Buhari is responsible for human right violation of many Nigerians including Fela. Buhari is anti democratic and was responsible for a coup that remove a democratic government. Buhari was part of the most corrupt government ever in Nigeria history which is the Abacha government. Nigeria deserves better than buhari.

[b]IBB, not Buhari, overthrew Shagari’s govt — Col. Nyiam

You once said soldiers could be recruited for a coup without their knowledge. How is that possible?

Yes, there are many instances. You might want to verify this from Gen. Buhari, he was not the initiator of that coup that brought him in as Head of State, it was Gen. Ibrahim Bako and Babangida that initiated it. But because they wanted a credible figure as a face, he was brought in. He did not know the genesis of that coup. He was not quite aware of the original idea behind the coup and that was why when he decided to make a change, he was forced to step aside. So, if this could happen to a whole Gen. Buhari, who was supposedly the leader of a coup, it shows how many soldiers can be brought in that way.

Does that mean overthrowing Shagari’s government was IBB’s idea?

It was the idea of late Gen. Bako and IBB. Buhari was only brought in because they needed a face with integrity.

Can you give other instances?

Gen. Yakubu Gowon was not part of the coup that brought him in. He was a decent man. Nigerians like to play what the Yoruba people call bojuboju; they bring a figure with integrity to cover up their real intention; the real intention of politicians in uniform who have found cheap party. Many elements of them are in our partisan politics today.

A Buhari/Fashola Ticket is the best hand APC can play and it has the votes to win. PDP fear it the most and Nigerians love it the most. Those that hate it will never vote APC, even if their lives depends on it.
do u think it is possible to combine the two when they are both muslims?

Gen. Buhari was not part of Gen. Abacha's government but appointed into an office just like the ministers.

Also there has never been evidence of corruption in Gen. Buhari led PTF. I wish such a body existed today and run the way Gen. Buhari ran it.

But anyone APC is sure to be defeated

Read this and make your judgements
WHO IS AFRAID OF BUHARI? 
I write this because of millions of
Nigerians who are below 30 and who
constitute a significant chunk of our
voting population.
This is the ICT generation that is largely
ignorant about the events of the
Buhari era (1983-85) and so can be
misinformed and misled by needless
propaganda. I have sat with many in
the
under-30 bracket and those slightly
above who only have faint recollections
of the Buhari era and the level of
ignorance about that era is amazing.
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 2yrs
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
12yrs 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 eneded 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 Does it then surprise you why
corrupt people would be spreading
such heinous rumours about Buhari?
He
is a threat to them and they know
what he is capable of doing to
corruption and
corrupt people when he comes into
office! So shine your eyes and make
the right decision. If honesty and
probity are the things you want for
Nigeria ,now is the time to choose
right. When you cast your vote for the
BUHARI, you would have cast one vote
for a honest men.
Now that you know better, will you
please educate another person BY
FORWARDING THIS TO AS
MANY AS YOU CAN??

...at the time Buhari assumed power,there were gross indiscipline in the Nigerian polity.There were mass killing and embezzlement,of the 1st order, in the 1st republic,only military power could root out these bloody and corrupt politicians,that's what Buhari & Co. did.Abacha was not so bad as the Yoruba,Afenifere & Co. portrayed him (I am a yoruba). While Buhari was in power,there was sanity in governance.All those Fela & Co. are different ball games entirely.

Anyways, Jonathan would have a smooth, jolly ride back to power in 2015 because the APC does not have any viable candidate that can give the president a run for his money. Is it Atiku or Buhari? Both characters are unmarketable and unsellable. They are bad products. Whereas one has a deeply-rooted reputation for corruption and desperation, the other is a renowned Islamic extremist, terrorist-sympathiser, and ethnic champion who will NEVER enjoy national acceptance beyond his narrow Sharia enclaves in the core north.

Any of them as APC candidate would be good news for the PDP.
That's why he was one of the two mysterious Nigerians caught in S.A over the $9.3m Saga under the leadership of this god-4-saken Ogogoro master!

Obasanjo whose tenure witnessed massive rigging of elections is now been hailed as a nation builder,democrat and baba for all nigerian politicians . Very good ,we already know where we are heading. Atiku will not get the apc ticket and I won't be surprised if he runs back to pdp after next year elections . Apc should forget the presidency and instead focus on winning more states

Texas can't determine haw oda states wuld run her affairs and its resources but in nigeria d case is different. De want d south south 2 always remain under dem and wunt agree 4 tru federalism. Previous northern leaders locked down d constitution of nigeria in favour of north were d south is given 13% derivation formular while d rest goes 2 d north. Is dat not d high level of injustice?

He single handed nominated GEJ and what do we get? Why should we even give a thought to your unreasonable politics of bitterness? Maybe this guy Altiku you tag thief, would make a better president because he already looted our money anyway. what else does he want to loot? bunch of same feather as far I am concern. OBJ is there any better alternative candidate out there, apart from nominating yourself...Baba its time you go into retirement and leave youths to select their leader, don't think we need your conviction on these matter as you already failed us with GEJ...
