11) On Boko Haram
Buhari, who was the military ruler from
December 31, 1983, to August 27, 1985, first
of all speaks on the main challenge which
Nigeria faces, Boko Haram.
During the election campaign Buhari frequently
assured Nigerians that he would stop the
insurgency:
“Our government will bring to an end the
menace of Boko Haram terror that is plaguing
the society. Nigerians are turning into refugees
in their country,” he said during a rally in
Adamawa. “What we save from the fight
against corruption and leakages, we will invest
heavily in education, infrastructure, equipment,
and teachers. The best we can do for our
generation and future generation is to give
them qualitative and quantitative education. An
APC government throughout the country
definitely will do that.”
Professor Yemi Osinbajo, who is Buhari’s
running mate, said that if elected they will
personally lead the war against Boko Haram:
“Fighting insurgency requires the Commander
in Chief to lead from the front by providing
leadership.”
“Instead of politicizing the issue, APC will
galvanise all support and ensure that the threat
to the territorial integrity of the country is put
on check, and General Buhari will ensure that
the entire nation is mobilized irrespective of
party affiliation to solve the problem.”
Speaking recently at Chatham House in
London, Buhari promised that if he wins, the
world will stop worrying about Nigeria:
“Let me assure you that if I am elected
president, the world will have no cause to worry
about Nigeria as it has had to recently; that
Nigeria will return to its stabilizing role in West
Africa; and that no inch of Nigerian territory will
ever be lost to the enemy because we will pay
special attention to the welfare of our soldiers in
and out of service, we will give them adequate
and modern arms and ammunitions to work
with, we will improve intelligence gathering and
border controls to choke Boko Haram’s financial
and equipment channels, we will be tough on
terrorism and tough on its root causes by
initiating a comprehensive economic
development plan promoting infrastructural
development, job creation, agriculture and
industry in the affected areas. We will always
act on time and not allow problems to
irresponsibly fester, and I, Muhammadu Buhari,
will always lead from the front and return
Nigeria to its leadership role in regional and
international efforts to combat terrorism.”
12) On corruption
As Buhari had a rare reputation as a fighter
against corruption during his time in charge of
Nigeria from 1983-85, a lot of his promises
connect to it.
The APC presidential flag-bearer said it was not
only a civic duty but that every Nigerian was
morally-bound to sustain the struggle to rid
“this country of the prevailing corruption”.
He stressed that he would make sure that those
who steal public money are made to return it,
noting that the fight against corruption will
form a major focus of the APC government.
Buhari said despite his mature age he feels
“spiritually strong enough and physically agile
to give every sacrifice in our bid to salvage our
dear nation from imminent economic and social
disintegration.”
“On corruption, there will be no confusion as to
where I stand. Corruption will have no place
and the corrupt will not be appointed into my
administration. First and foremost, we will plug
the holes in the budgetary process. Revenue
producing entities such as NNPC and Customs
and Excise will have one set of books only. Their
revenues will be publicly disclosed and regularly
audited. The institutions of state dedicated to
fighting corruption will be given independence
and prosecutorial authority without political
interference.”
He also added: “We will stop corruption and
make the ordinary people, the weak and the
vulnerable our top priority.”
13) On youth unemployment
Nigeria is the most populous country on the
continent and the problem of youth
unemployment is very crucial.
General Buhari has promised to create one
million jobs for Igbo youths in the southeast
when he becomes the president.
He stated that he will realise this through coal
deposits:
“We are banking on huge coal deposits located
at Amasiodo, Inyi and Leje axis of Enugu Coal
belt. We are going to award contracts for
mining and construction of coal-fired power
plant, unlike PDP that since 1999 promised to
revamp the coal fields and 16 years after,
nothing has been done.”
The APC’s presidential candidate speaking on
the issue at a rally in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state, last
Thursday, promised to provide the country’s
residents with 3 million jobs annually and
handle the lingering issue of unemployment.
14) On economy
“On the economy, the fall in prices of oil has
brought our economic and social stress into full
relief. After the rebasing exercise in April 2014,
Nigeria overtook South Africa as Africa’s largest
economy. Our GDP is now valued at $510 billion
and our economy rated 26th in the world. Also
on the bright side, inflation has been kept at
single digit for a while and our economy has
grown at an average of 7% for about a decade,”
Buhari stated.
Buhari said that the Nigerian economy is too
reliant on oil and gas. He claimed that the
development of the agriculture sector and the
revival of the textile industry would contribute
to helping the economy move forward.
During a presidential rally in Owerri, Imo, he
promised that industries will also be revitalised
while soft loans will be given to small and
medium enterprises, aside from other
infrastructural development.
Buhari promised party supporters in Brinin
Kebbi that “ending current epileptic power
supply will boost the economy and attract
domestic and foreign investment.”
15) On the Nigerian Army
Muhammadu Buhari has promised to
restructure the Nigerian army and the Nigeria
police force, if elected.
He said that the need to restructure the army
and the police became necessary because
Nigeria’s enemies had become more
sophisticated in the use of weapons.
“Our army and police will be highly equipped
with all the required weapons, educated and
uneducated youths will be employed through
different programmes that will be created by
our administration. We will rebuild our
educational system and employ youths not on
sentiment and god-fatherism. We will as well
find ways of restrengthening the country’s
economy.”
16) On religion
Buhari is from the North and his faith is Islam.
But as he said, he not a religious fanatic. The
APC has also denied all the allegations on the
ex-general’s religious bigotry:
“Buhari had been a military Head of State in
Nigeria and had the power to make a decree
and it will become a law in Nigeria. At that time,
he did not make any attempt to Islamise Nigeria
neither did he Islamise Nigeria. Is it now that
you need the National Assembly to put a stamp
of approval on what you do that he will come
and Islamise Nigeria?” said the party.
When he met with Catholic bishops Buhari
vowed not to Islamise Nigeria:
“For me, the issue of religion was, and should
always, be a matter of personal conviction. This
personal conviction approach to religion has
defined my work and interactions all my life,
including my tenure in office as military Head of
State. The religion of all those I worked with was
never a factor in their progress or in what
happened to them. All that mattered then, and
should still matter today, are competence,

Just so we Nigerians will know what we are expecting. Congrats General Buhari.!
