DWHO IS AFRAID OF 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 ICT generation that is largely ignorant about the events of the Buhari era (1983-85) and so can be misinformed and misled by needless and selfish propaganda. I have sat with many in the under-30 bracket and those slightly above, who only have a faint recollections of the Buhari era and their level of ignorance about that era is amazing. Before being MILITARY Head of State, Buhari had been Governor of the entire North East (under Murtalas regime) as well as Minister for Petroleum. He later served as Chairman of PTF under Abacha. Please consider the following unassailable 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 successor IBB! ·In his time as Head of State he reduced inflation rate from 23% to 4%, by fiscal discipline and a homegrown economic team (not achieved under any other era, even military). ·Jerry Rawlings of Ghana took over 2yrs and killed all the corrupt leaders, while Buhari only sentenced the corrupt leaders here to prison. ·Under his watch as PTF Chairman, what he did in road construction in that short period hasnt been matched by 12yrs of the PDP. ·Hospitals and universities around the country never witnessed as much benefits from any other Government as they did from the PTF. ·Despite serving in senior capacity in the oil sector, first as Minister for Petroleum and later as Chairman of Petroleum Trust Fund, Buhari has no petrol station, much less a rig, refinery or an oil block like so many of our leaders. ·He could have retired into nauseating opulence like IBB or Danjuma or even OBJ but didnt. ·Instead of hobnobbing with the high and mighty, he has cast his lot with the ordinary man most of who follow him out of hope and belief in his values. People who know him have said of him... All I need from Buhari is his word, and I can take it to the bank. ·He is the only politician in the North today who fills rallies without renting a crowd. The Kaduna rally of 2nd March is an eloquent proof! ·He refused to collect an allowance while serving as Chairman of the PTF because according to him, since he was already drawing a pension from government, his conscience would not allow him to draw another salary from the purse of thesame government. ·He is the only former head of state that does not own property or land in Abuja . ·Every attempt to rubbish him through probes in time past ended up 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 for misappropriating $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 personal driver of many years is a Christian from 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 rumours 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 decision. If honesty and probity are the things you want for Nigeria ,now is the time to choose right. When you cast your vote for BUHARI, you would have cast a vote for a honest man who will restore hope 4 our childrens future. Now that you know better, will you please educate another person BY FORWARDING THIS TO AS MANY AS YOU CAN?? LONG LIVE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA. NAIJA oni baje oooohh!
