Reasons Why You Should Vote Buhari by Nobody: 8:35pm On Jan 09, 2015
Our dear country Nigeria is in dire need of qualitative and substantive change from retrogression of the past twelve years under PDP to a future of progress, beginning from May 29 2011. This is what GMB represents and offers.

2. We are tired of broken promises and broken down infrastructure. The railways are gone, the shipping lines have disappeared, roads are dilapidated and the power situation is still epileptic after twelve years of wasted Billions of Dollars. GMB promises 15,000MW of electricity by 2015 and 50,000 by 2019.

3. We want somebody that will come and fix our roads and basic infrastructure. GMB plans to construct 3,000km of Superhighway including service trunks and build up to 4,800km of modern railway lines – one third to be completed by 2015.

4. We are tired of being ruled by the Party of Do or Die politics and politicians. GMB plays politics of persuasion and policy articulation.

5. We want to be free from the ‘nest of killers’ who can do anything for power. We need a peaceful polity as envisaged by GMB

6. We are tired of non-functional refineries. GMB is set to optimise their productions once again and initiate new ones with the private sector. He has done it before.

7. GMB will put a stop to the importation of 70% of our petroleum products when we can produce same.

8. We are tired of shameful and disgraceful importation of petroleum products. Prices will come down when GMB takes over on 29th May.

9. We need solution to our secondary school education decay where 70% failures are recorded and the PDP is audacious enough to seek our votes.

10. We are tired of the celebration of corruption by the PDP. They organised a party to welcome Bode George back from prison where he had been for the past two years for stealing.

11. We are tired of the PDP president spending 100 million Naira public funds daily for only presidential jets’ fuelling during campaigns while many Nigerians are hungry, jobless, homeless and hopeless.

12. We are tired of the negative image of a corrupt nation stamped on us by the PDP government’s twelve years of waste.

13. We are tired of a baby president who is completely clueless about the solutions to our problems. It is time to separate the boys from the men. It is time for GMB

14. We are tired of being ruled by stooges with godfathers pushing them like a barrow and telling them what to do at all times. We want a real self confident President.

15. We are tired of attempts at introducing third term through the back door.

16. We do not want a man who supported, funded and campaigned for third term.

17. We are tired of the chop I chop government of PDP. The public till is for all members of the Nigerian society and this is what GMB will ensure.

18. We are tired a president that is playing politics with University education. He announced new Universities to win votes, while the existing ones are barely effective.

19. We are tired of a government that cannot secure our lives and property. So many lives have been lost in Jos, Port Harcourt, Maiduguri, Bauchi, Okerenkoko, Ayakoroma, etc

20. We are tired of an illiterate government without an ideology, without social and political principles and without an understanding of society and governance.

21. We are tired of election riggers and government of thugs and ritualists.

22. We are tired of a government of cult men and Ogboni members.

23. We are tired of a president that says one thing and does exactly the opposite.

24. We are tired of a president that will brazenly rig his own party primaries with impunity and still go and beg for help from the same people.

25. We are tired of a president that blackmailed and arm-twisted fellow convoluted governors to win his party’s nomination.

26. We are tired of a president who inaugurated a presidential advisory committee (PAC) to advice him but later turns round to snub their patriotic advice.

27. We are tired of a president whose only qualification for the presidency is goodluck.

28. We are tired of an economy in comatose while the PDP government is in denial.

29. We are tired of a government that has borrowed more than $32bn in four years for no tangible course and is set to borrow more.

30. We are tired of a government that spends more than 30% of its 2011 budget to pay foreign debt. A government that makes foreigners rich and Nigerians poor.

31. We are tired of a PDP government that does not care about the welfare and wellbeing of the Nigerian people but is only pre-occupied with being in power for 100 years. WE NEED CHANGE.

32. GENERAL MOHAMADU BUHARI (GMB) is the answer and the change agent because he supervised and delivered our existing refineries as petroleum minister and Head of state.

33. He is set to entrench true federalism and fiscal federalism in the body politics of the Nigerian state.

34. He is predisposed to the restructuring of the Nigerian federation to achieve the above.

35. He is determined to achieve a proper devolution of power between the three tiers of government.

36. He strongly supports the removal of the immunity clause on criminal matters under which governors steal and kill.

37. He will make local councils more accountable to the people, by making them publish minutes of their meetings, service performance data and items of spending that exceed 10 million Naira.

38. He plans to reform and strengthen the judicial system for efficient administration of justice in the country. He remembers that the judiciary is the last hope of the common man.

39. He plans to create special courts for accelerated hearing of corruption, drug trafficking, terrorism etc., cases.

40. He will fight corruption in public office through strict enforcement of anti corruption laws. He did before, he will do it again.

41. He plans to create serious crime squads to combat kidnapping, armed robbery, militancy, and ethno-religious/communal clashes nationwide.

42. GMB supports the vociferous calls for state and community police and would work to establish the principle.

43. He plans to make Nigeria a liberal society by removing issues such as state of origin, tribe, ethnic and religious affiliations and replace them with only the principle of state of residence.

