Mr buhari has nothing to offer us, this agenda looks beautifully clueless...just speculating..

Mr Buhari, stop bullshiting your president if u
really want to become one...a leader who can
keep his mouth shut is known to be wise, but u
are not in anyway wise.
Mr buhari, if u truly claim you are a potential
leader, respect anybody who rule over you, that
will portray your level of sanity.
Mr buhari, tell Nigerians what you want to offer
us if probably you emerge, stop hiding under
President Jonathan and stop using him to cover
for ur incompetence
Mr buhari, your e-warriors goat, dog, baboons are
out here just to spill lies...a leader is known by
their followers.
Mr buhari, say what is meaningful..you are not a

BEFORE I CAN SUPPORT BUHARI, !
Before I can consider joining the BB Train. Below
are my concerns:
I thought it was the rot of the SHAGARI
Government, then followed by the decay of the
Military ERA and climaxing with the STENCH of the
ABACHA Government (of which GENERAL BUHARI
WAS PART AND PARCEL) that 'brought Nigeria to a
dangerous and sorry state, a state that life has
become short and brutal', and from which it has
still not recovered since then. PLEASE CHECK
YOUR HISTORY AND YOUR FACTS!
The often MOUTHED BUHARI ERA and REGIME (of
NEARLY 30 YEARS AGO) used as a reference point
by his 'admirers' and apologists, was marked by
BRUTE FORCE, LACK OF VISION, LACK OF
POLITICAL IDEOLOGY AND AGENDA AND ANY
ECONOMIC POLICY, BUT FOUNDED ON GRA-GRA.
In fact, the ONLY ECONOMIC policy that I can still
remember and associate his regime with was the
era of ESSENTIAL COMMODITY (ESSENCO), where
people were being BULLIED, WHIPPED AND
FORCED TO SELL THEIR OWN wares and goods
(NOT GOVERNMENT OWNED) BY FORCE.
BUHARI SHUT DOWN NEWSPAPER HOUSES AND
HARASSED JOURNALISTS AND THREW THEM IN
GULLAGS OR SENT THEM TO GALLOWS.
BUHARI'S GALLOWS OR GULAGS, UNDER THE SSS
(OR NSO) WERE NOT FIT FOR HUMANS. And this
contributed largely to the DEATH of some of those
that were SELECTIVELY and UNLAWFULLY
DETAINED there. PLAIN MURDER.
BUHARI passed OBNOXIOUS LAWS, including
RETROSPECTIVE LAWS and MURDERED
INDIVIDUALS, SIMPLY FOR DRUG TRAFFICKING.
BUHARI ABUSED THE DIGNITY OF AN INDIVIDUAL
and CRATED HIM like a CHICKEN, while
attempting to UNLAWFULLY EXPORT HIM OUT OF
THE UK, IN GROSS ABUSE OF THE PERSON'S
DIGNITY, AND IN CONTRAVENTION OF
INTERNATIONAL LAWS.
BUHARI WATCHED ABIOLA JAILED AND DIE IN
JAIL in the HANDS of ABACHA, while he watched
and carried on BUSINESS AS USUAL SERVING AND
WORKING FOR THE SAME ABACHA'S
GOVERNMENT.
BUHARI WATCHED ON AND WATCHED JUNE 12
DIE IN THE HANDS OF ABACHA.
BUHARI also WATCHED KEN SAROWIWA

PoliticsThrowback: Ibb’s Speech After He Overthrew General Buhari In 1985 (READ) by thinkdip(op): 10:28pm On Dec 26, 2014
Barely two years into Gen Buhari’s military administration, when the country was driving in the path of a Nigeria which was characterized by stern decrees and policies and what may people thought was high-handedness on the part of the Buhari and his second in command, Tunde Idiagbon, his government was toppled by a coup.
On Tuesday, August 27, 1985 a palace coup was plotted against the Gen Buhari-led government on the allegation that the government was guilty of dictatorial lack of consultation with the existing military colleagues, gross abuse of human rights, exemplified by mass detention of politicians and military officers without due process of fair hearing, proscription of professional organizations, media robbery of the freedom of press and enforcement of retrospective laws.

“Regrettably, it turned out that Major-General Muhammadu Buhari was too rigid and uncompromising in his attitudes to issues of national significance,” Babangida said in his takeover speech. “Efforts to make him understand that a diverse polity like Nigeria required recognition and appreciation of differences in both cultural and individual perceptions, only served to aggravate these attitudes.”

