A former Head of State, Maj-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari
(retd.) on Friday said he decided to retire with his
current rank in 1985, to defend and promote the
integrity of the military, instead of promoting himself.
Buhari said this at a public presentation of two books:
“Nigerian military in politics: 1966-2011 and Politics of
transition to civil rule in Nigeria” in Zaria, Kaduna
State.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the books
were published by Head of Political Science
Department, Federal College Education, Zaria, Nuhu
Ramalan
“It was the conviction of our regime that, being the
Head of State and Commander-in-chief of the Armed
Forces, does not mean that you are the overall
General.
“My ultimate goal as at then was to ensure integrity,
justice, equity, accountability and transparency in the
system. That was why I did away with unnecessarily
promoting myself to General,” he said.
Speaking on the military in politics, Buhari, the
presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive
Change in the 2011 general elections, identified some
weaknesses of the past military regimes to include
corruption and abuse of office.
On politics, he said the incessant military interventions
were due to the failure of politicians to respect the rule
of law, “characterised by massive corruption and lack
of accountability.”
The Chairman of the occasion and former Secretary-
General of the defunct Peoples Redemption Party,
Aliyu Umar, said the books would be resource
materials in the study of Nigerian politics.
“The two books are reflection of the present Nigerian
political scenario,” he said.
In a related development, Buhari has attributed
ineffective leadership in the country to the inability of
government to provide effective education for
Nigerians.
According to the NAN, Buhari said this in Zaria on
Saturday at a conference with the theme “Uniting our
People for Change” organised by a group, Movement
for a Better Future.
“The biggest problem of this ineffective leadership in
Nigeria is education. If you deny people effective
education, you have finished them.
“Education is a vital tool for human existence and
development. God has given Nigeria both material and
human resources but we have not used them
effectively.
“We have failed to organise ourselves to harness
these resources. We have been talking about
Sardaunana (Ahmadu Bello), (Obafemi) Awolowo,
(Nnamdi) Azikwe and Tafawa Balewa as great leaders;
why can’t we emulate them?” Buhari asked.
In his remark, Governor Ra’uf Aregbesola of Osun
State appealed to Nigerians to elect credible
candidates into various elective positions who would
help to develop the country.
The governor, who was the special guest of honour at
conference, stressed the need for Nigerians to work
together to actualise national cohesion, a bright and
progressive future.

You were booted out of the army and the sit of head of state.

Stop spewing rubbish.

That's a well disciplined soldier.


CHECK OUT MY SIGNATURE!!!

LeOstrich:
You were booted out of the army and the sit of head of state.

Mr. Head-In-the-Sand (Ostrich), he was the Head of State and every power to bestow on himself any rank he wished. But did not because he believed it has to be earned.

Hate Buhari all you can but you can't take from him years of discipline, sincerity, incorruptibility and more. For a man that has been under scrutiny and his adversaries being in the highest of Power - Yet nothing tangible can be found to destroy him - I doff my hat to Buhari and millions of other Nigerians that have chosen the path of honor, patriotism and honesty.

Sai Buhari.

Sai Buhari.

The only former military General and only former head of state who has refused to join other military head of states and generals in PDP to steal or benefit from national treasury since 1999. This man (Buhari) is a man of honor and integrity.

May God bless Buhari. He is truly unblemished.
