Buhari: Reason For The Tears by DuDelignc: 5:58am On Apr 14, 2011
Much has been said about General Buhari's tears, however, hardly anything has been mentioned about the speech that lead to those tears.  Now we can peruse and ponder.

Buhari weeps as presidential campaign winds down

Presidential standard bearer of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), shed tears while presenting his speech on the occasion, marking the end of his presidential campaign at the International Conference Centre in Abuja yesterday.
Buhari, who was honoured as the ‘Noble Father of Nigerian Youths and the Icon of Nigerian Democracy’ by the Nigerian Youths Organisation (NYO), regretted that the 12 years of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) administration in the country had witnessed a painful and unforgettable look of dejection and despondency on the faces of Nigerians, adding that it had left Nigerians without hope of respite in the near future.
Moved with emotion, Buhari, who continuously wiped away tears from his eyes as he read his speech, said that Saturday’s presidential election would be the last time he would offer himself for election into the office of the president.
He reminded Nigerians that he never touched any kobo belonging to the public throughout his involvement in the management of public funds, challenging all the presidential candidates to make the same claim before the Nigerian public if their conscience was clear.
Buhari said: “The suffering majority of Nigerian citizens have witnessed the systematic raping and pillaging of the country’s economy by parties and individuals without much thought for due process or care for tomorrow.”
He noted that the process had turned a potentially-rich Nigeria into an international basket case, turning all golden opportunities in the country into an intractable problem. Buhari also said he was seeking to replace the PDP government because it has done so much havoc to the Nigerian people and their reputation, stressing that he joined the presidential race out of personal conviction and concern for the welfare of the Nigerian people.
In his statement, the NYO chairman, Ebenezer Oyetakin, said t he youths of Nigeria decided to give the two awards to the former military head of state because the group has followed his proven integrity, as well as his antecedents since his engagements in public office as an incorrupt leader who has relentlessly insisted that democracy should be practiced constitutionally.

Having squandered most of the estimated 2.8 billion dollars that he looted from public treasuries during his grab-fest as military despot, and later as an imposed bandit in the Petroleum Theft Fund, Ayatollah Buggari-Bin Laden had placed all his rotten eggs in the shattered basket of his latest FAILED election toilet run, in the futile hope of recouping his losses via massive embezzlement, once in office as Nigeria's Jihadist in Chief.

On finally realizing that his deranged ambition to turn Nigeria into an arm-amputating Islamic failed state was doomed to spectacular failure just as surely as were all his past frantic grabs for political power, the Ayatollah suffered a nervous breakdown that will hopefully predispose him to commit a gruesome suicide sooner rather than later.

Die Ayatollah Buggari-Bin Laden,  die ha ha ha !

Early warning signs: NERVOUS BREAK DOWN.

He is unfit for the office. He cannot bear the weight of the pressures associated with the job.

It is very painful! How i wish he becomes the next president. Jonathan is a good man who is willing to do the right thing. But he works with educated crooks who cares for their families alone. I have not decided who to vote in at present.i belief God is in control.
