Information from NewsDay Reporters: 6 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD AVOID BUHARI LIKE EBOLA VIRUS, By #Steve Jaja: 1. #Violence He makes provocative statements that are capable of putting the country in crisis. This attitude caused the death of hundreds of innocent lives after the 2011 elections where about 10 youth corps were also murdered in cold blood. 2015 is not here, but he has already promised dogs and baboon... Compare this with the US election where Romney wasted no time to congratulate Pres. Obama or the Australian election where the incumbent, Rudd lost and quickly congratulated Abbott. A great leader should always place national interest above personal ambition. 2. #Bigotry Hes intolerant of any idea other than his own, especially on religion, politics, or race. No wonder he doesnt criticize anything that concerns his religion, no matter how bad. Hence, his obvious sympathy to BHaram. A good leader should have listening ears, take a stand on what is good but also allow people to air their views and be entitled to their opinions. 3. #Principle Hes not a man of principle, that is why he has been jumping from one party to another, even aligning with known corrupt elements in the hope of actualizing his presidential ambition. Great leaders dont do this. They always stick with like-minds, no matter the situation. 4. #Lack of Democratic Features Though, his admirers want us to believe that he was invited to lead after the coup but the fact is that he wasnt the most senior office at that time. Nevertheless, weve not forgotten the obnoxious Decree 4 - against which truth was no defence. He used this to jail journalists and attempt to cow the whole media. He did not also make any plan to organize election and handover to a democratic govt. 5. #Tribalism The lopsided execution of PTF projects which was 74% and 26% (according to PTF Situation Report, Vol 2, 98) in the north and south respectively showed his tribalistic nature. The dumping of Dr. Alex Ekwueme in Kirikiri maximum prison and Shagari placed under house arrest was beyond tribalism. 6. His 2-year reign as a Head of State left #no legacy Buharis 2-year iron-fist rule left no legacy in Nigeria. There is nothing we can point at now that was established by his govt. Or should we call the cancellation of Lagos monorail as his legacy after-all Nigeria till date has no monorail? Lets end this part 1 with the quote of October 4, 2010: Buhari is perpetually un-electable because of his insensitivity to Nigeria’s diversity and his parochial focus are already well-known. - Mallam Nasir El-Rufai
