In my books, Bull-hari is a pretentious anti-
corruption fighter. The trajectory of a man's
journey in public life matters. For the following
reasons I cannot vote for Bull-hari:
1. He is an oligarch who does not believe in
equality before the law. The way he jailed Lateef
Jakande, Jim Nwobodo, Ambrose Ali, Pa Adekunle
Ajasin, Chief Ayo Ojewumi on cases that had no
foundation and allowed Awwal Ibrahim, the then
Niger State governor, who was arrested in
Heathrow Airport in London with 14 million
pounds sterling and several millions of Niara and
dollars to be put under house arrest is my
evidence. He also allowed Shehu Kangiwa, Sokoto
State Governor who conducted and supervised the
famous Bakolori Massacre of poor peasant
farmers who's land were appropriated without
compesation to remain under house arrest.
1(a) Ayo Ojewumi became blind as a result of his
imprisonment over false charges and died shortly
after.
1 (b) Prof. Ambrose Alli also became blind as a
result of this false imprisonment. When he died,
he had only one undeveloped plot of land to his
name.
1 (c) Pa Adekule Ajasin was never the same after
his eventual release and remained sickly for the
rest of his life. Whe he died, he never had any
property anywhere in the world except the one
he had built from his sweat as long term teacher
and school principal in Owo township.
2. He put in place a retroactive law that killed
three men, innocent men in my book, by public
execution.
3. He jailed Ndukar Irabor and Tunde Thompson
of the Guardian on stories that were factually
true under Decree 4. He had told the Nigerian
journalists then that it did not matter whether the
story reported was true or not, if his regime did
not like it, the writer would go to jail.
4. He supervised the smuggling of 53 suitcases
filled with cash through the MMA against the
protests of General Tunde Idiagbon and ironically,
Abubakar Atiku, the then Director General of the
Customs who later became the Vice President and
a compromised politician himself. This smuggling
of the suit cases was supervised by his ADC, Col.
Mustapha Jokolo.
5. He jailed Fela Anikulapo -Kuti on trumped up
charges under an emergency law which prompted
the sentencing judge to confess that he was
ordered to do so and apologised to the late
musician. It was Bull-hari's administration that
said it has "decided to deal with this Fela problem
once and for all."
6. He convinced all the northern political leaders
against allowing the National Identity Card
program because according to him, this would
unravel the myth of a Northern population
majority
7. He is an Islamic fundamentalist, the Bin Laden
of Nigeria, who told his northern followers never
to vote for anyone who was not a muslim.
8. He is a coup plotter.
9. He has never been able to account to Nigerians
what he did with the 20 billion Naira of the
Petroleum Trust Fund of which he was the
chairman under Sani Abacha.
9(a) He has not been able to point to any project
that he prosecuted outside the Northern Nigeria
with the so-caled trust fund.
10. He was in full support of all the atrocities of
Sani Abacha against the Nigerian people. There is
no single record of his criticism of Sani Abacha
during those dark days when Nigeria was on
precipice. It shows that he is a patriot of
convenience and as such unfit to lead the
country.
11. Bull-hari, as part of his tribalistic practices
placed President Shagari under house arrest
inside a palatial mansion in Ikoyi while he locked
up Shagari's Vice, Alex Ekwueme in Kirikiri Prison.
Shagari is Hausa/Fulani like him while Alex
Ekwueme is an Igboman.
12. Ikemba Emeka Ojukwu, another Igboman who
returned from 13years exile just a little over a
year then was as well locked up in KiriKiri Prison
by mean-hearted Bull-hari.Up till today we are
not told what was Emeka's offence.
13. Busari Adelakun died of ulcer because Bull-
hari refused him to be taken out of prison for
immediate medical attention.The then Governor
of Ogun State,Bisi Onabanjo suffered similar fate
which we were told led to his untimely death.
14. Bull-hari ransacked the house of our late
sage, Obafemi Awolowo and confisticated his
International passport. Which civilized democratic
society would elect the likes of Bull-hari as
President,the same individual who overthrew an
elected President? Never!
