Just last week NNPC were still asking for their money.

Buhari wanted the Nigerian public to believe what he had said, then it might as well be good for him to concede that the allegation of a missing $2.8 billion oil money against the NNPC under his watch as minister of petroleum was true.

Babangida's reasons for overthrowing extremist Buhari.

Fellow Nigerians,
When in December 1983, the former military leadership, headed by Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, assumed the reins of government, its accession was heralded in the history of this country. With the nation at the mercy of political misdirection and on the brink of economic collapse, a new sense of hope was created in the minds of every Nigerian.




Since January 1984, however, we have witnessed a systematic denigration of that hope. It was stated then that mismanagement of political leadership and a general deterioration in the standard of living, which had subjected the common man to intolerable suffering, were the reasons for the intervention.


Nigerians have since then been under a regime that continued with those trends. Events today indicate that most of the reasons which justified the military takeover of government from the civilians still persist.


The initial objectives were betrayed and fundamental changes do not appear on the horizon. Because the present state of uncertainty, suppression and stagnation resulted from the perpetration of a small group, the Nigerian Armed Forces could not as a part of that government be unfairly committed to take responsibility for failure. Our dedication to the cause of ensuring that our nation remains a united entity worthy of respect and capable of functioning as a viable and credible part of the international community dictated the need to arrest the situation.


[size=15pt]Let me at this point attempt to make you understand the premise upon which it became necessary to change the leadership. The principles of discussions, consultation and co-operation which should have guided decision-making process of the Supreme Military Council and the Federal Executive Council were disregarded soon after the government settled down in 1984. Where some of us thought it appropriate to give a little more time, anticipating a conducive atmosphere that would develop, in which affairs of state could be attended to with greater sense of responsibility, it became increasingly clear that such expectations could not be fulfilled.[/size]


Regrettably, it turned out that Major-General Muhammadu Buhari was too rigid and uncompromising in his attitudes to issues of national significance. Efforts to make him understand that a diverse polity like Nigeria required recognition and appreciation of differences in both cultural and individual perceptions, only served to aggravate these attitudes.


Major-General Tunde Idiagbon was similarly inclined in that respect. As Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters, he failed to exhibit the appropriate disposition demanded by his position. He arrogated to himself absolute knowledge of problems and solutions, and acted in accordance with what was convenient to him, using the machinery of government as his tool.


A combination of these characteristics in the two most important persons holding the nation's vital offices became impossible to content with. The situation was made worse by a number of other government functionaries and organisations, chief among which is the Nigerian Security Organisation (NSO). In fact, this body will be overhauled and re-organized.


And so it came to be that the same government which received the tumultuous welcome now became alienated from the people. To prevent a complete erosion of our given mandate therefore, we had to act so that hope may be rebuilt.


Let me now address your attention to the major issues that confront us, so that we may, as one people, chart a future direction for our dear country. We do not pretend to have all the answers to the questions which our present problems have put before our nation. We have come with the strongest determination to create an atmosphere in which positive efforts shall be given the necessary support for lasting solutions.


For matters of the moment which require immediate resolutions, we intend to pursue a determined programme of action. Major issues falling into this category have been identified and decisions taken on what should be done.


Firstly, the issue of political detainees or convicts of special military tribunals. The history of our nation had never recorded the degree of indiscipline and corruption as in the period between October 1979 and December 1983.


While this government recognises the bitterness created by the irresponsible excesses of the politicians, we consider it unfortunate that methods of such nature as to cause more bitterness were applied to deal with past misdeeds. We must never allow ourselves to lose our sense of natural justice. The innocent cannot suffer the crimes of the guilty. The guilty should be punished only as a lesson for the future. In line with this government's intention to uphold fundamental human rights, the issue of detainees will be looked into with despatch.


As we do not intend to lead a country where individuals are under the fear of expressing themselves, the Public Officers Protection Against False Accusation Decree 4 of 1984 is hereby repealed. And finally, those who have been in detention under this decree are hereby unconditionally released. The responsibility of the media to disseminate information shall be exercised without undue hindrance. In that process, those responsible are expected to be forthright and to have the nation's interest as their primary consideration.


The issue of decrees has generated a lot of controversies. It is the intention of this government to review all other decrees.


The last twenty months have not witnessed any significant changes in the national economy. Contrary to expectations, we have so far been subjected to a steady deterioration in the general standard of living; and intolerable suffering by the ordinary Nigerians have risen higher, scarcity of commodities has increased, hospitals still remain mere consulting clinics, while educational institutions are on the brink of decay. Unemployment has stretched to critical dimensions.


