and ruled for twenty months. He tried again to return to power, but lost to Obasanjo in the 2003 elections. His determination to regain power and, ultimately, the presidency, brought him to the leadership of the party, but not without problems because he was not widely supported by its members.