15. Plus Bull-hari having Sam Mbakwe in jail,
went for one of Mbakwe's wives. He established
himself again for what he was/is letting Mbakwe
receive in jailhouse news of the death of another
of Mbakwe's two wives. One (I can't remember
his name now; Odenigbo?) also died in jail.
16. Bull-hari's henchman and sponsor, CPC
governorship candidate for Kano State, is
Mohammed Abacha, the same person that had/
ran a personal killing squad, coordinated the
killing of Kudirat Abiola & attempted to kill Ibru;
and also stashed money in underground tanks, all
less than 13 years ago, Nigerians have very short
selective memory. Shame!!!
17. Bull-hari discriminated against persons from
other ethnic groups/faiths; and that as PTF
Chairman, he employed an overwhelming number
of Fulani/Hausa/Moslem people at the detriment
of other groups and concentrated PTF projects in
the Nort, h. If in doubt read El Rufai's testimony
where he wrote about Katsina boys who used the
money they made at PTF to bankroll Yar'Adua's
election in 1999.
18. Bull-hari is unforgiving. When he "took over"
by coup in 1983, he even remembered an article
written a very very long time ago by Bisi Onabanjo
('The Mallams are coming') and a later one in
which Onabanjo wrote that people should watch
out for that "gangly officer from the north" after
Bull-hari gave a no holds barred speech at some
Army functions where he was reported to be very
openly pro Fulani and pro Islam to the exclusive
of all else and also talked about termination of
democratic rule. For that, Onabanjo got one of
the harshest jail terms and treatments.
19. Bull-hari intolerance is worse than Obasanjo's.
When he was adopted as the ANPP's candidate on
the night of the party's Primaries without prior
warning to the other candidates (and a few of
them protested), Bull-hari got up and made a
speech that those people must be disciplined. I
subsequently saw him on BBC's "hard talk" and
he frightened me and the interviewer with his
archaic and fundamentalist intolerant views. His
understanding and articulation is very much in
doubt.
20. The evil genius, IBB and his crew similarly ran
rings around Bull-hari. On the 10th anniversary of
Abacha's demise, Bull-hari said that Abacha stole
nothing from Nigeria! Despite millions of Dollars
recovered from banks around the world and the
Abacha family signing a formal agreement to
return over $1 billion dollars, Bull-hari still said
that Abacha's stealing remains an unproved
allegation!!!! Why? Because Abacha set Bull-hari
up like an emperor and let him use oil money
from the Niger Delta to develop the North without
supervision or questions.
21. Bull-hari snubbed the same Nigerians he now
wants their votes by refusing to appear before
Justice Oputa Truth and Reconciliation Panel.
Despite the fact that Bull-hari knew how inportant
reconciliation is to the stability of democracy. Bull-
hari has never apologised at anytime.
22. Bull-hari executed Lawal Ojuolape (30),
Bernard Ogedengbe (29) and Bartholomew Owoh
(26). To put it quite plainly, one of those three –
Ogedengbe - was executed for a crime that did
not carry a capital forfeit at the time it was
committed. and At the time Ogedengbe
committed the crime it did not carry that
punishment. If we must live as civilised citizens
we must go by the rules. Article 11.2 of the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights reads: "No
one shall be held guilty of any penal offence on
account of any act or omission WHICH DID NOT
CONSTITUTE A PENAL OFFENCE, under national or
international law at the time when it was
committed. NOR SHALL A HEAVIER PUNISHMENT
BE IMPOSED THAN THE ONE THAT WAS
APPLICABLE AT THE TIME THE PENAL OFFENCE
WAS COMMITTED. Killing people with retroactive
laws is not the civilised thing to do - and for as
long as we will have people who refuse to see the
truth only because their heroes are inching to rule
when they have not purged themselves we will
continue to wallow in misery.
23. Let’s informed Bull-hari that Lateef Jakande’s
$60 million metro rail project for Lagos, which he
cancelled immediately after he over-threw the
Second Republic, has now accumulated a debt
profile of over $3 billion for Lagos State, making
the state the most indebted state to Paris Club in
the federation.
