Steve Shephards, an ABC News reporter had this to say of Buhari in a news report in 1983.

"Nigeria today owes foreign creditors more than $14billion. Unemployment is rampant. Civil servants have been going without pay. Last year in an effort to deal with rising discontent, president Shagari expelled some 1.7 million Ghanains who had been brought into Nigeria as workers but began competing with locals for jobs as the economy started to decline.

And last week Shagari announced a new austerity budget which would have cut food subsidies and other government programmes. That apparently was too much for the military. Its leaders believe Nigerian civilian rulers were not just incompetent but also corrupt. It overthrew Shagari and promised to clean up the government.

Nigerian new leader GMB is known to Western observers. He is considered intelligent, conservative and free from corruption. A western oriented pragmatist. For that reason, US officials have hope that the new Nigerian government will work to maintain good relations with the US.

Because of its influence in Africa and because of its oil, those relations are considered extremely important here.

Steve Shepards. ABC News, The State Department."

The difference between the fans and supporters of Buhari and those of other politicians is that they support the General not because they have been financially induced to do so or look forward to some form of material gratification, but because they believe in his dream and vision for a better, proud and more prosperous Nigeria.

God bless Buhari!!

And what happened afterwards? Nigeria got worse under Buhari. Imagine our president calling us indisciplined. Which other government talk down to its people with disdain?

The fact is that Buhari is a serial loser. Lost three contests in a row. He is not getting younger. And he has ruled before. Nigeria is not made up of only Buhari. He should respect himself and retire.

It's a shame that some people are campaigning for someone who subverted the will of the people 31 years ago to ruin Nigeria again. Buhari the coupist and dictator does not like Nigerian youths. If he did, he would give them a chance. What will he be discussing with his grand children?

What ideas does he even have? What is his vision for Nigeria? Do you expect a near octagenarian to have sny vision?

He truncated democracy and never had any plan to return power to civilians in the 18 months he held sway as a maximum ruiner. Contrast it with Abdulsalam Abubarkar who midwifed a transition program in just 9 months.

Anyhow, he will lose again. His candidature makes the job easy for PDP. He is their custormer. I only pray that he doesn't send his boys in the north to kill southern corps members in tbe north and loot southerners shops there when he loses again.

Only those inured to lies wouldn't know that is the case. Buhari is not a money bag and can't afford the expenses of a typical Nigerian politician. All he has to offer is his service, and his integrity does all the marketing for him!!

C'mon bro... Oyinlola did his best during his first term, he was just too desperate to make his second term then. In politics, you have no permanent friend or enemy!
Buhari is a Muslim, SW should provide Christian or better still Ameachi for VP or do you think the SW will vote APC without any tangible position?

Why not Fashola / Buhari? Must the Northerners come first in this country? Must they exhibit their 'born to rule' mentality? I dont have a problem with the candidates, i'll like to see Buhari perform his magic in a democracy, i just dont want a Northerner as my President until they learn to co-exist peacefully with other tribes and understand that Nigeria is for all of us.
