3. OFFICE OF THE FIRST LADY: To Be or Not To Be?
On December 26,2014, Buhari specifically said in Kaduna that there will be NO Office of the First Lady if elected. He said the Ministry of Women Affairs will be allowed to play such role. He was very emphatic, which I believe was in tandem with our constitution. However, we are witnessing a turn around where his wife Mrs Aisha Buhari has been touring the country campaigning for her husband. Mrs Aisha in a speech on January 24, 2015 said “If the office of the first lady is constitutionally recognised, he will not tamper with it, but if it is not, that’s okay.". (www.punchng.com/news/buhari-wont-scrap-first-ladys-office-wife/ ). One begins to wonder whether Mrs Buhari doesn't know that the office is unconstitutional and the "IF" in her statement is not even in contention or Is it that Gen Buhari has changed his mind with respect to the office(which I insist is unconstitutional).

2. CORRUPT OFFICIALS PROBE: Compromised or Clipped?
In 2012 while speaking with SaharaTV, Buhari decried the level of corruption and scams going on since 1999, specifically the the $6.8 billion dollars fuel subsidy fraud, the N155 billion Malabu oil block scam, and the N36.8 billion police pension scheme. He advocated for government to prosecute, arrest and execute indicted officials based on documentary evidence. In his firm and assertive manner, he said
“Just use the documentary evidence and prosecute them and jail them or shoot them.”

Buhari since 2003 has made it clear that he's coming to rid the system off corruption and bring perpetrators to justice. This is one attribute of his that even his detractors admired. We were shocked to the bones when John Oyegun on December 29, 2014 said that the APC and Buhari has agreed "Not to probe the past". More shocking was Buhari's speech in London on Feb 26, when he said he won't probe the past (thecityreporters.com/i-wont-probe-past-nigerian-leaders-buhari/ ). One begins to wonder whether Muhammadu Buhari has given up on the probe of former thieves so as not to offend the cabals within his party or he has been clipped by the "cabals" within his party who knows that probing the past will send them to jail. If Buhari insist on not probing the past, then he has to apologise to Second Republic Politicians that he visited their sins when he came onboard. He also has no business in Aso Rock as the incumbent is also focusing on the present(which he plan to do).

Greece fell for the "change" scam. 1 month after, they are now protesting violently against a new government they elected on January 25. Sentiments apart, PDP is not doing so well, but APC has NOTHING to offer Nigeria especially unity and peace wise.

Anyone that thinks that Tinubu is in this venture for nothing but to make gains must have a rethink. A Buhari govt will be so burdened it can't take off. Only Buhari, Tinubu and God know the insurance which Tinubu has against Buhari. Because Tinubu is a big time business man and knows no patriotism.

My brother, I was expecting them to put forward their own argument rather than try to derail.

If you listened well, Buhari answered your questions at the same Chatham house. He said if he was to go after corrupt officials, his government will not have time to face more serious issues of nation building.

Buhari is the BEST Deceiver I have ever seen, how can you say you will not look into the past? You will not consider the faulty foundation as per your earlier allegations? You will not probe the evil of the past leaders to set a precedence against the future?

It is because you need the corrupt leader’s supports?

It is because Buhari's cronies are involve?

It is because Buhari of 2003, 2007 and 2011 is now different from the Buhari of 2015?

What has CHANGE?

Charity they say begins at home: Where is the example of good governance in APC states that warrant the abuse of the word CHANGE?

It is high time APC stopped deceiving gullible Nigerians with the useless slogan of CHANGE.

. . . . . . . . . .again, a case of comprehension my friend . . . . . . . . . .what's in Aisha Buhari's quote that has contradicted Buhari's stand?

Truckpusher:
The truth is we just have to Take it that we are dealing with men that their lives was built on lies and deceit.

The PDP should do everything humanly possible to keep these criminals where they belong after the election.

It's a tactic to make the thread look irrelevant .

I have warned you. They are DEMONS in human clothing.

They will use any kind of tactic to weigh you down.

I know them .

Truckpusher:
I do know that PDP didn't do very great but when I see the collection of conmen and criminals ganging up and calling themselves APC I can't help but figure out that these guys are out their to use Buhari and buy Nigeria but only Jonathan and some good men will defeat them .

Is your analysis for the feeble minded? the ones that do not reason beyond the surface?
And when will you analyse the falling naira, the job scams, the source of campaign funding for GEJ and the insecurity (which you seem very concerned about).

barcanista:
that is why we should watch them carefully. It is so sad that they are yet to live their change. The most painful is that Buhari that was known to be uncompromising is singing the tune. It is either he has been pretending or he finally compromised or he is being played by the "dons"

Chigold101:
well we all know that GEJ is a “corrupt clueless“ person...
Therefore he doesnt need anymore probing from us but when [b]“Apostle of Cleanliness & Saint Buhari [/b]begins to do those things he said he wont do, then it becomes imparative for us to PROBE DEEPER into his activities...

As for me and my families, APC is not a political party. APC is a Gang! You can check the definition of gang here if u r in doubt: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gang

What you fail to realize is that is that you have unfatiguely sold Buhari's candidacy right on this very forum when you were not yet"threatened"and seeking for"protection".

You deserved a worthy mention,God willing when Buhari wins,even though you later went back to your vomit.

I dislike propanganda politics as i prefer we talk and debate real issues that affect each and every one of our lives.

Unfortunately,you have revert back to what PDP has been doing since the election campaign began........propanganda,a shame and tactless approach,if you ask me.

I know you are trying to stay relevant here,but in all honesty,you have lost whatever prestige and respect you had,even among your"old vomit".Cyberwolf a PDP/GEJ support is wary of you.I guess that's the price you pay for speaking with both side of the mouth,a trait that is not known with men of honour,intergrity and class.

A Borno based pastor have been singing to who ever cares to listen that he have the names of those who partook in sharing theN7 billion bounty,confirming the allegation Amechi made.

I want to believe you were on a vacation on a lonely island that you missed the news.

The electorates mind have already been made up as to who they would want to see in Aso rock come may 29,propanganda or not,half truth or not,there minds have been made up.

I'm surprised you never made mention of GEJ sharing dollars to traditional rulers,the leaders of igbo's in lagos or the recent sharing of dollars to bloggers in lagos.

He that comes with equity must come with clean hands is your favourite cliche,my bad......
I forgot you are now back to your old vomit,forgive me.

No new propanganda by you,PDP or GEJ can stop the Amiable General from marching to Aso rock come may 29.

Is it not Obvious that GMB cannot be trusted?
He was in the forefront advocating for Amnesty for Bokoharam but recently he has turned to say he won't grant Amnesty to Bokoharam. We should not be deceived, the moneybags have taken over. He can't even predict his next step. I can see the hands of the frogged eye politician in this. Who ever beleives in these fake change agents are nothing but political jobbers.

OrlandoOwoh:
There is no office of a first lady. If Buhari decides to stop the fraudulent allocation of fund to a non-existent office, he is on course.
OP, I advised you to take a break from this forum but you refused. See the way you keep making flaws. How do you feel when forumites go to your archive to lift your own comments to counter you? O fi owo re se ara e.
