Is Muhammadu Buhari Able To Implement Changes He Promises? by paullo240: 11:29pm On Mar 23, 2015
asks Muhammadu Buhari, the
APC presidential candidate, three
questions that challenge his capability to
bring on the change Nigerians are waiting
for.
It is true that Nigerians crave for positive

change that would bring about sustainable
socioeconomic growth and development to
Nigeria. The APC and Muhammadu Buhari, its
presidential candidate, have been skillfully
using “change” as a keyword in their
campaigns.

Based on perception of the concept of
“change” created by the APC, Nigerians may
be divided into three categories:
1) those convinced that Buhari and the APC
cannot bring about the change Nigeria needs,

2) those seriously pondering over the
possibility of the APC to induce the change,
and

3) those assuming that the APC can provide
the change Nigerians long for.
As far as I belong to the second category, I
would like to examine the capability of Buhari
and the APC by putting forward the following
questions for Buhari:

“Am I physically and mentally capable
enough to pilot Nigeria’s affairs?”
We are living in the era of information.
Demographic and technological changes, as
well as global economic challenges are
impacting the survival of a nation. Therefore,
Nigeria, which hosts about 180 million
people, needs an open-minded, young,
vibrant and well-educated leader in order to
thrive and function successfully. However,
Buhari is old, and we all know that old age is
usually followed by weakness. He has not
received any formal education and appears
to lack important analytical and problem-
solving skills that are needed to confront local
and global issues Nigeria is facing.

Moreover, old age also comes with illnesses.
The common diseases associated with age are
the central nervous and cardiovascular
diseases. Memory loss is a typical central
nervous disorder for ageing people. Buhari
couldn’t remember the name of his running
mate and what “INEC” stands for. Does it
make sense to elect a leader who is already
showing symptoms of memory loss and other
age-related complications?
Recently, the running mate of the retired
general, professor Yemi Osinbajo, made it
clear to Nigerians that he had “prepared
himself to rule Nigeria once something bad
[death] befalls Buhari” if Buhari is elected
president!

It can therefore be inferred that Yemi
Osinbajo is already anticipating that Buhari
will not last long on the presidential throne if
elected president come March 28, 2015! Does
Nigeria need a president who might die in the
office?

Ayodele Fayose, Ekiti state governor, must
have analyzed this situation before stating
the “absolute conclusion and truth” that
Buhari himself does not have the required
physical and mental capabilities to rule a
nation. Therefore, he is not able to bring
about the change Nigerians are looking for!

“Am I truthful to Nigerians?”
Buhari said he borrowed N27 million from
the bank to purchase his presidential form.
But, at the same time his wife donated about
N135 million or more to Adamawa IDPs!
Buhari states he does not have any property
and assets and lives on his pension. However,
he was able to borrow money from the bank
to power his presidential campaigns in 2003,
2007 and 2011. Could the bank dish out
billions of naira three consecutive times to
someone who doesn’t provide any collateral?

I am strongly convinced Buhari is yet to tell
Nigerians the truth about who he really is
and what amount of wealth he accrued for
himself from state treasury when he was the
head of state, PTF and NNPC! Buhari is a
pretender, and a pretender cannot effect the
positive change Nigerians are longing for!

“Can a lying political party bring about
positive change?”

The APC is now denoted as a party of “one
week – one lie”. Let’s take a few examples of
obvious lies the APC has told Nigerians this
year, 2015.
In January, the vice-presidential candidate of
the APC, professor Yemi Osinbajo, posted a
photo of Reinhard Bonnke’s crusade in the
media and lied to Nigerians that the
mammoth crowd on the photo represent
Nigerians awaiting Buhari during the APC rally
in Kano. Can a lying pastor and attorney
bring on the change Nigerians yearn for?
In February, the APC lied to Nigerians that
Buhari did not undergo any medical
examination during his visit to the UK. In
order to authenticate this lie, the APC stated
that Buhari had a meeting with Tony Blair,
former British prime minister, providing a
photo of a previously arranged interview
Buhari had with Kemi in Abuja. Can a party
that consistently lies so as to seize the power
be the change we need in Nigeria?

Blair

To sum it up, the above facts show that the
APC, full of lies and propaganda, does not
represent the change Nigeria craves for.
Open your eyes and save Nigeria’s future
with your vote!

God bless Nigeria, God bless us all.
