Before being MILITARY Head of State, Buhari had been Governor of one of the Northern States (under Obasanjo’s Military government) as well as Minister for Petroleum. He later served as Chairman of PTF under Abacha. Please consider the following unassailable facts: -

He birthed and supervised the establishment of our existing refineries. - There was no religious crisis while he was Head of State. It started under his successor IBB! -


In his time as Head of State he reduced inflation from 23% to 4%, by fiscal discipline and a homegrown economic team (not achieved under any other era, even military).


JJ Rawlings of Ghana took over 2 years before him, and killed all the corrupt leaders, while Buhari only sentenced the corrupt leaders here to prison.


Under his watch as PTF Chairman, what he did in road construction in that short period hasn't been matched by 12 years of the PDP. - Hospitals and universities around the country never witnessed as much benefits as they got from the PTF from any government after or before his time.



Despite serving in senior capacity in the oil sector, first as Minister for Petroleum and then Petroleum Trust Fund, Buhari has no petrol station,much less a rig, refinery or an oil block like so many of our leaders.


He could have retired into nauseating opulence like an IBB or Danjuma or even OBJ but didn't.



Instead of hobnobbing with the high and mighty, he has cast his lot with the ordinary man most of who follow him out of hope and belief in his values.People who know him have said of him... "All I need from Buhari is his word, I can take it to the bank".



He is the only politician in the North today who fills rallies without renting a crowd. The Kaduna rally of 2nd March is eloquent proof.



He refused to collect an allowance while serving as Chairman of the PTF because he said since he was already drawing a pension from government, his conscience would not allow him to draw another salary from the purse of the same government.



He is the only former head of state that does not own property or land in Abuja.



Every attempt to rubbish him through probes in time past ended up vindicating him! The man who was asked by OBJ to take over the running of PTF before it was scrapped with the aim of probing and indicting Buhari, was the one who ended up being prosecuted for misappropriating $100m of PTF funds! Buhari again, was vindicated



He has OPENLY challenged those who accuse him of religious fundamentalism to come out and show proof. No one has till today, taken up the challenge.His personal driver of many years is a Christian from Plateau State.



His government initiated the War Against Indiscipline that has made environmental cleanliness, queuing up, not urinating by the roadside etc features of our national life even till today

Vanpascore:
so with these your points, you believed that Jonathan has been the best?

Oklander:
Its a proof that he HAD the certs as at then.

SirShymex:
And what is he hiding? The same guy was once in the Nigerian army, and rose in ranks to the top. Ruled the country once. And has contested for presidency more than once, before this one.

So, does it really make sense to you? Use ya brain.

The whole thing is just childish and silly.

SirShymex:
The whole back and forth about certificate and illiteracy is both utterly shameful, and hysterical. Tragicomedy really.

If he never had a certificate, how was he able to get into the Nigerian army, and moved up in rank, to rule the country? Oh, he had a certificate then - but he has none now, no? It basically just shows how useless the Nigerian army is - and also how childish and idi.otic Nigerian politics is. Obviously, they know most Nigerians are stark illiterates, and it isn't shocking that folks can keep peddling absolute tosh, for childish smear campaign.

How about use something more meaningful and cerebral to attack the guy, and not all these useless gimmicks? All these folks are clowns!

atbu1983:
You are wrong. In Germany it is the Christian Democratic Union party that rules. The current chancellor (President) of Germany is from that Party.

Also if know your bible very well, u will know that the prophets in the bible were very much involve in politics. Some of them change kings through coup. Some of the prophets even instigate the people against the kings etc.

Unclerukus:
Its not surprising given that most church members and churches alike encourage materialism and unnecessary materialistic competitions into the church, where you see a family starving at home but save their annual wage to buy a ride to flash in church on sunday or people playing the who is the richest in the church game like worldly competitions,rubbish. so it was only a matter of time before politics enters into the house of God.

FastShipping:
Did the church lose it also when they allowed GEJ to kneel down and deceive the masses? You didn't have problem when GEJ knelt down in the middle of the church but you have serious problem for church to ask members to exercise their rights. I don't get your point.

HNosegbe:
He's a member of the APC. What else do you expect him to predict, a Jonathan victory?

PassingShot:
You must be a "baby". The Nigerian Army have already said they are in possession of altl the copies of his certificates. So what else?

