Buhari will rule Insha Allah, he is the right man to save this nation

lestat: Buhari will rule Insha Allah, he is the right man to save this nation

Birds of same feather...

i have read loads of peoples comments here and i wonder what we truly want for our country, I see Buhari as a man of intergtiy snf of principle I know he doesnt have an oil well despite being the minister of petroleum during nigerias oil boom, I know as a former head of state he didt join in the looting of nigeria hence you dont hear his name the way you hear obj, ibb, abdulsalami gowon et all.
His daughter just died of sickle cell in a nigerian hospital, she wasnt a minister or a senator,
someone here even said buhari sentened 3 drug barons to death when the law did not prescribe so! I say that period we were not in a democracy, and YES I WOULD SUPPORT THAT ACTION AGAIN AND AGAIN.
Most of the reasons people have given here are funny, someone says "never again would any hausa fulani muslim rule nigeria" and in the same tatement calls Buhari a religious and ethnic bigot, who then is the ethnic and religious bigot?
Another person said Buhari did not visit most states in the south south and south east, I laughed and wished buhari had that kind of money to fuel an election campaign, because to win an election you need money ask Barrack obama and mitt romney.
Someone talked about the 13 corpers that died during the post election violence, but failed to talk about the millions of people that hav died due to the negligence of our government in the road and health care sectors in nigeria, i also ask whose job is it to protect the lives of the citizens Buhari or Government, I also remember the people that died in liberation stadium portharcourt when jonathan was campaning because they were sharing money no one talked about it but there IS NO REASON TO WASTE ANY HUMAN LIFE.

Mr sincere NiGERIAN ONE OF THE PDP advocate on nairaland also said theat CPC is a failure in Nassarwa state, to which i say its a big huge lie.... I know nassarawa state is one of the poorest states in nigeria, i also know that a combination of Abdulahi Adamu and Akwe Doma of PDP in12 years turned the state into a debt ridden state, that explains why both past governors are in court everyday trying to prevent justice from taking its cause, a state that reccieves barely 2billion as federal allocation but spends over 2billion servicing debts that no one can explain what the loans wee taken for in the first place, That not wwithstanding TANKO ALMAKUURA has devised means and the state is moving on,
Mr FLYFIREs comments make me laugh based on your logic did PDP not see the video of the commisioner in rivers state muliple voting,

^
they will not say the truth,even when they knew it.

Tell yes to buhari

FLYFIRE:

Birds of same feather...

Last time i checked NL is forum that one has the right to air his/sher view but to my surprise that right is no longer valid the way some are attacking personality not the point.

only a fool would believe that CPC rigged with underage voters in the North.
Is CPC in charge of registering voters and why would Buhari chooose to rig in the North where he is very popular already?

anonimi: ^^^
and Buhari's CPC did not rig with under-aged voters, padded voters' register in areas under their control
Every party rigs where it has almost exclusive control- true in Nigeria as it is true in America.
Google US 2000 presidential elections and Florida rigging.

I pity those supportin buhari... 4give me if I sound wrong 2 some but I mst say this..'Islamist has a long loathing for Igbos and christians' buhari may have increased economic condition in Nigeria bt he is a bloody tribalist. This is proved wen he spoke of 2015 election in a 'bloody way'--he detest jonathan, I'm sure he is even d man behind bokoharam, My father told me tales of buhari and schuwar durin d war and I go numb each time I hear of dat man's name.
Buhari can check corruption,reduce economic problems and rule well per se but he is a bloody tribalist, I wouldn't risk my neck voting 4 him.

0lumide:

You know it's economically not wise to privatize the oil sector? The money to be made from proper state management is like 1mil% more than having it privatized. It means more money for the people and not individuals. And I said state government should manage their resources in respective states not Federal if you fear Buhari wants your oil money because he is a Northerner.

Why? Ask what has been done with the 13% given to oil states?

I don't want to debate your oil wealth. This is about Buhari and why you think he can't rule.

