Presidential aide Dr Doyin Okupe thinks the Buhari and Amaechi ticket a 'fatal error' lol. Whatever that means. We are all speculating sha! APC hasn't announced it officially. They have untilDecember 18thto submit the names of its Presidential candidate and running mate to INEC.

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 2 years 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 12 years 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 ended 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 rumors 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? THIS IS MORE THAN A CAMPAIGN.IT'S JUST THE TRUTH!!!

I've read & listened to buhari and there's no doubt in my mind that he has good intentions for this country. Likewise Gej, the only problem here is the company they surround themselves with. Gej with his good intents has failed to deliver in so many aspects due to the people surrounding him who are sychophants and only there for their pockets. And buhari now in Apc has surrounded himself with politicians of all sorts who are selfish and desperate power, if he makes it to Aso rock come 2015 he's going to be a different man from the General of 1985.

But seriously it is pathetic to be in the ICT generation, under 30s. Everythin has to be a story and the story is coloured by the teller. This is the generation that the Otuoke man who was doing o level teaching.when Buhari was head of state is lying to.
Some of this generation from the east have.also been lied to that the Nigerian civil war was an invasion of the east by the north followed by genocide perpetrated by gowon. The exact chronology of events distorted for a visual generation.who would rather instagram than think or do research.

is doyin a member of Apc?

Wetin concern doyin with this

This man knows not what he is saying. PDP's constitution is a bigger 'fatal error'.

Buhari and Amaechi, two men angry at PDP/GEJ.

GEJ is in trouble!

If it's a fatal error, he does not need to say it out.

OKupe means dump man

Doyin Okupe, go and die! You stupid saTANist.

No comment

Bastard Doyin Okupe's obsession with APC is a clear sign that Aso rock is having it tough from APC and the party is giving them sleepless nights.

Ermm, I'm more interested in the Nigeria civil war part..Are you saying the East was not invaded by the North? Are you trying to say the genocide was a lie? Seriously?

is he saying this for his interest or the interest of apc. because to
me, if my enemy wants to make a wrong decision that would give me an edge over him, I would rather play dumb and possibly. encourage him.

so now doting Bastaaard okupe, what is your interest in alcohol vp slot?

Sorry to say this, but if you have PA's and you have kids, and your PA's advice you to abuse your children, would you just go ahead and do it or you would give it a rethink and fire the PA.
We are questionable for every actions we take, good or bad. In other climes, rather than soil your name even if it is an allegation you resign.
I get tired hearing people give excuses for Jonathan's failure. A president swore an oath to protect the lives and property of its citizen, if God where to act the way he acted in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, he would have long been struck out.
All we need is someone that has got the leadership skill, the bible describes such person as a teacher, humble, raises leaders and not followers, take for instance Jesus raised 12 disciples as leaders and not followers.
If buhari fails to perform we kick him out too, it is high time they "politicians" realise the power belongs to the people.
I look forward to the day when the good people of Nigeria can obtain certain amount of signatures to pull out a non performer even before the next election with the courts might. That way we don't have to wait for the HOR or NA thieves. Even they too would be at the people's mercy because they can be pulled out.

I sense fear in the camp of PDP.

i smell fear here.this mofos and Gej attackdogs fear this Amaechi more than the General himself.