44. He plans to immediately embark on vocational training, entrepreneurial and skill acquisition scheme for graduates to tackle youth and graduate unemployment.

45. GMB will create two million new jobs by 2015 when he ends his tenure.

46. He will create two million new home owners by 2015 through a nationwide mortgage system.

47. He plans to put in place a N300bn regional growth fund for the development of the regions of the federation.

48. GMB has pledged to do only the bidding of the masses and honest Nigerians and not serve a small click of business men as they are doing in PDP.

49. He is set to restore faith in the Nigerian project so that no ‘Andrew’ will check out again.

50. He will strengthen INEC and reduce/eliminate electoral malpractices.

51. He will institute a process of full disclosure of government business to the public.

63. Only GMB has the structure, personality, temperament and character to stop the drift in government and bring direction back to public administration.

64. What he did in road construction while in the PTF has not been matched by 12 wasted years of PDP who have squandered billions of naira building nothing.

65. As Head of state, taking over from the Pre-PDP government of Shagari, GMB reduced inflation from 23% to 4% in twenty months only.

66. In his regime, there was no single religious crisis unlike what we have today with PDP.

67. He put a final stop to the Maitasine sect in Kano. Today we have Mend, OPC, Boko Haram etc and the PDP is watching in amazement with.

69. Hospitals and Universities in the country have not received more benefits from PDP than they did from PTF under GMB.

70. As former petroleum minister and former Head of state, GMB owns no oil block, no petrol station unlike the PDP presidents.

73. The oppressors and political gladiators fear him and love to stop him but the Masses love him and would do all in their might to steer him to victory.

74. He is very liberal in his religious beliefs and that was why he appointed a Pentecostal and Charismatic Pastor as his vice.

77. His achievements in twenty months as Head of state dwarf those of all who came after him especially the now ending inept and corrupt 12 years of PDP.

79. Many people do not know that it was while working with PTF that Dora Akunyili was discovered and it was because of her antecedents working with GMB that Obasanjo appointed her into NAFDAC. See what PDP has done to her reputation.

80. GMB from the outset has identified with the poor masses in all his endeavours. That’s why he is called the People’s general. Now he will be called the ‘People President’.

81. His main opponent identifies with the rich. His close friends include, Femi Otedola, Aliko Dagote, Jim Ovia, Jimoh Ibrahim, the Anyiam Osigwes, James Ibori, DSP Alamieyeseigha, Peter Odili, Ebitimi Banigo, Olusegun Obasanjo, Anthony Anenih, etc who all have one thing in common.

Re: Reasons Why You Should Vote Buhari by Proxy001(m): 9:18pm On Jan 09, 2015
REASONS NOT TO VOTE BUHARI:-