Again, at the polls, if South South and East say no to Buhari and other parts say yes, he is the winner. SIMPLE!

Yes its about Buhari and why we feel he can't lead...SE and SS say 100% no to him, SW give him 50%, NC give him 20%, (I am being generous here)..Core north give him 70%...he still wont win...

But asides that, how is he going to rule is the other key question we are asking....we know fully well that he, like you plans to sit on the oil wealth and pretend to fight the syntom of corruption...

There are those of us shouting on this forum that the heavy corruption is a symptom of a system that encourages laziness, while you feel corruption is the root cause.
The average human being is corrupt..hence systems or conditions that encourage its growth should be done away with...

You keep claiming that I am taking this debate to oil wealth....but really why do you think everyone wants to get to the center?
Guy the beautiful ones are not yet born(i.e those who would push the country in a direction were hardwork and creativity leading to wealth generation are not here yet)

There is absolutely no way you can tell me that government can ever run the oil sector more efficiently than the private sector and those who own the land.

THE NIGERIAN NATION AGAINST GENERAL BUHARI
By Wole SOYINKA


This intervention has been provoked, not so much by the ambitions of General Buhari to return to power at the head of a democratic Nigeria, as by declarations of support from directions that leave one totally dumbfounded. It would appear that some, myself among them, had been overcomplacent about the magnitude of an ambition that seemed as preposterous as the late effort of General Ibrahim Babangida to aspire yet again to the honour of presiding over a society that truly seeks a democratic future. What one had dismissed was a rash of illusions, brought about by other political improbabilities that surround us, however, is being given an air of plausibility by individuals and groupings to which one had earlier attributed a sense of relevance of historic actualities. Recently, I published an article in the media, invoking the possible recourse to psychiatric explanation for some of the incongruities in conduct within national leadership. Now, to tell the truth, I have begun to seriously address the issue of which section of society requires the services of a psychiatrist. The contest for a seizure of rationality is now so polarized that I am quite reconciled to the fact it could be those of us on this side, not the opposing school of thought that ought to declare ourselves candidates for a lunatic asylum. So be it. While that decision hangs in the balance however, the forum is open. Let both sides continue to address our cases to the electorate, but also prepare to submit ourselves for psychiatric examination.



The time being so close to electoral decision, we can understand the haste of some to resort to shortcuts. In the process however, we should not commit the error of opening the political space to any alternative whose curative touch to national afflictions have proven more deadly than the disease. In order to reduce the clutter in our options towards the forthcoming elections, we urge a beginning from what we do know, what we have undergone, what millions can verify, what can be sustained by evidence accessible even to the school pupil, the street hawker or a just-come visitor from outer space. Leaving Buhari aside for now, I propose a commencing exercise that should guide us along the path of elimination as we examine the existing register of would-be president. That initial exercise can be summed up in the following speculation: “If it were possible for Olusegun Obasanjo, the actual incumbent, to stand again for election, would you vote for him?”

If the answer is “yes”, then of course all discussion is at an end. If the answer is ‘No’ however, then it follows that a choice of a successor made by Obasanjo should be assessed as hovering between extremely dangerous and an outright kiss of death. The degree of acceptability of such a candidate should also be inversely proportionate to the passion with which he or she is promoted by the would-be ‘godfather’. We do not lack for open evidence about Obasanjo’s passion in this respect. From Lagos to the USA, he has taken great pains to assure the nation and the world that the anointed NPN presidential flag bearer is guaranteed, in his judgment, to carry out his policies. Such an endorsement/anointment is more than sufficient, in my view, for public acceptance or rejection. Yar’Adua’s candidature amounts to a terminal kiss from a moribund regime. Nothing against the person of this – I am informed - personable governor, but let him understand that in addition to the direct source of his emergence, the PDP, on whose platform he stands, represents the most harrowing of this nation’s nightmares over and beyond even the horrors of the Abacha regime. If he wishes to be considered on his own merit, now is time for him, as well as others similarly enmeshed, to exercise the moral courage that goes with his repudiation of that party, a dissociation from its past, and a pledge to reverse its menacing future. We shall find him an alternative platform on which to stand, and then have him present his credentials along those of other candidates engaged in forging a credible opposition alliance. Until then, let us bury this particular proposition and move on to a far graver, looming danger, personified in the history of General Buhari.



