Goodluck with your choice.

The bloodletting under the "meek Mumu" is the 2nd highest since the Civil war though. undecided

Buhari is the one that is soaking the land with blood. He likes to soak the dogs and baboons with blood. He knows about boko haram and he should tell us when he is going to stop the bloodletting.

buhari is here to become our president.

Buhari can be your president in the caliphate republic of Buharistan with Sambissa Forest as its headquarters but he can't be the president of Nigeria. He is an extremist and a reactionary.

Nigerians are more wiser now and they are not buying the same old stories you people have been selling to them.Buhari is my Man,and for the fact that he had the guts to jailed some corrupt people in the past, I want him to come and chase the cabals this government says are untouchable. Reduce corruption and Nigerian problem will be 70% solved. Buhari is the tested and trusted candidate to do so in the forthcoming election.

It is still relevant today to know that Buhari wants to soak the dogs and baboons in blood win or lose. Don't waste your vote on a bigot. He is not corrupt free as you guys portray. He was alleged to have stolen 2.8 billion dollars in 1977. He was invited to Oputa panel to clear the air about this loot but he refused.

2.8 billion dollars in 1977 is worth over 100 billion now. That he chooses to portray a modest lifestyle does not mean he is not corrupt. If I have the amount of money he allegedly stole, I would maintain a modest lifestyle too. He is fighting corruption now because if everyone steals 2.8 billion from Nigeria like he allegedly did, the country will be bankrupt in a day. His fight against corruption is selective anyway.

He already got his own share of the loot. He will just allow his acolytes to steal like he did at PTF and 53 suite cases supervised by his Aides when he was the head of state. He will just target his enemies and harras them.

If you think he will Fight Atiku, Tinubu and the ilk for their ill gotten wealth and opulent lifestyle, I got news for you he won't. He will empower the Fulani Herdsmen to continue to soak the dogs and baboons in blood.

They are alreading running amok, raping, robbing, pillaging all over middle belt and southern Nigeria with the tacit support of Buhari. Buhari's election will definitely exacerbate the siege of the terrorists ilk of the Fulani Herdsmen. These bunch of goons are more insidious than boko haram. They roam free in southern Nigeria while boko haram is confined to Sambissa forrest for the most part.

Tell this to the marines. If you have a relative killed by Buhari's goons in 2011 after he lost the election, you won't be diverting attention from Buhari. I guess you need to provide any evidence that the dogs and the baboons will not be soaked in blood. We need to pre-empt blood thirsty Buhari supporters from soaking more baboons and dogs in blood. Say no to violence and threat to call out the almajiri for a blood bath like your hero has done.

Did Kaita make the threat of dogs and baboon too? No more bloodshed I'd say. Buhari needs to come out and repudiate his reprehensible threat to soak the blood of dogs and baboons in human blood and he needs to do it fast. Otherwise those of us who are opposed to violence will continue the full court press.

The Buhari PTF Days: The Untold Story
By:Law Mefor

The mantra making the rounds now in the opposition circles is: Buhari is the change we need. One wonders how much of this Buhari the orchestrators know. Or are just blinded by the propaganda of the All Progressives Congress (the APC), a political party, which wants everybody to believe its Government will come with it a magic wand to drive away all the nation’s problems in one fell-swoop? What is even more worrisome is that they believe the magician is Muhammadu.Buhari. This puritan image being painted of the man is simply not true, and Nigerians need to be told the truth about the real Buhari, who he is and what he actually represents; and why his returning to power has become such an obscene obsession for him.

Perhaps how Buhari carried out his PTF assignment provides the best vista into his person and the psychoanalytic contents of his character. Three things stand out irrepressibly in the Buahri harrowing PTF days, namely: 1) his concentration of over 70% (in some cases, 100%) of all the PFT projects in the north regardless of the fact that the regions in the south might have greater needs for the PTF intervention; 2) the massive frauds that went unsupervised under his watch, which he publicly acknowledged but claimed ignorance and no benefit; and 3) Buhari’s nepotic choice of consultants who were used to siphon the PTF funds that were uncovered by independent investigative committees.

The Abacha regime created the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) in 1994, headed by Major General Muhammed Buhari, now the standard bearer of the All Progressives Congress (the APC). When, in 1994, the late General Sani Abacha, invited the former Head of State to serve as head of the newly created Petroleum (Special) Trust Fund (PTF), he gave one condition for this acceptance: He must be given the title of Executive Chairman, and he must have a free hand to run the Fund as he deemed fit, without any interference from anyone, including the head of state.

