Following the ratification of President Goodluck Jonathan‘s
candidature by the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the North
has resolved to adopt the presidential candidate of the All
Progressive Congress (APC), Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) as its
consensus candidate for 2015.
Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) and the Northern Elders’ Forum
(NEF) on Friday said the North had resolved to support a northern
candidate and since APC has fielded a candidate from the region,
they have no alternative than to support him.
They said, “President Jonathan shouldn’t be in the contest in the first
place if the principle of zoning that was created by his party and the
constitution is respected. He shouldn’t be a candidate by now.”
The Chairman of ACF, Ibrahim Coomasie, a former Inspector General
of Police, said, “First of all, the APC presidential primary and the PDP
convention have clearly shown those who are ready to practice
democracy. The APC’s primary was held smoothly without any
rancour and all of them have come out to accept the result. That is a
good omen for our democracy. I hope INEC will emulate that.
“So, we are congratulating Gen. Muhammadu Buhari who has been
winning primaries all through. Only when it comes to the general
elections, he is always rigged out. We have also seen what happened
in the other party.
“I am the Chairman of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) and we
have said it before and we are reiterating it that, we are going to
support a northern candidate. And since APC has voted a northern
candidate, we are going to support him 100 per cent. So, Buhari is our
candidate for the 2015 election.”
He, however, said if Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, had won
the APC primary, they would still have supported him because he was
born and brought up in the North and has shown interest in the
development of Nigeria and the region in particular.

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 Buhari era (1983-85) 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, Buhari had been Governor of one of the Northern States (under Obasanjo’s Military government) as well as Minister for Petroleum. He later served as Chairman of PTF under 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 IBB!

- 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).

- JJ Rawlings of Ghana took over 2 years 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 12 years of the PDP.

- 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 an 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 North 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 ended up vindicating him! The man who was asked by OBJ 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 misappropriating $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 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 rumors about 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. When you cast your vote for the BUHARI, you would have cast one vote for a honest men.

Now that you know better, will you please educate another person BY FORWARDING THIS TO AS MANY AS YOU CAN? THIS IS MORE THAN A CAMPAIGN.IT'S JUST THE TRUTH!!!

Well... few months to find out..
