Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) retired General Muhammadu Buhari if elected he would end Boko Haram insurgency like he ended the Maitatsine crisis in the 1980s.

Buhari disclosed this in a video of his meeting with youth volunteers in Lagos released yesterday.
In the video, Buhari spoke on issues ranging from the economy, stabilizing the naira, politics and his stewardship at the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF).

He also repeated his call for peaceful elections and for citizens to protect their votes. He spoke about how his regime’s success in fighting domestic terrorism.

He reiterated his decisiveness in dealing with enemies of the Nigerian state, recounting an episode when Chadian troops killed Nigerian soldiers, during the regime of Hissene Habré.  This was despite the fact that Nigeria was giving petroleum products to Chad at that time.

“Unfortunately for him, (Habré) those Nigerian soldiers were under me,” Buhari  said, to laughter from the audience.

Speaking on Maitatsine crisis, the former head of state, recounted how the problem recurring after the leader of the group was first exiled by the then Emir of Kano, then returned and was killed by the police.

When the group resurrected in Adamawa, Buhari said: “I flew into Adamawa as head of  state, and that was the last you heard of Maitatsine.”

In the video Buhari took his time to explain his role in events like Nigeria’s observer status in the OIC, the so-called $2.8 billion ‘missing’ funds during his time at the NNPC, his time at the PTF, the famous 53 suitcases, among others.

GMB you made promises when you overthrew Shagari's government,hope you're not making empty promises like back then. You abused us back then saying we're not disciplined and your uniform men flogged us on the street like dogs...hope you're not here to finish what you started? You became corrupt and power drunk back then one reason why your government was overthrown.You denied freedom to the press hence ruled without being challenged by the opposition. Sir,we want to believe you've changed but you have made dangerous utterance that suggested the contrary and everybody knows word of mouth reveal whats in the heart. We want to believe you can solve common man's problems in Nigeria...we're still waiting for you to tell us how. What do you want to do and how do you want to do it? What will happen if you eventually loose the election? Will there be bloodshed as your supporters did the other time you lost? We have questions needing your answer. Yes we want change but we want to know the type that you're bringing. Some People say you're a BH sponsor,am sure you're not but your comments in the past seems to sympathize with them tho you later comment to the contrary. Sir, President Goodluck's administration is not really the worst in the history of the nation.Infact,some school of taught said if it were not for the BH activities his administration would've been fair to say the least as his Transformation Agenda is showing some reasonable improvement. I never get on train before untill now though its not the fastest there is. Roads are taking shapes amidst other cool stuffs. Well we know the current administration is not the best we can get,so if you're bringing change hope its not only BH you want to stop? We have other sectors as well like corruption and our finances which you fail to deal with before you were overthroned no thanks to general IBB. Sir,I will vote for you if you can answer the common questions we common Nigerians are asking. We even thought its better you dont contest again if you loose this one so that young and vibrant minds can come onboard to chat the course of this nation. Another suggestion of mine is if you dont win,you can as well make your impact felt in the coming administration by giving advice rather than thinking you can only affect the nation only by ruling it. Am sitting on the fence waiting for which one to choose between your change and president GEJ's transformation agenda because I know I have to choose wisely! Thanks.

God bless GMB
made it
frist

Hnmmmm. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Thank God I made it to front page .... ipabs I sight you...noting concern me about the matter

SAI BUHARI


BUHARI TILL 2019

ok. next stop.....BH

Fishy

Buhari is an extremist, a coupist, a bigot, and an oppressor, he's an old desperate jihadish

*1 in 2003 general election, buhari urged Muslims to vote for a Muslim who will rule according to the law of sharia, that makes him an extremist,

*2 he overthrew a democratic elected president, that makes him a coupist,

*3 after a successful coup, he sent the then president shagari a northern to home and jailed his vice a southern, that makes him a bigot,

*4 at the age of 73 he's still contesting elections without minding the future of the youths, that makes him an oppressor,

*5 he promised to make life miserable for none Muslims in 2011, he's supporters took arm and started killing none Muslims when he lost the 2011 poll, that makes him a jihadish

Nigerians Vote Wisely...And stop shouting 'CHANGE' that same word killed hundreds of Christians in the North after 2011 election.

Buhari is the darling of terrorist since his hey days in the military. No wonder these people love him so much they want him as mediator. But why do terrorist always choose Buhari?

While it may be true that Buhari has issues.... unfortunately Jonathan hasn't proved himself worthy to deserve another chance. Besides change is constant; it is inevitable in human affairs.

What ever happened to this guy tho'
He travel go village or he lost his job

The maitatsine riots was led by Marwa Muhammad in 1982 at kano.. It affected States like maiduguri, adamawa, Sokoto and kaduna..
I believe they share the same ideology with boko-haram.. If GMB could squash the group in a very short period of time, I know he can do same with boko-haram..
For this singular reason, I will vote for GMB.. This senseless killing has to stop because I have experience a tip of the iceberg of what boko-haram stands for and its devilish ideology..
Sai GMB /Osibanjo 2015...

That is non of my business. When you are ready to put your skills and knowledge in the military to work with the incumbent government to end the crises in the north only then will i take you serious. Same applies to all the retired generals, do something to save this country.

Hmmm. Perhaps he could do it again. Nonetheless, I don't expect anyone to effect drastic change as long as he/she is human.

Okey now, let us see if you can apply that in the bh menace if elected.

Shekau, your time is up.

he ll surely lose again!

So?? mtsheeewwwww
