I think you should, it may be the best Buhari interview you ever watched and interviewed by a man who clearly do not fear Buhari

Adminisher:
I mentioned this program about one year ago when some ignoramus was saying Buhari was all action and no speaking skills. This program is about taking and dishing out in a classy British kind of way. I think Buhari handled it well. Obasanjo on this program was almost lynching the moderator, bullying and lying freely. Borno State governor was curt and very sharp. Wole Soyinka always gets a free pass from all the moderators, they like him too much, Pakistani military president then was also abrasive. I think GEJ on this program would be interesting to watch.

mikeansy:
Except I watched a different interview but this is what I saw:

1. The Interviewer established that Buhari is a sour loser who refused to congratulate his opponent even though most credible international institutions adjudged the election to be credible and represent progress.

2. Even though International observers admit that there was violence from both PDP and ANPP. Buhari claims that only PDP engaged in violence and wont climb down even he was given specific examples. That's living in denial.

3. Asked to condemn violence whether from ANPP members or PDP members; Buhari preferred to claim the matter is in court.

4. When his lack to democratic credentials were question he had no credible defence but claimed he became a born again democrat after the collapse of soviet union.

5. When told to his face that as an unelected soldier he had no right to intervened by ousting a democratically elected leader he had no defence.

6. When challenged with the fact that during his rein as dictator he had no time table to return Nigeria to democracy he had no defence either

7. when asked why he stifled the press and jailed journalists who embarrassed the government with the truth he said he did so in order to ensure that Government is focused on the problems of the country.

8. when question why a Government with so much problems like poverty and corruption to deal with had time control how people stood in bus queues he still had no credible defence.

9. His selective anti-corruption campaign where the well connected got off lightly while political enemies got long jail terms or executed was also questioned. He had no defence.

I think Buhari was put in his place by Tim if you ask me. He did not defend anything and was anything but Presidential.
There is nothing Presidential about a long history of failed records, no grace, no tact and pursuing views that are diametrically opposed to everybody else even independent international observers!

And quite frankly I am not surprised that Buhari has not been back to BBC Hardtalk since then!

Quite frankly, I'll take the worst Buhari over the best GEJ anyday. GEJ is simply unfit to rule our great country.

This thread will be ignored and sooner or later it will end up in page 10 of the politics board.

If care is not taken one of the Janjawiid janitors will move it to Islam for Muslims section.

As 2015 election approaches, the issues discussed in this 2004 Buhari hardtalk interview are still relevant

The discussion center on Buhari's reaction to the 2003 election and Obasanjo victory, Buhari's democratic records and justification of the 1983 coup.

Dreambeat:
He did perform well at this interview.He was sharp,intelligent and straight to the point on his answers but remember it was 10 YEARS AGO!His present state,abilities and level of knowledge of happenings in Nigeria's political and economic circle is nothing to write home about.He is a far cry from what he was.Age is telling on him.