Find below the full transcript of the speech by Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, given on Tuesday, August 27, 1985:

Fellow Nigerians, When in December 1983, the former military leadership, headed by Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, assumed the reins of government, its accession was heralded in the history of this country.

With the nation at the mercy of political misdirection and on the brink of economic collapse, a new sense of hope was created in the minds of every Nigerian. Since January 1984, however, we have witnessed a systematic denigration of that hope. It was stated then that mismanagement of political leadership and a general deterioration in the standard of living, which had subjected the common man to intolerable suffering, were the reasons for the intervention.

Nigerians have since then been under a regime that continued with those trends. Events today indicate that most of the reasons which justified the military takeover of government from the civilians still persist. The initial objectives were betrayed and fundamental changes do not appear on the horizon. Because the present state of uncertainty, suppression and stagnation resulted from the perpetration of a small group, the Nigerian Armed Forces could not as a part of that government be unfairly committed to take responsibility for failure.

Our dedication to the cause of ensuring that our nation remains a united entity worthy of respect and capable of functioning as a viable and credible part of the international community dictated the need to arrest the situation. Let me at this point attempt to make you understand the premise upon which it became necessary to change the leadership.

The principles of discussions, consultation and co-operation which should have guided decision-making process of the Supreme Military Council and the Federal Executive Council were disregarded soon after the government settled down in 1984. Where some of us thought it appropriate to give a little more time, anticipating a conducive atmosphere that would develop, in which affairs of state could be attended to with greater sense of responsibility, it became increasingly clear that such expectations could not be fulfilled. Regrettably, it turned out that Major-General Muhammadu Buhari was too rigid and uncompromising in his attitudes to issues of national significance.

Efforts to make him understand that a diverse polity like Nigeria required recognition and appreciation of differences in both cultural and individual perceptions, only served to aggravate these attitudes. Major-General Tunde Idiagbon was similarly inclined in that respect. As Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters, he failed to exhibit the appropriate disposition demanded by his position.

He arrogated to himself absolute knowledge of problems and solutions, and acted in accordance with what was convenient to him, using the machinery of government as his tool. A combination of these characteristics in the two most important persons holding the nation’s vital offices became impossible to content with. The situation was made worse by a number of other government functionaries and organisations, chief among which is the Nigerian Security Organisation (NSO).

In fact, this body will be overhauled and re-organized. And so it came to be that the same government which received the tumultuous welcome now became alienated from the people. To prevent a complete erosion of our given mandate therefore, we had to act so that hope may be rebuilt. Let me now address your attention to the major issues that confront us, so that we may, as one people, chart a future direction for our dear country.

We do not pretend to have all the answers to the questions which our present problems have put before our nation. We have come with the strongest determination to create an atmosphere in which positive efforts shall be given the necessary support for lasting solutions. For matters of the moment which require immediate resolutions, we intend to pursue a determined programme of action.

Major issues falling into this category have been identified and decisions taken on what should be done. Firstly, the issue of political detainees or convicts of special military tribunals. The history of our nation had never recorded the degree of indiscipline and corruption as in the period between October 1979 and December 1983. While this government recognises the bitterness created by the irresponsible excesses of the politicians, we consider it unfortunate that methods of such nature as to cause more bitterness were applied to deal with past misdeeds. We must never allow ourselves to lose our sense of natural justice. The innocent cannot suffer the crimes of the guilty.

The guilty should be punished only as a lesson for the future. In line with this government’s intention to uphold fundamental human rights, the issue of detainees will be looked into with despatch. As we do not intend to lead a country where individuals are under the fear of expressing themselves, the Public Officers Protection Against False Accusation Decree 4 of 1984 is hereby repealed. And finally, those who have been in detention under this decree are hereby unconditionally released.

The responsibility of the media to disseminate information shall be exercised without undue hindrance. In that process, those responsible are expected to be forthright and to have the nation’s interest as their primary consideration. The issue of decrees has generated a lot of controversies.

It is the intention of this government to review all other decrees. The last twenty months have not witnessed any significant changes in the national economy. Contrary to expectations, we have so far been subjected to a steady deterioration in the general standard of living; and intolerable suffering by the ordinary Nigerians have risen higher, scarcity of commodities has increased, hospitals still remain mere consulting clinics, while educational institutions are on the brink of decay.

