Who Is Afraid Of General Muhammadu Buhari? by cupidFlint(m): 8:46pm On Oct 18, 2014 |
Comrade Reuben Msugh Mbator wrote...... 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 General Muhammadu Buhari era (1984-85) 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, General Muhammadu Buhari had been Governor of one of the Northern States (under General Olusegun Obasanjo’s Military government) as well as Minister for Petroleum. He later served as Chairman of PTF under General Sani 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 Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida regime! ��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). ��Jerry John 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 almost 16yrs of the PDP rule. ��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 most of his counterparts (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 country 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 Olusegun Obasanjo 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 misappropriatin g $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 and Corruption 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 General Muhammadu 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. Now that you know better, will you please educate anothers BY FORWARDING THIS TO AS MANY AS YOU CAN!!! 2 Likes |
