WHAT IS ABOUT BUHARI? First of all let me congratulate Gen.Muhammadu Buhari who won the APC Presidential primaries. Over the past few days i have heard so many propaganda against Gen.Muhammadu Buhari and i came up with a few arguments about who Buhari really is. They claimed hes a religious fundamentalist but they forgot to remember that he had 11 Christians and 8 muslims as Governors, 11 Christians, 8 Muslims and 1 Atheist as Ministers and Clement Isong was the CBN governor during his administration as the Head of states. Some people also belong to the school of thought that hes too old to be the president, a friend on twitter gave a perfect response to those people.1. How old was Mandela when he became the SA President?(Answer-75) 2.Do they carry bags of cement at Aso Rock? (Answer-No) I have come to a conclusion that Nigerians who are below 30 or slightly above 30 dont even know him/his regime(1984-1985)except the few who had taken time out to read about him. These are few undeniable facts about GEN. BUHARI 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 successor IBB! In his time as Head of State he reduced inflation from 23% to 4%, by fiscal policy and a home-grown economic team (not achieved under any other era, even military). J.J Rawlings of Ghana took over 2 years before him and killed all the corrupt leaders, while Buhari, only sentenced the corrupt leaders here(Nigeria) to prison. Under his watch as PTF chairman, what he did in road construction in that short period hasn’t been matched by almost 15 years of the PDP (mis)rule in Nigeria. Hospitals, Universities and Secondary schools across the country never witnessed as much benefits as they got from the PTF from any government after or before the time of Gen. Buhari. All of these achievements are still visible in some of these institutions till date. Despite serving in a senior capacity in the oil sector, first as minister for petroleum and this petroleum Trust fund, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari has no Gas station, oil rig, refinery or an oil bloc like so many of our leaders today. People who know him have said of him. “All I need from Buhari is his word, I can take it to the bank”. He is the only politician in the country today who fills rallies without renting crowd or sharing money and branded food stuff to the public. Buhari refused to collect an allowance while serving as Chairman of the PTF because he said” since he was already drawing a pension from government, his conscience would not allow him to draw another salary from the purse of the same government.” He is the only former head of state that does not own a property or land in Abuja even abroad. Every attempt to rubbish him through probes in time past end up vindicating him! The man who was asked by OBJ to take over the running of PTF before it was scrapped with aim of probing and indicting Buhari, was the one who ended up being prosecuted for misappropriating $100M of PTF funds, Buhari’s regime was vindicated. Buhari has openly challenged those who accuse him of religious fundamentalism to come out and show proof. No one has come out till date. His personal driver of many years is a Christian from Plateau State. Buhari as a Head of State was locally refining fuel in Nigeria and exporting 100,000 barrels of refined products per day. He never imported fuel. He never increased the pump price of fuel. The Naira had more value than the dollar. #1 was equivalent to $1.4. Buhari did not borrow a dime from any country. The price of fuel was very low. Buhari signed the contract for Warri Refinery, Kaduna Refinery, for more than 20 depots all over the country, the laying of pipelines, more than 3200 kilometres and Nigeria did not borrow a kobo for these projects. The Agricultural industries were booming. Food was everywhere and affordable. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari is a threat to our corrupt leaders because they know what he is capable of doing to corruption and corrupt people when he comes into office! We shouldn’t be surprised why corrupt people would be spreading heinous rumours about him. Buhari may not be the best man for the job but hes the best man available for the job, If truly we want honesty and probity for Nigeria, now is the time to choose the right and credible people into the governance of this Great Nation. Let’s educate both the illiterates and elites of this country on the above facts about Buhari We all used to love GEJ but overtime he has failed us. Hes not a man that can preside over his home much more of a Nation. We shouldnt allow GEJ to finish what he had started which is to destroy our Dear Country Nigeria. We are greater than GEJ and Otuoke community, please vote and support wisely. God Bless Nigeria