The grounds on which General Buhari is being promoted as the alternative choice are not only shaky, but pitifully naive. History matters. Records are not kept simply to assist the weakness of memory, but to operate as guides to the future. Of course, we know that human beings change. What the claims of personality change or transformation impose on us is a rigorous inspection of the evidence, not wishful speculation or behind-the-scenes assurances. Public offence, crimes against a polity, must be answered in the public space, not in caucuses of bargaining. In Buhari, we have been offered no evidence of the sheerest prospect of change. On the contrary, all evident suggests that this is one individual who remains convinced that this is one ex-ruler that the nation cannot call to order.

Buhari – need one remind anyone - was one of the generals who treated a Commission of Enquiry, the Oputa Panel, with unconcealed disdain. Like Babangida and Abdusalami, he refused to put in appearance even though complaints that were tabled against him involved a career of gross abuses of power and blatant assault on the fundamental human rights of the Nigerian citizenry.

Prominent against these charges was an act that amounted to nothing less than judicial murder, the execution of a citizen under a retroactive decree. Does Decree 20 ring a bell? If not, then, perhaps the names of three youths - Lawal Ojuolape (30), Bernard Ogedengbe (29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26) do. To put it quite plainly, one of those three – Ogedengbe - was executed for a crime that did not carry a capital forfeit at the time it was committed. This was an unconscionable crime, carried out in defiance of the pleas and protests of nearly every sector of the Nigerian and international community – religious, civil rights, political, trade unions etc. Buhari and his sidekick and his partner-in-crime, Tunde Idiagbon persisted in this inhuman act for one reason and one reason only: to place Nigerians on notice that they were now under an iron, inflexible rule, under governance by fear.

The execution of that youthful innocent – for so he was, since the punishment did not exist at the time of commission - was nothing short of premeditated murder, for which the perpetrators should normally stand trial upon their loss of immunity. Are we truly expected to forget this violation of our entitlement to security as provided under existing laws? And even if our sensibilities have become blunted by succeeding seasons of cruelty and brutality, if power itself had so coarsened the sensibilities also of rulers and corrupted their judgment, what should one rightly expect after they have been rescued from the snare of power” At the very least, a revaluation, leading hopefully to remorse, and its expression to a wronged society. At the very least, such a revaluation should engender reticence, silence. In the case of Buhari, it was the opposite. Since leaving office he has declared in the most categorical terms that he had no regrets over this murder and would do so again.



Human life is inviolate. The right to life is the uniquely fundamental right on which all other rights are based. The crime that General Buhari committed against the entire nation went further however, inconceivable as it might first appear. That crime is one of the most profound negations of civic being. Not content with hammering down the freedom of expression in general terms, Buhari specifically forbade all public discussion of a return to civilian, democratic rule. Let us constantly applaud our media – those battle scarred professionals did not completely knuckle down. They resorted to cartoons and oblique, elliptical references to sustain the people’s campaign for a time-table to democratic rule. Overt agitation for a democratic time table however remained rigorously suppressed – military dictatorship, and a specifically incorporated in Buhari and Idiagbon was here to stay. To deprive a people of volition in their own political direction is to turn a nation into a colony of slaves. Buhari enslaved the nation. He gloated and gloried in a master-slave relation to the millions of its inhabitants. It is astonishing to find that the same former slaves, now free of their chains, should clamour to be ruled by one who not only turned their nation into a slave plantation, but forbade them any discussion of their condition.





