Buhari was asked to articulate his proposal in dealing with some of the issues you mentioned above, it seemed as if he didn't envisage those questions never mind have answers to them. GEJ is a disaster no doubt but I don't think Buhari will do any better. For those that believe strongly in his ability to deal with corruption, he has to deal with the NA and unfortunately for him, he no longer has a khaki and koboko to hand o.

We are caught between a rock and a hard place if GMB and GEJ are our only options

Obiagelli:

let's not forget that buhari has a history of delegating responsibility, idiagbon was almost like a second president under Buhari. Buhari can pick a younger and vibrant VP (fashola) and it would be a win win for us in terms of administration.

Arch1:
According to you Buhari's henchmen made Gejs administration ungovernable yet Gej hasnt arrested and prosecuted anyone of them. Desnt that give credence to the fact president jonathan is weak and clueless.

The same GEJ that gave Hamzat Al-Mustapha; General Sanni Abacha's hitman a presidential pardon.

The same GEJ that withdrew the corruption charges against Mohammed Abacah, Generla Sani Abachas Son so that that the latter can contest in the Kano Gubernatotial election under PDP

The same GEJ that has a camaraderie with Ali Modu-Sheriff the founder of Mohammed Yusuf's Boko Haram

As usual, OP has reasoned from an ethnocentric perspective

naijababe:


Give me a hug son and for the record I am personally not sold on the integrity 'ish'. As much as I cannot stand El-Rufai, I'd much rather have him as president than Buhari. Anyone who watched the debate of the 2011 elections between GMB, Ribadu and Shekarau and still wants Buhari as president needs his head examined.

Obiagelli:

Please when are where was Buhari asked to articulate his proposal? Please provide a link. Thanks.

ilugunboy:


In fact....Buhari administration was the only one referred to jointly with his deputy.....

The Buhari/Idiagbon government..shows you that the man delegates and a team player.

You want to talk about Nigerian politics without the realities of ethnic sentiments in 2015?

As much as I wish, this country is not yet United States of Nigerians

Gbawe:


Madam, you have to shun idealism and, for now, view issues pragmatically and realistically in eelation to want obtains today and what Nigeria must do to get back on track. Let us not fool ourselves. 2011 proved conclusively that Buhari is one of the very few leaders who can defeat GEJ who is a champion of corruption many will fight for and defend with their wealrh and sweat. I supported Ribadu in 2011 yet how well did he do? Shouldewe gamble again trying to be "forward thinking ", perhaps because we are in the educated and politically sophisticated minority, when the majority who will vote think very differently to me and you?

With Buhari we have the twin benefits of hosting a guaranteed vote-winner who will also shun corruption and , most importantly, empower the most talented to lead everywhere. It is not about wanting an Obama or Cameron-type President because that is what our world view of progress indicate to us pereonally. This is the mistake some of us made in 2011. It is about recognisinf the reality of Nigeria and working with that realoty pragmatically till we can have a nation and electorate that will routonely embrace the Ribadus and Fasholas of the world routinely for our top job. We are not at all at that level and must not fool ourselves that this is the case merely because a few of us would go out to vote an Utomi or EL-Rufai. This is the time to drop individual ego and think in terms of what is best for Nigeria and who the majority will embrace in what id now a desperate fight to rescue our nation from a corrupt and private jet-owning oligarchy.

Nobleval:
you forgot that his administration has been made ungovernable by Buhari's hench men.

naijababe:


Really?! You mean Idiagbon was simply not pushover and could not have been the usual dondu VP. Let me remind you that many people believe that if Idiagbon was in Nigeria, IBB's palace coup could and would not have succeeded.

OAM4J:


Let me end on a light note with something I observed here on Nairaland and other social media; anytime Buhari’s name is mentioned I see PDP supporters and Jonathanians suddenly become special consultants/advisers for the oppositions on how to choose the best presidential candidate. They will suggest 'better' candidates, analyse how Buhari is unelectable and how Buhari’s candidacy means easy passage for Jonathan. But IMO, I think they are afraid of Buhari. If they are sure Buhari is a walk-over for Jonathan, they will be encouraging the opposition to field him rather than advising them to choose another.

Thanks for reading.

No! He is not weak nor clueless.


@bolded.
He was playing safe...trying to placate the hungry and angry lions surrounding him. He knew that they're capable of making things worst for this nation.

We all know that Buhari is never an orator or an articulate person. But those qualities good as they are, are not the only criteria for dettermining a good leader

Independent counsel investigation

The charges arose from an investigation by Independent Counsel Ken Starr. Originally dealing with the failed land deal years earlier known as Whitewater, Starr, with the approval of United States Attorney General Janet Reno, conducted a wide ranging investigation of alleged abuses including the firing of White House travel agents, the alleged misuse of FBI files, and Bill Clinton's conduct during the sexual harassment lawsuit filed by a former Arkansas government employee, Paula Jones. In the course of the investigation, Linda Tripp provided Starr with taped phone conversations in which Monica Lewinsky, a former White House Intern, discussed having MouthAction with Clinton. At the deposition, the judge rejected the plaintiff's lawyer's definition of the term "sexual relations" that Clinton claims to have construed to mean only vaginal intercourse. Judge Wright then told the attorney's they could be as explicit as necessary in asking their questions. They chose to ask only if he had sex with Monica Lewinsky, thus making his testimony that he had not done so honest.

A much-quoted statement from Clinton's grand jury testimony showed him questioning the precise use of the word "is." Contending that his statement that "there's nothing going on between us" had been truthful because he had no ongoing relationship with Lewinsky at the time he was questioned, Clinton said, "It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the—if he—if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not—that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement". Starr obtained further evidence of inappropriate behavior by seizing the computer hard drive and email records of Monica Lewinsky. Based on his conflicting testimony, Starr concluded that Clinton had committed perjury. Starr submitted his findings to Congress in a lengthy document (the so-called Starr Report), and simultaneously posted the report on the internet, replete with lurid descriptions of encounters between Clinton and Lewinsky. Starr was criticized by Democrats for spending $70 million on an investigation that substantiated only perjury and obstruction of justice. Critics of Starr also contend that his investigation was highly politicized because it regularly leaked tidbits of information to the press, in violation of legal ethics, and because his report included lengthy descriptions which were humiliating yet irrelevant to the legal case.

I am sorry bro, anyone who is unable to articulate his ideas in an interview does not deserve a job he is applying for.
