The Sins of Buhari by Professor Tam David West
April 14, 2011 at 3:45pm

General Muhammadu Buhari is a man revered for his honesty, transparency, integrity and desire for justice for the common man. The idea of a Buhari Presidency is dreaded by some Nigerians who have looted the nation to stupor. These selfish politicians who want to keep Nigerians in poverty often embark on a campaign of calumny by framing up accusations against Buhari in order to prevent Nigerians from voting for a leader who loves the masses and has the mind to change the fortunes of Nigeria for the better. Other anti-Buhari commentators have admitted that they are prejudiced against him (for no just cause). Some do not even know the truths about the allegations. Some misunderstand the man because of his straight forward and disciplined approach to life. Below is a compilation of the so called sins of Buhari obtained mainly from The Sixteen Sins of Buhari, written by Professor Tam David West, a man who worked closely with Buhari as Minister for Petroleum when General Buhari was Head of State. Facts have also been sourced from a few other sources to help Nigerians know the truth about this man whose presidency will undoubtedly change Nigeria for the better. Going by his unassuming nature, Buhari will not fight to protect his own name. This is why concerned Nigerians have decided to take up this fight. We must no longer let mischief makers who do not want the good of the average Nigerian deceive the
Nigerian public.

Human Rights Abuse
Human rights must be protected and must not be abused. However, those who single out the military rule of Buhari for human rights violations are biased.

The Buhari regime was a military regime. Military regimes have not been known to uphold the same standards of human rights as democracies. There was hardly any military regime in Nigeria that was not characterized by dictatorship and violation of fundamental rights. Military Heads of States gave orders that violated human rights. Some have accused Buhari of ordering executions. However, unlike other military Heads of States who single handedly ordered executions, Buhari never took decisions unilaterally. He practiced democracy even as a military Head of State. Decisions were taken by the Supreme Military Council (SMC).

President Buhari will not order the execution of accused persons because it is the responsibility of the judiciary to pass sentences. President Buhari will not be a dictator because he has matured into a democrat and has participated actively in the democratic process since 1999. President Buhari cannot be a dictator because the democratic environment is different from the military environment. General Buhari has shown his faith in the democratic process by contesting for the presidency twice. When he lost under controversial circumstances, he demonstrated his faith in the judiciary by challenging the results through the laid down procedures of the court system. Therefore Nigerians should welcome whole heartedly Muhammadu Buhari, the democrat.

Retroactive Laws

General Buhari has been attacked for making retroactive laws by which he targeted corrupt practices which robbed Nigeria of vital income. Decree Number 20 of 1984 on bunkering and illegal oil deals was aimed at stopping the theft of oil which at the time cost Nigeria over $2 million per day. Again that was the only way a patriotic and zealous military Head of State could have saved Nigeria from the clutches of corruption. That retroactive law put an end to the theft of oil. Other Nigerian military Heads of States also made retroactive laws. The United Nations tribunals at Nuremberg and Tokyo which tried perpetrators of World War II atrocities operated based on retroactive laws. Retroactive laws simply fulfilled the maxim, "desperate diseases require desperate remedies". A democratic government will be different at least because it is characterized by separation of powers. As such, President Buhari cannot and will not make retroactive decrees as it is the duty of the National Assembly to make laws in a democracy.

Islam Fundamentalist

Buhari has been accused by mischief makers of religious fundamentalism. He was quoted out-of-context as saying that muslims should vote for only muslims. If this were true, can he be hanged for it when Christian clerics have also been known to advocate that Christians should vote only for Christians? But Buhari’s rebuttal of this charge, "I am not a religious fundamentalist …" was published on Saturday Sun on 3 July 2004. Do you know that as Head of State, General Buhari bulldozed mosques that were constructed illegally? Do you know that he arrested and detained a number of Islamic preachers for violent sermons? Do you know that as an army commander, most of Buhari’s men from platoon to division were Christians? Do you know that it was Obasanjo, not Buhari who took Nigeria into the membership of the Islamic Bank? Do you know that it was Babangida, not Buhari who sought to secretly take Nigeria into membership of the Organization of Islamic Countries? How then can Buhari be said to be an Islam fundamentalist? Buhari is simply a devout muslim who is committed to his faith without trying to impose it on anyone.

