Buhari After Atiku, IBB And Obasanjo, Is The Most Notorious THIEF! by teufelein(f): 10:55am On Nov 03, 2014
Buhari after Atiku, IBB and Obasanjo, is the most notorious THIEF!

Now, some are lapping up the fable that if Buhari comes in as President, corruption and embezzlement in high places would come to an end. But I think this is like the story of the child and Santa Clause. That reality does not exist now or in the future, because the reality of who Buhari is has been shown to us through his real actions, not by the pictures and images being put out there by his spin-doctors and uncritical supporters. Should I start with the scandal of the N2.8 billion NNPC money that got stolen under his watch as Petroleum Minister and head of NNPC in 1978? Let’s bear in mind that the value of that money in hard currency at the time was more than [size=18pt]$3 billion.[/size] Under intense public pressure, the Shehu Shagari government, which shortly took over thereafter from the military, set up a Senate probe which traced the money to a London Midland Bank account belonging to Buhari from where the money again got missing. No less than a person of the then Senate Majority Leader and Chairman of the Senate probe panel, Dr Olusola Saraki revealed this in an interview with Vera Ifudu of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA). When Ifudu reported this, she was clandestinely sacked by the NTA, but the lady went to court and presented all the evidence and won in a case of wrongful dismissal. Saraki till his death never denied what he told the lady. In the end, they settled Ifudu with a big payout to buy her silence.

Stale story

Worn out story

overused story

A story that's beginning to sound like a broken record

All sorts of stories and accusation against GMB circulating, yet not one shred of evidence.

If there was hard evidence, even SOFT ones, people like ABATI a seasoned journalist, Reno Omokri etc would have long leaked it.

Please go and look for another story to tell.

continue..

But the public pressure for the government to release the report of the probe never ceased during the Second Republic. Indeed, the Shagari government had made all arrangements to release the probe report (which reportedly indicted Buhari over the missing money) after the Christmas and New Year holiday of December 1983 and January 1984, but on December 31st 1983, Buhari conveniently struck in a coup that ousted the civilian government. I know that it’s common to hear Buhari supporters claim he was never part of the coup that brought him to power, but they can tell that to the marines. No one risks their lives planning a coup only to hand over to others who are not part of it. No, the coup planners always have it worked out before execution those going to occupy what position, not least the position of head of state. Anyone who chooses to believe anything otherwise is free to continue to believe whatever it is they want to believe.

Economically, the regime exposed itself as totally inept. Clearly, it was unprepared for government and therefore unprepared for the challenges posed by the Nigerian economy. Unlike the Gowon regime, which recognized its limitations by getting some of the most brilliant Nigerian politicians and administrators of the time to set policies and run affairs (which was one of the reasons we prosecuted a civil war without borrowing a dime and also one of the reasons we did not fall into the trap of Cold War superpowers play), the Buhari regime acted as though it knew it all. Now, we are not only talking ignorance in the rudiments of political economy, but an attitude that is revanchist and anti-national in terms of Buhari’s understanding of how to rejuvenate the national economy. For instance, Buhari was and still is of the belief that the South would need to be ‘slowed down’ so that the North could catch up economically and also in terms of infrastructural development. Of course, he never said this directly publicly, but his policies while in public service point to this. For instance, this was the reason he engineered the scrapping of one of the most foresighted policy of the Lateef Jakande civilian government when he took over, which was the desire to improve transportation in Lagos and regenerate the city, which was the federal capital at the time. In 1982, the Jakande government signed a N700 million contract for the metroline project with a French consortium comprising about 19 firms. The Lagos State government was required to pay only 10 percent of this money, while the balance was to be paid by the consortium. After the overthrow of the civilian government, the Air Commodore Gbolahan Mudasiru government in Lagos State set up three committees to look at the viability of the project and all of them recommended it highly. But the next thing the nation heard was that it had been scrapped and no reason whatsoever was given! Years later, the late Mudasiru spoke publicly about the matter revealing that he had all the intention to continue with it, but that he was specifically directed by General Buhari to cancel it without giving a reason at the time and without consultation with other members of the Supreme Military Council or his cabinet.

When Buhari was questioned about this during his last presidential campaign, his spokesperson, Yinka Odumakin initially said Buhari knew nothing about the cancellation of the rail project, as it was entirely the decision of the Madisiru government in Lagos State. But later, Buhari himself contradicted his spokesperson when he addressed his associates thereafter, claiming he indeed cancelled the project, but only did so, because his government did not want to take more loans or devalue the naira. At some other time, he said he cancelled it, because the contract was over-inflated. He presented no evidence whatsoever for this claim and could not explain why the cancellation of this project ultimately cost the government about $100 million comprising money already paid by the Lagos State Government as part of its commitment to the deal and also monies paid in damages and compensation to the French firms as a result of legal wrangles over the cancelation. That tells us the extent Buhari would go to pursue an agenda to deprive Lagos or the South what he thinks would give it economic advantage, even where the value can be clearly seen by all. Today, 30 years after, we are still discussing the metroline for Lagos.

Atiku has better ideas in running a modern economy. His model of private sector driven economy with the state playing a supervisory and interventionist role is an idea that is tested and trusted globally. I was reading Buhari’s interview in The Cable recently and he was busy talking about the government building oil refineries. That model of economy is obsolete. Nigeria of today doesn’t need a Buhari. He doesn’t possess current ideas and he is totally disconnect from the private sector of the economy
