OPINION: Why Buhari's Candidacy Will Not Sell In 2015(Modified) by Nobody: 11:33am On Aug 13, 2014 |
[s]1. Buhari Truncated A Democratic Process and Never Put Machinery In Place To Handover To Democratic Government. 2. Buhari does NOT support Press Freedom. He Instituted DECREE 4 that bar journalists from "unfavorable" reporting. He even went as far as Jailing Journalists. 3. Buhari Stand on corruption is hypocritical. The Same Buhari that Jailed Politicians for corruption is the same Buhari that publicly said "ABACHA did NOT steal" " That Abacha was supposed to be celebrated". Buhari, in 2007, described the allegations of looting against Abacha as “baseless”, because according to him, “ten years after Abacha, those allegations remain unproven because of lack of facts”. . The same Buhari that accused the ruling Party of Institutionalizing corruption. 4. Buhari is Not a democrat. He doesn't believe in democratic process nor primaries. Buhari would rather have people step down for him in the Primaries (cite 2007 when all aspirants including Sani Yerima and co were asked to step down on the day of Convention). It led to the exit of Atahiru Bafarawa where he formed the DPP and contested on its platform. Gen. Buhari quitted ANPP and formed the CPC in 2010/11. The reason was because he doesn't want to go through Primaries with a "Small Boy"(Referring to then Kano State Gov Ibrahim Shekarau that ended up flying the flag). I am certainly sure that Buhari will want to be adopted as "consensus" of APC which will SPLIT the party. 5. Buhari is OLD. Nigeria need change in Leadership. 65yrs plus should have no business in 2015 Presidential Poll. there should be paradigm shift. A 70plus years Buhari will seldom sell to the Youths. 6. General Buhari was a Military Leader in early 80s(when I wasn't even born). Times has changed. Leadership dynamics of Yesteryears is different from now. The APC should replicate what is done in Lagos State. Allow the younger generation fly ticket. A man like Buhari will most likely ban facebook and twitter because his antecedents is in conflict with criticism. 7. Buhari's WAI saw Nigerian Adults being whipped to submission. Maybe it was due to his military background but I for one can't sacrifice my freedom of choice for anything. It is of great concern that he hasn't find cause to apologise for that act. His aides even justified it. 8. The opinion is an honest one of a Nigerian Citizen. I expect APC to be different in approach from the norm to reflect the "CHANGE" that it preaches.[/s] MODIFIED....influence by further reading!!!!! #Barcanista 13 Likes 2 Shares |

MODIFIED....influence by further reading!!!!! 1. From what I found out Buhari didn't participate in the coup. It shaped my opinion. IBB, Abacha, Gusau, David Mark, Onoja were the players. 2.My Opinion and disgust for Decrees 2 and 4 remains the same. 3.Buhari said the monies was found in the account of his family members and not him. Though I respect his view but don't agree with him. 4. That is common to World Leaders which is wrong. Even Jonathan wants automatic ticket. Obj made sure he got every "informal" nominations in 2003. Obama never had a rival in Democrat party in 2012, same with Bush in Republican Party, 2004. 5. Age is not a criteria for leadership but competence and vision. American had 70plus Presidents so was Mandela 6. On a second thought it makes no sense. Was driven by fear of the unknown 7. Yes, I'm against public humiliation but was common in the military. However, we still have security forces humiliate civilians without the Civilian Govt acting. Eg Soldiers givin ppl frog jump, brt buses burning etc. 8. My Sincere Opinion NB: This i§ a true reflection of my vÍews and invalidates the first. 2 Likes |

8. The opinion is an honest one of a Nigerian Citizen. I expect APC to be different in approach from the norm to reflect the "CHANGE" that it preaches. And that is the problem. The APC is NOT in any way different from the PDP it loves to castigate ever so often. The APC WILL produce a Muslim Northerner as their presidential candidate, and it will be their undoing in 2015. 11 Likes |

If some goon is still thinking like we in the 70s....good luck to him. Is there a country that have not had its fair share of military dictatorship?? This is the 20th century and a Democratic government. A lot of things have changed. As a matter of fact we have a commando as a president presently in a Democratic government... Or didnt he order the clamp down on newspapers by the military, closure of airports cos of opposition, arrest and detainment of opposition, unlawful use of military for intimidation... Amongst others. This OP is a big time hypocrite.....NEXT! 9 Likes |

barcanista: 1. Buhari Truncated A Democratic Process and Never Put Machinery In Place To Handover To Democratic Government. Wrong, Buhari didn't stage the coup, he was HOS for 2yrs, his back 2 democracy plans can't be assessed properly. 2. Buhari does NOT support Press Freedom. He Instituted DECREE 4 that bar journalists from "unfavorable" reporting. He even went as far as Jailing Journalists. military decree brother, military. Question 3? i can't tell, besides we only hear of loot returned but nothing substantial to show. Btw buhari can't be right on everything Question 4? Shekarau has done it again and he is now minister under the same gej he used to critize. Question 5? John mc Cain is 77yrs old so many other examples out there Question 6? A certain tinubu was there to lay a decent foundation for fashola. Nigeria is a big mess no time for learners, ask gej. Question 7? Same people that were whipped under military law would have gotten harder punishment from a civil court. indiscipline is a recipes for disaster. That is the story of Nigeria today, crimes we will not commit outside nigeria, we do them freely here. Question 8 Corruption and bad economic policy is the norm and that is what buhari will change. 12 Likes |

barcanista: I will rather prefer your opinion on the Original Post rather than comment on religion/tribe. I understand you and agree with most of what you said. I was only considering the reality on the ground, which is that APC has not distinguished itself as a party such that it would consider MERIT above ethnic/religious considerations, as you have urged them to. I'd prefer that the party elect a candidate based on programmes, policies and track record - but I'm pessimistic about that happening. PS: Buhari didn't STAGE the 1983 coup. |