Decree 4 and Press Freedom

Admittedly, Decree 4 seemed to negate some principles of press freedom. Again, it must be stated that the Buhari regime was a military regime. Military regimes are not known to guarantee press freedom as well as democracies. Those jailed under decree 4 included two journalists reporting for a major Newspaper. The newspaper was fined N50, 000. Its offence was that it published before the official time the list of Nigeria’s ambassadorial postings. This was invariably a breach of state security. Governments all over the world seek to preserve information that is essential for state security. Even the United States, the chief advocate of press freedom is seeking to arrest the founder of Wikileaks for publishing state secrets. Despite this, the Buhari regime should be applauded because it never closed down or proscribed any newspaper or magazine. Other military regimes, particularly the Obasanjo and Babangida regimes seized and proscribed newspapers and magazines with impunity.

Decree 3 and Shagari Regime Politicians

The Buhari regime passed the Recovery of Public Property (Special Military Tribunal’s Decree No. 3 of 1984) to try the corrupt politicians in Shagari’s government. Admittedly, the sentences handed over to the culprits may have been outrageous but this was again characteristic of military regimes, not just Buhari’s regime. Some military regimes were known to hand down life sentences to persons against whom they framed up accusations. Did Buhari frame up accusations against anyone? Certainly not! Even Buhari’s critics have admitted that the Shagari’s government was outrageously corrupt. In the process, Buhari saved Nigeria hundreds of millions of naira. Again in a democracy, President Buhari will not hand down sentences on anyone because it is the responsibility of the courts to do so. Other governments including civilian administrations have been known to manipulate anti-corruption agencies because they had something to hide or someone to protect. Not so for Buhari. He has nothing to hide and no one to protect.

The 53 Suit Cases Saga
Below is an excerpt of a profile of Muhammadu Buhari written by Oluwarotimi Fashakin and published on Elombah.com:
Owing to the damaging effect of currency trafficking outside the Nation’s shores, the Buhari administration decided to change the colors of the currency notes in April 1984. This yielded the desired result as N5Billion excess liquidity was mopped off! As a back-lash on this exercise, there was insidious story from a section of the media that the Buhari regime allowed the Emir of Gwandu, Alhaji Jokolo to bring in 53 suitcases during the currency change, thereby insinuating a case of double-standard. Let it be said from the onset, the opinion tenaciously held on to about this incident was what was sold to the unsuspecting Nigerian public by a section of the press. So much hoodwinked that Buhari's explanation had never been heard!

This is what Buhari said about this:
"This is a typical case of the press believing what they want to believe. I hope it is not a reflection of the Nigerian society. I hope one day you will find the time to interview the Vice President (Alhaji Atiku Abubakar) on this. I understand he was the Customs officer in charge of the Murtala Mohammed airport, perhaps he knows more about it than myself. I have explained this so many times but the press write what they want to write and not what is factual."

Going down the memory lane, he added: "I recall the day in question. We were playing squash with my ADC when his father, the late Emir was returning to the country. He was a well-respected person. I prompted Jokolo to go and receive him even when he had no intention of doing so. By some coincidence his father was returning with my late chief of protocol who was an ambassador in Libya. He returned with his three wives and about 16 children. Everything about him including the handbag of his wives was counted as a suitcase. I explained this myself but nobody believed me."

It is believed that these false allegations were cooked up by persons who secretly sought to discredit Buhari in order to overthrow him. Let him that have eyes read between the lines. Let those who falsely accuse an honest man have a rethink for it is the height of injustice.

The N2.8 Billion ‘Missing’ Oil Money Poppycock

In 1980, during the administration of President Shagari, a case arose of some N2.8 billion allegedly missing from the NNPC in the previous administration of General Obasanjo when General Buhari was the Minister for Petroleum. A Judicial Commission of Inquiry headed by a Supreme Court Judge, Honourable Mr. Justice Ayo Irekefe, was set up to examine the allegations. The MD/CEO of NNPC, Chief Festus Marinho, an oil technocrat was temporarily moved out of the NNPC to allow for investigations. From its findings, the Commission, satisfied that no such money ever got missing, dismissed the scandal. It is interesting to note that even before the allegations were dismissed by the Commission, Buhari’s name was not mentioned among those suspected. This was reiterated by General Obasanjo in 1990 in his book "Not My Will" in which Obasanjo praised Buhari’s "honesty", "moral probity and rectitude".

Are you done deceiving yourself and just yourself alone?
What about the senate inquiry into the missing $2.8billion headed by pa Saraki that traced the missing $2.8billion into buhari's Midland bank account in london months before he overthrew this same civillian government Pa saraki was a part of and jailed many of them?
Honestly you think we are fooled by any of the gob you posted above?

