Babangida's rgime probe is definitely an item on Buhari's insistence to become President.

I support him in that because IBB's regime set this country on its present self destructive course.

Summary of the interview;

Buhari confesses:
He was at the forefront of the genocide in 1967-1970.
He pulled a pistol at someone during a council meeting.
He is highly temperamental and intolerant.
He is stubborn and unrepentant, even when he was cautioned by his friend and colleague, Buhari dared them.


And ....
Same Buhari made flammable remarks in 2011 elections, his failure at the polls spored ethno-religious crisis that's has not calmed in the northern Nigeria till date.

He is back again, let him in?




PhockPhockMan:
Former Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari has stated that he was aware that Ibrahim Babangida was planning to overthrow him in 1985.

Buhari, a retired major general and presidential aspirant on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC), told TheCable: “It is true that I learnt he was planning a coup against me. And I sat and discussed it with him in my office.

“He brought the news that he went to Kano and [size=28pt]people complained that I pulled a pistol during a council meeting[/size]. I said Ibro ? I called him Ibro because I was just senior to him by a few months ? I said whoever wants to sit on this chair let him come and sit here. And he decided to do it.”

Reminded that the punishment for coup making was death and he could have put Babangida on trial, Buhari told TheCable: “Yes. Remember how many people he killed subsequently for trying to overthrow him? But when I came in, there was no bloodshed. I think a couple of policemen were killed and [Brigadier Ibrahim] Bako also died in an ambush.

“But deliberately, nobody was killed.[size=28pt] I was in the front, the real front in the Nigerian civil war. I had seen enough of death[/size] and I know what God means by human life. Any human being, God values their life. And anybody who hopes to meet God, he should be careful about killing.

“When there is law and due process of law took place, the question is clear. Like the cocaine convicts that were executed, the decision was taken in supreme military council.”

If it is abt integrity, accountability, vision & fight against corruption, I trust @Buhari2015 to deliver. Yes he ordered the execution of the cocain boys and jailed Fela on the grounds of 'No Freedom of speech' etc okay. We know. But we the Buharist of Nigeria has forgiven him for he was young then and Nigerians have always been indiscipline so there had to be 'scape goats'.

History repeats itself, Nigerians are now worse than what they were in 1984. Nigerians are now soo much more unguided. They see their Oga might be enthroned again so they are allll very afraid and spewing rubbish as excuses to rubbish a man we all know is the only one that tried to curb nigerian's excesses.

I know the Retired general may not win, because the level of decadence has gone beyond a point of no return but posterity will never forgive the voters who dashed this dream so many times.

Already some Jonathan followers are expressing guilt and disappointment. You won't be able to tell your children who you voted for out of shame and conscience.

The Buhari Many Nigerians don't know--By Obasanjo “Gen. Muhammadu Buhari is an upright man. Not many people know that his first daughter is married
to an Igbo man from Anambra. He exempted Christians from performing duty on Sundays.

When his Muslim soldiers asked him to exempt them from duty on Friday, he told them the bible says Christians should rest on the 7th day, the Muslims should show him where the Koran says they should rest on Fridays.” – OBASANJO

FACTS

As Head of State he slashed the number of Muslim going on pilgrimage by 50%. His driver and cook for the past 10 years plus are Christians yet some uninformed Nigerians say he is a bigot. It is a pity that some people failed to understand that PDP deliberately capitalised on the gullibility of Nigerians to paint him black. This they did in order to keep their loot and ensure that he never gets the opportunity to send them to goal.

How many Nigerians would hold the appointment of government, minister of petroleum, PTF chairman and head of state yet don’t own a house in Abuja? He has only one house and never kept a foreign account.Love him, hate him you cannot take his integrity away from him.”

You must not rule to affect the life of the populace, infact I have more respect for Tinibu than buhari.

If the article is true to General word.. I think he (Gen. Buhari) was trying too hard to show softer side and how merciful he shown to Babangida even faced with deadth wish.. While to some Nigerian, its shear betrayal, one of the best Nigerian army government cut short, that would have put this nation on the right part...In term of disciplinary, sense of doing right thing and being proud of Nigeria. who knows what Nigerian would have achieve should that government last longer? The action desciplinary man in that Government is General Idiaghon, to some he was dictator government, other felt Nigeria need it at that particular time as things was really bad and getting out of hands looting of treasury, corruption, indiscipline of public services., decline of our foreign reverse, Issue of IMF loans ..within six months of coming to power, some of these problems were duly reverse and Nigeria start believing and more discipline, getting to work on time, avoid taking bribes and professional at their jobs..Government very accountable showing us every months how our foreign debts been reduce and rising of our foreign reserve...even present democracy government don't do accountability to the publics, all we hear is missing billions and scandal upon scandal, indiscipline and corruption is order of the day. However, its shameful that General Buhari robbed Nigerian of that good government and coined cowardice action with Babangida (while iron man Idiaghon outside country) to overthrow good government that bent to improve Nigeria. However, for that simple reason in my own opinion Gen Buhari is not fit to rule Nigeria.. Once a betrayal, he will do it again....its also consider opinion, that GEJ till 2019, is not an option either, that leave us (Nigeria) who to vote? Is it devil you know or devil advocate?

This has further confirmed my belief that Buhari is not man enough to handle Nigeria. Imagine a military man and Cin C for that matter allowing himself to be swept from office with ease, like a house boy. In fact, when I saw him shedding tears after losing election in 2011, I said to myself, "Buhari is a complete weakling and should never be entrusted with a position of leadership".
I like Buhari's moral stance but he lacks the courage, charisma and gut required of a president to move Nigeria forward at this moment.

I doubt the article. Concerning ur view, Buhari self discipline is d 1st major factor that gave him integrity.

General Buhari rose from the rank of a lieutenant in the army to a General. At one time, he was a GOC. He was later appointed Military Administrator of the old North-East. He was in the Petroleum Ministry as minister. In December 1983 he became Head of State via a coup. During late General Sani Abacha’s regime, he headed the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) before former President Obasanjo scrapped it. But I read in the papers where the General himself said after obtaining his CPC presidential form, which cost him over N5 Million, he is now left with less than a million Naira in his account. Now my task is to challenge all of us to ensure this man becomes President this year. General Buhari deserves to be given a chance. When he became Head of State after the 1983 coup, thousands of Second Republic politicians, including me, were picked and locked up by the Junta. But even in kirikiri, I discovered that the NPN elements among us were giving bribe to prison officials to ensure they got a double ration of food. It dawned on me that people who can offer bribes even in kirikiri have no reason to be our leaders. Buhari was vindicated.

My brother, it is good to know the crux of a matter before commenting. The crux of the matter here is not about Buhari not having integrity, it is about his lack of courage to act like a man when the situation demanded. How can Buhari know that IBB was planning a coup against him and he sat there doing nothing? Is that what a man should do? In fact not just an ordinary man, Buhari a military man and COMMANDER -IN-CHIEF for that matter.
The man Nigeria needs now is a man having BOTH integrity and courage, who is ready to tackle Nigeria challenges headlong, not minding the consequence to his own life.
