WHO IS BUHARI? I write this because of millions of
Nigerians who are
below 30 and who constitute a significant chunk of
our voting
population. This is the ICT generation that is
largely ignorant about the
events of the Buhari era (1983-85) and so can be
misinformed and
misled by needless propaganda. I have sat with
many in the under-30
bracket and those slightly above who only have
faint recollections of the
Buhari era and the level of ignorance about that era
is amazing. Before
being MILITARY Head of State, Buhari had been
Governor of one of the
Northern States (under Obasanjo’s Military
government) as well as
Minister for Petroleum. He later served as Chairman
of PTF under
Abacha. Please consider the following unassailable
facts: ·He birthed and
supervised the establishment of our existing
refineries. ·There was no
religious crisis while he was Head of State. It
started under his successor
IBB! ·In his time as Head of State he reduced
inflation from 23% to 4%,
by fiscal discipline and a homegrown economic
team (not achieved under
any other era, even military). ·JJ Rawlings of Ghana
took over 2yrs before
him, and killed all the corrupt leaders, while Buhari
only sentenced the
corrupt leaders here to prison. ·Under his watch as
PTF Chairman, what
he did in road construction in that short period
hasn't been matched by
12yrs of the PDP. ·Hospitals and universities
around the country never
witnessed as much benefits as they got from the
PTF from any
government after or before his time. ·Despite
serving in senior capacity
in the oil sector, first as Minister for Petroleum and
then Petroleum
Trust Fund, Buhari has no petrol station, much less
a rig, refinery or an
oil block like so many of our leaders. ·He could
have retired into
nauseating opulence like an IBB or Danjuma or
even OBJ but didn't.
·Instead of hobnobbing with the high and mighty,
he has cast his lot with
the ordinary man most of who follow him out of
hope and belief in his
values. People who know him have said of him...
"All I need from Buhari
is his word, I can take it to the bank". ·He is the
only politician in the
North today who fills rallies without renting a
crowd. The Kaduna rally of
2nd March is eloquent proof! ·He refused to collect
an allowance while
serving as Chairman of the PTF because he said
since he was already
drawing a pension from government, his
conscience would not allow him
to draw another salary from the purse of the same
government. ·He is
the only former head of state that does not own
property or land in
Abuja . ·Every attempt to rubbish him through
probes in time past eneded
up vindicating him! The man who was asked by
OBJ to take over the
running of PTF before it was scrapped with the aim
of probing and
indicting Buhari, was the one who ended up being
prosecuted for
misappropriating $100m of PTF funds! Buhari
again, was vindicated ·He
has OPENLY challenged those who accuse him of
religious
fundamentalism to come out and show proof. No
one has till today, taken
up the challenge. His personal driver of many years
is a Christian from
Plateau State ! ·His government initiated the War
Against Indiscipline that
has made environmental cleanliness, queuing up,
not urinating by the
roadside etc features of our national life even till
today Does it then
surprise you why corrupt people would be
spreading such heinous
rumours about Buhari? He is a threat to them and
they know what he is
capable of doing to corruption and corrupt people
when he comes into
office! So shine your eyes and make the right
decision. If honesty and
probity are the things you want for Nigeria ,now is
the time to choose
right. When you cast your vote for the BUHARI, you
would have cast one
vote for a honest men. Now that you know better,
will you please educate
another person

And you forgot to add that he and his boys toppled an elected cilivian administration of Shehu Shagari in 1983!
Don't worry, someone will provide you his own dossier on your weeping general

Well said clap for buhari,i knew all this b4 now.but u did nt tell us he is allso king of all radicals and all so a prophet, who prophesyed that the north is (prepared) to make nigeria ungovernable if power leaves the north, and it is comming pass. Everybody has advantage and disadvantages bt in a situation were the disadvange is higher than the advantages, then i make use of my brain. What i am trying to say is that i rather vote 4 mohammad abbubakar ibin shakau(a terrorist) than buhari who pretends that he wants my well being bt yet he is one of them.a bloody fanatic.

All the people who served under Buhari corruptly enriched themselves with no consequences whatsoever.

He has no oversight capability on the activities of his subordinates.

Can we list the number and the names of corrupt officials who worked under Buhari when he was incharge of PTF that were sentenced to prison.

Ngwakwe:

So in your skewed point of view, its Buhari's duty to Prosecute the people under him?
What happened to his employer who he reports to?
Name just one of the corrupt people who worked under him during his time as the PTDF chairman.

Ngwakwe:

He has no oversight capability on the activities of his subordinates.

Please can you prove how its possible for a head of an organisation who was not found to be corrupt can have subordinates who will plunder the resources of such organisation? Was his job reviewed separately away from the overall organisation?

Ngwakwe:

Can we list the number and the names of corrupt officials who worked under Buhari when he was incharge of PTF that were sentenced to prison.

You are the one who knows all the corrupt officials who worked under him. PLEASE NAME JUST 1 OF THEM OR FOREVER SHUT YOUR TRAP.

Sometimes we are overtaken by blind ethno-religious views that it makes the brain work in reverse mode!
Your points are baseless and at most very juvenile.

Happy Sunday to you Mr Ngwake the MOD.