How do you explain the cancelled lagos metro project?

So to explain away his legion of shortcomings and undoings we should take the words of non other than Tunde Bakare right?

Mtcheeeeeew!!!!!

Bunch of propanganda spinning APC lying Bastardos!!!

efilefun:
Assuming the breadwinner of ur family had been killed by boko haram I am pretty sure you won't type such trash. Even if the letter is fake do.you know how many soldiers that have been killed due to lack of ammunitions to face this boko haram guyz, you better think.beyond politics and the APc vs PDP. Do you know how many families that lose either their Father, mother, uncle, aunties, brothers, sisters or even friends everyday cuz of the negligence from the federal government? Just check on YouTube and see the ammunitions this BH guyz got compared to what a whole nation boasts of having. Then you will believe the budget meant to strengthen the Army is actually used to strengthen the BH boys.


God Bless Nigeria and may the souls lost rest in peace.

Do you know how ignorant you sound?

We don't have ammunition yet boko haram raids our armouries for ammunition that we don't have to fight us with

So kindly think before you type

Eluwilussit:
Anybody who thinks for a minute that this nonsense was actually written by some nigerian officers, is truly dumb. Per adventure it was, then the writer is as biased as they come. An officer obeys commands, no matter how bad the situation is. Nigerian soldiers have been over pampered. Can any of these lazy soldiers survive a week in Syria, Iraq or Afghanistan? A soldier fights with anything available. A soldier obeys every command and any command. A soldier doesn't complain.

Before you guys start talking trash, I come from a military family. Two of my cousins fought in Liberia. My nephew was in Sierra Leone. He was in Sudan as well. Now, he and four of my cousins are in the north. The day you sign those papers, is the day you sign away some of your rights. Even the most fundamental of all human rights-the right to life.

You can blame Jonathan all you want, the truth remains that the corrupt officers are either our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, sons, daughters, cousins or friends. There is so much Jonathan can do in 5 years. So far, he had done better than all the thieves before him.

After all, what did Obasanjo do when Yerima started all this madness? Didn't the North jubilate on the streets when Boko Haram started? Was Boko Haram not seen by the northerners as their youth wing? Something akeen to all the different militant groups in other parts of the country. Now everybody wants to blame Jona for what was beyond his control.

The day the North decides that enough is enough, Boko Haram will become history within months. Until that day, Nigeria will continue to fight in vain.

Thank GOD for another voice of reason

Make Nigeria soldiers go tell General Kruchsyev of USSR in world war II say them no fit fight because the enemy get more sophisticated weapons than them make them see wetin go happen

We have pampered our military far too much they seem to believe their lives have any purpose beyond strategic purposes. They shouldn't have signed the contract.

YoursGEJ:
Later he will come and tell us say those that are accusing him of sponsoring boko haram are mad.

What does his body language towards the insurgency tell us? When was the last time he condemned a boko haram attack? He was commiserating with France on the terrorist attack that killed 17 people and didn't say anything when 2,000 Nigerians were slaughtered in Baga. Why are helicopters dropping off supplies to the insurgents? No aircraft should be in Nigerian airspace without the knowledge and approval of FAAN and thus the FG. And Reno Omonkey falsely tried to link SLS to the insurgents. In Owoye Azazi's own words, a few days before his "accident"; Buhari is boko haram and boko haram is Buhari.

Yet some people who escaped from the psychiatric ward of Yaba hospital like me will come and blame Jonathan.

As for all of you in support of GEJ, I will keep praying that your lives will be run exactly how GEJ is running this country. Amen. You are welcome for the prayer don't menshun

And in return, I will continue my naked fasting and prayers that the DEVIL will continue sabotaging and destroying all the good things and good plans GOD has earmarked for your life plus endless amount of frustration everywhere just like Buhari and the northern oligarchs are doing to Jonathans administration.....AMEN!!!!! you can thank me later.

[b]STATE OF OPERATIONS IN THE NORTH-EAST AS OBSERVED BY SOME CONCERNED OFFICERS

1.    We the concerned officers participating in the North East Operation Zaman Lafiya do resolve to write this letter for the following reasons:

a.     To save our country Nigeria.

b.     To stop the bloodshed of innocent officers, soldiers and civilians in the North East.

c.     To appeal to the president of the United State of America Mr. Barrack Obama, United Nation Secretary General Mr. Banki Moon and other world leaders to as quickly as important to intervene and urge President Goodluck Jonathan to do the needful in addressing the issue of insurgency in Nigeria especially in the North East.