So Tai Solarin is already forgotten? Tai who stood at street corners, fearlessly distributing leaflets that took up the gauntlet where the media had dropped it. Tai who was incarcerated by that regime and denied even the medication for his asthmatic condition? Tai did not ask to be sent for treatment overseas; all he asked was his traditional medicine that had proved so effective after years of struggle with asthma!



Nor must we omit the manner of Buhari coming to power and the pattern of his ‘corrective’ rule. Shagari’s NPN had already run out of steam and was near universally detested – except of course by the handful that still benefited from that regime of profligacy and rabid fascism. Responsibility for the national condition lay squarely at the door of the ruling party, obviously, but against whom was Buhari’s coup staged? Judging by the conduct of that regime, it was not against Shagari’s government but against the opposition. The head of government, on whom primary responsibility lay, was Shehu Shagari. Yet that individual was kept in cozy house detention in Ikoyi while his powerless deputy, Alex Ekwueme, was locked up in Kiri-kiri prisons. Such was the Buhari notion of equitable apportionment of guilt and/or responsibility.



And then the cascade of escapes of the wanted, and culpable politicians. Manhunts across the length and breadth of the nation, roadblocks everywhere and borders tight as steel zip locks. Lo and behold, the chairman of the party, Chief Akinloye, strolled out coolly across the border. Richard Akinjide, Legal Protector of the ruling party, slipped out with equal ease. The Rice Minister, Umaru Dikko, who declared that Nigerians were yet to eat from dustbins - escaped through the same airtight dragnet. The clumsy attempt to crate him home was punishment for his ingratitude, since he went berserk when, after waiting in vain, he concluded that the coup had not been staged, after all, for the immediate consolidation of the party of extreme right-wing vultures, but for the military hyenas.



The case of the overbearing Secretary-General of the party, Uba Ahmed, was even more noxious. Uba Ahmed was out of the country at the time. Despite the closure of the Nigerian airspace, he compelled the pilot of his plane to demand special landing permission, since his passenger load included the almighty Uba Ahmed. Of course, he had not known of the change in his status since he was airborne. The delighted airport commandant, realizing that he had a much valued fish swimming willingly into a waiting net, approved the request. Uba Ahmed disembarked into the arms of a military guard and was promptly clamped in detention. Incredibly, he vanished a few days after and reappeared in safety overseas. Those whose memories have become calcified should explore the media coverage of that saga. Buhari was asked to explain the vanished act of this much prized quarry and his response was one of the most arrogant levity. Coming from one who had shot his way into power on the slogan of ‘dis’pline’, it was nothing short of impudent.



Shall we revisit the tragicomic series of trials that landed several politicians several lifetimes in prison? Recall, if you please, the ‘judicial’ processes undergone by the septuagenarian Chief Adekunle Ajasin. He was arraigned and tried before Buhari’s punitive tribunal but acquitted. Dissatisfied, Buhari ordered his re-trial. Again, the Tribunal could not find this man guilty of a single crime, so once again he was returned for trial, only to be acquitted of all charges of corruption or abuse of office. Was Chief Ajasin thereby released? No! He was ordered detained indefinitely, simply for the crime of winning an election and refusing to knuckle under Shagari’s reign of terror.

The conduct of the Buhari regime after his coup was not merely one of double, triple, multiple standards but a cynical travesty of justice. Audu Ogbeh, currently chairman of the Action Congress was one of the few figures of rectitude within the NPN. Just as he has done in recent times with the PDP, he played the role of an internal critic and reformer, warning, dissenting, and setting an example of probity within his ministry. For that crime he spent months in unjust incarceration. Guilty by association? Well, if that was the motivating yardstick of the administration of the Buhari justice, then it was most selectively applied. The utmost severity of the Buhari-Idiagbon justice was especially reserved either for the opposition in general, or for those within the ruling party who had showed the sheerest sense of responsibility and patriotism.