Unemployment has stretched to critical dimensions. Due to the stalemate, which arose in negotiation with the International Monetary Fund, the former government embarked on a series of counter-trade agreements. Under the counter-trade agreements, Nigerians were forced to buy goods and commodities at higher prices than obtained in the international market.

The government intends to review the whole issue of counter-trade. A lot has been said and heard about our position with the International Monetary Fund. Although we formally applied to the fund in April 1983, no progress has as yet been made in the negotiation and a stalemate has existed for the last two years. We shall break the deadlock that frustrated the negotiations with a view to evaluating more objectively both the negative and positive implications of reaching a mutual agreement with the Fund.

At all times in the course of discussions, our representatives will be guided by the feelings and aspirations of the Nigerian people. It is the view of this government that austerity without structural adjustment is not the solution to our economic predicament. The present situation whereby 44 per cent of our revenue earning is utilised to service debts is not realistic.

To protect the danger this poses to the poor and the needy in our society, steps will be taken to ensure comprehensive strategy of economic reforms. The crux of our economic problems has been identified to centre around four fundamental issues:

1. A decrease of our domestic production, while our population continues to increase.

2. Dependence on import for both consumer goods and raw materials for our industries.

3. A grossly unequal gap between the rich and the poor.

4. The large role played by the public sector in economic activity with hardly any concrete results to justify such a role.


These are the problems we must confront.

ON FOREIGN POLICY: Nigeria’s foreign policy in the last 20 months has been characterised by inconsistency and incoherence. It has lacked the clarity to make us know where we stood on matters of international concern to enable other countries relate to us with seriousness. Our role as Africa’s spokesman has diminished because we have been unable to maintain the respect of African countries.

The ousted military government conducted our external relations by a policy of retaliatory reactions. Nigeria became a country that has reacted to given situations, rather than taking the initiative as it should and always been done. More so, vengeful considerations. must not be the basis of our diplomacy. African problems and their solutions should constitute the premise of our foreign policy. The realisation of the Organisation of African Unity of the Lagos Plan of Action for self-sufficiency and constructive co-operation in Africa shall be our primary pursuit. The Economic Community of West African States must be reborn with the view to achieving the objective of regional integration.

The problems of drought-stricken areas of Africa will be given more attention and sympathy, and our best efforts will be made to assist in their rehabilitation within the limits of our resources. Our membership of the United Nations Organisation will be made more practical and meaningful.

The call for a new International Economic Order which lost its momentum in the face of the debt crisis will be made once again. Nigeria hereby makes a renewed request to the Non-Aligned Movement to regroup and reinvigorate its determination to restructure the global economic system, while we appeal to the industrialized nations to positively consider the debt plight of the developing countries and assist in dealing with the dangers that face us.

We shall remain members of the various multilateral institutions and inter-governmental organisations which we belong to and do what must be done to enhance the membership and participation within them. Fellow Nigerians, this country has had since independence a history mixed with turbulence and fortune.

We have witnessed our rise to greatness, followed with a decline to the state of a bewildered nation. Our human potentials have been neglected, our natural resources put to waste. A phenomenon of constant insecurity and overbearing uncertainty has become characteristic of our national existence. My colleagues and I are determined to change the course of history.

This government is determined to unite this country. We shall not allow anything to obstruct us. We recognise that a government, be it civilian or military, needs the consent of the people to govern if it is to reach its objective. We do not intend to rule by force. At the same time, we should not be expected to submit to unreasonable demands. Fundamental rights and civil liberties will be respected, but their exercise must not degenerate into irrational expression nor border on subversion.

The War Against Indiscipline will continue, but this time, in the minds and conduct of Nigerians, and not by way of symbolism or money-spending campaigns. This government, on its part, will ensure that the leadership exhibits proper example.

Criticisms of actions and decisions taken by us will be given necessary attention and where necessary changes made in accordance with what is expected of us. Let me reiterate what we said in 1984: This generation of Nigerians and indeed future generations have no other country but Nigeria. We must all stay and salvage it together. This time it shall be pursued with deeper commitment and genuine sincerity.

There is a lot of work to be done by every single Nigerian. Let us all dedicate ourselves to the cause of building a strong, united and viable nation for the sake of our own lives and the benefits of posterity. Finally, I wish to commend the members of the Armed Forces and the Nigeria Police for their mature conduct during the change. I thank you all for your co-operation and understanding. God bless Nigeria.