2. As members of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, it is our responsibility to defend our country Nigeria which we are ever ready to do so as the call arises. But firstly, the civil authority has the first responsibility to equip us effectively to enable us to carry out such task. This is common practice all over the world. As professional officers and soldiers, we did not want to go public with details of our frustrations concerning this operation because doing so will boast the moral[e] of our enemy. But the persistent neglect of our plight made us to do otherwise.

3. It is well known fact that of recent, a commanding officer from this theater of operation wrote a letter to our President intimating him of a few out of numerous problems affecting us in this operation which we believe Mr. President will address. It appears Mr. President has chosen to ignore it because none of his relations are among us. In this 21st century, how can an accused [be] a judge of his own case? That letter clearly exposed the rot within the military authorities concerning this operation. This is because, the Army authority that was accused of poor administration in that letter, set up a kangaroo investigation that harass[ed], intimidate[d], and forced the officer to deny the authorship of the letter.

4. We authoritatively learned that, the Army authority succeeded in forcing the officer to deny the letter through the Provost Marshal (Army) who happen[ed] to be of the same tribe with the officer concern[ed]. For President Goodluck Jonathan to ignore such kind of allegation made us to believe the rumor going round that he has a hand or knowledge in the so-called Boko Haram. We are also aware of how the funds meant for these operations are being looted through the office of the Chief of Training and Operations, Major General J.A.H. Ewansiha. Despite our strong [belief] in democracy, we condemn a democratic government that condones corruption, especially in its military. The President is reported to always turn a blind eye to issues of corruption. For instance, the ADC to Mr.President is presently one of the richest officers in the army. He owns properties in choice places all over the country and even abroad. We are going to make public details of his wealth and assets at the appropriate time.

5. We are appealing to all well meaning Nigerians and leaders of International Community to please speak out with loud voice in [order] to make President Jonathan to constitute an independent high-powered committee to investigate the content of that letter written to him by the commanding officer. Should this request be ignored, the resultant consequence could only be imagined.

6. We stand bold to state that we are speaking the minds of all the officers and soldiers in Operation Zaman Lafiya.

Concerned Officers and Soldiers of Operation Zaman Lafiya[/b]

Next time you bunch of pathological lying ar$eholes engineer a move on this chessboard, make sure you're not following a script whose endgame we can deduce before you even start it.

My take......

When APC want to spew lies, there's always an aggrieved unknown soldier or faceless eye witness to quote like seriously? How difficult is that to arrange?

Aaaaw C'mon!!!! Did you really think we can't read in between the lines?

Also, I'm really tired of this "we're inadequately equipped rubbish" as an infantry soldier, the only things the military is mandated to provide you are your combat fatigues for battlefield identification and your assault rifle, everything else na jara quote me anytime, anyday!! These you're provided with but under GEJ's administration, 5th columnists officers go around spreading propaganda in the ranks and file of their units that the government owes them iron man suits and green lantern corps membership rings and that that's the norm in mars and that accounts for their inability to do their jobs .......with due respect to our gallant officers whom I applaud, saboteurs like this and the sahara reporters make me loose my respect for the Nigerian military, this is a volunteer and not a conscript army and once you sign up, apart from your training, salaries, allowances, retirement/disability benefits, gratuities, pensions and your primary weapons, the government doesn't owe you squat!!

Now riddle me this You are not being provided with adequate equipment yet your enemy attacks and raids your armoury from time to time for these equipment you purportedly are not being equipped with and successfully fights you with it? Are the Cameroonian or Chadian armies better equipped than you are now? Did you join the army expecting to be cuddled? Are you a fair weather soldier? If you don't like the conditions of your service, resign or better yet, be a soldier and take one for the team, stop being a faceless propaganda vomiting recently activated enemy sleeper cell drone or agent! Step forward and claim authorship of this gob so we can do the needed from both sides....the ones who deem you a hero will empathise, the ones who like me deem you a coward and 5th columnist will grill you until you fess up your divided loyalties and how much you've been paid!!

It must be your idea of a master stroke.....writing behind the smokescreen of a so-called "concerned officers" which for all i care might be a pseudonym for Shekau club or pro-boko dudes

Saharareporters = pitiable and classless excuse for journalism.

Keep doubting boy, even our Lord Jesus was doubted.
Buhari isn't a saint, Yes! But some mess need to be cleaned up. He is the only viable man for the job now. Not a gutless "I will do"(for six years) man.

