Caseless:
After reading everything, i said two prayers. They are: 1.may God push gej/pdp out next year.
2. May God give GMB/APC victory against the killer party of Nigeria.
NB: he is the only officer in the nigerian army to have controlled 3 divisions out of 4. You cant beat that!!!
He's such an intelligent man.

Arch1:
Nice one, but i am not satisfied with the response he gave about fiscal federalism and resource control

PassingShot:
This interview shows that Buhari is even more clever and in touch with economy than his haters would want us to believe.

Give us Buhari with a Fashola and Nigeria will be on her way to greatness again.

Obiagelli:
Why is this thread not on the front page?
Mynd44, mukina2, obinoscopy. Please front page, let Nigerians read and decide

If only APC could visit Abeokuta and give that guy brown envelop just as the PDP does.

atlwireles:
Who is to control what?

That is the question this election is going to answer. I want to thank Buhari for this interview.

ProfCorruption:


It seems Buhari does not believe in fiscal federalism.

SamIkenna:
Resource control and restructuring got him off the rail.

GMB is arguably the most honest contender in 2015 election but he'll be up against some heck of immovable forces. If we were previously unsure about his stand on some issues that we believe must be addressed for Nigeria to actually be make a headway, now we're in the clear.

He wants to secure Nigeria - fine. But he also wants a continuation of the current vile and repulsive economic and political structure.

Its either he doesn't understand what resource control and political restructuring are or hes playing dumbo. Either way, too bad for him. Couple that with the fact that he comes from a region that never wants Nigeria restructured, then you get the idea that, perhaps, he's not dumbo after all.

SamIkenna:


What makes him intelligent? He couldn't answer simple questions on resource control and political restructuring and you call that intelligence? Controlling 3 out of 4 divisions...... Asari Dokubo, Joseph Kony, Jonas Savimbi, or even Shekau has at one time or the other controlled units that arguably are more complex than Nigerian divisions that can't measure up to Rwanda's.

A man that stole the mandate my parents gave to a democratically elected govt over 20 something yrs ago came back in this day and age with a story of how he commanded 3 divisions and some of us want to roll out the drums?

GMB would be, at best, a lab cleaner in his youth in an ideal world. Reading through his answers I thought it was my peers and I practicing for one of our primary school quizzes that intermittently took place at Saint Joseph primary school, Isinweke. Believe me, we sure did better than him.

Obiagelli:

In my opinion, a lot of things needs to be put in place before you can get fiscal federalism, many of those things were mentioned by the general. I am glad the general didn't promise what he can't achieve in one term

ProfCorruption:


I agree, without diversification of Nigeria's economy, there is little chance that politicians that matter would allow fiscal federalism. The immediate concern is to fight corruption, grow the economy, devolve more powers to the state and move gradually towards true federalism. But you need to acknowledge this to move in that direction. Whichever way, I rate him the least toxic of all declared contenders.


As a digression, do you think Buhari can win APC ticket?

Obiagelli:

Quick question, should resource control be gradual or instant?
The general spoke about diversifying the economy, agriculture and mining, after which we can talk of resource control. Let every region, every state and local government develop the ability to stand on its own before you can hand them control else some regions will be at great disadvantage

Obiagelli:

Has gej or the pdp given you resources control? Nigerians like lies sha. Even pib is in the pipeline for years now.
God bless buhari for being honest

Demdem:


U dey mind these ones, what the killer party hasn't been able to give for years they want immediate commitment from the General.
To be honest, he was sincere and spoke excellently well.
He may not be the best Nigeria can offer but he is surely the best available man capable of chasing the curse currently in aso rock away.
