Arowolo Dare Re: 2015 Nigerian Presidential Election ================== >We are people with different inclinations but for the purpose of those who are detached from history or the youths below the age of 30 or those who had been fed with historical distortions there is need to put the record straight for a man whose track record remains a phenomenon in Nigeria, Africa and the world at large. > Buhari was governor of Borno state under Obasanjo regime and later minister of petroleum > > Buhari birthed and supervised the establishment of the existing refineries. > He was Head of State between 1983 -1985 (a period of 20 months) > There was no religious crisis while he was Head of State > > He reduced inflation from 23% to 4% by fiscal discipline and home grown economic team (not achieved under any other era) > J.J. Rawlings of Ghana took over 2 years before him and killed all the corrupt leaders, while Buhari only sentenced the corrupt leaders in Nigeria to prison. > Under his watch as PTF Chairman, what he did in road construction in that short period hasnt been matched by 15 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. > He refused to collect allowance while serving as Chairman of the PTF because he said he was already drawing pension from Federal Government, his conscience would not allow him to draw another salary from the purse of same government. > He returned excess money spent to purse of government on his return from oversea training as a military officer > He is the only former Head of State that does not own property or land in Abuja till today. > Buhari personally recommended late Dora Akunyili to OBJ because of her diligence during PTF interaction. > Every attempt to rubbish him through probes in time past ended up vindicating him! The man who was asked by OBJ to take over PTF before it was scrapped with the aim of indicting Buhari ended up being prosecuted for misappropriating $100 million of PTF funds! > His personal driver of many years is a christian from Plateau state! > He has OPENLY challenged those who accused him of religious fundamentalism to come out and show proof. No one has, till today, taken up the challenge. > He is the ONLY politician in northern Nigeria today who fills rallies without renting a crowd! > People who know him, including Pastor Tunde Bakare, have attested to his penchant for honest and transparent leadership, anchored sustainably on discipline and zero tolerance to corruption. >If honesty and probity are the things you want for Nigeria, now is the time to choose right. >Conscience is an open wound, only truth can heal it > Enough of Politics of bickering; it is politics of action, politics of what u can offer Nigeria. . > Spread the message to the uninformed, misinformed and all Nigerians home and abroad