Due to the stalemate, which arose in negotiation with the International Monetary Fund, the former government embarked on a series of counter-trade agreements. Under the counter-trade agreements, Nigerians were forced to buy goods and commodities at higher prices than obtained in the international market. The government intends to review the whole issue of counter-trade.


A lot has been said and heard about our position with the International Monetary Fund. Although we formally applied to the fund in April 1983, no progress has as yet been made in the negotiation and a stalemate has existed for the last two years.


We shall break the deadlock that frustrated the negotiations with a view to evaluating more objectively both the negative and positive implications of reaching a mutual agreement with the Fund. At all times in the course of discussions, our representatives will be guided by the feelings and aspirations of the Nigerian people.


It is the view of this government that austerity without structural adjustment is not the solution to our economic predicament. The present situation whereby 44 per cent of our revenue earning is utilised to service debts is not realistic. To protect the danger this poses to the poor and the needy in our society, steps will be taken to ensure comprehensive strategy of economic reforms.


The crux of our economic problems has been identified to centre around four fundamental issues:


1. A decrease of our domestic production, while our population continues to increase.


2. Dependence on import for both consumer goods and raw materials for our industries.


3. A grossly unequal gap between the rich and the poor.


4. The large role played by the public sector in economic activity with hardly any concrete results to justify such a role.


These are the problems we must confront.


ON FOREIGN POLICY:


Nigeria's foreign policy in the last 20 months has been characterised by inconsistency and incoherence. It has lacked the clarity to make us know where we stood on matters of international concern to enable other countries relate to us with seriousness. Our role as Africa's spokesman has diminished because we have been unable to maintain the respect of African countries.


The ousted military government conducted our external relations by a policy of retaliatory reactions. Nigeria became a country that has reacted to given situations, rather than taking the initiative as it should and always been done. More so, vengeful considerations must not be the basis of our diplomacy. African problems and their solutions should constitute the premise of our foreign policy.


The realisation of the Organisation of African Unity of the Lagos Plan of Action for self-sufficiency and constructive co-operation in Africa shall be our primary pursuit.


The Economic Community of West African States must be reborn with the view to achieving the objective of regional integration. The problems of drought-stricken areas of Africa will be given more attention and sympathy, and our best efforts will be made to assist in their rehabilitation within the limits of our resources. Our membership of the United Nations Organisation will be made more practical and meaningful. The call for a new International Economic Order which lost its momentum in the face of the debt crisis will be made once again.


Nigeria hereby makes a renewed request to the Non-Aligned Movement to regroup and reinvigorate its determination to restructure the global economic system, while we appeal to the industrialized nations to positively consider the debt plight of the developing countries and assist in dealing with the dangers that face us. We shall remain members of the various multilateral institutions and inter-governmental organisations which we belong to and do what must be done to enhance the membership and participation within them.


Fellow Nigerians, this country has had since independence a history mixed with turbulence and fortune. We have witnessed our rise to greatness, followed with a decline to the state of a bewildered nation. Our human potentials have been neglected, our natural resources put to waste. A phenomenon of constant insecurity and overbearing uncertainty has become characteristic of our national existence.


My colleagues and I are determined to change the course of history. This government is determined to unite this country. We shall not allow anything to obstruct us. We recognise that a government, be it civilian or military, needs the consent of the people to govern if it is to reach its objective. We do not intend to rule by force. At the same time, we should not be expected to submit to unreasonable demands. Fundamental rights and civil liberties will be respected, but their exercise must not degenerate into irrational expression nor border on subversion.


The War Against Indiscipline will continue, but this time, in the minds and conduct of Nigerians, and not by way of symbolism or money-spending campaigns.


This government, on its part, will ensure that the leadership exhibits proper example. Criticisms of actions and decisions taken by us will be given necessary attention and where necessary changes made in accordance with what is expected of us.


Let me reiterate what we said in 1984: This generation of Nigerians and indeed future generations have no other country but Nigeria. We must all stay and salvage it together. This time it shall be pursued with deeper commitment and genuine sincerity.


There is a lot of work to be done by every single Nigerian. Let us all dedicate ourselves to the cause of building a strong, united and viable nation for the sake of our own lives and the benefits of posterity.

Finally, I wish to commend the members of the Armed Forces and the Nigeria Police for their mature conduct during the change.


I thank you all for your co-operation and understanding.
God bless Nigeria.

Monkey man die monkey man bury am.

