"Do I support Buhari’s decision to contest for the presidency of Nigeria? My answer is no. And I will explain................. Muhammadu Buhari as a military general had more room for manoeuvre than he can ever hope for in Nigerian Politics."

Same applies to most if not all the retired military folks that had occupied political office too.