24 Let also remind Bull-hari that Gbolahan
Mudashiru, his Military Administrator for Lagos
State, alerted him on the clause in the contract
agreement that would yoke the state to this debt,
if the contract was cancelled unilaterally, and that
he replied Mudashiru, that he didn’t care a
damn.Though the fund for the execution of that
project which would have given the people of
Lagos an intra-city light train transport system
would not have come from Bull-hari’s Supreme
Military Council, General Bull-hari, as Military
Head of State, cancelled this wonderful project of
the state government, with ethnicity on his mind.
25. Let us again tell him that his action of jailing
Dr Alex Ekwueme, then Nigeria’s vice president,
from Anambra, and keeping President Shehu
Shagari, from Sokoto State in a house arrest in
Ikoyi was also ethnically fired.
26. So also was the shorter end of the stick he
handed the South, as chair of Petroleum Trust
Fund (PTF), in the execution of projects.
27. Shagari’s regime (1979-1983), incurred Bull-
hari’s wrath when it decided to investigate the US
$2.8 billion that disappeared from the Midland
Bank, London account of the Nigerian National
Petroleum Cooperation, (NNPC), during General
Obasanjo’s era as military head of state that
preceded Shagari’s. Dr. Olusola Saraki, Turaki of
Ilorin, was the majority party leader of the Senate
at the time and he headed the Senate Committee
set up to trace the stolen money after some three
years of clamour for such an investigation by
members of the civil society. The money was
traced to the Midland Bank London branch fixed
account of Bull-hari, Obasanjo’s appointee as
military head of the Nigerian National Petroleum
Company. The Committee’s report was presented
to the Senate during the tail end of Shagari’s
regime in 1983, so the House decided to deal with
the matter soon after the 1983 general elections.
28. He locked up without trial, politicians and
critics including Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, notorious for
clamouring for the exposure of the oil money
rogue. Vera Ifudu, who was an NTA reporter then,
was sacked through his prodding as military ruler,
for reporting what Dr. Olusola Saraki had told her
in an interview about how the missing money was
traced to Bull-hari’s account at a Midland Bank
London branch. Vera eventually won her case of
wrongful dismissal in court against the NTA and
was financially compensated.
29. Abacha rehabilitated Bull-hari with the
chairmanship of the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF)
before he (Abacha) died in 1998. When Obasanjo
returned to power in May 1999 as civilian
president, he found that over 2.5 billion naira had
not been properly accounted for in the PTF and
that there was not much on the ground to show
for the colossal expenditure the agency was
claiming. On the day Obasanjo announced the
scrapping of the PTF, a non-staff brother-in-law
of the boss, allegedly serving as his conduit on
some PTF projects, died suddenly from what
appeared to be heart failure.
30. Bull-hari’s conflicting statements on the
money laundering charges involving his ADC in
1984 on the 53 suit cases saga, has indicted him.
31. He should reveal to us his health status…
Bull-hari at 72(?) yr old is a clear liability on
Nigeria and Nigerians is Nigeria a health insurance
scheme?
If Nigerians reward dangerous, insensitive,
dishonest, mean, cruel, partial, egoistic, religious
fundamentalist, conscienceless human beings like
MOHAM-MALU BULL-HARI with the presidency of
Nigeria with his kind of track record, then why do
we still wonder why Nigeria has not and will not
make it?
I cannot in good conscience support Bull-hari's
candidacy on the above grounds. I wish we have
intelligent people who know what democracy
means. I wish we have civilized minds. However, I
am 100 percent sure that Bull-hari will never
again rule Nigeria.

Story story?? STORY!!. Nonsense I didn't even read your epistilic write up. I always knew Tanoids are worthless. Go find a hole and die already

I am not a "T"whatever, truth dey say is bitter to the ear.
Jonathan might not be the best but Buhari is not the answer. APC had a better chance(candidate) but dey blew it up. I cant sopport evil because i want change, i had rather die slowly in the frying pan than fell inside the fire because i want to be out, remember someone can easily see me and save me in the pan than the fire.

This is a lot of fear and vexations of spirit. You must have spent 4 hours thinking up and typing this long epistle,all 31 paragraphs of it. Sorry o, but we don't believe a word of it. The only thing I support is the premise you are basing all these upon which is that GEJ is admittedly very bad but we must also be careful with Buhari. Our answer to you is..''we have heard you".
