Over the past few months, the APC
have tried to paint Buhari as the
candidate of change. They have
tried to hide his abysmal record in
office and their only hope is that
voters won't look too closely at
their flagbearer. Don't let that happen.
Forward this message now to 5 friends
and talk to your friends and family who
aren't active online. Make sure they know
who Buhari really is.
We can't go back to the old ways! We
must keep Nigeria moving forward.
10 Things Buhari and the APC don't
want you to know:
1. He overthrew democracy
Buhari claims to respect democracy,
however in 1983 he overthrew the
civilian government and put in place his
own harsh, military regime.
2. He indiscriminately arrested and
detained opponents and tortured and
executed prisoners
Buhari's brutal crackdown began with
Decree No. 2 of 1984, which allowed
Buhari's chief of staff to arrest and detain
anyone indefinitely without trial. When
Buhari was overthrown in 1985, the
Inspector-General of the Police opened
the prison doors on national television,
revealing people, many of them torture
victims, in various stages of malnutrition.
Buhari used retroactive laws to impose
death sentences and expelled hundreds of
thousands of foreigners who had migrated
to Nigeria.
3. He ended press freedom and arrested
journalists and artists
After seizing power, Buhari announced a
decree that made the publication of
"critical articles" a crime. He used the
decree to jail many journalists, including
Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabo. He
didn't stop with journalists, also jailing
prominent artists such as Fela Kuti.
4. He failed to fight corruption, despite
brutal tactics
Buhari claims to be an anti-corruption
crusader. However, as head of state he
failed to curb corruption in the country.
He implemented a "war against
indiscipline," which was carried to
"sadistic levels, glorying in the
humiliation of a people," wrote the Nobel
laureate and writer Wole Soyinka. Buhari
forced civil servants, even older ones, to
perform frog jumps if they were late for
work, and ordered the "notoriously
unruly Nigerians" to form neat queues at
bus stops, under the sharp eyes of whip-
wielding soldiers. Despite his brutal
tactics, corruption was not curbed under
his rule.
5. He destroyed Nigeria's economy
In the name of curbing imports and
fighting corruption, Buhari implemented
policies that led to countless job losses
and the closure of businesses. He ordered
that the currency be replaced, forcing all
holders of old notes to exchange them at
banks within a limited period. Prices rose
and living standards fell sharply.
6. Billions went missing under his watch
When Buhari served as chairman of the
notoriously corrupt Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) under
Olusegun Obasanjo, $2.8 billion in oil
revenue went missing under his watch.
When the Federal Government attempted
to investigate his complicity, the principal
witness who was set to release evidence
to implicate Buhari died in mysterious
circumstances.
7. His record was so poor that he was
removed from power
After just 20 months of brutal rule, driven
by a sharp fall in living standards and
criticisms over human rights abuses,
Buhari was removed from power in a
coup led by General Ibrahim Babangida.
8. He would rather divide Nigerians by
region and religion than unite them
During Buhari's rule, he was
unapologetically northern. He made no
attempt to balance his government, which
was the only regime in Nigeria's history
headed by two Northerners. He declared
that Muslims should vote only for
Muslims and became an advocate for
implementation of Sharia all over Nigeria.
9. He incited violence following his
failure to win the 2011 election
Buhari's inflammatory statements
following his loss in the 2011 presidential
elections incited widespread violence in
the North. His supporters went on a
rampage, looting and killing, despite an
international consensus that the elections
were judged the most free and fair in
Nigeria's history. All told, over 800 people
were killed and some 65,000 displaced
during the post-election violence. Buhari
later told loyalists, "If what happened in
2011 should again happen in 2015, by the
grace of God, the dog and the baboon
would all be soaked in blood".
10. A petition has been filed against
him in the International Criminal Court
(ICC)
In December 2014 a petition was filed
with the Prosecutor of the International
Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, calling
for the prosecution of General
Muhammadu Buhari for inciting violence
following the 2011 elections. The ICC has
been looking into possible war crimes in
Nigeria since 2010. The criminal acts
alleged in that complaint include murder,
torture, rape, and the burning of people.
Among the allegations: On April 16, 2011,
during one of Buhari's campaign rallies he
called upon supporters and loyalists "to
destroy, kill and maim men, women, and
children" who were opposed to his
candidature.
We can't afford to go back to the old ways
under another Buhari regime. Keep
Nigeria moving forward by voting for
Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP on
February 14!

Buhari will win the twelve states he won in the 2011 elections and secure maybe five states in the South-West. He will make gains in the South-South and South-East/, where he did not campaign at all in 2011. Jonathan will be losing votes where he was very secure in 2011. The total tally nationwide will favor General Buhari. All I know is that he will be our next president and nothing is going to be done about It... All this are just Rubish #VoteBuhari come February 14.
