Tell me why I should vote for Buhari.
Be open minded and civil.

Waiting for you!!

For me, it is because Nigeria has no other person with the followership that Buhari currently has and I am DONE with PDP and GEJ.
I would prefer younger and sharper but GEJ is younger and look where we are now. NOI is Harvard quality, same story.
So why not give the tenacious Buhari with good antecedents a chance? He is old and certainly won't give us any excuse about "people not letting him work". For whatever it is worth, let us try something different.

1. He served as military administrator, GOC, Petroleum Minister, PTF Chairman, etc and produced unequalled results in all tasks.

2. He was never found corrupt despite mere allegations

3. He championed corrupt - free society and treated everyone equally

4. There is no cabal where he's involved. His government favours the masses. That's why he's no friend of the caliphate nor the emergency contractors

5. There was no ethnic or religious crisis when he was in power. We were more secure

6. The economy did well under him and our foreign policy had direction with mutual respect from developed countries

7. Etc

Care to talk about them to me?

2. He was never found corrupt despite mere allegations

If he was never found corrupt, does it mean he is not corrupt?

3. He championed corrupt - free society and treated everyone equally

How did he do that? What result did he achieve?

4. There is no cabal where he's involved. His government favours the masses. That's why he's no friend of the caliphate nor the emergency contractors

Can you explain more?

5. There was no ethnic or religious crisis when he was in power. We were more secure

Maitatsine? Religious riots were most started by moslems unfortunately. Could it be because they were comfortable with him as one of their own and he was very religious too?

6. The economy did well under him and our foreign policy had direction with mutual respect from developed countries

Can you give me facts?

Fashola and Kwankwaso cannot garner the required votes in this short period we have before 14/02/2014.

Using South Africa as a case study, I can't really say having Mandela lead made a difference in the next crop of leaders the country had but I am hoping that Buhari's coming will open up ways for the "Obama's" that we want.
As things stand, a young, hardworking and upright person will be unable to get to the corridors of powers in Nigeria.

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 BUHARI, you would have cast one vote for a honest man.

Now that you know better, will you please educate others BY FORWARDING THIS TO AS MANY AS YOU CAN!!!

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.

because he needs to pay back the loan he took for nomination.

Imagine a man that was a Minister, Governor, Chairman of PTF and a Head of state but never loot public treasury at his 40's and 50's while he had the opportunity what do you think he will loot at his 70's? What will he achieve out of it?

He is still better than the one who refuse to declare his assets in order to steal.

God bless you

The bolded part has been my stance with regards to getting someone suave,articulate and smart into the corridors of power in Nigeria.......that is,someone has to chart the way for that individual and Buhari's popularity fits perfectly that description

We can leverage on his never-before-seen passionate followership which is not purchased through stomach infrastructure to attach a fantastic administrator like Fashola,Oshiomhole,Amaechi,Pat Utomi,Donald Duke as VP candidates after which they would have been sufficiently positioned and understood the nuances of playing National politics to take over going forward.......normally the duo of Okorocha and Soludo should ordinarily be amongst the 1st eleven but for the fact that their people loath them hence wont vote for them

Let no one fool himself,none of those folks can single-handedly garner the required votes to oust GEJ who is ready to bankrupt Nigeria

Let the OP leave his comfort zone in London and come to Nigeria.

No one should waste his time with this certified Jonathanian seeking for attention.

I feel you Pataki. The response of anyone on this thread would be to convince those who are still sitting on the fence and not those who have staunchly decided to go with GEJ.

Just in case any one is reading this: PLEASE NOTE THAT AT THIS POINT WE ARE IN NIGERIA, WE NEED A CHANGE FROM THE STATUS QUO.
That is all.

Hey Tollu....how you dey?

Some of us can see through the charade of some of this time wasters who are bent on voting in again this ultra-corrupt, and lying scumbag of a President.

Nigeria has never had this unprecedented hardship and gross insecurity as experienced under this clueless leader called GEJ.

Have we forgotten so soon that we voted for GEJ in 2011, and 01-01-2012, Goodluck blessed Nigerians with subsidy removal. We cannot continue with the status quo in this country. Insecurity, repeated strikes, loss of lives daily, corruption on the rise, and senseless display of lawlessness in the land.

Nigeria is bleeding, and our votes to kick out this corrupt party that has not reversed Nigeria since 1999 needs to be kicked out.

We need a CHANGE.

Sweet, no mosquitoes and Anambra has arguably the best road network in the country(I am not from Anambra). Power is fairly steady and criminals have been given a red card by Obiano. It is cool here.

By looting. Although APC goats will say debts are.normal for anyone to grow