. CARDINAL James Omolaja Odunmbaku has revealed that God has hearkened to the cries of Nigeria and He is ready to install the much-needed change at the federal seat of power.

In his New Year message to Nigerians, when the Buhari Campaign Organisation visited him in his office, the spiritualist, whose past warnings and predictions had saved individuals and establishments said 2015 would be joyful, fruitful and progressive for Nigerians.

Cardinal Odunmbaku who is incidentally the Deputy chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State and Chairman of All parties Campaign Committee in this year’s election declared that, ‘’ the era of suffering by the masses is over, God has decided to put smiles on their faces in 2015.”

The Lagos APC deputy chairman had earlier distributed 57 brand new campaign buses to the party leadership in the 20 local government areas and 37 Local Council Development Authorities (LCDAs) in the state as directed by the party’s apex body with state governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), the party’s Governorship candidate, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, the party’s chairman, Otunba Henry Ajomale and other party leaders also in attendance.

The clergyman cum politician, in his statement added “I am not speaking from my canal knowledge, I speak with the inspiration from the Holy Ghost and in spiritualism, there is no partiality, God’s message must be delivered the way it comes.

“Apart from the obvious jitters and confusion in the ruling party, people raised their voices in agony and pains, calling for a divine intervention, which God ,in His infinite mercy, has answered and would manifest through the elections in February ‘’ Cardinal Odunmbaku disclosed.

Baba Eto, as he is fondly called by teeming party followers, used the occasion to commend the state party chairman, Otunba Henry Ajomale for his pivotal role and strong belief in him (Odunmbaku) to champion the campaign of the party in the state.

ABIOLAXYZ:
Everything Is happening all because of Mr Gej appointing Incompetent as leaders of the armed forces.........How d armed forces say they didn't have former head of state credential.....

donphilopus:
Some of you are just too provocative. When Vanguard first broke the news that the Military said they were never with Buhari's Certificate, you guys were celebrating. Now, a former Secretary of the Board has just confirmed that indeed there are some Certificates belonging to some Generals in the board, you're now here blabbing.

How are we sure you guys won't request for his Marriage Certificate if he displays his SSCE for the world to see?! You guys are only weeping in advance for the outgoing President, Jonathan!

darepoju:
Nice move..
but every one knows u re doing dat because oshinbanjo is moving at a faster pace....

anyways....!
just play ur card well

As political manoeuvres towards the 2015 general elections intensify, the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) is jittery over the moves by Vice President Namadi Sambo to reconcile aggrieved members of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) across the country, Daily Sun can now reveal.

Vice President Sambo has embarked on an unexpected peace drive across the country, reconciling aggrieved aspirants of the party and galvanising support to ensure victory of the party in the coming polls.

Sources close to the APC revealed that the party was unsettled by the successes so far recorded by Sambo, especially in some key states.

The source said: “The APC is clearly shocked by the recent successful reconciliation between the two major contenders for the PDP ticket in Lagos State, which is an APC stronghold. Opposition leaders were pleased with the earlier division in the Lagos PDP following disagreements on conduct of the primary election. But now the story is different.

It was also gathered that the strategy by Sambo has also effectively checked an impending mass exodus from the PDP following disagreements over the conduct of primary elections in some states. The APC was banking on such defections to consolidate its hope for victory in 2015.

The Lagos APC has since noticed the implication of the reconciliation between the PDP governorship candidate in the state, Mr. Jimmy Agbaje and his major opponent, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro. It was Vice President Sambo that succeeded in bringing the two men together with both agreeing to work together for the victory of PDP in Lagos.

“The APC is apparently aware of the PDP inroads in the state, that is why the state Governor, Babatunde Fashola and other party stalwarts have stepped up campaign for their party’s candidate because they are now aware that it is not going to be a tea party,” the source revealed.

The Sambo reconciliation train has also been to Yobe, Zamfara, Sokoto, Kebbi and his home state, Kaduna.

It was further gathered that in all the states, Sambo recorded success, as all aspirants agreed to work with the flag bearers of the party in bringing electoral victory to the PDP this year.

In Lagos State, for instance, the APC is said to be jittery over possible protest votes by the large population of voters from the South East over a protracted disagreement with the Fashola regime, which deported Igbo from the state in 2012.

Now he is unscrupulous? After serving the government at the centre 'meritoriously'
