Help Me Decide Between Jonathan And Buhari. Questions For Buhari Supporters! by Jorgen(op): 12:05am On Dec 15, 2014
Hello,
I know most Nigerians have pitched their tents in either the GEJ or GMB camps, well I am still undecided and I know their are a number like me, so answers to my questions would also be helpful for them.
Many GMB supporters say GEJ is clueless but one thing is sure if he wins in February things would remain the same and this is either a good or bad thing depending on your economic situation. Buhari brings uncertainty and uncertainty is bad for business. Though that is the change the common man wants. so here are my 3 questions:

1. Buhari is known to have uttered statements in the past which are not suitable for the leader of a secular nation like Nigeria, he also didn't do anything to stop his supporters when they went on rampage in 2011 killing corpers in the North. How are we sure that if elected he would be able to handle the ethnic tensions in Nigeria and unite us along religious lines.

2. I hear many of Buhari's supporters talking about how he would stamp out corruption, i would like to know how this would be possible when he is in bed with known thieves like Tinubu and Atiku. Also even though his party has men of integrity like Fashola and Fayemi their are still so many crooks in the APC that it could be easily be confused with the PDP. How would he cure corruption if his house is so sick?

3. Lastly, Many of his supporters talk about change but what proof do they have that he would actually bring change, anybody could stand up and say they would bring change but I don't understand what makes them so sure Buhari is the answer. Usually you would look at someone's pedigree and past actions to make judgements on their future acts but I think Buhari's actions as a military dictator are not enough. We live in a democracy now and things are done a little differently.

I would really appreciate sensible answers to my questions.
Thanks a lot.

But in my opinion GMB do not have it in him to bring the change Nigeria need...He is a sectionalist, a sectarian government in Nigeria will cause more harm than good...

It is actually Sad. GEJ is clueless and GMB doesn't have much going for him. if it was someone like Fashola at least people can discuss based on his legacy in Lagos.
I really wish I would get sensible answers from an APC supporter though.

APC are the biggest bigots in the world.
I fear the fate of the weak, children and women if they get into power!

The grounds on which General Buhari is being promoted as the alternative choice are not only shaky, but pitifully naive. History matters. Records are not kept simply to assist the weakness of memory, but to operate as guides to the future. Of course, we know that human beings change. What the claims of personality change or transformation impose on us is a rigorous inspection of the evidence, not wishful speculation or behind-the-scenes assurances. Public offence, crimes against a polity, must be answered in the public space, not in caucuses of bargaining. In Buhari, we have been offered no evidence of the sheerest prospect of change. On the contrary, all evident suggests that this is one individual who remains convinced that this is one ex-ruler that the nation cannot call to order.

Buhari – need one remind anyone - was one of the generals who treated a Commission of Enquiry, the Oputa Panel, with unconcealed disdain. Like Babangida and Abdusalami, he refused to put in appearance even though complaints that were tabled against him involved a career of gross abuses of power and blatant assault on the fundamental human rights of the Nigerian citizenry. - Wole Soyinka
