A Good Read! Ladies and gentlemen, I am Muhammadu Buhari, and today I am 69 years old; and I am sure I don’t have to remind you that I have fought many battles in my life. I have fought drift and purposelessness in this nation. I have fought corruption and indiscipline. I have fought indolence and the betrayal of trusts. I have fought the Nigerian civil war and struggled for the unity of this country in many other ways. I have had the fortune and privilege of managing national resources in various capacities—as a military commander, as a state governor, as a minister, as head of the Petroleum Trust Fund, and as the head of state of this great country. And in all that I have been and done, I have never touched a kobo of public funds. I say this without pride and with all sense of responsibility and humility; but I challenge anyone in the race for the leadership of this country then or now to dare make the same claim.” ----- Muhammadu Buhari (GMB) --- Wednesday, 13th April, 2011. This wager from GMB was made in April 2011. We are challenging all concerned, including the current rulers, who are interested in seeking the mandate of Nigerians in 2015, to take up the gauntlet and step forward and make similar declaration. As Nigerians, we are waiting........ yes still waiting! Rotimi Fashakin.
