When I Voted For Buhari, I Did So With A Number Of Things In Mind: by kellybently(m): 8:51pm On Apr 02, 2016
When I voted for Buhari, I did so with a number of things in mind:

1. I knew that after 16 horrible years of misrule, we needed a patriot and Buhari is a patriot.

2. By 2014, our nation was already on its knees. Our bridges of unity, peace and understanding were already breaking down. We needed a bridge builder and i saw a bridge builder in Buhari.

3. I realized that a few individuals had already kidnapped our nation and were holding it hostage. We needed a man with the heart of a lion to fight these wicked people and free our nation has an awesomely large quantity of courage in stock. I had strong feelings that he could face and over power them .

4. For 16 years, corruption was institutionalized and groomed into a monster. It has consumed the fabric of our society. There were no laws, no rules and no limits. To fight corruption, we needed a leader who is not corrupt. Again, Buhari became my choice because he was and is still unbeatably incorruptible.

5. Our dear nation was on fire. No one was safe...insurgency became our daily routine. Kidnapping became business. It was death, arson and destruction everywhere. Bombs, bombs and bombs everywhere. Insurgents ruled the nation freely while the government looked the other way. We needed a leader who was not culpable and not a coward to subdue the militants and expose the perpetrators.

Billions were stolen in the name of oil subsidy and purchase of military equipments to fight insurgency. They milked the nation dry. A man with clean hands must come and end the conspiracy against our nation. Buhari became my choice.

And so......I voted Buhari. I did so wholeheartedly and patriotically.

Today , i look back. Do I have any regrets? My answer is an emphatic NO! Looting has ended and looters are returning the loots. No sacred cows as the cabals have been scattered and neutralized. Trillions have entered our treasury and many thieves have abandoned their loots in illegal accounts. Buhari stopped the payment of subsidies . what is the story of Boko Haram today? Where are bombs in markets and motor parks? Where are the noise making militants? Who.is above the law today? Where are the grenades and brand new Hilux vans used by insurgents?

Buhari is fighting corruption. He is defeating insurgency. No one is stealing oil. We are recovering our loots in trillions. Nigeria is regaining it's lost glory. Our image is beautiful in the eyes of the international community. Buhari has continued to enjoy international respect, honour and recognition. He is the toast of every nation.

I was not expecting Nigeria to change in just one year. I'm only confident and hopeful that we are on the path of national rebirth. Nigeria will rise again. Yes, it will!