Appswheel:
Buhari did not kill anybody. If he did it is GEJ duty to bring him to justice. As much as that is not done Buhari is free of all allegations.

He didn't kill anybody but his supporters did. Buhari waited days before coming out to calm his supporters, now instead of blaming the instigator of the riots, you're here blaming GEJ.
The blood of those 800 people that were killed would continue to hunt Buhari, that's why he never wins elections.

barcanista:
Ugbesia has been in the Senate since 2007. He has been a Minister between 2004-2007. He should be grateful to God and hire the best SANs to defend him against every corruption charge that will be levelled against him by the incoming administration of President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR. I tell you that the EFCC and ICPC will be more mean and patriotic.

Hahaha!! I like your optimism.

And what would Buhari spend the $2.8bil he stole from NNPC on?

[s]

Appswheel:
Mr. President you had my support during the 2011 general elections. 4 years after, you have taught me a hard lesson - Nothing great happens by luck.

Below are reasons why I will not support Mr. Ebele Goodluck Jonathan re-election ambition.

1.COMPENSATING HUMAN LIFE WITH MONEY
Remember the slain Corp Members; aftermath of 2011 general elections? President Jonathan’s administration response was to pay a compensation of 5 million naira to the families of the slain Corps Member. The most recent of the compensation is those of the Chibok girls.

The “compensation” development tells me that the president has only one solution to terrorist acts. MONEY! Can money buy life?
The compensation for the Chibok girls parents/family, what exactly was it meant for? A replacement for the girls? We need a President who will employ intellectual weapon to minimize, curb and fight terrorism.

2.INSENSITIVITY TO NATIONAL ISSUES
A day after the Nyanya bomb blast, my President took to the streets of Kano for a political rally. I consider this act inhuman and unexpected of a responsible leader.

3.CHOICE OF WORDS
“We are on top of the situation”, each time a suicide bomber succeeds in cutting short the lives of innocent Nigerians, Mr President reassures Nigerians that he is on top of the situation.

“We shall do our best to contain the situation……..” is more appropriate for a President who is struggling to contain the excesses of the terrorists.

“Stealing is not corruption……” My president made this statement on National TV. The dictionary may not define corruption as stealing. Insight defines it as a derivative of Corruption. I expect Mr. President to know better.

4.TRYING TO WIN NIGERIANS OVER WITH SYMPATHY
It is said that some cabal threatened to make the country ungovernable for his administration. I do not expect any individual, Nigerian to be bigger than the law and the President.

Mr President, the sympathy formula is not working anymore. As president you are expected to use your position, authority to expose, contain and subdue the so called cabal.

5.CORRUPTION
I do not know what Corruption is by Mr. Presidents definition. Corruption as grown to maturity under Mr. Presidents watch.
All corrupt cases unveiled under the current administration has been swept under the carpet.

6.DISREGARD FOR RULE OF LAW
President Musa Yar’adua worked so hard to promote the rule of law during his short reign; President Jonathan is working harder to destroy it - he is succeeding.

7.INABILITY TO BRING BACK OUR GIRLS
Today makes it 252 days since innocent girls were abducted from their examination center in chibok. The present administration have not been able to bring back our girls either dead or alive.

What happens in the case of a reoccurrence?? President Jonathan has failed to bring back the girls; if there is a reoccurrence what will happen?

8.KEEPS MUTE WHEN HE SHOULD SPEAK UP
We have read in the papers, how tompolo and Asari dokubo will make Nigeria ungovernable should Jonathan fail is re-election bid. Mr President has not made any public statement to disassociate himself and government from these claims.

9.EASILY DISTRACTED
Mr President listens more to his sycophants than the suffering masses. His verbal fighters always on the alert to throw tantrums with the opposition. Rather than silence his critics with commendable, outstanding performances Mr President surrounds himself with okupe & co – men that are best known for “running their mouths”.

10.MISCELLANEOUS
Subsidy removal without putting the necessary palliative measures in place………

Excess Crude Oil Revenue Reserve…………… emptying our common purse on overheads......

A stadium is known as a place for sporting activities, sometimes in Nigeria, it a venue for social events - musical concerts etc

A serving minister under the administration of President Jonathan saw it fit to conduct a job test in a stadium. The president saw nothing wrong with this. As usual, he bought over the survivors of the stampede that resulted during the exercise with money by offering them automatic job placement.

Rather than query the process that brought about the stampede, death of Job applicants. An unintelligent decision of offering automatic jobs was made - if there could be automatic job placement why conduct the test?