1. He Is A Hypocrite And Sanctimonious: Buhari is a self-acclaimed anti-corruption Czar, yet he served under late Sani Abacha without complaining of corruption. In the same period Buhari served as PTF Chairman under Abacha, Nigeria was named the 2nd most corrupt country in the world in 1996 by Transparency International; the most corrupt country in 1997 and 3rdmost country in 1998.Buhari didn’t resign or protest. He dismissed the TI Report with a wave of the hand. Can he do the same if such report says Nigeria is the most corrupt country in 2014? I know that Buhari would protest and call President Jonathan names.Buhari as a man of integrity as he claims should have done what Tai Solarin, Duro Onabule and Ebitu Ukiwe did under IBB’s regime. IBB’s attempt to take Nigeria into the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) madehis Chief of General Staff, Ebitu Ukiwe to resign. Ukiwe maintained that Nigeria, as a country, should not be a member of a religious organisation. Individual organisation can take up membership of religious organisations, but not the country. IBB made Tai Solarin the chairman of Peoples Bank with no fund and power to run it; he resigned and tendered his apology to Nigerians.Buhari has not apologized to Nigerians for working for the most corrupt govt in the world then, but he still maintains that Abacha didn’t loot Nigeria dry even as Abacah loots are still being sent back to Nigeria.When he took over power by the gun, he supported rigging because it favoured him. But now, he is shouting of rigging. Hear him:“The last general election was anything but free and fair. The only political parties that could complain of election rigging are those parties that lacked the resources to rig.” – M. Buhari (First Speech after Military Coup, 31 December, 1983)2. He Is A Religious Fanatic And Extremist: Buhari believes that his religion is superior to other religions and that Koran supersedes ourconstitution. In 2001, he gave his total support for Sharia with this statement:“I will continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment to the Sharia movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria. God willing, we will not stop the agitation for the total implementation of the Sharia in the country.”-M. Buhari (August 27, 2001)He made the above statement after he had gone to BBC Hausa Service to condemn the then Vice President, Atiku Abubakar for urging Muslims states who adopted Sharia toreturn to the status quo.If you think that these statements mean nothing, then envision what would happen if a notable Christian political leader from the south make the same statement about spreading Christianity across Nigeria.Prior to the 2003 elections, he made another shocking statement:“Muslims should only vote those who will promote Islam. We are more than the Christians if you add our Muslim brothers in the West.”- M. Buhari (2003)3. He Introduced Kidnapping And Smuggling Into The Nigeria System:The story of Umaru Dikko is already well known that repeating it here amounts to tautology. However, Buhari and his ADC Col. Mustapha Jokolosupervisedthe smuggling of 53 suitcases filled with cashagainst the protests of Tunde Idiagbon and ironically, Abubakar Atiku (an APC bigwig), was the former DG of Customs. Do you still need to know why Buhari has never accused Atiku of being corrupt?4. He Is Not A Man of His Words: Buhari cried in public and said he won’t contest elections again, yet couldn’t keep his words:“This campaign is the third and last one for me; since, after it, I will not present myself again for election into office of the president.” – M. Buhari (April, 2011 at the Int’l Conference Centre, Abuja)Then again in 2014, he swallowed his words with this:“I humbly present myself to all Nigerians and to God, seeking to be elected as APC’s presidential candidate.” – M. Buhari (Oct., 15,2014 Eagle Square Abuja)5. He Is An Ethnic Bigot Who Thinks That Vendetta Is Fighting Corruption: After Buhari and his boys overthrew the govt of Shagari with the sole reason that the govt was highly corrupt, he locked up Dr. Alex Ekwueme – the then VP in Kirikiri maximum prison but left Shagari – the president and Head of govt in his mansion. Ekwueme was tried by the tribunal set-up by Buhari and the tribunal declared that he was even poorer than he wasbefore he came into office. Yet, Buhari jailed him and allowed Shagari to relax in his mansion.He gave Dede Sam Mbakwe 100-year jail term for stealing nothing and also went after his wife. Ambrose Ali was tried for an undeveloped plot of land and he was jailed for 75 years with heavy torture that led to blindness and later death. Jim Nwobodo and Lateef Jakande were jailed for 100 years for stealing nothing. Adekunle Ajasin was tried by a military tribunal and found innocent. Buhari ordered a fresh trial, he was found innocent again. Buhari changed the tribunal and tried him again. He was still found innocent. Buhari still jailed him. But, Buhari left his personal friend – Awwal Ibrahim – thethen highly corrupt governor of Niger State who was arrested at Heathrow airport with £14 million. Awwal was never jailed. He was placed under house arrest in his mansion like Shagari for just two weeks and indeed released.6. He Is A Coupist: Buhari has no moral ground to stand for an election in Nigeria because he’s a destroyer of democracy and can never benefit from it. He overthrew a duly elected govt and ruled illegitimately until he was kicked out. For those that claim he was invited, go read the recent interview by Chief Ebenezer Babatope on why Chief Solomon Lar was imprisoned by Buhari.7. He Doesn’t Talk or Act Like An Elder-statesman: He makes provocative statements that are capable of putting the country in crisis. This attitude caused the death of over 800 innocent lives including about 10 Corp members after he lost the 2011 elections. A man who considers himself as an elder-statesman and wants to rule Nigeria again should not be talking this way:“God willing, by 2015, something will happen.They either conduct a free and fair election or they go a very disgraceful way. If what happened in 2011 should again happen in 2015, by the grace of God, the dog and baboon would all be soaked in blood.” – M. Buhari“2015 will be bloody…” – M. BuhariBuhari snubbed the same Nigerians he now wants their votes by refusing to appear before Justice Oputa Truth and Reconciliation Panel. Buhari knew how important reconciliation is to the stability of democracy, yet he refused to appear before the panel.8. He Cannot Formulate A Good Economic Policy: True to that, Buhari is the only former Head of State without a legacy. Not even one, despite ruling with iron-fist for 2 years. Someone said, Environmental sanitation is his legacy LOL and I ask, how has that improved our economy? Or is Nigeria now thecleanest country in the world with a booming tourism industry? And again, those that attended his declaration were disappointed as he couldn’t present a manifesto on how he can solve the numerous problems confrontingNigeria. We keep hearing from the Buharists: “I will fight corruption; I will stop corruption; I will end corruption.” How? By mouth? Recall what BBC said about Buhari’s economic policy: “Buhari’s attempts to re-balance public finances by curbing imports led to many job losses and the closure of businesses. These losses were accompanied by a rise in prices and a decline in living standards.” His economic policy started the devaluation of naira. During Shagari/Ekweme’s regime, $1 = N0.550 but before the end of his tenure in 1985, $1 = N0.894.9. He Clamped Down On The Press: With the infamous Decree 4, he closed down Newspapers, arrested and jailed many journalists such as Ndukar Irabor and Tunde Thompson of the Guardian Newspaper on stories that were factual. He 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.At a point Tai Solarin became the only voice who could speak as he stood at the road corner and was distributing leaflets detailing the various atrocities of Buhari. He arre
