NIGERIA @ 62: Sadly, Buhari’s prized projects are gas pipeline, rail line to Niger Republic — Unagha.

It will take another 20 yrs to bring back Nigeria from Buhari’s bad leadership

•FG, NNPCL chasing rainbows with pipeline surveillance contract.

ALL Progressives Congress, APC, 2019 Presidential Aspirant, who, recently, defected to the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Mumakai Unagha, weekend, said the projects precious to President Muhammadu Buhari since he started contesting presidential elections in Nigeria, are the gas pipeline and rail line to the Niger Republic.

Unagha, a legal practitioner, who came down hard on the Federal Government and Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPCL, in an interview with Saturday Vanguard, accused them of building a castle in the air with the multi-billion naira pipeline surveillance contracts, awarded, recently, in the Niger Delta.

The Urhobo activist said: “Buhari has not only destroyed the economy of this nation, but Nigeria is also more divided in his government. Above all, corruption has reached the most dangerous proportion. It will take the country another 20 years for the nation to be established because of the bad leadership of President Buhari.

“I believe the next President will be more responsive to move the country from the mess we found ourselves. All these years, President Buhari has been contesting elections; he has two major projects dear to his heart. They are the construction of the gas pipeline and rail line to the Niger Republic to satisfy his desire.

“Come May 29, 2023, when the President will hand over to his successor, Nigerians will celebrate, pour champagne to give thanks and glory to God,” he said.

For some of us that are very keen and interested in the development of this country and voted Buhari with based on change mantra really felt disappointed.

I was disgusted with his comment of 5% at the early days of his administration, his inner believe that Fulani were marginalised and his low sense of attracting radical personalities like Pastor Tunde Bakare in place of people like Patanmi a fundamentalist shows his gross ineptitude and his average administrative capacity.

I watched with disappointment while the northern cabal drags the former Finance Minister Kemi Adeosun on a frivolous charges while protecting their big and useless appointees. All these are pointers to why his administration failed despite his genuine attempt to curb corruption and build infrastructure.

The likes of Fashola, Amaechi, PYO and some other brilliant ministers in his cabinets were made redundant while their ideas and innovation rotten in their brain.

Buhari is a mistake of the century. He failed despite his desires, his passion and his commitment to rescue the nation.

He is not just fit in and clueless with bright ideas to turn the nation around.

This is where Nigerians must watch carefully in 2023 while deciding who to vote.
I have watched the three major contestant and the only one we can try based on past record is Tinubu.

Peter Obi can best be described as MC ( Masters of Ceremony) based on his savings ideology and his elementary ideas of governance. He lacks the in-depth capacity to govern a dying country like Nigeria.

It would be a grave calamity to think where Madam Ngozi Okonjo Iwealla failed would be a place Obi would shine.

Atiku is just the the other side of Buhari, nothing good can come out of him.

May God help this nation

Incisive. I think the fundamental thinking guiding the actions of Buhari and those he surrounded himself with (like Daura, Pantami, Malami, kyari, Adamu etal) is the belief that Fulanis are marginalized and maltreated.

What has typified Buhari's use of power is the conviction of him and his cabal that the 'unfortunate' lot of Fulanis is the fault of the rest of us all.

They therefore rationalize abuse of power, in favour of Fulanis, to include those not even from Nigeria, as 'just' and divine. They do not feel they are doing wrong or that they owe the rest of us non-Fulanis anything.

Their conclusion then is that they must use ultimate power to redress this 'injustice' against Fulanis.

This is why Gumi etal can say and do what they wants while Igboho and Kanu must be hounded and hunted mercilessly.

Buhari could build the Nigerian equivalent of the Burj Khalifa but he would still be defined a huge failure because productive 'father of a nation' legacy is about uniting people, through leading then by example, to make all citizens productive tools of a nation's greatness whatever their ethnic, religious and sectional background.

Buhari divided Nigeria horribly along the most primordial lines that tends to cause egotistic wars, genocide, internecine strife, religious conflicts , ethnic cleansing, proliferation of child soldiers in civil conflict etc. In short everthing that will turn Nigeria into Sudan, Somalia or Afghanistan.

I may be wrong but I don't believe any of the candidates running, who can win, are as ethno-religiously chauvinistic as Buhari is

Nigerians need to choose wisely but I think we need to be cautiously happy that Buhari and his crew are leaving.

There's nothing that shows an Atiku president would be different. Choosing a leader goes beyond his personal ability. One should also look at the kind of people the candidate listen to, sadly Atiku doesn't have the inner caucus that have different ideology from that of Buhari. In short, Nigeria us in dare need of a leader in the mould of Mandella, Awolowo, Lee Kuan Yew