My Grandma whosays the President sheepish smiles is not one of boldness, confidence and ability. She said it denotes weakness, unreliability and insecurity. She said this a long time ago; it took me time to understand what she really meant – the words of elders are indeed words of wisdom.

If Mr President has really impressed Nigerians he would not need to raise 21 billion Naira for re-election.

My advice to all Nigerians is, Make sure you participate in the 2015 election. Do not vote along religion, ethnic lines. Think about the unborn generation as you make your choice.

We need a positive change in Nigeria. Vote for positive Change.

COMPENSATING HUMAN LIFE WITH MONEY-Tell Buhari to stop killing people after losing elections.

barcanista:
My brother, it is not always rosy in politics, but the brave will always get back to their feet

The murky waters of politics is not for the faint hearted, just happy Ugbesia got the nod from you know who. Ministerial appointment again for my man, bros I can't wait for the election to be over.

bigtt76:
What degree certificate does your maigadi at home and other rich men's house possess? They protect billions of people's properties u sidon der de tok

You want mai guard to have certificates but won' advocate that for a presidential candidate?

donphilopus:


You've derailed as usual. [size=13pt]None of the 3 Edo Serving Senators is going back again[/size]. BTW, they're thinking of cancelling the Primaries due to the irregularities. Ie, what happened at PDP Guber Primaries in Lagos. But Domingo ain't in support of any primaries again, he has accepted the outcome. Maturity?! Yea.

Cc: Barcanista.

Ugbesia is getting a ministerial position courtesy of his inlaw so no wahala.

barcanista:
Guy Domingo go bounce back

I laugh in Etsako! heeheeheehee!!!

donphilopus:
You haven't answered my question.

Which question, anyway bros what happened to Domingo? Oshio baba played him mugu abi?

donphilopus:
When did Boko Haram start? And when was APC formed/registered as a party?!

Na today?

APC is an Iranian conspiracy to Islamize Nigeria.

So why is he owing salaries if he did not spend half his state's allocation fighting for VP position?

After all the money he wasted he's rewarded with driving mallams around Abuja. He hasn't paid corpers since 2012 even though past Rivers state governors always pay corpers #10,000 extra.
Tinubu played him mugu now Buhari is making mumu of him.
Being campaign manager for Buhari means spending Rivers state budget on a Fulani extremist no-hoper, what a waste.

GEJ 2023

Good question, why did you employ 13 thousand teachers, the kabu kabu driver is dodging the question.

Section 131(d) of the 1999 Constitution allows anyone with school certificate qualification to contest any elective office in the country.

Babangida said Buhari was the only officer in those days to fail at NDA, this must be true since Buhari doesn't use "psc" after his name. Has anyone ever seen any certificate with Buhari's name on it?

Can you make a breakdown of his 11,000 followers? How many are Almajiri and how many are boko haram?

Who will replace GEJ if he were to leave Aso Rock, Mr Ibu or Mr Ibuhari?

Obiagelli:
Dunce, buhari isn't even Shia, you can only fool idiots with your photoshoped pictures.

I couldn't careless if your Imam was sunni or Iranian.

Nigerians don’t want Muhammadu Buhari to be our president. We have said this repeatedly since 1999.

Can APC people please translate this sentence to Hausa for me....."Nigerians don't want you".

Since the Buko hari leader seems deaf, I intend writing it on his Twitter page to drive the point home.

The APC not only sponsor and fuel insurgency, they're the insurgents.

I can categorically state the APC is a muslim party, else they won't make Imam Buhari its presidential candidate.

Haba!! its obvious now, APC can try again in 2019 if the Bukohari leader is alive.

Business man Tinubu didn't pick Osinbajo for nothing, someone have to carry his phone na.
Meanwhile he uses Amaechi as driver and then use Buhari as.....what does he use the Bukohari leader for?

" In particular, Sergeant Rogers had accused the late Minister of Justice, Chief Bola Ige, his successor, Mr. Kanu Agabi and the former Lagos State Attorney General, Mr. Yemi Osinbanjo, of visiting him in prison and inducing him with lavish promises of material rewards if he cooperated with Obasanjo’s government to implicate Major Al-Mustapha and other officers being tried along with him."

I knew Osinbanjo has some qualities that attracted the buko hari leader, so at last we now know why Buhari picked him. Thank God there's no possibility of him framing Nigerians for acts perpetrated by Tinubu and his cronies.

Vote GMB for peace to reign.

What do you expect from a Tinubu supporter in New York?

I remember Wole Soyinka describing Mr Adewale as ..... “inept hustler” and a “sterile literary aspirant”
