I May Run In 2015, Says Buhari• He Is Upright – Obasanjo by Depointer1: 12:51am On Jun 01, 2012
Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, who was the presidential candidate of the Congress for Political Change (CPC) at the 2011 elections, said today he may run again for President in 2015.

If he does, he will be doing so for a fourth time, and in every election since Nigeria’s return to a democratic system.

His statement came on a day in Abuja when Buhari’s character was acknowledged by former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, who described him as an “upright” man.

Buhari had previously said he would not run again after 2011, but he indicated he might reconsider that position because of pressures from Nigerians and different groups.

The CPC leader made the remarks at the headquarters of the Congress for Progressive Change in Abuja where he had gone to show solidarity to some troubled members of its National Executive Committee (NEC). Only recently, the NEC was sacked by a faction of the party, and a factional leader installed.

“I said I was not going to submit myself for re-election in 2015,” he recalled. “But then I said, I would allow my party to decide. Since then, people have been coming, individually and groups, they have been talking to me.”

Obasanjo made his comment at a book launch in Abuja, at which Buhari was also present. Obasanjo, the two-time leader who is facing serial attacks upon his character and legacy from various sources, said he had found Buhari’s record to be unblemished.

OBJ knows that truth now should be told and he has seen the hand writing on the wall. Without been sentimental BUHARI is upright. GEJ has done him more favour by making people reason boyond tribalism that he should get the mandate and he is a substitute to PDP. OBJ might have resigned as PDP Bot in order to show sympathy for people of Nigeria, let us welcome OBJ to the winning group. SAI Buhari

Buhari is not, in a word, electable.

He does not have the capacity to move Nigeria forward. Infact, GEJ is still more intelligent than Buhari who had a brilliant chance to defeat PDP but squandered the opportunity only to be crying over an impending electoral defeat which he suffered in any case. He sees no other competent candidate but himself. He can not negotiate, make deal, or persuade. The only language he understands is violence, violence and his delightful expression of how blood would flow. Have you ever watched him mouthed the phrase "something bloody will happen in 2015" and how a sudden expression of joy written on his face? He is arrogant, selfish, blood thirty, sharia loving, non cerebral, a very timid soldier who by all definition not worthy of ever downing the colors of Nigerian military attire. Any vote cast for that man is a betrayal of intelligibility,a betrayal of history, a betrayal of secularism in Nigeria, a betrayal of peace and the eternal enthronement of arrogance, selfishness, incompetence and retrogression beyond what's currently bedeviling the nation. Since 2003, this man has not found someone worthy to also back as a supporter, what a profession! What a career! What a hobby! SAI Buhari a professional presidential candidate will surely appear on his epitaph.

As usual, I expect him to campaign, tour Kano and Maiduguri twenty times telling them that a vote cast for an infidel is a vote against Allah. I expect him to talk of Baboons and blood flowing like the River Niger. I expect him to form another party, SAI BUHARI PARTY of Nigeria, when the likes of El-Rufai chase him away from CPC. I expect Buhari at the end of it all to blame it on rigging. Of course in 2016, a year into the new administration, I expect IBB to call him an upright man so he can start preparing for 2019 elections!

Agh! Let Buhari do what he wants. He obviously still has alot of looted funds left over from when he was in government so he can afford to waste it repetitively on failed election campaigns. I am afraid that if he chooses to run for presidential elections and the majority of people don't vote him in, he will start a war in Nigeria. After that war, Nigeria might just disintegrate. Remember what Buhari metaphorically said about the dog and the baboon. Either way, I wish Buhari all the best in whatever he decides.

Buhari is a great man in his own right and I respect him as an elder statesman. But as far as a democracy is concerned in this digital age and time, Buhari is not the best that Nigeria has to offer.

Abuse of power is the worst form of corruption in leadership. Buhari abused power when he was military Head of State.

When Buhari seized power, he threw Alex Ekwueme into prison in KiriKiri and kept Shehu Shagari under house arrest. How do you explain such double standards?

During Buhari, journalists were brutalized, hushed and muzzled. Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabor were jailed under the evil laws of the Buhari regime.

During the Buhari regime, 53 suitcases were smuggled into the country at a time the nation's borders were closed because of the change in the colour of the national currency in 1984. Have we forgotten?

Under Buhari's regime, there was a law against 18 year olds going to Hajj. Tunde Idiagbon took his 14 year old son to Hajj and nothing happened.

Lawal Ojuolape, Benard Ogedengbe and Bartholomew Owoh; these three men were ordered to be executed by Buhari under a retroactive decree for the crime of drug trafficking which didn't carry a death penalty wen they committed the crime.

The late Tai Solarin was imprisoned and refused treatment for his asthma by this same Buhari.

Secretary General of the ruling NPN Uba Ahmed who was Buhari's tribesman was arrested at the airport only to be released on Buhari's orders and allowed to fly out of the country.

Buhari, like IBB and Abdusalami Abubakar treated the Oputa Panel with disdain. He refused to show up at the panel.

I will not vote for Buhari in 2015; not even if he picks the Pope as his running mate.

I see even the GEJ apologists can't even rout for him in 2015 but just don't want BUHARI. Our problem is that we know who will not be our president thereby living the field for all sorts of charlatans. Is it not because GEJ is absolutely useless that the likes of Buhari want another shot at the Presidency? Don't you know that performance reduces the crowd of pretenders to the throne?
