.......... Says, I’m fit, ready for March poll
The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari, on Thursday said he would not grant amnesty to Boko
Haram insurgents if elected President next month.
He also said he is fit and ready for the poll.
The former head of state assured the audience that Nigeria will not break.
Buhari, who made the submissions during a question and answer session at
Chatham House in London, said he would also personally lead the battle
against Boko Haram.
He said: “I think I will not go to that office with that promise. I have said
in my address how, at least 13,000 Nigerians have been killed by Boko
Haram, how millions of them have been displaced and are now kept in
different camps called Internally Displaced Persons camps.
“Schools have been burnt, there is so much disruption to normal life, people
could not farm and where they are able to farm, they cannot harvest. So,
granting amnesty to Boko Haram will be unfair to the system.
“We will secure Nigeria. We must have the time to collect enough
intelligence to make sure that those that we got are given the chance in
civil courts to be properly prosecuted.”
On his alleged health challenge, Buhari said he is fit as fiddle and battle
ready for the March poll.
He added: “I am very happy that I have been able to visit 35 states out of
the 36. I haven’t broken down even though somebody announced my death
yesterday (Wednesday).
“I had a call from Maiduguri that somebody rushed into a friend’s house
crying and said they have just announced that Buhari has died in hospital
in London and so, he called me and I laughed my head off.
“Certainly, I will be expecting too much if I don’t expect people to wish me
dead. But I am very pleased that I am fit, the doctors have declared me fit
and I am going back for the final onslaught.”
Responding to a question, Buhari said Nigeria cannot afford to break up
again as a nation because its nationalities have bonded.
He said: “I appreciate the full import of this question. We have a problem
as a people and if you are following my statements, I warned about six
months ago that we have to be careful of Somalialization of Nigeria.
“We are a group of nationalities like some people wants to call it. We are
very different people, religiously, culturally and from different background
and we happen to have come together after the amalgamation by the
British in 1914.
“We find it difficult to separate now because there have been so many
inter-marriages and some, we have become interdependent. Our constitution
has been very deliberate in respecting our sensitivities and the freedom
given in that constitution is a guarantee that we will certainly manage our
differences.
“We are making a lot of efforts to make sure that we continue to
understand ourselves and accommodate ourselves in spite of whatever
impression is created among ourselves especially when people are talking so
much about religion.”
The APC presidential candidate also spoke on his top three priorities to
attract foreign investment.
Buhari said: “Nobody will take his investment to an environment that is
insecure. That is why security is going to be one of our major priorities. We
will secure the country and efficiently manage it. That efficient
management is stopping corruption and getting jobs among others.
“The way of attracting investors is to persuade investors the world over
that Nigeria is poised to cooperate with them by securing the country and
helping them recoup their investment. It is not a question of having a free
ride. They don’t invest for humanitarian reasons, but so that they can
recover their capital and make some profit because that is what sustains
them.
“So, we have to think very quickly and put in place assurances and improve
the system so that the environment can be suitable for investment.”

Wait a minute man... You can hoodwink them in Chatham with your lofty promises but Nigerians will never forget how you tacitly demanded for amnesty (special treatment) for your boys in 2013. I'll quote you, just so your minions on nairaland will not think I am imagining things.

BUHARI FAULTS CRACKDOWN ON BOKO HARAM
“Buhari speaking during a Liberty FM Hausa Service Programme, Guest of the Week, on Sunday in Kaduna said that Boko Haram members were being killed and their houses demolished unlike the “special treatment” given to the Niger Delta militants by the Federal Government”

CLAMP DOWN ON BOKO HARAM, INJUSTICE TO NORTH – BUHARI
“You see in the case of the Niger Delta militants, the late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua sent an airplane to bring them, he sat down with them and discussed with them, they were cajoled and they were given money and granted amnesty. They were trained in some skills and were given employment, but the ones in the North were being killed and their houses were being demolished. They are different issues, what brought this? It is injustice.”