Shall I remind this nation of Buhari’s deliberate humiliating treatment of the Emir of Kano and the Oni of Ife over their visit to the state of Israel? I hold no brief for traditional rulers and their relationship with governments, but insist on regarding them as entitled to all the rights, privileges and responsibilities of any Nigerian citizen. This royal duo went to Israel on their private steam and private business. Simply because the Buhari regime was pursuing some antagonistic foreign policy towards Israel, a policy of which these traditional rulers were not a part, they were subjected on their return to a treatment that could only be described as a head masterly chastisement of errant pupils. Since when, may one ask, did a free citizen of the Nigerian nation require the permission of a head of state to visit a foreign nation that was willing to offer that tourist a visa.?



One is only too aware that some Nigerians love to point to Buhari’s agenda of discipline as the shining jewel in his scrap-iron crown. To inculcate discipline however, one must lead by example, obeying laws set down as guides to public probity. Example speaks louder than declarations, and rulers cannot exempt themselves from the disciplinary strictures imposed on the overall polity, especially on any issue that seeks to establish a policy for public well-being. The story of the thirty something suitcases – it would appear that they were even closer to fifty - found unavoidable mention in my recent memoirs, YOU MUST SET FORTH AT DOWN, written long before Buhari became spoken of as a credible candidate. For the exercise of a changeover of the national currency, the Nigerian borders – air, sea and land – had been shut tight. Nothing was supposed to move in or out, not even cattle egrets.



Yet a prominent camel was allowed through that needle’s eye. Not only did Buhari dispatch his aide-de-camp, Jokolo – later to become an emir - to facilitate the entry of those cases, he ordered the redeployment – as I later discovered - of the Customs Officer who stood firmly against the entry of the contravening baggage. That officer, the incumbent Vice-president is now a rival candidate to Buhari, but has somehow, in the meantime, earned a reputation that totally contradicts his conduct at the time. Wherever the truth lies, it does not redound to the credibility of the dictator of that time, General Buhari whose word was law, but whose allegiances were clearly negotiable.

He will rig as much as possible in those areas of the north where he is popular to compensate for the losses he will face in other parts of the country, including those areas of the north where he is not popular.

Once a cold-blooded murderer always a cold-blooded murderer.
As he was in 1966, so he was in 1985 as well as in 2011 and continues to be until he will finally depart this life also!

Those who want to continue singing praises to their "saviour" the retired military dictator the way they see their pastors/imams/priests also as saviours despite their scamming ways are free to do so.

I'll ask nigerians not to see JƱڪτ̲̅ one man as d solution to our problem(s). Α̇̇ gud leader wit EVIL followers produce chaos in any nation. This together wit biased factors led us to GEJ. Table several interested persons aπϑ cast Ūя̲̅ votes according to Ūя̲̅ judgment. 2015 is sure going to take nig to α̇̇ new dimension. May God guide aπϑ guard us. For me, except ♍Ɣ child is pointed wit α̇̇ gun, I'll NEVER call buhari president.

Na im only one dey Nigeria? Can't him sponsor someone else?

Again, we all know SE votes can not determine the election. Buhari will sweep the north and SW end of story!

Ask Tom West a Bayelsa man who he will vote for? And I'm sure he is not the only one in SS that know we need Buhari for now.

It's a shame that we have to bring Buhari back to lead us again but it is a well justified situation because he is the only one we can trust for now!


Some are even referring to the counter coup of 1966 as a reason to not vote Buhari saying once a killer always a killer. And same people will in same breathe say they are Christians and don't want a Muslim to rule. Damn!!! Failed education indeed!!

BUHARI 2015! OUR REVOLUTION IS HERE.

I doubt the people speaking for SE live in SE to see the effect of 13yrs of PDP!

Our problem is corruption and we need someone to stamp it out. Fashola isn't the one, Donald Duke isn't the one, Tinubu obviously isn't the one, El Rufai definitely not the one, No current governor is the one, no current senator or rep is the one. Otumba Dino Melaye definitely isn't the one!!!

SW will vote Buhari, North will vote him like they did in 2011. SW won't vote for some "SOUTHERN SOLIDARITY" which the driving force behind it is "our oil".

