Jonathan Has Run Out Of Ideas - Buhari. by WIZGUY69(m): 12:12pm On Jan 01, 2015
The candidate of the All Progressives Congress in
the 2015 presidential election, Maj.Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari, has said President
Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic
Party have run out of ideas.
He also noted that the administration had
equally run out of excuses for its inability to
provide quality leadership for Nigerians.
Buhari said this in a New Year message to
Nigerians on Wednesday.
He noted that announcements made by the
Presidency and its agencies over the last one
month, had dampened the morale of many
Nigerians.
According to him, President Jonathan and the
ruling party have devalued the Naira which
means that the price of goods and services will
rise thus increasing the burden of ordinary
Nigerians.
In the statement signed on his behalf by the
Director, Communications of the Buhari
Campaign Organisation, Mr. Dele Alake, Buhari
said by Presidency’s own admission, he was
promising Nigerians a tougher 2015.
Buhari was quoted as saying, “Our opponents
have not only run out of ideas, they have run
out of excuses for failure.
He said, “Indeed, the Presidency has declared a
regime of austerity that will be executed in 2015.
To quote the press reports, the President himself
has declared that year 2015 shall be “tough” on
our people.
“Against this season of despair foisted on our
people, I bring to you, a New Year Message of
hope and optimism. I share the anxiety of the
middle class and the poor who have borne the
brunt of the policies of this government for so
long with increasing burden.
“I share the fear of the unemployed whose hopes
for new jobs in the New Year is being dashed
because companies will cut jobs to escape spiral
inflation. I share the concerns of the
manufacturers whose import-dominated
production will be challenged by the austerity
measures.”
Buhari urged leaders to eschew the cynical habit
of wishing Nigerians a happy New Year when
their actions were calculated to undermine their
happiness.
He pointed out that it was impossible for the
vast majority of Nigerians to enjoy happiness
given the scale of corruption, impunity and
indiscipline that currently incapacitated the
Nigerian state from fulfilling its obligations to the
Nigerian people.
He said the country desperately needed a
disciplined and visionary leadership that had the
capacity to fight corruption.
“It is only some Nigerians who have access to
the corridors of power and benefit from the
monumental graft that characterises governance
in the country today that can enjoy their perverse
and ultimately futile form of happiness,” Buhari
said.
Buhari called on Nigerians to vote out the
Peoples Democratic Party, promising that his
administration would ensure “cheaper electricity,
food security, accelerated power supply,
integrated transport network, free education,
affordable health care service and effective
security of life and property.”
According to him, Nigerians cannot enjoy the
dividends of democracy owing to corruption,
impunity and indiscipline that currently
incapacitate the country.
He added, “Nigerians must be the sole object
and focus of government. Man must be the pivot
around which governance revolves. The more the
potential of citizens are maximised within any
nation, the higher will be the prospects of that
nation for attaining greatness. The first great
task facing Nigeria today, therefore, is to put in
place a government that can guarantee the
safety and security of Nigerians throughout the
length and breadth of our country. This is
because Nigerians must first of all be alive, safe
and free from fear before they can exercise and
utilise their talents for the benefit of their nation.
“I declare, that, collectively, we can bring an end
to this season of despair; we can bring an end to
this avoidable fear; we can bring an end to this
needless anxiety. On February 14, 2014, the
Almighty offers us a historic opportunity to chart
a new course out of the tragedy that we have
found ourselves; History offers us a chance to
correct the errors of the past. Great Nigerian
people! This is our chance!
“…My message to you is to use your voter card
on February 14, 2015 to liberate our country by
voting for a real happy new year for yourselves.
“This is the type of leadership I offer and for
which I humbly seek the mandate of Nigerians at
the polls this New Year. I am confident that
great days are ahead of Nigerians. I therefore
enjoin us all to keep hope alive. The glory and
pride of Nigeria will be restored both internally
and externally this New Year. Renew your faith
that, for Nigeria, the best is on the way and by
the grace of the Almighty, I shall meet you there.
Happy New Year!”

''QUESTIONS I KEEP ASKING MYSELF ABOUT
BUHARI
Can someone who REFUSED to ATTEND OPUTA
PANEL when invited talk about justice
Can someone whose statements are loaded with
VIOLENCE assure peace
Can someone who promised he would ensure that
SHARIA LAW gets to all part of the country tolerate
people from other religion
Can someone that asked MUSLIMS TO VOTE ONLY
MUSLIM be voted for by other religion?
Can someone that put Shagari in HOUSE ARREST
and DR Alex Ekwueme in PRISON be absolved of
tribal sentiments?
Can someone who used retroactive laws to KILL
PEOPLE be trusted with our lives?
Can someone who says FIGHTING TERRORISM is
against his people be allowed to be in charge of
this country
Can someone who executed 75% of PTF projects in
the NORTH and distributed the remaining 25%
among other regions when he was the PTF
chairman be allowed to take charge of all projects
in the country
Can someone who as a military head of state who
knows he would be overthrown but COULD NOT
DO ANYTHING because his deputy was not around
be classified as courageous?
Can someone who says ACN is corrupt but
because of his presidential ambition now surrounds
himself with ACN thieves be ABLE TO FIGHT
CORRUPTION?
Can someone who as head of PTF DID NOT KNOW
how billions of Naira got missing be trusted with
our entire wealth as president
Can someone who could not allow the economic of
demand, supply and internal production factors to
determine the prices of commodities but used
SOLDIERS TO FORCE price control be able to
handle present economic challenges??
Can someone who did not allow his government be
criticised and UNJUSTLY ARRESTED those who
criticised his government be given that opportunity
to lead again,etc?
Honestly, Buhari is NOT the RIGHT person.''

Buhari ..... What are your ideas?

Critiicizing someone's existing idea does not automatically equal an idea.

Stabilizing global crude oil prices is not an idea either... Rather a dumb statement.

Why criticise another to prove your points.
Mtcheew
Infact GEJ till 2019