The idea of the PTF was to create a Trust Fund into which all excess income from the price increase would be paid, and from which the Fund would intervene in critical areas of the economy in such a manner as to directly benefit ordinary Nigerians. It is reminiscent of the SURE-P of the Goodluck Jonathan administration.

Buhari’s main qualification was that he was considered to be both a strict disciplinarian and an incorruptible man. And he was for this reason expected to ensure that the fund was properly and justly utilized. But the reality, in the end, was a story of massive and clinical looting of the public treasury, favouritism and nepotism.

Gen. Buhari was Executive Chairman of the Petroleum (Special) Trust Fund from its inception in 1994, to its disbandment by the Obasanjo administration in 1999. According to the report of the Interim Management Committee, which was set up in that year to investigate the affairs of the Fund, the total income accruing to the Fund from mid-1994 to July 1999 was in excess of N181 billion. There were six major areas in which the PTF intervened directly during the period. They were: roads and waterways; supply of educational materials and rehabilitation of educational infrastructure; food supply; health; water supply; and what was curiously termed other projects. Shockingly, Buhari ensured that over 70% of the projects in the 6 categories were done in the north. What a fair-minded officer and gentleman. A nationalist indeed who shall bring the change we all desire!

The management structure of the Fund reflected how Buhari ran the affairs of the country as head of state, when he abdicated all responsibilities to Tunde Idiagbon. He was just satisfied with being the executive chairman, as he was with being called head of state and c-in-c. And, without being accountable to anybody, at the PFT, Buhari exuded the impression he was an alternate Head of State. The same way he kowtowed to Idiagbon was the same way he handed over PTF to a single consultant, Afri-Projects Consortium (APC), as the sole adviser to the Fund. This agency- Afri-Projects Consortium – was given the exclusive power to initiate projects, assess their probable cost, approve the costs, execute the projects, and assess the quality of execution, all alone by Buhari. Nobody questioned their actions and legality of the powers they exercised. After all, puritan Buhari was watching.

Since Buhari was not accountable to even Abacha who appointed him and board set up to supervise the PTF was supplanted by APC at the behest of Buhari, it meant the PTF functioned like a parallel government. The submission of Afenifere to the Human Rights Violations Investigation Commission (HRVIC) led by Justice Chukwudifu Oputa gives an incredible insight into Buhari’s biased and nepotic disposition to the other parts of country. Afenifere noted at the Oputa Panel that nothing else typifies the marginalisation of the Yoruba nay the south than the lopsidedness of the projects carried out by the PTF. Figures from PTF Situation Reports (Vol. 2 Dec. 98) show that the PTF carried on as if there was no Southern Nigeria, as well over 70% of projects were shamelessly taken to the north by Buhari.

For the avoidance of doubt, let us attempt sector by sector analysis here. Of all the roads rehabilitated by the PTF, only 1984.5 kms of roads representing 24% were carried out in the entire South; from where the bulk of the PTF revenue came since the south consumes over 70% of refined petroleum products. Out of this paltry figure, South West got 10.5% while South east and south south combined, got only 13.5% of all the roads, despite being ravaged by erosion and swamps. What this means is that all the Southern States had 4,440.43 kms or 24 per cent of road rehabilitation as against 13,870.47 kms or 76 per cent in the Northern States.

The North-West States of Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara had a lion share of 5020 kms or 27.42% because the Fund’s Chairman, puritan Buhari and the military dictator Sani Abacha were from there; The North-East States of Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe picked 23.48 per cent. This is the zone where Salihijo Ahmed, the late Chief Executive of Afri-Project Consortium APC, the sole consultants that supervised all PTF projects came from.

Afenifere submission showed further the Figures in other sectors were even more callous. For instance, under the National Health and Educational Rehabilitation Programme (NHERP), the entire south had zero allocation in the tertiary programme, while the North picked 100 per cent. In the vocational programme, the entire South had 3% while the North had 97%. In the primary area, the South recorded 12% as against 88% for the North and in the secondary area, it was 14% for the entire South and 86% for the North, again courtesy of the fair-minded general who the APC says will bring the change we need.

The health sector is also similar. For the Teaching Hospitals, the South had 38% while the North had 62%. For the Specialist Hospitals, it was 29% for the South and 71 per cent for the North; in General/State Hospitals the south had 44% while the North had 56%. For health clinics, it was zero for the entire South against the North’s 100 per cent. Under the food supply summary, the South had 17% compared with 83% for the North, Buhari’s zone having 60.54 per cent to itself. Figures do not lie. Why should a fair-minded nationalist run the PTF in such lopsided manner? Is he seeking votes to return to power to wreck more underdevelopment to the southern Nigeria?

