I Can Vote For Buhari Against My Father, Says Tam David-west by Nakarey(m): 10:30am On Feb 21, 2015 |
Eminent virologist and former oil minister, Professor Tam David-West is a dyed-in-the-wool supporter of Gen Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC). This is what he had to say about president Goodluck jonathan and amiable General Muhammadu Buhari. Excerpt: About President Goodluck Jonathan, it seems you have relaxed your criticism of him lately. I have not relaxed on him. I don’t know Jonathan, I’ve not met him, and I don’t want to meet him. Doctorate degree does not make one a good leader or President. What is Ph.D? We are so interested in titles. ‘Oh, Ph.D! For the first time, Nigeria is having two graduates as President and Vice President’. I came out again and said, that does not mean anything. President Jimmy Carter of America had two Ph.Ds, Jimmy Carter had Ph.D in Nuclear Physics and Ph.D in Chemistry. Was he the best President? Leadership is a different thing. I had told him before, it was in my article. If Jonathan is paying me N2 million a day, I will not work for him because Jonathan doesn’t impress me as someone who exercises the brains God has given him well. I’ll give you example, fuel subsidy, fuel subsidy. I said there is no fuel subsidy, they abused me. Finally, what do we find now? Trillions were paid, it is all fraud! And yet, look, the Finance Minister said they were going to spend billions again on fuel subsidy. I said, Jonathan, why can’t you build refineries, build four refineries before you leave, we will immortalize you for ever. As you build refineries, price of petroleum will come down and everybody will praise you. If General Buhari were elected in 2011, if they did not rig him out, one of the things he would have done in his one hundred days in office was to bring back fuel price to N40 per litre. If you like, you can close your petrol station and it will remain closed. But Jonathan would say, ‘fuel subsidy, no going back’, ‘N5,000 note, no going back’, Bamanga Tukur for PDP chairmanship or no other person.’ You don’t talk like that in a democracy, no going back, no going back, no going back, no going back and yet… Why I don’t like or support him is that, he is not a natural President, he is a parochial man. If not, why should Jonathan be comfortable with the bunch of sycophants that call themselves South- South Forum, South-South this, South- South that, who claim to support him? They even said South-South Forum supported him for fuel subsidy removal. They don’t even know what it means. They don’t know the dynamics. Jonathan does not realise that he is not doing well, if he does not realise, how can he improve? I’m objective. I will never support him! You seem to love Buhari so much, what are your reasons for that? Oh yes? Because, you see, I worked with him. Why do I love Buhari? First, any leader that is not corrupt is my man. Buhari is immaculately clean. The Forward to my two books on him was by General Abdulsalami Abubakar. Buhari is the only leader who has told his detractors, tell the world about my corruption, but they couldn’t. Babangida locked up Buhari for 40 months, he was so wicked. Buhari’s mother died while he was in detention. He came out and said, okay, tell the world about my corruption. Obasanjo was digging into Buhari, he set up probe of PTF. [b]They probed Buhari so much but refused to publish the report, but Buhari said, publish the report. I love Buhari, he is honest, straightforward, clean, and he loves Nigeria. I can fight for Buhari anytime, any day. In fact, if my father is contesting an election against Buhari, I will vote against my father[b]. Why? I will say my father, you are not meant for politics, I know you are as clean as Buhari, but you cannot do it (prolonged laughter). sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=105858 #march4GMB #sai baba |

I have enormous respect for this great prof of virology. He has said it all, he has nothing against GEJ except his corruption antecedents. |

Corruption is the reason Nigeria is still a third world country in 2015. We need a leader that can fight corruption not the one who encourages it. That's why GEJ has to go. # I choose GMB |
