From ABDULGAFAR
ALABELEWE, Kaduna
Former military Head of State,
Major-Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari (rtd) said at the weekend
that he wept for Nigeria during
the 2011 general elections,
considering the country’s ordeal
between 1999 till date.
Buhari, the Congress for
Progressive Change (CPC)
presidential candidate in the
election, said the condition was
worse than the 1966-1999
period.
This was even as Buhari, who is
a leader of the CPC group in the
emerging All Progressives
Congress (APC), said he will not
leave APC if he does not emerge
as the party’s presidential
candidate in the 2015 general
elections. General Buhari stated
this yesterday while speaking
on Liberty Radio, Kaduna as the
Guest of the Week, saying what
Nigeria has gone through from
1999 to date is worse than what
it experienced between 1966
and 1999.
According to him, even with his
experience of coups, counter-
coups and his over three years
in detention, there was never a
time that he broke down
publicly like 2011.
“With all that I went through,
including war and so on, 2011
was the only time I ever broke
down publicly and that could
come out from the paper I was
reading before the 2011 general
elections.
“From January 1966, what has
happened to us as a people and
as a country, the coups, the
counter-coups and the civil war,
I was in detention for more than
three years. And I went through
a paper and I saw the amazing
opportunity we have got
through petroleum resources
from 1999 to the time I shed
tears, and compared to the
decay in infrastructure and
people in the position of
authority just doing things,
minding their own business.
“There is no ministry,
department or parastatal that
you will go today where there is
no administrative instruction or
financial instruction, but if you
try to follow the hearing
organised by the National
Assembly on NEPA, (Power
Holding Company of Nigeria,
PHCN), petroleum and others,
one will certainly shed tears.
“The whole problem of Nigeria
revolves around leadership at
the very top. Look at how we
derive the power or the morality
of how we run this country now
from four or five documents
now; the 1999 Constitution
itself, from which INEC derives
its function. And one of the
major responsibilities of INEC
is to register associations into
political parties.
“So, really by law, Nigeria is
absolutely matured and
prepared. But execution is the
beginning of the problem. Go to
all departments, parastatals,
ministries to the Presidency, it
will appear it is put aside at
various levels and people are
just doing things the way they
like. This is the tragedy of
Nigeria, that people at the top
and at the various levels are just
doing what they like, not what
the laws provide”, he said.
He lamented that the problems
of the country revolve around
abuse of trust, especially in
public offices and the elite were
guilty of the sin.
Speaking on the new APC,
General Buhari said the road to
the merger of the progressive
parties into APC had been very
rough because the ruling
Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) has seen it as a threat
and doing everything possible
to frustrate the merger.
He however, said that, as an
optimist, he believes that the
Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) will
register APC without any
hindrance, because the new
party has almost met all the
constitutional requirements of a
political party registration.
Buhari, the presidential
candidate of APP, ANPP and
CPC in 2003, 2007 and 2011
respectively, also said that if he
fails to emerge as the flagbearer
of APC in the 2015 elections, he
will remain in the party and
rally round whoever emerged.

I have shed tears for Nigeria also. We have never had it so bad.

cry cry baby, you want to see your mother!
Shame shame shame, shame!!!!!!!!

emm, General, you will still cry more.

You can even shed blood instead of tears, but the fact still remains that you will never rule Nigeria again!

As for the problem of Nigeria:
It was Lord Luggard who caused the whole problem by forcing on us an impossible union, then understandable elements like you cashed in on the fraud to hold the nations that make up Nigeria to ransom since the so called independence until now.

We have had enough!

You never cry tire bloody sadist! Cry me a river for all I care

Me too, am also crying dat u are still eyeing Nigeria presidential seat. I no dat u will allways lose cos u are born to be a loser but de fact dat u still dream of ruling dis country allway make me cry

Bros,
Will you slaughter us at the slightest excuse and still blame us for crying?
A woman used a piece of paper suspected to have been from a torn Koran to clean her baby, you killed my kinsman, put his head on a spike and paraded the streets of Kano.
A Danish did a cartoon of Mohammed, you turn against my kinsmen and kill them!.
Nigeria was to host Miss World contest, you slaughter my kinsmen,
there was an eclipse of the moon, my kinsmen had to die.
Buhari cried because he was going to loose election and when he lost, you killed my kinsmen.

Haba! Bros, yes we cry! we cry for your primitive instincts. We cry that we are forced by the British into a jungle like Nigeria!
We cry for the independence of our beloved country Biafra.
We cry for freedom!

Please, why is Buhari crying

Buhari will cry again in 2015!!

BUHARI never start to cry yet, you will cry in grammer, pidgin, Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba and even Efik. when you are done crying, your will realise you have no business in leadership of the nation, your state or even local Govt. What a BRUHAHA of a man, it even sounds like a good name for the shameless crying General

Sorry for the evil that your kinsmen have been subjected to. But Buhari cried for the way the nation's poor are being treated like trash yet your ppl still come to Nl to castigate him out of pure hatred and spite.

Buhari has not helped matters by his utterances!
instead of campaigning like a statesman man, he ends up being sentimentally violent in his approach to issues.

We have not forgotten his metaphor of "blood soaking dogs and baboons".

I can assure you that we have 11 states in the South south and South East, Buhari will never get 25% in any of those states.
He needs 25% to win, so he will never win!
