From one Abdullahi Baba: WHO IS BUHARI I write this because of millions of Nigerians who are below 30 and who constitute a significant chunk of our voting population. This is the ICTgeneration that is largely ignorantabout the events of the Buhari era(1983-85) and so can bemisinformed and misled by needlesspropaganda. I have sat with many in the under-30 bracket and those slightly above who only have faint recollections of the Buhari era and the level of ignorance about that is amazing. Before being MILITARY Head of State, Buhari had been Governor of one of the Northern States (under Obasanjo’s Military government) as well as Minister for Petroleum. He later served asChairman of PTF under Abacha.Please consider the following un assailable facts: ·He birthed and supervised the establishment of our existing refineries. ·There was no religious crisis while he was Head of State. It started under his successorIBB! ·In his time as Head of State hereduced inflation from 23% to 4%,by fiscal discipline and a homegrowneconomic team (not achieved underany other era, even military). ·JJRawlings of Ghana took over 2yrsbefore him, and killed all thecorrupt leaders, while Buhari onlysentenced the corrupt leaders hereto prison. ·Under his watch as PTFChairman, what he did in roadconstruction in that short periodhasn’t been matched by 12yrs ofthe PDP. ·Hospitals and universitiesaround the country never witnessedas much benefits as they got fromthe PTF from any government afteror before his time. ·Despite servingin senior capacity in the oil sector,first as Minister for Petroleum andthen Petroleum Trust Fund, Buharihas no petrol station, much less arig, refinery or an oil block like somany of our leaders. ·He could have retired into nauseating opulence like an IBB or Danjuma or even OBJ but didnt. ·Instead of hobnobbing withthe high and mighty, he has cast hislot with the ordinary man most ofwho follow him out of hope andbelief in his values. People whoknow him have said of him… “All Ineed from Buhari is his word, I cantake it to the bank”. ·He is the onlypolitician in the North today whofills rallies without renting a crowd.The Kaduna rally of 2nd March iseloquent proof! ·He refused tocollect an allowance while serving asChairman of the PTF because he saidsince he was already drawing apension from government, hisconscience would not allow him todraw another salary from the purseof the same government. ·He is theonly former head of state that doesnot own property or land in Abuja .·Every attempt to rubbish himthrough probes in time past enededup vindicating him! The man who was asked by OBJ to take over the running of PTF before it was scrapped with the aim of probing and indicting Buhari, was the one who ended up being prosecuted form is appropriating $100m of PTF funds! Buhari again, was vindicated·He has OPENLY challenged those who accuse him of religious fundamentalism to come out and show proof. No one has till today,taken up the challenge. His personaldriver of many years is a Christianfrom Plateau State ! ·His government initiated the War Against Indiscipline that has made environmental cleanliness, queuing up, not urinating by the roadside etc features of our national life even till today Does it then surprise you why corrupt people would be spreading such heinous rumors about Buhari? He is a threat to them and they know what he is capable of doing to corruption and corrupt people when he comes into office! So shine your eyes and make the right choice. decision. Ifhonesty and probity are the thingsyou want for Nigeria ,now is thetime to choose right. When you castyour vote for the BUHARI, youwould have cast one vote for ahonest man