SS will naturally vote for Jonathan and SE will give Jonathan probably 50/60% or 90% like before but the truth is, that won't count as long as SW and north votes for Buhari simple!! It's better for SE to pitch her tent with a vote that will count for change in this country!

I'm not paid to start this thread; stop spreading rumours!! I don't have to be paid to love Nigeria and want the best for my nation!!!!! Stop the PDP lies!!

lets be real he will be good and i wanted him to win the last elections but his an illiterate and his English chy
his not educated enough and you can tell by the video genbuhari posted his English is so bad they have to put subtitles loool.

Sincere 9gerian:
Pls tell us how Buhari intends to solve the problem of epileptic power supply. Will he reverse the privatisation? Will fight against corruption solve the epileptic power problem? How does Buhari intend to create jobs? Will the fight against corruption create jobs? Will Buhari build a 2nd Niger bridge? Or will the fight against corruption make the 2nd Niger bridge appear? How will Buhari solve the problem of falling standard of education? Will fight against corruption change the curriculum in our schools? How does Buhari intend to fight crime? How does he intend to bring competence to our security forces? Will he scrap the quota system, the root cause of INCOMPETENCE in our security forces? Buhari claimed he fought corruption to a standstill in his first missionary journey, but can he tell us the infrastructures he managed to put in place. Can he show us any highway, power plant, refinery or any other critical infrastructure he built?

Men, you are so evil, you are beyond redemption. Even thought we know you are being to do this, even then, your own is too much. Don't you have any fear of God of feel any compassion for the masses.

How dare you say Buhari is bad for Nigeria and yet champion GEJ everyday. At least one thing we know for sure is that Buhari will not steal like your paymaster GEJ.

God! Your GEJ is so corrupt, so corrupt that it is stinking to the highest heavens. Imagine in just two years of GEJks Administration, over 5 Trillion naira has been stolen.

Nigerians, who has bewitched you? I can see that Nigerians rather suffer like doomed slaves under their kinsmen than prosper under a good and upright man.

Nigeria, a nation full of fools.

And you, if you think we don't knnow you are Beaf, you are just fooling yourselves. And u are using more than one I'd.

Mekanze: Bros remove meddle belt from the north, because they can never i mean never vote for buhari .

Im totally wit u on this one. Besides who wan vote dead horse for power? Abeg make north leave us cos life no get duplicate ooooooooooo!

Nashville: In a opinion he should not. Nigerians have rejected him three times already and I do not think they will accept him a fourth time. As someone said earlier, he already has a bad image especially in the South and he has done little to change it. People just see him as an Islamist and I cant see the justification.

If he truely means well, he should find a credible person within his party or another party to support - someone more electable than him and who carries his vision. Presidency is not about personal ambition, it is about serving the people and if they have rejected you, then you need to accept it and move on.

I also wouldn't vote for him if he contested. Although he says he will fight corruption, I do not think he has a great understanding of 21st century issues. I personally will not support anyone with a military background as I think we have had enough of them. And we have had enough of GEJ too. Let's see

he was not rejected,he was rigged out three times,military background or no military background,a good leader is a good leader,check your history man,you are outdated

Time for the truth to be told: .....

[size=13pt]Major-General Buhari was selected to lead the country by middle and high-ranking military officers after a successful military coup d'etat that overthrew civilian President Shehu Shagari on December 31, 1983.

At the time, Buhari was head of the Third Armored Division of Jos. Buhari was appointed Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, and Tunde Idiagbon was appointed Chief of General Staff (the de facto No. 2 in the administration). Buhari justified the military's seizure of power by castigating the civilian government as hopelessly corrupt.[/size]





[size=18pt]General Buhari's Maiden Speech: - 1st January 1984[/size]

In pursuance of the primary objective of saving our great nation from total collapse, I, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari of the Nigerian army have, after due consultation amongst the services of the armed forces, been formally invested with the authority of the Head of the Federal Military Government and the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is with humility and a deep sense of responsibility that I accept this challenge and call to national duty.



