I STAND TO BE CORRECTED
I write this because of millions of Nigerians who are
below 30 and who constitute a significant chunk of
our voting population.
This is the ICT generation that is largely ignorant
about the events of the Buhari era (1983-85) and so
can be misinformed and misled by needless
propaganda. I have sat with many in the under-30
bracket and those slightly above who only have faint
recollections of the Buhari era and the level of
ignorance about that era is amazing.
Before being MILITARY Head of State, Buhari had
been Governor of one of the Northern States (under
Obasanjo’s Military government) as well as Minister
for Petroleum. He later served as Chairman of PTF
under Abacha. Please consider the following
unassailable facts:
- He birthed and supervised the establishment of
our existing refineries.
- There was no religious crisis while he was Head
of State. It started under his successor IBB!
- In his time as Head of State he reduced inflation
from 23% to 4%, by fiscal discipline and a
homegrown economic team (not achieved under
any other era, even military).
- JJ Rawlings of Ghana took over 2 years before
him, and killed all the corrupt leaders, while Buhari
only sentenced the corrupt leaders here to prison.
- Under his watch as PTF Chairman, what he did in
road construction in that short period hasn't been
matched by 12 years of the PDP.
- Hospitals and universities around the country
never witnessed as much benefits as they got from
the PTF from any government after or before his
time.
- Despite serving in senior capacity in the oil sector,
first as Minister for Petroleum and then Petroleum
Trust Fund, Buhari has no petrol station,much less a
rig, refinery or an oil block like so many of our
leaders.
- He could have retired into nauseating opulence
like an IBB or Danjuma or even OBJ but didn't.
- Instead of hobnobbing with the high and mighty,
he has cast his lot with the ordinary man most of
who follow him out of hope and belief in his
values.People who know him have said of him... "All
I need from Buhari is his word, I can take it to the
bank".
- He is the only politician in the North today who
fills rallies without renting a crowd. The Kaduna
rally of 2nd March is eloquent proof.
- He refused to collect an allowance while serving
as Chairman of the PTF because he said since he
was already drawing a pension from government,
his conscience would not allow him to draw another
salary from the purse of the same government.
- He is the only former head of state that does not
own property or land in Abuja.
- Every attempt to rubbish him through probes in
time past ended up vindicating him! The man who
was asked by OBJ to take over the running of PTF
before it was scrapped with the aim of probing and
indicting Buhari, was the one who ended up being
prosecuted
for misappropriating $100m of PTF funds! Buhari
again, was vindicated
- He has OPENLY challenged those who accuse him
of religious fundamentalism to come out and show
proof. No one has till today, taken up the
challenge.His personal driver of many years is a
Christian from Plateau State.
- His government initiated the War Against
Indiscipline that has made environmental
cleanliness, queuing up, not urinating by the
roadside etc features of our national life even till
today Does it then surprise you why corrupt people
would be spreading such heinous rumors about
Buhari?
He is a threat to them and they know what he is
capable of doing to corruption and corrupt people
when he comes into office! So shine your eyes and
make the right decision. If honesty and probity are
the things you want for Nigeria ,now is the time to
choose right. When you cast your vote for the
BUHARI, you would have cast one vote for a honest
men.
Now that you know better, will you please educate
another person
