Presidential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Muhammadu
Buhari in the meeting he held with
passionate volunteers in Lagos on Tuesday,
23 December, spoke with clarity and wit
about issues ranking from the economy
and stablilising the naira, to politics of
issues, to his stewardship at the Petroleum
Trust Fund (PTF).
He also repeated his call for peaceful
elections and for citizens to protect their
votes.
Of particular interest however are his
statements on misplaced priorities in the
government spending and his government’s
success in fighting domestic terrorism, a
very important point in history to
remember as Nigeria battles the now
dreaded Boko Haram sect.
As reported by a blogger, Joachim
MacEbong, who was at the event:
One part of Buhari’s time in the military
that has to be spoken about a lot more, is
his decisiveness in dealing with enemies of
the Nigerian state. He recounted an
episode when Chadian troops killed
Nigerian soldiers, during the regime of
Hissene Habré. This was the despite the
fact that Nigeria was giving petroleum
products to Chad. “Unfortunately for him,
[Habré] those soldiers were under me”,
Buhari said, to laughter from the
audience. It was one example of his dry
humour that would come to the surface a
few more times.
As for Maitatsine, he describes a problem
that kept recurring after the leader of the
group was first exiled by the Emir of
Kano, then returned and was killed by the
police. “I flew into Adamawa as head of
state, and that was the last you heard of
Maitatsine,” he said.
Buhari goes on to explain his role in
events like Nigeria’s ‘observer’ status in
the OIC, the so-called $2.8 billion ‘missing’
funds during his time at the NNPC, his
time at the PTF, the famous 53 suitcases
(which was apparently just luggage), and
so on.
The Petroleum Trust Fund was much like
today’s SURE-P. Pump prices were going to
be raised, but the Abacha government
needed someone the public could trust to
manage subsidy savings. Buhari recounted
how the first N2 billion of the N53 billion
spent by the PTF was in Lagos, on projects
like the Iju Waterworks. According to him,
12, 000 kilometres of roads were done by
the PTF.
As a former military ruler, some are
concerned with what Buhari might get up
to if he becomes President, and whether
his military instincts will take over. He
describes his moment of conversion to
democracy as when the Soviet Union
collapsed without a shot being fired. For
someone whose military career went on
against the backdrop of 5 coups, one of
which he was on the receiving end of, it
must have been a Damascene moment for
him.

Buhari was terrorism as a head of state.

Allegation against Buhari as a terrorist has not been proved. Find below Those people who were caught red handed for trying to import arms to destabilize our unity. These are the true terrorists in the light of available evidence.

I don't get the solution he is offering on Boko Haram.

Is he saying if he flies into Maidugiri as President of Nigeria then Boko Haram will disappear?
