I told them that from 2003, I\u2019d spent 30 months in court,\u201d Buhari was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President of the Court of Appeal, the first port of call for representation by presidential candidates then, was my classmate in secondary school in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/06\/30\/brother-nnamdi-kanu-was-arrested-in-kenya\/\">Katsina<\/a>. We spent six years in the same class, Justice Umaru Abdullahi.\u00a0 My legal head was Chief Mike Ahamba, a Roman Catholic and an Ibo man. When the President of the court decided that we should present our case, my first witness was in the box.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cAhamba insisted that a letter should be sent to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to present the register of constituencies in some of the States, to prove that what they announced was falsehood. It was documented.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen they gave judgment, another Ibo man, the late Justice Nsofor, asked for the reaction from INEC to the letter sent to them. They just dismissed it. He then decided to write a minority judgment. That was after 27 months in court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe went to the Supreme Court. Who was Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN)? A Hausa-Fulani like me, from Zaria. The members of the panel went in for about 30 minutes, came back to say they were proceeding on break. They went for 3 months. When they came back, it didn\u2019t take them 15 minutes, they dismissed us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2007, who was the CJN? Kutigi. Again, a Muslim from the North. After 8 months or so, he dismissed the case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAgain in 2011, because I was so persistent, Musdafa, a Fulani man like me, from Jigawa, neighbor to my state, was CJN. He dismissed my case. I\u2019ve taken you round this to prove that our problem is not ethnicity or religion. It is ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The president noted that despite all the hurdles he encountered, he refused to give up and was focused on recovering his mandate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI refused to give up. I had tried to wear Agbada after what happened to me in Khaki. Something was done to me because I did something to others. You know it. In the end, I myself was arrested, sent to detention, and they were given back what they had taken. I was there for three and a quarter years. This is Nigeria,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Buhari expressed hope that historians will document his struggles so that future generations would know what he passed through before he became president.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cI hope historians and intellectuals would document this because it is a fantastic state of political development. Let our grandchildren and great-grandchildren see how we came along. We didn\u2019t get it as easy as other people think. Not because God has given us great population and resources. We have suffered along the line.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank God that over the years, they can\u2019t accuse me of corruption. And I\u2019ve been everything; Governor, Minister of Petroleum Resources, Head of State, President and in my second term.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nigeria&#8217;s President Muhammadu Buhari has stated that ethnicity and religion are not blame for Nigeria&#8217;s problems but the people.