NO OH! buhari is a saint ooh!
Saint buhari of the almajiri order
Among miracles confirmed to have been attributed to him that led to his cannonization are

1. $2.8billion vanished under his watch when he was in charge of NNPC which was traced to his Midland London bank account upon investigation by pa saraki of the 2nd republic senate in 1983.

2. He cancelled the lagos intra-city metro project initiated and paid for by the lateef jakande Lagos state administration forfeiting the over $60million cost of the contract without any job being done without reason or explanation.

3. He started the deregulation of the Naira which was N0.550 = $1 when he took over to N0.882 = $1 when he left plus he made Nigerians persona non grata in foreign countries after the botched kidnap attempt on umaru dikko, prior to him, we received visa's @ point of entry in foreign countries not from Naija here.

The list of miracles goes on and on but let me just stop at 3 since that is the number required for cannonization.

I don't doubt he'll clean this mess (stable polity) up (by socialising and destroying our economy with his miraculous brand of daft-onomics ala N5,000 for 25,000,000 nigerians monthly)

In between watch your words, between you and i, you'll most definitely be the boy

Mtcheeeew!

LUBISH!!!

with fluctuating exchange rates and tariffs by the government of Good luck , its affects the cost and planning and they may adjust the plan due to exchange fluctuation that will be used to buy input to complete the projects. so the value of 242 dollars 6 years ago is different from its value today.Unless the incentives include waivers on imported items for the project.

True True and True except the bolded, if this can be true for projects piloted by APC's fashola and Lagos state, why should it be less so for PDP's Jonathan and Nigeria, why the double standards in promises and expectations?
@ the bolded, when have exchange rates never not fluctuated? Is the exchange rate now being determined by the presidency or by market forces?
Tarriffs on what materials and why, the lagos light metrol project is not the crux or sum total of our economic and infrastructural policies you know.

olas24u:
But you write as if lagos is being dashed the money .I dont know the details of the funding of the project ,but federal government did not dash lagos the money and the road is also a federal road so you will need to partner to do projects on it.Lagos can easily pay back the money with ease .because its a viable state.The project is ongoing and not a failed project

And I never said or implied the FG "dashed" lagos the money but I reminded you that this "non-supportive FG" according to fashola, is the sole guarantor of these foreign loans without whom those loans won't exist in the first place meaning, when the creditors come to collect, they'll be knocking on ASO rock's gate not govt house Alausa. And they are prepared to facilitate more credit for the lagos state govt. Going back to fashola's accusation, how is the FG not helping?
Remember there was once another FG vs SG scenario in 1984 btw Buhari and Jakande now extrapolate it to this situation and context and kindly redefine what it means to have an unhelpful FG.
Thanks

This is a red line and blue line project and it can not be completed without constructing both lines.

Contracts have been awarded for all the phases except the red line the FG is denying access to..

This first phase is supposed to end @ okokomaiko and that was supposed to have been done by june 2013............fast forward to the present, those rail tracks between Mile2 and okokomaiko don't exist yet, excuses for their not existing exist now, and your addition to this litany of excuses just doesn't fly
I never claimed to being the expert or resident engineer here, if anything, you did, I'm just pointing out the fact that typical of a Nigerian politician, Fashola made promises, promises he hasn't been able to keep after eight years, yet APC supporters excuse him for this, afterall it can't be his fault can it, yet a little over five years after taking office, no APC supporter wants to cut Jonathan any slack so tell me, is this double standards or plain old hypocrisy?
Now fashola fails and you want to get all technical and analytic which makes you sound infact like a Jonathan supporter while me on the other hand, I'm doing my best APC supporter "black or white no gray (done or not done no in progress)" standup role, how does it look like on the other side? what does it feel like being on the defensive? I can tell you, the air smells sweeter and the weather cooler on this side

When banks borrow you the money ,or individuals and some times third parties who get money at cheap rates and then lend it to states government,they are all still domestic debts.Foreign money comes in single digits as low as 4% while you cannot get 4% locally .That was what i meant .And they borrow in the name of Nigeria not state

We know he sourced $242 through the FG, how much did he source locally and how much has the project cost so far?

Of what relevance is any loan if at the end of the day the same useless and unpatriotic Jonathan wont give you right off way or space to build and complete the project..?

Shallow reasoning i must say...