On the massive fraud discovered when PTF was disbanded in 1999, the prudent, puritan general only defence was that he was not aware that such massive frauds went on his watch, but that in any event, he could not have benefited personally. What manner of defence! And of cause he has remained poor ever after and had to take a loan from banks to purchase nomination forms. Buhari must believe Nigerians are a bunch of idiots to tell such a story, despite driving a fleet of armored jeeps.

In the end, the independent consultants concluded that of the N181 billion that accrued to PTF in the four and a half years of its existence between July 1994 and July 1999, as much as N25 billion was either stolen or improperly expended, under our anti-corruption crusader!

For a moment let us accept that Buhari was not aware of the massive frauds at the PTF and dis-empowerment of the entire southern Nigeria in his PTF days. This poses even a greater danger because it means a cabal would naturally run the country if he becomes President. If a much younger Buhari could not stop fraud and dis-empowerment of the entire southern Nigeria in the PTF, can an octogenarian Buhari do any better?

The tragedy of the PTF recounted clearly shows that Buhari is an unrepentant dictator who is not prepared to listen to anybody. This explains why he told Achacha he would not account to anyone as Chairman of PTF. Can this same Buhari who ran a parallel Government with PTF, be subjected to democratic practices and ethos, like allowing the Legislature and Judiciary to run as envisaged by the 1999 Constitution?

Is the quintessential principle of separation of powers, which govern democracy be possible in a Buhari Presidency? Aside torpedoing democracy in 1983 for no just cause and being an unapologetic Islamic fundamentalist, Buhari is, by nature and training, anti-democratic. He abhors the press and press freedom. He just cannot bear the fact that all human beings are born equal. To him, there are blue-bloods and talakawas whose place in life is hewing wood and drawing water. The world has moved from such atavism and Nigeria should not be dragged back to it in fulfillment of Buhari’s inordinate ambition.

Buhari's toga of anti corruption is a facade that has been exposed. How about 2.8 billion dollars allegedly stolen by him? How about 25 billion naira allegedly stolen from PTF? His pretensions about being poor are just lame and he is as corrupt as they come. His friends and comrades in arms are the same-corrupt!

He gets paid over 30 million naira a year as a former head of state plus cars and other benefits. However, he acts as if he has taken a vow of poverty but the truth is that he is one of the richest men in the world.

He portends no change. He can only take us back to the locust years of born to rule revanchism where Buharistanians get every thing and the rest get pittance. He wants the days when he can treat the Yoruba like Alimi did to Afonja. Where he could go to Ibadan with his street urchins in lorry loads and warn the Yoruba about not letting the terrorist Fulani Herdsmen run rough shod over them. He wants to be able to sternly tell the Yoruba how the dogs and the baboons will be soaked in Yoruba blood.

It is a foregone conclusion that he will lose. My goal is to stop him and his goons from soaking the dogs and the baboons with the blood of innocent souls like the youth corpers his rabid supporters killed in 2011. If I can stop him and his ilk from killing even one person, I will be fulfilled.

FYI: Buhari knows where the Chibok girls are kept and can release them by asking his boko haram friends to do the right thing. He does not want to do it because he wants to give the false inpression that GEJ can't do anything about them and does not care. Buhari holds the fate of the girls in his hands and he is toying with it.

Re: Buhari's Revanchist Tendencies And Ethnic Bigotry Revisited by Nobody: 6:11pm On Dec 15, 2014
Buhari is running for two positions. He is running as the Calif of the Arewa Islamic Caliphate of Buharistan. His running mate for Calif is the infamous Imam Shekau. He is also running to be the president of Nigeria and rumor has it that he had picked one Osibanjo as running mate.

Buhari knows that he can't win the presidency of Nigeria and GEJ knows he can't defeat Buhari who is the incumbent Calif of the Caliphate. GEJ has since conceded the post of Calif of Buharistan to Buhari but Buhari is not satisfied. He wants it all. He has threatened to soak the blood of dogs and baboons in the blood of Nigerians if they don't vote for him as a president.

Every reasonable person knows that Buhari cannot be president of Nigeria for the simple reason that none of the Califs have democratic ethos. They are usually revanchists and irrational in their belief that they are the messiah. Furthermore, they resort to violence when they cannot get their way.

This is the conundrum Nigerians face. If you vote Buhari for presidency, you get Shekau through the back door, if you don't vote for him he will soak the dogs and the baboons in your blood.

He needs to maintain his position as the Khalif of the Buharistan Caliphate and leave the presidency alone. It is way above his capacity. There is no doubt that he has good intentions but the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
