Maitatsine did not have rifles, anti-aircraft guns, HMGs, SUVs and plenty of assistance from saboteurs in the armed forces. Let's not forget the plenty dollars $$$ that Al Qaeda donated to boko haram 2002 under Obasanjo's nose.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Tuesday said his administration probed the accounts of the Petroleum Trust Fund headed by the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) and found nothing unpleasant.

Buhari headed the PTF, inaugurated in March 1995, under the regime of the late dictator, Gen. Sani Abacha. The PTF was established to manage the fund accruable from the increase in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit, otherwise know as petrol, from N3.25 to N11.

The PTF was scrapped by Obasanjo on assumption of the Presidency in 1999. The ex-President also set up a committee to investigate the accounts of the PTF following allegations of N25bn fraud in the agency.

Obasanjo’s fresh revelation was made in Ogun State when Buhari and other national leaders of the APC visited the ex-President at his Hilltop residence in Abeokuta.

On the Buhari’s entourage were the APC national chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun; the party’s former interim national chairman, Chief Bisi Akande; a former governor of Lagos State and a national leader of the APC, Bola Tinubu, and the governor of Ogun State, Ibikunle Amosun, among others.

Obasanjo said when he looked into the report submitted to him on the alleged fraud in the PTF he did not see anything incriminating concerning Buhari.

He said, “When you were going to become the manager of PTF. We talked about it and when you finished and I took over, we looked into it.

“I haven’t said this publicly, I would say it publicly now. When we looked into it, there was really nothing amiss except that that organisation went from road building to mosquito net-buying and all sorts of things.

“And what the investigation discovered is a bit of inconsistency in prices and all that. In one area, mosquito net might have been given for N50; in another, N45. And I then remarked that this is fishy. We should look into it.

“And I called my brother and colleague (Buhari), I said see this and he said ‘look we are managing billions of Naira and I tried to make sure I see everything.But I will not say that what they have said about this is correct or not correct. But I can assure you, I tried to see everything.’

“I said okay Muhammadu, between me, you and God, was there any personal benefit for you? And you said ‘no.’ I said that is the end of the matter.

“Although there was that investigation, its report was not of any material importance.”

Obasanjo asked Buhari and other presidential candidates to address the nagging issues of insecurity, economy and deficit in infrastructure.

He implored the presidential candidates to focus on issues rather than trivialities.

He said, “I hope people will face issues rather than trivialities. On occasions like this, issues are very important. And you have mentioned three areas which are demanding issues in Nigeria today.

“I will just beg all of you who are contesting to add one to it; you mentioned economy, you mentioned corruption, and you mentioned security.

“I will beg of you to add infrastructure. It’s very important. You may take it as part of economy but I will take infrastructure as special and give it special attention.”

While he described a political party as a microcosm of a nation, which would consist of near saints, devils, rapists, and armed robbers, Obasanjo warned that when the party wanted to go into government, it must look for men and women of integrity.

Speaking earlier, Buhari said he would tackle corruption while the resources would be used to address infrastructural deficit.

He said if elected, his administration would also give priority to security and fix the economy, stressing that Obasanjo had more experience than him and others in governance.

He said, “It’s a fact that you know more than all we know about the problem that we are in. But what we’ll do is try to convince you to believe us that we are going to do better.

“We have been going around three fundamental issues: security, economy, corruption. This vicious circle is what the APC is determined to break.

“Because without security, there is no way the country can settle down not to talk of living in it. So many people, educated and uneducated, some said up to 60 per cent, will say Nigeria is sitting on a keg of gun powder.

“We believe that if we are able to stop corruption, a lot of resources will be available to invest in infrastructure, get the factories to reopen, get jobs and get goods and services. So security, economy, in terms of employment, production, manufacturing, goods and services, and then agriculture will again be given impetus to employment.”

NewNigeriaMind:
President Jonathan says if re-elected, he will tackle corruption in Nigeria using modern technology. The President said this while speaking at his campaign rally in Ibadan today. He said that even if he jails 5 million people for corruption, the problem will still persist but that with modern technology, corruption would be prevented. He said his govt is currently working on introducing the technology

this mumu president that cannot do anything about corruption in 6 years has a magic wand he will use called technology in the next 4 years.

The mumu then wnet on to say:

So for you to solve corruption problems, you must use modern technologies to prevent people from stealing and that is what we are working on.

Really after 6 years you are still working on it .....see mumu o!!!

The oil industry is a good area; we are working very hard. I just don’t want to say certain things, because some of these people have been given so much money, they would do everything to stop us. But I promise you that if you vote me and I come back to serve this country for the next four years, the day I would leave here, the next person that would come as the president of this country, people would not talk about corruption, because we are working on technologies and we would use technologies to block all these areas. Today we are talking about IT; we are no longer in the analog generation, so we must deploy IT to solve our human problems and I am promising that in the next four years, the next president, nobody would harass that president for not fighting corruption because I will solve the problem of corruption in this country"



This is cluelessness at the epic.

How can you do what you couldn't do before now.

This guys is a drunkard

Did maitaisines use sophisticated weapons (machine guns, IEDs) like the Buhari boys?
Abeg, go sit down. Next time, come up with a stronger argument.

GEJ has done a lot in the North
1). Education: The establishment of 9 federal universities most of them in the North and the 200 Almajiri schools established all over the North is a brilliant strategy to reduce the over 10million out of school kids in Nigeria who are mostly from the North.
BH thrives there because of the Almajiris system that ensures the availability of several street kids that are easy prey of the nafarious characters that sponsor violence in the region.

This administration is the only one that has deemed it fir to address the root cause of the problem by giving this street kids an oppurtunity of an education that can change their future rather than encourage the barbaric practices.

2). Airport: Under jonathan many airports in the north has been renovated and repositioned to better serve the people, Jos airport, kano, kaduna, yola etc have all been refurbished these facilities were abandoned by previous administration.
GEJ has also made it easy for state government in the north to build and operate their own airport hence States like Jigawa, Kebbi, bauchi have built and commissioned spanking new airport for their citizens.

3) Railways : Lagos - kano trains are now functional, a railway that was abandoned for 3 decades has been reactivated by GEJ. the port harcourt - maiduguri railway is undreway and trains are running fro PH to Enugu as we speak and will run from PH to Maidugri before the end of the year.

Abuja Light rail is at an advanced staage of construction.

Abuja - Kaduna standard rail line has been completed and is awaiting the arrival of coaches that will begin the passenger service the First quarter of 2015.

the warri to ajaokuta standard rail is also complete and awaiting the arrival of coaches for passenger service to commence.

The railways will ensure that the agricultural produce in the north will easily get to the areas of demand in the south and will also arrive the seaport for onward export to foreign countries thereby improving the lives of the farmers in the North.

4) Agriculture : This administration has taken the bull by the horn by removing the corruption in fertilizer procurement and seedlings procurement in Agricultural sector in this country, thereby ensuring that farmers get their inputs on time, fertilizer and seedlings are getting to farmers that need it and not to corrupt politicians as before, and today Nigeria is almost self sufficient in rice production, No 1 in the world in cassava production. paddy rice pyramids are back in the north. Tomatoes processing plants are being set up in the north to check loss in harvest and cargo facilities are being built in airports in the north to export our perishable veggies.

This is just to mention but a few of what this government has done for the North, GEJ has substance to campaign in the north and the masses and people in the north are feeling the FG impacts there Despite the current politically motivated violence that has permeated the region, the only people who are mad at GEJ are the 'born to rule' peeps who see nothing good in any leader that is not a northerner. They will be taught a valuable lesson in 2015.