Oh! My my
Now it isn't lack of FG support, now it is actually the FG denying the SG space and right of way
You're not actually talking about the ido line to ogun state are you? I thought this was the LAGOS STATE light metro project, not the Inter state light metro project? , so tell me, does the FG's refusal in anyway hinder the laying down of rail tracks from say mile2 to okokomaiko? Or do you need a map of lagos state? But don't mind me, afterall, what do I know? It must be my shallow reasoning.........not everybody can "deep reason" lies and half-truths like you and the APC you know

olas24u:
When the federal government withheld the funds for lagos because it was an opposition party state ,it helped lagos to look for alternatives and they generated internally funds over billions from millions before.Lagos and Rivers are the only viable states in Nigeria That can generate and pay salaries without federal government .Osun state is also coming up fast and in the future will generate more within.The federal government frustrated lagos power projects and starve lagos of electricity.

The loans that took the project this far were approved by this same Federal government einstein!!!! Look for another excuse or better yet look inward when looking for scapegoats to blame. Fashola and the APC's failures are theirs and theirs alone.
Spare us your typical APC ranting and bulk passing.

I know your brain is filled with noodles but i never believe a youth as dumb ,confused and clueless as that docile in aso rock still exist. But i have less to say about a country whose populace drink and birth with salt water. Spew gibberish again and i wont hesitate to define your pitiable dejected life like jona's refurbished train for you.

Better have a brain filled with noodles as some measure of I.Q along with it than to be a vegetable (brain dead) with only perfunctionary duties like breathing and cardiac regulation to regulate. So having a functioning railway system is mediocre now abi Who are our compere's, I'll like to see you mention europe, the U.S, china and what not fool!! How about India, south africa, egypt and co? What type of train coaches do they have and use?
Imagine a dead brain like you looking for a bullet train in Nigeria that has had a comatose rail system for decades
EEDIOT!!
Better a 16AD railway system that works than a pre-creation/big-bang railway system that only exists on papers.
AR$$EHOLE!!

Just look at the vitriol oozing out his gub, yet these are the same people calling for "a younger Fashola instead of grandpa Buhari". One can only imagine the things they would have said about the governor had he emerged the flag bearer of APC.

Degenerate hypocrites.

Yes we did and still are, both have been weighed, measured and found wanting which is typical of all Nigerian politicians (non-excluded) only, we find them wanting to varying degrees take for example, Fashola started the light rail project, did not finish and is now giving excuses, Buhari cancelled similar project without any explanation leaving us to deduce probable reasons why and my favourite being tribalism which is very plausible so preferring Fashola to Buhari has not a single trace of hypocrisy in it, it is just common sense which going by your post must not be very common.

awodman:
Fashola of late has been making idiotic statements & embarrassing himself...His very poor at this propaganda business

Fashola says FG is stifling the Lagos Light Rail..Same FG that has graciously approved loans meant for this project?

Yeh! thank GOD for people who take pains to dig facts out like you or we would have bought Fashola the APC-thief's lies hook, line and sinker.

ALAYORMII:
He's making sense.


If GEJ promised us so many things and he's yet to do them and he's asking for another four years to do what he didn't do in six years then I see no reason why you should castigate someone who at least started something but couldn't finish and he gave reasonable reasons why he can't finish it.

Alayormii

Oh! if he succeeds, he and the APC gets the credits, if he fails, the FG is to blame,,,,,, right


I wonder why buhari should be voted in on account of this? Or is buhari now pro-lagos light rail project? I thought he for no logical reason whatsoever cancelled it the first time and imprisoned governor jakande for being pro-lagos and pro-development? Oh! Sorry, that must be another buhari I mix them up a lot
No wonder a certain presidential candidate is avoiding a certain presidential debate because many uncomfortable questions will definitely be asked

fitzmayowa:
I guess wind of change never blow reach that area...

BTW...You can't do every of this project at once, it takes time, posting one out of the whole lot isn't fair...IMO

Neither is hyping Jonathan's shortcomings out of proportion relative to his achievements.

HNosegbe:
My thoughts:

1. There's no evidence that the school is CURRENTLY IN USE and not abandoned or being used for other purposes. It would have been more convincing if we saw students actually in the classes. Maybe the OP can assist with that?

2. No evidence that the school is even in Edo State. Could be in Lagos, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Imo, anywhere. There's no signboard in the picture to tell us the exact location.

3. Even if the school were in Edo State, we would also need to see more of such schools in several other parts of the state to properly establish that the current government has neglected the schools in the state (which, apparently, is the point the OP is trying to make).

NB: Can anyone confirm the picture supposedly of the Edo polytechnic?

Edo college of education Ekhiadolor is far worse.
Don't ask me, google it.