As you must have heard in the previous announcement, the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1979) has been suspended, except those sections of it which are exempted in the constitution.The change became necessary in order to put an end to the serious economic predicament and the crisis of confidence now afflicting our nation. Consequently, the Nigerian armed forces have constituted themselves into a Federal Military Government comprising of a Supreme Military Council, a National Council of States, a Federal Executive Council at the centre and State Executive Councils to be presided over by military governors in each of the states of the federation. Members of these councils will be announced soon.The last Federal Military Government drew up a programme with the aim of handing over political power to the civilians in 1979. This programme as you all know, was implemented to the letter. The 1979 constitution was promulgated. However, little did the military realise that the political leadership of the second republic will circumvent most of the checks and balances in the constitution and bring the present state of general insecurity. The premium on political power became so exceedingly high that political contestants regarded victory at elections as a matter of life and death struggle and were determined to capture or retain power by all means.



It is true that there is a worldwide economic recession. However, in the case of Nigeria, its impact was aggravated by mismanagement. We believe the appropriate government agencies have good advice but the leadership disregarded their advice. The situation could have been avoided if the legislators were alive to their constitutional responsibilities; Instead, the legislators were preoccupied with determining their salary scales, fringe benefit and unnecessary foreign travels, et al, which took no account of the state of the economy and the welfare of the people they represented. As a result of our inability to cultivate financial discipline and prudent management of the economy, we have come to depend largely on internal and external borrowing to execute government projects with attendant domestic pressure and soaring external debts, thus aggravating the propensity of the outgoing civilian administration to mismanage our financial resources. Nigeria was already condemned perpetually with the twin problem of heavy budget deficits and weak balance of payments position, with the prospect of building a virile and viable economy.




The last general election was anything but free and fair. The only political parties that could complain of election rigging are those parties that lacked the resources to rig. There is ample evidence that rigging and thuggery were relative to the resources available to the parties. This conclusively proved to us that the parties have not developed confidence in the presidential system of government on which the nation invested so much material and human resources.While corruption and indiscipline have been associated with our state of under-development, these two evils in our body politic have attained unprecedented height in the past few years. The corrupt, inept and insensitive leadership in the last four years has been the source of immorality and impropriety in our society. Since what happens in any society is largely a reflection of the leadership of that society, we deplore corruption in all its facets. This government will not tolerate kick-backs, inflation of contracts and over-invoicing of imports etc. Nor will it condone forgery, fraud, embezzlement, misuse and abuse of office and illegal dealings in foreign exchange and smuggling.



Arson has been used to cover up fraudulent acts in public institutions. I am referring to the fire incidents that gutted the P&T buildings in Lagos, the Anambra State Broadcasting Corporation, the Republic Building at Marina, the Federal Ministry of Education, the Federal Capital Development Authority Accounts at Abuja and the NET Building. Most of these fire incidents occurred at a time when Nigerians were being apprehensive of the frequency of fraud scandals and the government incapacity to deal with them. Corruption has become so pervasive and intractable that a whole ministry has been created to stem it.



Fellow Nigerians, this indeed is the moment of truth. My colleagues and I – the Supreme Military Council, must be frank enough to acknowledge the fact that at the moment, an accurate picture of the financial position is yet to be determined. We have no doubt that the situation is bad enough. In spite of all this, every effort will be made to ensure that the difficult and degrading conditions under which we are living are eliminated. Let no one however be deceived that workers who have not received their salaries in the past eight or so months will receive such salaries within today or tomorrow or that hospitals which have been without drugs for months will be provided with enough immediately.We are determined that with the help of God we shall do our best to settle genuine payments to which government is committed, including backlog of workers’ salaries after scrutiny. We are confident and we assure you that even in the face of the global recession, and the seemingly gloomy financial future, given prudent management of Nigeria’s existing financial resources and our determination to substantially reduce and eventually nail down rises in budgetary deficits and weak balance of payments position.The Federal Military Government will reappraise policies with a view to paying greater attention to the following areas:



The economy will be given a new impetus and better sense of direction.
Corrupt officials and their agents will be brought to book.
In view of the drought that affected most parts of the country, the federal government will, with the available resources, import food stuffs to supplement the shortfalls suffered in the last harvest.
Our foreign policy will both be dynamic and realistic. Africa will of course continue to be the centre piece of our foreign policy. The morale and combat readiness of the armed forces will be given high priority. Officers and men with high personal and professional integrity will have nothing to fear.



