Buhari is not a saint, perhaps the devil we know, and we need him most desperately at a time like this in the life of Nigeria, which is on the brinks of oblivion through the colossal upheavals of insecurity and corruption happening in an unprecedented manner under the watch of GEJ and the PDP. Under Buhari, Nigeria wouldnt have ceded Bakkasi Peninsula to Cameroon and Boko Haram wouldnt have thrived. The elite dont want him, because, his impeccable disciplinary tendency would be a thorn in their flesh if he emerges as the president next year. But as for me, the opportunity cost of having him as the president is going to jail of a few corrupt individuals in Nigeria and instilling a relative discipline in the polity, while that of not having him as the president is perpetuation and outrageous escalation of the status quo by the PDP, which will eventually balkanize or demise this animal farm in the most tragic manner. Its about time Nigerians subjected themselves to rigorous soul searching to prioritize within the purview and precints of the lesser cost in the choice we make, so as not to throw the baby out with the bath water and in the end trade blames and regrets. Whoever exonorates all those Buhari penalized in his short-lived regime is being economical with the truth, example Tai Solarin was enmeshed in mismanagement under IBBs regime thereafter, which negates practice what you preach dictum. Its a well known fact that if one finger touches oil, it transfers to others; perhaps some where wrongly victimised for things they didnt do in a band wagon of cleansing the system of corruption, which abodes and navigates with civil rule in Nigeria in an unholy consistent intercourse, and until we seperate the two with coercive severance to a rebirth of the civil rule into true democracy, we would soon meet our waterloo, God forbid, not while Buhari, the right man for the job is still alive. Its empirical that people simmer their extreme tenecities with time, especially in the face of vehement criticisms, and Buhari is not an exception, though its not gainful for him to lose all his conservativism in his pursuit of progressivism, he will bring the two to an interface for efficio-effectiveness. These indices indicate hes a changed person; I watched him on the Tv, while he sat under Pastor Adeboye twice to hear the word of God, he even picked Tunde Bakare, a pastor as his running mate in the last elections instead of an ordinary politician. As a serving general, he drove Chadians back, when they encroached into Nigerian borders. Mrs Sharon Ikeazor, former APC woman leader from Anambra, my state told me one on one that Buhari made her the National woman leader of the defunct CPC and also insisted she should continue as APC woman leader, which was conceded to her, till the National congress that saw the emergence of the new EXCOS was held. All these and more clearly show that Buhari is a jingoist, a patriotic Nigerian and a Pan-African, and not a tribalist and a religious bigot that the corrupt political elite use in abusing the minds of the uninformed against him. He has changed because he has been working with partisan civilians for a donkey years now, not soldiers, he even wept openly in the public glare about our societal ills, a function of his increased humane aspect. Prof, if the incumbent Vice President, your friend, who was percieved as positive, changed to negative, then there is the possibility of Buhari to change from the percieved negative to the positive. As for me, I say the truth point blank and go my way. The best thing for us to do is to vote him en mass in 2015 to replace the bad governance of GEJ and PDP. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
