Just watched the video and I was totally impress. Why are some people always full of lies and propaganda?

MizMyColi:
Anyone can live in denial all they want, but his answer to the 2001 Sharia question leaves a lot to be desired.

It is improper the way some folks up there are distorting facts. I downloaded the video.

Mehdi did not mix Sharia with Boko Haram. It was the president who left the Sharia question and started heaping blames on Boko Haram.

Rubbish! You talk as if you're the only person that watched it.

AMINDA:
You are obviously not smart if you fail to see the correlation between boko haram and sharia. It is known that boko haram are supposedly fighting to impose sharia. The President is a Muslim who's views on his religious beliefs should be respected. Boko haram are clearly not Muslims and the President is not considering imposing sharia on Nigerians. What part of his reply was dishonest?

PUBLIC domain? You expect a President of a sovereign state like Nigeria to try it's army generals based on reports on the Internet? Were you dropped on your head as a child? It's in the "Public Domain" that Jonathan is irredeemably corrupt, going by your logic, he should be cooling off in jail by now.

I’ll meet other generals to draft anti-terror plan – Buhari

The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Wednesday said that though Nigeria is a rich nation, its people are extremely poor due to bad governance.

He also promised to involve serving and retired military generals to devise an effective strategy to crush insurgency in the country, if elected as President in 2015.

moderation2020:
President Muhammadu Buhari was on Upfront with Mehdi Hasan on Al Jazeera today and the retired general was roasted like suya on a dusty road in his hometown of Daura.
Buhari is a one-trick pony with depth-free answers to all questions – anti-corruption, security, relocating the army command to Maiduguri and so on. He tries to stick to that script and ends up not answering the questions or the follow-up.

Hasan asked Buhari if he could defeat Boko Haram by December as he claimed. He told the president that over 1,000 people have died since he was elected and that things were not getting better. All Buhari could offer was that “we are being honest about it”. He then claimed that Boko Haram are now restricted to Sambisa Forest and that they would be finished after the rainy season. If the insurgents are like Fred Astaire and prefer “dancing in the rain”, the president didn’t quite explain.
He was asked about how he knocked the former president for being unable to rescue the Chibok girls and he said he was willing to negotiate to ensure their rescue. He wasn’t quite clear on what he would negotiate with, money or prisoners. It was clear that the president had been informed about the need for negotiation, but not briefed on the intricacies of the matter.


Mehdi Hasan: has form in embarrassing Nigerian officials
The president dropped the ball on the questioning around human rights abuses by the military. He claimed that he had not received the report from Amnesty International. He was then told that the report was in the public domain. He stuck to the script, only to be told that it was not a new report. A proactive president would have asked to be given the report and then read it and take appropriate action to investigate. It was clear that the president didn’t care about human rights abuses by the military. The default position of people in this situation is to deny knowledge.

The biggest embarrassment was when Hasan showed he had done his homework by questioning Buharia on his comments about Sharia in 2001. Buhari advocated the total impostion of Sharia law, which is what Boko Haram are about. The president tried to claim that Boko Haram are not about Islam, but Hasan was having none of it. He repeated the question to Buhari whether he supported the imposition of Sharia Law. When pressed to answer the question, Buhari almost lost his rag.
The president ducked the question and said he couldn’t impose it. He never said anything about whether he supported it.
His silence on this was very revealing.

Just yesterday, a brigadier-general was dismissed and sentenced to jail. You can bet that there would be more but it wouldn't be because amnesty international or John Kerry said so.

Hd was DISHONEST by not stating whether he still CONTINUES to support the use of Sharia law throughout Nigeria as he stated in 2001. He only said he alone cannot change the constitution.
That is being dishonest, not so

Bennyberry:
only a fool would carry out judgement based on what he sees on the internet.

rightym:
Wailers pls leave PMB alone let him deliver the change he promised us.

On DE interview, I score him 95%, cos he was in charge and brave.

Would you as a Christian deny that you don't want Christianity as the sole religion world over? I think no...
His answer hinged on the take of our constitution regarding right to religion was spot...In other words, he meant as a muslim, he's okay with sharia but he's not in support of any campaign to force his religion or it's tenets on others...
How else would you have him answer such tricky questions?

AMINDA:
You are trying to distort facts. You probably didn't watch the interview or you are functioning on a single digit I.Q. The interviewer asked point blank on when Buhari was going to persecute the nine people named in the amnesty report. What an affront. He even said John Kerry said Nigerian soldiers do not respect human rights, implying that the President should take decisions based on his verdict. Buhari is not a puppet, and we all know investigations are going on, at our own pace. Just yesterday, a brigadier-general was dismissed and sentenced to jail. You can bet that there would be more but it wouldn't be because amnesty international or John Kerry said so.

MizMyColi:


Interesting.
So, as a Nationalist, he's okay with a law that takes little or no cognizance of human rights, chopping off parts of their body and executing people over "meagre" offences.

There is nothing tricky about the question.
A statement was attributed to him, he was asked if he still held such views, a yes or no would have sufficed.

When you use the words "we will not stop AGITATING for the full implementation..."
What does that suggest to you?

Adminisher:


There are too many kids on Nairaland.
Immature and inexperienced.
The Nigerian Army is guilty of human rights abuses. Serious unspeakable ones but no President of Nigeria should admit it in public.
The statement by Buhari that he has not seen the report is very honest. No President..I repeat no president should govern Nigeria from hogwash on the Internet. The Al Jazeera moderator got a one sentence lecture about how a responsible leader of a nation does not take decisions based on Internet material and it was obvious he was embarassed by mentioning that the information was in the public domain. The President maintained that he won't act without the AI report and won't jail generals based on Internet reports.

President gave a detailed explanation of things on ground for defeating Boko Haram in December including the MNJTF bit of it. Maybe a little too detailed. All in all a very good interview.

If you want a Nigerian President who will tell Al Jazeera that he will try his generals (Ihejirika, Minimah et.c) for human rights abuses without investigation based on their own accusations then look for another clueless man to vote into office