The Chief Justice of Nigeria and all other holders of judiciary appointments within the federation can continue in their appointments and the judiciary shall continue to function under existing laws subject to such exceptions as may e decreed from time to time by the Federal Military Government. All holders of appointments in the civil service, the police and the National Security Organisation shall continue to exercise their functions in the normal way subject to changes that may be introduced by the Federal Military Government. All those chairmen and members of statutory corporations, parastatals and other executive departments are hereby relieved of their appointments with immediate effect.



The Federal Military Government will maintain and strengthen existing diplomatic relations with other states and with international organisations and institutions such as the Organisation of African Unity, the United Nations and its organs, Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, ECOWAS and the Commonwealth etc. The Federal Military Government will honour and respect all treaties and obligations entered into by the previous government and we hope that such nations and bodies will reciprocate this gesture by respecting our country’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.




Fellow Nigerians, finally, we have dutifully intervened to save this nation from imminent collapse. We therefore expect all Nigerians, including those who participated directly or indirectly in bringing the nation to this present predicament, to cooperate with us. This generation of Nigerians, and indeed future generations, have no country other than Nigeria. We shall remain here and salvage it together.

May God bless us all. Good morning.

4,000 EX-GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS SURRENDER TO BUHARI'S ANTI-CORRUPTION PROBE[/size]

Western diplomats reported today that as many as 4,000 officials of the ousted national and state governments had turned themselves in to the police as part of the new military Government's investigation of corruption. The diplomats said most of the former officials were released, some after their passports were confiscated. But about 400 were reportedly still held under what was described as ''military protection.''

At the same time, the Western diplomats and Nigerian sources said, many of the former officials who were on what the military Government of Maj. Gen. Mohammed Buhari called its ''most wanted list'' have managed to flee the country. Some who were abroad during the military takeover have decided to remain there.

LEBANESE AND INDIAN COMMUNITIES IN NIGERIA UNDER ATTACK BY NEWSPAPERS.[/size]

The large Indian and Lebanese communities in Nigeria have been under attack by the leading Nigerian independent newspaper, accusing them of economic sabotage.The Guardian editorial followed another one last week in the National Concord.

The Indian and Lebanese communities have been accused of bribing bank officials to illegally move foreign currency out of Nigeria, and hoarding goods.The economic success of the Lebanese and Indian communities has been the subject of some jealousy.Between the two communities, they own numerous factories and small businesses.

The new military government which seized power on December 31, 1983 has promised to fight corruption and bring down food prices.
Indians and Lebanese are alleged to be some of the power behind corrupt middlemen. Long jail terms for economic sabotage are being mentioned in the national press.

yertyr: I pity those supportin buhari... 4give me if I sound wrong 2 some but I mst say this..'Islamist has a long loathing for Igbos and christians' buhari may have increased economic condition in Nigeria bt he is a bloody tribalist. This is proved wen he spoke of 2015 election in a 'bloody way'--he detest jonathan, I'm sure he is even d man behind bokoharam, My father told me tales of buhari and schuwar durin d war and I go numb each time I hear of dat man's name.
Buhari can check corruption,reduce economic problems and rule well per se but he is a bloody tribalist, I wouldn't risk my neck voting 4 him.

You are classic id.iot. You guys just keep repeating the same thing no matter of evidence that points at the very opposite. Buhari is that, he did that, yet no single shred of evidence to support that claim.
